World of Warcraft (no joke). I don't understand the hype... I played 'till I was level 10 an I hated the game by then. I didn't find the game addicting in the slightest!
Most Boring Game You've Ever Played

- Start date
try to slog through it i personally refuse to play more then an hour at a time cause if you spend longer then that the constant walking from place to place will drive you mad. that being said DATorchofThanatos said:
rigins is probably the most boring game ive played.(funnily enough i thought DA2 was allot less so because you werent walking so much, go figure
Mary kate and ashley:mystery mall . I am a man , but at the time i was 13 , bored , curious and my sister had the game for ps1 , inplayed it , finished it , most boring 3 houra of my life . Also more recent , sakura wars:so long my love . It was terrible played it like a month ago , if i could go back in time i'd stop myself from buying that . It was soooo fuckig boring , but i finished it.
What the fuck is wrong with the guys who designed this? Were they fucking brain dammaged to think this is a good idea?ccggenius12 said:
I badly hope this was a joke, and if not, I'm going to Mars.
I downloaded the special edition of monkey island. Mainly because so many people loved it back in the day of dos games, and because I was also a big fan of point and click games like kings quest. I couldn't get passed the first part in the town. Just found it too boring. I guess I will never be able to relive the old glory days of the DOS games.
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom.
Only game I played, that I can remember on the spot, that boredom was the main reason I stopped playing. Every other game I quit has some other kind of flaw that I couldn't handle, but that one was just...boring as all hell. It was the first hour when I tried rationalizing playing it and I couldn't come up with a reason besides, "Maybe it's better with a higher level", two hours later.
It wasn't.

Oblivion
...
What? Stop looking at me like that.
I gave the game an honest shot, but it just wasn't for me. The game seems to focus more on exploration than on an actual story. I did some stuff, met Patrick Stewart, walked for a while, went to a city... did more stuff... got called criminal scum and killed by a guard because I took a wooden cup from a house. Did some more walking, joined a guild, went to a town... fell asleep in real life.

I don't know if I could call it the "most boring", but near to the top of the list for me is Shadow of the Colossus. Now, I love the idea of the game, and I don't want anyone to take my inclusion of it here as me saying it is bad. It isn't, it is good. It just requires patience, at least at the beginning. After you've made you first kill you're sent off to slay another, all the while without much hint as to where exactly you're supposed to go. The map is huge and you have access to a lot of it, which I feel to be part of the problem, actually it is probably my biggest hurdle with the game. Perhaps my familiarity with the Zelda series was my downfall here, as in those games you are blocked off from places you can't go until you're supposed to go there. There's a block you need to bomb, or you need the grapple hook.
SotC doesn't really have that, instead you are mostly left to wander which, again I like the idea of, but in action it slows things down. Well, this coupled with the technical limitations that are trying a bit too hard to render a big world. (I assume this is better on the new HD remix, but I'm going off the PS2 version I have sitting on my shelf.) I also don't like using guides on games I haven't beaten and I'm the only one of my close circle of friends who has even played the game. Essentially, I'm (of my own will) alone in a big world that I really, really want to explore and like but can't attain the free time needed to get hooked. It is far from bad, and has a great idea, but to fit the topic at hand- it is boring.
---In addition---
The above is an example of a good game that is tough to get into therefore boring. I don't intend to go into the list of games that are boring because they are bad and therefore entirely not fun to play. As well, I tend to find First person shooters (at lease online focused ones), as well as realistic racers boring simply because they are not my genre. In both of those I'd rather play a "futuristic" version of them than the normal. (example: when it comes to racing I'll take F-Zero or a Kart racer over real cars on real tracks)

When there's nothing you're trying to do, Minecraft instantly becomes the most boring game on earth. Now, when you decide "Hey, I want to build a volcano fortress!" then the game gets very fun, but with nothing in mind..... URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
That's the biggest problem with Amnesia. It starts off with nothing happening so it seems more surprising when the first monster does show up, but many people lose their patience within that time period.Xman490 said:
I'm gonna get some flak for this, but Final Fantasy VI & VII. It's not the grinding that was really boring top me, it was the combat, the overworld, the stories, all just bored me to tears. Which is odd because I can play pokemon for hours without putting the game down
This. There's a period at the start of each game where you just try to amass resources and avoid being killed, then once you're set up with a decent house and some diamonds it quickly gets boring.Dfskelleton said:
Until, of course, you start a building project. Creating an island fortress with all the crap I had lying around in chests was the most fun I've had in a game in weeks.
Gonna have to go with Two Worlds on that one. I couldn't even get past 10minutes of that pig-slop.
*dons asbestos suit*
Oblivion.
Haha, just kidding...
*keeps the suit on*
...but I really did get pretty bored with it. It wasn't the worst though. That prize belongs to Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_of_Radiance:_Ruins_of_Myth_Drannor] Seriously, wtf.

Metal Gear Solid 4. Got to that part where that one guy with the monkey spends like 20 minutes explaining to you some upgrading system or something (I was too bloody zoned out by that point to know what exactly it was) which any other game could explain in 5 seconds. At that point I just went "No, screw this, I'm done."
Haven't picked it up again since despite people telling me to give it another go.
