I never labeled FF7 as the "greatest game ever". It will be among my top favorites forever but by no means is it perfect. I perfered it over some of the other ones because you didnt have to go on long training regiments just to get your characters up high enough to kill one boss. All the training sorta flowed with the story for me and i really HATE training(or building or living or whatever you wanna call it)with random encounters(another thing i coulda gone without)

By the time i got to the end of 9 my characters where crap with no good abilities and the final boss guy(dont even remeber who it is) mopped up the floor with 3 or 4 good attacks. Story was compelling but i didnt like the switching around with certain characters or the abilities going with weapons(well back then i didnt. ive grown fond of it since FFTA:2 came out) but it was still a high quality game to me.

Never said you did. Sorry, that was kind of a mixed message by quoting you in particular. I meant to quote mainly to place some focus on the idea of having to justify what, again, many people have claimed is the best game in existence. More of a blanket statement.

Don't get me wrong. FF9 had a LOT of problems to it (14 hour time limit to get a sword, seriously?), but in my case, I just found it more fun than FF7. Dunno why. I just did. Not that FF7 was a bad game by any means either. (Chocobo Racing is win.)

(EDIT: How the hell did I write '14 minute' instead of '14 hour'? Fail.)

Sacred 2. After about 5 minutes, I realised it - there's nothing goob about this game. Whatsoever.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Spore. Got to the space stage and then never played it again.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Fallout 3, it was pretty engaging at first and there's still a lot of cool stuff in it and it's very fun to explore, but half of the things in the game I just don't give a shit about.

 

[linchowlewy]

Guild Wars Prophecies just out of shiverpeaks but got so bored and can't be bothered to finish the campaign.

I thought you started off in a fight. (but there was a MAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE cutscene though.

Mirror's Edge was just awful. First level was a blast, then after that it just shot downhill.

 

[jockslap]

World of Warcraft, im an active player and i can't play for more than an hour in one sitting without wanting to drive railroad spikes into my eyes out of sheer boredom, i just made it to level 60 and i've been playing for over 6months of subscription.

 

[Baby Tea]

Two Worlds: 20 minutes.

 

[Firefly22]

Dead Space which was a shame since i was really looking forward to it. Oh and fable 2. All the choice given to you.....Until you relize that its all shallow

 

[Nebiros3]

Armored Core 4. It looked like fun, until I started playing. Played that game for maybe 15 minutes before never touching it again.

I hear that. The learning curve was WAAAAAAAAYYYYY to steep to be fun. If your good enough to play that, I applaud you good sir!

 

[Bocca]

I played EVE Online for a day and half the time I was torturing myself with tutorials. At the second real mission I quited and cried.

The other one is Assassin's Creed. Prolly needs no explanations.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Probably Prey. I played it for about a minute then thought... "Why don't I just install Doom3?" I did. I had more fun instantly.

 

[Master Kuja]

Gears of War, finished it once, never touched it again, flogged it to my friend for more than I paid for it, so win win for me.

Also, while I'm at it, Devil May Cry 4, I played through it maybe twice, this was within a week of it coming out, haven't touched it since, don't even know why I still have the blasted thing anymore...-Sigh-

 

[Zani]

Fable 1, after 20 minutes I just couldn't play it anymore, I would rather do something interesting, like see a mountain smolder away...

 

[xenus87]

Probably for me it's got to be Farcry 2. Looked greatand the first 25 mins were pretty good fun..... and thats it.

Travel times between places got dull quickly, especially when every couple of mins a jeep would appear from out of nowhere and smash anything I was driving to pieces, and you end up half dead before you have chance to wait for the slow-ass way he gets out of a car.

Plus the fact that random guys standing more than a few feet away in any sort of long grass/bush/random bloom effect off a rock was near impossible to see until you follow the directions your being shot from.

What a waste of cash that was, shame you can't get refunds when buying stuff off steam.

-Snip-
Assassin's Creed - I have the patience of a saint, but I couldn't take this... past the 3rd assassination... Jeez, I really do have a lot of patience don't I? o_o

No, you really don't.
I was bored after the second assassination and still managed to beat it.
Me = 1 You = Probably a hell of a lot more than 1.

Wow, that's pretty damn impressive. But I must have clocked about... 7 hours on it to get to the 3rd assassination. Then I wanted to play something less boring and grinding.

I think if anyone can sit through more than 2 hours of that game they deserve a freaking medal...

I'll have my medal now thank you.
