Video Games That Were Popular but You Did Not Like


Guest

Recommended Posts

CoD: I can't stand the series in general, the fanboys even less they are very rude and immature. I also feel like the game is very predictable, and far too easy I played the first one and only died like 3 times on Veteran. Also I believe it's quite unoriginal, your taking historical events and putting fake historical characters in them, now I could deal with this if every character wasn't ugly and boring. I gave the first 3 the world at war series, but could never get into it and quit half way through the third one. My friend convinced me to play the Modern Warfare convincing me they were much better than the first ones, I quit those to after the first couple of levels, and Black Ops totally killed it for me, and the fanboys that came with it were worse than when it first started. This could just be my biased opinion as a Halo fan though.
Ghost Recon: Don't get me wrong the games were pretty good, but the last one was way to popular the multiplayer was a rip-off of CoD.
Skyrim: To much to do, way to many fanboys, and all the shouting gives me a headache.

I probably should be more specific on why I don't like the Call of Duty series:

It started when my older brother occasionally comes over and brings his MW2 to play over my house online. He has a blast with it. Being curious, I tried the game out myself, just to see how it was like. I hated it. The campaign mode felt very lackluster, as though the creators didn't even try to make an engaging story because they know that people play for the online (and I don't play X-Box Live, so I ruled that out). When you die, it really doesn't feel like a shock, as it greets you with a patriotic quote in death. Does this mean that if you die serving for your country, it is treated positively? Also, I didn't like how the weapons controlled, especially when compared to the more smoother aiming from FPS games like 007 Nightfire and Timesplitters 2 (it could be the fact that those 2 games are my favorite FPSs, but I liked how they controlled). It felt too stiff for me to aim with and I usually resorted to knifing. While it is somewhat fun to play with another person, the single player experience was a complete letdown in every imaginable way (The local multiplayer didn't even have AI for you to kill, which is one of the things I look forward to with shooters with a respectable multiplayer mode).

Case in point, MW2 ruined the entire series for me because of a bland single-player and too much of an emphasis on the online multiplayer while not enough of an emphasis on the single-multiplayer. Also, since I don't like fish, I hate cod.

Firstly, yes, that is treated very positively in most places, and secondly, half the quotes are cynical anti-war quotes.


The game is still vastly overrated though.

-Marvel vs Capcom 3
I fudging hate that games roster.

-Any Pokemon after Platinum.
They just completely lost their charm from the Gameboy days.

-Wind Waker
I hated the art style and pretty much everything else. :V

-Soul Caliber 5
The game was a good game, but completely changing every character we know and love to some twerpy kid wasen't the best thing to do.

Mario Kart 64 is overrated as hell. Diddy Kong Racing is superior in every way.
[/quote]

Agreed, I have played MK64 and I don't get what all the hype is about. Diddy Kong Racing only lacked one thing... girls. Pipsy the only girl was annoying as hell. lol

-Final Fantasy 7
See Mario Kart 64, I played it and it was alright, but I don't see why how it's considerd the "OMGJNKJSBNKJ BEST RPG EVUR!" it was rather boring honestly... even if I only played up untill the crossdress scene.

[b]Pokemon is probably one of the most subjective series out there. I personally thought B/W were far better than D/P. [/b]

Agreed, I've heard many more differing opinions on Pokemon than anything else I can think of.

For instance, personally I think that B/W are the best games, even better than R/B/G. Sure, Gen I was great, and there's plenty of nostalgia, but I think Gen V was awesome for its characters are story (not gonna get into game mechanics). And as for Pokemon design, I think every gen has had its ups and downs, with all of them being equivalently cool and unique.

DUDE. Those are the exact two shooters I grew up with! I frickin' LOVE Timesplitters. And Nightfire had awesome gadgets, like the grappling hook, that laser sniper thing and the suitcase turret.

P.S. To that one guy, "gay" is not an appropriate criticism. I don't dislike games 'cause they're "gay". That's like saying your fridge is heterosexual and you're proud of it.

Ever seen a game garner critical acclaim or popularity and you completely disagreed? Post that list of yours here.
Mine:


2. God of War III
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
4. Left 4 Dead 2
15. World of Warcraft
16. Red Dead Redemption
17. Grand Theft Auto IV

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

1. Majora's Mask
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.)[/quote]

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.

CoD. I only own one. And that's all I need really.

I only play while listening to podcasts. Zombie mode is fun with friends. And "ZOMBIE GEORGE A. REMARO WITH A LAMP" is fun as hell... It's just bland gameplay.

I still stand by my assertion that Diddy Kong Racing>Mario Kart 64, as good as the latter may be, but you will find that a thread with this title will just wind up as, "List every popular game ever like a bunch of freaking hipsters."

I liked it at first, but then it got tiresome.


Especially when my 2012 compter has a hard time with loading a server because the people in it can't stop spamming lines of text, or they can't stop spawning 80 people at once.

Oh, I actually liked it myself, but you can't say it was "popular." It defeats the purpose of this thread. For example, while Sonic 06 does have fans, posting that you didn't like it here would be redundant.

It had one plus: good music.

I also hated the Pokemon Gold and SIlver remakes and Black and White.
[/quote]

True, Black and White weren't very good. I think Game Freak and Nintendo have nothing to make a Pokemon of any more.
Heartgold and Soulsilver weren't [i]bad[/i], I enjoyed them a bit. It's a bit easier to get them than the original versions, and some parts were improved too.

Again, Pokemon is one of the more subjective things, making it perfect for this thread. I actually liked B/W far better than D/P or even R/S.


And so I don't waste this post, I'm going to try to rack my brain for something I didn't like. There are few games I can't find something good in.

Ummmm....

Super Mario Bros. Wii. It's a great game I suppose, I just can't get into it. Too hectic.
