I think Final Fantasy 7 ruined the franchise. I usually get a lot of flak when I say that, but the games were just more fun when they were 2D. Maybe it's because they required a little imagination. Maybe it's because I like characters who resemble marshmallows. I don't know. All I do know is that I loved everything Final Fantasy up until Cloud came on the scene.
Although I will admit that "One-Winged Angel" is a great orchestral piece.
EDIT: Wow. I see I've been massively ninja'd on the FF7 thing. I officially love this thread.

Not sure if it's considered a 'classic' but at the time the twisted metal games came out they were bigger than jesus. I really disliked them and found them to be boring after about 4 minutes.
Another one is 'doom' and especially doom 2. The 2nd one came out and every single person I knew had a copy (including my brothers) the games made me motion sick, I thought it was too easy to get turned around since everything looked the same, and it just wasn't that interesting to be in various blue and black boxy tunnels.
When Duke Nukem came out like a year or two later I enjoyed that a hell of a lot more. Maybe because the levels actually felt like different places. (A city, a football field ect). Few of my friends would convert to the clearly superior game.

Tetris and pacman.. they are repetitive, luck dependent and take too long to get to the challenging bits
I remember when Resident Evil 4 came out, everybody raved every single day how it was the bee's knees. I was a huge fan of the RE series but for whatever reason never got around to playing RE4 until one day I picked it up on the Wii, and... I don't think I've ever been so let down in my life. I mean, honestly, the way I'd sum up the game is "walk into an area, wait 5 minutes for all the not-zombies to zombie their way over to you in a neat line and shoot them all in the head. Move onto next area and repeat". It was just so... ugh. Not Resident Evil.
I tried the RE5 demo and the controls made me want to strangle someone they were so frustrating, so I didn't bother with that at all.

Actually what does make or break the case with Deus Ex is whether or not you stick around for the Alien Mission(Level Designs still worth drooling today) or the meeting with the illuminaty head. Having a philosophical discussion with a robotic surveillance system about replacing religion with robots... the games has delusions alright, but delusions on the scale of poetry.EatPieYes said:
If anything is video games citizen cane or watchmen it's Deus Ex.
Does the game need to be old to be a "classic"? If so then I never got into Metroid or Starfox. However, if it's allowed to be a new game and a "classic", I just couldn't get to same level of adoration that my friends all have for MW2. I liked the stories in the first games better, so it just might have been my expectations, but it was a "Meh" game at best for me.
omg, I dont agree with anyone here. That means ill have to come up with an original answer
um.....
Street Fighter. I actually love the animated movies, but never really enjoyed the game. Tekken was out and I liked it a lot more

I think the RE4 completely changed the series. It wasnt the same kind of game as the other 3. They really could have changed some names and called it something else, and noone would link it to Resident Evil. But you know, franchises.Mr Waffle said:
Mortal Kombat, a piece of shit fighting game with terrible and boring combat. Only reason it was ever popular was because of its childish violence and controversy.
Half Life 2, a boring over hyped shooter that is nowhere near as fun as the fist game. The game is so stuck up its own ass too that it's just bloody pretentious. The AI was terrible even for its time, the weapons were all flat and boring aside from the gimmick gun, and the vehicle sections handled poorly. It was an OK game at best, but nowhere near the paragon of FPS greatness it's touted to be. At least HL1 was FUN to play.
Pokemon is fucking terrible, and always will be. Worst RPGs I have ever played and are nothing more than a boring insidious grind. Shallow and derivative game play, and BORING ASS COMBAT!! I love turn based combat but Pokemon is one of the worst and most boring. It's the same damn game generation after generation without any worth while improvements, god it's all just a long boring ass meta-game.
Goldeneye, all I gotta say is Perfect Dark was better.
FF8....oh good lord FF8.
Annnd I can't think of any more at the moment. Work break is over

I agree with you there. I didn't like Goldeneye, either.HSIAMetalKing said:
I've never liked the Donkey Kong Country games. It's a bunch of mediocre platforming with s shitload of stuff they want you to collect which does absolutely nothing outside of granting an extra life.
The graphics were nice, but that's about it.
