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.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
