The fastest you found out you hated a game

LOTR:Conquest got midway in to the tutorial mission...

 

[koeniginator]

RPG maker 2 for the PS2.
It said on the back of the box that it was "easy to use"

It was in fucking binary or something.

 

[DomEReapeR]

10 minutes into Dawn of war 2 when i realized they had deleted everything i liked about the first one.

 

[Viking Incognito]

One piece pirate carnival, 15 minutes.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Two Worlds.

Ohh how much I hate that guy

Oddly enough, my SECOND playthrough of Mass Effect. After playing through Silent Hill 2 and the Metal Gear Solid series, I decided that I'd replay this game that I remember being good. Before I beat the first level, I realized that despite the amazing story, atmosphere, and depth, the game was not FUN.

2 minutes watching my cousins play Superman 64 was enough for me

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

10 minutes into Dawn of war 2 when i realized they had deleted everything i liked about the first one.

I was dissapointed too, but i havn't given up.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Went up a hill. Ran cross country, Died. Repeated serveral times. I then sealed the CD away somewhere safe, it was obviously a stress-inducing nightmare device.

Call of Duty 4, 10 minutes and i was done with that generic piece of crap

 

[shotgunbob]

5 minutes with The Conduit when I discovered it had no local multiplayer.

Local wasnt the issue, they never finished the multi in 1 out of 5 games youll spawn into a wall and cant move and you have to reset your concole, not to mention the glitches hacks and bs.

Plus the single player was incredibly linear and they just copy and pasted the same hallways

any james bond game besides goldeneye

 

[hypothetical fact]

Death tank for the xbla, the flash tank games you can play for free are better than that crap.

 

[dalek sec]

About ten minutes each for FF7 and The World End With You.

 

[Alkestes]

Probably Oblivion for me. It took about five minutes for the disappointment to begin, after noticing that my favourite race, Argonian, was able to wear boots like normal people. AND THEY REMOVED SPEARS ENTIRELY. And no levitation? Honestly, what were those monsters at Bethesda thinking?

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Infamous. Several minutes in I realized something wasn't quite right and after I got to the second island and realized I had to go into the sewers again ... I just said no ...

Prototype as well ... just couldn't get into it

This is for a game you actually bought/rented/played, not one you saw the ads for and dismissed. What was the fastest you realized the game was bad or not worth your time? What game was it and why did it fail your expectations? Try to be specific as to what didn't work.

Mine was 5 minutes with Jade Cocoon 2. It had none of the deep story elements of the first game, and it was chock full of cliches.

Your turn.

Awesome choice of Avatar, I'm a big fan of Etna and think she deserves her own game.

Otherwise the actual fastest record would probably be this Zaxxon clone I played on the C-64 for about 15 minutes. It was so bad at the time I can't even remember the name. But at any rate the game would start where you had to fly your fighter out of a launch bay and the controls were so bad I just couldn't do it, so I couldn't actually get on with the game.

I bought spiderman 3 ,2 hours later , i went down to my local blockbuster to trade it in while it still had some value ,got oblivion never looked back ,seriously i don`t get how managed to ruin nearly everything that made spiderman 2 one of the suprise gaming hits of 2004

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

I can't remember any other games so i say this... When they told me "Yeah we access your genetic memory and feed it into your brain" i was just: WHAT THE hell, HUMANS don't have a genetic memory you assholes" Broke my immersion and even though the game itself was pretty ok... not good. i always thought: "BULLSHITBULLSHITBULLSHIT". Couldn't really enjoy the whole game.

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.

You mean the 10 to 12 hours spent going to a city, pickpocketing 3 dudes, assassinating then rinsing and repeating? Yeah, I'm not a fan of doing the same thing 9 freaking time.

It was maybe an hour with Dead Rising?

Note: I'm one of few people -- as I understand it -- that enjoyed the Pokemon Snap game, so I thought to myself, "Cool, I get to take pictures and fight zombies and look silly. Plus, everyone loves it; this should be awesome."

15 minutes in I have the sneaking suspicion that this game isn't for me. I hate the combat; I hate the escort; I hate the save system; I hate the movement of the character; I hate the tiny inventory. Even if it is meant to be an inventory management/survival scenario, I hate that I can carry either an apple or a weapon but not both, especially when items don't stack and weapons deteriorate.

After a rescuing a few people and getting murdered a few times over by NPCs. I thought to hell with this; I haven't popped it in since.
