Games that you hate but everyone else loves

Mass Effect 3. It didn't get to me at all. My friends say I have no soul. I say they're wrong about calling the game the third return of Christ, second being Mass Effect 1, as they call it.
Yes, because "flamehield up" totaly means "I want to discuss the topic in which my opinion is in minority and I may get flamed for being different.". Seriously... And the topic didn't say I'm obligated to inform why I don't like certain games. Posting list without any explanation is valid.SpiderJerusalem said:
Oops! I read that "brought" as "bought", my bad.Uikri said:
This thread has been done to death a million times over. No, you are not a special snowflake for disliking things others like. Deal with it.
Well that kinda what happens when every game after it took all the interesting stuff from it but yeah its love can get a bit insane.Terminate421 said:

Skyrim, I don't care, the world treats you the exact same whether your more powerful then god himself or the lowest peasant. The music is drab and the little bits are unoriginal and soon grow tiresome such as when you level for the nineteenth time I don't have to hear three men chanting the same shit. The fact that screaming kills thing is hilarious but is ridiculously powerful and soon loses its charm. The leveling system will OUTCLASS YOU if you get anything but your combat skills up, so if you craft several items in-between quests and you level via the crafting system you will most likely end up dying to enemies that used to be easy because of crafting. It gets worse if your sneaking, which goes up very fast, if you do anything but slice guy's necks you'll get drilled into the ground by common bandits. Shops don't get better inventory as you level up, instead you have to get your barter up a certain amount, trade enough with them, then invest in them and finally you can buy anything other then iron weapons and armor from that shop keeper. Why couldn't they have applied to the leveling system to the shops so that you don't get outclassed?
I have more, many interiors to caves and such are reused with a recognizable frequency, the only real thing that changes is the NPC's in them and the items in them. Lines are repeated so often. The guards are terrible at their jobs. Your to often given credit for things that require no skill, if in a battle for a hold-point, for instance and you kill one enemy guard you will be hailed as the person who turned the tides for killing one guard. Many actors are phoning it in so very hard. Most characters blend together and there really isn't a single memorable one. Vampirism is so under-powered in comparison to the werewolf virus.
Little RP things like the fact that the Khajiit aren't allowed into the cities but if the player character is a Khajiit he can go everywhere. Why, me, a random cat dude is allowed into a city but people willing to pay are not? And don't get me started on the fact children can't get killed by dragons or a certain beggar.
In conclusion, for every one thing Skyrim does that puts a grin on people's faces there are nine or ten reasons that are apparent and bad. I can't overlook the issues I listed above but I understand people will still like whatever they want to like, but in the end it will only be remembered as a mediocre game and nothing more.
If anything, I anticipated agressive, know-it-all, response (like one presented by yourself, only the topic is different), which should be ignored, hence "flameshield up". Uikri asked nicely, so I responded. If you find that answer as meaningless, that's your problem. Also, posting such opinions doesn't necessarily mean I want attention. Maybe I just wanted to show my opinion? Maybe I just decided to write here without much reason? Maybe I just wanted to let know some poor soul it isn't alone in not liking those games or let know all those other people, that there exist a person that doesn't like those games? Or maybe I just wanted for my e-penis to grow by rising my postcount, a feat in which unexpectedly you help me out?SpiderJerusalem said:
Also I'm fine with being called "lazy, potentially ignorant and a troll". You didn't call me neither (is that correct way of saying?). Maybe a troll at first and a little ignorant though not directly but then you went beyond that without much of a reason aside from "he doesn't agree with me".
Dragon Age: Origins. Let me be frank: Quests are simply bad game design. They add playtime without adding any real character or story substance. So, yeah, virtually all modern RPGs in general, too.
Halo and other FPS. I did like Half-Life, and the more thoughtful FPSs, but those are few and far between.
Assassin's Creed 2. I felt the combat was very clunky, and the story and characters uncompelling.
God of War series. I thought they were fun, for about 2 hours, then I felt they got repetitive and dull. I will not say that they are bad games, but just overrated in my opinion.
I will stick up for turn-based RPG combat though, as I find it engaging on an intellectual level rather than a reflexive level. Sure, not everyone is going to like that type of game, but for me, it works.

Oh noes, I made a typo, whatever shall I do?SpiderJerusalem said:
You put awfully lot of work in responding to those empty messeges... Also, if I think my messeges do hold some meaning and you don't, that means we disagree with each other.SpiderJerusalem said:
Yes, yes, EVERY game after its release took all the interesting stuff.Aprilgold said:
There was no interesting stuff. Modding capabilities are all that I find good from it but aside from that there is hardly anything good from the game. Also, it's boring. It's not bad but it's boring. It's not good but it's boring. Boring.
I hate Half-Life. Halo did more for shooters than it ever did. I played Half-Life 1 and...I was bored, jump-scared occasionally and in pain because of how dull the shooting was. No impact or weight to the weapons or interesting AI or anything. Then I grew up, discovered the internet and saw praise lavished upon it and I was gob-smacked. Same with Portal.
