Games everybody loves, and you hate

Ever get really hyped up about a game, read lods of brillant reviews and great feedback from gamers? and then finally get the game and end up hateing it? i know this has happened to me, with Metroid Prime 1+2. What a snore fest, i cant understand why a game with basic fps elements and fustrating[sp?] jumping elemelts managed to get the feedback it got, maybe i didnt spend long enough with it, or i just cannot stand scanning everything in sight. And this is coming from a guy who loves all the cut scenes in mgs, [at least its telling a decent story], just i felt let down by that game.

Anyway, did this ever happen to you? i can bet a few on Halo 2, and Gta after they get hyped so much.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Hah!! And I loved MP 1 and 2 Silentbomber! Maybe they were too hard for you.

It' s the GTA series for me. I' ve played bits San Andreas and 3, and have absolutely no desire to ever play them again. I just don' t get a silly little rise out of getting to be a ' bad boy' . Those games are awful, and I wouldn' t care if Rockstar was bought out my Mary Kate and Ashely and started developing shopping simulators instead.

Actually Silentbomber, I don' t hate Halo2. Was I disappointed? just a little bit, and I mean it, just a little bit. Other than that, Halo 2 is sick, dual weilding is sooo nice, u get to play Arbiter, which btw I loved and whatever...

Game that really disappointed me is COD2 - Big Red One. " Best looking game ever..." and whatever whatever, man that games doesn' t look good at all. They have improved the explosions a bit, but other than that, same ol same ol, which I like, but i mean goddamn it, graphics suck for the time we live in. I just played it on Xbox and I' m really disappointed.

GTA San Andreas was sooooooooooooooooo hyped up and the game turned out to suck. Man that game sucks and the graphics r horrible. I started disliking the GTA series since GTA III (which is the only GTA i love). But then since it took them a lil while to make GTA SA, I thought that maybe they improved on the graphics and the gameplay was gonna be diff. Oh well, Now the only game I' m looking forward to is PD0 and Condemned and Half-Life 2 for xbox.

I also don' t like the GTA series after they went to 3D, well not as much as it was hyped at least.

Metroid prime serie,i try to love it so many times...i just cant... :S

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

GTA is definetly the one for me, i despise that game, boring!!

Metriod is hard for me to like!

1 - The entire Gran Turismo series.
2 - The Jak n Daxter series - ESPECIALLY the original. I don' t think I' ve ever hated a platformer wannabe as much as I hated the original.
3 - Grand Theft Auto 3. Played it for close to an hour and lost interest. The only Grand Theft Auto game I really really liked was VICE CITY for two reasons. The 80s music and the game took place in a version of my home town
4 - Final Fantasy 1 through infinity .. Well until they release one with real-time battles, I guess I' ll always dislike the series.

Ahh yes FF series, damn i reallly tried playing FF7 on my pc, but it simply was no fun... I guess they are for Japanese and wannabe Japaneese people :P

FF7 and all other turn based games. I don' t enjoy slow thinking games. I like real time because you have to think faster. And no, I don' t like turn based with time limits either.

GTA: San Andreas

Legend of Zelda: Windwaker

Animal Crossing

ALmost forgot the Silent Hill series. They all bored me to tears. Progress happens at a much slower rate than other survival horror games I' ve played.

Animal Crossing. It was all hyped-up at the release in europe because it was finally released after a looong time. I played it, I didn' t like it.

Also, I don' t know if everybody likes Sonic games, but I certainly don' t. BOOORING! like hell.

As far as next-gen Sonic stuff goes, the only one I thought was GREAT was the first Sonic Adventure released for the Dreamcast and later the GameCube. Every Sonic game that came afterwards disappointed me on some level.

Halo series (as well as most FPS games)
Final Fantasy series
Animal Crossing (I have more fun taking a dump)
Metal Gear Solid 2, 3
Metroid Prime series
3D Zelda games (yes that includes OOT)
Most sports games
Most crime games (like GTA, True Crime and whatnot)
RTS games (except for Herzog Zwei, which kicks insane amounts of ass!)

GTA:SA I reget buying that game ever since I bought it. That game is so overrated I swear. I cant believe I wasted 50 bucks on that boring piece of crap. I' m Glad I traded that horrid game with my nephew for Mercenaries I' m glad that at least that game is fun.

Final Fantasy series - Like the stories and art but hate the gameplay

Madden series

Tekken

---------------------------------------------------------
On a side note I loved GTA:SA like all the games of similar fashion simply because you can do just about anything (Like in Mercenaries, Elder Scrolls, True Crime). It makes for a good stress releiver. Altho in rank with the other titles of its kind it' s probably well below Mercenaries and Elder Scrolls(odd title to include with these games eh? But you can freely roam around that game and commit crimes as well).

