When can you declare a game crap?

When it says No More Heroes on the cover.
But seriously.
It depends on the game and how many elements it has.
Some games you can get a good taste of within an hour.
Other games (like RPGs and many other open world games: GTAs Fallout 3) become more engrossing the more you explore them.
With RE4, it probably wouldn't gotten any better for him. If it was San Andreas, I would've told him to try at least opening up the map.
Really though, No More Heroes is the only game I think is more overrated than RE4. RE4 was a slow sandbagged shooter with quick time events; it's no wonder I didn't like it, until it came out on the wii.

If a game is technically shitfucked up its own ass and the controls are awful, you'll know in the first five minutes of play.

generally a half hour to an hour. if something cool hasnt happened yet, then its bad. the only thing that will keep me going is is people say "but the ending is amazing". it usually isnt but still.. oh and that half hour? it starts when i press "new game". includes cutscenes and loading.
in certian cases i'll declare it horrible about 10 minutes after i start, in most other cases i'll give it 2 nights worth
When I start doing other things during the cut scene movies. Like I did in Metal Gear and Kingdom Hearts.
if it's not a fighting game my main "fuck-off-bad-game-meter" normally triggers when my controls feel like a brick with rainbow dots on them. I like to think I have a strong tolerance for bad games, shitty story or difficulty aside.
MY GOD finally someone agrees with me
i was a non-stop halo2 fan, played it all the time with my mates etc, couldnt wait for 3 to make its appearance.
and in the end, it wasnt even worth me turning on the tv to play loll

When you die for the fifteenth time from rockets being shot at you with such predictable timing you can but only get shot down and get up just in time to get caught in the trajectory of another rocket. Lather, rinse, repeat untill that vein on your head bursts.

I usually give a game 45 minutes to an hour.. If at that point I can't immerse myself in the game, if it doesn't grab me, I usually stop.
