The weirdest reason I've seen is from my girlfriend, who won't play the Dragon Quest games because she doesn't like Dragon Ball Z. I've tried explaining to her that the only thing they have in common is the same artist, but she won't budge.
As for me, the weirdest reason is that I won't play Fatal Frame or Silent Hill because they don't use jump scares and that is the only real scare tactic that gets to me.

I don't like it because I think the character models are ugly.putowtin said:
That's the pettiest reason I've ever had for not liking a game, but that's the biggest reason why I can't play Oblivion for too long.
I can't get into the uncharted games beacuse they are too much like a movie. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'll just watch a movie. I couldn't get past that.
I also didn't play FPS games until recently (I blame Minecraft) beacuse I didn't like not being able to see the person I'm playing as.

"portal 2 is boring.. it has no explosions, guns and background music"
someone I know said that. and now I never want to hang out with him again.
He's pretty awkward as well, so that contributes to things.

Me: Wanna try this game, Minecraft?
My Little Brother: No, it looks stupid.
Me: It's actually surprisingly fun. You sure? I'll help you get started.
MLB: It's got "Mine" in the title. I don't do "Mine"-ing stuff.
Me: ???? (Chooses not to press issue with CoD fanboy and enjoys sandwich)

Lost planet comes to mind. For some reason, the whole, get inside before you freeze to death mechanic infuriated me...
Me: Did you get Black Ops?
Friend: Yeah man, but I don't like.
Me: How come?
Friend: I don't like it.
Friend: Yeah man, but I don't like.

Friend: I don't like it.
Serious Sam for the original Xbox felt way to damn floaty for my tastes. I love me some Serious Sam but to me the Xbox version just felt like he was running on ice while wearing roller skates.
I had a weird thing with the Fallout 3/New Vegas Games. First time I played them it was strange that it was set in the future but everything looked as though it were from the 1950's. Also the fact that everything that's picked up wasn't real but a 'text' in your pip-boy (eg: Iron or shotgun).
I hated the old music and stuff but warmed up to the game second time through as there was just so much variety in it. Pick up whatever you want, collect nuka cola and all sorts of stuff.
Oh, and I discovered that the older/classical music is far more convenient to listen to repeatedly than Lady Gaga or the modern music now-a-days.
.... The whole 1950's thing still pisses me off though.

That's fair enough, I can understand how it might bother people (I'm not familiar enough with Italian and Italian English accents to notice, so what little of the game I played didn't bother me). That being said, I'll still take that over what happened in the first Assassin's Creed, in which Altair spoke standard North American English. I think the game brushed it off by making it Desmond's voice and explaining it through the Animus or something like that, but in a world where every character sounds (fake?) Middle-Eastern, it just felt really wrong. Part of me thinks that they did this because there's a lot of racism and xenophobia directed towards the middle east and most people wouldn't want to play as a Middle-Eastern main character (etc. etc.), but I don't like thinking about this because it makes me depressed about humanity :/ I still had fun with the game, mind.Gorilla Gunk said:
I can't really think of a game that I dislike for weird, arbitrary and/or petty reasons, as I usually try to focus on the positives and as such enjoy more games than a lot of people. I guess you could say Eternal Sonata bothers me because they really under-use Chopin, both as a character/part of the story and in terms of his music, but then it's also mostly because the whole game becomes a mess of random musings whose attempts to be deep fall terribly flat and which gradually replace what could have been an fairly interesting storyline. But I think that's a valid complaint XD Oh, and the musical terms sound like they were assigned as names to characters and places in a completely random manner. That annoyed me. In fact, the whole game annoyed me. It may be because I'm a crazy (classical) music nerd. Maybe.
Huh, well, I don't play much horor games because I scare stupidly easily, but I did play a part of the first Silent hill game, and while it's true that things don't jump out at you every 5 seconds, in my experience there was at least one jump out scare, and it made me actually jump in spite of the fact that I knew it was going to happen. The game was extremely effective on me (again, I'm a huge coward) and I last I stopped playing I had just entered the hospital.blizzaradragon said:
Also, I'm told that Fatal Frame games (which I've never played) make masterful use of jump out scares... was I misinformed?
(sorry if this is a bit of topic derailing, but I *am* fascinated by horor games and want to play them in spite of the fact that I can't, because I have to stop every few minutes and look at something happy and colourful...)
