The fastest you found out you hated a game

[brucelee13245]

Mine was when my friend threw in the bouncer for the ps2. The title screen made me hate the game off the bat. It went : the BOUNCER!!!!!!!!. good lawd.

 

[oppp7]

The first game of Celebrity Deathmatch I wasa bored halfway through. Worst game I've ever played.

 

[Kiutu]

Right after I found out zombies dont die without fire in a Resident Evil game. Forgot its name. It turned me away from the series until 5.

About 15 seconds in to I Want To Be The Guy.

"Huh. Okay: No."

then it did its job.

Depends on how you define I Want To Be The Guy's job.

If you define it as "being a flash game whose purpose is to be deliberately as ball-breakingly annoyingly hard as possible" then yes.

If you define it as "being a flash game that is a well-balanced and entertaining way to spend an afternoon" then no.

ask anyone, its job is the first.

I'm anyone. I Want To Be The Guy's intent was the first, but a game's job is the second.

Quest 64, 1 hour in I was bored as hell.

 

[Massecurr]

Final Fantasy crystal chronicles my life as a dark lord.After i realised the game play takes about 5 seconds to set up and 10 minutes complete a round.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Assassins Creed, I just was not feeling it. It screams "Quantum Leap" to me.

The first 5 minutes of Assassin's Creed is crap but the rest of the game is good.

This... and AC2 is even better.

Um, I think my vote has to go to Mirror's Edge. I spent a lot of time in the demo repeatedly failing the bit where you have to disarm the gun-toting woman and then NOT shoot her. I mean, really? Disarm, shoot in face, giggle like a loon, repeat. For about 15 minutes. That was great, but when I eventually got onto the actual game bit I realised it was crap and abandoned it in less than ten minutes. Just... so pointless.

The first 20 minutes of Final Fantasy XII. I made it through the opening cinematic and about 5 minutes of real gameplay. I kept playing for about 2 more hours total before getting rid of the game. Just not my style.

Exact same thing happened to me. I loved Final Fantasy VIII so I figured I would like this too. First thing I noticed was that I hated the setting, the characters, and the way they talked (old timey). I loved all the modern-ness of FFVIII and they took that out of XII.

I gave it a little while longer, but eventually I just couldn't play it anymore.

Luckily it was only borrowed.

For me had to be 10 minutes into Infinte Undiscovery...

 

[Giest118]

Fallout 3.

The intro was masterful, but after that, it seemed like so much pointless.
Also, the combat felt imprecise.

 

[Baralak]

Oblivion- Wait, you honestly expect me to call this boring pile of crap an RPG?!
Fallout 3- See Oblivion, then compare this to Fallout 1 and 2 and cry
Most FPS, especially any on a console
Kingdom Hearts- hated the idea from the get go, but the horrible gameplay in both it and 2 cemented my hatred of this franchise...

 

[SantoUno]

Mirror's Edge. Before the demo was even over I hated that game with every bone in my body. Just something about it that I couldn't stand.

Awww same here, the fact that I couldn't properly jump up crap was annoying.

For me it undoubtely goes to Morrowind. "Oh this game was favorably received! And it has two expansion packs! This is gonna be awesome! Wait, what the fuck? I can't hit the rat!? That stupid rodent is gnawing at my feet and I can't even hit the damn thing! I'm swinging my dagger like a damn retard and I can't even hit the damn thing! What kind of a broken game is this!!!?

Yeah, fuck that shit.

A friend of mine lent me Magna Carta. The influence one had over the characters and their moods was interesting and encouraging, but after I fought through the first forest and got to the first boss fight (maybe 20 minutes in?) I realized that with all the characters sharing one "Time to attack" meter, there's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to use ANYONE but your fastest character. Fuck that.

Right after I found out zombies dont die without fire in a Resident Evil game. Forgot its name. It turned me away from the series until 5.

Errr... what? In all the games, the zombies will die if you shoot them enough. A couple special types might require fire (though I can't remember any) but those guys must be few and far between.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Breath of Fire.

I found it so disgustingly generically JRPG-ish right after the first cutscene.

 

[BatOtaku13]

i downloaded the demo of dark sector from the PSN, played it for 10 minutes, and realized just how awful that game really was. it was the first demo i refused to finish and i deleted it from my PS3 afterwards. god, fuck that game.

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

10 mins of Assassin's Creed 2 so far was the fastest >.>

Wasn't worth the rental money for me. Maybe I just got bored by the color scheme, and got sick and tired of those damn guards chasing after my ass when I haven't even put on the assassin's cloak yet.

Can't say for others yet, but I can tell you there was one that was faster, it was a Jrpg that had an army against an army with you telling this guy to attack, then another guy to attack this guy, so really it was like playing any of the older Final Fantasies but with like...50 guys fighting against another 50, and I gots CONFUSED....

 

[Ohten]

I'd say about ten seconds into the opening cinematic for Final Fantasy X. You essentially play as Asian J-Rock Kobe Bryant with a near-fetish for crying like a little schoolgirl once things fall to shit rather than sacking up like other FF heroes have. Even Cloud doesn't whine as much over the entire expanded FF7 universe as Tidus does early on.

Wasn't that the remake of the original on the Cube? Those damn Crimson Zombies or whatever the hell they were called. Pretty sure you could only finish them properly by dousing them with gasoline and lighting them...but then again, I only played the remake for about an hour before I was disgusted and turned it off.

 

[TimeLord]

Golden Axe: Beast Rider

3.24 seconds from start

 

[sarcastic]

I'm going to get hated for this, and keep in mind, I REALIZE the power of the game lies in narrative and mood (both of which are based on graphics and sound quality.)

Two minutes with Silent Hill 2 told me that it doesn't hold hold up technically. At all.
