The fastest you found out you hated a game

A few mins into Bayonetta demo. I just didn't like it at all.

 

[Tears of Blood]

Well, if we are going to count old NES games, I hated most of those the second I pressed start. Only once I hit the 3D realm did I really become immersed and began to love my games.

As for a 3D game, I have never hated anything I've ever bought. I have played the demos for several games and hated them, and I've rented a few games that I hated, but every game I own I find mildly entertaining at the very least. Certainly worth what I paid for it.

And I hardly remember any of the bad ones that I did play, but off the top of my head, I remember that Stranglehold's demo was just horrid. Hated it with a passion.

I just had to watch the first trailer to realised I didn't like it. The demo only confirmed my initial feelings for it.

It's not like i don't like these kind of games it just didn't stand out as a good game.

whatever game it was where the advert said "blow stuff up, blow more stuff up, blow even more stuff up"

Alone in the Dark, dear god Alone in the Dark! I only got it with my Xbox 360 because they were sold out of CoD4. I had hoped not having high hopes for it would help, but 10 minutes into the game and I was sick of it. Although it seems petty having to press a button every thirty seconds to clear my vision got old and tedious fast. I want to be able to take in my enviroment and see what I need to go, not be forced to deal with some shoehorned in game mechanic which really didn't need to be there.

Hahaha, you clearly didn't give the game a chance, as that "annoying blinking" actually becomes the only way to kill the cracks when you get much further in the game. It's not shoehorned in, it fits quite well. My only regret about that game was I bought it on PC, and it was a nightmare to finish. Still not a horrible game though. My suggestion is you actually get through more than 3 hours of the game before you make a statement like this.

I am not trying to be a douche, but AITD is indeed a fucking terrible game man. The inventory system (LOL U NEED FIRE TO DO ANYTHING), the stupid fucking black inky sludge stuff (LOL DO U HAVE GLOWSTICKS? NO? ALRIGHT MAN BETTER JUST PLAY ANOTHER GAME OR RELOAD YOUR SAVE), the physics (LOL U THREW A FLAMING AXE AND HIT A METAL DOOR TIME TO RELOAD YOUR GAME BECAUSE NOW THAT DOOR WON'T OPEN EVER) and the combat (DO U HAVE ANYTHING TO LIGHT US ON FIRE? NO? ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO RAPE YOU NOW) make that the worst game I have ever played.

Ever.

Do yourself a favour then and never play System Shock II, because you'd be terrible at it.
The whole point of AITD is micro-managing. If you waste all your incendiary ammo and grenades, not my fault. I had alot of fun with all the different combinations in the game, and the puzzles were so much fun, you really had to think laterally.

If the game had actually worked, I would have enjoyed it. All I'm sayin'.

Also, I played the everloving fuck out of System Shock 2. Loved it, but then again, it was, you know, good.

Has to be final fantasy 12 I'm a huge fan of the series so I bought twelve, years after ten expecting a master piece. After thirty minutes i fell asleep (it was that bad) and i was pissed off my head at the time that usually makes games funnier at least but no after thirty minutes of not leaving that stupid city I fell asleep. I had a girl round at the time and not bothering to wake me up she started to play it. Three hours later I woke up she was still playing it and was still in that stupid city. So we just left it on and made out. Yeah so at least I got a funny story out of it still cost me £44.99 though.

Went out and bought ff origins (1 and 2)afterwards and it kicked twelves arse in my opinion.

about ten seconds of two worlds

 

[reg42]

Theme Park, I got it on PSN because I really loved Theme Park World as a child and I thought it would be the same.... It wasn't

 

[NicolasMarinus]

Oh, and Neverwinter Nights after the opening scene. I remember thinking "What kind of stupid story is this?"

A disease threatens the land and your reaction is to start school with a 2-year training period for wannabe heroes? Riiight. Solid governance and crisis management there.

 

[Lothae]

Star Fox Adventures for me, it took about ten minutes before I threw that back.

God that game was terrible - after the initial, frustrating air mission the confusing ground controls led me to chuck it.

 

[little bear]

not sure if anyone said this but... sonic adventure 2. five or so minutes into the game I and hoping I'd still get to race sonic with tails just like in SA1 I come to find all my stages will be played in a bullshit third-person shooter simulator.

And then the son would never rise again on my gamecube.

About an hour into the Lost Planet 2 demo. An entire hour... fighting one enemy... ONE !! If it were not for the infinite lifes, it would have taken me much less to realize that.
Because of the infinite lifes, it was just shoot a few rounds, die, respawn and repeat.

 

[Chrono180]

Fast food tycoon (No joke, my mom got it for me as a birthday gift a long time ago). Took me all of five minutes to realize there was no documentation, so I had no clue how to play it.

 

[Kud]

sonic and the secret rings.

ran for about 2 minutes then turned it off for being shit.

 

[Zetona]

Need for Speed Shift.

I played the demo. Didn't like it, tried it again a few days later. The handling was just as horribly oversensitive as I had remembered. A damn shame.

But you missed the entire point! The handling is a bit messed up, but you are supposed to adjust it to your every desire! It was kind of like half a simulator and half an arcade racer. In the options menu for your car there are countless aspects of your can that can be tweaked, from steering sensitivity to the power of your front or rear brakes.

A fine point to be sure, but every other racing game I've played over the past year had cars that were drivable at the default settings. (Admittedly, I turned off most of the driver aids, but hey, I do so whenever I can and generally I can at least keep the car going straight.)

Fallout 3. I gave it a fair go but the first couple of hours playing it were torturous and not entertaining in any way. I found the environment drab and boring, NPCs (while being pretty similar to the ones in Oblivion) grated on my nerves terribly, I found the combat system clunky and not immersive at all and most tellingly for an RPG I didn't give a shit what happened to anyone or anything in the whole game (except Liam Neeson because he's just awesome but even his melodic voice couldn't interest me in the storyline). The whole time I either wanted to play Call of Duty or Oblivion or something else I knew that would guarantee entertainment.

I've gotten to the stage where I can stand the game but that was only after about 20 episodic plays that built up a resistance to the boredom but I still hold no love for the game at all.

To be fair, you really have to be in a certain mood for it. Hard to explain, sort of an exploratory mood. Still, if it's not for you, it's not for you.

Yeah I recognise that it's a game that requires a sort of mindset to enjoy it but I tried to get into that headspace and it never clicked with the game. I'm really into Oblivion and I love exploring in that game so I think maybe it's just the environmental design that turns me away. I don't begrudge anyone who likes it though, I've just never experienced the awed feeling a lot of players have with Fallout 3.

Plenty games: several months before release.

 

[Jekken6]

Timeshift in about 10 mins. I tried to like it, but it was just fucking horrible.

 

[Kilaknux]

5 minutes into Rise of Perithea, I realised this was a horrible, horrible game with no redeeming features. Oh, haven't heard of it? I'm not surprised.
