i almost feel bad for saying this, any final fantasy or fallout game, iv'e really tried with fallout too its a shame because i would love to love it and be able to talk about it with my friends.
Harry Potter: A good deal of people loved it at some point in their childhood but I never could get into it.
Burn Notice: The main character annoys the crap out of me.
Magna Carta 2: It just lacks something.
Kingdom Hearts: Disney characters and way overused human Characters with too huge of a fanbase kills the whole thing for me.
Lord of The Rings: Like Harry Potter it just didn't interest me.
Naruto: Liked it once can't stand it now.

The White House Press Corps Dinner, never got an invite- nyuk nyuk nyuk.
I never was able to get into Mario, though. They're fun, I guess, but I just.. stop caring or eventually lose interest in the games all-together. I probably only came close to finishing Paper Mario, the others I just gave up on after 2 hours or so.

Team Fortress 2 - Seriously, fuck this game. For being a cartoony FPS, people take it too goddamn seriously, and it's impossible to even play it at this point unless you've already logged a few hundred hours before the millions and millions of updates made every default weapon completely useless. For that matter, competitive multiplayer anything can suck butter from my ass.
Garry's Mod - Meh.
Left 4 Dead - It's okay, I guess, but...I'm sorry, but there's no story, so it gets completely boring real fast.
Warhammer 40k - This is what you get when some maladjusted freaks sit down and figure out how to make a game that's even more of an abject clusterfuck than Risk.
Etrian Odyssey - My best friend loves this series, and, I'll be honest, it's pretty good, but way too much work.
Mumorpugers - I hate people, and all my friends live in different time zones and/or play different games, so I usually play these solo anyway. Defeats the purpose. (Though GW2 does look like I'd enjoy it.)
Led Zeppelin - Most overrated band ever. Robert Plant sounded like a squawking chicken half the time, and I could not possibly give less of a fuck about their lyrical themes, versatility, or technical skill if I tried. That said, "Over the Hills and Far Away" is a damn good song, which, if anything, makes me dislike them more--it says to me that they could write good music and just chose not to.
Katy Perry - Like Lady GaGa, she makes a big overt display of her sexuality, both in and out of her "music". Unlike GaGa, she's boring, safe, and completely generic--no controversy or parody whatsoever. She's completely straightforward about being crap.
21st Century Breakdown - It was just American Idiot rehashed without the catchy songs or the "Hey, Green Day's back! And they're bashing Dubya!" novelty.
Gay and/or BDSM porn - There are just some things I would do but have no interest in watching.
Lesbians - I really don't care what two women do behind closed doors. Exceptions are sometimes made if it involves things I'm actually into, but otherwise, watching one woman wear another's ass as a hat does nothing for me. :V

Shoulda crashed it, dudeCaligulove said:
Have never gotten Final Fantasty and, for the most part, other JRPG's.
The whole Rock Band/Guitar Hero thing doesn't interest me either, neither does Tetris. They just don't have atmosphere, storyline or charm, and I guess they're not really meant to, but that's the reason I can't play them much.

Facebook and Twitter. Honestly, if I want to see what people are up to I pick up the goddamn phone!
TV from 2005 onwards. I really just watch the news these days, oh, and NFL.
First person view games. I like to see what the people are doing, not really interested in pretending to be a character in the game, I don't need to pump my ego by pretending that it is I who is saving the world. Mirror's Edge is an exception, because the first person works there, plus the story is halfway decent.

Every HL after the first, the first is epic awesome great and perfect but the rest..... mje.... but the first is so good so I'm still thinking of giving HL2 ep2 and ep1 a second chanse.... no I won't fuck it all...
Let's see...
Basketball - I'm tall and Black and people are always telling me "Oh you probably play basketball!" "You should play basketball!" "Are you going out to play basketball?" I don't fucking like basketball.
Kill Bill - People have told me Tarantino is a genius filmmaker and he should be immortalized in pasta or some shit. I enjoyed 2 of his movies (Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds for those who care) but I couldn't stand the others. The Kill Bill movies are at the top of the ones I hate, they just irritate me for some reason.
Metal Gear Solid series - I dunno, I tried it out and I really didn't understand the appeal. Maybe it was the forty minute cutscenes that made me feel like I was watching a C movie but I didn't enjoy it.
Halo - I don't like it. That's all there is to it.
Talking on the phone - I'm one of those people who need to see someone face in order to have some sort of non-monotone response and the phone doesn't allow that. I mean I own a cellphone simply for convenience sake but I won't have long conversations on it. If someone says they need to talk to me over the phone I'll tell them where to meet me.
Thundercats - They're anthropomorphic talking cats who fight mummies or something? Weird.
Superman - He always seemed like a douche to me.
Duke Nukem - I was more of a Serious Sam guy myself.
Siblings - I have one, he sucks.
Your Mom - She's ugly I don't see the appeal.
Basketball - I'm tall and Black and people are always telling me "Oh you probably play basketball!" "You should play basketball!" "Are you going out to play basketball?" I don't fucking like basketball.

