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:

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
