The game you tried to get into, but just couldn't.

I could never get into the Personae series. I know that most RPGs (especially those from Japan) are pretty slow throughout the beginning, but I just can't get into that genre very easily.
Call of Duty 4. *Pulls up Flameshield*
I borrowed it froma friend, but never really got into it.

I totally agree on Far Cry 2. The game was just unimpressive to me. It felt like the controls and in game workings were old and wonky compared to the newer flashy games like CoD Modern Warfare and Killzone 2, which strikes me as wierd, since it's a next gen game that was released around the same time.TheTygerfire said:
Another game that just never did it for me (even though it recieved LOADS of hype and killer reviews) was Metal Gear Solid 4. If I'm going to play a game, I want to PLAY the game, not watch 4 minute cut scenes after every 3 minutes of game play. Plus it was nearly impossible to do anything except run and hide the whole damn time. BORING.
Another one was Assassin's Creed. Maybe I'm just not inclined to like games where I have to sneak around as a frail pu$$y who will die with one hit until I reach my goal. Those games (like the afore mentioned MGS series and Assassin's Creed) just bore me. I'm all about other games in this genre, but those 2 made it impossible for me to love.
I missed the Halo boat completely, and am now trying to make up for lost time. Not so impressed with Halo 1 thus far. I'm hoping it has more to do with the age of the first game and not the lacklustre allure it's posed thus far.
Oh, and any Sims game. If I want to live life, I'll go outside.
I'm finding that, as i get older, i run into more and more games where i have this issue.
"Oblivion" was one that i did the initial bit where you escape the dungeon, and i looked around outside, and then i logged out and went to play WoW.
I did finally decide to give "Fallout 3" a chance.. And did find it a bit more interesting then Oblivion. I'll probably play that one some more.
Every GTA game since "Vice City".. I think i've just outgrown them. They used to be awesome, but "San Andreas" and GTA4 i've regretted blowing the money on. I think i've played them BOTH for a combined less-then 3 hours..
I sometimes wonder how much my discovery of "WoW" affects this issue. When i bought the 1.99 trial, i remember the guy at EB telling me that once i started playing that, it would be the ONLY thing i'd want to play... And i think he's right.
Aside from the Advanced Wars series on the DS, i really don't devote much time to any game not called "WoW" anymore..

Of all games, I never could get into Fallout 3. Anything else I could play through several times but Fallout 3 was just too slow-paced for me. I ended up going back to Fable 2 after reaching Level 20. I was going to try and start again from the beginning but my 360 decided that now would be a good time to die.
LittleBigPlanet... I was really, really looking forward to that game before it came out... then it came out and everybody loved it and I was so optimisitc on getting my hands on it... and then I was swamped with a big pile of tutorials, and I couldn't get my head around making a good level. And when I found myself replacing the game disk with another generic grey/brown coloured FPS, I felt a little bit of my childhood die in me :'(
Fallout 3. I rented the game and I did enjoy it a bit at the start, but I don't really enjoy exploring uhh..."blown up crap." I mean, the combat was fun, but after going into some museum and breaking all my limbs, with no ammo, I couldn't stand it. I might try it again, since people keep saying it's the best game ever created, so I might get into it later.
Another is Far Cry 2. I was really surprised with the awesomeness of the map system and how you can go into a mission however you liked. But what did annoying me was the random sickness. I didn't play too much, but it didn't seem to tie into the story at all, it was just an annoying warning saying, "If you've got some pills, press X!" Not sure if it's a very good analogy, but it reminds me of those signs in the pictures, "Warning:This sign's edges are sharp!"
I also was annoyed with the constant jamming. Ya, I guess it gives you a reason to actually buy guns, but then it makes it impossible to fight with a gun you picked up. And how come the enemies never jammed? Of course, after jamming a bit my gun exploded. Again, might give it a try later, but I was a bit annoyed with it.

The Xbox Live Arcade version of the first Worms. There weren't enough weapons to keep me interested and one of the maps, the name of which eludes me, was bugged and/or taken down. The Worms 2: Armageddon was a major improvement.
Final Fantasy XII; the lack of character development and horrid storyline pacing just turned the game completely off for me. I tried to like it, however there was simply no give.
