The most monotonous game you have ever played

[Eldritch Warlord]

Captain Bland's Monotonous Adventure

(just getting that out of the way)

Now for real: some Bionicle point-and-click adventure game.

 

[Alone Disciple]

I find Puzzle Quest and many aspects of Sims 2 very repetitive.

 

[Pyre00]

Genre Wars

 

[Glerken]

Any MMORPG.
I'm serious, any of them.

 

[Glerken]

Genre Wars

Wha....He...we....
BURN The WITCH!



Damn, a double post, sorry.

But if we were to go by today's games it would have to be any GTA...or majority of open world games. They, especially GTA, fall under my dreaded phrase of "so much to do, but nothing worth doing".

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Advanced Lawnmower Simulator.

 

[balimuzz]

Dragon Quest, not a big fan of the JRPGs. So much goddamn grinding!!!

 

[balimuzz]

almost all MMOs.

You're not doing enough "LEEEEROY JEEENKIIINS"!!
Most monotonous game? Space invaders

So why not just watch it on YouTube and save yourself the subscription costs?

GTA 4. Damn that game sucked.

Mission 1 bored
Mission 2 bored
Mission 3 bored
Mission 4 bored
ABORT GAME

All GTA games are the same, excluding San Andreas due to it's over the top shit. Like hijacking a jet plane from an aircraft carrier.

But yeah, I agree with the guys saying WoW. Once I hit level 80, I stopped playing immediately.

Monotony Awards
First place: Assassin's Creed.
Second place: Far Cry 2.

That said, I still consider Assassin's Creed a better game than Far Cry 2, but that's not saying much.

Suikoden 5. Bad story that dragged on and on and on... At the hour and a half mark I realized I only did two battles which were boring JRPG battles that I couldn't lose.

Then I rage quit.

 

[Prplcheez]

Guitar Hero for the DS

i honestly have to go with Guild wars for first, because atleast halo, despite how much shit they managed to shovel onto one CD, still managed to stay playable. after 1 or 2 playthroughs of Guildwars, you just hit a great wall of shit stopping any motivation you have to go on with the game

ok, i have to break this up by catagory:
Shooter: anything based off of WW2
MMO: Free: runescape pay: GWs
Srategy/tactics: civilization 1, a game takes days to complete
driving: any where car customization is not really allowed, because you dont really get to have fun making your cars look like what you want them to look like.
RPG: Jrpgs in general
The sims: if you play it too much, you just start repeating what you do

every mmorpg iv ever played THE RELENTLESS GRINDING DRIVES YOU INSANE

JUST the mmos? Christ, you don't have to have a net connection to grind...

 

[squeekenator]

Every MMO ever made (yes, including Genre Wars), and the campaigns for Starcraft, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and DoW: Soulstorm. I would say Red Alert 2 as well, but it somehow managed to avoid becoming monotonous even though every mission worked exactly the same way. I dunno, perhaps it was just the humour that did it.

RPGs in general are renowned for grinding, most of the offline ones manage to fit the grinding in well with the story, so theres just enough gameplay and just enough story to not annoy you. Plus they place challenges in the bosses. There are exceptions however, Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest and Blue Dragon namely. Megaten games have a really good story so it does slightly balance it out, but still can get annoyingly monotonous. The other two however, the storys didn't grip me one bit.

MMORPGs however, doesn't have that in depth story to balance it out, instead you end up doing the same quests, killing the same mobs over and over again, and the only thing you get out of it is some pretty coloured Pixels which you'll forget about not long after. The only reason WoW managed to keep me long enough was because I had a few mates online(The rest of the population were the extremes unfortunately, either nooby or elitist).
