apparently awesome games that just didnt interest you

what are some of the super popular games that just didnt feel right to you
mine is the mass effect series, i really enjoyed the story for both of them but the actual gameplay i couldnt have cared less about i was truly only slogging through it to get to the next cut scene or dialogue tree

Dragon Age, for me. 

Yep, Dragon Age as well (this goes for almost every medial fantasy game too). Another is Assassin's Creed - I'm sure they're great, but I just don't really have any interest in playing them :(

same with me got the first dragon age was pretty excited it seemed a bit more jade empire (i loved the fuck out of that game)
and a bit less kotor (also good but same as mass effect great story not so combat)

but by the time i was in some ice dungeon area i had  bought like 5 new games and left it behind will probably go back to it one day though

Mass Effect, definitely. And most of the stuff made by Nintendo.

Demon Souls, the barrier of entry seems almost mythical to me at this point just through word of mouth. Whether it is difficult or not almost seems irrelevant at this point, my interest has well and truly died down.

Modern Warfare. The first was alright, but I didn't think it was some masterpiece like most people seem to.

call of duty series. Don't quite know why, I was a fan of halo, and I enjoy FPS on the PC (CSS, Quake, etc.) but playing call of duty on xbox just feels boring to me, do not understand the millions upon millions of sales.

Gears of War. Just not my type of game at all. Also, Halo.

Pretty much all of the current crop of 'modern' FPS games. I'm sick of every weapon being a hitscan with basically the only differences being rate of fire and reload times. If it uses real life guns I don't give a shit at this point.

Mass Effect and call of duty multiplayer.

Fallout series for me. Loved Elder Scrolls, but I just don't get Fallout, tried so many times to play the damn thing!

Give me Skyrim!

God of war games, 

• Demon's Souls  - which is surprising even to me. Seems like a game tailor-made for me, but it just didn't grab me. Wasn't that it wasn't too difficult, but I just couldn't get into the narrative. 
• CoD after the first MW. 
• Marvel vs. Capcom 3
• Heavy Rain
• Infamous

Oblivion and the Telltale games. Any fighting game.

BioShock, Oblivion, and Mario (Any)

COD and Dragon Age, though, if I gave the latter my time I'd probably really enjoy it.

Street Fighter & Mortal Combat - boring.

Well, Cossacks...first i fucking loved it then i stoped playing for about 4 years, and today i started again cuz my uncle plays it ever since i installed the game on his PC...i think Cossacks rekindled my love affair with RTS.

Dam there's a few, Dragon Age I played, didn't like the mechanics and couldn't see the hype about the story. Mass Effect I never played, and have never had any interest to, nor have I been interested in Bioshock. 

Pretty much every WRPG.

[insert critically acclaimed/popular fighting game here]

Oblivion. I came to it late and i suppose too much time had passed. I just couldn't look past the terrible graphics and poor animations. I'm definitely going to play Skyrim when it comes out though, i loved Fallout 3 and Fantasy games in general.

Mass Effect 2. I was shitting my pants in anticipation, counting down the days to it's PS3 release, and then I played the demo...

Also, the Little Big Planet games. The first one looked really good and the idea of creating your own levels was awesome. Then, I got the demo and... well the platforming is just kind of shit, so I didn't get the full game. When sequel came knocking, I was ready to give the controls another chance, but the demo quickly made me look elsewhere for my next purchase.

" Pretty much every WRPG. "

Aw dude. So many of them.

I know it's not actually out yet but Portal 2 for me. loved the first but have no intrest in it at all.

Anything made by Blizzard, and I feel kinda bad about that since all their games seem incredibly well made and  tuned as close to perfection as you can get. The stats-ness of them and their fantasy and sci-fi aesthetics just doesn't appeal to me.

Dragon Age, Starcraft 2, God of War.

I like Fallout but it’s a long game so I end up not playing it all the way though.

Halo.  Most were fun when playing splitscreen multiplayer with friends but that was about it.

The F.E.A.R. series for me.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Dragon Age are probably the two biggest candidates in this category for me.

• Metroid

When I try to think of a game to put on this list I've either bought it and loved it or refrained myself from buying it in the first place.

* Bethesda games
* modern fps
* nintendo games
etc.

Bioshock...played it but didnt click for me at all

Halo. I don't understand why people like spending hours upon hours in that dumb forge mode.

Any point and click adventure game, i used to enjoy them but i just cant get myself into them again.
