What popular games do you hate>?

[Kitsunexus]

OK, some people will kill me for this, but here are some games that everyone else splurges over, but I absolutely hate.

Resident Evil 4 - Why do people like this game? It was INSANELY boring and repetitive, I got to the area where the house was being overrun with zombies, and I said "THIS IS BULLSHIT" and returned it in exchange for Ikaruga. The sad part is that by buying this game, I missed a chance to snag the exceedingly rare Bloody Roar 4 for GameCube. I've never liked RE games, and whoever says this game is different is completely full of shit. You're still a f*cking army tank, but now it's an over the shoulder Border Patrol simulator instead of a survival horror game.

Halo - This game isn't really that bad, but it's not really good either. It's just a standard FPS, with a generic story and weaponry. Why so much hype? And why only hype from the jock-types and rednecks? Goldeneye pwned this shit.

Grand Theft Auto - OK, I LOVED Vice City, and I still do to this day, but this is like Pokemon or those homojock sports games. Every year, new graphical polish and maybe one new feature, and like a new soundtrack. WOOPTY-DOO. It didn't take me long to jump off that boat.

World Of Warcraft - I don't even care why people like this game. It's retarded.

Killzone - I FINALLY figured out why everybody likes this game! DENIAL! Microsoft has Halo, Nintendo has...something, I guess, so PS2 fans have to get behind soemthing, even if it's crap.

Call Of Duty series - Call Of Duty 1 was AMAZING. That is the first game that made me feel like I was actually watching a movie (Metal Gear Solid was like watching an anime or something, not that cinematic). COD2 was great as well. But COD3 was RIDICULOUSLY HARD, and 4 is going to ramp it up even more. Massochism, anyone?

And that's about all I can think of. What popular games do YOU hate?

I don't really hate it, but I kind of agree with you about Halo.

I played the original when it first came out at a friend's house and I found it kind of tedious and boring. But I guess it should be stated that I tend to dislike FPS games from the get-go. The only FPS games I even own are the Bond games on the N64 and GameCube.

Four or five years ago I lived in this house with three roommates and they went through this phase where they would have "Halo parties," like, every f*cking night during the week. It got real old real fast. I usually just went to my room, drank a lot of Busch or MGD and played TurboGrafx and Nintendo 64 games with my girlfriend. We did have some fun though, just about every weekend we'd find an excuse to throw huge house parties (150+ people) that just went f*cking crazy and trashed the neighborhood (the house was in a suburban residential area just outside Seattle). Fights, kegs, and lots of girls. This happened almost weekly for like three months until we got enough complaints from the neighbors that the landlord evicted all of us. Ah.... good times.

But I digress...

Regardless, I would never wait in line longer than 30 seconds to get a copy of either it (Halo) or it's sequel(s).

Halo - Why so much hype?

Because it's on Xbox.

World Of Warcraft - I don't even care why people like this game. It's retarded.

Agreed.  These games are lame.  However I pretty much extend that to all PC games.  I just can't get into gaming using a computer.

I really hate the controls in resident evil 4 or whatever version i played on my friends ps2. It drove me crazy, its not like a standard fps control setup, but some weird ass crap. Oh well, I know that game is popular but i can't stand to play it, haha.

I really hated Halo when it first came out because it got more hype than it was worth, imo. Its like people were telling me that it was the greatest thing on earth and shit, but it wasn't for me. The online multiplayer is lame, you can't even choose your game type( at least it was that way when i played it online), the system selects it for you. Its very slow action, when the dudes jump, they float around and get shot. I guess I'm just used to fast paced fps online multiplayer. The grafx are also a little on the bland side; not very much detail on the space ships and buildings. I just got bored of the environments, it was that bad. I did enjoy the grass in the fields tho, haha.

Grand Theft Auto - OK, I LOVED Vice City, and I still do to this day, but this is like Pokemon or those homojock sports games. Every year, new graphical polish and maybe one new feature, and like a new soundtrack. WOOPTY-DOO. It didn't take me long to jump off that boat.

Here is a game that I liked a little at first, but it gets old. The game itself also handles very poorly. It always locked up on me, so I was never able to beat it. I wish that they fixed that. Also, the rendering of roads and shit while you're driving is really gay. It takes long and then renders a wall in front of you and you crash, wtf is that about. I'm used to rockstars poor programing though, so I'm not surprised.

Actually, I like Unreal Tournament and UT2K4, I'm not going to get UT2K7 though. I also like some old 90's PC games and I LOVE Jazz Jackrabbit 2! But that's about it for PC games for me.

I actually liked Vice City, but I was playing it on PC not PS2, which may explain why my rendering was better and it never locked up. Actually it did lock up, but that's because I put on a no-clip cheat after I jumped off the highest stairwell in the game with a motorcycle, and it just kept going up, and up, and up, and *BAM!* BSOD.

