Fallout 3. I can stand the jarring openness of the game, but I really hate the gameplay. It seems like there's so much stats for everything, just for the sake of having those stats. It doesn't help that everywhere I look there is so much gray and brown. It just feels really unpolished and boring.

I hate JRPG's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Really, I have never enjoyed them, especially Final Fantasy. I really don't get it. It's probably because I don't really like anime either.
I don't like Left 4 Dead. Zombies? Boring and overdone. Multiplayer? I'd rather not. First person? I'm not into nausea. Multiplayer, zombies, first-person, and no real narrative?
Any online FPS. For the life of me I cannot figure out why people play them. They're boring, they're repetitive as hell, they're frustrating, they're about as simple as you can get story wise, and the people who have mastered them are utter dicks nine times out of ten.
Half-Life: Not that I find it bad, just not "Z0mg best gameh EVAH!!!!"
Call of Duty after WaW, Played MW2 for a few months just to play with friends and found out I reaallly hate it. Black Ops is no better.
Mass Effect: Visiting planets and generally ignoring most of my crew while fighting with same-y weapons against same-y enemies. I played for close to 8 hours without having fun only to find out that apparently the endgame is what makes it good. Endgame =\= 50= hours of boredom. The sequel also made it too, shooterish for my liking.
About mass effect. The reason you play mass effect is really not the gameplay, it's pretty much a standard cover based third person shooter, but what makes it special is the great story with some really great dialog and some of the best moral choices I have ever seen in a game.
I really hope that this is the future of gaming. More story instead of boring and generic shooters with patriotic americans and terrorists.
I had the same problem the first time I played bioshock, but I went back to it and completed it and loved it. You have to give it a chance for the story to unfold.
Final Fantasy Games. Or most JRPG's for that matter. Also, any game with turn based combat (aside from pokemon, but it turns out, I can't get into those anymore either). So yea, I know people who have played through them and absolutely idolize the characters... then I say, that girl has an extremely large sword. Then I get excluded from the conversation.
Note: thats not just me baiting them, I honestly don't know most of the characters. I played a demo once that put me off it forever.
Most Valve games. The only ones that I've liked were Left 4 Dead (Two. I've never played the first) and Portal (can't wait for Portal 2). Personally, I'd rather stick to my RPGs and Black Ops/Gears (couch multiplayer goodness)
Rome total war, a lot of people seem to rate it as the best in the series ut to my mind its the weakest (medieval 1 all the way)
I'm going to agree on Half life 2, I did make a point of playing all the way through it and I normally really like more tatical stroy driven fps (dues ex is on of my all time favorite games) but I just felt that the shooting wasn't very good in itself and the story seemed to assume a lot more background knowledge than I had (never played or even looked at the orginals) so made bugger all sense.
Also Dragon Age, dear god the stroy was generic as hell, the skill trees/weapons wlacked varity/fun/much explanation and the combat was dull.
Cod, Halo, Mass Effect, and Just Cause 2 are just a few "great games" I personally disliked
Cod and Halo felt generic to me, Just cause 2 didn't feel all that great to me (just cause you have a grapple doesn't make it cool) and Mass effect just didn't mash with me for some reason.
The game I cannot get along with despite my best efforts is Halo, apparently I should of liked it becaue I love CoD, but no, it's just not the same for me.

Yes, I did realize it was about the story, however about 80% of the story was a giant "meh" for me. The best parts of the game was the interacting with the crew, except you run out of dialog choices after a while, leaving my personal favorite part of the game out. As for the moral choices, the seem either paper thin "save the kitten or burn the tree down" choices or stupid "Really? That makes me evil?" choices like mass effect 2
You mean we can't study the vital information on the ancient god-like beings and still be good because someone will thing I'm a douche?
And as for it being about story, not gameplay, I consider a good game to have three parts, Story, Gameplay, and Community. It's like a smoothie, you can't mix strawberries, bananas, and laxatives together and say "Well the first two are good, too bad the last one causes me to be on the toilet for a good three hours afterward. I think I'll finish it however. [footnote] Anything relating to the fact that I talked about Mass Effect and made a laxative/toilet related comparison/joke are completely coincidental and you should not be offended if you like the game and take this the wrong way.
