BioShock. The sad thing is that I know it's wonderful. I just can't take the frenetic nature of the thing. If anything, there's too much immersion. The setting and story points are amazing, but I just can't play it...
A game that you just can't play.

I have moral obligation against buying game and then not playing itSizzle Montyjing said:
It's not a baby but a bunch of pixels, I think people should take games as such.Just think about what makes most of the "Games" (mind the capital G
) great, it sure ain't shooting thing of any shapes (not even in milestone FPSs).And I just can't play Oblivion. Tried and failed to find excitement behind it (friend borrowed it to me saying how awesome it is, so no I did not break my own moral obligations xD).
I'll have to go with the controversial answer of Oblivion. I know it's a great game, and I tried so many times to like it, but every time I get bored and play a different game.
Also, Dead Space 2. Any game with an ad campaign that offends me isn't worth my time. (yes, I'm still carrying that grudge)

Zelda is my favorite game series, but for the life of me I cannot play the DS versions. Absolutely nothing I like about Zelda is in these games, and they also possess everything I don't like about Zelda. I forced myself to get half way through he first game, and that was it. I literally couldn't play anymore because I was so nauseated and upset.
Every year or so I turn it on and give it another shot. Nope, disappointing every time.

Really? I see nothing wrong with killing children (or anything/anyone) in video games. I have no issues with putting one between the eyes of a virtual child. It's a video game, but I understand where you're coming from. Maybe I just really hate children...Sizzle Montyjing said:

Anyway, to answer the question, I would probably say Saints Row 2. I just couldn't...couldn't do it. If that game had a face, I would punch it.
There are a worryingly large amount, but I'll stick to my main bugbears:
Metal Gear Solid - Loved the first one on PS1, although I could never beat Liquid. I've tried to give 2 and 3 a chance, and I like the story enough to happily sit and watch while my brother plays them, but the actual gameplay is horrible. The last time I tried MGS3, I was playing 4or 45 minutes after which point I had watched a lot of cutscenes andsank into a swamp because I was aiming my gun at a crocodile and hadn't noticed I was sinking. Needless to say, I have zero interest in playing number 4.
Online FPS games - I'll happily play through the story mode of something like Reach on co-op with friends, but horde/deathmatch/ctf game modes leave me cold. You play the same couple of maps over and over again with no sense of progression except for your k/d ratio creeping up. I seriously don't understand the appeal (I have never played any COD apart from a bit of splitscreen zombies on World at War)
Red Dead Redemption. I could see the quality oozing out of it but I couldn't be bothered, frankly. I only played an hour or two, then never really wanted to pick it up again.
Also, for slightly different reasons, Assassins' Creed 2. I was really enjoying it, about 8 hours in. I booted up the xBox, went to my sae file and it wasn't there. I really don't want toplay the first few hours again, at least not while it's so fresh. I'll go back to it in a couple of months.

For me, it's black ops.
I was playing it on Xbox with a friend who insisted I try it. I was using a controller (which I'm already not completely familiar with) on a game I felt was slow and clunky. Even when sprinting I felt as if it was terribly slow, and it felt like half of the game was either camping or wandering about the map until you found something to point your gun at.
I can see why others might like it... but it didn't appeal to me.

I couldn't fully play Fire Emblem: Radient Dawn. I just couldn't stand one of the main character Micaiah. Also turning the game into 3D doesn't appeal to me at all (the fight animation is slow compare to the GBA).
Also I just can't get into Tales of Symphonia. The character didn't charm me and I always feel dumb in the fighting part of the game (I feel I should be using some startergy like other RPG).

MMO. I don't see anything fun about having to pay to keep playing and keep doing boring quests and grinding until you get to a higher level and then the fun actually start. And I also don't like to play Survival horrors when the story is weak or you have so much weapons that isn't scary, and I hate when Stealth games (My favorite genre along with non-realistic FPS and WRPG) are linear, only offers one way to complete the mission and have a lot of action sequences *cof*Splinter Cell Conviction*cof*(Co-op and torture sequences were cool thought).
I really wanted to enjoy Symphonia, in part because it was one of a very meagre handful of RPGs on the Gamecube, but the fighting mechanic never clicked for me. I just felt like I was button bashing.Scarim Coral said:
I've never got on with ant Tales games come to think of it.
resident evil 5. i rented it and i hated the annoyance of the whole scarcity of ammo and automatics and i couldn't get past the first boss.
brink is nice but the stupid ass ai weigh it down. it needs a squad command system.
also, anything that requires you to solve a retarded, hugely boring puzzle to open a door, fight a boss or some crap. i never liked the whole namby panby runaroundy find it's weak spot yes this game does not have regenerating health system nor a cover system crap used in just about every japanese game. so no, unless the japanese game you're eyeing and would highly recommend to me is shadows of the damned, i will not under any circumstance buy or rent or even play it because it will almost certainly be cluttered up with a bunch of arbitrary puzzle sequences that just suck the shooter out of it. no thank you, i will not play it unless it is like call of duty, gears of war, halo, mass effect, uncharted or battlefield.

i like black ops, but the game itself isn't the best game i've seen. the graphics suck, the maps are huge, death comes way to often cause i suck when it comes to online competitive gaming. also, i'm the only guy on the earth who isn't the 15th prestige, apperantly.GeneralFungi said:
