Baldur's Gate and Onechanbara spring to mind, although I'm sure there are plenty of others. I can't resist a cheap game, and once I've started something I tend to see it through.
Mafia II was bleh but at least it was free via PS+. I also wasted time on Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 2 and FF XIII.
Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 3.
I wasn't as invested in MW2 as I was in Assassin's Creed 3, so AC3 was the bigger disappointment.
I'm usually never negative towards game that I bothered completing, so I can't say I didn't completely dislike any of the games I played last gen. I guess one exception was some crappy on-rails shooter game that I knew would be bad. Sure, I played a number of games that were a bit underwhelming or disappointing to me, but to say I didn't like them to some degree would be exaggerating.
a lot of the games that i didn't like but managed to finish anyway were on the shorter side like heavy rain, trine, and thomas was alone. still, i did make myself endure all of rainbow moon so i could write a review for it on another site. i had to give in to the sleazy "buy your grinding" microtransactions to numb the pain though. i can't really say that it was better than some other games that i couldn't bring myself to finish like GTAIV or star ocean: the last hope.
Lost in Shadow on Wii. It was a good example of "good concept, bad execution" and padded itself out way too much. There was also the Medal of Honor reboot, which was all too easy to see where it got its inspirations from.
I beat Uncharted 2 only because I'm a man who believes in giving second chances so that I don't miss something that I could potentially love with the right mind set. Well there's no mind set that could get me to enjoy this travesty in game design. It's just plain atrocious from every angle I look at it.
Flower is another game I played through, but I won't say it's bad, but rather it has no appeal for me personally. It's not exactly a game as it is a relaxation tool (despite the second last level being the most on edge and stressed a game's ever made me)
Despite loving inFAMOUS 1 and 2, I really hated Festival of Blood. The enemies were lame and annoying, the powers weren't very interesting and cut down from the last game and it lacked the one thing that makes inFAMOUS different from the other open world superhero games: the morality gauge.
I don't have 12 weeks to write all the games I didn't finish last gen
my backlog is sickening

ur the first person I know that didn't like tomb raider and gta 5
GTA 4. I kept expecting it to get better. I figured there was something I was missing with the game scoring so high and all the praise and hype and hell San Andreas was such a landmark game for me. So I put over a 100 hours into GTA 4, though I enjoyed less than 10 of those.
Saints Row the Third. As a huge fan of the whole open world thing, this one was such a let down. I loved SR and SR2. I even came back around for 4. But 3 was such an odd duck. I once read someone say a perfectly pithy remark that encapsulates how I feel about this game. I cannot remember his name, but I can't forget the line. He said: Saints Row 2 was like a perfectly timed fart that we all laughed at. Saints Row The Third is like that same person who farted saying "IF YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY, WATCH THIS" and then shitting their pants.
I don't finish any games that I absolutely hate, but I still finish games if they were interesting at first, but then become a chore. That happens a lot.
