Assassin's Creed

Ico

Ocarina of Time (or any Zelda game after Link to the past)

Killzone 2

Crysis

Metroid Prime

Burnout Paradise is the only one that really sticks out to me. I'm dissappointed with the big, critically acclaimed games all the time, but only because they just weren't AS good as I expected. I always end up enjoying them at least a little.

Burnout Paradise is the only game with such high ratings that I ever thought was just flat out bad.

Pretty much every non-PC exclusive game since 2004 + WoW, Counter Strike and Halo.

BioShock (Finished) - Basically, it got a lot of things right, except for gameplay.

Oblivion (Finished) - As an action-adventure, it's good fun, but as an RPG it's awful

Gears of War (Finished) - It's decent, but it's just all meh.

Metal Gear Solid 2 (Finished) Please, don't get me started.

Portal (Finished) - Short. Innovative, but very boring.

Burnout Paradise - Didn't finish, but that's because I was so unimpressed by it I decided to not waste my time.

Planescape Torment - By today's standards it's very dated, and while the story seemed like something really special, I couldn't bare to continue.

Baldur's Gate 2 - I just wasn't having fun.

Final Fantasy VIII (up to the end of disk 3)

Tekken (any)

Gran Turismo 4

Kirby (any one)

BioShock, GTA4, Burnout Paradise, Fallout 3, Fable

HL2.

I usually givebad games 10 hours to win me over but I completed HL2 anyway because it wasn't that long.

Aww man this thread is awesome.
- MGS4
- Fallout 3

That's about it.

MGS 3 Still hated the camera/controls

Assassin's Creed BORING.

Ico BORING.

Ocarina of Time (or any Zelda game after Link to the past) BORING.

Killzone 2 Hated the controls and the FOV is too small.

Far Cry 2 Broken gameplay

Crysis The best looking dull game I have ever seen. Loved Warhead though.

Mass Effect

Think I never played a game for 1 hour then quit... Never to touch it again.

Assasin's Creed (biggest disappointment this gen)

Starcraft (just not my type of game)

Soul Calbur(button masher)

Halo CE( tried it didnt like it that much)

MGS

Oblivion

Fallout 3

Most sports/racers/fighting games

I'm kind of forcing myself to play GTA IV too

Oblivion - I really tried to like this game, I really did.
Fable 2 - very glitchy, dumbed down, overhyped game
Assassins Creed - more of tech demo than actual game
Grand Theft Auto 4 - the cars handled horribly, bad framerate, everything felt sluggish and unresponsive
Conker Live and Reloaded - not as funny as it thinks it is, felt unpolished
Dead Rising - Save system and time based missions killed it for me
Mass Effect - horrible framerate, not enough to do outside main quest
Far Cry 2 - to far to drive, no variety in the missions
Splinter Cell Double Agent - felt very last gen, bad story

probably some more just can't think of them right now.

MGS 1,2 and 4 - all terrible IMO specially 2 and 4's MP is a joke.

Gears 1, 2 - Dont see why lemmings bend over backwards for these game really :?

SF4, RE5.

Fallout 3 - Reskined oblivion with guns and crap story.

MGS2

Zelda Windwaker

GTA4

For some reason I didn't play any of those games for more then a week.

MGS2 I beat in like 3 days, which was pretty pathetic IMO. I don't care abotu the dog tags either, so that game was just dead in the water to begin with.

Zelda was ok, but too cartoony.

GTA4 was cool at first, but it feels liek every other GTA game and I got bored of them after San Andraes.

Lost Oddysey. That game was not just boring, it plain out s*cked. I guess it is understandable since I had finished playing FFXII a few days before.
