My kid brother would play this crap nonstop for hours while I was raiding in EQ... and he'd reset after beating the first level. The music drives me insane. Fuck General Garland.

Seconding the fact that Elder Scrolls combat is atrocious.
I started with Skyrim and I loved it, but it was because of the many awesome aspects including the vastness and freedom involved. I am seriously stunned though that they have such a BEAUTIFUL fucking product and it's even fun, yet they maintain such a terrible fucking inventory and combat system. It's one of those things that makes you want to charge into the studio and smack some fucking people.

Sometimes not having shit streamlined is what makes the design work, look at Deus Ex for example, the aiming system is stupid, you have to sit in one place for ages to hit anything, but that makes you consider if it's worth it. If you could shoot just like in any other shooter, the gameplay would suffer.
Fallout 3 - After playing NV first on PC, I couldn't believe how empty and bland FO3 was in comparrison.

Bacon -- I love the Gears of War franchise and have actively played since 2006. I agree that the story has been kind of a rehash of a few mashed together Sci-Fi plots, but the multiplayer aspect only fell off recently. In Gears 3 they brought us TDM and totally killed the game. Everyone seems to like the call of duty type respawns, but I hate it. It was fine the way it was. Now, if I'm lucky there will be 200 people playing the game type that I love (Warzone) and thousands playing TDM. It's like thanks Epic!!!Bacon_sl said:

FFXIII
I played a lot of FF growing up but everything after 7 just got...weird. (including the end of 7)
Anyways, FFXIII I put several forced hours into. I literally grimaced my way through this game until I just gave up on it. Couldn't stand it anymore. On top of that I have no fucking idea what the plot is or whats going on or how my characters are even affecting anything. Or WHY I'm doing anything in the first place.
So. Whatever. It's a game I want to play and finish but everytime I turn on my ps3 I immediately say fuck it and don't.
Edit-
I just read the FFXIII wiki plot synopsis. Still no idea wtf is going on.

but im not one to argue about it lol
Felt the same way about FA:NV as well. I enjoyed the hell out of fallout 3 and thought I would love this one. Just couldn't get into it.
Two corrupt game saves in 5 hours killed FO:NV for me. Just glad I got it on sale.
The very worst thing about AA were the Batarang Boss Fights. It had killer atmosphere and most everything else, but good god. Batstuns every bossfight was the worst.
Assassin's Creed. No particular reason other than it was boring.
Fallout 3. It was buggy and I crashed a lot on a really nice system. The "freeze time while I select parts of your body to shoot" thing was dumb. The kicker was that at some point in Megaton the mayor died and I looted some keys from him. One was for the armory. Of course I'm going to check out the armory. The problem is once you go inside some droid that can fuck your day up pretty much instantly starts attacking you. And you can't run, because it can follow you outside into the town. So I could never go back to Megaton without getting owned by this thing. This was about the point when I thought the game was shit. Concept was cool though and I know it's a good game, just too many frustrating things for me.

Just so you know Tuco that must have been aprt of the early game Tutorial because it doesn't tell you when or where you can jump or any of that stuff after the first little area. Once you get to the Find Jim Gordon part is when the tutorial is over and the game is pretty freeform after that. You should give it a go again if that was your only complaint, it was a good game and I don't even normally like fighting games.
Did you misread the thread? "Good" games, that you hate. I don't think anyone hasevercalled or considered FFXIII to be a good game. I'm pretty sure it's just about universally considered the worst Final Fantasy entry.
FFXIII-2, on the other hand, is a very good game.

Except you don't lose...Shadow traps the new "god" between the very 3 statues that give him his power...allowing you all to miraculously escape virtually unharmed to later take all the time you need to mount an assault on his tower of trash where unless you're horribly under-leveled or didn't get much of anything, you basically rape his face. Still a great game, just thought it lost the plot a little bit AFTER the great plot twist of the world actually getting torn up quite a bit.
As for games I "hate"...FFVIII. IX was okay and I actually enjoyed X but VIII was a failure in my book.
