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:

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
