I could list a hundred reasons why Final Fantasy 12 almost bored me to death. Instead, I will list just one: Because it sucked. From what I could gather from the mess of what Squenix called a story, some political bullshit caused some other crap and a princess was on the run, but you never really got to hang with said princess for too long. Oh ya, and the characters are dull and unoriginal. Oh, and one more thing, the game sucked. Did I say that already?
I'm sure you can see I was disappointed. Anyway, I just played Top Spin 3. Man, was it boring. I played the original Top Spin for the Dreamcast I think, and it was really pretty fun. However, they tried to make this version realistic. Only problem is, they missed. Badly. There is no atmosphere at all and the points are never exciting. I found the most effective way to win wasn't to take a chance and go for a big shot (because you would miss every time) but instead, to simply slice the ball back cross court and have a nice, long, boring 10-shot rally before your opponent went for a big shot - and missed. I mean seriously, when was the last time Federer missed an easy cross court forehand (Zing!)? Anyway, don't play the game. Character creation is pretty lame and the gameplay is even worse. Oh, and here's the kicker. As far as I could tell, the game has a four song soundtrack. I'm not kidding. Do You Want To by Franz Ferdinand, Great Escape by Boys Like Girls, some crappy techno song, and that song from Napoleon Dynamite when he dances at the school election. Oh, and the songs restart every time you go to a new menu. Awesome.

Soldner, a mate of mine bought it back from Serbia for me. IT looks good, initially felt good, apart from some shoddy graphics, but then i got bored when it asked me to do the same mission six times, drive 50KM without incident, pick up a REALLY slow truck, and drive in another 50km, only to get shot by an RPG. Then Helicoptors i caled in spawned directly over my head, dropping to the ground, exploding and killing me, Bridges disappeared whislt i was driving my jeep over them, sending my plummeting into a river, and finally, my tank got stuck in a shell hole, at which point i decided to get out and shoot the enemy only to find my weapons had been dropped by my smart mercenary as he got in the tank!
When i saw the topic title i immediatly knew there would be atleast 1 hl2 mention, 5 wow mentions and 5 mmo's in general. I remain unsuprised but i'm still waiting for the obligatory rant about Portal's lack of different guns.
On topic: wiianything, games ripped directly from newgounds and miniclip with nintedo's currently favourite gimmick and an insane price tag added(keep in mind that the originals are free and can be controlled with a mouse). And let's not start on any of the "healthy" products nintendo puts out. DS eye training...
Clive Barker's Jericho also deserves a honorable mention involving 12 exactly the same fights in a row.

I'm gonna have to agree with Anti-Santa on Shenmue 2 being the most boring game of all time. I tried to play the game over and over again because it looked good and had a good premise but forcing me to get a job and go to work to advance the story sucked. I hated coming home from my shitty job to turn on my console and have to go to my shitty job in the game. ARGGHHH!! Burn in hell Shenmue 2
WoW - never actaully played it, I got so bored trying to install the bloody thing that I gave up and never bothered to try and play ever again.
Final Fantasy VII.
This game was so boring I actually fell asleep playing it, which is unprecedented.
My friends were all like "Hey, you have to play this game, it's amazing. Easily the best game I have ever played!" And I said "Awesome, I'll give it a shot." Well, lets just say that I was severely disappointed. It was EXACTLY the same as every other Final Fantasy game, except this time you played a a man who looked like a woman who also had a fifty foot long sword! So innovative!

Any games that require you to grind yourself to obesity and nerdiness. (I'm looking at you, WoW!)
Another for Half - Life 2 here. I can appreciate the structure of the game and its gameplay, but it does not have that 'just 5 more minutes' quality that my favourite games have.
That, and I thought the friendly NPCs were too touchy-feely, whatever they were gabbing on about was dull to me.
I would never have bothered finishing it if it was not for the 360 achievements . . .

so i played a game that no one will ever play, ever. it was called aero wings, for the dreamcast. the entire premise was fly around different planes and perform shows. no combat, your planes were unarmed. it was synchronized flying. the most boring game ever. although eves, fly somewhere , mine for 20 minutes, fly to another galaxy, sell, rinse repeat, could give it a run for the money.
i would have to say.......The mask of zorro,it's combat system was no mundane you basically froze in mid-combat and give a sequence of four buttons to press.THATS IT!!!!
Oh yeah, I remember that one... First one was cool, but the sequel was a weird RPG gameboard hybrid. It was like playing a crappy version of Risk.HSIAMetalKing post=9.62900.537343 said:
Though, game I found the most boring was Killer 7. It could have been on the NES.
It has to be STALKER for me. Played for a few hours, got lost, shot some radiation infected wildlife and was killed by an anomaly, or whatever they call them. I'll give most games a good go, but I just couldn't be bothered with STALKER.
splinter cell...call me crazy but i cant stand sneaking games with somone who cant fight.
the irony of all of this is MGS4 was the sole reson i started using my PS3 for somthing other than blu-ray movies.funny because splinter cell and MGS have been said to be almost the same game but i dont see it.
