Games that everyone else likes, but you don't

[D4rkShaDoWz]

I actually own GTA and enjoyed it for a while. Then, the game started bugging me. It would freeze and scratch the disk constantly. DISC READ ERROR would pop up constantly during my gameplay. You'd expect perfection from a game that was delayed 7 months right? Not only are there disc issues, there are game choices that are completely pointless. If you die during a mission, why can't you start from the beginning of the mission. Instead, you have to drive ALL THE WAY from where you found the person to talk to. This is why this game aggravates me. I don't understand how critics could ignore glitches like this during their reviews...

So overall, name some games that your friends think are awesome, but you don't find them interesting or at least good enough to own.

Here's my list so far:

• Metal Gear Solid
• Halo 3
• GTA IV
• Resistance
• Fallout 3

Halo! Halo! Halo! Oh, God! Halo! It's so... Its so... Bleughhh, y'know? Average, derivative and over rated.

 

[Electro UK]

GTA Series in general
Gears of War
Half Life 2
BioShock
God of War

 

[Hush]

GTA and Halo. I also can't stand FINAL FANTASY!

 

[Havok83]

Assasins Creed. Most overrated game of 2007

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I'm suprised to see Bioshock mentioned here, it's one of the best games ever IMO.

I really, really, really can't stand the Need for Speed series, they are frickin crap! But for some reason they are always at the top of the charts.

 

[블라스]

GTA Series in general
Gears of War
Half Life 2
BioShock
God of War

Anyway, Halo.

 

[Rukus]

The GTA series.

Don't get me wrong Blas, I LOVE BioShock, but not to the extent everyone else does.

It has a fantastic story, and an incredible atmosphere, fueled by the fascinating imagination of the creators, but it falls short in terms of gameplay. It just doesn't match up to the intensity of something like CoD4, and doesn't function as well as everyone says it does.

I really like it, its just not masterpiece people say it is.

 

[Havok83]

Im with you. I didnt care for Bioshock, quite like everyone else

 

[Soapy]

World of Warcraft
Bioshock
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Halo 2 and to a lesser extent Halo 3
God of War
the "Wii" series of games
Final Fantasy VII
Left 4 Dead

That is almost exactly what I was going to type when I read the title of this thread. Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Just an FYI. Since most people did not have these disc problems, you probably got a defective disc and could have easily returned it for a new one.

Halo
Devil May Cry
Mortal Kombat
Nintendo Wii games that aren't games (Wii Music)

I thought System Shock 2 was alot better.

I liked them before it turned into Gears Of Rainbow.

 

[Addendum]

I've only tried the first one. I lost interest when I had to plan my route

 

[the_joker]

The Resident Evil series - I just hate the gameplay. But I seem to be the only one. And it's kind of weird really because I happen actually quite like the films with Milla Jovovich that everyone else seems to hate.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Grand Theft Auto series
Fable series
World of Warcraft

 

[Mee]

Gears of War
Metal Gear
Final Fantasy
