What is a game that you couldn't get into, despite everyone thinking it's the greatest game ever.

You can't have just played the first level or a demo, but actually TRIED to like it.

Mine would be Bioshock.. I don't like it at all.

Also,

What is a new game (not a sequel where you've played previous ones) where you fell into right away?


Mine would be Left 4 Dead.

Fell into Left 4 Dead as well, couldn't get BACK into Dead Rising. I was way into it and beat it when it first came out, then I got it again, and I can't get back into it.

Far Cry 2. It may sound petty but the game just didn't feel very alive to me. The colors were dull, the characters sounded bored... I probably didn't give it a proper chance but of what I played I really didn't dig it.

Actually Dead Rising I loved originally, can't get into it, Mass Effect I couldn't get into originally and just recently beat it and loved it.

I tried to enjoy Lost Planet, I even put a few hours into into it but I just thought it was a crummy game. Prototype sucked me in hook, line and sinker.

Same here. I played it back and 2007 and i thought it was a confusing mess. Put more time and effort into it just a few months ago and I ended up loving it. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

Maybe I should have gotten farther in mass effect, but man I couldnt stand dead rising too little of save places I couldnt get further in the story. But I also couldnt get into fallout 3. I thought the begining was awesome, in the vault. But out in the wastelands it fell apart IMO.

Agreed, one of my most anticipated games of early next year. And with all of the choices from the first, if I get bored with what's coming out this fall (not likely) then I'll go back to it and try to see what other options I can get to come up

Just couldn't get into Fallout 3. The game sucked up too much time and didn't feel like I was getting rewarded for that time spent. I'd spend hours playing and have virtually stood still in character advancement.

I fell into Resident Evil 5. I know it's a sequel but it was the only RE game I've ever played and I just loved it from the start.

I also agree with exactly what you just said. I never played the other 4 and this one was amazing. I just wish they would have made it creepy.

I wasn't really interested in getting Fallout 3 until I saw the Mothership Zeta DLC, but you seem to be on the same page as me and I don't think I'll find it interesting anymore.

I could not get into bioshock, killzone 2, or resistance FOM. I could not even finish killzone or bioshock and resistance was painful to finish. They all seem like good games I just did not like them for reasons unknown to me.

re4 is the best, i love the gothic feel of it, it wasnt all that creepy to me though, maybe some parts. anyway i couldn't get into left 4 dead, it was fun when my friend brought it over, but wasn't very fun when i actually got it. i fell right into bioshock, fallout 3, and soon to be Borderlands =D

Same with me at first. I was just playing it a bit and bit and I went on the internet and learned the story and then I got sucked in and beat it in a day, it was really fun. Also, you should play them in order!

Bioshock, Fable 2 and Mass Effect....Bioshock got repetitive and boring really fast, Fable 2 was a huge disappointment and not even an RPG, and the crappy combat system in Mass Effect overshadowed the story.

Gears of War 2 is fun but I just can't get into the Multiplayer.
It's also frustrating that it's not an FPS.

I cannot get into Halo 3. I tried, I really did, everyone likes the game it seems to be popular but I just couldn't get into it.

A game I fell into, I can get into just about any game from Nintendo really quick, for example Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Bros, etc. But as far as the Xbox I haven't really had any games that I have found addicting yet, though I've not had a chance to play much on some of my new games, so once I get more time with them that might change a little. I thought I would be addicted to Forza 2, but that really hasn't been the case yet. Oddly enough, I got the Bee Movie game and found it to be a lot of fun, a lot more fun than I was ever expecting.

A game I would suggest to you is Kameo. It reminds me of Zelda a bit, you might like it. But there are not enough games like Nintendo makes on Xbox sadly.

Games that you try to get into but cant!

What is a game that you couldn't get into, despite everyone thinking it's the greatest game ever.brandontwb

I have a few and based on the single-player this is what I think:

BioShock - The setting and the story seems really intersting, but the gameplay is boring.

Bionic Commando - This game seems cool, but it got boring after after awhile.

F.E.A.R. - This game on the 360 S.U.C.K.S. but on the PC it is a really great game.

Fable: The Lost Chapters - Too childish and boring.

Fable II - It seems to be better than the first, but still kinda boring.

Far Cry 2 - Just WAY too much driving around. This game could have been soo much better then it is.

Gears of War - I really really like shooters, but this I just can't get into and I really do not know why but I have tried and tried to like it and I don't.

Prototype - This game seems cool, but it got boring after after awhile.

Saints Row - Just a GTA wannbe and it sucks, now GTAIV is a really great game compared to this.

Test Drive Unlimited(online) - This game graphics looks great, but man it is really really boring.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - People said that this is better than the first, but I don't think so atleast not yet from what I have played.

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone suggested the game to me on the forums and I picked it up the other day. So I have the game now and tested it quick to make sure it was working, but haven't got to play for more than 20 minutes or so. It definitely looks like it is going to be my style of game and I'm looking forward to trying it. I would love to see some Nintendo style games, with a Microsoft flair on the 360, that would be awesome. I really like the Xbox so far and it is already my preferred system over the PS3, but I think Nintendo will always come out ahead... I would love my Xbox even more if Microsoft didn't charge for everything and charge so much for what you have to buy.

I couldnt get into Oblivion either (hopefully the talk of a sequel is true and i can get into it) alsoFar Cry because they put cool things into the game but they also took stuff out that made the first one good.

I really got into Left 4 Dead also and Assassins Creed, something about silently killing someone that makes you feel good

Assassin's Creed. I've tried both the 360 and the PC version, but it just bores me.
