I should really enjoy the witcher 2 because it's a deep RPG with lovely graphics and a complex, branching storyline, just the kind of game I like. But for some reason, I can't get into it. I think it's the unintuitive gameplay mechanics.
Games you should really enjoy, but don't.

Maybe I should try it then... I was afraid after my disastrous attempts with Oblivion it would only end the same.....putowtin said:

Decisions, decisions. Have they fixed the bland character thing yet?
Red Dead Redemption. I'm usually a fan of rockstar's open-world games but it is just so, so boring and frustrating to play.
yeah i know. i was supposed to like these games , i was supposed to have fun with these games but i couldnt because they are not fun. i expected them to be fun. not saying these are bad games. just not as fun as i had thought before i started playingLegion said:
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. I like space strategy games, it looks awesome, it's based on fun small scale engagements instead of Zerg rushes, it got great reviews...
And it becomes a hideous slog of a game once you leave the solar system and start using and fighting ships with shields. Now you get to shoot every ship for 2 minutes so their shields drop, giving you a shot at the ship for about 10 seconds. Rince, repeat.

I concur. While the cinematic mod really livens up the drab visuals, the gameplay and pacing just drags it down. Interestingly enough the gameplay videos that predate the game's launch all show a much more interesting experience including vastly superior A.I. that is not gifted with an instantaneous reaction time.King Billi said:
Pretty much every Valve game except for Portal. I can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason they seem really cold and clinical, I'm not sure why. I just enjoyed Portal's puzzles so it didn't bother me so much, but it's quite annoying really. I'd love to enjoy them, they're supposedly awesome.
For as much as I praise Guild Wars 2 for being the best MMO available at the moment, I really don't play it that much...
I can't think of anything WRONG with it per-se, I just never really think to myself "I'm gonna go play Guild Wars!".

I fucking love strategy RPG's but...
I fucking HATE final fantasy tactics
the story i find bland and the combat system irritates me no end.
HOWEVER
I fucking love i mean love all of the Nippon Itchi SRPGS such as
Disgaea (all of them)
Phantom Brave
La Pucelle Tactics
Makai Kingdoms (i fucking love the story in this one)
I played these games to death, but final fantasy tactics? i can't stand but people tell me i should love it as i like final fantasy (well 7-10)

I recently got back to playing and continuing Dead Island but was quick to realise the reasons as to why I played other games for a while but still enjoy some aspects of the game:
Cons:
The requirement of money to repair,upgrade and craft weapons
Getting punished for upgrading weapons by having a high repair cost and little durability
Having the walkers scaled to your level everywhere
Guns not really having much to any effect
Pros:
Nice beautiful scenery to look at throughout the game
Realistic feel to the chaos around me (City of Moresby and Jungle being my highlights)
That feel when I swing my weapons to break and smash zombie faces
some characters actually turning into walkers
safe places getting overrun with walkers
All in all the game is good but the money part duct taped to durability really kills the game for me sometimes along with a horrible cruel instant spawning of walkers after having killed dozens.

For me:
Orcs Must Die! 2: Fighting off endless hoards of monsters with varying weapons sounded and traps sounded cool like it was going to be like Dynasty Warriors but with a twist, but adding RTS(something I'm not really into) and kicking the difficulty up when a player just starting making me wonder I should just uninstall and return it.
Modern Warfare 2/Battlefield 3: I like shooters like the other guy but the campaign was short, enemies can drop you faster than you can to them and the feeling the game must be played online more than single player or couch multiplayer (I'm looking dead at you Battlefield 3) both of those games are just collecting dust until maybe I get internet in my place....
White Knight Chronicles: I saw this RPG as the anti-FF13 and i was but the combat system was innovative yet flawed, monsters can still land hits on you even if you are running, story and characters seem generic and bland and your created avatar plays the tag-along mute through out the entire game and also the game is not that long you could beat it in 30-40 tops.....haven't picked it up since to do another run nor play the sequel.

I never thought of that especially most of the weapons weren't that great even the RYNO V seem like a downgrade of the previous one and the game said it's the gun that "May end all life as we know it" nor was there as many of them compared to Tools of Destruction where I think there was 20 and each one had their flaws but the game made you want to use them more to see if the fully-upgraded one was worth the grind. and the last of lombaxes plot could've stayed but at the same time maybe it couldn't.Casual Shinji said:
Gravity Rush, I like platformers and the use of gravity in the platforming was really fun but, I just got turned off by the combat, it was frustrating to move the camera all over the place.
Metro 2033- I really wanted to like this game. the story and environment is amazing but i found the gameplay to be tedious. Every time i played this game, i was wanting to play something else, anything else would be better.
Disgaea 3- at first i was really enjoying the game but the endless, obsessive grinding nature of the game wrecked my enjoyment. excessive grinding also killed my enjoyment of the later dragon quest games as well.

Dragon's Dogma. The Pawn system sounded like an innovative idea and I liked that the character I made was the closest in all aspects to how I actually look. But there were SO MANY design oversights that the game is far too frustrating.
Assassin's Creed (past the first one): Really the story is what turned me off with the pieces of Eden and Alien beings. Had it just been your an assassin from different time periods I probably would have liked it more.
These I don't like but can't really put my finger on why:
Crysis (1&2)
Elder Scrolls games
Bioshock
Final Fantasy

Metro 2033 - Beautiful game that is completely on rails, and peppered with agonizingly stupid design decisions like checkpoint saving and horrible stealth implementation. I suspect there's a good game buried under a metric ton of crap, but I'll be assed if I can bother digging it out with so much else to play.
KOTOR - Oddly beloved sci-fi RPG that displays the worst of Bioware's excesses (hilariously binary morality, horrible clunky combat, overly broad and/or annoying characters) peppered with some truly lamentable cases of plot armor and irritating, endlessly looping alien dialogue.

Darksiders 2 - I enjoyed the first one and the second seemed to improve on the first in a lot of ways such as making the game bigger,adding more sidequests and optional dungeons,adding loot drops and upgradable items etc.Yet I found myself getting bored with it after about 10 hours and I haven't played it since
I started playing Kotor again recently and good god I'd forgotten how bad the combat is.There was one point where me and a bad guy were standing like 5 feet apart shooting at each other and completely missing so a fight which should have lasted 20 secs went on for about 5 mins.It reminded me of this scene from The Naked GunBloatedGuppy said:
