If you had asked me just yesterday, what game i hated the most, i would've said inFamous. 
While i loathe and despise Crysis 2 since it doesn't deserve the Crysis name, I hated inFamous with a passion. 
 
The world felt too grim and offputting, the NPCs are twitchy and weird, you don't feel like they're human beings but rather stampeding rats in a human form, the protagonist is also very twitchy and his movement is dissatisfying (he's like a monkey on drugs), and overall, the game has only one kind of enemies, The Reapers. Though they do vary in style and powers, they're all the same basic enemy.  
The screen goes grey (near-death screen) way too fast, no matter how much you spam the dodge button the snipers across the map can still hit you, and it was all just one big clusterfuck of frustration.

Crysis 2 was a disgrace to the hallowed and reverent Crysis franchise, how dare they even release it. Might as well have took a dump in a dvd case. For me the game that always springs to mind is dead rising, I hated that when I had my first time with it but when I was leveled up a bit and understood the game better it became my favorite game for the 360. Metal Gear Solid 2 originally pissed me off with the whole Raiden thing but that ended up being my favorite game in the series.

I played InFamous last weekend and hated it almost as much as I hated Prototype. Garbage that takes the busywork of an MMO but puts it in an open world instead.

Thought it was alright from the demo, but really enjoying it after I got in the welcome back package. Though that could just be because it was free...

I might have been on of those said inFamous fans, sorry if I came off as harsh!

Higher ground and hiding behind cover. Also, look on the mini map and switch your position accordingly. 

Play Fallout 3, NOW.

Brought it ages ago and didn't like it, downloaded it with the welcome back package and i've enjoyed it more this time around.

Far Cry 2 was not a game I hated but a game I didn't understand. After returning to it, I took my time, got the right weapons, scoured the battlefield, fought tactically, learned enemy routes and managed my in-game time. That was one of the coolest gaming moments I had when everything clicked and I started to dominate.

I hated the original Assassin's Creed but after playing through AC2 I went back and really enjoyed it.

Having never played crysis, may i ask what you are talking about.  My time with crysis 2 was fun

Dead Rising. It took me four years, and six hate-filled false starts to finally try it one more time and "CLICK" it all came together.

Could you explain that ?

Yeah basically what Gike987 and H2Oyea said, and a strategy that I always found worked well for me was fighting from power lines as you move fast making you hard to hit and are constantly healed.

Look at the position of the enemies and whether they're above or below you, then change your position so you could kill them more easily. For example, if there are a bunch of enemies in front of you on the same level, climb up a building and shoot at the them from the top.

i second this

Fallout: New Vegas. 
I wanted to love, it like a child that isn't yours.
I hated it for three months until one day I decided to create a new character for shits and giggles and BAM! I fell in love.
When I realized how actually fight and what guns to use I was addicted.

 But if you have been playing the colossal masterpiece that is Crysis, with it's mindblowing and seamless fusion of open world and FPS, in addition to it's smart AI, cutting edge graphics, tight controls, gameplay/nano suit innovation, unique setting and brilliantly designed shootouts (where you can shift between stealth and assault seamlessly)

You sound like you're marketing the game. 

The only game that I can ever consider myself to have hated is Far Cry 2. And no, I never changed my mind about it. It's still crap.
 
STALKER was one game I was really couldn't care for after I tried it for the first time. There were many things that I just couldn't get over in how that game was designed (incidentally, frequently respawning enemies was one such issue, similar to FC2 in that sense). However, after retrying it some time later with the Oblivion Lost mod, I was absolutely blown away. It was (and still is) one of the most properly atmospheric games I have ever played, and I loved every minute of it. It's about the only game that put me in character where I felt I had to survive at all costs (picking strategic spots to take enemies out, sleeping when needed, eating, getting better weapons and armor, hunting for anomalies, finding cover in some deserted building and hoping it's not infested with mutants every time there is a blowout, etc). 
 
There is one moment that sticks in my mind the most in that game, where at one point I was outside in the world at night on a mission. It was raining with loud thunderclaps every now and then, and just before every thunderclap the lightning would cause everything around me to light up briefly and I could see things in the far distance that I normally wouldn't have been able to (the game itself wasn't much of a graphical powerhouse, but it damn sure had one of the best lighting engines I've seen). I was nearly out of ammo, which was especially bad because I could hear one of those invisible mutants close by. I take out my knife and try to draw out the monster and have it come to me, rather than charge in. I could hear it getting closer and I could tell the damn thing is almost right in front of me, but it still hadn't revealed itself. It goes silent for a few seconds and all I can hear is the rain. I become a bit unnerved. Then out of nowhere I hear a loud roar behind me and... Well, the thing made the mistake of crawling up on a twitchy man with a knife.

It might not sound like much here, but the kind of immersion I felt at that exact moment was really one of a kind. I was really amazed at the feeling the game invoked in me, and there were plenty of moments that did the same throughout.

I've been playing Infamous. I'm several hours on. I hate it. The controls the animation the story so far. My gf just yelled at me for playing through a game I hate so much. I just keep playing hoping it gets better. I played prototype for a couple of hours. Wasn't thrilled but I didn't hate it. This game just isn't clicking with me.

I'm glad I chose to download inFamous for free. I appreciate it more now than when I first played it. I'm still pulling disc shards out of my cock after that.

I'm playing this game now to get ready for inFamous: Second Son; it's really rough, the shooting is terrible and there is too much of it, melee is pretty much useless unless you get the drop on them, I'm only about halfway through, but I really dislike this game a lot right now. It's pretty wild playing this game after playing Saints Row IV, things have come a long way in 4 years.

@kidavenger: This was actually a really cool thread to neco, good job. I know what you mean about SR4, that game did a better job at allowing you to be the super hero then some straight up super hero games.

Anyways, I hated Fallout when I first played it, I'm talking the 1st, I couldn't understand what to do at all, I was completely lost, the controls made no sense to me, I couldn't figure out what direction to go, a room full of stupid fucking rats kept killing me, it was unbearable.

I don't know what made me go back to replay it a few years later, but by the time I did I had sort of become more knowledgeable about games in general, I was young when I played it and I had grown up on games that all had tutorials, so if I played an older game that didn't guide me on what to do in my mind that just meant the game was a broken mess made by people who didn't know what they were doing, if I had to figure something out on my own or look at the controls in the option menu or whatever the case may be, that equaled a bad game.
But luckily when I went back I had gotten over that, I realized some games gave you a helping hand and some didn't to varying degrees and I figured out the controls and even started to love that it didn't really tell you where to go, that was exciting to me! My first steps are my own! Where will this adventure take me!
And now it's one of my favorite games ever.

Yay... for necros

I still can't stand this game nor do I understand why people like it so much. It's very unsatisfying to play.

Necro for some reason, Infamous 2 is better; Infamous 1 is perfectly fine but not really amazing or anything; but it was free before PS+ did free games so that's cool. Best part of Infamous 2 is getting all of the shards by doing 1 user created mission that teleports you to all of them.

What the necro?! Just reading that OP burned my eyes.
