Games that EVERYONE loves but you don't?

Shadow of the Colossus is the big one for me. While I loved Ico, I can enjoy open ended worlds to go about your own pace, giant monsters, and I can get by with just wandering around in more or less empty sections (Wind Waker, Fallout, etc), Shadow of the Colossus just never hit the point where I had fun with it.
It's like Citizen Kane for me. I can understand why people see something great in it, I can understand the artistic and technical aspects that enhance it so highly, but to me it's just a boring experience which I never can last long trying to enjoy.
Star Craft I and II. I prefer to take my time, build huge armies and bases, feel like I'm going to conquer with a real force. These two games and some other RTS, it's speed focus and ability to swarm effectively so often just doesn't fit the experience I'm seeking. Of course I never got much into multiplayer for any RTS outside of Total Annihilation.
Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Nintendogs, Sims, Sim City, and so on and so forth. Life simulations have never entertained me and any joy I get out of it is quickly left behind once the initial novelty of it wears off. The only exception to this is Sim Tower. Not sure why, perhaps because it was originally designed around to feature functioning elevators programming, but I've enjoyed playing it.
Gears of War series. I can't even get past thirty minutes of the game as I just can't stand trying to control the character around. I don't give a damn about meat heats or over the top gore kills. Cover system is nice, but when nothing else feels right to me to play I just don't see much point in continuing to play. Lots of fun for others, but for me it's never going to be unless they somehow turn everyone into giant robots and fight over Energon.

How was any potential wasted in Bioshock? If you mean the second one then yes I agree,but the first had the best narrative I have ever seen. Enlighten me on this.Fingerlicking said:
Fallout 3, the story IMO is bland and the only reason why it is long is because of the long exploration, random sidequests you pick up and because your father keeps illuding you because it seems that you always come to the place he was just in 5 seconds too late. Then you find him and poof he's dead, then you retreive the G.E.C.K then you break out of the Enclave, beat them. The end.
I don't know why it gets so much credit the gameplay sucks, the morality is broken ranging from jesus to devil incarnate and then the greedy middle ground. As a shooter it sucks, most of the time I find myself waiting for V.A.T.S to recharge again to kill the guys, to make the game fun I had to start talking to myself pretending I was the character. A.I is retarded randomly attacking enemies I do not want to draw attention from and then standing there and letting everyone attack him/her instead of running.
So IMO (remember the O stands for Opinion so I can't be wrong) MW2/Halo 3/Gears of War > Fallout 3, at least they can be fun.

This thread is pretty ironic. It's about games people think everyone like yet they hate. Though, almost all of the games in this thread are either Call of Duty, Halo, Half Life, WoW, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, and so on. I'm just saying.
~Mass Effect 1 & 2.
But I do like to play Dragon Age.
~Assassins Creed 1 & 2.
I like all stealth, hunt and kill games, but can't like this one for some reason.
~Gears of War 1 & 2.
Stop being angry please, smile, hug and stop killing off the Carmine bros.
~Final Fantasy games after I think it was III.
For some reason I can't like them after III
~WOW.
Just never latched on. Felt a bit tiresome to me, but everyone has their tastes I guess.
~GTA games.
Never liked their formula.
Also I am laughing my bum off at how many people hate Halo in this thread.

Aw man, loads of things. I hear loads of praise for Fallout 3 though. I played it for a day and totally couldn't get into it.
CoD. Played them to death. Generic online FPS
Halo. Rinse and repeat
WoW. Boring.
Oblivion. Boring

Why all the Halo hate? I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm a fanboy but, it's not a bad game. Has a good story too.
CoD is overated. Minimal differences between each game, and now Black Ops, in my opinion, is...
1. Money, money, moneymakin'
2. Copying Reach (Similar customisation, cR system, there is more but can't remember right now. All this just happened to be announced soon after Reach revealed more.
3. Once again, minimal changes.
Yes, im a Halo fanboy, but if i wasn't i would still think this.

Every Final Fantasy game. I tried, I really did, but I can't get into that crap. It's too retarded for my taste. Guys that look like girls don't help their case at all either.
Also Halo. It's just a bland unimaginative mediocre console shooter. There is absolutely nothing spectacular about it.

Final fantasy, Halo, Metal gear solid, warhammer (cept dawn of war 2, actually enjoying that)
and in the non vidja related categories. macs and xbox 360s
Fanbois may now light their torches.

Wow, you really do hate the games that everyone love. Out of curiosity, you mean the original Half Life, right? I can understand that someone doesn't like it if they start playing it now. But when it came out couple of centuries ago there was nothing like it. It was the best FPS on the market.legion431 said:

Myst. Yeah okay, maybe a lot of people didn't LOVE it, but they respected it. Even people who didn't really like the game, for some reason seem to love Myst. Myst defies logic.
...I thought Myst was easy :\ I played it, beat it. Didn't really give it a second thought, other than saying "what was all that fuss about?"
If you won't let me have Myst.. Then I will take the obligatory "I hate Final Fantasy VII" for 300 please Alex.

The Halos. When it was going to be PC-exclusive it had a lot of promise, but then Microsoft sold us down the river.

A better use for the Modern Warfare disk is as a Frisbee
I do not suck at FPS, I don't hate them Because I'm bad at them, I have many very good reasons that they can all fuck right off, and none of them have anything to do with my skill