I wouldn't say I hated it, but I was very disappointed with God of War.  Lots of theatrics, but neither the action nor the puzzle solving did much for me. 

[Tatsujin]

too much as i can count them.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is one of my favourite games of all time.

I do hate the GTA series with a passion, ever since 3 and the huge amount of hype surronding it (gotta love the soundtrack to vice city though)

As mentioned before killzone, i had the unfortunate luck of playing this game when i bought my second hand ps2, i plugged it in opened the disc drawer and there it was, its very rare i'll play a game for less than 3 minutes before im sick of it, it just has no appeal at all.

Again mentioned before Res4, although i dont /hate/ it i don't rant and rave about it either.

Halo is bland but i've found it to be a game that is easy to pick up and play.

Devil may cry, i know i didnt play these when they were first released but i just find the games boring, i just cant see whats so cool about them.

theres probably a whole lot more but i cant think of any right now

 

[GUTS]

Anything on the f*cking retarded Wii.

[_joshuaTurbo]

Pretty much don't get any of the tom clancy stuff. Including Splinter Cell.

Not much for Metal Gear Solid, Halo or any of the GTA's.  Although I kind of liked GTA 2 on Dreamcast...

And I HATE the Mario Party games! The first one was kinda fun, but jesus- now their making 9!!!  WTF!? Their all the same freaking game!!!

Getting very bored with the Wii, but it has an excellent web browser in opera!

Anything on the f*cking retarded Wii.

Even Star Soldier R?

[Turbo D]

And I HATE the Mario Party games! The first one was kinda fun, but jesus- now their making 9!!!  WTF!? Their all the same freaking game!!!

Man, I really hate those lame Mario Party games too, haha. I thought I was the only one.

[nat]

Mario Party rules. I won't argue they went a bit over the top with the sequels, but the newest (#8) is pretty cool since it takes advantage of the Wii's unique control system and adds a new dynamic to the game. They could have done away with 3-7 though.

[Black Tiger]

Halo series -I love Halo 2 multiplayer and the same will likely go for 3, but I don't like the campaigns or Halo 1.

Metal Gear Solid series -I forced myself to play through the first one, but it only seemed to get worse after that.

GTA series

3D Zeldas -the only one I got any kind of enjoyment out of was Wind Waker, and only at times. Its more like work than an adventure.

Resident Evil series

Gran Turismo series

Super Mario Sunshine

Final Fantasy series after VII -VII's not a great game, but I had some fun with it. After that it went all the way off the deep end.

2D Sonic series -I don't hate them, they're just not fun for me anymore, but I'm trying to get back into them.

Metroid Prime 2

Megaman 8 -I gave up on the series with this game.

Earthbound

Mortal Kombat series

[Keranu]

I agree with a lot of big ones in here.

Final Fantasy VIII and up - Boring, girly men, and ridiculous battle systems (at least from X and up).

Legend of Zelda, The: Wind Waker - Well I'm not so sure if this game is well received enough to begin with, but it's popular and I know some who really like it. This game is really cool until at first, but it gets so boring after the first dungeon. This game is too-linear for me.

Legend of Zelda, The: Twilight Princess - This game suffers the same boringness as Wind Waker, but I think the overall appeal of this game is worse. Actually the parts with Link are pretty cool, but the wolf parts are dreadful. This game is even more non-linear for me than WW.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 - Ridiculous fighting game with unbalanced characters, wacky mechanics, and awful graphics. It's ok if you're into something like that, but I prefer more "low-to-the-ground" fighters that are more tactical.

Mega Man series - This series had a lot of potential when it first started, but failed flat. A thousand games worth of a cyborg (or android?) kid going through poorly designed levels with annoying gameplay mechanics.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and up - Actually I don't think MGS2 is so bad, but it's overrated of course. I thought Snake Eater was retarded though.

MMORPGs - Yeah all of these games are a bunch of leveling up time wasters.

Pokemon series - Well I should be honest since I haven't seriously played any of these games enough, but I do hate the money grubbing series.

Resident Evil series - I thought these games played like crap even when it first came out and I was only a kid. I love the horror aspect of the game, but it's so uncomfortable to control. I haven't played RE4 yet, but I hear it plays a lot better.

Sonic Adventure - This game seems to be received very well. The first level of this game is awesome and really feels like how Sonic should be in 3D, but the adventure parts are really dull as are the rest of the stages and characters.

Thunder Force III and IV - Yeah you all know my history with these games so you can just look previous posts of mine about these games. To sum it up: loose controls, occasional wide and empty levels, dirty graphics with paper cut out parallax, and scratchy music.

Probably lots more too.
