Valkyria Chronicles. I love it. I love the characters, the Japanese voice acting (and that it was an option), and the tactical combat. It's just that my brain sucks or isn't geared for that kind of thing, and I just blank out once I get to the desert. It's just too much to take in for me. Couldn't get far at all in XCOM for that reason, but I actually loved VC.
Dead Rising (1 or 2). The time limits drive me crazy. I feel like they're there to cause tension and pressure, but all they do is stress me out as it's not scary and like Crazy Taxi in a zombie infested mall. I'm a completionist and it drives me insane to see people that I can't save and have to ignore.
Bioshock. Love the setting, the dialog/writing so far...but it just never gelled with me. I hate the plumbing (er..hacking), I never have enough ammo to handle big daddies, and the vita-chambers remove the tension of dealing with threats. I tried it like 4 times because of my love of System Shock 2...and I may give it another shot. Shadow of the Colossus was another game I "was supposed to like", and eventually fell head over heels with it once it clicked with me. I'm hoping I can do the same with Bioshock.
