Which gaming classics do you loathe?

[killcheese]

Final Fantasy. God iv played it on the nes, got about 2 hours in and would rather watch tv, do the dishes, read a book anything but play that. I then played ff7 later thinking it might be different... god still hate it. To be fair i don't play rpgs much, im more a platformer, fps and racing game kind of guy.

Oblivion. I know it's not a classic, but i hate that game with a vengeance. Oddly enough i loved Fallout 3 =]

Mario. Repetitive 2D platforming which bored the hell out of me. I also hate the Mario Kart series.

 

[Mr Shrike]

Ooh, where to begin?

Pokemon, all of them.
Mario, all of them.
Legend of Zelda, all of them.
Half-Lives 1 & 2.
Counter-Strike.
Fallout, all of them.
Gears of War, both of them.
Big Rigs. You know why.

I've played all and own most of the games mentioned, but I just don't like or enjoy them at all.

Maybe I'm really fussy?

 

[Caligulove]

Honestly, Mario.

I just don't care for it, and the one that I was able to actually play for an extended period was Super Mario Sunshine.
It's not the genre, its just, I dunno- I always liked other games from the genre better

 

[loc978]

The entire Resident Evil franchise, and anything Metal Gear after Metal Gear Solid.

There are other games (even entire franchises) I dislike, but nothing else I loathe quite as deeply.

Oh my god I am going to be hated.

Deus ex.
I just don't.
I'm sorry.

Agree. I just can't get into it. I've gotten as far as the inside of the statue of liberty but the stealth is just awful.

That's because the first two missions are boring. Many have quit the game because of the two missions, those that pushed forward have found the game to be excelent.

OT: I really don't hate any classic game infact, there is more older games that I'm going to play in the next few months than newer.

I didn't really like the Halo series.

I dont think they arn't worthy of respect

I can understand you not liking them, thats your own opinion, but saying crap like this is the stuff that starts flame wars.

Agreed, and flame wars are baaaaaaaaaad.

OT: Hmm tough one but i agree with saying that the original Goldeneye was fiddly and just uninteresting , and the shooting was just so infuriating. Especially oddjob on multiplayer... Oh god no.

 

[SilverUchiha]

Halo as a whole. I don't own the games, but of what I've played of multiplayer, I just can't get into it. Partially controls, partially because everyone I play with (friends who own the game) just kick everyone's ass at the game without much effort.

Zelda (I can live with Majora's mask and twilight). To most, most every game feels the same. On top of that, Link is such a boring character. I think what pisses me off the most is he can't jump. Make whatever logical reason for his non-jumping you want, but we all know he can do it, it's just not in the game as a normal action and it pisses me off.

Final Fantasy... I refuse to become a part of whatever this really is. It doesn't look interesting. It doesn't sound interesting. So I'm just going to avoid this like the plague.

EDIT: And Warcraft is fun to play every now and then, but I think I just found it to be too boring to play for too long, so I think it's just turned me off RTS in general.

I got to stop reading this thread.
The urge to start flaming everyone here is growing.....
This entire thread must be purged.

Buy some glasses dude.

OT: Morrowind... I love Oblivion, but Morrowind just didnt do it for me.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Well every Jrpg including the raise little battlemonster ones. from NES to future's x-station 3000 its just boring me to death.
Alot classics i liked back then arent that great anymore, we just have soooo many games coming out every year now, that its hard to see the same thing in a simple shooter like millions of that kind, when it isnt the only simple shooter around anymore.

 

[qeinar]

Loathe is a pretty strong word, but I never really got what everyone saw in GoldenEye for the 64. I always thought it was ugly and fiddly and imbalanced and just generally pretty bad.

pff goldeneye for the 64 is pretty good.. i would say it's the halo for the n64.. the games are alot alike in some ways..

as for classics i don't like so much, well.. none i really hate i can't really bring myself to hate on a game concidered a classic, there are alot of them i don't like though..

link can jump, it's just that he's so awesome he have to do a backflip every time he does it.. btw why can you live with majoras mask and twilight princess and not ocraina of time? also twilight princess is probably to me the 5th best zelda game.. : p

hmm also cool to see the people hating on nintendo games not mentioning the DKC series, which was brilliant..

and if your gonna base your hating on a game on graphics, it would be nice if you could come up with an example of a game from the same year that had better graphics.. would be great if people specified abit more than just saying they hate a game, i mean if you hate platformers in the first place, then there is a bad chance you would ever liked the mario games.. so if you like another game of the same genra that you feel was a better game, that would be kewl to see mentioned aswell. : >

I just read the entire thread, and I must say:

"BY FIRE BE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRGED!"

J/k, but my urge to flame starts to grow, and with some of you guys I agree, but really, it brings tears to my eyes when i see titles like Pokemon, Half-Life and Psychonauts being slaughtered.

(sorry for doubly post)

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I never got into Zelda. I don't loathe the series par say but I'm not a fan. I have never finished a single Zelda game.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Pretty much all of Nintendo because they refuse to release anything new. Between Zelda 40, Metroid 15 and Mario 87, they seem to have completely run out of new ideas all together and even the originals aren't that good.

 

[dawdarsd]

zelda,halo,final fantasy,resident evil,silent hill,deus ex,pokemon games i cannot like them
zelda too damn boring,halo i tried to like it i seriously did i bought the first and second but both were boring as hell,the guns looked like sex toys more than obvious guns,the enemies had some really bad modelling,the sound effects were crap and the level design was the worst(you couldn't tell if you were proceding or walking in circles) ,final fantasy is a JRPG,RE has more puzzles with various stones,keys and switches then the count of zombies in the game,silent hill the same as RE,deus ex because the stealth was half assed and you could never tell if you are gonna get away from a guy or not while hiding,pokemon games well because it's about pokemons and i always found pokemons to be kiddy as hell even when i was 7
i only watched pokemons for a couple of months when i was like 5 and then it got boring.
