Games that were ruined for you?

Portal. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game. But after hearing so much "The Cake is a lie!" and that bloody companion cube, when the time came to burn the thing I really couldn't care less.

I didn't care for the cube either... mainly because I only spent 10 minutes with it, tops.

Luckily though Portal was largely "saved" for me because when I saw all the spam start to emerge I stayed off the 'net 'til I'd played it.

(I suggest you do the same the next time there's a game you want to try out but which is too popular for its own good, it does wonders I promise!)

Haze as all the storyline was in the trailers.

GTA 4 The whole having to spend half an hour to get to the mission start is okay once but having to do it with every re try is just damn annoying. I know they sorted out the checkpoint system in The lost and the Dammned which makes me think why can't they patch the main game. I really struggle to find the motivation to continue with it.

Probably every game that I played and I knew that it had cheats implemented.
God damn THE TEMPTATION.
I usually thought that it will turn fun, challenging gameplay into EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE, but it usually turned entire game into something extremely boring.

all i can think of is poor design/development e.g. killzones aim delay
