popular games you didn't like

[margot]

Did you hate Zelda or FF7 or something like this????????????????????????? If so, please state why.

[Nega-Brent]

I don't like FFXII, World of Warcraft, FFXI, Call of Duty, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.

[margot]

but why

[Natsu]

Wow if this thread won't bring up any heated debates, I would say all the racing games like Gran Turismo, Flight Simulations, or Strategy RPG's.. If i wanna playing fucking chess.. I would buy the board games.

[Siendra]

FFX:

God that fucking sucked. Meg Ryan is the whiniest character ever.

Shadow of the Colossus:

World is nearly empty, animations suck, progression sucks, and the "I'm artistic! LOOK AT HOW I TELL MY STORY LOL" approach annoyed the hell out of me.

All for now.

[Nega-Brent]

but why

FFXII felt like an online RPG that you couldn't play online.

World of Warcraft just feels like every other fantasy MMORPG, I cannot figure out what's so special about it.

FFXI is the worst of those fantasy MMORPGs.

Call of Duty is just another WWII game.

[Wind]

I have to defend Call of Duty, because while it was released during a time of endless WW2 games and WW2 FPSs, it was a landmark in the genre and created a legit atmosphere of chaos and war.

And a bajillion other WWII games before it supposedly did the same thing.

Halo + Halo 2

Reason being they are highly over-rated when endless PC shooters at the same time of release had better single player and multiplayer gameplay. It was mainly praised for its "amazing" multiplayer and "exciting" story. The single player in Halo was bland and it seemed like you just entered corridors that looked exactly the same. The multiplayer in Halo while I have had legit fun playing it, isnt great enough to receive the praise it did, and still does. Hell, I'd rather play classics like the Original Quake single / multiplayer than Halo.

(death match = Quake 3, team based = Counter-Strike / Battlefield 2, Single-player = HL2) *some examples of games that are much better than Halo*

[margot]

I thought all the serious gamers disliked FFX~?

I had fun playing it, but it did seem very self-aware, like it was very much trying to be a game fanboys would like.

[Artie]

i'm not that fond of The Sims 2. Many people liked it but i was just like whatever. i can't really say why, i just don't. and Command and Conquer Generals. I thought it was a bit too slow paced, plus i like StarCraft so much better.

[FaultyClockwork]

GTA. Just incredibly stupid games and the controls feel way to loose and slidey for me.

[Arcane]

I think it would be more fair to just say you don't like WWII shooters. At least when you compare Call of Duty to similar games of the genre, it's pretty much the cream of the crop.

[Ceraziefish]

Basically all japanese RPGs (make me lose interest really quickly)

WoW (got bored after month)

Retro gaming in general (take off the rose-tinted glasses, there were a few gems, but for the most part, most of the games were boring)

Pokemon after the original games

I agree with all above heresy.

Anyway... I guess I don't like Halo a lot. I really don't like Halo 2, though. Halo was a fairly decent game as far as I was concerned.

I suppose a popular game I don't like is Counterstrike... It just always seemed too fast paced and YOU'RE RUNNING YOU'RE RUNNING OH SHIT YOU'RE DEAD for me. Sourse mods that I like more, and why; Battlegrounds, because it's the same as CS but you get one shot per reload and reloading takes like ten seconds (this game is seriously awesome) and Dystopia because it has really good objective based gameplay that encourages teamwork, covering fire, cool stuff like that.

yea same here. i never liked them.

nad CS takes alot of practice to master. i was really good a while ago, but i'm grounded so i can't play..

[Ceraziefish]

Kindom Hearts - stupid

God I forgot about that game. I hate it so much.

I also hate Shadow of the Colossus. I've never played it, but my ex loved it so it must suck. :hardgay:

[Artie]

i like Kingdom Hearts personally

WoW=teh suck. Blizzard has failed me. now just wait for StarCraft 2 (PLEASE!!!) to come out, or World of StarCraft (although that would be painful).

[Adam]

Kindom Hearts - stupid

Have you played the 2nd one?

[Wind]

why would anyone want a World of Starcraft?

So we can have another overly easy MMO that will appeal to far too many people?

[Arcane]

Halo, 2 - Not really bad games, but just way overhyped for what they are.

Counterstrike - I've tried it a few times, and I still don't see why everyone gets so addicted to it.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Everything about this game was cool, except combat. Combat got really tedious when it took 5 minutes to kill anything.

World of Warcraft - Like most people who don't like it, I used to be addicted to it. End game turned out to be really boring, and PvP was influenced by gear too much instead of skill and intelligence.

Super Smash Bros. - I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't really like SSB. Playing with 4 people can be fun for about 30 minutes, but then the appeal just wears off on me. The new one for Wii might be able to make me a fan, we'll see.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - I'm just bitter because it runs like shit on my computer.

i was kidding.

I would just like a sci-fi MMO that doesn't suck.

EVE is pretty fun, I don't know if you're into that sorta thing though..

As for popular games I didn't like... Probably just the Halo series, never really stuck with me

[Belial]

Warcraft III - In my opinion it was at this point that Blizzard stopped caring about their lore and started to only worry about robbing millions of people of their cash. When the people who make the game no longer care about story telling, why should I?

[Nega-Brent]

The Metal Gear Solid Series - Ever since Splinter Cell reinvented the stealth game, Solid Snake seems like he's stuck in the past.
