OK, I want to know the games that you would never play because of your hidden prejudices. I'm not necessarily talking just bad games, no one wants to play a crap game but games you wouldn't play for other reasons. Let the hatred show. :evil:

Mine would be Kingdom Hearts series, kiddy crap and makes me feel uneasy, even though action RPG'esque games are actually really quite fun and it has high production values.

Project Gotham Racing 3/4, bumper car racing with 8 year olds on Xbox Live, no thanks. Though the graphics and racing are really enjoyable, love the sense of speed.

  • Spiderman 3 for the Wii- The developers just said, "Screw you, you're going to buy this game regardless of how much effort I put into it."
  • Guitar Hero 3- I will never play this game if I'm not forced to. I avoided playing it at a club meetingbecause I have no desire to be a rockstar, and I just find the game really freakin boring.

Partygames, but then again, beer solves anything if the opportunity is there.

Most racing games are also just boring to me.

Fifa and PES games have to be number 1 on my list though.

American sportsgames a close second.

Wii-Fit I don't understand who is buying this. Is it even a game? I can't imagine anyone plays this for more than 30 minutes before it starts collecting dust.

Here is a funny parody of Wii-fit if you need a laugh today:

Any Madden game. (Heh, I'm black, go figure.)
FFVII, I just don't like it for some reason I guess the steam/cyber punkiness bothers me. I like FFVII and FFIX though.
Again, go figure...

Guitar Hero...I just didn't find it interesting. In the back of my head, I was thinking "I have a guitar at home...maybe I should focus on that instead." Then I saw the South Park episode and died laughing when Randy couldn't figure out why the boys wouldn't spend the time to learn a real instrument...

Although I may try it one day, it would be very hard for me to try MGS4. Not just because I was bored out of my mind by MGS2, but because I am sick of everyone going crazy over every 14 minute movie released. Maybe it is because I don't know the backstory, but I can't get through 2 minutes of those videos without closing them.

I don't think I will be playing Fallout 3, unless it's absolutely nothing like Oblivion.

I'm a hardcore CRPG player, but Bethesda are really dumbing down the genre.

I tried playing Oblivion again today, but it always ends in frustration over the things that cannot be accomplished because Bethesda decided to dilute the game world in order to make it larger.

Any of those MMOs that claim to be free to play but have Micro paymest for important items, horrible servers, racist GMs, and poorly translated language. (Most of them don't even have US serers that are in the US!)

The MGS series. I rented MGS3 after watching 30 minutes of Cinemas and people talking, I took another 15 crawling through the jungle just to get past the first two guys. After playing for 45 minutes I still had not done anything. I tunred it off and took it back.

final fantasy .. unless there's a radical change in gameplay

mediocre FPSs .. killzone fits into that category right now

american sports games

any movie adaptation done by the likes of EA .. their aim isn't to make a good game, but to get as much as money as possible with the least amount of effort usually

Nuck81
51 is actually is First name since his name is Goichi Suda and Go means 5 and Ichi means 1 so he didn't really change his name it is just the name he was born with people just call him Suda 51 since in Japan your last name is said first and your first name is said after your Sir Name.

World of Warcraft.

A good friend of mine just got suckered into starting it, and it's been like watching a loved one slowly succumb to a hideous drug addiciton. I barely even know him anymore. Okay, maybe it's not that dramatic, but all the same, I'll pass.

Fear sequels/add-ons/expansions etc. NFS games. Most jRPGs and anime related games. And most importantly, movie based games that release at the same time with the movie.

Oh, and MMORPGs.
