Forza Motor Sport 2.
When I first got a 360, I went to IGN or some review site to see what the highest score game was for the console. Sure enough, FMS2 was up at the top. So I jumped to the conclusion that high scoring = good game, and bought it. Played it for an hour or so and was impressed by the pretty car graphics, but got bored soon after.
That's when I learned I didn't like realistic racing games, and should never rely only on review sites to make purchasing decisions.

would you like to play some triple triad with the rules from Galbania (have no clue if i'm remembering that name right) or can i interest you in this magic lamp? NO DON"T USE IT!! jk jk just being a douche you can bill me for the increase in stress at the mention of triple triad later.Dracowrath said:
ot the gta games always bore me all that happens is jump in crash a car kill some people etc.
also mmorpgs get tedious after the first few levels
I felt that... Played the demo of FM3 with much trepidation. FM3 is a lot more fun in my opinion. And that is the point of a game in my opinion. If it isn't enjoyable, what's the point?Monkeybald said:
Metro 2033. I wanted to like that game so much. I really did. But god dammit man, its beautiful sure, but the 'stealth' sucks really bad. Every enemy everywhere knows exactly where you are if you crack a tiny twig under your foot and there is no hiding. I know it's supposed to be more immersive, but THE GUNS SUCK! It's like a WoW wipe if you get caught. There is no more point to trying so you just stand there until you die so you can try again.
It reminds me of that Battletoads sequence on the speeder bikes - you just have to do it over and over and try to remember the sequence of movements. Throw knife at guy 1, hide in corner, silent shot at guy 2 as he patrols by, turn corner left, throw a knife at guy 3 - DAMN should have hit guy 4 there, I'm dead AGAIN!
Also, I do not for the life of me understand people who like Oblivion. I think I've played it for all of like three hours. I just couldn't do it. I just kept thinking "but people love this game! I love RPG's, why does this suck so much?" and then i gave up and moved on. It's soooo ugly and sooooo boring! It's not Bethesda, I love New Vegas. It's just The Elder Scrolls.

FALLOUT BLOODY 3.
It doesn't matter how much freedom you have if all you're getting is the freedom to do absolutely nothing of interest in the most hideous environment in the history of video games. I STILL don't understand why Fallout 3 was so accepted by the mainstream...

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories bored me to tears, not to mention how damn buggy the Wii's hardware is.

I know everyone says these things about they're favorite games, but FF7 is worth continuing. I know its long, it really is, but if you like JRPGs at all and you like a good story, FF7's story is amazing as it goes along. If you don't like that genre, then forget it, FF7 will suck the life out of you.
I think of it kind of like 'The Hobbit'. The first chapter of that book was sooo SLOW! Honestly people kept saying it was so good, but i couldn't get past the first shitty chapter. I re-read the first chapter like six times before i finally sucked it up and went further. It is now one of my favorite books.
I'm not excusing a slow start. The start shouldn't be so slow. That is a clear flaw, but in this case it's worth looking past.
Gears of War. Run to cover. Shoot. Advance.
Grand Theft Auto. Brown 'n' gloom.
The Witcher. If you can't make it good, make it grimdark.

YES finally another of my kind! Fallout is pretty good but Oblivion put me to sleep. The thing that bothers me the most about it though is that anyone I know that likes Oblivion will constantly tell me that I must have been playing it wrong and that I should try again.intheweeds said:
Although I die inside a little every time someone trashes Oblivion, I have to sit back and remember that it can be a ***** to really get into. I think Fallout is a little more accessible because it does a little less of the whole drop you with no direction and a ton of crap to get acquainted.itsausernamewhatofit said:
I found the original Half-Life boring. Then I found out the Steam version didn't play the music without a CD.
I thought the weapons were balanced, and the AI was good, but without the music, there was a lack of excitement in many of the encounters, and the game seemed to drag on forever underground without a change in scenery.

Psychonaughts. The difficulty curve was like a steep mountain on an flat endless plane. I went back & forth between almost falling asleep to having an anxiety attack.
Gratuitous space battles. Very very dull 
Cant control your ships midbattle.
M.U.D. TV. Interesting concept, awful execution.
Kings Bounty. Just didnt click.
Probably tells something of how forgiving I am,,, Went through my enormous game library and only found those three...

LA Noire, just boring. At first I thought it was amazing, then I got to the midway point wishing it to end.
