It's not supposed to be a horror game. Just have a atmospere of depression and hopelessness.Krantos said:

OT: Oblivion for the PC. I played it on the console and wanted to try out all the nifty mods.
Unfortunately, none of the PCs I've had since I bought it could run it. The PC I'll build soon should remedy that.
Any movie tie-in ever. I learned my lesson after some LOTR and Transformers games for PS2. I got them cheap at least.
THANK YOU!! Finally someone else who hates that crap! I found it to just be a boring brown shooter game with absolutly no story and if it was any more linear then it would be a wooden tightrope infested with termites.archvile93 said:
OT: Halo series. Once again, boring and not even fun to play.
Borderlands.
Mostly because when I got it I was so far behind that my friends had already beaten it along with all the DLC and had moved on to something else, so I had to play the whole game in single player.
I tried matchmaking multiplayer, but that was worse than single player since all my allies wanted to do was speed through as fast as possible and leave me in the dust to fight off monsters that are far beyond my ability to kill.
Also, Dragon Age Origins on Xbox 360.
Not that I didn't enjoy it, I just wished I'd waited until I got a decent PC so I could run mods with it and play it like a tactical-rpg, and not have to play it like a action-rpg with slow combat.

I know I've been beaten to almost all of these, but hey:
Grand Theft Auto IV - They took out so many of the things I loved from San Andreas, and I couldn't stand the story or characters. Thank God I bought the Collector's Edition.
Modern Warfare 2 - I played multiplayer for a week or two before realizing that I was having absolutely no fun at all. Thank God I bought the Prestige Edition for a hundred billion dollars... ~_~
Final Fantasy XIII - Jesus Christ, thank you, Square, for giving me almost no control over any part of the game. I can't even choose my goddamn party members, or where we go, or ANYTHING? UGH.
King of Fighters XII - There's not even a story. Not even a cheesey KoF story...just a time attack mode. WHY?
Borderlands - The RPG part of the game just doesn't mix with the shooter part well enough for me. If I'm shooting someone in the head, I shouldn't be taking off only a sliver of health because my gun's stats are lower than the bad guy's level. It's still a bullet entering flesh. Anyway, I get the concept, it just doesn't work for me. Thank God I bought all the DLC when it was on sale...
Lost Planet - It looked so cool...how could blowing up huge bugs be bad?! Earth Defense Force 2017 was amazing, but Lost Planet's clunky controls just killed it for me.
Trauma Center: Under The Knife - Those last patients...my God. I have never been so close to snapping my DS in half. THANK YOU ATLUS.

Fallen Earth (that game sucked)
APB.. 2 months to shutdown x.x

This was quite awhile ago, back before this generation of consoles. This time I guess I would call The Lord of the Rings years. My latest gaming devices were my gameboy advanced and my gamecube. I was big into Lord of the Rings games, video and board games(if your remember board games of it, Monopoly, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, etc. I bet they would have made a form of battleship if they had found a way to do it.) Back to my point, I had the two hack and slashers that were The Two Towers and The Return of the King for the gamecube, and the gameboy advanced version of The Two Towers, which was and Rpg-esk hack an slasher. Well I liked those games especially the advanced one, but then I went and bought the gameboy advaced game of Fellowship of the Ring.
I wish I hadn't lost the receipt, because that game was so glitchy that things that I was told by the game to go get, weren't there. Characters would just randomly disappear and reappear on the screen. And there was one mission, really early on in the game that I had to beat or I couldn't continue with the game, that every time I went into the area I need to go for it, the game would just restart and go back to the start screen. I would say that is the worst money have spent in games, that and F-Zero GX for the gamecube. I couldn't even get past the training simulator time trial on that. You can't continue onto the next part of the game until you beat the training on easy and hard. I couldn't beat hard because you pretty much have to have the reflexes of a ninja or God, maybe even a Ninja God.

I know I'll probably get a lot of flak for this, but my choice would be Oblivion. Not because it's a bad game, but because I decided to try it AFTER playing Fallout 3, and realized what a downgrade it was. I'm sure if I had played Oblivion first I would've enjoyed it fine. I was just too used to Fallout 3 by then.
