Throughout the years there have been games that everyone has told you was amazing but when you played these games you hated them, what are these games?

Some simple guidlines:
1. The game needs to have been popular at some point or another.
2. You need to have played this game for at least an hour, I don't want a fanboy flame war.

That said I really hate Pokemon. It is too grindy and gives me a wierd dog-fightey feeling.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time is my personal pick for bad games in great series. The combat is slow and boring, The puzzles are easy and univentive and the dungeon desing was sucky.

WoW is just too grindy for my tastes. If you have a group of friends willing to play and have nothing to do for a summer it can be kinda fun but once you play a better mmo you find it impossible to go back.

Soul calibur 4 is the escapists pick for most button mashey fighting game, and I agree with them. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.70523?page=1

Gimme your two cents on the subject.

Mario
Final Fantasy 7
Resistance: Fall of Man
Need for Speed (all of them)
Fifa (any of them)

Sports games mostly.
Final fantasy wasnt that bad, the fanboyism just makes me enraged by it though.

I don't get what all the hype about Portal was about.

I mean, I enjoyed watching it from a spectator point of view... the storyline is fantastic but then whenever i tried to play it i felt physically sick with all the spinning around etc. Maybe I'm just fucked up.

Oblivion.

I just found the combat really dull and boring. Don't get me wrong I enjoy RPGs, but the combat was just too unsatisfying and the story didn't seem to care for itself.

Metal Gear Solid 1 (and 4)

And to a lesser extent Halo 3 (I don't "hate" it, it's just way over-hyped).

I'm gonna have to go with the Grand Theft Auto series. I can understand why other people enjoy them, but it felt clunky and frustrating to me. Also I just can't get into the whole "every pedestrian must die" mentality. Matter of fact I find it frightening when I see people get into as much as they do. Hearing my roommate exclaim "Fuck yeah! I blew that *****'s head off! Death is amazing!" (Yes he actually said "death is amazing" >_<) makes me worry a bit about living in the same apartment :x Either way. There's my two cents.

There's not many games that I can honestly say I hate.
If I don't like a game I wont buy it.
That said, I did buy Eternal Sonata and by the beard of zeus did I hate that game.
Though I doubt I'm alone there, I've run into many fellow haters of Eternal Sonata.

Halo 3 shouldn't really count in this case, the hate/like ratio is about even.

Resident Evil Gamecube remake

Being forced to fight an unseen malevolent entity that seeps through every aspect of the game is scary in Condemned 1 and Eternal Darkness.

Fighting an enemy that is unseen despite being two feet away because the camera is focused 180 degrees in the wrong direction is just annoying.
