Ace_O_Spades

yes, I have... I keep thinking they will get better, because people keep giving them praise

GTA, GTA2, London, GTA3, Vice City, and now San Andreas... It's just the same game over and over and over and over...

I'll admit, I had fun with the very first GTA, but after that it was just a graphics upgrade

I disagree. GTA rules... who doesnt feel the excitement of flying a plane and jumping out, skydiving while watching your plane crash in the distance, then take an ATV or buggy and ride at full speed through the desert/canyon?
Or conquering rival gang territory while having 1992 tupac songs on the radio...
Modding your car with Nos, hydraulics...rims..
are you kidding? this game is the shit.

Amen! They seem fun at first. Especially when you start one with several friends. However, when you start to realize that you play for hours with little or no progress or you work hard to work up your character to get into a high level guild...enabling you to play even more within the guild competing with fellow guild members so you can get some stupid ass weapon or tunic. I realized my actual school and job was less stressful than playing an mmorpg.

Ditto. MMORPGs are boring.

I also forgot to add any of the Metroid games to my list, they are so fucking boring. I don't understand why people go apeshit over them whenever one is released.

Any and all japanese style rpg games (aka Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger). A bunch of boring, insepid crap, with cutesy characters and woe-is-me sob story bullshit. Throw in a fucking idiotic excuse for a fighting system and overly long plot development. Waste of goddamn time if you ask me.

Add Metroid Prime to my list, I couldn't even finish it after the second boss because I got so bored.

Carno

I fucking hate Ninja Gaiden!!!

Actually it's a badass game, but it's so fucking HARD!!!!!!!!! I spent like $40 on this game and I can't even get halfway through it.. I suck hard core

Stompy

Racing games like Gran Turismo and Burnout 3.

I actually downloaded Burnout 3 because it got such GREAT reviews, but goddamn it's like... no different than any other racing game. I kinda sat there scratching my head trying to figure out why this one is so much better.

Any fighting game. They just don't do anything for me. Except for Bushido Blade, that one was pretty cool.

Lunatic

Any Resident Evil Game, Tried to play a couple of times, but I never got myself to start liking it.

RogueHunter65

I hate metal gear solid games....All you do is sneak around and not kill people. Of course they (enemy soldiers) have machine guns but I'll stick to my tranquilizer gun. Its an action game that is light on the action!?!

The covert aspect of the game is just a pain. Even few minutes a guy gets a exclamation mark over his head then a set of beeping noises occurs which some how alerts like 5 guys to come and attack me. Other people love this game…I guess I just don’t get it.

Lol then I'm the fucker who treasures Final Fantasy VII and can actually tell you what it's about.

And on that note, strike another vote here for Halo/Halo 2. I don't see why these games have such a 'this is the greatest game ever!' following. It's just another FPS if you ask me. The multiplayer is extremely overrated too. Granted it is fun to some ppl, the only things I find fun about it are sniping ppl like a pansy, using the energy knife thing for one hit kills, and whacking ppl with the gun itself rather than shooting at them. If I played like I were supposed to, then it would be extremely boring, lol, thats just my opinion, though.

I'm sorry. You did not just say that. *angry fanboy look*
no just kidding. but I love the game. It's what it says "Tactical Espionage Action"
you have to move smartly. Spies don't sneak by spraying away with AK 47s...

I got SOoooo tired on killing an alien, moving to another room, killing another alien, moving to another room, killing another alien, moving to another room, killing another alien, moving to another room, killing another alien, moving to another room, killing another alien ad infinitum.

No discernable thought appears to have gone into the storyline at all

Kadath

Yeah, I got MGS:TTS for my cube because I'd never finished the original version, and I really hate tactical espionage simulators. Stealth gets old. One reason I enjoyed Syphon Filter more was they mixed it up; it wasn't always sneaking around. I finished the game, but I'll never play it again.

Baldur's Gate II, sacreligious, I know, but I just can't get into it. It's too big. I get out of the first dungeon and you're in a city with about 8 million options and I get overwhelmed and uninstall the game. It's happened three times now. I don't want a railed shooter, but give me a little help, please. I was able to handle BG I and Icewind Dale, because with those there's a little more structure, but I guess I'm too lazy to handle BG II.

Im not the huge fan of World of Warcraft. My roommate has been playing it like its his job, and I created my own character on his account and have played with it for a few days... And its fun, but certainly not worth all the hype everyone gives it.

Although, I dont think this is so much the fault of the game as it is the genre. I find them utterly repetitive. Hack, slash, loot. Hack, slash, loot. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Amen to that.

Also any sports game, I just can't stand them and get bored in like 2 minutes. I can't understand how friends can sit and play dynasties in NCAA football or whatever.

Ruse

Im with the few that said Halo. Simply put, it blows.

hefe.

MSG is one i never could get into, after playing it for a bit i realized sneaking around is really boring for me.

sports games... can't understand how so many people here like those Winning Eleven soccer games. bleargh

it seems theres alot of "its-popular-so-I-don't-like-it" going around this thread, but if it is true opinion, then oh well

Many of the 'popular' games do suck though..and in the world of gaming ones own opinion matters most. Here's my list of crap titles that everyone keeps playing in their ignorance:

Madden (yeah i said it...God i fucking hate this one)
GTA (same shit, different race)
Starcraft
Everquest (the ultimate soul leecher; those who play this game don't exist to anyone who knew them)
Resident Evil
Oh yeah ...DDR...what the hell is that!?!

biznatch

Well if you guys can't have some fun with games that are desined during years for great gameplay..
I don't know. Most of the games you've mentioned are good.
I don't see why, automatically, when a game's rating is high, you want to criticize it and find every flaw. Admit that when you can have more than 20 hours of gaming that's genuine fun, it's a good game.
damn.

I would have to say KOTOR. I like RPGs for the most part, but I fired this game up and I just got bored way too fast. It seemed like just trying to do the simplest task took 5 clicks and multiple stops in action.

I think I am a very very small minority here on this one. Maybe I need to give the game another shot.

if i got 20 hours of fun from a game then yes it would be good. but the games people have been listing did not give them 20 hours.

GTA is one for me. it agve me a total of about 3 hours of fun. Then it was boring beyond belief.

The main reason I stuck with halo was cause i remember way back when I saw a video of it (before tribes 1) and thinking that looked like the shit. It looked the same when it came out like 5 years later. I finished it for nostalga cause it wasnt giving me fun.

Ill add baulders gate 1 and 2 as they did not give me 20 hours. and neverwinter nights as well.

Played all the GTAs, were AWSOME for the first hour or 6 then, I just put them away. Never got into Half Life. Final Fantasy never realy interested me and Sports Games Entertain me for all of 5 minutes.

Derwood

Here's one no one has mentioned:

SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE

My brother in law and his friends play this for 12 hours straight and I get bored after 2 minutes.

12 hours? If i go past one I'll start slapping my opponent, because the game gets so childish "oooh watch out for my laser cannon!"..."Hah! DUDE, Yoshi put you in an egg!"
So it gets me bored after a little while...But I do like the concept of the game, if not played too long.