Oh man, you have no idea how much I hate Madden (the games).

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Sometimes i when i read this forum, i wonder what games Joe actually likes playing :P

So Joe, whats the newest game you bought and enjoyed ;)

Let' s see:

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Capcom Classics Collection
Burnout Revenge
Nintendogs
Kirby Canvas Curse
MotoGP3 (Xbox)
Otogi 2

and various US and Japanese 16-bit titles on the used market.

Also I think Joe might love that Hello Kitty game released for the GameCube a few months ago! Despite the heavy candy coating, it' s actually a pretty decent game!

Fifa / Pro Evolution - Maybe it' s just because I don' t really like football (Soccer to you American lot) but both games get great reviews and spend time at the top of he UK charts and both I can' t stand. I got a cheap copy of Pro Evo 4 just so I could learn the basics and not be humiliated by my 13 year old cousin.

Resident Evil – I’ve tried to like the games. I got the first for the Saturn and Code Veronica for Dreamcast but bar some shock-tactic scaring the games did nothing for me. I’m so unimpressed with the series I’m still debating if I should get number 4.

Gran Turismo – I’m not a huge racing game fan, my favourite being Burnout and Metropolis Street Racer… but GT3 just put me to sleep. My sister loved it but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t love it.

but GT3 just put me to sleep.

IS that a figure of speech or did it actually happen? Cause the funny thing is that I literally did fall asleep while playing Gran Turismo 3.. I woke up to the largest replay file ever after crossing the finish line! My memory card wouldn' t save it. I think the replay file was close to 2 hours long, lol.. What I found interesting was how the AI cars at that point were just cruising around the level entering inaccessible areas.

Well...
Pokémon has sold 140 million copies,and kids love them,so basically its a awesome game,no matter if i dont like it,it deliver what kids what, cute monsters to train,and then go on a adventure etc,so it is with all other big games,i dont have a thing for gta,because i dont like meanless violence that just added some missions to make like thats why you bought it,and not to do rampage on the city.
But i understand why people do like gta etc.
Its all about diffrent taste,i dont trash those big games i dont like,i understand why people love them,i just doesnt.
And im sure they deserve their high score.
I understand why people doesnt love my favourite game ff7,if you dont get into the story,why sit 40-100 hours reading more text?
Or do hours of battle just to get more of it? make no sense at all,and if people doesent like building up characters and see cool limitbreaks and magic,then it make no sense press attack button for the 100000000 time in ff7,as it goes on hours and hours :P

geeeeeh wtf did i write this for? nvm thats how i see it.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!

hard? i dont care what old school side scrolling games you have played in your time, but that wasnt hard. The only truely hard game i played this gen was Devil May Cry 3 on hard mode,... that was hard. MP i could clear with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind by back while playing the game with my feet. It just bored me, thats all.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

You didnt play Ninja Gaiden?

Thats the hardest game i' ve ever played, i havent tried the DMC series, since i got rid of my playstation before the first one was released.

If u wanna talk about hard games try to play Ninja Gaiden on Hard or Halo or Halo 2 on Legendary. Halo 2 on legendary is sooooooooooooooooooooo hard man.

everybody love shenmue and to me shenmue is garbage game and my reasons are the graphics the voice acting and the gameplay those are my reasons

I' ll give you the voice acting (Tom is the best example) and the fact everyone has an opinion and likes different types of games. Can you elaborate on why you don' t like the graphics? Back on the Dreamcast no game came close and it still outshines most PS2 titles.

about the graphics the main character ryo his clothes looks like somebody glued them on and the fighting gamepay is stiff I will never like game

Back on the Dreamcast no game came close and it still outshines most PS2 titles.

I don' t know Paul, Ecco the Dolphin for the Dreamcast impressed me more than ANY game released this generation so far . That game was breath-takingly gorgeous!!!

Halo 2 and Madden and all dancing games.

I say " I hate this game!" so many times it hurts. that said, I can' t think of any specific games offhand that I despise that other people love.

Genre wise.... anything sports.... football, hockey, baseball...... put me to sleep. Watching paint dry is more entertaining.

And Joe, taking a dump can be entertaining sometimes.

But she' s right, taking a dump CAN be entertaining. Especially when you have a Nomad, Gameboy Advance SP, DS, or PSP to keep you entertained in the bathroom during that hour on the ' throne' ;)

AN HOUR???!!!??!! How could you stand the nasty smell that long? And that smell will creep up and stick to your Nomad/PSP/DS/TurboExpress/GBA/Game Gear/etc forever! I can never understand how people can read while taking a dump, either. I am in and out in less than 5 mintues. I kick ass!

In that time i got much information about the news
