Popular games you just can't get into?


Recommended Posts

-WoW - Played it many times before, but it just doesn't seem to hook my like it does the millions that actively play it

-Halo - Played the first one when it released on PC, but do not own an xbox and have no desire to play the newer ones

-Counter Strike (all versions) - Seriously, I do not know why so many people liked this game. I own the game (friend bought CS:S for me) and the only thing I enjoy doing in it is surfing, but the second someone kills me mid-ramp, I just get annoyed and quit.

bioshock..

starcraft like many others..

and WoW.. i just dont get it..

and games like RE5.. i played it for the graphics.. thats it..

Silent Hill..

or any horror game for that matter :p

but i loved Doom3

oh.. and

something that nobody would believe..

Half-life ........... the whole damn franchise...

mayb except that puzzle game Portal.

Halo (can't stand console FPSs, and the PC versions are bad ports...)

Final Fantasy (tried to play FFVII, got bored on the first disc)

Metal Gear Solid (dunno why, just never appealed to me)

Mass Effect (I even have mass effect 1 on 360 which I got with the console..)

Bioshock (I definitely don't see what's so great about this game. Bored me almost immediately.)

World of Warcraft (I tried it, and I just don't like it very much. I played Guild Wars which for me was basically the same thing, and I didn't have to pay monthly for it.)

GTA IV - i could not stand the game, i don't see why it was so appealing to people.

Gears of War - it's okay, but once again not amazing.

Lord of the Rings online - i played it and it felt horrible, it just felt like a low quality game.

WoW - love the whole idea & style, it's just really really boring

Ratchet & Clank - want to like it cause it looks so good when you're not actually playing it. Boring when you do!

Uncharted - think I've posted my opinion on it enough here in the past

Fallout 3 - Like Oblivion, there's little direction or incentive to do anything. Got bored way too easy.

FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX & FFXII and most likely FFXIII the way things are going

any damn fantasy game where you get a rank of lvl 14 orc-demon-warlock-mage-voodoo-glowskull-douchenozzle and have the ability to kill someone with a ihaventshoweredinweeksbecauseihavebeenplayingWoWfor16daysstraightcuzihavenolifenojobnogirlfriendgreasyhairsmelllikerottenbluecheesearmpitstench spell

Borderlands: I think I just need to play it some more, maybe I'll get into it but the first few hours I was bored...

Anything ending in Craft

Final Fantasy

The last two, I just don't like MMO's or RPG/JRPG's, all of them make me fall asleep and I just don't get why I need to level my character or base up...

But the funny thing is, I loved Mass Effect 2, lol

Borderlands: I think I just need to play it some more, maybe I'll get into it but the first few hours I was bored...

You play it online, right? Because it is very boring if you play it with less than three other people.

i did like kotor 1 and 2, basically any mmorpg

Agreed. I detest games that force you to play it constantly and make 'friends' (aka people you just happened to come across and are later forced to play with you from then on).

I played WoW for a bit, and people hated me because I never took it seriously and never took part in 'planned' things. I'm not as sad as those guys! ... I hope. :blink:

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
