Games a lot of people like that you hate

So here are some games that get mentioned by a lot of people as great that I absolutely hated -

Freedom Fighters:
For the life of me I can not see the appeal of this game.  It had bad graphics, poor environments and atmospheres, etc.  And fighting your way to a flag and raising it got boring after the second time doing it!  I thought it was just terrible and yet still hear people talking about how good it is.  I honestly do not understand this.

NFS Most Wanted: 
I consider this one of the worst racing games ever made.  I did a little experiment where I unmapped my brake button and played the game.  Not being able to use the brakes did not affect this game at all!  That is absurd, a racing game that does not even need brakes!  And to add insult to injury the brakes are actually something you can “upgrade” on your cars!!  How people can say it’s a good game is way beyond me!

I will add more later and might be adding Deus Ex to this list because I'm playing it now but have only played the first level.  So far I think its terrible.

What are some of yours?

These games I dont like one bit.

Halo2

Gears Of War

BF2

WoW

Cod2

Final Fantasy series.thusaha

Final fantasy Halo2 and guild wars

Fable, Halo 2 God of War or any GTA GameWootex

Wow, how can you not like GTA???

i second freedom fighters

i can't understand why people praise this game or why gs gave it a 9.3.  c'mon...  SUPERB???  it was a 7.5 at best, imo.  i played it when it came out and it was just alright.  i played it recently and thought no better.  i did finish the game both times.

good points: concept, jesper kyd's soundtrack, no-frills squad mechanics, some of the modeling

i guess i don't hate it, but it certainly isn't one of the greats

i'll throw in halo series while i'm at it.

well than maybe you dont like fps.....anyway probably the game that i hate is super mario maaaaan that game sucks.. ass but its not for the pc.. for the pc there aren't any games that i hate that many people like.....

Starcraft: comeon people, there are so many better games out there with well-balanced armies, its time to kill this game!  Lets move on, that means you too Korea.

Gears of War: vanilla shooter with no open-ended gameplay.  A "on-a-rail" shooter in the purest sense.

BF 1942: I just couldnt get over the sheer "arcadiness" of the game.  I dont like dying in one or two shots, but DICE could have atleast made it somewhat realistic.  I mean, cannon shells that lose trajectory after 200 yards? Whats up with that.

Anywho, the Sims gets the first place for... being the one of the most boring games I have ever played. Seriously, doing the same crap over and over (and over) again gets boring in a second, for me at least.

In reality, most multiplayer games are repetative. HINT HINT. For example, Counter-Strike I dread! It is the worst game out there and so many people play (shows how unintelligent the gaming community is) World of Warcraft isn't bad but not my favorite. Halo and Halo 2 have the same theme as CS with repetativeness over and over. Basically any multiplayer-induced games suck due to the unintelligent players playing them.

The Sims series is great! You can do anything you want. Noted that it is more of a general public game (a lot of girls I know play it because the game is actually intelligent, I don't disagree with them). Personally, I would play sims every once in a while to get away from the bombing. In essence, anyone who insults the sims are not very intelligent in my eye.

Anyone who plays Counter-Strike a lot... well there is only one word to describe you guys and it start with the letter L.

well i hate the Battlefield series, Zelda( Final Fantasy is soo much better IMO), super mario, and the MGS series

i've played them all but i just didnt find anything to them

ohh thats right i forgot to add the sims in there i played it for a while but then it got reallllllllllllllly boring reallly fast a total waste of time for me

Hey guys! Let's prove to the world how "hardcore" or "nonconformist" we are by claiming to hate games that everyone loves! I'll start: I HATE GTA San Andreas. Why, you ask? Well, I dunno, I'm just saying that so people think I'm really god damn cool.lol_waffles

Way to take an innocent question and twist it around so we look like jackasses.

I think someone has a superiority complex and uses these boards to make himself feel better...

That is the difference.  I am able to point out why I hate games like Freedom Fighters and Most Wanted.  I'm not just saying it to be "cool".

WOW- monthly fee, for a cartoon RPG?

The Sims- Hi tech tamagochi, generally I like some hurting involved in my games.

GTA- Repetitive missions, got tired after a while

Winning Eleven- Not really into sports games, but my friends really loved this one and I really hated it.

Fynal Fantasy- Great cutscenes and story, but turn based combat really ruined it for me. 

Mario 64- Not a PC game, but still one of the most popular and beloved Nintendo games, and I totally hated it!.

Kingdom Hearths- I dont know why everyone liked this one, Mickey is in it for gods sake!!

Well he does have a point.  It so funny to hear people bash The Sims saying things like "all you do it empty the trash and go to the bathroom, how boring!".  When Sims has a lot of strategy like any other RTS.  Look at CoH, I could just as easily say "all you do is build barracks and capture points over and over how boring!".  The point is there is a LOT of repetitiveness to any RTS and that is part of the game. 

If you think raising a flag to capture a point to open a supply line is cooler than buying a restaurant and setting the menu, prices, making money, designing the entire structure anyway you want with a brilliant open ended architectural model etc. then play CoH and not The Sims.  But both games are a lot more similar than dissimilar when you really look at them.

I would have to say WoW and Guild Wars.imthelumberjack

GTA series- most the games are based on the premise of stealing, dealing drugs and just attacking normal people; I hate the "gangsta" overtone wookieeassassin

I don’t remember doing drugs in any of the GTA games.  And stealing and violence are a big part of a lot of games, look at Oblivion.  But that’s fine, if you don’t like gangster themes that are your business.  At least to have a reason even if I can't understand it at all. 

I get tired of the do-gooder twist.  Where people think its fine to kill tons of people as long as they are "bad" guys and you are a "good" guy.  That’s what makes GTA great.  You are a bad guy killing good guys and other bad guys.

I guess you don’t like the Movies and TV shows like this either?  Like Godfather, Goodfelles, Scareface, The Sopranos?

World of Warcraft: Definitely tops my list. I think the MMORPG genre as a whole is damaged, and though WoW is a stronger example than many of its rivals, it still seems deadly derrivative to me--I've yet to try a major MMORPG that didn't feel like an advanced Everquest mod, and WoW is no exception in my book.

The Battlefield series: These aren't terrible games, but I wish so deeply they lived up more to the promise of forcing players into cooperative battlefield situations. In the same way the MMORPGs devolve into bizzare patterns, cooperative battlefield games like this series tend, at their core, to be loosely structured free-for-alls. I have no idea of how to do it, but I wish developers could strip this genre of player motivations to fight their own quests for glory.

The Sims series: Just never found them very fun.
