-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.

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

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

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:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
