Ben-DutkaIt happens.
Every once in a while, you come across a game that you know is great, that everyone you know says is great, that wins all sorts of well-deserved awards, and sells like mad. And yet, no matter how hard you try, you just can't get into it.
As most people know by now, that game for me is Fallout 4 . Well, it's the latest top-tier title I just can't stand; it has happened to me before. I can't deal with any of the Mass Effect games, for instance, primarily because I'm not a sci-fi fan and if I want a role-playing game, I tend to go for swords 'n staffs as opposed to plasma guns and whatnot. RTS and fighting is mostly out as well, but I should add that I've always loved turn-based strategy ( Heroes of Might & Magic is one of my all-time favorite franchises) and I really did put a lot of time into certain fighting titles, like Soul Calibur and DoA2: Hardcore . So, it's hardly across the board with those genres.
Of course, I tend to like a lot of the very popular IPs, like Grand Theft Auto , Assassin's Creed and Uncharted . It's really just a matter of what resonates with me and what doesn't. So, which top-quality game or series have you never managed to like? It's one of those titles where you recognize it's a great product but something about it – or maybe several things about it – just keep turning you off. It's a game that you kinda wish you'd love, just so you could stop explaining to everyone why you don't like it…
Uncharted Series. I hate that overrated series so badly. So very very badly.
RPG's, how millions enjoy that stuff like world of warcraft I will never know, I spent a couple weeks on FFXIV and i liked it for a while but then just couldn't tolerate it, literally the majority of the people make you think they all live in their mothers basements and have never touched the opposite sex, within the first few days I understood every stereotype and why they existed towards the people that play these game and was embarrassed i wasted 20 bucks on it
manage to play past the intro yet?
Skyrim, It was just horribly boring for me. I really wanted to like it, slogged through the intro area twice. Just couldn't get into it. Damn shame too considering all the mods, and hype behind it.
Well I love a large selection of different types of games from rpgs to shooters. I dont think I hate any game specifically. Even the franchises that are being milked atm are still solid titles.
I still enjoyed mgs5 as a game in its own right, but as a mgs game I aggree with all your points. As a huge mgs fan its dissapointing, but as a game its a solid title.
Final Fantasy Tactics. Objectively I could see that it was a quality title but it just didn't do it for me.
Wad de ye think of that Ben? 😛

Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain….waits for the record of the most thumbs down on this site.
I think you made it up. 😉
MGS5. This is saddening for me because I love MGS 1-4, with 3 being my all time favourite.
I was just completely let down by MGS5, something feels off about it, I got to chapter 20 and just couldn't play anymore.
It feels like Kojima maybe worked on 1/4 of the game MAYBE. Its world feels lifeless compared to Witcher 3 and FAllout, and it became very repetitive.
I enjoyed the online portion for a while but I lost interest after a while, MGO from MGS4 kept me invested until they got rid of the servers.
I want to love MGS5 but the story just feels terribly rushed, and I think they should have actually made the game smaller and more focused. The open world is fine if there is focus. Also there was no interior sneaking really, nothing like in MGS3 which had all sorts of varied types of infiltration environments.
And the bosses were are terrible in MGS5. Anyway I want to love this game, and I know it is a quality game, no bugs, controls like a dream but I just can't play it, it bores me to death and that makes me super sad.
There are so many I can't even count.
I hate them only because I don't have time to play them 😀
GTA V: The characters: Trevor was just too over the top, not believable as a character. The other two were cliched.
Metal Gear Solid Anything. I can't stand it because no matter what anyone says about what gets you noticed by the baddies they can still see you and alert through every set piece. So I never get anywhere without lots and lots of superdeaths.
I almost went Super Sayian when I had to get far enough to review it.
Minecraft for me. I like terraria quite a bit, but just can't stand Minecraft.
I think games without any real sense of progress in general don't do it for me. Street fighter, and most FPS are also included.
