Games in general whose first priority isn't to be entertaining to play in general can go die in a fire, but this one's one of the most obnoxious; it's often committed by people who grew up when video games were about being fun, and should know better. It's baffling how many of them try to be art projects and novels you have to press A to turn the page through.Rawne1980 said:

I'd probably give that award to Civ-like games including Civ game themselves. They're slow, terribly slow, and I really don't get much satisfaction out of things coming together in the end because I just get bored by then. I'd rather prefer 4x games like Sins where things are still happening all the time while my plan comes together, and on a much grander scale. I even tried Endless Space, but I still didn't like it for the same reason. There's just a lesser sense of urgency when a game is turn-based like that, even when you know you're screwed.
Among other things though, most indie games just seem like I'm paying for upgraded flash games, and they're rather hit or miss.
And finally, dungeon crawlers like Diablo. No other type of game makes me feel like I'm doing a chore (this kinda applies to MMORPG's too because they're similar in nature). I just really don't want to waste time on games like these. I'd imagine the reason why people like them so much is because they have nothing better to do. I played my share, but I've moved on a long time ago.

A lot of MMOs are boring but Perfect World had me bored within 30 minutes.
I tried to play Runscape again and holy hell, how did I play this as a kid. It soo boring, I didn't have many games to play but still I might as well have just stared at a wall,
Currently playing Darksiders and its pretty boring right now. Maybe it will get better after I purchase some more skill because right now combat is hit X and dash occasionally. All the semi boss monsters fight in same way too and there haven?t been any real puzzles. It doesn't help that don't like the aesthetics either.
Of course these probably arn't the most boring games I've EVER played. If they really boring and stopped playing early I probably don't even remember them.

Pretensious, 8-bit bullshit-o-vision art games like Passage or... Fuck it, JUST Passage! That's not a game, it's not even art, it's about as interesting as my wheat-a-bix after they've been lying in the milk for 3 minutes and have gone all squidgy and horrible...
Endless Space.
My god, it doesn't really teach you how to play unless you want to have a tutorial pop up and make you read it for 5 mins, I found it an awful way to teach a tbs and couldn't get more then an hour into the game due to it. It bored me so much I didn't want to learn it.

Dead Space
Left 4 Dead
Far Cry 2
GTA IV's original story... I liked EFLC better than Niko's boring ass and his idiot cousin.

Unpopular one but Portal gameplay bored the pants off me which is a shame. I can recognise it's a great game, with a great original setting with hilarious characters (GLADOS kept me playing) but puzzle games really bore me. Next comes Fables 2 and 3. Ohhhhhh my gawwwwd was I bored. It failed to capture my attention. I hate the game-play, and being constantly killed by the West Country Crew
Some of those turn out to be my favorite games ever. Like The Walking Dead and Virtue's Last Reward this year.ReinWeisserRitter said:
OT: Skyrim. That game was just so sterile and repetitive, it bored me to fucking tears.
World of Warcraft.
WOW, like in WOW I can't believe how lame this game is...
or WOW, like in WOW I can't understand why people like this game, when all you do is grind without pay.
I remember I was in this one group of six trying to fulfill some drop quest for everyone in the group. The mob had some 20% drop rate and we would go around this lake or something finding these mobs and killing them until everyone could get their drops. thing was because of the low drop rate we had to kill literally hundreds of these things before everyone could get their 10 bear hankies or whatever the hell they were. So we kept going round and round this lake looking for these mobs, and basically by the time we went around the lake, the old mobs we killed before would respawn to give us fresh tries at random failure. It took what seemed forever, and I seriously felt that I was in one of those time loops where you repeat the same thing over and over until you get it right.
The next day I cancelled my subscription.

I dont know if its the MOST boring game I've played, but New Vegas certainly comes close.
-ohh look a coyote den
-ohh look another coyote den
-ohh look ANOTHER coyote den
-ohh look a boring city without any real distinguishable features
-ohh look ANOTHER boring city without any real distinguishable features
The Mojave wasteland was a constant stream of dull, uninteresting, and uninspired locations, that put me to sleep quickly.
Which is sad because Fallout 3 had such fun locations, like the Dunwich building, and the vault that got you high on drugs, and the gary clone vault, and its cities were visibly different from each other.

Well I remember playing Superman 64 over a friends house when I was young. Good lord that game...
But as for games that are more recent and I own. I would have to say Total War Shogun 2. I only managed to get past one battle before I uninstalled it.
Other games that come to mind would be the first Witcher game, and this is probably isn't a popular opinion but I got Incredibly bored of Torchlight a couple hours in.
I'm still interested but hesitant about Torchlight 2. The first one bored me because none of the loot seemed interesting or unique, and all the enemies, and dungeon levels all seemed to be pretty similar and boring to me. Tell me does Torchlight 2 change up or vary much at all from the first? Or is it just a bigger coop Torchlight?(The coop might be a big enough change for me though. Now that I think about it)
