I hate a lot of games I noticed. Maybe more.
I absolutely hated Clive Barker's Jericho. Games like MW2 and GTAIV as overrated as they are, still at least have some functional gameplay. Jericho is just a giant turd on top of an even bigger turd that is on top of God's abandoned outhouse.
Shaq Fu. I was foolish enough to pay 10 pounds for it, ever since I have been wandering what else I could have spent it on.
Devil May Cry 2. What the hell happened? I mean good god. It's like they saw everything good about the first one and said, "naahhh." No story, awful levels, bad enemies, crap bosses, underwater levels, incredibly poor combat, there are NO good points about this game.
Armored Core: 9 Breaker. The long running mech franchise, now focusing on arena combat, what could go wrong? Turns out, a LOT. Replacing the story mode and missions with time trials and agility tests is not a good idea. Add in a new heat system that virtually cripples your mech, and you've got a grade A lemon of a game.
Also, there are some games, including but not limited to, that everyone should hate as a default: Superman 64, ET, Custer's Revenge... You know the kind I mean.

This, and Shadow the Hedgehog. Ninja'd on both fronts. FFXII plays like a fricking MMORPG, with NO BLOODY ENDGAME! THAT'S WHERE ALL THE GAME IS!Ubermetalhed said:
Made me angry. I only got through about 30-40 hours of the game...5 or 6 times. I never found the bit where it 'got good'. And I always get dispirited when I'm reminded you have to be extremely careful which bloody treasures you pick up (Apparently, if you pick up some random urns, the Infinity + One Sword is LOST FOREVER). Ugh.
Quite liked the gambit system in theory, it was too limited in practice, it should've had the ability to chain and create dependencies for other gambits.
Shadow the Hedgehog is like playing Crash Bandicoot with unresponsive controls that make you feel like you're wading through molasses (seriously, where's the speed?!), horrible imprecise and unsatisfying boss fights, a tacked on "morality" system, a plot that is just NOT suitable for a Sonic game (remember when it was a simple, fun, dumb, platformer? The plot it had then made more sense and was more entertaining), guns (I can't remember if you could fire the guns while running or not, but you certainly couldn't and be guaranteed a hit), powerups that made you skip entire portions of level thus missing out on stuff, almost never required you to actually jump to make it across a gap...OK, it's not much like Crash Bandicoot. Other than the graphics. Oh...and Shadow the Hedgehog is bugged to hell too.
FFX-2 also annoyed me a bit, as "press and hold "X" to succeed" was all that was needed thru most of the game, and the music sucked compared to, oh, let's say, FREAKIN' OTHERWORLD! Also, you could miss Paine's best dress-sphere forever if you didn't run into a 'room' which had no indication you were supposed to go there, which is a bit like missing out on Bahamut in FFX because Bevelle temple appeared to be a small broom closet. Oh, and two Tidus's. Fine, one 'Tidus', and one Tidus. But it was bad enough with original flavour ;P.
Phantom Brave sucked. Really put me off that entire genre, and because it stole most of its mechanics from Disgaea it never explained them to me - so I never really understood the game either. The story was so saccharine I was googling "reverse IV-drip" within seconds, the combat was fiddly and imprecise, and you could lose characters and weapons forever surprisingly easily. There was none of the weird humour that (I'm told) characterises and saves Disgaea, and none of the rich world and story-telling that I associate with FF Tactics. And so much grinding to get anything half decent...euch.
It's good to vent
