I know exactly what you mean. Because I'm the same with Bethesda games. I never really gave Skyrim a chance, because I need at least a little red thread in role-playing games and I like to have an impressive and comprehensive story.

I certainly tried Fallout 3 6 times, but I lost interest every time shortly after the game started.

Another series of games I really tried were the Zelda games. Here, too, the spark of genius was never to be ignited. By far the longest I have held out with Manjoras Mask. Funnily enough I like the Gameboy Color games, like Four Seasons.
