It's a bad time.

You walk around slow as fuck in a top down view. The world is full of creatures you can't even see. They randomly pull you into battle scenes. Your companion from the start kicks ass and makes you feel like a wussy little girl compared to her. You and your baby knife. Halfway through the game this freak of nature with pointy ears dies on you. That hot piece of eye candy no longer becomes playable unless you glitch the game. When she dies, you are stuck with wussy characters who attack with scalpels and boomerangs. The only person you hope shows up, to attack quickly, is a dude bro with massive guns. God damn he's sexy. Too bad he's not gay for you and that whole feeling torments you throughout the rest of the game.

Watered down copies of warhammer 40k factions battle it out across the galaxy.

That reminds me of phantasy star II

*walks into business meeting*

Me: It's like Call of Duty except there are no guns. And no killing. No matchmaking, voice chat, voting on maps, or blood. Also, you're an octopus.

Chairman: Octopus?  Too risqué. Make it a squid and you've got yourself a winner.

Me: Oh, and did i mention it's for the Wii U.

Chairman: GET THE FUCK OUT!

And it didn't remind you of Final Fantasy VII?

Old creepy guy teams up with shit-mouthed girl with daddy issues to fight mushroom zombies in a generic post-apocalyptic setting.

That's a lot better than what I said

I got a good one. The whole population of your planet is really hungry and dumb that they can't manage shit and run out of food. They send 3 incompetent tiny guys to another planet where living plants, even smaller than themselves, help them do anything and everything your supposed to do except walk. They lose the device to travel back home and fight a giant Golden gummy bear. Spoiler: they win.

That sounds like Pikmin.

You get shot in the head and then spend 100 hours looking for your memory and/or capsules.
