Games everyone else loved but you thought were shit

I think I'll add golf games after Mario Golf on the Gameboy and one on the master system I used to love. They're shit. Even Wii golf.
 
Yeah, but are you saying that cos they're bad games (as in badly written, bad to play, inconsistent) or because you don't like golf? I don't like the Mario 2d platformers, but that doesn't stop me appreciating that they're really well written, designed and playable - it's like me and the Beatles, I don't like them but can see why others do and accept that they made some decent music...
 
any 3d platformer suck balls. mario and sonic both went lame the second they went 3d. I want 2d platfromers goddanm it.

Metroid prime. far to fiddly and hard.

agree with tomb raider other then the first one which was enjoyable as the puzzles werent too bad and everything was easy enough to find.

the sims. I mean really whats the point. oh and sim city & sim world etc. They were shit.

Theme park/hopsital/zoo/railway and whatever other toss was released.

Every civilization game other then the first two. Too quick!

Rock band/guitar hero. Just fuck off.

I quite like the idea of golf games as I loved them so much as a kid, they just don't seem as fun anymore.

Besides, this thread isn't about rationality (obviously :p) and whilst I'm not totally enamoured with Halo, I can see that it is a very good title for others.

Hmm, not sure I agree. Sim City was fucking great, as were the Caesar games... and Railway Tycoon.

They're doing GH3 with the guitar for £30 at HMV... I'm tempted, but haven't played it before.
 
Tiger Woods on Wii is a great game.
The TW games in general are really good, it's just that golf on the console doesn't work. I don't want to play 18 holes against the AI only to lose at the last fucking hole and miss out on improving my stats. Probably be better if they did away with the whole stat improvement thing in general.

don't bother; these games are not fun. It's really soporific (unlike games where you fulfill your adolescent blow shit up fantasies :D)
 
Zack and Wiki on the Wii - thought I'd love it but found it boring and annoying

Mario Kart on the Wii and DS -the GBA version where you could collect coins etc.. to get a higher score was addictive but the DS/Wii version doesn't seems to have this and I find it all rather tedious

I didn't get on with playing Final Fantasy or GTA myself but can see that they are excellent games (Mr. QofG's was/is obsessed with both)
 
old game: street fighter
HIROOOOKEN :hmm:

I got most of the GTA yes it was same game but better graphic better cars & weapons each time. But doesn't hold game play.

world of warcraft & EVE away to much effort

Farcry 2 - Dull
 
Civilization 3. People always gush about the civilisation games, and I loved the first 2, but this one just left me feeling violated. So fricking hard!
 
The entire final fantasy series, the chocobo racing was about the most interesting thing about it and the fighting system was a fucking joke, turn based console fighting ffs lol. With pointlessly over the top FMVs all the frigging time to try and make it look halfway interesting.
Civilisation, no clue which it was other than I tried two, jesus fucking christ so horrendously boring.
Every theme 'some boring shit' game. Fail to see whats so great about building a poorly animated hospital/whatever.
 
GTA... all of them. Shit, shit, shit. I tried, I really did, but never once did I enjoy them. They felt so try hard.

I'm a little tempted to say Halo.. but I do really enjoy it. I just think people go OTT about it.

Everything is shit except Half Life and the Half Life 2 games. :p
 
2D Mario platformers. Sure, iconic, classic, Miyamoto = genius etc but frustrating to actually play IMO, and too much promoted by nostalgic geeks.

(I liked the 3D ones, and also Mario Karts I like, because it doesn't just kill you for missing a pixel.)
