I guess the Final Fantasy series. It's just not my style. Though I'm not going to be a douche and confuse my personal distaste for it with a truth that the series is awful.

- Warcraft III, although I might like it now that I played Starcraft II
- Psychonauts: At least on PC, the controls are so bad you can't play it without a gamepad. I don't own a gamepad so therefore this game sucks.
- Team Fortress 2: I tried to play a few rounds but the gimmicky graphics, lame guns, adhd gameplay, and people screaming on mics made me quit.
- Goldeneye: Maybe because I grew up on Perfect Dark. Goldeneye always seemed so outdated. Like, why is this game so popular when Perfect Dark exists? It was Goldeneye, but better in every possible way.

Final Fantasy Especially 7 - Not all into turnbased and stuff.

Starcraft - Played with a couple of Koreans at school. Got dominated, bored, because the game is unforgiving to beginners, who have no idea of build orders. I do play it time to time now and then, but I don't like it.

Oblivion.: Not a fan. I like Fallout better, because Lazer Guns are better than Swords.

Gothic 3 No matter how much i try the fun eluded me.

Broken Combat of timing hardmode is just a stake in the heart for rpgs.

Oh and half-life 2, only part thats semi fun with a bearable story is in Ravenholm.

Oh my god I am going to be hated.

Deus ex.
I just don't.
I'm sorry.
BURN HIM!

Some people may say "Jk" after this sentence.
I do not.
I will not.
I am completely serious.

OT: Fallout 1/2, Zelda games, and if you count them, football games. Actually, pretty much any sport.
Oh, and the Total War games. I didn't like them.

Half-Life 2. I'm not saying Half-Life 2 is a bad game. I can easily see why other people would like it. In fact, I'm not sure why I don't enjoy it more than I do. But I don't. I find HL2 a relentlessly irritating game to play. Something about its gameplay makes it feel like having a permanent unscratchable itch.
Bland level layouts and bland weapons did it for me.

Dues ex is not about shooting things so they make it hard to do it :p
I still like it tho.

FO3 is about shooting things less about story/pacing and picking vital skills,ect and more about shooting things. I hate FO3,Oblivoin and Bioshock for being more spectacle than game.... thus why I hate most new games...

Gran Turismo (buy a car, race it, buy a better car race it, parts going to shit? repair, race, buy a car ....)

Final fight or any of those 2d side scrolling fighting games where the most minute movement up or down can mean certain death or successful hit. The Scott Pilgrim game had to stick to that genre and sucks because of it.

Act Raiser ... fuck that game ... no explanation needed.

Contra and Mega man are pretty much the same thing so I'm going with those, too. I can't be arsed to shoot-dodge my way through a poorly rendered 2d world if I already know what is going to happen.

If it counts as a classic, I hate Ninja Gaiden one to three; such a needless extreme difficulty...

Zelda and Final Fantasy take the cake. I never got those games, despite repeated attempts.

Just... no.

The first Metroid was just awful. There is no story whatsoever (or clear objective for that matter), the tunnels are endless and repetative, the controls are terrible and prevent you from being able to hit anything below chest level, and that last part would be ok if enemies wheren't fricking everywhere!

Well, I don't really 'loathe' any game(Nothing old, at least), at most there are some classic games that I just can't get into. Mega Man 1, for example. Is there some other game I should try that might get me into the series? Because that thing is just a frustrating mess of controller slamming.

Ecco the Dolphin's another one. I remember being impressed with it as a kid, but my nostalgia glasses completely broke when I bought it off Virtual Console. It's just so boooooring.

Heck, now that I think about it, very few games from before the 16-bit era have held up very well for me. Most of them are either too hard or too confusing by today's standards.
