Ocarina of Time.
Seriously, this isn't any better than the other 3D Zelda games...
It's actually the worst.

"Great" games that failed to blow you away

I'll second this. It was very formulaic. There's a certain way that Bioware makes games, and right now I've just seen this formula too many times. The 'twists' to make a fantasy world unique didn't arise enough (such as the portrayal of Elves) and for all of it's supposed dark elements, they were restricted to but a few options in an otherwise stereotypical setting.Sh0ckFyre said:
The combat was absolutely mindless. The balance was awful - melee had too little stamina, and it was better to just use passive abilities and for the most part let them just auto-attack. Casters were just so powerful that you only needed but a few spells, and all the rest were simply superfluous.
All round I gave it a big "meh"
I only just played the 3D Zelda games when I got my Wii in December, and in my opinion, Wind Waker is the best of the lot. The boring sailing isn't too bad, either, since the game is so pretty. I loved every bit, from beginning to end. EVERY BIT.LordNue said:
I didn't get to the end of OoT, because of the Water Temple, and general disinterest.
Majora's Mask, I didn't get far into, and TP is at the halfway point. Wii version. Which isn't THAT bad, and gives me a reason to use the Wii for something that ISN'T a Gamecube game. Christ, I have as many GC games as Wii games.
1) Metal Gear Solid 4. My fault for buying it. It wasn't like I didn't know that there was going to be an inane amount of cut scenes; but, next time put the movie on a seperate disk so I can play the game.
2) Sims: I don't get it. To me this game is more boring than C-Span. To each their own; but, I just don't see what make this game fun for so many.
3) Grand Theft Auto IV: Still an alright game; but, they're using realisim to suck all the fun out. (needs more weapon drops, better handling cars, and more colors...oh and about 90% less phone calls)
4) Halo: Good game but, it never came even close to living up to the hype as the greatest game of all time for me.

Oblivion; First person RPGs drive me mad! And i like semi cartoony looking graphics.
(Saying that though, I didn't just discard it for it's graphics, winks!)
Final Fantasy Series; turn based ):
Monkey Island; I don't like the humour ):

Oh yes, and Mass Effect. Couldn't even finish that game. Mind-numbingly boring. (My other was Portal)
Portal. There are 19 main chambers. 16 of which are basically one big tutorial for the next 3 chambers with a few actually interesting puzzles scattered around. In those 3 chambers are where some actually interesting puzzles come up that make me start to enjoy the game.
As mentioned above, please don't kill me.
Then the big fire pit thing happens and you traverse the inner workings of the lab. These parts have the better puzzles of the game where you work to kill that ***** of a computer, GLaDOS. Speaking of which, GLaDOS is a very confusing character. She or should I say the people who programmed her want you and possibly previous test subjects dead for little more decipherable reason than "for the lolz" with no explanation as to why she's crazy or why your character is a mute or in the lab in the first place.
At least the abandoned facility is semi-explained with the nuero-toxin bollocks, but not much else. The ending was vague until the recent update for PC which I'm sure spawned more Wild Mass Guessing than the actual game ever did. Hopefully the sequel will be much more explanatory. But if there is one thing I admire about Portal, it's the aforementioned WMG. I've read most of them on TV Tropes and have to say that making sense of Portal with creative theories and reading others theories is more fun than the actual game was for me.
