Do people really still get annoyed at things because of legions of fanboys? It's like when someone says "Oh God, I hate that song, it's so overplayed". Why should other peoples' opinions on something alter your own...

Well, there could be a case made for the fanboys destroying the market... FPS's have such legions of fanboys that American game companies are catering to them and stopping production on other types of games. But I agree that's slightly different.Stickman Sam said:

oh my thought was compelte i just hate when ppl so your gay or thats so gay.i really dont think theres anything wrong with beening gay. i was just pointing out the irony of someone whos into a game with feminie male charcters calling ppl who might not enjoy a game full of meterosexauls gay thats like repaul calling brad pitt a flamer
The Windwaker Zelda game.. I returned that game within the hour, everyone said I didn't give it enough time I don't want to wait 45 minutes for me to start getting even a tiny bit interested in a game thats way to big of a pretense. which was a shame because I loved Zoros mask, (maybe it was Majoras)
There are a ton of games that everyone and their mother are in love with that I just never really got into. Halo was a big one. Beat the first one and deemed it "decent", the second one was "alright", and I didn't give enough of a shit to play the third. It lost its novelty a long time ago. I played a good fifteen minutes of Gears of War before deciding I'd rather be doing nothing instead. Which is exactly what I did. I don't know what it is about the FPS genre, I've never been a fan and I've never been necessarily good, which certainly didn't help. I don't think Call of Duty 4 is that amazing, but it seems everyone else does.
What usually happens to me is that I'll like a game everyone else hates. One huge example I can think of is Final Fantasy X. I suppose its because it was my first real introduction to an expansive, time consuming game, but I loved it. I then went back and tried to play Final Fantasy 7, and thought it was decent at best. I loved the story, but the gameplay and graphics obviously left much to be desired, simply because of what I was used to. Although, I think we all can agree how awful Final Fantasy XII was. I was bored after the first hour. I wanted to write a review about it too, so I tried to just push through the boring parts. About thirty hours in, I had to give up. Call me a quitter, but I don't want my video games to become chores. No thanks.

Resident Evil 4. I didn't find it scary, and I thought the controls were absolutely terrible. Can't move while aiming? Genius.
GTA 4- I didn't find the story very engrossing. It was enough to keep me going through the campaign, but the constant betrayals got too repetitive and predictable. Driving was crap, especially for motorboats and helicopters, and some of the characters were nearly impossible to like (Florian, Brucie, Dwayne)

It's strange that everyone seems to be jumping on the same bandwagon for games that they hate, that were supposedly popular... Odd since this is a thread about games that everyone loves except you.
But to keep in spirit with the topic, a list of the rave games that I didn't enjoy:
Raven Shield
Final Fantasies I-VI (As well as XII)
Street Fighter
Master of Orion
Civilisation IV
X and X2
Syndicate Wars
Age of Empires
and games that have been beaten to a pulp in this thread that I love:
Half-Life series
World of Warcraft
Counter Strike (only on a LAN though)
Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
And random games not related to the thread:
Lyle in Cube Sector
N & N+
Team Fortress

There is some reason for that> There are a few terribly popular games that are absolutely terrible, and I think most of them have been outed on this thread.famousninja said:
On that topic, I have a amendment to make: I said I hated all sports games, which is basically true, but recently I've been addicted to the Chinese 2005 version of "Freestyle Street Basketball". Mainly because I'm the only white guy on any of the Chinese servers, but also because I'm better at the game than a lot of the people who have been playing it for a while.
You can also customize your character with the most ridiculously stupid outfits (on the Chinese version, I never played the North American version). You can also "level up" your skills depending on which "class" (position) you play and how good you are. This means no grinding, you simply level up faster for being good at the game. The bad thing? You have to pay for everything to customize your character, as in: real money.
All my mates are so far up Battlefield: BC's arse I can't see them.
I think its' a plainly average FPS with nothing special except the damage engine. That sole standout thing is cancelled out by the idiotic AI anyway.
It's just another FPS, why not go play System shock or STALKER or something?

The Street Fighter series.
To be honest, I can't really see why this series is so popular. it's just a button basher! which brings me rather nicely to the next series
The Dynasty Warriors series
Terrible voice acting, horribly repetitive gameplay, and the AI is laughably dumb.

I viewed it as being more subjective. If all your closest friends went on and on about Guitar Hero, all the get-togethers and parties you went to consisted of lots of attention to Guitar Hero, and everyone at your place of work/school classes were blabbing about Guitar Hero, yet you don't, and never did, give a damn about the game...then I'd certainly say you'd feel that everyone loves it but you. (Yes, add me to the list of people who don't care about Guitar Hero). Even though, flipping through this thread and other locations on the internet, it's plain to see you're not alone. But you're not constantly surrounded by the internet, now, are you? Wait..don't answer that.TheIceface said:
Well, that, and it's just as popular to hate a game as it is to love it.
Heh, I can one-up you there, when I was working at Activision they were doing GH3 in the same room, right behind my chair. I'd just wheel over to their work area at break and watch their fingers bleed as they tried to top each others' scores. Even then, the only shit I gave about the game was watching everyone else freak out over it.Necrohydra said:
I even got the game (free 'cause I worked there, ha ha ha ha!), but I never really play it.
(If I got paid for each time I performed shameless self promotion by mentioning my job ties, I would be so rich I wouldn't have to work.... wait a minute...)
I don't have the desire to do the missions in the game. I just go around beating hookers.Tomoe251 said:
I hate Halo as well - I'm following arrows on the floor but I swear I'm lost, I've seen this same room 10 times.
Final fantasy - Stupid boring turn base, Thats NOT a video game
Kingdom Hearts - Everyone in that game makes no sense, with their darkness and light in hearts and it being eternal.

WoW - a game shouldn't fell like a second job and there is a serious deesign flaw in your game if it's only fun at the highest levels.
Halo 2 and 3, maybe a little of 1 - The single player campaigns are shockingly bad, especially in Halo 3, and the multiplayer is dull unless played with people in the same room as you, even then it doesn't last long. Also all the people on xbox live are **** sponges, which just makes it worse
