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:

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
