- All of Final Fantasy, because combat systems are beyond atrocious and the characterization is non-existent.
- Halo, Perfect Dark, Golden Eye, because console FPSs suck, with absolutely no exceptions.
- All of Call of Duty and Battlefield, because all FPSs where you can't rocket jump suck.
Yes, I am full of hatred for those.

You can have a GREAT OST but if the songs don't 'fit' or sound 'off' for story/situation points it detracts from theme.
Don't get me wrong, the fan-made/official remixes and songs by The Black Mages really make some of FF7's songs shine...
But, in game?
Eh, I didn't feel it.
Dragon Age 2
It took everything I loved about the first game and destroyed it. I loved the faster gameplay and the graphical improvements, I hated the fact that most of the quests were uninteresting, repetitive, and pointless. Also the entire dialogue tree system was stupid and didn't actually give the player real choice. Your choice was either be nice, neutral, or a ***** with all three choices just slightly altering the dialogue. Also having no impending doom like the Blight made the story feel directionless and uninteresting. I hope this isn't the direction Mass Effect 3 will be going.

Call of Duty. It's Grey and realitic. To me it's boring.
I'll play it if there's nothing better to play but I'd never spend money on it.
This also applies to the Battlefield series.
Final Fantasy.
I'm not into them. Never been into the whole turn based combat thing to an incredible degree. Played Pokemon, that's about it. As time goes on Final Fantasy wants less and less to do with the player. The most recent one had a auto-battle feature. That is plain ridiculous for a game. It might as well have an auto win button. You might as well just watch the cutscenes online and just not buy the game.

Actually, the vault was never a treasure, it was a prison built to contain the destroyer. There was never any treasure in the first place and by killing it, you save pandora, as the monster inside was the reason it was dying.
OT:
I can't bring myself to finish system shock two. I just can't, its fucking terrible. I've seen some guy runthrough it and it wasn't any different to how I was playing it, so it must just be the game. I preferred Bioshock.
The entire Halo series confuses me, it just seems so bland.
Oblivion bored the crap out of me.
All critically acclaimed sports/racing games bore me to tears (with the exception of Madden).
Uncharted games were just a collective meh.
All MMO games bother me, I can't deal with repetitive grind. Just not for me.
I highly enjoyed Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, but I hated all other CoD games.
Yeah, that's all I can think of so far.

well to be honest i was pretty young when i played morrowind so i probably did not notice many of the glaring problems. and i haven't gone back and tried to play it since. the problems i had with oblivion mostly involved the retarded levelling system and the terrible loot and max sell price systemZarkov said:
Yeah, but the problem I encountered was the story. I've become immune to regenerating health and limited weapon capacity, but the story felt so underwhelming. It's just too plain. Space Marines fight evil aliens to protect Earth. A story that wasn't fresh even for Halo: CE.someonehairy-ish said:

If anyone - ANYONE - ever, ever punishes you for having an opinion, there's no need for a flame suit. They are petty and they are assholes. I loved Portal. I'd say it's my favourite game of all time (sort of). But you play what you enjoy; you like what you like, and don't you dare let anyone tell you your opinion isn't valid.DanielBrown said:
Right. Okay, sure. *Im* trolling.Peuter said:
I made a entirely new account, and immediatly went into a topic in which a Flame War was likely to develop, Made a post which would likely start said flame war, refused to defend myself in any feasible way, and started Troll-Calling other people when someone might have found me out.
OH WAIT. That wasnt me was it?
And no, you dont HAVE to prove anything to me. I never said you cant like games, what i said is that you said that you disliked nearly every single popular game in the last 10 years aside from Half Life and Mario. If this IS true, then you would only likely play about 5 different games. If not, go ahead and prove me wrong.
Gears of War. A poorly written, poorly paced, plodding, grey-brown mess of a shooter. Single player involves moving slowly from one grey room to another, and shooting the same fucking guys over and over again from behind poorly implemented chest-high cover. Multiplayer ends up like a slower, far more boring Call of Duty with everyone hauling their slow-as-molasses bulky frames around the grey-brown maps into shotgun distance. I like my multiplayer quick and intense (unless I'm playing Battlefield), but GoW is slow, boring and
Borderlands. Where do I even start. Awkward shooting mechanics, a horrible HUD, dumb-as-rocks AI, and completely unlikable and annoying characters. Not to mention a lot of the environments don't fit at all with the post-apocalyptic setting of the game. I might even be able to look past the latter issues if it wasn't for the shooting, which mainly involves standing in one place, shooting a variety of muppets who also happen to be standing in one place, until either you or they fall over dead.
Mass Effect. It has a good story, and excellent graphics. I actually didn't mind this game, however, I really didn't care for the shooting and combat. Not a bad RPG, though another issue might have been that I really don't like sci-fi, Halo-esque settings for games.
