Games that you don't get.

I always wanted to love several games, but they never seemed to be any fun. Maybe the comoonity can help me love these games, but as for right now I don't get them or think they are hard to play. Here are a few of those games.
 

• Final Fantasy VII - Aeris just died a horrible death, now we should go snowboarding.
• Fallout 2 - This one is just too buggy, someone needs to work on a patch.
• Knights of the Old Republic - I really want to like C&C RPG's, but I never want to make a wrong decision. That leads me to look for a guide beforehand which ruins the fun of a C&C RPG.
• Metal Gear Solid 2 - Totally awesome, but then the story just seems totally absurd the second time through.

• Super Metroid - I really want to buy and play Shadow Complex, but me not liking this game is kind of turning me off. I think its just the lack of a narrative pointing me in the right direction, though.

• Animal Crossing - You know doing a little fishing, just hanging. That's something I want to do, but not in a video game.
• Street Fighter series - I'm no good, and I have not a teacher to teach me.
• Any RPG that's not real-time action (Fallout Tactics, Freedom Force, Fallout 2, KOTOR) - I used to love games like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, and I even liked Dragon Quest VIII. However, I think my patience has thinned by the bloody and constantly rewarding shooters of the current generation.
• Forza Motorsport 2 - This is a game that I will probably never ever play again, and while I'm more of a Burnout guy, I feel if I could just get good enough I might be able to enjoy this one.

• Action games (Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence) - I always want to play on the hardest difficulty, because that's how you unlock stuff, but I'm never good enough for that. However, by the time I understand that I'll never beat it on the hardest difficulty I feel like I just wasted a huge chunk of my life getting to the last or second-to-last level, thus, I'm not willing to spend even more time on the lower difficulty setting.

Halo 3, Modern Warfare 2, and Noby Noby Boy. 
 
I couldn't be bothered to go into detail.

I don't really understand why people like Kingdom Hearts. I don't dislike the series, I'm just indifferent to it.

 Jeanne D'arc 
 I was looking for a PSP rpg and several people suggested Jeanne D'arc.  I never played a tactical RPG before so I decided to give it a shot.  It's obviously not the genre for me.

Games with QTE "gameplay". It always just seemed to me like the devs admitting they couldn't work the mechanics of doing an action into the actual gameplay, so here press a button every 5 seconds while we play an in game cutscene. Just no.

How Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 can take itself seriously I'll never know.

 There is an old old PC game called Twilight 2000.  Where basically the world ended and you have to build an army.  The list of skills was insane.  Literally 200+ skills of stuff each person could learn.   And you could have about 50 guys or so.  You could have tanks/planes/boats.   The instruction manual was about 100 pages.  I remember watching my dad play it and it just looked crazy difficult.  It was turn based strategy.  Came out in 1991 even before X-Com.     I recently tried to play through it again and I forgot to bring an anti tank person ( all you start out with is a Humvee.)  and I got utterly decimated by a enemy tank.  Literally blew my whole crew up with one shot to my Humvee.     I've tried about 3 times to play this game and I can never get more then a couple missions in before I figure out I messed up and concede for another couple of years.

" I once worked with this young dude who had a Triforce bag and compared every single RPG he ever played to Ocarina Of Time. I'm not saying he loved talking about the magic of that game or it's era or anything. He literally thought all RPGs were shit because they weren't exactly like Ocarina of Time. Mass Effect 1 and Fallout 3 were awful games in his eyes because Ocarina of Time existed.  I didn't get that.  That, and the Halo franchise. "

Banjo-Kazooie:Nuts and Bolts
 
 
I don't like building vehicles.. Much like I hated playing with lego's as a kid. =/
 
 
Also. I have no soul as the brightness and colour gave me headaches. Urgh.

Halo 2, 3, Wars, ODST and Reach. 
 
God I miss CE.

Any japanese game. 0 appeal. 

I don't get people not getting games

Fallout 3 - It's too bland, and the gameplay was very janky, I found it very boring to play.
 
Halo ODST - I played it in one sitting cooperatively with a friend, and it didn't feel action packed like the previous Halo games.  It was just standard Halo 3 combat, but in a very mellow story, and without the Masterchief.  When we began, my friend was pumped to play it, but when we finished it, he was like "Wow, that was a waste of time", and shut the console off.  I don't get how that was on anyone's top 2009 list on GB.

Bioware RPG's- Every time one is released, I get super excited. Some geek sense way down in my bones squeels in utter joy. And yet, I generally don't like them. KOTOR was fun for a while, Baulder's Gate became boring after 20 hours, which made Baulder's Gate 2's gameplay feel really lame. Mass Effect is slow as hell, and I don't care about the characters. Same thing with Dragonage Origins, plus the combat is the same as Baulder's Gate. 
 
In fact, pretty much the only Bioware game I really like is MDK2... and my favorite Bioware RPG is probably the Sonic RPG.

Fallout 3... forced myself to play 15 hours.. only liked it

Demon's Souls is the easily the biggest anomaly to me.

Assassin's Creed, BIOSHOCK 2, JRPGs, Street Fighter, Katamari

I still have no idea why people like TES III:Morrowind so dang much. I have tried multiple, multiple, times to get into it with very little success.
 
Also, Fallout 1 and 2. Maybe It would be different if I played them when they came out more than 10 years ago, but there are certainly better RPGs from that time period out there (in my opinion).

• Fairytale Fights
• Naughty Bear

I thought of a couple more that I didn't like/get
 
RTS games (Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, Starcraft) - mostly because I'm no good at any competitive online game that isn't a shooter
SNES RPGs - the main offenders are Earthbound, Final Fantasy III, and Chrono Trigger.
 
These are by no means bad games, its just I'd rather play something else than these games.

Bioshock- Big twist was... not so much.

If I were to mention them at all, people would rain fury down upon me and your thread would be locked faster than you can say "Jack Frost."

Dynasty Warriors. There are games I don't like and what not. But I don't understand how people enjoy those games. They are just mind-numbingly boring.

" Bioshock- Big twist was... not so much. "

I can see the appeal of every type of game.
 
Anyways, the only genres I can't enjoy are RTS/Flight Sim games.

Fallout 2 buggy? Whaaaaat? Even so, there are fan patches already. And Fallout Tactics isn't an RPG.
 
I'd have to go with Fallout 3 as a big one I don't get. I LOVED the first two Fallout games, which practically excludes me from enjoying Fallout 3. Bioshock is my main one. I don't understand one bit why people like it. I can understand why people might like Fallout 3 if they hadn't played the first two... but I can't imagine any scenario of liking Bioshock for any reason.

Man I wish that I had some sort of list that stated games that I don't get.
