Why do I hate this?

[Donstheman]

You know the games Im talkin about, you sit down and play a game, hate it, turn it of and then go "Why did I hate that game?"
The first game that jumps to mind is Cokers Bad Fur Day : Reloaded for the Xbox. I loved the N64 version, it was amazing, so why do I hate the new one with the improved graphics? Its basically the same game with a different weapon and less swear words (which to me was the biggest slap in the face of peeps who say "Nintendo is to kiddy") so why do I loathe it so much?

I know what you mean. Sometimes it can be the littlest things.

I think in your case Don, it was the loss of the edgy-ness. The original only had fuck bleeped out, IIRC, and the graphics were sharp and hard-edged (well, relatively, anyway), which enhanced the experience somewhat. The new one is softer and more cuddly, and it's not as unrestrained. The new weapon isn't as funny, and the game is actually slightly easier to get through (at least, I found it so). All these things combine in your mind and make you think 'The original was better', and then you start hating the game for not being exactly that.

I think.

The only game I can think of with that feeling is No-One Lives Forever, for some strange reason. I got pretty far in the first game too, but still walked away not liking it. No idea why.

I also agree. With me it was Deus Ex, despite the fact I LOVED it the first half an hour when I played it, after that I literally despised it.

Twighlight princess. I can't explain why, but for some reason I really fucking hate that game.

 

[Yami Blade]

The X-box 360 Command and conquer games. I love the computer ones and the playstation ones werent bad but I just dont like how 260 ones feel. Controls maybe?

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Twilight Princess here, too. I hated that they turned Zelda into an Anime series. I only played it at all at the strong urging of my friends, and found the story nearly unbearable. Playing as the wolf was boring and unnecessary; I saw it simply as a way to recycle the same areas. Zelda was never all that dark, but it pretended to be, and it made for good atmosphere. This one felt more emo than dark. On the other hand, I really liked the mounted combat; that was the one thing the game had going for it.

Mostly, it was the Japanimation. My nerves just can't take it.

The Darkness. My irrational hatred for it prevented me from persevering. It pissed me off so much that after ten minutes I went out and bought a PS3.

Twighlight princess. I can't explain why, but for some reason I really fucking hate that game.

I completely agree. Everything about it was technically good, yet it's still incredibly unappealing to me.

i didn't like it for a different reason. when i originally played the game it was for the cube then i got my wii and decided to play it again. apparently to cope with link now being right handed they flipped the entire world. its kinda just a pet peeve but through most of the game i would enter a building and run right into a wall because it was the way you have to go in the cube version.

 

[Darth Marsden]

black lincoln - they did that to accommodate most players, who are right handed. And I did the same thing when I switched versions. I think the Cube version is the better one, if only because it just feels better with a standard controller.

I dont understand, what do you mean? Was this so you could get new games, or some kind of relaxation method.

Yeah, I guess it was kind of cathartic. 300 quid of carthatic.

Another Twilight Princess here, mostly because I loved the fact that Link was a left handed hero, than they pulled the BS of making him right handed.

I know that a majority of the population is right handed, but I'm not, and if lefties the world over can play every other game with our right hands than you derned righties can use your left for one game.

/end irrational argument.

 

[OverlordSteve]

The big one for me is the Orginal Half-Life. I don't know why, but I just hate it and can't play it for more than a few minutes before I turn it off.

 

[KineticX49]

Bioshock was probably the biggest one for me.

Pretty cliché scenario of an overhyped game not delivering, atleast for me. I just couldn't make it past 3/4 hours and i've tried many times!

It's a big shame, because a part of me really wants to like it, to get involved with it and to love it like everyone else in the world seems to!

I can't understand why. If I were to review it, I would have a lot of positive comments to make, but as for in-depth feelings about the game ; I hate it!

^This. I hated that game, it was so boring. I found that 90% of the time I was galloping around on that blasted horse.

Also Soul Caliber 4, I loved 2 and 3, but for some reason I can't stand 4.

I actually really liked Twilight Princess, it had more character than previous titles, the story was a little deeper, and I especially enjoyed all the Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time nostalgia-inducing references. I know that's not what this thread is about, but I figured it needed a little defending at this point. (I will say the sidequests kinda sucked, though, it was just collect this and that stuff.)

The only game I can think of that I've hated for no apparent reason is Persona 3 FES, I really loved P3, but I just can't get into The Answer for the life of me.

Yggdra Union for the GBA. I was on RPGamer and saw a review that they had for the psp remake, they gave it a 5 out of 5 and just raved on and on about it, said it was a remake of the original with a few new characters and such. I borrowed the original GBA version from a friend. I hated it. It had a lot of cool concepts for a strategy rpg, and I should have liked it, but I just couldn't.

Operation Darkness was another big one. I was so looking forward to it, I mean, zombie nazi's versus Allied werewolves, how much more fricken' win can you get? Played the demo, and it was just...I don't know, it was bad.

Finally there's Psychonauts. Loved the story, loved the imaginative levels, hated the actual gameplay. Forced myself through it just for that awesome story, but damn, I hated the platforming in that game. The non-platforming stuff was awesome, like the bit with Napoleon or when your in the Lungfish's mind, but the crap like when you're trying to climb up that stupid fricken' broken tower in the asylum, I hated it, I hated every single minute of those stages.

 

[the protaginist]

my vote goes for Crackdown.
it has everything i like about a game,Free-roam,3rd person,shooter,superhero.
it's probably becuase of the lack of a plot.
