Of this generation?
Fallout New Vegas - Which I might have liked if it had worked.
No More Heroes - Which I might have liked if I enjoyed roaming barren and boring open worlds with very repetitive and uninspired combat areas, and QTE-like minigames based on jobs so boring and tedious, we make immigrants & convicts do them. I dig Suda51 (the guy is hilarious), I just hate his games.

I'll jump the bandwagon of FFXIII haters; that piece of shit really deserved all the beatings. My other picks would be only 2 other games:
Mass Effect - as much as I wanted to love it, it was horrible. I was expecting a plot similar to that of KOTOR, which might have been a problem; but on the other hand Jade Empire succeeded to entertain me and turned out to be a superb game, even if not as awesome as KOTOR. I hated the empty characters, lead by my whole team. Hated how the money just got hoarded up in such a ridicoulous way that I started selling and buying back the same item until it looked "okay". Hated the repetitive combat that was annoying to begin with... The only thing I loved about it was the galaxy map, and its music of course. The rest of the music was quite ass for me.
Need For Speed: High Stakes - God, I literally broke a keyboard over this abomination. I don't really know how they managed to make this one different from the series (the rest is just about as frustrating), but it drove me insane. The damage system basically blocked me from any income, as I kept breaking my cars like in Carmageddon, and the overly long races just made me want to lick a lawnmower from under.

Red Alert 3
Loved the first two games and the expansions, the third put such an emphasis on multiplayer that it pissed me off utterly. The fact that it forced you to have an AI ally all the time in the hope you'd get someone to play co-op with you. I just don't play RTS's multiplayer...especially the SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN! Arg. That and it took away all the cool cold war bluster and replaced it with some bizarre techno thing.

I could never bring myself to genuinely hate a game. Sure I've played plenty of bad games before, but I never felt like "Oh this game is awful, I loathe every single aspect of it and there are absolutely no redeemable qualities." If I play a game and don't like it, I just decide it's not for me and stop playing it, instead of forcing myself to get through it and end up loathing it.
The only game I can think of that really pissed me of was Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (Not Tactics, Tactics was pretty cool but also didn't really fit with Fallout in some ways) but even then that's because of my inherent bias towards Fallout, and how the game absolutely shit on the universe as a whole. When looked on upon it's own merits, it's really just a subpar shooter, nothing more, nothing less.

Fuzion Frenzy 2. This was the only game that I played for 2 hours, quit, and returned it for another game. I played Sneak King for christ sake and I didn't trade that in. FF2 was the worst game I played.
