Games you've been roped into against your will?

[Simalacrum]

No.

I don't want to play a game, I don't play it.

No one can tell me what games to play - I probably know more about the game than them anyway.

One of my wap friends once suggested Okami to me, and so I rented it. I trudged along through it, trying my best to ignore the long-winded cutscenes and terrible Wii controls, and after the FIRST HOUR still hadn't gotten me anywhere important, I gave that crap up. Then when I told him, he got onto me about how I was just an inch from the game, and he lent me his copy. I got through, and have thus concluded it's an ok game, except that he still won't get off my back about finishing it.

Anyway, another time when I used to tutor one of my friends in Latin, I'd stay after for a few minutes so he could show me his first person shooters, Counterstrike and Turok, I think. I went along with it just out of politeness. Blech, I HATE first person shooters...

Resistance: Fall of Man. I played the first couple of levels but I wasn't impressed.

I have been forced to play some games but I also then sometimes enjoy them. The only one that I can think of that I didn't like, although it has been said a few times, is HALO 3

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

army of 2

*shudder*

 

[Drudgelmir]

WoW, it was the worst hour I ever spent on a computer.

 

[InsanityRequiem]

Assassin's Creed. I couldn't get past the first... 20 minutes. And to me, it was horrible.

All my friends constantly talking about how amazing RE5 was finally got me to play it, and what I played was easily one of the worst games I've played this console generation. Having those controls was a moronic decision and didn't make the game "scarier", it made them frustrating since it was always the controls, not the enemies, that got you killed, it actually managed to make the standard Resident Evil inventory system worse by making it unintuitive and awkward to use and in the single player game I'm pretty sure they programmed Sheva's AI to actively work against you. I guess the African setting was kinda neat, but instead of making the most of it the game had a tendency to stick you in boring, generic factories, warehouses and other places you've been a million times in games set in places that aren't Africa.

Agree with all your points, but it is a fantastically satisfying game to play if you're just killing zombies and nicking treasure. The controls are awful, granted, but point blanking a zombie's face with a shotgun feels amazing, and the graphics really are second to none.
You can sort of understand why they made the game like it is - they weren't so much design choices as tradition but I still think it's a decent game, even if it's really dated.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Spiderman Friend or Foe. Seriously, I got an apology from my friend who got me to rent it.

 

[fragile_bandwidth]

Final Fantasy 11
Seriously, when are they going to stop making them?

 

[prophets0f]

World Of Warcraft, my retard friend made me pay like 90 dollars for a repetitive annoyance of a game.

 

[squid5580]

1 Vs 100. It is pretty fun though.

 

[mokes310]

Gears and Resistance thanks to an old roommate. Two games I had absolutely no interest in playing, yet somehow, I found myself purchasing them.

 

[irtaco]

My friends got me playing Wow even though I didn't wan't to. Just now ended my subscription.

 

[Boxes_Of_Boxes]

Second life. fykein' SECOND LIFE! In the first 2 days my friend had had 7 abortions, 90 "lolnoob gemme Lz!!!", and 60 "Take off your shirt!"

 

[rabidmidget]

I was roped into WoW, which started the steady decline into the subhuman I am now

 

[Mstrswrd]

No. I don't want to play it, I don't care if I have to sit there watching you. I'm not playing.
