GTA - After briefly playing IV, and spending more time lugging your cousin around, going on dates, and well, doing anything but shooting people, I decided that the game just wasn't worth my time. When I finally got into a fight, the controls were so intuitive that I dropped it immediately. Same goes for V.
Half Life 2- I have always said that the game is an average shooter with nothing going for it other than the gravity gun. I hate silent protagonists. I couldn't follow the story. I just don't get why it is one of the highest rated games of all time.
Fallout: New Vegas - Just wasn't the post apocalyptic experience that I wanted. I didn't want to spend my time running around endless deserts, but it seems that was pretty much all that was going on in NV.
RAGE - Damn, this game is ugly. Poor texture quality, every zone seems to have shadows that are one primary colour, the shooting felt light and generally like it didn't have much of an impact. The only redeeming thing about the game was the animation quality, but a game cant stand on animation quality alone.
Skyrim - Size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle. The game might be huge, but there is nothing to do. The story was pretty much non-existent, dragons were not much of a threat, the dungeons were boring (Draugr, Bandits, Dwemer Machinery OR Falmer), mechanics were broken (especially stealth and alchemy), the AI were stupid, there were invincible characters everywhere, the list goes on. Sure, you can fix most of these games via mods, and the game is marginally fun with them, but there are still much better games out there.
