Grand Theft Auto - I understand that it's supposed to be satirical or ironic or something like that but I can't play as characters who are such unbelievable ***holes as the people in these games... Also killing innocent people bothers me even in a videogame.
Half Life 2 - I'm sorry I'm really, really trying with this game but its just so long and my enthusiasm just drains so quickly.
Killzone - I've really enjoyed every Call of Duty game I've played thus far but for some reason this one I just can't seem to get behind even though its largely the same thing just in space! Which should be an advantage really? I don't get it...

Im going to add another one. Fallout: New Vegas
I don't know why, I should like it, there are lots of things I like about it but for some reason I just cannot get into it. I think it's because I bought it after I had Skyrim and only have it on consoles so I am bothered by the graphics but I could never get into it.
I hear a lot of praise for it so im kinda dissapointed that I couldn't get into it but oh well.

Right now the question is "what franchises still do it for me"? None, I'm afraid.
I grew up on Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. One by one they fell in their own way.
The last year that I was truly exited for gaming (with something resembling child-like glee) was 2005. I had a Gamecube, so I got Resident Evil 4. I also had a PS2 so I got MGS 3.
Then the next generation started. With its brown/ grey military shooters, pandering to the lowest common denominator (dumbing down/ streamlining), DLC bonanza, gimmicky bollocks like Move/ Kinnect/ Wii, shorter singleplayer campaigns and an overall lack of innovation.
Now I am only cautiously interested in certain titles, like BioShock Infinite and Thief 4.
Gaming has gotten big, now it just needs to mature.
