So yeah, let's talk about the games that people praise that didn't do it for you. Mine was Eternal Darkness. I was expecting a game that would manage to scare me while also playing tricks on my mind. Unfortunately, I thought it was a standard, Tomb Raider-esque action game. The sanity effects were cool, once, but it soon became a game that I didn't want to finish. It just got repetitive. I'll stick to Resident Evil for now.

[Maxx Blast]

Oblivion.

I quite honestly, did not enjoy that game in the least.

[Tm_Silverclaw]

Halo or GTA.

[Paladin]

Metal Gear Solid.



ALL of them.

[skankerzero]

I never got the Metal Gear craze.

I'm forcing myself to finish the Halo series after not liking 2.

Final Fantasy. I haven't liked a FF game since 7.

Zelda Twilight Princess. I may just hate the motion controls. I want to try it out on the Gamecube before completely writing it off.

Madden games.

Pretty much any WW2 shooter. enough already, give me creative scenarios. COD4, yes, COD5, no.

I have many more.

Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I hadn't played a Zelda game since the original, but it was such a "necessary" Wii game, I figured I'd try it out. Just completely not my bag. I think I got about 5 hours in, and gave it up. I didn't find it fun at all, didn't care about the story, didn't like the controls, didn't like the puzzles, didn't like the whole wolf-transformation thing, and thought that sidekick imp was obnoxious as hell.

Twilight Princess.

I didn't mind the wolf thing but I found it was too dark. Especially when using the wolf senses. Nearly turned it off and stopped playing completely when I had to search for bugs in the blackness.

[The Predaking]

Metal Gear Solid. I just don't like the stealth part of the game.

Oblivion. I just can't seem to get into that game.

[videomaster21XX]

For me it's The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker.

Words alone can barely describe how much I LOATH that game. (and I'm pretty sure SOMEONE is going to give me flak for this)

Oh, and before anyone says it: No I didn't hate it for the Cell Shading. In fact that was one of the few things I liked about it.

I also don't get the whole 'GTA' thing.

[tec]

Mega Mans
FF
Any Tom Clancy game
Madden or ball sports in genaral
GH or Rock Band not star oops..
Ratchet and Clanks I like the Jak series better myself


I think that about covers it

i never understood why everyone liked resident evil 4 ... i mean, it was ok.. but.. after reading/seeing all that praise, i expected a lot more..

same with the morrowind/oblivion series, its just too open. and the characters are hideous.

[Eva Sigma]

Compared to Wind Waker, Twilight Princess was a disappointment. I didn't pay $44.99 (Used, I might add) for a GC version of Ocarina of Time with no time-changing element or Ocarina. And Navi's annoyingness is preferable to the fact that Midna is a total bitch.

[megamagnusagain]

X-men legends

[Kalidor]

I could really give a crap about any Final Fantasy game except the US version of III.

[Alex Smith]

My friend also has Oblivion and the Halo series at his house. I've had no inclination to try Oblivion and I would have never played Halo if it wasn't co-op.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Resident Evil. Just never got into it. Ditto for GTA and, well, the entire FPS genre.

[skankerzero]

For me it's The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker.

I didn't like that game either.

I absolutely hate water levels, especially 3d ones. So the whole game was just one huge turn off to me.

[Strafe]

Twilight Princess.

[Ave Destron!]

Mega Mans

I have never really enjoyed a megaman game.
