Popular games and series you just don't get

Chrono Trigger was nothing more than a thoroughly average game with easy, simplistic gameplay and maybe one or two good characters in Frog and Magus. Oh and and a great soundtrack.

Cross' battle system was far more interesting.

Funny because Chrono Cross' battle system is the thing that made me give up on the game. Absolutely hated it.

Skyrim, Fallout 4 pretty much anything by Bethesda.

The gameplay just doesn't grip me at all

I'm going to second this. I think the worlds are awesome and the monsters and stuff are awesome but there's just not enough structured story and I get bored with it. It's just too open.

There are certain aspects of certain games I don't get. I can't think of many games that I don't get at all. I mean, I get that some games are hilariously absurd, some have incredible lore, some have addictive and/or enjoyable gameplay. Thankfully I can't think of a game which I've played which lacked in story, character, gameplay, addictiveness, fun etc. altogether. But then, I don't play many of the genres I don't tend to enjoy, so... maybe that has something to do with it.

Persona and Fallout are two series I could not get into. I just wasn't very interested in building social links in P3 and the dungeon crawling was very repetitive. The cool aspect of crafting personas and the decent characters did not make up for those.

For Fallout, I just hate first person RPGs. And I like open world games but I don't think I like the fully-open style of Bethesda games.
