Halo. People go on and on about it being the first console FPS (which is bullshit). I've never gotten into the story, design, or campaign mode. Co-op is somewhat fun, and the 4 player splitscreen saw some action in my college dwelling, but that's it. We played FAR more SW: Battlefield.
Same thing here. I played HL1 (which I did enjoy), but everything past that (HL2, EP1, and EP2) was simply mechanical play.Time Travelling Toaster said:
I enjoy HL2 and its episodes for being a huge "game design" lesson and an excellent display of smart and creative use of the Source engine (after all they're its creators). However I never did buy into the Gordon Freeman character and I just can't care for the narrative. I just play (and learn) until I hit the end, but I don't have fun. None of the characters appeal to me, even if the universe is quite interesting.
Seems I'm one of the few though...everybody else seems to love the Half-Life series.
Initially I grabbed Far Cry 2 because it was praised for its story. That may be true. I liked the narrative and characters, from what I got to see, but the never-ending-constant spawn of outposts and enemies is absurdly annoying.Stoic Person Eater said:
What's worse, you can't "fast travel" anywhere. Even if in the beginning it was fun to visit places and explore the land, eventually you got pretty "pissed off" at having to traverse the whole map just to get to a mission briefing, then go back to complete it while being attacked every 10 seconds by an infinite spawn of enemies that popped out of nowhere or the same outposts you just decimated minutes ago.
It's sad...I actually wanted to get to know more about that universe and Jackal.
I like GTA4, but I dread starting it up again only to get a million calls inviting me to go out bowling/darts/etc. The worst part is turning them down lowers their respect of you, so if anyone knows how to bypass this, even with a cheat, I'd be glad if you would PM me with it (PC version btw).
I wouldn't bother with Far Cry 2. Doesn't improve.Hey Joe said:
Personally, I can't really enjoy gun-based cockwaggery like GoW, try as I might.
All of the FF games. It was boring for me and I didn't really like the characters.
The Path. I loved the idea, loved the story, it's just that the execution was shit.

Fallout 3: The constant micromanaging of weapons, ammo, radiation, karma, money, skills, etc etc coupled with sketchy AI and horrible world geometry pushed me away from what in my opinion could have been an exceptionally great game.
Halo 3 Multiplayer: Inability to customize matches and so-so maps keep that on the shelf except in cases of truly great self-inebriation.
CoD4/WAW Multiplayer: I'm not a fan of rewarding players for doing well within matches so that they can extend their leads on other players, as well as giving them better equipment for playing excessively.
Mass Effect: Good game, bad timing. A lot of other stuff that provided quicker satisfaction were available and I just would never get around to delving into it like I would KOTOR.
An older one:
Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within: I never realized how much I enjoyed the tone and stylings of Sands until I booted up Warrior. The extremely dark graphic style, goofy combat mechanics, and darker tone of the Prince turned me off after about 3 days. When the Prince called that woman a "*****" in the first fight, it just hit me in a way that made me thought, "Wow, this just does not seem right." It probably also didn't help that the copy I got was a worn out GC disc that required numerous wiping during gameplay, which kept taking me out of the action.

Half Life - I've never been a PC gamer, so I tried this game for the first time at the launch of the Orange Box. Everybone around me said it was still as good as ever. But all I see to it is a very basic gameplay with physics puzzles here and there, a boring protagonist and a very bad gamefeel overall. The levels are excessivelt linear and there is no decision to make whatsoever. I've tried and tried to get into it, to no avail.
Super Smash Brothers - I love the concept of that game, I think it's revolutionary, but I get so frustrated at the random item spawning that I simply can't enjoy it, unless all items are off, and then the game becomes too shallow.
Street Fighter - I love fighting games, so I wished I could appreciate their most important icon. I tried SF2, SF2 Turbo, SF2 Turbo Remix, SF4, and I couldn't like any of them, even though I am in awe in front of the artistic revamping of the fourth installment.
