It makes me sad, but also makes me consider which genres are most valuable to me, and which genres I should look into to experience the "must-plays" of them so I could have the finest, well-rounded vidya experience possible.
It also makes me regret my time wasted in assfaggots and MMOs, I was a poorfag who didn't know any better with a shit computer

Even if there are that many "good games", the number that are in my taste, are the genres I like to play, and that I'm actually good at is much, much smaller.
Games aren't like movies. If a movie is objectively good, most people will enjoy it and will get roughly the same experience out of it. But if someone sucks at RTS games or just doesn't like them, they aren't going to enjoy Starcraft at all. Inb4 "but starcraft isn't any good you have bad taste so your argument is bunk waaaaahhhh bitch bitch moan moan" It's just a fucking example.

>using a lack of skill as a criteria for whether you will enjoy a game
What, do you expect to go into a game as a natural talent? Part of playing games is learning skills and mechanics. I'd never played an SRPG in my life and I tried Fire Emblem. I sucked general dogshit but over time I got better and now I can beat that shit on the hardest difficulty. Not much of an achievement, but it is a vast improvement from where I started.
Not liking games is another thing entirely but if it comes from sucking at the game, then the person in question would just need to git gud
I wasn't great at RTSes and I still love StarCraft. Wasn't until I was 21 years old that I could beat its campaign (I did have to look up a walkthrough for one mission admittedly, the fucking UED vs Mengsk on Korhal was an absolute bitch) but I still enjoyed it greatly. Even for multiplayer shit you can find shit that isn't nearly as skill-dependent as ladder shit for a lot of multiplayer games that have custom games, like StarCraft

I've had similar thoughts, anon. That at the rate I complete and enjoy something, tons more will be released in the meantime. Not just for video games, but movies, books, etc. Everything. There's too many wondrous things to possibly experience in life. But that's not entirely bad. You've got to pick and choose the things you enjoy. If you're playing a game that you don't enjoy entirely and are only playing it to cross it off a list then what's the point? Enjoying trash to later realize it's trash is better than trying to convince yourself that you like something.

Etc. for other mediums. Also consider that even if you filter out all the bad entries, there are still too many decent-good-great games, films, books etc. to consume in a lifetime. Its a good feeling I think. Even if I somehow run dry of vidya (I'm more likely to stop with the medium than reach an end point of content), there is still the mountains of books I've barely scratched the surface of, films to watch, music, comics/manga, anime, real life stuff. Plus we have the race war to get ready for and that's going to be a real fun time. You might say the Dark Souls of real life.

I'm playing bioshock infinite and not enjoying it. I really need something else to play.
It's literally just chase after not-Elsa and try to to waifu her :^^^^))))))))) and it makes me so fucking mad how shit literally everything about the game is. Like, holy shit, why isn't there any redeeming qualities? Every moment there's something that rips the control out of your hands and then to make things worse the first power you get is to take control of someone else and let them fight for you. I got to a big battle and just possessed someone and then went about my merry looting the boxes for cash. Then I realised there isn't even any reason to loot for cash because there isn't shit to buy at all. Everything you need can be summoned or scavenged and you can't hold on to health packs or salts so unless you're currently in need of something there's no reason to look for anything to loot.

With JRPGs I've played most of the well-received Squaresoft, Square Enix releases. Live A Live, Tactics Ogre, Chrono Trigger, most of the Final Fantasy series.
The Mother series is probably the biggest thing I haven't played, and I heard there's a mod that fixes the awkward controls in Earthbound. I'm honestly skeptical about it because it seems like it'd be more of a "I played this as a kid so I say I like it as an adult" rather than something you'd play as an adult and still properly enjoy. A kid's game, basically. I feel the need to give it a fair shake but I'm JRPG'd out right now and it's pretty close to the top of the backlog. Same goes for the Mario & Luigi games (though I did enjoy Paper Mario TTYD when it came out).
Legend of Dragoon was on my backlog and I had just made it past the first few battles, but the PSP I was playing it on decided to crap out on me and I haven't touched it since. I wasn't exactly impressed by it but I keep hearing good things about it so I wanna try it again sometime.

I'd recommend the Falcom JRPGs, so any trails game and its sequels really. They've really earned their sterling reputation. Their Ys series is more ARPG but I'd still recommend it.
Wild Arms is pretty damn atypical for a JRPG; 1, 2 and 3 are all great
If you haven't played any SMT games, definitely try out Nocturne or Digital Devil Saga
Persona 1 and 2 are both great, though you'll probably have to canvas opinion for which one to play first. I wouldn't be able to decide.
Grandia 1 and 2 are legendary
Skies of Arcadia as well
Any of the Phantasy Star games, IV especially
Radiant Historia is also fantastic
Suikoden 2 is legendary, 1 as well
Tales series is definitely worth looking into, though its a fucking pain to decide on which game to start with
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Breath of Fire (though this is more of a love it or hate it type one, it still counts as "legendary" to a lot of people)
If you're counting SRPGs, Fire Emblem (7) and Valkyria Chronicles are both great, and those games in particular should inspire you to play more in the series if you end up liking them
Those are some off the top of my head
