Games you hate that everybody else seems to love.

[oreopizza47]

Do you have a game that you just can't stand and yet it seems that every critic and man on the street has an accident in their trousers just talking about it?

If so let us know what it is.

For me it's Portal, I could never really find anything I liked about it, Even the "humour" didn't really appeal to me.

DIE PORTAL HATER DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Halo and WoW
Never liked them even in the slighest.

Agreed... on both counts. I understand that everyone has their opinions, but someone who doesn't like Portal? Not something you see everyday.

I'm not a huge fan of any X-Box exclusives, but not just because I'm a PS3 user. I've played just about all those exclusives, and I see nothing but a brown and gray mess that is cut/pasted from every shooter ever. I hate PS3 and PC games that do it too. I just can't understand the people who hail CoD and Halo, Gears and MoH, any of those, as amazing achievements of X-Box technology, or of any tech.
Also don't get WoW, because there's plenty of equal or better MMOs that don't cost more than a drug habit to support, and it really has no distinction from most of them.
The linking factor in the shooters and WoW seem to be this; they're mediocre in their fields, but everyone loves them because they were the first thing to be that specific kind of mediocre.

Twilight Princess, I'm a zelda fan and I thought it was terrible and boring. Seemed like a linear Ocarina of Time to me.

oddly enough, i dislike twilight princess but for exactly the opposite reasons (well, still terrible and boring). It seemed all too big and unneccessary in places, which they could have totally just cut down on so that i wasn't running around for ages trying to figure out what i was meant to be doing.

Never really got into Call of Duty. I quite liked halo though, but only because i ever played it with friends.
Loved Oblivion and Morrowind, really didn't get Fallouts.
Got into Ratchet and Clank but disliked Jak and Daxter...Though I did stop liking Ratchet and Clank after their second game.
I've tried to enjoy Half-life but i've honestly not really liked any of them past the hour mark. The first hour is usually quite enjoyable, but i don't seem to be having fun after that.

At the moment, I'm not big at all on Mass Effect Two: I don't like how the 'moral choices' haven't seemed to have been as impressive as people claim them to be. I mean, its either completely obvious that I am a complete and utter angel/a very nasty person (You know, the old "child-eater or mother-teresa" problem) or I don't get why that would be a bad choice at all. Okay so I shot someone and killed them, i suppose that is bad...but then why not punish me and tell me I'm evil for shooting his buddies out of cutscene moments later? And why is it that I get good points for being rude to the man who pretty much is behind the reason I am still alive? It just seems so confusing and unexplained at times. I was told it would be "absolutely fine" to just skip into Mass Effect Two without having played the first Mass Effect, but i just don't get a lot of it at all. Plus, the fighting/shooting is pretty dull.

You couldn't pay me enough to play Halo 2... or 3 for that matter.

 

[Radeonx]

Every Valve game has been vastly overrated.
VASTLY. They are all mediocre at best.
I'd also say Mass Effect 2. It was fun, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first, yet tons of people say it is better or just as good.

That's really all I can think of, at the moment.

Call Of Duty

Hate is a strong word, but I find it incredibly difficult to like just about anything Bethesda makes. I've played Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and while I can appreciate they are well made, pretty games, I find it very difficult to get into them. I think a major problem for me is the non-linear nature of the games. They give you a wide open world to wander around and do your thing in and you get a few hints to the effect that the main plot is out there somewhere. I know a lot of people love this, but I'm not one of them.

I vastly prefer games with a more structured approach to the storytelling. Mass Effect and its sequel are two of my all time favourite games. They let you explore a huge galaxy but the plot is always there. You have a few sidequests in a given area and then you move to another, generally advancing the plot as you go.

World of Warcraft

 

[onewheeled]

Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Maybe it's just my hate of fighting games in general, but I just can't enjoy playing the game at all. I absolutely regret buying it on Xbox 360.

Call of duty. I would buy this game to frisbee it off a cliff, and watch the fan-boys go chase it off. I never realised what's so good about it. I've never played it and never will. All my best friends give it bad reviews too. One even said it took absolutely no skill, and by the sounds of it, it doesn't. In a game where people can spawn, knife an unsuspecting sucker then jump around with everyone trying to headshot them until the time runs out to win by a rather hollow 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 victory, it really needs to be rethought (Or burned). (By the way, the first time one of my friends played "CoD" the aforementioned happened to him.)

 

[II2none]

the mario franchise after mario sunshine, it just got old afterward . But he's cool in SSBB.

 

[glitch388]

Hm. Where do I begin?

GoW (any of them)
Halo (any of them)
CoD (any of them)
ANY sports game

I think that is it.
