Acclaimed legacy games that you just couldn't get into?

For me personally, I could never get into Jet Grind Radio. I really tried to get into this game, but despite my efforts I could not. I mostly had issues with the gameplay and I sort of thought of it as repetitive.

*Prepares for onslaught* However, one game that I have tried and tried to like, but for whatver reason never enjoyed was the Metroid series. Maybe it was because my first experience with Metroid was the GC releases, I tried playing Super Metroid a while back and was mostly uninspired. I feel like apologizing to anyone who likes this series, but I simply don't get the appeal of Metroid.

What highly revered games have you tried, but just didn't get?

pretty much any Zelda game, I tried playing most of them (all of the main ones apart from Twilight Princess), and I just couldn't get into them.

i cant think of high ranking game i couldnt get into except the FF series

I've been lucky; pretty much every legacy game I've played was one I could get into.

Bioshock

Final Fantasy series and Shadow of the Colossus.

Ocarina of Time, I loved Majora's mask, and basically every other game but OOT and Twilight Princess just did not hold my interest for more then a half hour at a time.

Metal Gear Solid. Tried playing both the first and second one but I can't do it. I don't find it appealing.

zelda console games...iown and have beaten all handhelds but i don't like console ones

starcraft: pathing issues...friends of mine who played it took it way to seriously

This will probably get me publically flogged, but... Castlevania. I played Super Castlevania IV as a child and it bored me, tried again with Symphony of the Night some twenty years later, same result. No idea why.

Zelda series and FF series, i dare the the first two zelda were OK game (not refering to adventure of link!), FF III is great as story, VII is pale not played other in main series, not played GTA series for its gifted violence

Most of the GTA games (except for Liberty City on PSP), a lot of Final Fantasy Games, The Zelda Series, and Paper Mario.

Chrono Trigger

Every GTA besides SA

Half life series

Wow, great to hear that I'm not alone with this. The last Zelda I played was Wind Waker and I even got quite far, but then it just dragged on too long for my tastes.

Half Life series. It's just plain boring. Sure the graphics were ahead of its time, but it's just another boring and generic FPS. It doesn't do much to set itself apart.

Metroid series. It's hard to explain why I find a game boring, but Metroid is just plain boring.

Grand Theft Auto III. I thought it was cool at first, I liked the open world to explore, but there's not much to do. I liked Grand Theft Auto IV a lot more.

For those that said MGS, what about the game did you not like? Just curious. Also, please state what version you played as some later versions had a few improvements.

Final Fantasy series and most JRPGs, GTA series (I can't play that seriously), World of Warcraft and MMORPGs in general (I only liked RuneScape a little), Deus Ex, Pokemon series, Tomb Raider series, Age of Empires series

I don't like the long cut-scenes and repetitive "hide and seek" gameplay about MGS.

Half Life 1 did everything to set itself apart from every other shooter at the time, healthpacks/ammo in crates instead of everywhere, amazing graphics for 1998 it also came with worldcraft and many mod tools making it extremely easy to mod

Half Life 2 might not have been as revolutionary, but the physics alone where unparalleled at the time, no one could match how open source half life 2 was, and the graphics were also top notch

i guess i am a little bias because those are my favorite games of all time but they are anything but generic shooters

Could never get into Zelda at all. It's honestly one of the most boring games I've ever played...

Whoa, someone who I can relate to on the matter. I tried a sh*tload of Zelda games and thought they were... just not my style.

The Final Fantasy series. I don't hate the games, I just have a hard time playing them for more than 30 minutes before I move on to something else.

Lunar, SMT Nocturne, Persona 3, Metroid Prime, Suikoden II, Skies of Arcadia, Tactics Ogre, Zelda - Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness ...

Some of these games I beat ... and some I may beat in the future. Some of these games I don't really dislike, but they didn't do much for me. Others I liked less.

Mega Man

Pokemon series. I played it once and I don't think I'll play that game again

Pretty much any turn based RPG type gane. They just bore me to death. I used to want to try playing all those great RPG's on the SNES but just could not get into it. Also, I just never had a thing for the Metal Gear series as well.

I want to also add..

Mario 64 - While revolutionary, I just never really liked the transition to 3D

Any Zelda game after Link to the Past

The Mega Man X4 and up

Pokemon games, although its probably more due to my age (29)
