What games with horrible stories did you play due to the gameplay?

OT:

Um, many people hate the Resident Evil (pre 4) gameplay.

I dunno, I guess it took some getting use to but I loved the story/atmosphere. :)

Actually I have to agree about this.

It's not that I hated the gameplay (not great, "just" good), but the story was the main thing that kept me playing it.

Without the awesome cutscenes, I probably wouldn't have completed it.

Recently, off the top of my head, I guess Persona 3 and 4. Sorry, but some of the battles are just plain cheap (in 3 especially, with no direct control of your party members, some can become tedious) and you can get so far in an area and just die from a single encounter after training for like an hour because of weaknesses and the fact that if the main character dies, it's game over (uggghhh).

But man, I know the games have a lot of heart and I love them to death!

None. I'm not masochistic enough to keep playing a game I can't stand just to see how the story turns out.
