Fable 3. I played nr 1 and loved it. 2 wasn't for pc and 3 is junk.
Dragon Age 2. You guys had a good thing going with Origins, why did you fuck this one up so bad? I can't look past mercilessly reused areas and dull characters.
Battlefield 3. The series is now dead to me. The sp campaign started off as 'meh' but once I got on that jet and they put me in the BACK SEAT I realized it was just a tour of their amazing engine with its awesome lightning effects and, oh, you want story and gameplay? Silly boy, sit back and enjoy that scripted explosion.

Strangely enough, Fallout 3. It has everything I like about a video game: exploration, post-apocalyptic environment, allows me to be a sneaky bastard. But after about three hours of stealing everything that wasn't nailed down and stealth-punching about a thousand random bandits and I became extremely bored with the whole thing.
Mass Effect, I played the second installment first on one of my brother's saves from the first game and I loved it and now I should really play through the first one because I want to know how shepard knows Wrex and how Tali joined the team and why Kaidan hates my guts but then emails me as if him and Shepard have some sort of bromance going on and what's Cerberus done to make everyone hate them but the first game is just so damn boring.
I'm barely scraping through and after the trist Shepard and Kaidan had in the second game, but then the unexpected change of heart I thought Kaidan's personality to be a lot more filled out and unpredictable but he's actually kind of plain. Also, I skipped through most of Tali's dialogue because there's far too much of it and I really don't know why she's on the Normandy, I think she likes the engine but that's really depth of my knowledge.

Saints Row, been a fan of the GTA series since the beginning, and I thought "Oh cool, another game like GTA, no one else has even tried that before, should be good." It wasn't. The driving sucked, the story wasn't enthralling. The physics sucked in general. Haven't even played 2 or 3 but I hear they are sillier than the first.
3 big ones for me.
Alice: Madness Returns. The first game was an epic balance between thriller and twisted childs story, in this game its too colourful, too pretty, there arent enough disturbing moments in it to excite the very dead inner child of mine.
Torchlight: Diehard diablo fan hates a diablo clone? Why? Its too easy, too colourful, lacks any depth, i mean you just keep going straight down without even really knowing why? and the skills are overkill... The alchemists kamehameha technique can wipe out a room in a few seconds...
Saints row the Third: Saints row 2 perfect game, you even keep playing it once you finish it cos ya know, youve earned the city, now after being the biggest badass you get transported (for some reason) to a new place and have to start all over again with a char whos still full of himself as if he still owns the place...

Halo. I just for the life of me can't seem to get invested in something with so many freaking driving sections....because I stink at them.
Really any Final Fantasy game. I played a bit of 7 on a friends PS1 and thought it was boring. Recently, I tried to play 4 on a GBA emulator, got the airship, and got bored. I honestly tried to get into it and enjoy the game, but the constant random encounters, skewered difficulty, and pace of the story killed any enthusiasm for this series. The direction of the games after 7 hasn't encouraged me to pick any of them up anytime soon.
