Not completely the same thing, but I kept getting distracted during The Lord of the Rings because I kept hearing Spyro instead of Frodo. Frodo would have had a better time getting stabbed if he had remembered to feed Sam some butterflies first.

i hate games without autosave. it ruined mass effect 1 for me. yeah, it had an autosave but it only kicked in at like the start of every level. if you died 3 quarters in you had to start all over. thats why PC gaming is superior. Quicksave key ftw.

Half life 2 because I didn't like the shooting element. Can't really give any specifics but the shooting just didn't feel right to me. Yeah.
i felt that way but only when playing it on the console. the shooting on the pc version felt much more natural. im not trying to make the argument that mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller. but for half life 2, it definitely felt alot more fluent.

I didnt like Fabel 2 because there wasnt a Hero's guild
Someone else who cares about that! Although I did have Fable 2 I really didn't enjoy it. One of the things that really pissed me off was how they pretty much destroyed all the amazing lore they built up from the first game! I hated that! The game felt it was totally unrelated to the first and was a disappointment in every respect. I loath that game, especially because the first was so good.

The only weird reason for not liking a game I can think of is that once someone told me they didn't like Forza because it was too realistic.

Games which claim to have a shred of realism or simulate modern combat then fuck up large chunks of realism:

E.g. - In MW2, the L86A2 LSW is reloaded entirely with the right hand, the only weapon to do so. In real life the SA80 series of weapons are loaded entirely with the left hand.
LOLZ
That wasn't the best point to choose, I agree. It's just something that a modern war simulation should maybe notice.

Anyway, welcome to The Escapist, try to stay out of the basement!

OT: I despise the Uncharted games because they do absolutely nothing original or interesting, yet are universally praised as some of the best games ever made. About halfway through I set Uncharted 2 to "Very Easy" difficulty just because I wanted to get through with the damn thing faster. I can't get past a completely generic, run-of-the-mill adventure/shooter game being so highly praised because they're exceptionally pretty. I don't begrudge the people who enjoy them, I just don't.
I agree with you entirely. That's why I hate Halo.

I want to try Assassins Creed II or Brotherhood but I just can't get past the godawful Italian accents.

I know they're in Italy but I've seen plenty of Italian movies and I know nobody talks like that. It's like they got Mario's voice-actor to voice everyone.
I wonder how that could even be the case since they had Italian cast and crew available. Either it's a huge foresight, or since the actors had accent coaching, you might be a wee bit mistaken.

Except Halo did it before it was commonplace. Halo was the game that made shooters mainstream, they must have done something good other than make purple aliens look pretty. I think we look at games like this through the lenses of tthe present too often.

Well I ended up liking the game eventually, but as a mild fan of the fps genre and only ever really playing them in the form of cheap mmo's when I finally ended up playing a 'proper' fps I was upset that when I took aim my gun would actually recoil. It bothered me to the point of not playing the game for a while, but I got used to it eventually.

I suppose this is strange since I initially disliked the game for actually being more realistic than the cheaper counterparts.

My worst excuse (& i'm sticking to it) is that I will not play a game that has an all brown/grey environment. This means I won't play most shooters. I usually go for bright colorful ones like Far Cry & Serious Sam.

My friend ( and I use the term loosely) said he didn't like team fortress 2 because it felt insubstantial, like the kind of game you'd find free in a cereal box. This same friend said he didn't like Oblivion simply because he thought the NPCs were creepy.

Never gotten my head round either of those.

Thank God I'm not the only one. That annoyed me so much that I stopped playing only after that chapter where you are riding the boat. My friend actually refused to lend me any game until I finished it. :L

And I was playing on PS3. ;)

I didn't like FF13 before it even came out, because I want to see Square Enix go bankrupt. (Yes, i'm an evil bastard XD). Besides I hate Mass Effect and Dragon Age, for the weird reason that they take themselves to serious.

For me, it's music and sound effects. If I really don't like the music, it turns down the enjoyment so much. That's part of the main reason I don't like God of War. Not a single song I enjoy and it gets annoying to hear.

And sound effects is probably weirder. If they just sound bad or cheap, it takes out the enjoyment too. Loud footsteps help me enjoy a game more. No idea why >.>
