Weirdest reason for not playing a game

[infinity_turtles]

Being too hyped for a game. I mean, it makes sense to wait when you think about it, since if you're too hyped, it pretty much guarantees a bit of disappointment, but it still sounds weird.

"Hey you try out blah yet"
"Nope"
"Why not?"
"I'm excited about it."

I stopped playing Fallout 3 because the I couldnt simply play though the story. Thing is, I want playing the game to play it, I was playing it to finish it. It probably because theres a lot of games I want to get through. I just want to say "Ive finished Fallout 3" and be able to talk about it. So ive kinda given up on that, and am now trying not to buy FF9 from the PSN store. I honestly dont need it.

Also, I never played Shenmue because until recently I had no idea that the dreamcast existed.

I don't play anything Capcom anymore because of their mishandling of their possible franchises outside of whatever can feature Ryu from Street Fighter.

WOOO MVC3 tomorrow!!!! WOOOOOO

OT: I can't play Gears 2 not because they are too macho it's just that some of the cinematic are too sappy.

Have fun, I'll be waiting to hear who's unbalanced to the point where all you need is the first hit and you can lock them down till they die.

I've been playing for hours. Every single solitary character is perfectly balanced to a point where I can hardly believe it myself. This is a fantastic fighting game.

Actually, I bought him Amnesia: The Dark Descent...

...haven't heard a complaint from him in ages!

Bahaha. Well done!

The reason I haven't tried WoW is because it's too popular. Although I think that's a valid reason, it probably sounds like a weird reason to not even give it a try.

The fanboys are too loud, but I am pretty sure there are games out there that make WoW's 12 million accounts pale.

OT: Not having money to buy it and thinking its worthless until the patches, expansions and mods come out (Civilization V, I am watching you).

sonic games... on the nintendo... its just weird to me
(also every sonic game on anything but a SEGA console has genuinely sucked but i still played Sonic 3d and Sonic R on the saturn when they came out... wish i hadn't tho)

Dead Space 2 because they marketed to 13 year olds, and I am not a 13 year old. I liked Dead Space, I might have liked Dead Space 2, but the world will never know.

i didnt play madden cause favre was on the cover

 

[Ninjaghostdog]

Not wierd but I refuse to play cod, same shit different name.

I avoided playing Kingdom Hearts because of the characters. First of all I hate Mickey, Donald and Goofy, they're the worse Disney characters ever, even though they are the main mascots. Second of all I feared they would ruin how I look at FF characters. Yeah Cloud may have been a tad emo at the end of FF7 but I like the beginning where he's a cocky badass who has a giant sword that's probably to compensate for something...

 

[subject_87]

they won't play portal because, again, it has "crappy graphics" and is rated T
that's how most of the "gamers" at my school are.

Admittedly (Coming from someone who quite liked Portal), it wasn't much to look at (still looked decent though), but the sequel looks absolutely gorgeous.

OT: For quite a while, a friend of mine refused to play Minecraft for some arbitrary reason or another, ostensibly because it's 'gay', whatever that's supposed to mean (Now I got him hooked on it, though).

I am completely put off by the standard medieval fantasy setting and character types. Fortunately, a huge portion of games with such things are RPGs, which means I wouldn't have played them anyway.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

i dont like modern wargames. Shooters that is mainly. c&c still is cool, but just because its wierdly fictional and sci-fi-ish.
Everything depicting some modern day conflict bores the crap out of me, plus i cant sympathize with anyone in there.
