High rated games you just didn't care for

To name a few,

Uncharted 3 - nice graphics but nothing like I expected it to be, rushed story, 1st half minus chateau level is mostly platforming / easy puzzles, 2nd half starts to get good gameplay wise, but then it's over

GTA IV - detailed rendition of NYC but way too much realism, clunky controls, horrible cast of characters

Assassin's Creed 3 - Ubi's milking of a great franchise, boring protagonist, Tyranny DLC looks wack as well

Ni No Kuni - great graphics but way too much hand holding, text based dialog, slow moving story gets boring. Either that, or maybe I've just outgrown JRPG's.

Dark Souls - I like the difficult fights, but having to start the entire level over because a treasure chest you opened turns out to be a human eating monster just didn't do it for me

Minecraft - even if this was free, I don't see myself racking up hours with it

COD / BF - just recently discovering how innovative Bioshock 1 was, this was the 1st FPS I actually took interest in

Gears of War- I like enemies that die quickly.  I don't mind if they can kick out some high damage themselves.  I'd rather the stakes were high and that enemies can kill me as quickly as I can kill them.  Bullet sponges aren't fun.  Ditto for a lot of the third person action games out there.  I probably suck at Ninja Gaiden, God of War and Devil May Cry, but I just hate wailing on enemies that don't go down.

Dishonored- Knowing upfront that I had to play this game non-violentently in order to get the best ending damaged my enjoyment of the game.  I would frequently find myself reloading the game any time I screwed up, rather than adapting to the fact that I now had to get bloody, I'd just start over.

Assassin's Creed- Somehow I own all of the games in the series.  Maybe it is because Ubisoft usually drops the prices really quickly.  I know I haven't paid full price for an AC game since AC2 came out.  I love the eye candy, and I like running around and exploring.  The actual gameplay sucks pretty hard.  The enemies are a f*cking joke, and I like some stealth in my stealth games.

Those are the big offenders for me, although lately I'm finding myself turned off by the typical 'cinematic' 4-7 hour campaign in most games and am falling back on lengthier RPGs and sandbox games.

Battlefield 3.

I agree a lot with the OP.

Let me elaborate.

GTA 4. Movement was annoying. This is kinda like the tripwire developer complaining about players liking movement a certain way -- well, we're used to mario-like acceleration. GTA 4 didn't have this. Too realistic.

Also just too cynical and crass. 

Uncharted 3. it's a good game, but wasn't the awesomeness that was Uncharted 2. It didn't make enough improvements over Uncharted 2, but was a very minor refinement.

and now,

METAL GEAR SOLID 4. Gets a 10.0 rating from the fanbois. Deserves at best a 6.5 rating. Terrible game, long stupid cutscenes, doesn't force stealth, just a bad bad game.

Assassins Creed games

GTA games

Red Dead Redemption

Uncharted 2: What little control the game gave you was sub par at best...

Assassin's Creed II: I see great potential in this series, but the combat, traversal, stealth, and missions need a heck of a lot of work.

Red Dead Redemption

Assassin's Creed series

Far Cry 3

Fallout: New Vegas

Half Life series

Grand Theft Auto IV

Just off of the top of my head.

The God of Wars game. I just do not care about the game play.

The Journey, it was given game of year, but I have not heard anything good about the game play.

HipHopBeats

Uncharted 3: The whole series is too "safe" for my tastes.

Demon's Souls: Got a few bosses into it and realized that this game is just not for me. May have to give Dark Souls a try to see if it's any different.

The Binding of Isaac: I didn't think it was possible, but this game grossed me out too much to play it. Maybe not high-rated or all that popular, but still.

I can't seem to get in to Demon Souls and Borderlands.

there are lots. every now and then i'll play a call of duty and that's unimpressive. there's heavy rain, devil may cry 4, mass effect 3, assassin's creed, tekken DR, and plenty more. then there are all sorts of games that get rave reviews all over the place that i have no interest in. are they bad games? i couldn't say, but i'd rather be trying other games.

Assassin's Creed 3, I just didn't like playing it at all. It had a good set-up, but I didn't care for it at all.

Team Fortress 2. Never really caught my interest though I have tried a few matches.

Can't say that the mechanics feel bad it just didn't have that fun factor to me.

There are plenty; The God of War series, Uncharted series, Mario series, Legend of Zelda series, Tomb Raider series, Crysis series, FarCry series, Ni No Kuni, Megaman Series, Deus Es HR, Borderlands, Red Dead series, Halo series, Gears of War series, Ratchet and Clank, I could go on but I'll just stop here.

God of War series, Uncharted series, Halo series, COD, Battlefield, Dark/Demon Souls to name a few.

Final Fantasy Series-Mainly Because I don't like Turn based RPG's

Madden-don't care for sports games.

Grand Theft Auto-This Series Just annoys Me for some reason.

Gears of War-played it and thought it was nothing unique and special about it.

Halo-same thing. Nothing special about it.

The high-rated games I've played that really didn't appeal to me include...

- Halo
- Mass Effect
- Diablo
- Ninja Gaiden
- CoD: Modern Warfare
- Command & Conquer

I also have no interest in the GTA series, Battlefield series, racing games or sports games.

Too many to mention..

Call Of Duty firstly.. Just not interested at all in this franchise..

Avoided GTA titles for years.. But just on the final mission of GTA4.. Won't play another though.. Some of the missions were more like work than play due to terrible character controls

10/10 What a joke!!

MG3 was such a good game too.

But MGS4...utter garbage.

BF3 I have played. I enjoyed teh SP campaign a lot actually. Frostbite is the *best* game engine out right now.

MP is actually too arcadey though. Way too arcadey. 

God of War 3 deserves a mention. GOW1 was pretty amazing with what it did with PS2 hardware. GOW3 isn't a technical standout.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 bored the crap outta me.

Red Dead Redemption

GTA IV

God of War

Gears of War

Zelda

CoD series after MW2

Battlefield

Saint's Row

GTAIV

Devil May Cry (new)

Metal Gear Solid/Rising

Vanquish

Shadows of the Damned

Dead Space

Max Payne

Devil may Cry. That game just lost me. Meh.

Halo - boring, linear, generic, and dull campaigns. All of them. I don't see why anyone calls them fun. its even boring in co-op! always felt disconnected in each campaign. Its very hard for me to get into.

every KH game besides the first 2 - all youre doing is attacking, and the Disney charm is lost.

Dark Souls - I'd give it a rent if there was a demo(not sure if there is now), but it honestly looks ridiculously boring.. the combat, generic art style and theme, etc. why brag about a game about its difficulty?

Mass Effect 1 and 2 bored the crap outta me.

That all I can think of for now.

one I didn't care for that I can think of right off hand is The Walking Dead, Though I may end up getting the game eventually on Playstation 3 Disc.

I would say Call of Duty, but I do like Call of Duty World at War.

Wow, so much Uncharted hate in here, which is kind of surprising. It'd be nice to hear some reasons why you guys would never play Uncharted.Black_Knight_00

I played Uncharted 2 over at a friend's house and I was bored out of my mind. It was so generic, predictable and uninspired. It had Hollywood summer blockbuster written all over it with its "cinematic" setpieces and boring design and dialogue/characters. In my opinion, Naughty Dog is the epitome of what's wrong with developers today, let's just do whatever's popular at the moment without an ounce of creativity.

We don't do dubs for anything, thank God. Just subtitles and that's only for films and TV. Games are always in English.

Halo, Grand Theft Auto IV, Assassins Creed 3 and Red Dead Redemption.
