Popular games you just can't get into?


Recommended Posts

Diablo is da bomb... I played it and the interesting part of that game is that it's hard to get rich but I know how to get rich without begging for stuff. No matter when I started to replay the game, I always see noobs asking for items. Guild Wars is another one. People just don't know how to get rich. The only game that does not and never will appeal to my taste is WoW. WoW simply fails in my book. It's cartoonish and there's absolutely no strategy involved. If anyone willing to dispute that, try Guild Wars. In Guild Wars, all it take is one idiots to screw things up, and the whole party is wiped out; one small mistake is all it takes.

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

Nope, never played it online, I guess I will have to throw it back in and try it out there!

  • Borderlands: I can tell it's a good game, but after about 10-12 hours, it just didn't capture my interest.
  • GRID: I tried my best to enjoy this one, but that handling is just awful, especially for somebody who comes from a Gran Turismo background.
  • Half-Life 2: I loved the first Half-Life. In fact, I played through it three times. I loved the diversity in the enemies, but in HL2, it's just Combine over and over again, in different environments and different scenarios. Huge disappointment for me.
  • Soul Calibur: It's fun to button mash in this game, but compared to Virtua Fighter (or even Tekken for that matter), there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of depth to it.

Again, I'll be the first to admit that all of them are good games, but like the topic description says, they just didn't do anything for me.

Guys, if you don't typically like any RPGs, FPS games, or whatever, please don't post the genre as a whole. This is popular games you don't like, not genres. Pick something that pertains to your interests... :/

As for my picks:

Team Fortress 2. I can't stand the weapons you get for the most part.

Final Fantasy X. Hated the characters in this game badly enough to stop playing it. I did very much enjoy the mechanics/gameplay, which makes me sad. FFX-2 also had some great action combat but who wants to play as the spice girls? :blink:

God of War - have played parts of all 3 and haven't had any desire to buy them.

Halo - not sure what's so great about this game. the mp is filled with idiots and sp was okay at best.

GTA 4 - didn't have the feel of the past GTA games. felt like there was too much realism to the point of annoyance.

Bioshock/Half Life - both games give me a bad case of vertigo. might be why i never got into them.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
