Games that were well-received that you couldn't get into?

STALKER.

Read so many positive comments about the game but it didn't hook me. Downloaded the complete mod and realistic weapons, didn't finish it.

Not PC, but Red Dead Redemption. The game is just too boring.

AC series too. The story is just moronic.

CS as well. Some parts of it I enjoy, mostly the mods. But the classic gameplay I do not.

far cry 2 and borderlands is all that comes to mind at the moment

At least I'm not the only one.

For me, also the Uncharted games. I'm going to have try that again though.

Also, Metro 2033. I just can't get myself to play I DON'T KNOW WHY.

Other than that... uh. Not too much from me.

Bioshock: I've tried playing it a dozen times but each time I loose interest and quit.

Assassin's Creed series: First of all the combat in these games is really really bad. You just block and block and wait for the right time to strike then kill an enemy with one blow. Fighting a dozen enemies at a time doesn't offer the thrill it should.

The stealth isn't anything special either. It's so shallow. And that can be said about everything in the AC games: it looks like it has a lot to offer but in reality nothing is fleshed out and it becomes boring for me after a few hours.

the sims,

mass effect,

civilisation IV.

Terraria. Its not my type of game. I bought it because at the time, it was one of the most played games on steam.

Mass Effect for me.

The entire Grand Theft Auto series. I have fun for about 20 minutes going on a murder spree, but the missions and multiplayer (GTA:IV) were so boring I wanted to die.

Halo series. Something overly generic and plain about it, couldn't understand why people go so hard on it.

Late CoD series. Not much to say other than they've beaten a dead horse that outsells itself every year somehow.

Diablo II and III. Played them for a little while. Wanted to love them like everyone else did. Got bored after a short time.

Skyrim. I think I spent more time modding this game than playing it. Always felt like there was something missing, couldn't keep me interested. Very impressive game but not enough essence there to keep me into it.

Crysis. Graphically - I get it. Gameplay wise? Meh for me.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm not saying these were poorly produced or were "bad" games, but they just felt "meh" to me. Especially Halo. Flame me

Some of my favorite games of all time are Final Fantasy X, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls (waiting for PC version to start up again). Lately I've been playing Dota2 I find it's more mature than it's counterparts and I like the $ model better as well. I grew up playing SNES, and still love playing Super Mario and Donkey Kong 1-3 from time to time. Waiting for Guild Wars 2, loved the beta weekends and the direction the game is going. I'm also an ex-WoW player of 6 or 7 years - something I'm not proud of but I grew out of it as did most of my friends. Yeah, I've become a bit of a PC / gaming elitist over the years:oops: I'm just picky and particular. I loved Oblivion when it first came out on the 360 (prior to my 3 times red-ring) and I got all of the achievements.

But while I'm here - another well recieved game I remembered is Red Dead Redemption. I wanted to like it so bad, but the more I played it the more it felt like GTA (same engine if I'm not mistaken?) with a western skin. The voice acting, story, and span of the world were impressive and beautiful, but gameplay wise it was boring.

• Civilization IV - ironically, I loved Civ II back in the day. I can see why people love Civ IV, but there was just something about it that kept me from playing (and no, it's not the fact that it's turn-based).
• Commandos 3: Destination Berlin - the only game in the series I actually own, and it didn't exactly make me return to the series either, probably due to it's (IMO) extreme difficulty.

Stalker --> bad graphics, countless bugs and commodore 64 controls and mechanics.

Assassin's creed Brotherhood --> just couldn´t get into it, it seemed ok but never felt it was anything but a DLC for 2.

Diablo 3 -> insanely bad graphics, bad controls and i regret spending money on buying it.

Battlefield 3 -> First mission was so poor that it made me uninstall the game instantly.

Call of duty series -> played one/played them all.

Witcher 2 -> decent game just never got my interest.

Max Payne 3 -> Rockstar tried and failed, badly done and unless your a huuge fan, game is not worth it.

And alot of other games.

Pretty much any recent shooter or MMO.

alot of multiplat games... with their amazing cinematic c movie gameplay... *rolls eyes*
