COD would definitely be on my list, it should have died after COD 3. Played it a few time, never for more than an hour or so at a time. Would rather play some Battlefield or old school SWAT 4. Final Fantasy I love, but since 10-2 was released they've changed it too much, and the stories since 10 aren't even close to 7 or 8. Ridge Racer has also become a Burnout clone, used to love that but now, I don't even know how it's selling... Resident Evil? Loved the originals, gone off it since they changed the paradigm. Completed 4 but didn't enjoy it quite as much, not bothered with 5 or 6. I want T- and G-Virus back. Umbrella, Wesker, Jill Sandwiches... Mmmm... I personally find most games these days are missing those special touches that made the best games great. The recession seems to have taken the magic from the industry and has brought out the greed and lazyness in it instead.
.Any turn based RPG:sleeping: .N64 Zelda games. .Halo 1, 2, & 3 .Metal Gear series (except the PSX one) .Killer instinct series. .Doom.
Another one I would like to add would be , Xenoblade , what a shit game. It's kinda funny , the shittier the game the more it goes for.
League of Legends and DotA. Maybe more than the games themselves, I probably hate how people act around it or when they are playing it.
Minecraft. But I love Terraria! Final Fantasy 8, 10, 12. I don't list 11, 13, 14 or sequels because they weren't hugely liked =) Zelda Wind Baton/Waker (I bought it because I never had an N64 and wanted Ocarina of Time) League of Legends, Defense of the Ancients and everything like it Almost every FPS game. Exceptions are the Portals (not really an FPS anyway) and original Wolfenstein 3D. Skyrim Borderlands Legend of the Holy Sword / Secret of Mana series
I definitely wouldn't say "hate," but for some reason I have never been able to get into Metroid Prime... and I love the Gamecube. I've tried to start a file on many different occasions, but I haven't managed to get very far before stopping (second boss or so). The only other Metroid game I've played at all is Super Metroid. I thought that was a very good game, despite never beating it. I plan to try Prime again in the near future.
I would have to say every Mario platformer game after Mario 64 I enjoyed Mario 64 and all the other Mario platformers for NES, SNES, Gameboy and Gameboy Color but I started to hate the series from Super Mario Sunshine. It just feels like they are trying too hard to add all new twists to the gameplay when all I want is a basic fun platformer.
There is a ton of games I don't like: - NFS starting at NFS: UG. I started NFS at NFS2. NFS3 was the best part of the series and then they fucked it up with UG. - GTA starting at IV, SA is also pretty bad but acceptable. With IV there were too many changes and it didn't feel like GTA to me anymore - Basicly any RPG. I can't stand them - too much time necessary to get anywhere - Castlevania. Tried this last year and felt the controls are horrible and the game was too boring - Loco Roco. This was horrible, couldn't play it - Patapon. This was also horrible, couldn't play it either - Left 4 Dead. This sucks so bad.. I'd pay to not play it - The Portal games are also not as good as everyone claims. They are fun but nothing groundbreaking - ... //Edit: I'd also have to agree with BamBoo. But I didn't play the newer Marios enough, so I can't judge.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. That game gets so much ALMOST right, and then misses just enough to ruin it. Most people rave about the game, but to me it fails on so many levels. I don't just mean that it's too easy, too contrived, that the RPG elements are too simplistic, that the big twist is too predictable, etc (though they are all huge complaints), but there's so much more. The graphics are almost fantastic. And I don't mean almost as in "Very good but not quite fantastic", I mean "Could have been fantastic but instead are irritatingly flawed". There's something (or several things) about the graphical style that jars with the game's atmosphere. For a start the characters look too cartoonish for a game that's about treachery and murder (and yes, XIII (the first person shooter) was cartoony and about treachery and murder, but XIII looked serious, with Dishonoured, the characters look like it's meant slightly humourously, which doesn't fit). And for some reason, the game world isn't convincing. Normally I have no problem accepting the textured blocks in a game as buildings, but in Dishnonoured, they seem (to me) to be just that, not genuine buildings (in a game world) but huge impenetrable blocks with (admittedly mostly very nice) textures painted on them. The upgrades are too powerful, i.e. the vision upgrade (can't remember what it's called), the first level lets you see through walls and let's you see which way the character is looking, and the second upgrade completely removes the need to search/explore as it highlights every collectable too!. Instead, there should have been say five levels for this, level 1 let's you see through walls, level 2 let's you see a little further, level 3 let's you see still further, level 4 let's you see which way people are looking, and level 5 highlights other things too (but not money, leave the player some reason to explore). Deus Ex, more than a decade earlier, got it right with it's vision enhancement. Also, the game rewards you for not killing people (in that you get the 'good' ending if you've knocked out or avoided most enemies), yet most of the upgrades are for ways of killing people! And considering you're supposed to be a noble person, why would you steal money (and often from people)? The game world never feels threatening, you never feel like the corrupt government is going to descend on you in force, and each mission feels like an isolated level in a computer game, you never feel like it's a living, breathing world. The story lacks branching elements (at one point, for example, I wanted to do something (which most people would have wanted to do, I think) yet the game wasn't programmed to allow it, so I couldn't). I could go on, but basically this game disappointed me so much. It's so vastly inferior to the Thief games in all but graphics (and even then, I prefer the much rougher graphics of the Thief games, as at least they are consistent, whereas the much prettier graphics of Dishonoured sometimes seem deliberately satirical (such as some character's faces), or just badly judged.
I played a lot of the GTA series, all the way from the top down racer to the PS2 games, including the actually quite awesome DS version. I've only played GTAIV for a bit and I know what you mean. If it didn't have the GTA branding on it I wouldn't of thought it was a GTA game, albeit another companies idea of what GTA should be. I can't put my finger on what makes me think this either. Everything seems too realistic and clunky.
Super Smash Bros./Melee/Brawl. Just can't get into them, and I've tried. After Street Fighter they just seem shallow and unrewarding.
Mortal Kombat series, others classic fighting game series like Soul calibur, DoA, Tekken, ect. hack and slash games like Devil May Cry, God of War, ect. this games all about combo buttons, controller destroy, senselessly, boring and SO for kids, IMHO (yeah i know, nobody will agree with me) oh and "Naruto" - game series on all platforms, so many trash behind this title...
What games do I hate that others love? Hmmm, the list would be way too big to type out. I'm a very picky gamer...lots of the popular games that others love I just can't get into. Tower Defense, Pokémon style games, Angry Birds / iPhone drivel...that would be my current list.
Racing games in general! I can never get into those modern racing games except for the 16 & 32/64bit old school ones imo. I know some of you might hate me for saying this but Shrimps i meant shrumps are kinda wack & boring to my tastes and end up falling asleep so quickly. Popular overrated Super Nintendo games! I just hate the fact they say its all the best games in the world escpeically the YouTube "Retro" community kills me with that crap everytime! They're not all that great but yet the Genesis never gets a equal share or half of the pie. So I tend to focus sorely only on Sega Genesis titles + imports hoping for the best of the system soon.
