Fine, It's overly thought over as being "Scary"
Everyone is on the band-wagon of thinking it's a great game because YouTubers overreact like little girls
The game just feels to un-finished, the ending for example, although I've been told "It's up to you, to decide." What is the point in deciding?

It lacks anything I like from a game, there is no story but a simple your in some caged off area, looking for notes for whatever stupid reason, whilst their is a psychopath trying to find you and kill you.

Why is it Slender? He is by far one of the least creepiest "Creepy-Pastas" Smiley Guy would have been much more appropriate.

I am easily scarable so of course the game scares me but yea. Don't be afraid to post your opinions here man.

Not so afraid of posting my opinions, more afraid of the Slender-Fan-boys.

Most Military FPS' are bad, ARMA 2 was one of which, the only reason people like it now is because of another bandwagon, Don't get me wrong DayZ is fun to watch and play but it's annoying with everyone jumping onto it.

Oh and Minecraft, it was good up until the Xbox Version came out, then all the little kids came along and screwed it over.

No offense, but I don't think that's a good reason to say, "Welp, now this game sucks"

Anyway, Ocarina of Time.
Just didn't interest me nearly as much as Wind Waker.

Oh but I think it is, you see, once something get's bandwagoned it eventually will bore you to death, it's just how it goes, then people will move onto a different bandwagon.

I love when people complain about CoD because they don't play it and feel better than everyone for that reason. People here are honestly saying they don't like it because it's mainstream. I don't like MW3 because the maps are shitty, guns are unbalanced and one-sided, and support makes everything bad. Get your heads out of your asses.

As for me:
1. Majora's Mask
2. Mass Effect
3. Madden
4. Super Mario Galaxy (I liked it kinda, but it just didn't hit me the right way)
5. Pokemon (I can't get into it. I understand why people like it, and why it's good, but I just don't have the attention span.)

I noticed you left out 2, so I'm assuming you've played the series and you're not just bitching like everyone else. But come on 3 wasn't that bad, in fact it's all good except for the ending.

Actually, I also didn't enjoy Super Mario 3D Land. Like, at all. I quite around World 3 or 4...then my 3DS got stolen, so that was that.

I'm not gonna be the "NO NO KEEP PLAYING IT" guy, but I feel I'm obligated to point out that the game is pretty much solely the critical success that it was based on worlds 9-16.


OT: I don't really like hipster threads, but I guess I really didn't enjoy Kingdom Hearts all that much. It was fun, but the combat is extremely tedious.


Also, the environments are ugly.

Wait wait wait...it has more than 8 worlds?

Did you read that Cracked article on why Bowser, though he appears as effective as Team Rocket, actually completely owns Mario? Mostly it revolved around him being able to kidnap Peach without even trying. I'd say that having to send Mario a postcard after every world in order to convince him to save Peach is...compelling evidence.

Yes I did just complain about a Mario game's story.

Kingdom Hearts. Most of this is based on playing 352/7 Days, and watching a KH1, Birth by Sleep, and Re:CoM LP, but the gameplay's boring, the story's vapid, the characters are boring, the character designs are either plain or feel overused, like Nomura just recycled Cloud and Sephiroth 2-3 times each for some characters. The in-game music wasn't thunderous for me either.

Yes, once you beat the first 8, there are 8 more, and from what I hear they're incredible.

I wouldn't really know, since I only just beat the first 8.



@Izaya, did you actually play every game on your list?



Edit:

Mario Kart 64 is overrated as hell. Diddy Kong Racing is superior in every way.

Any Zelda, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, or any other popular RPG-like game: I'm not saying these are bad, but RPG games just don't seem fun to me. *shot at least 30 times* With an exception of Pokemon of course.

Modern Warfare 3: I love CoD, as it's probably one of my favorite franchises at the moment, but this one kind of left me feeling a bit empty. Sure they innovated a bit on Spec Ops, but the campaign was just as bad as that of Black Ops, which I frankly didn't think was possible, and the multiplayer also doesn't compare to the others, however it still has that addictive element that can't get you to stop playing.

AC Revelations: This one felt really rushed compared to the others. Assassin's Creed 2 was one of my favorite games to date. Brotherhood was still good, but I'm not sure what was up with this one. The tower defense s**t was stupid, and so was the whole bomb idea. Those things never helped me once. The sudden plot twist near the end where some guy that was completely irrelevant earlier in the story, but turned out to be the antagonist wasn't good either.

Counter Strike: Don't get me wrong, I like CS, but I don't think it deserves the popularity it has. Sure it has mods that can be fun, but the single game mode it has where you have to eliminate the enemy team or plant the bomb is slow and boring. Plus I hate having to wait to respawn, I like to constantly be mowing down people in multiplayer shooters. Global Offensive at least added a few more modes.
