Shadow Warrior. Kept dying, couldn't grok it, tossed it in the closet.
Of course, that was before I'd really had an experience with FPS's.

1. The Witcher, probably the most broken, buggy game I've ever played on my PC and since it had so much sex in it (I remember getting a sex scene about 5 minutes into it) I put it down as one of those things that perverts and nerdy-RPG-nuts go crazy for
2. Two Worlds, the simple combat system was even worse than Oblivion
3. Jericho, just too gory, and I'm an experienced Resident Evil player (I've played the Remake, 4, CV and both Outbreaks), I did playthrough it, but it took me ages to figure out what I was supposed to do, then the ending was far too strange and (apologies for stealing a Yahtzee word) too much of a cockslap to play again
4. Half-Life, the camera movement made me feel incredibly queasy

Metal Gear Solid 3 in literally a few minutes, I really don't know why I bought it in the first place.
The first Gears Of War comes perilously close to this with me. It was hard for me to play the game more than an hour or so at a time, despite my thinking it was pretty cool; because the Whack-A-Mole combat gets real old, real quick. I personally wish they had created a cannon-fodder class of baddies which did the cover thing, but died very easily (like one head-shot easy). Having to shoot the same guy in the face half a dozen times made the combat a lot more slow moving than it should have been.
Second one added enough non-cover baddies to have me rushing through the game in two sittings, so thumbs up on that one.
F.E.A.R. is definitely one. I think I along with the rest of gaming world was amazed by the demo. Watching chunks of wall getting torn out in firefights and the big clouds of dust was amazing... then you buy the game and discover that you've just played 80% of the game right there. You're going through warehouse or office building, waves of intelligent baddies swarm at you... and no location will ever feel very different from any of the others. Even worse, the second game managed to suck me in after a brief play session... only to have the experience repeated.
Halo: Combat Evolved. I waited a year for the game to get to the PC and I was expecting something really special. Unfortunately for it, Far Cry had already hit, so the vehicle section (which is pretty much the highlight of the game) had me thinking "how do you drive and fire at the same time?"... that and it looked like Unreal to me and I bored silly by Unreal.
Unreal... amazing graphics for its time and the first couple of levels really show it off. But I hated the bot AI of the main baddies. Having a bad guy doing deathmatch style maneuvers in single player sucked.
I'd agree with the OP in that Mirror's Edge appeal evaporated the moment you finished the game. The game play mechanics are just too flawed to make the time trials interesting without the story pushing you forward... but it did hold my attention throughout the campaign.

Lost Planet - one of the very few games that hasn't seen the inside of my 360 after it's initial day of purchase. Other games that share that particular 'distinction' include AvP, GRAW and Forza, but I think Lost Planet takes the top spot for sheer blandness. It didn't even have the common decency to be bad (at least a bad game makes you feel something), Lost Planet was just an exercise in mediocrity that didn't even leave me cold - it just left me bored. And £35 out of pocket.
Half-Life 2 - The pinnacle of sci-fi FPS' it may be, but I just can't get into it, try as I might.
Dead Space - I like the game, but I keep coming across other games that hold my attention for longer.
Agreed about the "after effects" of killing it though.

I know this is a bit moot at this point in time, but all you needed was about 15 or so Incendiary Shuriken. Then he became a joke.Baonec said:
