Things you just couldn't get into

Mass Effect - Played it a few times, tried to get into it multiple times, but I just don't like it. It's a shame because I was looking for a nice Sci-fi shooter type game to play.
Gears of War - I think the reason I didn't like this was because (in my opinion) it tried way too hard to be serious. Plus I couldn't tell what I was shooting at because the grey enemy chose to stand in front of a grey wall. Surprisingly I enjoyed the sequel.

Ya Mass Effect is in essence a story based RPG, with a splash of combat on the side.azure-gaia said:
That is in fact why I liked it over the second one, where they chopped off half of the RPG parts.
But it isn't a very polished game, many many faults and issues, so if you're not in it for the story you shouldn't bother.
Anyway, I never got the whole Halo thing, I played them all for some time, but it never drawn me back, story isn't that interesting(seems very generic, or it was just told that way), the combat is fine but then there are better shooters out there... so I don't really understand the whole hype around it.
Mass Effect - Just didn't like it at all.
Fallout 3 - What's so great about it? Loved oblivion though so I should love Fallout? Wrong, they're completely diffrent, fuck you know it all friends.

RTS - I don't have the patience or discipline to do well.
Anime - I see random episodes that my housemates are watching and think "yeah, that's quite good" but can't seem to stimulate myself to pick a show that works for me and try to watch it all.
Lost - I have the first two seasons on DVD that were given to me for Christmas a couple years ago and even though I know that it ran its course (rather than having the plug pulled and ending incomplete) I just can't seem to get in to it.
Mass Effect - I watched friends play and liked the look of it but (and maybe this is because I am doing something wrong) it seems too much chatty and not enough..action of some (any) sort. Talk less and let me play with it, please. I fear that I am missing out.

Let's see...
1. Watching (not playing ) sports and everything involved with watching.
2. DA:O, the game felt like there was way too much of it based on random chance, which takes all skill and strategy out of it.
3. Star Trek. I loved Next Generation (Picard is a sexy man) but I just can't get into any of the other series.

James bond - I got flak for this last time i mentioned it but I generally find myself getting bored 10 minutes in and doing something else.
Lord of the rings I got into and read the first ovels but just couldn't get into the return of the king set. I can't really watch the movies either because I find that they seem the drag on for a little bit too long on certain parts.

Fallout 3. I keep making myself play it, and then I stop and play something else because I'm bored.
Well, there are a lot of movies I'm not able to get into. Most of them are just because I'm not in the mood at that time, and later delete them while, again, not in the mood to watch them, and I think "I'm never going to watch it anyway".
You didn't even fucking try!
Even though I've never read the books (though I love the movies), I have read The Hobbit, and I liked it. Also you mentioned it being "written boringly" as one of the main flaws of the LotR books, yet The Hobbit wasn't.Vault101 said:
I had the exact same thing!Vault101 said:
So...where does the whole "couldn't get into" fit in?Vault101 said:
You've liked every Star Wars movie you've seen, and just "haven't bothered" to watch the rest. Yeah, again, "couldn't get into"?Vault101 said:

Fucking fuck. I hate when people pull off this shit. The first Devil May Cry was made in 2001. God of War was first released in 2006. Two thousand and motherfucking six!Vault101 said:
Again, "couldn't get into"? As far as I know, not being able to get into something is the nagging sense that you yourself don't want to experience it. Outside distractions not included.Vault101 said:
Okay, first one I can accept, even though I, myself, loved Ratatouille.Vault101 said:
So, you played the game, thought it was awesome, yet you claim you "couldn't get into it", because you're not fond of the graphics? You couldn't get into it, even though you (probably) played it through?Vault101 said:
Okay, again, a fair example.Vault101 said:
A pair of shoewear put you off a game? Man, are you one picky dude.Vault101 said:
things I can't get into?
skilless button mashers (Brawl)
instrument emulators (Guitar Hero/Rock Band) ((probably because I can play the REAL THING!))
grind quest MMORPG's (WoW)
I'd have no problem with an Epic action'y MMORPG **looks hopefully at Fallout Online and questioningly at Dead Frontier** but come one people "kill 8 of this" "collect 12 of this" AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!
and yes I am aware that Dead Frontier does that too, but the quests are a side plot for that game while the main of it is "grab some friends - kill some zombies"

Not only was I not able to enjoy it, I thought Bioshock was total shit. I even played through it a second time just to be sure I was missing something the first time and still hated it. I guess I just don't like the idead of extremely limited ammo combined with enemies that take more hits than an M1 tank, and I'm not talking about the Big Daddies.
As for films, I never got why people like tarantino. They seem exactly like Michael Bay films that had the explosions replaced with gore, at least the ones I've seen.
