Hmm, let's see.
Puzzle Quest 2 - I have no idea why, but I genuinely thought they'd manage to make a standard match 3 of the same colour game into something interesting. They didn't.
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts - Banjo Kazooie was great and I thought the vehicle aspect would be less of an annoyance than it ended up being.
Blue Dragon - It looked kind of promising but the voice acting was just painful to listen to and the boss music, oh dear god the boss music.
Eternal Sonata - The reviews were fairly good but the cutscenes were just so sickly sweet and nauseating I couldn't go on.
Final Fantasy 13 - Call me a slow learner. I haven't liked the series for years but I keep hoping for a return to their former greatness.
Gears of War - People insisted it ws great and it was cheap enough. But it's just so mind-numbingly boring I had to stop playing it. :/
Kameo - Protip: Being made by Rare stopped being a good thing the instant they left Nintendo.
Resident Evil 5 - I liked the 4th one but for some reason, this one just annoyed me.
That's just the recent stuff. Going back even further, the list would probably triple in size.

Any downloadable game on the 360
Castle crashers, schizoid,Monday night combat. They all end up being on my friends to buy list until some Fps hypnotizes them for months! Communites don't seem to last long either.

Front Mission Evolved.
I was so excited about the game. Then after the 6 most agonizing hours of my existence, I uninstalled it, and went back to whine about it as much as I could. Bad story. Awful replay value. This wasn't the front mission I grew up with.

well you may not like it but don't just outright claim it's shit . it happens to be my favorite game of all time. I think it has alot of substance great gameplay and intriguing plot and amazing atmosphere you are welcome to not like it but if I might ask why?archvile93 said:
Bad hit detection (crossbow bolts should not go through skulls without doing any damage at all), poor level design that's easier to get lost in then the water temple, the latter of which didn't confuse me at all. Useless plasmids that are mere gimmicks, having the stopping power of an airsoft gun yet still requiring obscene levels of eve to use. They don't even distract enemies efficiently. You'd think being on fire or swarmed with angry bees would be distracting, but no they're perfectly content to keep that hail of bullets from their plasmids that gives them infinite ammo that only they can get on you. Enemies that can take more small arms fire than an M1 tank shielded by 3 foot thick solid titanium, while you can't take more than three bullets before going down even with the best health and armor upgrades. The ending was undeniably bad, defending that little moron from waves and waves of super armored splicers was in no way fun, and why couldn't I just carry the little idiot the entire way than defend her as she wastes time, and why didn't she have the uncontrolable need to extract adam from the other bodies I created while she wasted time with the first one. By the way, I did not make this decision based on three minutes of play, so don't even try to say I'm uniformed. I played through it twice because despite the boredom and frustration I kept playing because I was conviced I was just missing the perfection in there since everyone and their dog claimed it was the greatest thing ever and was greater than god himself with its almighty perfect flawlessness, and made every game that ever existed or will exist obsolete since it was better than every other game, movie, novel, play, television show, and microwave oven in every way.dogsbane said:
well I agree that the crossbow was a bit glitchy . and protecting the little sister was not my favorite part of the game. confusing level design well I don't really see how it was confusing I never got lost or anything like that so I really don't understand how you found it so. at least for me it was emmersive and really made you feel like you were in a city .I liked the explorable world it was interesting and it really helped explain what happened in rapture. of course they not all of the plasmids were great but they were expensive because if plasmids and gene tonics were cheap then the game would have been way to easy. I don't know what happened with you but for me the insect swarm one distracted enemies just fine electric bolt ,inferno,hypnotize big daddy,winter blast,electro bolt were all good plasmids oh and enrage. the writing was amazing for the game better than any other I have played. if you had payed attention you would have realized that only certain bodies had adam in them and none of the ones who were after adam had it hence the ones you made were not filled with adam. the reason you couldn't just carry her was because the whole idea of that part of the game was that you had to act like a big daddy and that means being nothing more than a protector and not a guide if you had just carried her she wouldn't have followed and opened doors. again not saying you have to like the game that's your choice just saying that most of your qualms don't really hold up I will give you thearchvile93 said:
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. It pretty much played like a single-player WoW, with all the fun completely cut out.
On PS3, Lost Planet, I honestly tried tried to enjoy it, but alas no, it was truly shite.
even now I read reviews that say how good it is, but i think they must be insane, a bit like the game.
Nothing else really hits those heights, apart from the disappointing Fall New Vegas, which I'm struggling to get into, mainly because it isn't Fallout 3 ! Shame on you Obsidian !

Black Ops- I could point out several places where the level design was a replica of MW, and the online had nothing new... absolutely nothing, besides those wager things, which get boring real quick.
Lets not forget Borderlands, My god...
I was never more disapointed in my life.
