Games You Hate.

Well I am a huge FAN of turn based games. I especially like the older ones where you can create your own party of characters from scratch. To me I think too much obsession with "Real time" has been hurting gaming. I could say more about it, but I don't want to really start a flame war or anything.
If I had to pick some of my most hated games, I'd probably go back to games like "Disciples Of Steel" or "Spirit Of Adventure" that had a lot of potential for their genere but were otherwise just garbage.
There were also some god awful games I played just because they were games for the C-64 back in the day. There was this one space-fighter game where it took an act of god for me to even get a ship out of the hangar at the beginning (which was a ridiculous thing).
At any rate I think the dislike for turn based games largely stems from the mainstreaming of gaming. Most of the truely great turn based games were more or less designed for players of paper and pencil RPGs who at that time were fairly intellectual (as WoTC hadn't gotten the liscence, dumbed down, and mainstreamed that either). I guess you really have to be something of a nerd to enjoy building your own characters, naming them all, and then developing your own tactics around them. There are things you just can't do in real time.
For example when I do real time "RPGS" where I have companions (not created by me I might add, and my hero is usually created from very limited options), I get extremely frustrated with the AI that real time mandates be used since it has my "buddies" constantly doing the most mind numbingly stupid things imagiable. I mean in Fallout 3 when having companions can be more of an annoyance than a benefit I feel it says something.
Wizardry, Might and Magic, Wasteland, Realms Of Arkania, Ultima. Those are the CRPGs that got me obssesed with gaming.
Please not I'm not knocking real time gaming, obviously I enjoy it or else I wouldn't still be gaming. I just feel it doesn't work for all generes, and I would like to see more turn based RPGs and Strategy games.
In the future I figure when a lot of you whipper snappers have your fingers slow down, you'll want quality turn based games as well.
Heh, I said Whipper Snapper and I'm 34.

Just a quick note: Up yours all Halo haters!
For me it'll have to be Grand Theft Auto because it was no fun for me and I couldn't even bother completing the first playthrough because fo how annoying the combat style is and how drab it all looks. Seriously the lack of colour, fun, weapons and drive to keep me playing really made the game boring as hell. Plus the character you played as was an absolute dick.

My taste in genre is as wide as my taste in music.
I don't hate any particular genre because I always find an example I like.
Like I don't like too many sports games but I dig Fight Night.
I don't like many RTSs but I can spend hours playing Dawn of War.
Racing games aren't really my bag but Burnout 3 is one of the main reasons I got a PS2.
But if a game is really boring (No More Heroes) or reeks of laziness (No More Heroes), I will hate it.

Been reading this argument a lot lately, but it makes absolutely no sense.CriticallyAcclaimed said:
I play sports games instead of actually playing sports (apparently you can't do both) for the same reason other people play CoD 4 instead of joining the army and shooting people. I will never experience the thrill of winning the champions league in real life, so I play FIFA. Others may never experience the exhilaration of being shot at without result (to quote Winston Churchill), so they play Call of Duty.
Seems fair enough to me.
I hate turn based because, quite frankly it's like watching a movie. I can accept it in strategy games but otherwise it's just trash.
And Halo, I hate the fanboys, I hate the game itself. A standard FPS that have been overhyped, I can't see what's so great about it. Linear story, bores me out of my mind.
And Portal in a few aspects, easy puzzles, boring most of the time. I do like the humor a bit though.

ok, fair enoughFulax said:
i suppose im just lazy and dont like sports games
then again, i also dont intend on joining the army any time soon, so i see your point
There are two games from Square's PS1 days I truly loathe: Vagrant Story and Chrono Cross. One was bogged down by needlessly complicated game mechanics and deservedly bombed, the other was a pitiful, shameful excuse for a sequel to one of the best RPGs ever.
puzzle games
fighting games (except soul caliber and smash)
and fucking post FFVI final fantasy games (except XII)
sports games also suck
