Red Dead Redemption, sadly. It had everything it needed to be a great game to me, but I just wasn't enjoying it.
Oh, and the Total War series. I know people who have become obsessed with them, and will show me their efforts and conquering the world. I couldn't give less of a shit. It just looks way to boring to even be labelled as a 'game'.

90% of Final Fantasy XIII.
Some of the boss fights were good and made good use of the battle system, I generally had fun running around and exploring the open-world section and taking on monster hunting sidequests, and there were some moments where I found myself getting at least a little interested in the story...
...but the vast majority of the experience was running down a linear corridor, fighting repetitive and disengaging battles, wondering when the plot was going to develop in an interesting and sensible direction.
No game has left more bored and disappointed, especially when you consider that I sunk 50+ hours into the game only to get an ending with no payoff.
It was only after the fact that I was told that I could get really into the story and make sense of the ending if I read the Datalog entries. So that's where all the fun in that game was? Reading on-screen text that explained the story rather than having the game story in those glossy cutscenes presented in a way that made sense?

Modern Warfare.
The story is a bad joke, the gameplay is repetitive and boring to begin with, the characters are totally unlikable and I generally wish I had my eighty bucks back.
I'll never play another modern war game because they all look like the same shit.

definitely the most boring game i have ever played is dead space. i could barely get 20 minutes into it. i tried four times, and two of those times i fell asleep with the controller in my hand. that game is terrible... unless you suffer from insomnia.
lol i played origins first so i didnt have that problem but yeah take your time theres no time limit and the game takes 60+ hours to do right yeah its boring at points but its fun as hell once you get past 2 things the fade and the fucking deep roads.TorchofThanatos said:I also made the mistake of playing DA2 first. Trying to go back and play DAO is really hard! I have played all the origins but i still need to finish the game at least once. I am running around in the Deep Roads right now and I want to kill myself!ecoho said: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
Oblivion.
I played it for one quest, got an achievement, then turned it off. Years later I came back to it because I'm a completionist and I wanted 100% achievements for it. I then entered the most boring playthrough of my life (and I have 1000 GS in Fairytale Fights mind you...that wins second) and several times I found myself watching netflix on my laptop while just grinding out the bs plot...
It was then that I felt what every WoW player must experience on a daily basis...
ZING!
Srsly though. Oblivion wins this for me.

Wow, so many people in this thread who clearly has never played a really utterly soul crushingly boring game. At least the CoD/Just Cause games have some action and something happens in those games. At least you don't have really long and extremely boring cutscenes that say bugger all.
Avatar: The Game and Too Human are without a single shred of doubt the most boring games I've ever played. I could not make it for more than an hour into each game.

Infamous bored me senseless. It was not a bad game, but after a while it felt like a chore to play, the story and characters were very poor and the main pull of the game seemed to be just messing about aimlessly.
I did get it for free though with the PSN thing so I shouldn't complain too much. I got it along side wipeout which I also found a chore to play (as I'm so so bad at racing games) but at least that had the bonus of a killer soundtrack and flashy visuals.

This is the first game that springs to mind:
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. It was supossed to be a self aware third person shooter designed to parody popular video games. What it really was, was BORING AS HELL. Never before have I played a game that made me physically want to put the controller down and stop more than anything else. I forced myself to finish it JUST to see if it got better or to see if there were any good jokes. It didn't and there really wasn't.
Also on my list would be LOTR: Conquest. How could you successfully make LOTR BORING? Even the movie tie-in games were better!

Too Human. It's. Just. Horrible. Basically everything Yahtzee says about that... game, is true and yet it's even more terrible than what he says.
Gonna have to go with the same one I put up as one of my worst games ever played; Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom.
Apart from the extremely dull combat, it was mainly about backtracking and doing simular stuff all the time. I'm sure I'd like the game a bit more if they didn't make the Majin a retard(bad choice of description, but if you've played the game you would feel the same way) and made the story a bit more compelling. The game did have a pretty good story, but I just wasn't able to... care.
Overall I couldn't play for more than an hour at a time before having to take a few days break from the game.

Indigo Prophecy (AKA Fahrenheit). You basically just strut around, interact with stuff in the vicinity, and do the occasional QTE. The story is really the only thing I played through the game for. And since I managed to get the best ending on my first try, I'm pleased to say I've got no reason to play through it yet again.
Ninety-Nine Nights
BOOOORING!!!!!!
turned the damn thing off and watched the watching-paint-dry channel waaaay more interesting.
