GTA:IV is an example. In my mind, I know it's a really good game. It does so many things well, I like the world and I find it complex and interesting, but, for the life of me, I just cannot enjoy it. There's just enough little things combined that get in the way of it being fun, but I can easily see why somebody would love the game. Just not me, for some reason.
Maybe having too much content can be a bad thing. I like GTA4, but I doubt I'll ever finish it. The story's just too long.
GTA IV? Too much content? You sir make me laugh.

Call Of Duty: World At War. I played it for a few months, but at one point, it was no fun. Zombies was not worth it with out the DLC, and no one played Ground War. I can not go back at this point, though I have tried.
The new Zombie maps were great, just wish one of my mates still had the game, its not fun with me and one other guy (Our team of 3 was EPIC).
I'm not a sir :)
What's the combat in Dragon Age like? Judging by game-play videos, it looks like MMO point-and-click style, which... well, sucks.

Developers, please stop putting MMO combat into single player games. Just because it's an RPG doesn't mean fights have to be boring. There can be a healthy balance between the character's stats and the player's skill. Just look at The Witcher.

Borderlands. Simply not what was promised and was damn linear for an apparent RPG.
There's your problem - it was a shooter with RPG elements, namely leveling and skill trees (and never attempted to disguise that fact). If you went in expecting an RPG that happened to have a few guns, you're going to get dissapointed.

I got dissapointed with and ended up turning off Peggle Extreme - the constant Half Life 2 images kept reminding me of how bored I was playing Half Life 2.

This happened with LittleBigPlanet and Killzone 2. The former was a charming and fun platformer, but for some reason I just didn't wanna keep playing it. And Killzone 2... ugh don't get me started on Killzone 2.
I was actually thinking about buying KillZone 2 because I have a lack of good FPS games for my PS3. Do you mind if I get you started on why it's so "ugh"?

Halo Wars, don't shower me with abuse, I purchased it simply for the mappack expansion for Halo 3, and I figured since I'd bought it I might as well give it a go, it was so fucking boring i nearly shed a tear.

Borderlands, GTA IV and Fallout 3. I started them, and got bored (I did finish Fallout though)

It pretty much is, from the Videos it looked like you could do some pretty sweet combos and the like. But when you do that with ranged combat...I want to be able to aim and hit every shot, not miss because the computer does it for the lulz.
Wait, it pretty much is which? MMO, or well balanced?

O yes man, LBP I stopped because my ex beat it before me. (Silly reason, yes.) Since I stopped on some rotating circle level and keep dieing and keep getting pissed and keep breaking controllers...ok not the last one but pretty close to tossing them out of RAGE!

Killzone 2 I did not take kindly to the guns being realistically slow to start turning. I can not stand that or that the running felt more like gliding.

Farcry 2. I should like the game. I played it for about 5 hours in total.. But just found myself not caring about the character or being arsed to drive from place to place.

PS3 controllers are easy to break.
