Weirdest Reason For Not Liking a Game?

[JANK13]

Project Snowblind?

The weirdest reason to hate a game I heard came in two parts.

1. Someone who said that no iron sights would make Half Life 3 not relevant in today's world. >_<...Bullshit.

And 2. Someone who said that iron sights would ruin the whole game of Half Life 3. >_<....Also, bullshit.

 

[Nuuu]

Half Life makes me a little bit nauseous.

I wish it didn't, because beyond that it's a fine game.

Actually, thats not wierd at all, and in fact many people have the same problem.

I hate when games make that side to side swaying when you sprint, like in borderlands, for somereason, that just hurts my eyes, or makes me motion sick, i can't remember which, but by judging how i got by portal 1+2 just fine, im going to guess it just hurt my eyes a lot. I know games are going for realism, but do you really need to shake your head like that every step you take in a sprint?

I don't like some FPSs that don't let you aim down the sights. I don't know why, games like Left 4 Dead or TF2 would be ruined if they added sights, but I really like sights in games that aren't fast-paced.

I'm the same way.

It feels much more natural to me.

OT: The Battlefield Series because of the fans.

I've never heard one person, not one, say that it was gonna be a good game. All I've heard is that it's going to be better than CoD.

Is that how we are measuring games nowadays? Them being better than other games?

I don't like El Shaddai because it beat me to death with ads. And they weren't even good ads, either.

my friend dislikes half life 2 because of this:

me "look it has an awesome story and it is far superior to any shooter out there!"
my friend "well, i dont like shooters so its not even worth my time"
me "but the storys really good!"
him "what, walk down a corridor, shoot some people and then get a 5 second cutscene? yeah im not falling for it"

didnt know what to say just then

I liked Fable 2. But I've stopped playing it for the exact reason I thought I never would--the bright, vibrant areas. In a world of gray and brown, I didn't hesitate to pick up Fable 2 after seeing a screenshot of Oakfield (also, it remains the only fantasy game I have that isn't Brutal Legend, which, on consideration, is a music game, not a fantasy one). But their god-awful "motion blur (read: afterimage)" technology made my head hurt whenever I wanted to sprint, which, naturally, was all the time. Combining such a high bloom effect with fast movement on regular occasion is never a good idea.

I LOVED the concept of Brutal Legend (upon playing the demo) but after watching a friend play through it... RTS mode, RTS mode, RTS mode. Killed it for me. Completely. I don't mind RTS but I had high hopes for a heavy metal hack n slash bloodbath game only to be slapped with running back and forth across a field commanding minions and gathering resources v.v

Also, I had a friend a long time ago that didn't like Final Fantasy because: "Why do they stand still 10ft from each other and only run up to attack once, then run 10 ft back to their place??"

GTAIV was pretty fun, but the disc just tasted so awful.

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

I will forever love the person who can tell me the name of this game.

I bought a game on the recommendation of an employee at a local game store and returned it the next day cause... "the dude runs funny"

It was some spy/action shootery thing. On the xbox I think. Project something or other I think. I dunno.

Alpha Protocol? Might not be the game you're thinking of, but his crouch/sneak run thing just about killed the game for me as well. Strange eh?? But I couldn't get my head around it. Plus the whole cheesy 'life of a spy' thing, the groovy protagonist reminded me more of Test Drive Unlimited for some reason.

Syphon Filter?

Holy christ yes!!!

Seriously, what was up with dude and his freaky running.

 

[Koroviev]

The people in Oblivion are creepy. Also, the music in SMT: Devil Survivor is terrible. I'm talking five-second wailing guitar loops throughout lengthy turn-based strategic battles. Not an acceptable combination.

 

[TheCrownlessKing]

El Shaddai, I will probably never buy because after seeing it advertised so much on here I just got sick of it.

 

[Kitten DeLux]

The entire population of racing games.
Never any Australian cars just the 2 current V8 super cars.

 

[Austin Merida]

I find it harder to like any game without the ability to climb things. Especially when, like killzone 3, they make you do some stupid 2 man foot-on-hands boost thing, when the obstacle is clearly within reach of your well muscled character.

 

[Pietho]

World of Goo
Just can't get past the name. Part of my brain always says, "Listen, if you guys aren't going to take this serious than why should I", while another part is playing 70's porn movie guitar riff.

 

[Gyrefalcon]

I want to try Assassins Creed II or Brotherhood but I just can't get past the godawful Italian accents.

I know they're in Italy but I've seen plenty of Italian movies and I know nobody talks like that. It's like they got Mario's voice-actor to voice everyone.

I couldn't play one of the later Dinotopia games because I could not accept the Scottish accent that got thrown at me. So I feel ya there.

I didn't like Madden for a long time because it was a sports game. Now it's just...meh.

You should do what I do: Take your team of choice (New Orleans Saints FTW!), and make all of their players cartoonishly overpowered. I took every starter on the Saints and increased all of their stats to 99. Now I bulldoze through every team I play against. I found it pretty funny to have Drew Brees throw for 1,047 yards and 14 touchdowns in a single game.

I also made a custom team where both lines are all the exact same guy, 6'11" with max stats named Cloned Superhuman, a running back (6'11" maxed out) named Goddamn Minotaur, and receivers and a QB all 6'11" maxed out with humorous names. It makes things really fun when you're winning 167-0 =)

OT: I despise the Uncharted games because they do absolutely nothing original or interesting, yet are universally praised as some of the best games ever made. About halfway through I set Uncharted 2 to "Very Easy" difficulty just because I wanted to get through with the damn thing faster. I can't get past a completely generic, run-of-the-mill adventure/shooter game being so highly praised because they're exceptionally pretty. I don't begrudge the people who enjoy them, I just don't.

I can't for the life of me get Homefront. It's the premise that throws me off. I just... can't get over it.

This isn't such a weird reason, but I don't like COD because of iron sights and ADTS. I prefer just shooting, like in Halo and Doom, instead of having to press a button and hold for increased accuracy. I can still play COD (though the community also doesn't really make it for either) it's just I kinda prefer old-style.
