rpgs u dislike that everyone loves

I remember people getting super excited over Star Ocean 3 and I absolutely hated it. I don't generally enjoy RPG's with real time combat (I think the only ones I've ever stuck with have been Kingdom Hearts, Eternal Sonata and Ni No Kuni) and that's largely from my experience with this, seemed like it was trying to be an action game in combat, and was absolutely useless at it. Awful script too. Got bored after trying it for ten or so hours an never looked back. MudoSkills

Star Ocean 3's combat was a constant bash of the X and O buttons (I keep hearing BLLAAADE OOOF FURY!  in my head because I heard it so many times,it was inprinted on my DNA). At least SO 2 was more intuitive and fun. 

Also the synthezising stuff was boring, time-consuming and it was mostly a waste of money.

The story to me was ok, but it was done before in Final Fantasy Legend 2 for the game boy. 

My biggest problem with the game was on its last hours of gameplay, the difficulty spiked like Goku on a kaioken x30. At one moment you're on level 60 dealing with monsters with little to no problem, and then the game was like: "Oh so you didn't grind the last 8 hours up to level 100? Well, screw you, here's some hard monsters for you!"  

It's not a bad game, it just has a lot of annoying flaws.

Shadow Hearts Covenant- I found the game too anime cliched. Wasnt fond of the combat systemdbz987

While I don't hate it, for the life of me I could never get into Chrono Trigger no matter how hard I tried.  Everyone kept telling me how amazing it was and I just couldn't see it.  I own it and play it from time to time but can never finish.  I don't see the appeal whatsoever, it is an average RPG to me.

IDK if I've played a JRPG that didn't live up to the hype.  

I guess I'll say dragon Quest V.  Not because I didn't like it (I thoroughly enjoyed the game actually) but I don't think the story is quite as great as some people say, and the monster recruiting mechanic was a bit too random for my tastes.  That being said, it's still a great game.

@above I much prefer the more action oriented combat of RPG's like the star ocean series, tales series, etc ...or even some action rpg's like the Y's series. Though, to be fair, there are also ones with turn based combat that are not bad (FF12, Shadow Hearts, and Suikoden come to mind for various reasons)rawsavon

Every single SNES JRPG is mediocre, boring and just to primitive for me to enjoy (with the exception of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound). 5th generation JRPGs are infinitely better, and still better than 98% of JRPGs from later generations.

Earthbound, though I never really gave it much of a chance. Only played it like an hour once.

The game isn't that good until about a quarter in. After that, it becomes a brilliantly fun, unique game till the very end.

FFX. I couldn't get over the voice acting. Nothing else mattered.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="riou7"] FF12 was turn based?riou7

Dragon Age: Origins < Couldn't get into it somehow.

Final Fantasy XII < Found the battle system to be the worst in series and Vaan is a forgetable protagonist.

I love RPGs of all kinds. Like I said, I really enjoyed DQV, just didn't think the story was as great as people said.

I didn´t liked Dragon Quest VIII for the most part,there were some good things about it like the graphical style and general art direction but the story,characters and the somewhat lifeless combat sequences and the terrible song that played during those were things I couldn´t get over with.
In general I also never quite liked games with the ATB mechanic,even though I played through some of them,namely FF7 and 8.

And then there´s Fallout 3,one of my biggest disapointments in the genre like,ever,especially after the amazing first two games. New Vegas was much better but it was still hampered by the terrible Gamebryo engine and sadly because of that it kept many of the terrible things of F3.
