I wanna start by saying that I won't respond to hate mail.

I think a plastic guitar with buttons instead of strings is a travesty.

I never liked Halo.

I loved WC3 and hated WoW

Halo. My friend's stepson is the biggest Halo d-bag you could imagine, it's the only game that he plays. I got him to play Gears one time and he didn't want to after about ten minutes cuz Halo is burned so deep in his brain that he doesn't even try to learn new controls. They should make a cheaper 360 that only runs Halo 3.

the entire legend of zelda series, ive played the games, and never managed to get into them, they may be good, I just didnt like them.

FF12, alot of people liked it, I was disappointed so much I traded it for £15.

Doom 3, its not that bad, I just didnt enjoy it halfas much as I enjoyed Doom 1 when I first played it back in 1994.

Oh So many... I'll start by saying I hate turn based games. I don't have the patience or strategy for that crap So I don't like any of the Final Fantasy games and Legend of Zelda oot just bores me. I own it, I play it, and I can see why some ppl like it. I just don't. I love Red vs Blue but I'm just not a halo fan. others but I cant think of them now.

StarTropics. Not that it didn't have its moments (although very few), I just think most everything about it was lame.

I just don't seem to get into the whole Grand Theft Auto thing. Sandbox gaming isn't it for me. It just tries to do too many things and nothing is realy deeply worked out. Fighting in GTA 4 is not deep enough in its combo's, moves, etc.,driving/racing is adequate but nothing spectacular, etc. etc. Secondly, the city might be a technical achievement, but I don't think it's realistic at all. I mean I live in a village of 24.000 inhabitants and there's more activity going on there at 11:00 o clock on a Monday morning, than there is in this New York rip off. Technical limitations or not, I doesn't convince me. O, and I don't feel the need to be a badass criminal. I just don't... Don't get me wrong, I see the work that has gone in it,but I just don't like it.

And remember: this is just my opinion.

I thought I was the only one who did not like Final Fantasy VII. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time too. Not bashing either game. Neither was my cup of tea though. The original Final Fantasy is still my favorite and I doubt they could make a Zelda game that would ever capture me the way A Link to the Past did.

Grand Theft - I just don't like games that glorify this kind of crude

Guitar Hero/Rock Band - i love video games, but those folks that can do it on hardest setting and thehardest song without missing a button... come on... there has got to be something better for you to do with your time.

95% of wii games... i feel so let down by the big N

Legend of Dragoon, hands down. There are a lot of people who rant and rave about that game and to this day and I can't understand why. Horrible title.

FFVII ranks close though. Thought it was ok until I realized I was really only playing VI again only with a different cast, a less interesting villain, and a lame plot.

Final Fantasy VIII. It was the only JRPG that I didn't bother to finish.

Also at the time it was released, Halo 2.

These two are the only games that come to mind.

You are the first person who said you didn't like the music of Halo. Huh. Sorry for double posting, but I also cannot stand the melodrama of JRPGs (That includes the FF series completely).

Nothing special in Halo, just a generic shooter.

Since this is a topic I brutal honesty it seems; I won't say I hate these games, but I definitely didn't fall in love with them:

  • Assassin's Creed- Got dull after the kills and roof jumping died down
  • Metal Gear Solid- I know if I dedicated enough time I could grow to love them; butI never liked stealth gameplay.
  • Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess. Both bore the heck out of me. Though I did beat Galaxy

Those graphics were state-of-the-art back when the game came out. I'm betting you're so young that you probably didn't start gaming until sometime AFTER the ps1/n64 era.

you guys all hate like.. the same games... you should start a league for me, goldeneye was a biggie... i have epilepsy and that's one of like 2 games that have ever triggeed tremors for me... i think it's cause the screen flashes when you get shot. also, mario 64... don't get me wrong, it's a great game and i love me some mario, but i didn't understand why people were giving it 10 after 10, the camera screwed me over more times than i could count and finally, WoW... i've played it and that's about as far as it goes... i've got friends who perform sexual favors for gold in return and have 5 to 10 characters leveled up to the 60s... i just can't get into it, but maybe it's because i have other responsibilities and can't be tied to my computer all the time... just most of it.

hate is a pretty strong word, i would say i didn't care for these games since they just weren't my taste in games, but that in no way makes them bad games.

Halo series- alright games but they never change and when a game is advertised and hyped to the point where its at 711 that's where i draw the line.

Donkey Kong 64 - a number of games did what this game did, but they did it first and they did it better.

Killer Instinct - just a mediocre fighting game that had bad characters and a lot of combos.

Every EA sports game - these come out annually with barely any changes yet they sell more than almost every other game.

Crysis - Very pretty but not much other than horsepower as far as gameplay goes.
