Boring.

What games have you played in your time that have bored you to the point that you actually stop playing the game?

I've only had 2 games that have made me stop from total boredom:

Black (PS2/Xbox):

Mercenaries (PS2/Xbox):

Both games are good examples (especially Black) of what happens when graphics take more focus than gameplay. And both are getting sequels!

Anyway, what games did you guys find that were totally boring that forced you to stop playing completely?

Superman 64. Pure garbage. I stopped playing after 5 minutes. Worst game I have ever played.DrinkDuff

I really wanna play that now. I've heard so many people say how bad it was. I also wanna play Big Rigs, lol. 

Aquaman

Tony Hawks Downhill Jam

Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja

Lost Planet

Killzone

Grand Theft Auto City Stories titles

Are just some of the titles I wish I never wasted my time on.

Mercs?

That game is so much fun if you have a young violent imagination like myself.

For instance, take a helicopter and pick up a car with the magnet, then swing it around and try to throw it at people or other helicopters.

Hours of fun...

:?

I'm easily amused.

:(

You get the urge to play them, but when you actually think to yourself "Do I really want to spend my time and money on this?" you'll probably stop yourself. 

MGS3. Too much dialogue. I just wanted to play but kept getting stopped every 5 minutes. Okami almost made me do that with their 15 minute opening cutscene, but as soons as I started playing things so far have been smooth.

SC DA as well. The worst SC game IMO. Got 5 levels into it and just sent it back to gamefly. 

I was bored to death all through Enchanted Arms, however I did play through it hoping it would get better.

It never, ever did. 

:o Mercenaries!?

I must say, I'm surprised the-very-best. I normally totally agree with your posts, but Mercenaries was probably my favorite game last gen, and I cant wait for the sequel.

anyway, to answer the question, I would have to say MGS: PO. I don't know why, but the game just didn't hold my interest.

Well, my favourite series is GTA so it's not like I don't like violent games. It's just that Mercenaries and its gameplay felt so repetitive. It was kinda linear too which got on my nerves.

It wasn't a disastrous game. I can imagine why people would like it, just not my thing.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

One of the most overated games ever.

Really? Your favourite?

lol, I dunno, just isn't my type of game. It kinda felt like a rip off of GTA in many parts too which put me off. Then again, maybe I should have stuck with the game for a while longer. I had borrowed it from a friend and only played it for a few hours (around 4 I think) before stopping. 

The two that pop into my mind

Knights of the Old Republic - Everyone told me that when I rented it, I would be gone for the next week. Well about 3 hours later I was back, the game already packed up and ready to ship back to Gamefly. The fact that I hate RPG's wasn't why I stopped playing. The beginning of the game was so mind numbingly bad, I couldn't bare to get beyond it.

Brute Force - Don't remember much, but I do remember it being terribly generic and not fun.

Believe it or not though some people DON'T like GTA.

Disgusting I know, it will never make sense to me why a person couldn't enjoy a GTA game.

I have mostly lost interest in oblivion but I still pick it up and play every once in awhile.

Big Rigs is so bad that its good

Superman 64 is pure trash though...

As for my actual response... i need to think about it...

GTA3 is one of them, but i know there is tons more 

MGS3. Too much dialogue. I just wanted to play but kept getting stopped every 5 minutes. Okami almost made me do that with their 15 minute opening cutscene, but as soons as I started playing things so far have been smooth.

SC DA as well. The worst SC game IMO. Got 5 levels into it and just sent it back to gamefly.

FF12, put 70 plus hours into that game and couldn't be bothered finishing it. It's just not Final Fantasy.Hoobinator

same I put 175+ Hours into Final Fantasy XII and it never turely felt like a final fantasy ... just the name slapped on ...

however one thing I liked about it, is how they made the Zodiac Stone Monsters from FFT Espers

Loved seeing them in 3D form 

probably the other game would be, Dark Cloud 2 ... and I thought hack an Slash games were repetitive

Mm every time? That intro is just once.

Also to the above poster yea, gotta admit MGS3 starts a tad slow but after the resque of Sokolov it picked up for me. 

A game called 40 winks on the PS1. Just plain horrid...

Oh and GTA 3 also...

Dark Cloud 2 also, same here. Put a lot of hours into that game as well, got to the final big dungeon, I think, but the dungeons just never ended. A bit more story and less dungeon crawling would have made that game awesome. I liked the weapon customisation, nice characters and cel shaded graphics.

• Halo 2
• Star Wars Empire At War
• Resident Evil: Outbreak
• Medal of Honor: Breakthrough
• Fable

Wow, how can you put 70 or 175+ hours into a game you're bored with? It's like doing a chore when you're playing a game you don't like. Okami is pretty boring. I've put two hours into it, and I still can't find any fun in that game. I think the most boring game I've ever played though was that Mario detective game, "Where's Luigi?" or whatever the name was for the NES.

LOL. What is up with the glitches! That's crazy. I really wanna play it now.

Yeah, it seems you either love/hate the new gameplay in the series.

I really liked FFXII. I was getting sick of the old gameplay and FFX, FFX-2 were very disappointing for me due to how linear they were. The only thing I didn't really like about FFXII were the characters. Unlike previous FFs this one doesn't really focus on character development at all which was a bit annoying.

Overall the game was very fun though. Loving the new gameplay and am glad FFXIII seems to be keeping it (and by the looks of it upgrading it too).

Funny how many of you are claiming it sucks yet expent 70+ hours on it, here's some news, you don't necessarily have to beat it.

But I paid my moneys damn it. :evil: And the name, oh the final fantasy name, I was waiting for a moment of grandiose beauty and was left clinging to shattered dreams. :cry:
