Call Of Duty because it lowerd the standards for gaming
Halo for birthing the world of Xbox live and killing the arcades

I'm Prolly going to be flammed for this but
it is my opinion

I just don't care for the Half-life Saga, I have played them all and I just cant get into them, I dont think they arn't worthy of respect they just dont do it for me
I feel you there I just don't get it. But I give it respect because without it Team Fortress 2 would not exist. Also I don't get Final Fantasy (sorry FF lovers!!) I just don't get it either.

Knights of the Old Republic. I just can't stand playing it, yet I love mostly everything else BioWare have made.

Mario anything.

No, seriously. I hate platform jumpers and the heart of Mario is platform jumping. There's little strategy to it, little enough action as well (at least by my definition of "action") -- it's just timing and pushing a button. I could understand an argument that it's "mindless fun" but it's too mindless for me.

Half-Life.
Overhyped drivel.
This. I never got into it. and overhyped is just an understatement. Sadly I do not know a better word to 'overthrow' the word overhyped.

OT:
Final Fantasy Series and Half Life 1+2. meh
Are you guys talking about 1 or 2 when you say overhyped? Because when the first one came out it was not really that hyped and was the most revolutionary shooter ever.
The second one, yeah, totally overhyped.

I loathe this thread, people saying that games only a few years old are consider "classics" makes me feel old.

Edit: Also the whole viewing of old games with expectations of new games.
Glad somebody said it! Why don't we stick to games old enough to be considered classics.

My vote is going to have to go to Total Annihilation.
I never got into it when it was new, tried it late, and found that the control and interface had not aged well in my opinion.

I don't know if a lot of people played it, but there was a game called Run Like Hell. All my friends got so deep into it, and I couldn't even do the first level. I turned it on, played for ten minutes and just gave up on the game. I don't really remember why. Also, I tried playing the first couple of Elder Scrolls and Fallouts, and I just...couldn't do it.

Half-Life 2. I swear I spent 80% of that game running around pressing buttons, turning valves and doing stupid puzzles. Oh and it gives me motion sickness.

I never liked Starcraft or Warcraft, I understand they're good games but for me playing them was like walking into someone's house and saying
"I really hate what you've done with the place Larry..."
It's just not for me.

Anything by Nintendo (although I did like Pokémon when I was younger). From then or now in fact.

Final Fantasy. God iv played it on the nes, got about 2 hours in and would rather watch tv, do the dishes, read a book anything but play that. I then played ff7 later thinking it might be different... god still hate it. To be fair i don't play rpgs much, im more a platformer, fps and racing game kind of guy.

Oblivion. I know it's not a classic, but i hate that game with a vengeance. Oddly enough i loved Fallout 3 =]

Mario. Repetitive 2D platforming which bored the hell out of me. I also hate the Mario Kart series.

Ooh, where to begin?

Pokemon, all of them.
Mario, all of them.
Legend of Zelda, all of them.
Half-Lives 1 & 2.
Counter-Strike.
Fallout, all of them.
Gears of War, both of them.
Big Rigs. You know why.

I've played all and own most of the games mentioned, but I just don't like or enjoy them at all.

Maybe I'm really fussy?

Honestly, Mario.

I just don't care for it, and the one that I was able to actually play for an extended period was Super Mario Sunshine.
It's not the genre, its just, I dunno- I always liked other games from the genre better

The entire Resident Evil franchise, and anything Metal Gear after Metal Gear Solid.

There are other games (even entire franchises) I dislike, but nothing else I loathe quite as deeply.
