Good Games I Don't 'Get'
Good games, for one reason or another, I didn't really get into.

Great RPG, but for whatever reason, didn't keep my interest to stick with it to the end. Much preferred the sequel.
Love the art, and the light/shade battle mechanics are pretty cool, but the encounter rate put me off. That said I'd like to give it another try sometime.
I played this on a OPM demo disc as a kid and declared it the worst game I'd ever played (rabbit running along a straight line didn't captivate me). Apparently it's regarded as a cult classic? Would love to give it another go now with some extra years under my belt.
Any game where you can potentially level up to 9999 and each item has a randomly generated 100-floor dungeon is something that would interest most RPG fans, but Disgaea proved to be a bit too overwhelming (and, if I had got into it, very time-consuming I'm sure).
The Peter Molyneux hype machine caught me hook, line, and sinker for the first game and I felt it was a bit of a let down. Everyone seems to rave about the sequel, but it just bored me after playing something like Morrowind or Oblivion.
I played somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of XII, but it never really took off for me. The setting is cool and I really like Balthier, but the "active dimension battle" (ADB) and gambits I never fully got to grips with.
My first Rockstar game (bar Table Tennis), and based on this I probably wouldn't enjoy the rest of their games. The critical and commercial accolades obviously show its a good game, and I love the look and setting, but it just hasn't gripped me at all.
