Have you ever picked up a game, sat down with it for five or ten minutes and instantly thought "im not going to like this". Mine would be eve online. I did the combat tutorial mined some rocks and was pretty happy. Then i clicked "take me to next mission" 50 warp gate jumps later through the endless boring darkness of space past hundreds of other random cloned ships and I realise I hate the games basic mechanics with a burning passion. If the tutorial mission requires you to sit through 10 minutes of solid travel in a featureless 3d environment, and subsequently with no map, while i have no idea in hell where i am relative to anything, thats a recipe for drollness right there.
Ever had a similar experiance? What specifically disagreed with you about the game?
If you want name a game you loved instantly and why, maybe one of the first lines a character said or an intro event.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I didn't say i have up on these games after five minutes, only that i had a strong sense I wouldn't enjoy them, i do not mean literally five minutes of gameplay was had. Different people have different ideas of what game mechanics are good and which are not. the idea is you see something so core, so vital to the game and think "I dislike this a lot" leading you to believe the rest of the game will also be disagreeable too.
EDIT the second: Please explain why you dislike these games, even if its only one or two reasons, it tends to annoy people when un explained strong opinions are given. Also be considerate of other peoples opinions. Yes they are different than yours, its why its THEIR opinions and not YOUR opinions. Fantastic isnt it? Feel free to disbute a point on a game but keep it civil, the existance of said game is not decided by the opinion of one or two gamers.
