Some of these games, mostly the racers are games I was looking forward to and persisted at them but couldn't get into them, others are big games I've tried to get into such as Batman, Bioshock etc. but hate them. :p

Uhh, there's a few for me.

  • Condemned 2: Bloodshot
  • Fallout 3
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Resident Evil 5
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Funny thing is…I still completed all these games (minus Condemned because of RROD). Still, Oblivion didn't age well and I played it in 2013. RE5 was just "meh" for me and Red Dead Redemption was the equivalent of watching wet paint dry. Lastly, Fallout 3 was utterly insipid compared to New Vegas.

I found I didn't like Final Fantasy XIII as much as I thought. The characters were badly written and poorly voiced, and the story I felt was not very compelling. The combat was cool, and the graphics were great, but I just wasn't really as into it as other recent RPG's. I felt the same way about FF X as well, when it came out back on the day. I've loved all the other games in the series(except FF X-2), but those ones just didn't pull me in to the game world and get me involved with the characters like the others had.

Halo: I don't dislike it to be honest, Anniversary was really fun to play. 3 and Reach had frustrating campaigns, but overall they were fun. On the other hand Halo 4 is terrible (IMO). But other than that, Halo games mean nothing more to me. I never cared about the plot, for example, or the characters.

 

Other games:

Assassin's Creed

GoldenEye Reloaded

Far Cry 2 for me, it just seemed so boring... the HUD, the scenery, the characters. It came with a very passionate recommendation from a friend and i eventually had to admit i did about 5 hours and decided it could be traded back in.

Halo 3 i got a 4 levels in and just lost the will to play. As an introduction to the series it seriously put me off, although I have since been told it's sacrilege i played it first of all the Halo games (I was mainly a PS2 player before 360).

Bayonetta

 

BRINK (because the idea was so promising but it failed miserably imo)

 

need for speed: Rivals (i just want underground 3)

 

Assassins Creed IV (i feel like im going to hell because im saying that i didnt like it because every AC game before rocked my world but i wasnt a big fan of the naval battles in AC3 but i still had to try this out because it was AC but i just couldnt get into it.)

 

The Witcher 2

 

Dishonored

LOL :p Starting off with the third installment of a story-heavy, sci-fi series will most definitely put you off.

BioShock and BioShock Infinite. I didn't find anything amazing about the first game, so I skipped game number 2, and was going to skip Infinite as well. After hearing tons of people claim Infinite was so amazing, I decided to give the series another try when the game was on sale. Again, I was unimpressed. They aren't terrible games, but I don't see myself ever playing them again (except to get the DLC achievements in Infinite whenever the Season Pass goes on sale).

Fable 2: I tried, how I tried. The play control was maddening.

 

Far Cry 2: The game glitched on me so early on in the story I couldn't even progress to the boring part.

 

Condemned: Story aside, which was interesting. But like Fable 2 the play control drove me batshit crazy.

I'd have to say the Halo series. I don't hate them, but they're kind of 'meh' to me. Maybe because I don't dig the multi-player very much and the story is kind of stupid? Back in the day I played Final Fantasy 7 and hated it. I don't see why people love those Final Fantasy games. Convoluted story telling, weird combat systems, characters that look like they stepped out of a hair gel commercial, and the list goes on. No thanks.

How did I forget about Halo?! I've tried. I played most of them, but it's not living up to it's hype imo.
