Most popular game that you didn't like?

What's the most popular game that you didn't like?

For me, I'm going to have to go with Mario Galaxy.

The storyless breeze of Nintendo games just doesn't do it for me anymore, and Mario Galaxy didn't really have anything new to stand on.

Sure it had crazy camera angles and stuff, but nothing Ratchet and Clank didn't do before. Sure you could collect star pieces by waving your hand around, and you had to click on blue dots to pull Mario around, but it wasn't really all that exciting.

The level design was impressive during some moments, but compared to the other two 3D mario games it was painfully linear.

I got through most levels with full health and the number of lives I went into the level with without batting an eye - including the last boss.

In the end it just felt like the same ol' Mario with the same ol' Mario difficulty that I've already mastered years ago. I understand why it was popular, but I just didn't like it very much. Maybe if it came BEFORE Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and the Ratchet and Clank games I'd be more excited about it.

Single PLayer was outstanding though

GTA IV, boring poo with bad checkpoint system

I guess MGS4. Lame story, convoluted and drawn out ending, and the gameplay wasn't evolved enough. Not nearly as good as MGS3.

I can understand how some love it and I won't call it a bad game. I'd say it's a AAA 9.0-style game that I didn't like at all. 10 was far too high, though.

This is basically a "bash games you don't like that everyone else likes" thread...

Eternal Darkness(Gamecube)

that game was soooo boring!

i dont see how it got AAA

call of duty series, and I liked gta but a 10 was to high

Nope, but I'm glad you enjoy making things up. And I've already shown pics that I own MGS4. So please stick to the topic, friend. :)

Bioshock.RotaryRX7

Assassin's Creed.

Any MGS game after Solid and before MGS4.

Shadow of the Collossus, Ico

Any Tales game

[QUOTE="RotaryRX7"]Bioshock.jessesalinas

GTAIV for boring me out of my skull.

SMG for basically all the OP's reasons. Mainly the linear levels. That just killed me.

Bioshock.RotaryRX7

did you complete that game? i bought bioshock in like may 2008, played it for 5 minutes and didnt like it, so recently i thought of playing it and i completed it like 2 days ago. it was actually a good game :D getsa lot more interesting after Neptune Bounty level

half life 2. i loved the physics, but the shooting didn't feel like what i expected.

Burnout Paradise

Shadow of the Collossus

heretrix

Didn't think that was possible.

Mine would have to be GTA IV and Assassins Creed

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"]Gears of War and Crackdown...I though both were very poor games. yes I own and have played both....TheElfChild

PS3 exclusive: Uncharted

So many people liked that game, but I hated it.

360 exclusive: Left 4 Dead

Bought it the other day, hated it.

CoD4 as the second poster said. I agree with all his arguments COD4 takes 0 skill online and cant hold a candle to a true CoD experience like 2 or even 3.

Gears 1 & 2 both horrible game IMO especially to....once I beat it I swore never to touch a gears game again because it was so atrocious.

No more heroes. Bad motorcycle controls, somewhat repetitive and manditory boring side quests. And it advertised to be a sandbox game but it doesn't feel like it at all. I was very disapointed.

LBP, Resistance 2, Uncharted(almost every ps3 exclusive but MGS,Kz2 and infamous), Dead Rising, All those lame rare games (PDZ, Kameo, Nuts and bolts wtf rare) and braid.

Mother of god, anyone who doesn't like slaying huge collosi or dragons(monster hunter) has issues

its gotta be KZ2 for me. visuals aside, i find that title to be really mediocre.

definetly, Halo 3 Mario Galaxy and Little big Planet, I wasnt a huge fan of any of these games. (although I did really like the concept of LBP.)

True Gamers dont dislike any game. Therefore, none.

Halo, i just didnt find the attraction of it. Im not a big sci fi fan though anyway.

True Gamers are wannabe's, Real people have opinions and dislike thinks out of personal preference

Killzone 2 and I'm sure System Wars know why I don't like itToriko42

I don't know why, but ehhh I wasn't the biggest fan I never finished it
