Amazed to bored in sixty seconds!

[dalek sec]

Depends on when you played. I played it when it first came out and since there werent that many RPGs i knew about at 7 i played through it. Well of course i enjoyed it very much and still like the story to this day(the materia thing gets boring after 3 or 4 playthroughs) Most of the haters are people who play it years after it came out and try and compare it with todays standards which are pretty high with all the next-genness to everything

I bought it a few years back and yes I did realize that the game's graphic's would be a bit dated. What I meant by that I flat out hate has to do with pretty much the story, characters, the combat (so damn annoying) and pretty much everything else. I'm not trying to compair it to say a next-gen game but just on what I thought about the game by it's self.

MGS2 and R6V2.

I was having immense fun with both for about 3 hours before i turned them off. Thank God both were rentals

You can tell what a games going to be like before the first boss...?

Hmm, never knew that.

 

[Sewblon]

Ninja Gaiden 2. I obsessed over the first one but I got tired of the second one after the first level.

 

[Mr.Bubbles43]

Fallout 3

Not sure why but the first two times I tried to get into it I just said, fuck it, and did something else. I loved oblivion, but that was largely do to the mods.

Watch is smartass. I've played a bit of later on at a friends house and thought the game still stucked.

 

[ratbob985]

GTA 4, bought it on the release date played it for a total of 4 hour then traded it in

 

[Iaspis]

Jericho. Also, the biggest let-down for me ever. Had to finish it though, cause it had the words "Clive Barker" in its name.

 

[Praelanthor]

conflict denied ops 5 Mins

 

[SimuLord]

Tortuga: Pirates of the New World
Loaded it, started it, thought "Hang on, This is just Port Royale" & deleted it.

Worse than that, it's a stripped down Port Royale. I don't know what the hell Ascaron was thinking on that one.

Quickest a game went from "OK, this looks promising" to "I want those two hours of my life back" was with Neverwinter Nights for me. The fanboys may bay for my hide, but I can't stand BioWare.

 

[Calamity]

I didn't last an hour with Dragon Quest 8. I've gotten too used to...you know...having to THINK when I play RPGs now. (I also have a really hard time replaying old school RPGs I used to love for this reason)
After the 15th battle of doing nothing but telling my DBZ clones to "attack" I turned it off and returned it.

MGS4

Around the 3rd Act or so

Not being a fanboy, but you should continue just for the awesomeness that is the fourth act.

I strangely got bored of Bioshock after 2 hours.

I totally agree with you and disagree with you at the same time! MGS4 seemed boring as hell when I watched my friends playing it, well by that I mean I watched the cutscenes with them.

But yeah Bioshock. I kept trying and trying but I just couldn't see the point in trudging through yet one more corridor to kill one more big daddy.

 

[Dommyboy]

Dawn of War Soulstorm; every moment I played it I became more annoyed and wanting to play Dark Crusade. The voice acting made me dread playing SoulStorm, everything sounded like an Imperial Guardsmen or some guy talking through a fan with asthma.

 

[Wargamer]

Little Big Planet - raced through the game on the first play, nothing amazed me.
The editor didn't interest me either.

This, to me, rather sounds like someone saying "I played a hand of Poker and lost, so Poker sucks".

Little Big Planet cannot be 'raced through'. The 50+ standard levels are a combination of fun minigames, part collection, idea-generation and tutorial. The point of the 'single player' game is to give you ideas on how the Editor can be used, and get parts for said editor. The game itself is all about multi-player. LBP can never be completed. That's the point - you will NEVER beat every level, because there's always more levels just waiting to be built.

I'll put good money you never completed the Unbeatable Sackzuke level.

 

[Lord Krunk]

The PC version of Morrowind.

The Xbox version held my interest, because it felt so much better to play. But the PC version just didn't play right.

 

[Wargamer]

Anyway, games I tanked out of...


I suppose FF12 counts, when I discovered a two-fold flaw.

#1: By just 'rushing' to get the Overdrives (or whatever the game calls 'em), I could pretty much murder every single boss in a few seconds of intense pain.
#2: When I found a boss that didn't work on, I was able to flee my way through an area made for players 40 levels higher than me, and loop round to the plot.

After that, I got really tired of it. Never touched it since.

I'm also going to put up a vote for Populous: The Beginning and Destruction Derby. Both seemed really awesome games, but hindsight clouded my vision. When it came to actually playing the games again, I found them lacklustre. Buyer beware, rose-tinted glasses obscure your vision of how dull a game really is.

Let's see... I get bored really easily so there is quite a list to choose from.

WH40k: Soulstorm - Three missions then I didn't pick it up again in single player for a month. I only started playing again because I would comp stomp with my brother. I still haven't beaten the game with a single faction.

Gears of War - I think I lasted an hour then uninstalled it. Maybe I just expect something different from a PC shooter but after the 20th corridor, the 10th hole in the ground, and clunky controls which made it a minor miracle if I actually got a melee attack in I just stopped.

Bioshock - I made it through the Hospital, I think, but then I was done. I'd probably spend more time on it if my computer was better but after like an hour or two it felt repetitive and I didn't care enough about getting more powers or weapons.

HL2: Ep. 1 - The first time I quit after I hit the surface. About a month or two later I picked it up and lasted to the warehouse then I quit. I have no idea how close I was to the end but I doubt I was far, I just didn't feel like wasting any more of my time on the game.

HL2: Ep. 2 - I installed it, started a game, and then just called it quits and uninstalled it before I got much of anywhere. I couldn't make myself care.

TF2 - I played TFC regularly for a year, on and off for another year and then almost never up until TF2. Fortress Forever kept me interested for a couple weeks then TF2 came out and I think I played for two or three days. Still haven't picked it back up. It just feels 2D compared to TFC, I miss my conc, rocket, and grenade jumping.

ok i got to agree for the first 2, but Valve games are entertaining, anyway, mine is Ninja Gaiden 2, nothing about it holds your interest even the combat is repetative and boring

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Metal Gear Solid 2. I played up until the timed event where I had to take pictures (my buddies on the codec were extremely unhelpful about what I was supposed to be doing and where exactly I was supposed to be doing it) then the fun dried up. I loved MGS3: Subsistence, but not this one.

 

[TheTemby]

OH! and pretty much every game in the XBLA

 

[Vortigar]

Three titles in reverse order:
3. Halo (played it for two hours or so, borrowed it from a friend shortly after release for PC), I was probably way too much into UT at the time.

2. Mirror's Edge (Common answer it seems).
I was really interested in the idea of it.
Got the demo.
Got so annoyed with it that I didn't even finish that.
I think I played it for about fifteen minutes in total.

1. Guitar Hero.
Played two songs at a friend's place.
"Wait, this is just one huge QTE... And I'm doing this purely to score points? No thanks."
I've grown to hate rythm games, in no small part because I'm utterly crap at them. I like to analyse a system, gain an understanding of it and then apply that understanding. Auto-queue games are completely counter to that. There's nothing to understand, just input what's on screen. Meh... (I'm also a singer, so don't need a game to have any kind of rock fantasy.)
