Most boring game you've ever played.

That really popular triple A game that everybody else likes. I find that one really really boring for reasons that I won't bother to go into.
OT: The one that comes to mind most easily is Splosion Man. I bought it cheap as it was on sale for a ridiculously low price, but even then I haven't got anywhere on it because I just do not find it entertaining.

Darksiders, good lord, that was so incredibly boring.
There was little meaningful character customisation.
Combat was incredibly shallow.
Everything felt like it was ripped from Warcraft and Diablo. Even War's voice. (Yes, same voice actor, I know)
Special mentions to Star Wars Force Unleashed 2, Dragon Age and Bioshock.

Yeah the combat was really repetitive I especially hated how you could be hit while doing the death blows which while realistic made it so you didnt do it since you could end up taking more damage that the health you'd get back from the finisher. I especially hate how they give you the jump pack and the combat starts getting interesting again and then that immediately take it away.Eddie the head said:
OT: EU 3 the earlier games in the series gave you the feeling of fighting against history while this game began the make every game a historical sandbox where historical stuff might happen but probably wont.
I know I'll probably catch a lot of flak for this, but Borderlands is certainly the most boring game I've played recently.
Competent but uninteresting shooting mechanics, and I spent most of the time picking up mountains of money and loot, 95% of which would be sold off the instant I found a merchant. I know that's par for the course in RPGs, but at least in most RPGs I play there are characters and story I give a damn about, which Borderlands could scarcely be more lacking in. Trying to work through the various menus and find what was worth keeping and what wasn't was a nightmare; the UI isn't exactly what I would call helpful. I really like the cel-shading art style, but I can't fathom why they decided to use it to make every environment the same brown desert.

Conversely, I LOVE slow, ponderous strategy games.Devoneaux said:Sins of a Solar Empire is to RTS as EVE Online is to MMO's. I definately can understand why you didn't take to it.SomeLameStuff said:
Although I find it strange that you'd not be engaged by that and then be engaged by Endless Space, but then again I haven't played Sins (and Endless Space is hella engaging either way)
It's not the most boring game I've ever played but it's the one I had the highest expectation for only to not get into it.
Deus Ex Human Revolution
I just cant get into it maybe it's because I have to be perfect in my stealth and that makes me reload the game over and over in the same section I've also been told by someone who had completed it to start again because I missed out some of the early side quests that I could not be bothered doing. I've heard it's a really good game but I can't get myself to play it.
But the game I found the most boring.
Battlefield 3
[b/]The multiplayer [/b]
bad because I am bad at it and the good players have the advantage of the more powerful guns, every time I want to play it with a friend I have to do a 5gb update for the game. Witch takes me the whole day it's the only game my friends talk about and I don't see what is so fun about repeatedly getting killed at a spawn by a sniper. The vocal community is also awful spamming you tube videos of completely unrelated games with the same comment: "This game (sucks/is stupid/requires no skill/is for idiots) BF3 is so much better"

I haven't gotten past the first level because it is so linear I have to constantly follow orders given to me If I deviate from the task I am killed in friendly fire The levels look so nice and big but I can only go in a small section of them and wait for my team to follow me. I once got past the first level but since I had no internet on my PS3 I had to start the campaign over again I get to the part in the first level where you have to defuse the bomb and I just give up because it's not fun to be ordered around like in a game of Military Simon says I want to do my own thing I get ordered around in real life far too much why would I want an angry man shouting at me to "Bravo the tango frosty" (or some shit). when I play a game I expect to be able to have fun and not have to constantly follow the orders in a "realistic war simulation". If I wanted to go and experience a war I would join the army I don't want some twat ordering me about when I want to relax.

Morrowind or Deus Ex Human Revolution.
I got given both by a friend and every now and then I decide "you know what I'll try them again." I play for about half an hour and then I remember why I stopped playing.

Interesting choice. I disagree, but I can understand that it's not for everyone, though I do not understand how you could not find "One" good thing. Maybe we just think of the word differently, or maybe you just didn't want to find good things about it. Aside from repetition, I couldn't find one bad thing about it. Sound design and graphics were adequate, not great, but very tolerable.aguspal said:
The world and lore was very interesting, it tackled a lot of interesting subjects. I liked the characters, the dialog, the writing. I enjoyed the gameplay, even when the repetition started being apparent in The Fade and Deep Roads. I thought the RPG elements very well made and I think the choice system was great, stepping away from Good/Bad and more towards what you want the characters to think you as.
But yeah, each to their own, I guess.
OT:
While I love Sim City, Societies took away all the challenge, which ruined the fun, which made it dull.
Other than that, none really. I have a high resistance towards slow gameplay, and can manage most strategy and RPG games very well, so boredom is rarely a problem.
Nah, just try playing JC1 again, it's way more boring. At least in JC2 blowing stuff up contributes to your stats and a palpable sign of progress- 1 doesn't even have that.Baldry said:
Bizarrely enough though, my most missed feature from JC1 is the ability to hop into the passenger seat of any regular car and be driven around the country by the AI.
League of Legends. It was just...So boring, didn't understand one bit of it and the champions are crap.
Minecraft, but only when not playing in distant, separated intervals.
Aside from getting to the Ender and slaying the Ender Dragon, there's not much of a goal in Minecraft other than mining and...crafting. The exploration's good, and by god did I have fun running from mobs in the middle of the night. It's far from a bad game, but when I play too long I realize that everything I'm doing is pretty pointless.
Then again, you can say that for all video games in general.

Gears of War 2. I enter a room and take cover. Locust enter the room and take cover. We shoot at each other until they're dead. I enter the next room and take cover. Locust enter the room and take cover. I shoot them. I enter another room and take cover. Locust enter the room and take cover. We shoot at each other. I think I got maybe 2 hours into it and then gave up and returned it.
I guess the first Witcher game takes that award, I try to finish every game I buy but after getting to chapter 4 I just couldn't gather the willpower to play it more and barely remember anything about the plot.
However, what I do remember is how the game was set out to have none of the typical good or evil choices a lot of games instead just have choice and consequence which I thought was cool then I started playing and one of the first choices I was given after the prologue was if whether or not I wanted to save a waitress I met 1 minute earlier from being gang-raped

Portal 2. Yeah it was funny, but my God it was boring to play. Do puzzle, exit room, enter new room, do similar puzzle, exit room, enter room, do similar puzzle, exit room...and on and on it goes. I gave up about halfway through through sheer boredom.
Final Fantasy XIII. Two words, people: The Hallway. If you've played FFXIII (and you shouldn't!), you know one fact; you cannot escape The Hallway.
