Games I dislike, but for some reason everyone else loves
As the title says.
NB:
What follows are the opinions of me, myself and I. In no way does this detract from your own opinions, however misguided they may be.
List items
-
1. Halo 2
After Halo: CE the whole series just nosedived into mediocrity. Take away the pistol, AI dynamics and add dual wielding and you've got a whole lot of boring. They aren't bad games per se, its just after the first game being nigh on godly, there is no excuse.
-
2. Call of Duty
Ergh.
Yes, COD4 is the best playing FPS. The controls are gorgeous...but thats about it.
I could never understand why people enjoy shooting each other in the face online.
If you ask someone why this is their favourite game they say: 'the online'
Any game that lives by its online alone and isn't an MMO is a massive fail in my books.

3. inFamous
I don't get this at all. This game was, to use a Ryan word, Janky as hell. Clipping, freezing, bad animations etc. On top of that traversal was slow and boring, the moral choices were badly implemented and finally the story was crap. Prototype was far superior in many ways, not least the main character. Mercer has little in the way of personality, but that actually makes sense..What's Cole's excuse?
-
4. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Yes, the second game is great.
This however is a tiresome bore to play. Crap targeting, goons appearing out of nowhere repeatedly, bad story. At least it gave us the much improved second game, and made Mr North a household name
-
5. Mario
I grew up with a megadrive, so this is given.
I don't get why people like Mario games. I find them boring as hell and too slow. They may be the best constructed games ever..but they're annoying and repetative. I do like Yoshi's Island on the DS though.
-
6. The Legend of Zelda
ITS THE SAME FUCKING GAME EACH TIME
I really, really don't understand this one. It's beyond me
-
7. Pokémon
SO'S THIS ONE
-
8. Grand Theft Auto IV
and pretty much anything put out by R*.
I like the idea, the concept..but somewhere a long the line something gets added that ruins it for me, be it 'realism', controls or annoying cousins. I've just come to terms with the fact that R* and I will never get on.
-
9. Bethesda Softworks
So Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls.
I hate games that just dump you in the middle of a massive world and say 'go forth and kill lots of rats/things' Bethesda games and I are like oil and water. You can have 'em.
-
10. Shenmue
It was great at the time I suppose..but now?
I found both games incredibly boring. I can see the appeal, it just didn't click with me.
-
11. LittleBigPlanet
As with above. If you want to make games and be creative..great
If you want to play games..go somewhere else.
-
12. Burnout Paradise
Why did they break one of my favourite series?
Takedown is a work of art, and then they give us this aimless sequel two doors down.
My niece loves it though..she loves parking the most. No really..PARKING.
-
13. Half-Life 2
I really liked the first one, this one literally did nothing for me.
edit: okay, it pretty good (I'm replaying it) but damn that loading time....
'Oh this is cool'....loading...
GAH
-
14. Armored Core
WTF is this?
Seriously...it's as much fun to play as getting smacked in the face with a wet fish..and you're not really fetishistic in that vein.
-
15. Dead Space
I get that the UI in this game is AMAZING. No doubt.
Shame that the rest of the game is boring as hell.
At least it's not Dante's Inferno...ergh
