Why do I hate this?

Bioshock. Why? Because I played System Shock 2 and so many people said "You have never seen something like that before" about Bioshock. It's not bad but System Shock 2 is still better.

Ninja Gaiden for the XBOX. I like the NES Ninja Gaiden's, and I like NGII, but I don't like the first. Don't know why.

Everyone treats GTA like the series invented open-world gameplay. Well, as an Elder Scrolls fan (Morrowind, even Oblivion), GTA looks like a pretty sad imitator. Besides gratuitous sex and violence, I really can't see what that series has going for it. As far as I know I'm the only one, though.

I agree with you so you're not totally alone. I think the GTA games are pleasant experiences though.

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?
You have every reason to hate the Xbox remake. They chopped out bits of the main story, AND they raped the multiplayer. I certainly don't begrudge them for adding the online multiplayer/bizarre class-based component they did, but I DO begrudge them for cutting the original multiplayer. I would've bought the remake solely on the basis of the beach assault mode, had they not cut it. Instead, I had to eBay an N64 copy.

On Twilight Princess, it's actually one of the best games in its franchise. Its writing and character development is actually incredibly good (for secondary characters, obviously, not Link), the story is more interesting and complex than any of the other games', and the dungeons are some of the best-designed in the last while. The problem is that the game was made for everyone who wanted an Ocarina of Time clone, and that's exactly what it is. It's an awesome game, to be sure, but only for the same reasons Ocarina is good. Here's hoping that the next game takes its inspiration from Majora's Mask - easily the most vibrant, tangible, vivid world in the series, as well as the creepiest story, best music, and most mind-twisting dungeon design. Plus, I'm a sucker for extensive side-quests and interesting characters. Sadly, I doubt that's going to happen, and I'm expecting another game styled after The Wind Waker - not a bad thing by any means, but not the best thing either.

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?
Why the hell are you playing it on the Xbox? It's a real-time strategy game, dammit. That should be a cardinal sin for gamers. Grab the PC versions; they're awesome.

A game that did that to me? Gotta be Bioshock. I just really did not enjoy that game...
BioShock is the best example of wasted potential in a game ever. The presentation, story, environment, etc. are all incredible, but that's all the game is. The gameplay itself is mind-numbingly simple and repetitive, and the problem is that it came out of trying to appeal to even the most Halo-obsessed frat fucks. You can carry a million weapons, you have practically infinite, easily-accessible money, you get enough ADAM to buy as many Plasmids as you want, etc. If they had just placed some limits on what you can and can't do, and hadn't thrown so much ammunition and so many completely helpless enemies in your face, the game would have been so much better and had way more replay value.

It's still fun, but the gameplay itself grows old very fast because you've essentially done all there is to do by about an hour in, and past the first couple of areas the survival element, which is the absolute best thing about the game, completely disappears as it turns into a generic run-and-gun shooter. Did they really have to make it impossible to die and put a giant GO HERE NEXT arrow floating in the middle of the screen? I like a bit of challenge in my games. It's all just a case of pandering way too much to the mass market. Seriously, the people you're appealing to are the kinds who buy games based on the first 15 minutes of glitzy presentation anyway, so why are you ruining the game for anyone with an IQ higher than a box of nails?

I concur. I mean, I just had no motivation to play through it. After OoT, as cliched as it sounds, I just lost interest in Zelda as a whole.

edit: The quote was referring to Twilight Princess.

Initially GTA IV, and didn't play it for a month after, but my online is down, so I thought I would give it another try. Not to bad now, still no San Andreas though.

The Darkness.
It should have been playable. It looked OK. It had some good ideas.
But.
Any movement was like walking through treacle.
The special abilities were pretty much redundant.
It just did not excite me.

Devil May Cry 4, no doubt. I don't know what it was about that game that just made me want to hurl it out a window, but I seriously loathed it.

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.

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.
I've only ever played the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess, and I loved it. Also, I prefer to consider Twilight Princess as the last major Gamecube game, rather than one of the first major Wii games.

Dickhead of a character? Guns that don't do anything? Obnoxiously difficult timed jumping puzzles where a hoarde of enemies spawn in if you fail? Sections where you meant to just guess which way you're going completely at random, and if you get it wrong you warp back to the start? One button that makes all others useless by comparison? Sections where you have to roll a giant dice for about 10 minutes before you can advance? Those bastard sword enemies that fly at you constantly and can only be killed after they've attacked you? The fact that you HAVE to use these to defeat 80% of the bosses?
I could go on...

hmm this is a tough call i find alot of games i play i like even if i don't perticularily find a greater part of it fun and what not, but i fail to usually be stopped by that because i think to myself "well its better than doing nothing", but if it all boils down to what game i dislike the most, i cant quite decide, so looking through my plethora i remember quite well how much i dispise Qbert in the sheer fact that none of the control settings will work well unless you're drunk and blind in 1 eye with your left hand chopped off.

and that is just a NES game, ask me about something a little higher in date like custom robo...

Inclined to agree there too. Absolutely shit game. However I know why I hate it so whatever.

Crackdown I agree with too. Had the makings of a game i'd like but I couldn't get into it.

This thread makes me a sad panda, because I loved Twilight Princess!

...and HATED Phantom Hourglass. I didn't mind it at first, but the longer it went on the duller it got. Never made it halfway through that game. As soon as I got mildly stuck I threw it back on the shelf with enthusiasm and haven't picked it up since.
