Games you absolutely hate but can't stop playing

[Altorin]

Oldie, but a goodie.
World of warcraft.
Although right now i'm obsessed with getting a character to lvl 55 on my new realm before wrath comes out so i can start a death knight.

as long as you have any characters over the level limit you can make 1 death knight per server per account.

so technically, you could make 49 death knights on release day, if they're all on different servers.

What server your characters are on doesn't matter

Yup. still need to get at least one character up to lvl 55 on this account.

I was just hoping to be able to save you a headache

I kind of agree with N / N+. I have been a fan for several years, I think it's a wonderful game and a great success story, but it's one of the most frustrating things I've ever played.

Some bits of COD IV were just stupid, but then again, trying to do things like run through a field being peppered with machine gun fire would be suicidal in real life, so I could accept it.

My personal selection would be beatmania IIDX. More people need to at least try this just to see how difficult yet satisfying it can be. The music is amazing and you really feel like you're creating something, more so than Guitar Hero or Rock Band. If you become at least somewhat proficient, then you can play most if not all of the songs and have a blast.

But then you start wondering if you can beat those songs on the next difficulty level, and the game just hands your ass back to you, laughing at how far you've still got to go. But I just love it, it's by far the hardest music game ever made but it's extremely rewarding.

p.s... the 1st street race in GTA IV was easy. Sorry to hear you found it difficult, but I too finished it first time with little effort.

I cant stop playing peggle.Sometimes Ill be checking emails or talking on the phone only to look up and find Im playing it when I cant ever remember choosing to. Im sure I could stop if I finished all the different challenges in challenge mode but theres a few I cant beat.

 

[Proto Cloud]

Call of Duty 4. All my friends are on it and don't want to play TF2. Bastards.

 

[Kikosemmek]

Fifa 2008 (I hate myself a bit for it, too).

 

[dukethepcdr]

Any FPS online. I hate them, I'm so not-competetive enough for them, and I'm usually bad at them, but I'm in a clan on Halo and FEAR Combat. Figures.

I'm with ya there. I'm not too shabby in the solo missions if I put them on easy mode, but I'm pretty awful at online multiplayer FPS games too. I especially hate it when I get span killed by some jerk who then posts some comment on the game to rub it in my face. I think it would be cool to start an "all-noob" clan to play online games with. As long as I've been playing FPS games online (about 8 years), I can't seem to get good enough to not be pretty much still a "noob" in just about all of them. That's one thing I love about the Battlefield series: you can find other things to do besides taking on enemies one on one (which I almost always get killed right away doing that). I like to ride in the tanks or helicopters and running a gun turret while someone else drives. That's fun.

 

[Strafe Mcgee]

Um, Harvest Moon DS.

 

[NiceGurl_14]

Harvest Moon here, it's like you KNOW your bored when you play it but at the same time you can't put it down.

 

[gibboss28]

Harvest Moon for me too. Its a farm sim RPG and yet I keep goin' back to it

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Ummm....COD4 veteran....I actualy took a knife and stabbed at my controller....
(it still works though lol)

 

[Strafe Mcgee]

Wow, and there was me thinking I was the only one playing that damn game.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Condemned, both of them

 

[Orig]

Those horribly translated, cliche JRPGS on the PSP and PSX.

 

[Church256]

Geometry Wars. I hate that game but once I start playing I almost can't stop.

 

[Veekter]

COD 4 online.

I don't understand why I seem to like being killed three times consecutively by aerial strikes.

and i thought i was the only person who did that

 

[philman15]

GH 3. I swore off it after being unable to beat Japan on Hard. Also I couldn't five star raining blood on medium.

I've been clean for about a month.

 

[SimuLord]

I'm not a fan at all of CivRev on the DS, but somehow I still manage to pop the damn thing into my DS and play it late at night. It's like somewhere in the back of my mind I'm thinking "this time it won't be an unplayable mess with horrible AI that makes me wonder what Sid and friends were thinking".
