So what you're basically saying is that you never made it to the alien part (say, 25% of the game).

FFVII: The graphics are awful yet I don't understand why its so popular.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: I really have no clue as to why the series is so popular along with Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Generally, it is about some guy moving to live in an urban area, met a few nice girls who are extra kind to him but after he started sniffing around about the religion of the town and traditional practices, very bad things start to happen. Reminds me of the PS2 game I bought awhile back but have yet to play.. "Run Like Hell".

I talk about it with people I know at my school (mainly 360 owners) and we just all agree that it is not a very good concept for a game


It isn't really a good concept, but it damn sure as hell is fun. It's one of those games where you really have to have friends to enjoy, though.

Halo on the other hand... what the hell. Sure, it had some innovative additions but that doesn't stop it from having possibly the worst level designs ever concieved in the entire FPS genre. The online mode has what, 2 weapons? Not like anything else is useful, apart from the ability to glitch the crap out of the game to give unfair advantages. Halo 3 is even worse and don't even mention Halo Wars. Halo 2 I can't comment on since I haven't played it, but I don't have any real hope for it.

Gran Turismo and Sims just don't hold any interest to me at all.

GTA4/GTA: San Andreas - They just tried to pack way too much into these games and somehow managed to forget how to make it actually fun to play. Vice City is far superior in my opinion.

Oh, and sports games in general tend to be like watching an extremely boring game of the sport in question. Not to mention charging full price for every one they release which has nothing new but corrected team rosters and MAYBE slightly newer graphics.

GTA. I played one of them at a friends house because it was really hyped up and stuff and I thought it was boring.

Jade Empire. Another game of a friend's. I thought it was also boring and was the last time I played a Bioware (and WRPG for now)

War/army-themed shooters. Boring looking. It's like that outside games too but among the few times I don't mind is Metal Slug because it's wacky (and Zombie form is awesome)

Sports games (except for the arcade/mascot style ones)

Guitar Hero. Not my type of music I listen to all the time. Also I don't like the controller much.

I wouldn't say hate but finding extremely average. Completed Persona 4 and did not think much of it, the story seems aimed for teens. Just getting into Persona 3 now and it is even worse, what do people see in these games?

Anyone could post a game here after not playing it or only having it played for 5 minutes. I haven't even finished Crysis yet, but I'm far enough to know what you stated there isn't true.

FF7 is an obvious choice, couldn't stand it
Devil May Cry 1
Kingdom hearts 2 & Chain of Memories (liked the first one though)
Okami (especially Okami, I think it's one of the most painfully below average games I've ever played. PS2 version btw)
Viewtiful Joe
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (I'd make two improvements to the game: let me use D-pad to move Link, never make me touch the Temple of the Ocean King ever again)
Sims (although to be fair, that's a love it or hate it game if you ask me)

The only game that could possibly fit this category for me would be Fallout3. Something just didn't feel right. I mean, I loved Oblivion and I loved Fallout Tactics. But something just didn't seem to click.

Tachi; it was the other way round for me, I fell in love with fallouts 3 world, Oblivion however I found boring, due to the setting I think.

I fell in love with Fallout 3's world and was suspended entirely in disbelief for a moment. Then it froze. If only Bethesda were as good at preventing glitches as they were at making games <_<. Not to mention I'm pretty damn certain that my level 20 character file just disappeared since I know for a fact it wasn't an autosave when I started a second character and when I got to the first save point at the vault entrance on my new character, my original file was gone even though I was on it earlier that day.

Gameplay wise, Okami's only real innovation was the Celestial Brush. Sure, it's a pretty damn fine innovation but really that's all that's new. The fights do get pretty repetitive and some of the minigames can be irritating so I can see why some people dislike it. That doesn't stop it being one of my favourite games ever though, due to the style in which it is presented, the great soundtrack, decent if somewhat cliche story and the fact that Amaterasu and Issun are just plain freakin' awesome. Design wise, it's practically perfect, but in gameplay terms it does make a few crucial mistakes which can put some people off.

TF2 was incredibly meh.
And I never really liked the gameplay of Starcraft, the units felt weak and the gameplay felt slow (yes, I understand that the gameplay in Starcraft is very fast, however it never really felt that way, even compared to games that are actually much slower like Company of Heroes).
And then I hate Age of Empires styled RTS's with humongous tech trees and 17 different types of resources.

Edit: I have to comment that Fallout 3 felt like it was really much worse than it could have been. That being said, it's still an incredibly fun game.

Pleeease don't judge BioWare's games and WRPGs as a whole based on Jade Empire. It is easily the worst game BioWare has ever made and pretty up there on worst WRPG.

On topic though, I'd have to say:

Most games in the Final Fantasy series, especially X
Tales of Symphonia (more dislike than hate, but it is immensely overrated)
inFAMOUS
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Suikoden III, even though I love the series

Probably more, but that's all I can think of.

Well, this IS about "games that you hate". And I'm pretty sure there's way more Halo fans than they are of haters anyways. The haters/fans ratio is probably around the same for every popular (ranked good) game.

I'm gonna add Kingdom hearts, I've only played the first so I can't comment on the others, but from what I played, which was about 7 hours worth, it was really average and got kinda boring for me.

The two main ones for me are :

WoW and Halo.

I've also gotten to dislike the NFS series after Carbon. At this point, its more racing, than it is reckless fun, which was basically the motto of the old school NFS's.

Final Fantasy VII.
Just beat that game yesterday because I wanted to know what all the hype was about.
In my opinion it was utter SHIT. The story was shitty, the characters sucked ass (cept Tifa cause I liked her.), and the only ones who really had anything to do with the story were Cloud, Aeris and Sephiorth. Cloud was depression in human form, Sephiroth is a whiny little momma's boy, Aeris...lol I forgot all about her once she died.

The thing that really made me mad though was the ending. What the fuck was that all about. An ambiguous ending. What a freaking cop out. Best RPG ever my ass. The only thing I enjoyed was the gameplay but it was too easy.

Sorry, I never really "judged" other wrpgs just held off playing them because nothing else looked interesting for console wrpgs at the time and other ones I tried out left a bad taste (I also played Sudeki and Baldur's Gate Deadly Alliance and was unimpressed by it). I didn't want to play on PC so I just ignored them.

Bioware wise, I own Neverwinter Nights but didn't play with it much and what is said to be the best game is Star Wars related and I don't like Star Wars (sorry)

on a side note,
it seems a lot of examples are of current gen. Hmm...
