Games that bore you the most...

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

I find the sneaking around tedious because if you make any mistake you need to start over again, over and over.

Amen.

Fuggin' Amen.

Isn't MGS basically able to play "both" ways? Guns blazing or Sneaking around, if you fuck up, you still have to start over.

Some find it more intense and fun by sneaking around, and vice versa. Doesn't change bad checkpoints at all though.

Age of Conan.

Jesus, this game sucks.

Correct. I really wanted to play it the stealth way but the clumsy controls thwarted me so I had to switch to the "kill em all" approach.

World of Warcraft got bored after getting to level 60. Bought the new expansion, got bored after the small new area. Tried different classes, were all boring.
EverQuestII an ok game but was too much like WoW and I got bored.
Lord of the Rings Online, another boring WoW like game.
Final Fantasy XI, played for over 2 years, but w/o friends it sucks donkey nutters and the grind and waiting for parties gets very boring. The only fun thing about this game is crafting and the cut scenes, really.
Phantasy Star Universe, I don't know why I keep trying to play this game, I get deathly bored in 30 minutes of game play.
I watched some Youtube videos of Age of Conan, I got the feeling I'd be bored there too.
I havn't tried Eve online, seemed too complicated.
I have played RF Online, it's a nice PVP game but it's a grinder like all others.
Starwars Galaxies, an ok game but it seemed dull with not many people playing it, and with all the bugs I decided not to buy it.
Phantasy Star Online, got bored after many years of play, playing it again on private server.
Is there a online game I haven't tried yet? lol
I haven't really been bored with any offline games except ones I played over and over. Oh some do come to mind like racing games. They get boring very fast. I play mostly adventure and RPG's though. Some of the Tomb Raider games were pretty boring, TR2 comes to mind. I liked the Grandia series of games, but Grandia X was boring. Grandia 3 was a bit boring as well. Xenosaga (1-3), I am of the few that actually enjoyed it. Even though most of it was cut scenes (excellent ones imo), the game play itself is kind of dull.
I'm sure I've ran across some other boring ones but none of them come to mind except for online RPG's. They stand out from the others, the shear boredom burned into my memory lol.

Hehe, do it both ways, just add a suppressor to a lethal weapon and pick them off 1 by 1.

It was getting use to the bad camera angles that made MGS such a pain (despite how much I love the series) - I mean, why do Japanese gamers hate the right analogue stick so much that they need developers to make horrible "Birds Eye of View" camera angles throughout the whole game? I'll never understand that.

Makes more sense than the game its self. (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35147.html)

 

[TheIceface]

Any game that requires me to do "farming" or excessive grinding. As far as I can see it, thats just filler material stuck in games to distract people from how lacking and short they are. Its like me claiming that this reply is actually really long and good, you just have to re-read this sentence 96 times.

 

[Copter400]

Runescape, I think. All's fair, I had some good times on Runescape, but...

Set character to fish. Wait until inventory is full. Cook fish. Sell fish. REPEAT INTO INFINITY.

 

[finalcut315]

I get bored the most by games that lack in story,even if they're fun to play I've always enjoyed a good story. Probably why I love the mgs and half-life series... and why I can't bring myself to play oblivion much at all. That, and because I panic when given choices.

 

[Drbog]

Any game made by Cid MIezer or however you spell it also most online RPGs.

EDIT:I just thought of a good one I can't get into FF7 no matter how hard I try I hate random combat and the story is'nt that great.

Haha, Cid MIezer.

Assassin's Creed bores me personally. I couldn't really attach myself to that game. Walking around towns murdering people and leaping from building to building was a fun concept, but it soon got old as the necessity of achieving repetitive tasks lingered on and on.

I also got bored of GTA IV very quickly. It's a spectacular environment, and I love all the little details in all the aspects of the game, but I felt that the gameplay just wasn't as fun as past GTA games. I was also insanely annoyed that they took out the gang elements, as I loved driving into enemy territory and having 3 random fat black guys shooting out of my car window. (I love you, San Andreas.)

 

[SurferRosa]

X3: The Threat. I had no idea what to do and died. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until I gave up and sold the game on eBay. That's what you get for negating to include any sort of effective manual or indeed tutorial.

 

[karn3]

I'm sure this is bound to incure a lot of abuse but i have to say them series that bores me the most has to be the GTA series. Accept of course the original top down one. I've played them all accept the most recent version and i just find them incredibly tedious and dull. I really don't see why everyone raves about them, but equally i strongly dislike WoW and thats ridiculously popular aswell.

 

[Bravo315]

Mass Effect
Halo Combat Evolved
Gears Of War
Call Of Duty 3
Wii Sports
Second Sight (PS2).

I'm sorry, I know I own a PS3, but those games above sent me to sleep.

 

[karn3]

I would agree with Halo. Mass Effect to some degree, but i still enjoyed it

 

[rayman 101]

i found FEAR a bit boring. I mean its a scary game, but when it isn't scary your just go through the same halls, fighting the same enemy over and over again.I'm suprised people have mentioned HL2, because its probably one of the FPS that has the most variety. And I have the halo demo for my laptop, i've played 20 times and I still don't find it boring. It does suffer from cut and copy level design, but it isn't as dull as FEAR.

 

[Erana]

Most games with "RPG" in their description. I know a game (including MMOS) are exceptional when I can get past the cursed and yet mystical level 20.

 

[Huston927]

I think Burnout Paradise is a very good game but on teh down side you are just smashing cars into billions of effin pieces every time you do a race. I also thought i was going to shoot myself trying to get 1000000 points in a stunt run cuz after all i suck at getting points.

 

[MartnRendrs]

spell force 2.
the only variety in the game was how many units you control and if you could build a base or not. furter more the conversation were horrible to many times the characters used "quite some time now" and the quest were lame all the way through delivery, kill this specific dude, build this build that or destroy enemy base.

i played F.E.A.R. too at first i didn't find it scary but it's just the mood your in so don't blame the game

 

[CartoonHead]

I think pretty much any football/team-based sports game. I just don't like sports so find them boring.
EDIT: Except for Sensible Soccer of course, that game was fun!
