Most Boring Game You've Ever Played

[putowtin]

I stopped playing farcry 2 mainly because of the bloody commute between the fun bits
i'm about half-way through and i've been meaning to get back to it for a while
its just sitting on my steam list gathering dust

I don't think your the only one who feels that way, fartoomuchcommuting would have been a better (though a more difficult to say) title!

Oh wait, I'd like to add GTA 4 to my list too. Never completed that either. Not so much because it was boring, but because the controls suck, the missions have no checkpoints, and frigging Outrun had better driving mechanics.

As for advanced Lawnmower simulator... That was awesome! A choice of five lawnmowers (only one of which works) and the possibility of that rock that breaks it. Thrilling stuff.

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.

trust me I suffer from insomnia and I ain't going back to that game! I didn't fall asleep I just stared at the screen wondering why all my friends had told me it was a "great game"

haha then its settled. the only use for dead space is to poop on.

So many contenders...

Conan for the X-Box cheap enemies so you basically block all the time, roll, and use the sword. The 1st level and the final play the same.

Time Shift - You could drop any of the levels into the middle of FEAR 2 and never no the different. I think you spend the first half of the game in a sewer. It's what I call a BAG FPS (brown and gray).

Red Dead Redemption - take GTA4 and remove the cool weapons and vehicles and funny characters. Add rescuing hookers and pointless bounty missions and mini-games all leading to a bad, bad boring ending. Moving cattle is tedium in digital form.

NIER. 'nuff said.

Not really... I don't think enough people have played the game for it to be widely known. On that note, I have actually been thinking about buying the game. What exactly is wrong with it?

Allow me to elaborate; it's flawed in that it's not the greatest looking game, and the endless fetch quests are quite tedious. Besides that it's a unique game in story, characters and atmosphere. There aren't many action rpg's like it out there and I found it very worthwhile for the price I purchased it at, some 25$.

Prince of Persia for the xbox 360,
and any of the Call of Duty series.

I'm sorry, I have tried, I REALLY have, but it's just so BORING to me.

The Lost game. Jesus, sweet Jesus WHY?! I didn't even manage to play five minutes of it. I just wandered about and nothing enticed me. It was just dull and felt clunky. Any longer than five minutes ans I would probably have been reduced to a drooling mess.

Crap. I really liked the idea of the game.

Have a look at some Youtube footage or user reviews and reconsider. It still may not be for you, but it's at least worth a look. I love Nier and don't find it remotely generic. It's a game with a lot to say (under the surface) about Japanese gaming. The controls are relatively simple but work well, the plot is actually rather complicated and requires some effort to work out the details, the soundtrack and voice acting are very good, the graphics are basic but interesting, and the replay value is decent with the possibility of four different endings.

Now, Infamous was a game that bored me into deleting it from the PS3's system memory. Functional, flashy, and shallow as a bird bath.

Yeah from what I heard about it it seemed rather unique and interesting. I'll take a look at some footage and reviews.

No More Heroes.
There were a couple of interesting boss fights but the rest of it was repetitive combat, a pointlessly barren open world, and minigames based on jobs so tedious that we only give them to immigrants.

Dragon Age Origins, I started off liking it but then I lost my game and had to start over.....after that it was just boring and dead for me....

Fable 3? Gta IV? Gears of war? Bioshock? Arc System Works Fighters? Civilization? You people are pampered babies who haven't even touched the crust of boredom, let alone sunk your teeth into it's mediocre filling.

Now this guy knows what he's talking about.

Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi.

And I got that game as a Christmas present....

Come back when you've played something that isn't a triple A title.

maybe it's the expectation that surounds a triple A title, there's so much build up that you have greater expectations than say a small indie project.

Look at the build up GTA IV had, look at the games that came before it in the franchise, then we got a muddy yawn fest where inbetween looking after friends and family you got to drive around in bad handling cars! That's why alot of people complained.

Yes there are alot of boring games that wern't AAA title's but as more of us will have played the AAA games that's why they pop up more often in this thread.

The Witcher 2. THIS was the game everyone said was best????????????????. Western people baffle me.

Resistance: Fall of Man.

I liked Resistance 2 a lot and after recently playing Resistance 3 (which is now on my best games of the year list) I decided to check out Resistance 1.

Dear f***ing lord.

SO BORING! The art style resembles a patch of mud. The levels looked like someone photographed their basement and copy/pasted it into the game, occasionally throwing in a photo of their unkempt backyard. Even after 2-3 hours, I've only gotten two assault rifles (bullseye is so useless in this game I'm calling it an assault rifle) and a shotgun. WOAH! Innovative weapons, man. well, I did get the Auger that can shoot through walls, but you get 1 ammo for it every year and there's no scope for it, so f*** that.

Story was boring too. Hale never spoke, narration bored me to tears, and the ally soldiers were so bland I thought they were robots.

So far there were 1 or 2 chimera types and the occasional swarm of crawling guys. Yawn. There was actually one interesting tank level so far, but it lasted for about 5 minutes. Woohoo.

I give up. I only spent $5 on the game and I feel it was a waste; I could have bought some candy or something instead.

Gears of War 3 I was playing it on hardcore and it was the most boring thing I have played for a long long time.

There was just no deviation in the gameplay at all. The different abilities of the monsters barely made any difference. The only part that was vaguely interesting was the zombies because at least then I switched from the lancer to a shotgun...:/

 

[CrazyClown]

La noire - OMFG SO BAD. The massive map was like a lifeless attic.

Red Dead. Bad. SO bad.

Bioshock. Good story, crud enemies, boring combat.

WOW - All time favorite time waster.

They were so hyped as well.

I would only play games that have been proven to be fun and worthy of coin.
Why waste time on any less?

The witcher, got so bored of the combat/story so quickly, quit after about an hour and a half... Yawn fest.
