halo, gears of war, and call of duty.
This may stem from my hatred of fps games in the first place. and before anyone goes "blah blah blah you just played a bad title blah blah play HAOLTREEGEOWURTOOSEEODOODYONE" I played the original turok, turok 2, and half life, and i didn't like any of them.
Mostly because tilting the control stick right makes the main character sidestep like a retarded crab ensuring the enemy getting a perfect profile shot rather than turning right like a reasonably intelligent sentient being.

Some people have said they hate GTA IV, I couldn't agree more.
My reasons for hating the game? Little, spoiled rotten 13-year olds think it's cool, apparantly, it's realistic that you are a little brownish dot on the screen in front of a BLACK background, and pretty much everything Yathzee criticizes about it.

I look at Final Fantasy in the same way I look at Zelda, Mario and to some extent Prince of Persia. It's a brand, not a game series. It's basically telling you what the game is about, how it plays, the style of it, the theme of the plot and so on. It's got to the point where Final Fantasy is almost the studio name, and X XII are the game names. Occasionally this lets them do some pretty neat things with the series (The foreshadowing about the Gardens in 8 just because the headmaster is called Cid, the character design throwbacks in 9, the massive emotional punch when summons are used as nukes in 9, the airship names in 12)henritje said:
So much of the Final Fantasy hate would be completely obliterated if Square just gave them all unique names, or even thematic names like the -Shock games.
Also, cribbing shamelessly from the Movies You Hate thread - Why is EVERYTHING the worst ever? Or the best ever? Is it not possible to like something despite its faults? Can something not be poor-but-enjoyable (Say, Wolverine. Yes the effects were poor and the story was stupid but the fights were kinda nice and the final showdown was pretty neat) or excellent-but-flawed (Say, The Dark Knight)? The tendency towards extremes annoys the hell out of me.
Guitar hero games, how can a literal button mashing game where you time notes scrolling down a screen be considered fun?I thought those types of games where restricted to reaction testers for 6 year olds.
I have intense hate against any game thats console-exlusive, because i put my money into a self assembeled computer (and no I refuse to call it "rig") and a laptop for studies and occasional games when I'm to lazy to move my desktop computer (wich is always), and as a result I don't own a console. Come to think about it, I don't even have a TV. So a console-exclusive is therefor something I can't play, thus I hate it.

Agreed, I hate those games too, but Guitar Hero CAN be fun when you're drunk along with a lot of friends, who is also drunk.slowpoke999 said:

I dont hate the games themselfs but the numbering one day people will be playing Final Fantasy 100
That made it exciting. I remember my heart racing because I had 10 health left and I knew I was about to get into a big firefight. That's why I enjoyed FPS games. With regen, I just hide behind a box for a minute.archvile93 said:
And on your point about these people being right... Why the hell do I care about these other people? This entire thread is about 'popular' things that I, as an individual, hate - not what is awesome and what isn't.
I explained why I hate regen health in my last post, but I mean when realism and graphics take precedence over the fun factor of the game, or the storyline (hopefully, a game will be fun AND have a good storyline, but sometimes - people sacrifice one for the other). I like realism in games - I don't like when a game is made boring by the realism or the storyline takes a seat behind graphics.sneeky033 said:
