What games do you really not like?

Post Reply New Topic

I will agree that some of the old games are still golden despite their age... Once in a while they do nice things with 3D though.

I'm ambivalent with j-rpgs. I love them for the carachters, general atmosphere, storyline but I "hate" them when it comes to having to go through menus to set your team. I mean, I like videogames because they give me immediate action, I don't wanna have to overthink. The thing I really hate anyway is the randomness of certain fights, where you have no real control on the outcome, you may spend time and energy to set it the best you can just to see it fail, that can get really frustrating (I'm currently stuck on both The Last Remnant and Lost Odyssey).

I'll have to admit, I really don't like first person shooters. I'm just not good at them, I never have been. I like my action to be third person, I find shooting in 3rd person to be a lot more enjoyable.

Lost_Soul, I'm not too fond of FPS games but, then again that's cause the last time I played Call Of Duty, it tended to be everyone for themselves not, were everyone worked as a team to win the game and all..I actually like some sports games like NBA Live 2008 and beyond cause, going around fouling someone can really get on someone's nerves. Mind you though, that is not the only tactic which is used in my arsenal though.. 2nd, I've considered playing games like Godzilla: Unleashed but, I don't have any console gaming system at this moment.Well, that does it for me on this..

I *hate* FPS games... there's very little strategy involved (except for CTF games, and that is usually just form a blob around the flag carrier)... The only FPS games I have ever played for any substantial period of time are Star Wars Jedi Academy and Counter-strike (the latter only for like a week)... In addition, the multiplayer modes often attract the lowest denominator of gamers, which include the common 12 year old boy, which completely ruins the enjoyability any of these games might have had...

Unlike most of the other people in this thread, I'm a big fan of RTS... The ability to give orders to multiple units opens up a whole field of possibilities... Yes, I've played bad RTS's before, don't get me wrong (I'm looking at you, Rise&Fall)... but even some of the mediocre games still allow for some general strategizing... Star Wars: Empire At War, for all its bugginess, and LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth 2, have what I think is one of the best gameplay systems for an RTS: a hybrid between a "global" turn-based map played in the style of a game of Risk, and individual battlefields that you bring units built in global mode into to do the actual combat, which allows you to control the overall strategy and the more indepth tactical modes at the same time...

When it comes to RPG's it's a mixed bag. I'm not as much a fan of Japanese games (although some good ones like FF8 and FF10 show up), but pretty much anything by Bioware is automatically golden (the only thing I don't like about the company is that they release 6 months earlier on the shitbox 360 than on PC, but I get the feeling that was something forced on them by microsoft, so I don't blame them for it)... Bethesda is also good (I wasted over 1000 game hours on Morrowind, and lesser amounts on Oblivion and Fallout 3, but overall the games they do are well done)...

Can't think of anything at the moment, but I'm sure many here among us know what I'm talking about when I say that I find games infuriating where there are only a few save points and they're few and far between, and when you die at a really difficult point you have to play the game again back at some distant save point.

99% of console games
The Halo Series
The Call of Duty Series
World of Warcraft is top on the list

On the other hand love games like these:
VALVe and Source Mods
Total War Series
ICO (Ico and Shadow of the Colossus)
Legend of Zelda
Pikmin
NCSoft's Guild Wars
Assassin's Creed was good but short and not so replayable
World of Goo was a good one.
Love nDoors. Only good free mmo creator I have on my list.
The Burnout Series

ToadOfSteel, Yes I've always been a fan of rts games in the likes of Rome:Total War or Rsie of Legends and many others that come into this category.Mind you though, I don't have a computer of my own at this moment so, I'm not playing any games Still, once I've finally finish building my own computer system I shall pick up on some gaming once more..

One stupid game would be Clyde's Adventure. It's an old game for the PC and likely won't run on your computer properly unless you have DOS box. To the point he's a fat-guy in a red hoodie with a magic wand (he also has a mustache). It's not enough that you're dead in one hit (there are no enemies in the game btw) but you loose energy just by walking. There are even invisible triggers you have to trip on to complete some levels.

Casual Games I hate them .... I hate them.
