Games you thought you'd love but you turned out hating them.

Call of Duty:MW2. Everyone kept telling me this game would be awesome, that it would have an awesome single-player and great story, that the muiltiplayer would be amazing, and that the spec-ops would be the cherry on top. I ended up breaking the disc in my fit of[HEADING=3]NERD RAGE!!![/HEADING]

Too Human and Two Worlds.

Spore once I finished it and realised all that promised depth was just a lie

 

[Wintermoot]

some kind ofboring hospital game I was hoping it was something like TCUK but it was just boring I later found out it was one of the worst games on the DS

Oblivion. Fallout 3. Dragone Age. Half Life 2.

That's amazing, I completely agree. I didn't find any of these games impressive and Oblivion and Fallout 3 were really repetitive and boring. I didn't find any of the characters memorable or interesting to talk to and the combat was shallow. My favourite part about Fallout 3 was the landscape. Nothing about Oblivion. Dragon Age had fantastic dialogue but the combat was weak. Half Life 2 was nothing to the first and the marine and security expansions. Yet all of these are hailed as some of the greatest games of all time. In the spirit of that, I have to say GTA4 wasn't great.

I might be one of the only people who did not enjoy GTA4. Dialogue was fantastic, everything else did nothing for me.

People will call me a troll, but I don't believe anyone who says they hated MW2. No one.

Bad company's 2 singleplayer.The Mutliplayer is great but the story ripped off MW2's story so much.

I can't detest my hatred of Gears of War 2 with words, Soooo....

Hate is a very strong word. I have been disappointed slightly by some games, but I don't believe I have ever ended up hating one that I had high hopes for.

Perhaps I'm good a rationalising my purchases. Or perhaps I'm an easily-pleased imbecile.

Twillight Princess...and Neverwinter nights 2 i loved/played the first one to death so my expectations were to high. i still liked it but i never finished it cause the potential it had wasted was to sad

White Knight Chronicles.
I don't know why I was so interested in this game to begin with. Maybe it was simply the fact that it was a new JRPG (developed by Level 5, no less) exclusive to the PS3, a system which I didn't own at the time. I thought, "If I had a PS3, I'd get that game for sure."
So I got it.
Every aspect of the game is so poorly implemented it really astounds me. It's not specifically terrible at any one thing, but it's bad enough at everything (story, characters, voice acting, combat) that there was no way I could compel myself to finish it.

Well, either that or Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Five words: TEMPLE OF THE OCEAN KING. The surefire quickest way to make me lose interest in a game is to make it time based. And I know the whole game isn't like that, but the whole damn game just feels like backtracking to that stupid temple and playing through it ad nauseum.

Oblivion deserves special mention in that I really don't like it, but it's less the fault of the game sucking and more just me not getting into it. I've tried replaying the beginning four times and each time I've never gotten far. I wish I liked it, but I just don't.

ff13 the whole 40 hours i spent on it was thinking i'd rather be playing resonance of fate

Silent Hill 2

The idea seemed interesting, but the whole "horror" thing just doesn't get to me. After stumbling about some streets for a few hours and trying to find something, I've got bored and quit. Regenerating monsters who just kept coming and failing to do anything and all that.

At least some of the scenery was amusing, with all the abandoned (duh) buildings and hilarious bloody rabbit dolls everywhere.

I suppose it's not really the game's fault, I just don't like that type of gameplay. The apparent considerable freedom to stumble around in the darkness wears off quickly because you can't really do any thing aside from stumbling in the darkness and trying to advance the plot.

Also, guild wars. The whole thing with almost endless builds and class combinations wears thin after you realize that generally only a handful of them are being used and quite a few are numerically superior so the "better" you become at the game the more generic you're going to become. The setting was pretty ugly, and no jumping seriously hampered the game for me. Although I'll definitely say that what they've done with their skill and multiclass options greatly exceeds pretty much any competitor.

So it's mostly the controls and the aesthetic for me. Seriously, a fully instanced MMO is just not right. It's an MMO for a reason, you're supposed to square off annoying noobs in the field doing generic fetch quests. Add free for all gameplay and some real rewards and penalties to deaths, and you've got a good game going. NPC teammates are a no-no.

Quest 64 I played it once when I was a kid. Just a few months back I saw it on sale for five bucks and figured: "ehh, why not." Quest 64 turned out to be pathetically simplistic; it's an RPG without money.

I suppose the only reason I thought that I would like it is because of my nostalgia for it.

 

[theimpsarecoming]

Splinter Cell: Conviction, i just got bored after playing for an hour. And Bioshock 2 just disappointed me

 

[ApolloSoldier]

Mass Effect 2 was a bit disappointing. Still an awesome game which I liked, but there were so many things that just didn't click.
Modern Warfare 2 just makes me angry. I enjoy it sometimes but I usually can't play it for more than an hour not that you need more than an hour to beat it.
APB is my all time most hated game now. What a waste of time and money. I was full of hope for it and the concept was awesome and everything looked good. Then I played it. Guess that was my mistake.
Oh, and I wasn't actually expecting it to be any good, but C&C 4 made me nerd rage in the first five minutes during the opening cinematic and then again during the first mission. Thanks EA.

There are many games I dislike but there is actually one game I despise. Even seeing the box art makes me want to rip the fucking thing apart and then kill it with fire! That hunk of shit is SSB Brawl, a game that I was hyped up for almost 3 fucking years! It was meant to be one of the greatest games ever but instead it had a shit load of annoying flaws and tedious game play kinda like turned based combat, the complete opposite of the legendary Melee.

Also, I don't hate Stacraft 2 but I find it very disappointing. Almost 75% is exactly the same as the original and these so called impressive cinematics that so many critics have mentioned are painfully cliche' and uninspiring. Also B.nets restrictions are a kick in the ass.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Mass Effect, it was just so damn empty.

 

[Enduwolf]

Empire Earth 3. Loved the first two... gave this one a couple of days and then threw it in the bin.

 

[Locko96]

I still cannot get into Oblivion. Can't really make it past a 2 hour point.

Amen/Hell yeah! I love Fallout 3. It was just a really fun game. Oblivion on the other hand....story is decent I guess but the people talking with there fixed position and almost creepy "uncanny-valley-esque" faces along with fighting...argh...

GTA4 was another huge disappointment for me. I love the characters and messing around can be fun but they made the entire game too realistic and gritty.
