I got bored of Fallout 3 really quickly. You end up getting to the point where there's no risk at all, just exploring little areas of interest surrounded by mostly rocks. And it was too dark

Due to nostalgia/popularity?

MarioKart DS.
Starcraft.
Mario 64.


Those are only the ones that I thought outright sucked. I'm not even going to list the ones that I though were mediocre. Too long.

I bought Gears Of War because I heard everyone say really good things about it. But when I played I just never got that into it.

FF 10. I was not a fan.

Voice acting, enough said.
i loved FFX!
exept for that laughing scene that i couldnt skip.
that part made my ears bleed
That is exactly what I'm talking about.
I agree with this. Apart from Tidus though, the other voice actors did not bother me and once you get past the first hour (which was crammed full of cut scenes) I found it a very enjoyable game.

Until X-2 came and pissed all over it.

I actually liked the battle system, but I could not get over the voice acting. I think I liked it better when they didn't talk.

The battle system was one of the best on X I think.

Fallout 3, just finished playing with it 10 minutes ago. Didn't get more than a few hours in, didn't like it, it's gone.

Majora's Mask - First Zelda I played back when I was a kid, and back then I loved it! Rented it several times and always wished I had bought it. Finally, a couple years ago, I found it at a Gamestop(right before they stopped selling used N64 games), and bought it right on the spot. And at first I loved it! - even more than when I was a kid, since I had gotten a lot better at games since I last played it - but as I kept getting into it, more and more bullshitty moments kept coming up, until I finally found myself saying "This is stupid, Why am I even playing this?!", and I finally just gave up on it.

Mega Man 9 - I always loved Mega Man, but I had forgotten how hard that series was, and Capcom made good on their word when they said that this would be the hardest of them all: I only beat 1 level(Gravity Man's stage), and that alone nearly drove me mad, and all the other stages were impossible. Once I got to this one stage with the most elaborate disappearing-block section I'd ever seen, I finally said "screw this!", and never touched it again after that. Challenge is one thing, but this was just infuriating!

I'd say Mass Effect, but it's not that I don't like the game as much as it's that it crashes every 15 mins or so, ugh.

It really isn't the hardest Mega Man, though. It's tough, surely, but what NES Mega Man wasn't? Mega Man 2 probably was: the levels themselves were actually much harder than the bosses were. Heat Man's prolonged stage with those disappearing platforms was particularly infuriating.

After games like Bioshock, though, MM9 was really really refreshing to play. Polar opposites in almost every way.

Fable 2.

I got the collector's edition, and I never did get my activation code.

But I don't really care.

I agree. The ATB system is the scourge of the earth in my opinion.

The new battle system for XIII looks...intriguing.
