Chrono Trigger. For some reason, I just didn't like. That also goes for RPGs in general.

All of them, of course. Liking any game you play, no more misbuys (that a word?) ever. Easy life.

Except Fallout 3. I think I'm awesome for not liking that one.

Mass Effect. At the minute I've only just started, maybe I'll get into it. But at the minute, I just can't, I'm trying so, so hard.

Half-Life. I wish I could be as ecstatic about it as everyone else but it came off as mediocre to me in every way.
Hooray somebody else agrees! You do mean the first Half Life, yes? Not hl2? Because hl2 is fun, but the first feels like its from the same bag as Halo combat evolved. Both Halo and Hl just pissed me off more than anything. I played both in the space of a week in order to find out what all the fuss is about and left with a foul taste in my brain.
I'm guessing you didn't play Halflife 1 when it first came out did ya? Comparing it to the games of the time, it was so incredibly ahead of its time... well, it just isn't as impressive now when all games have stories built in, and characters, and potentially cool stories.
I admit I had that bias going into it, and I do appreciate that they made an effort to move away from unrelenting shooting. And the variety of critters and foes is pretty neat and all but....

Well i guess I'm just not a fan of the gameplay is all. I hate the feeling that I am fighting dudes for no real reason. If I kill a room full of guys I have proven my ability to kill a room full of guys. Pushing me into another room full of guys and expecting me to do it again is pointless. Other retro games such as Deus Ex are fantastic, and to me seem far more innovative in design. I suppose I have just been spoilt by excellent design is all.

Definitely Team Fortress 2 for me.

I actually am completely unable to see why people like it so much!
Well, that's not entirely true. I can play it, a little bit, like 10 minutes or so. Get a few kills, get killed a few times, it's all good fun. But I can't see why so many people can play it nonstop like they do and keep going back for more. It confuses me, it does. But I wish I could join in with it, I just lose interest far too quickly and feel like playing something like Left 4 Dead, Halo: Reach or Beat Hazard instead.

The Witcher. I have tried several times to get into this game and every time Chap. 2 rolls around and I have to jump ship from monster hunter to detective, I just cannot progress.

Red Dead Redemption. So much hype. So many rave reviews. I didn't like it at all. Same goes for the GTA series.

God of War 3: After Parts 1 and 2, more of the same with updated graphics just didn't do it for me.

Comparing games accross time frames can be very difficult. You just miss out on some of the subtlety. Deus Ex was another game that was amazing when it first came out, but doesn't really age well. I can't even PLAY that game anymore now, because of how ghetto it looks/feels.

Not a game, but I wish I could enjoy First Person Perspective. I don't like having my choices limited, even though I probably wouldn't bother with most FPS.

Bioshock. I'm sorry, but the gameplay was so unbalanced, I didn't even have fun. Shooting bees at people is one thing, spending half an hour to kill enough spilcers to get a F***ing med kit is another.

Any command and conquer after westwood, I loved the series it was great until EA bought them out because their selfish, then they removed the good factors like the tiberium fiends! The god damn tiberium lifeforms. They didn't focus on if it looked like a command and conquer game they just made a rts game based on gameplay and shat the title
