What Popular Games do You Not Like?

[HazelrahFiver]

I haven't really enjoyed any FPS since the first Half-Life. HL2 is good, but not as good as it's parent, and all these 'realistic' shooters are boring as hell. CoD for an example.

I really enjoyed FF7, 9 and 11... but the rest I was surprised at how bad they were. (This excludes Mystic Quest, I love that game.)

Diablo. I consider Diablo the single worst kind of gaming. It's an insult when I use it to describe another game. "Don't get that, it's crap. It plays like Diablo." This of course means that WoW, Dragon Age, Baulder's Gate and so many other rpgs are unbearable for me.

While I love Red Dead Redemption, all the previous Rockstar games are trash. GTA4 I tried for twenty seconds and took the disc out of my system.

The first Uncharted was unplayable. I refuse to give the second game a try.

Starcraft is not fun, but this is more of a stress issue and disliking micro-management then anything else.

All the MGS are garbage except for 4.

FF,I think this series should die.

GTA- nothing about those games remotely appeal to me, and I played one, I think it was San Andreas and was bored.
Halo- played the first one and wasn't impressed. Gave the second one a shot and never finished it.
COD/realistic FPS's in general- I just don't care anymore and I don't think they are that fun.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

That is one of the most overrated "role-playing games" I have ever played. The characters are universaly boring and uninteresting, the story and main quest is extremely boring, turns you into an errand boy, gives you no choice and the ending takes all glory away from your character. Some of the guild quests were good but they were too few when compared to the bad quests and there was also no choice in the faction quests either and a lot less compared to Morrowind.

The voice acting was bad, most of the characters who were voiced well were killed off (The Emperor) or barely appeared in the game (Mankar Cameron) and the game world in terms of weapons, setting and everything was just Medieval fantasy world #20574.

The character designs were also all very dull and mostly looked the same. The Dunmer when compared to Morrowind looked so weak and stupid and didn't look threatening at all, and their voices in Morrowind were much better. The Khajiits also didn't have a broad range compared to Morrowind, they all looked the same wheras in Morrowind you could make then look like tigers, same goes for the Argonians where they had a more dinosaur like appearence.

...Anything by Bioware,

Pony and Bioware love aside, I would say Elder Scrolls. Oblivion was just MEH and Morrowind has not stood the test of time over the years.

Never managed to get into Dragon Age Origins. It was kind of fun but the combat was fairly boring for me and the most fun was just roleplaying and trying to intimidate people with my little dwarf.

Fallout 3. Repetitive combat and enemies that cheat, random land mines, and super mutants that constantly cripple my legs or head and I can't fucking find any of the SO MANY stimpaks everyone else is apparently finding so the game is unfairly hard even on easy, the combat is extremely repetitive, and the ending pisses me off. I worked that hard on my character and grinding through the story only to get a shitty picture montage with a narration? What the fuck? I just wanted water that doesn't make me glow when I drink it so I could fight longer and don't have to constantly go back to my safe houses to sleep off my head injuries.

All your complaints make sense, except difficulty. VATS and just searching every place you go for stuff makes the game a total breeze. By level 20 on my first playthrough I was loaded up with so many stimpaks and awesome weapons that nothing stood a chance.

I never liked MGS4. It's shit. Played it for a half an hour and then returned it. Also, while Uncharted is still not bad, I don't see the praise poeple constantly give it.

That reminds me, Daggerfall was fun because of the era it was released, but otherwise... until Oblivion the Elder Scroll games were not any good. Morrowind gets much praise, but I found it boring and not worth the time.

Final Fantasy. Any of them. They and their spawn can go jump in a well. On fire.

i'm with him

Well can you tell me where to find them? Because, I keep having to eat animal meat because I can't find what you and everyone else are apparently finding. I would relish the ease if I could get any. Where are you guys finding all of this stuff?

All the Call of Duty games...

*Risks all kinds of flaming*

You're not gonna get flamed here for that. I don't think anyone on this site really likes CoD much besides Modern Warfare 1. That one was actually good, whereas the ones afterwards just rinsed, washed, and repeated the cycle.

OP: GTA IV. I got it cause I didn't play any previous ones (no M-rated games for me when I was younger :-/) and I had heard that GTA is pretty much a go crazy playground of fun. It pretty much felt like the game was holding my hand the whole time, it wasn't very fun for me at all.

 

[escapistrules]

Black ops. just always thought MW2 was better. the online players are even bigger asses than ever, and the story sucked. plus, in my opinion, nazi zombies was kinda stupid. if i wanted to play a zombie survival fps, i would of played L4D.

 

[TheEldestScroll]

i always hated dragon age. it just seems like a thirteen year old fantasy nerd wrote the story. also its just not detailed and big enough. any sense of scale is an illusion.

other than that there aren't a lot of video games i don't like. there are plenty of games that i wouldn't spend 60 bucks on, but honestly if i could i would buy every video game. except for sports games. i hate sports.

also whats with all this hate toward the elder scrolls??

 

[GartarkMusik]

Halo, I liked 1 and 2, but once it hit the 360 it's like it caught some sort of virus

Yeah, I hear ya. First one was awesome, 2nd was not as good, but still pretty good, 3rd was shit, never played ODST, and Reach wasn't bad, but I just think the franchise has run its course as far as good games go.

 

[Chasing-The-Light]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Halo series
Dragon Age series

I just can't get in to any of them...

try looking in first aid kits, they are usually found in the bathroom of alot of building you go in. plus put your points in medicine, it will make stimpaks more effective so you dont need them as often. plus if you want easy leveling, at the start of the game, put 4 extra points into the intelligence of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. book so it is at 9. you will get an extra point to put into stats for every point in intelligence. you can get intelligence to the 10 by finding the bobble head in rivet city. and get the educated perk as soon as it is available. by the time you hit the lv cap at 20, you would of recieved an extra 133 points to spend on stats. (granted you went straight to rivet city without killing anything as soon as you left the vault) hope this was helpfull

Most of Valve's games.
The only ones that I'd say are above average are the first Half Life and TF2 (Kind of a stretch for TF2), with most of the other games being sub-par at best.

 

[Belgian_Waffles]

Bioshock, it's just so hallwayish, and relies on jump scares. Does this mean I won't like Ayn Rand?
