  2. I don't know why but, I'm bothered by the fact that it says "Rocket League" in the video's description.
    Even though it's not in the list, nor do I say it should be in there.

  3. Really surprised MHW is on here considering the game tells you in its name (and has been doing so for years) what you’re expected to do. If you didn’t know that going in, that’s on you. I’ve got only 4 games from the franchise under my belt and from the very first one I figured I’d be hunting monsters. Like the game tells you. Pretty vehemently.

  4. 4:31 – JULES! Don't scare me like that!
    That expression nearly gave me a cardiac arrest. XD

    I personally found the Grindstone in Mortal Kombat 11 to be excessive to
    a Sisyphus level .. add to that the lack of my favorite character Ferra/Torr
    .. it really snuffed out my interest to play it quite quickly.

  5. Honestly, Final Fantasy 7 (original) wasn't ruined but definitely lessened a lot by the crazy grinding. I finished that game at level 50 (ish) and that took the whole length of the game to reach, the amount of exp and time you need for reach the cap is insane!

  6. I remember played Maplestory from beta and it my 1st MMORPG I ever played, it took me 3 years to level Icemage to level 83 and 90% of all quest in the game and I quit in the 4th years.

    It grind exp 1-2% an hour and if you die, you lost 6-10% and the enemy will 2 shots you even wuth barrier skill. What a good time

    Maplestory now just a cake walk compare to it golden time

  7. (Spoiler)
    I love Ni No Kuni II, but even I was annoyed and insulted when I did those difficult, grindy side quests and learned that the reason for them was to give an old lady the ingredients for lipstick.

  8. Usually I don't comment on videos I watch, but I have to ask: why is the Gran Turismo franchise on this list?

    "if you want the most expensive cars, you have to grind the same races over and over again"
    What did you expect? Literally every racing game ever that isn't Forza (which throws free cars at you at every chance the game gets) does this. So going by your logic, if you can't get a supercar/hypercar in 10 minutes of gameplay, the game is grindy, apparently.

    The Crew should have been on the list instead, if you wanted to include a really grindy racing game franchise.

  9. More like "since microtransactions" because games have had grind. Microtransactions are why we haven't seen high output of top quality AAA since Gen 7.