Oh the jokes that could be made from the Thread Title...
Anyway...
CoD & Halo - Fuck FPS. It's so generic nowadays "Go here, kill this. Go there, defend that". I prefer back in the days of Deus Ex when you had a story and RPG elements.
Star Trek: Enterprise - I loved every other series, but Enterprise just felt so... bland. It also didn't seem very in-tune with Star Trek Canon.
Console Gaming - Okay, this maybe a bit of a generalisation, but as a PC gamer since aged 6, I find the Console controls unnecessarily excessive and complicated. This is mostly with shooting games, where, unless you have the sensitivity on max, you can't turn quick enough and then can't aim accurately unless you have it on minimum. I played CoD 2 on both PC and Xbox360, and I can safely say I FAILED at multiplayer on the Xbox version, due to fiddly controls.

Any Halo after 1 - I played Halo 2 and 3 a bit at a friend's house, but the weapons seemed way too imbalanced (how I loathe the SMG from 2), and I didn't like how the shield became your entire health bar.
Call of Duty/any shooter based on a World War - I just prefer gameplay balance over realism. And as I mentioned before, I don't like the idea of your entire health bar consisting of regenerating health.
MMO's - I hate how the combat is basically like an RTS, but you only control one character. Everything is decided by chance, and a fight is decided by who has the better character/luck.
Pubs/clubs - Sure, the occasional dance is fun for about an hour, but after that I just want to go home. Occasionally, I'll end up with some random chick grinding on me/puking on me, but nothing really interesting happens. And on the odd occasions where I don't go alone, I'll hear my friends afterwards talking about some douche who's trying to start a fight, so that doesn't leave a good impression with me.
I suppose it doesn't help that I don't really like drinking (I try to stay in the best shape that I can, which is especially important considering I train in MMA), and will only have 1 or 2 drinks at most in a night.
Watching sports (with the exception of MMA) - If I get the chance, I'll enjoy a casual bit of playing hockey/soccer/basketball with friends, but watching people play it just bores me.

THIS. totally this. theres really nothing else i can say now because you've said everything i would have XDdementis said:
Reading it almost made me feel stupid. I'd seen so many people say that it was the funniest book ever (on par with Catch 22 and the Highhikers Guide), yet when I read the whole thing and laughed maybe a couple of times, I felt like there was something big that I just couldn't see. I can't remember a single funny line or scene from it. Its reassuring to know that I wasn't the only one.zipzod said:
Maybe there are adults in this world who read big books but still find flatulence funny.
Left 4 Dead: 4 levels of monotonous zombie killing with a limited choice of weapons. If it was a survival game, it could be cool. But not some weird shoot'em up.
Team Fortress 2: Terrible community, and schizophrenic spawn-and-die multiplayer mayhem isn't my idea of fun.
Anime/Japanese games/Manga: It's either kawaii or tries too hard to be badass (I'm looking at you, Devil May Cry). I dislike both of them. Add to that annoying voices, pointless storylines, and annoying animation, and you have a mixing pot of things I really, really don't like. Although I did read the entire Death Note series and liked what I read on Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe I should scratch Manga from the list.
Superman: The guy is invincible and much too perfect. How is that fun to watch!? A character needs to have flaws. But Superman just punches tanks into C'Thulhu then fries the entire third reich with his heat vision before breakfast every day while still holding a white collar job.
Star Trek: The abacus is to computers as Star Trek is to Star Wars.
Most music: Modern rock is all sad, wanna-be-deep-with-my-soft-synthesizers, I-wish-we-were-the-Killers crap. Pop gets on my nerves after a while thanks to the headache inducing beats. Metal can start to sound the same after a while. Old music is old. If I don't like it a lot, I'll get sleepy.

Half-life and I love Valve. I bought the Orange Box and of course I loved TF2 and Portal, but when it came to Half-Life I was just bored.
