Little big Planet, God of War 3, Killzone 2, Halo 3, Bayonetta, Demons Souls, Heavy Rain, All Rock Band / Guitar Hero. GTA 4, Uncharted 1, Elder Scrolls 4.

I think that's most of mine.

There are a lot of great gmaes on that list, are you sure you're even giving them a fair try?

LittleBigPlanet - I know I picked up LBP and thought well this is boring, but you have to download other peoples levels and play with your friends, thats how I got into it.

GOW III -  I was instantly in love with, especially since the first level is one of the most epic boss fights of all time.

KillZone 2 - I agree with you here, I just couldn't get myself to like it.

Halo 3 - What!?

Bayonetta - Understandable

Demon's Souls - I guess some people just don't like a challenge.

Heavy Rain - *Slap* Sorry I thought you lost your mind for a second.

RB and GH - Why?

GTA IV - Again, understandable.

Uncharted 1 - *Sprays you with water* Bad kitty

Elder Scrolls Oblivion - Grrr

Oh please, fight or flight...what does that have to do with anything?

The similarities between the 2 are apparent but Resident evil 4 came out 4 years before when these concepts were new and fresh. All I am saying is that REsident Evil 4 is still a better game after they've had 4 years to improve on it. Considering the reviews and reception for RE4 got and that its still listed on a lot of "best of all time" lists... I think most of the critics would agree. RE5 was pretty much forgotten 3 months after its release...appart from the occasional DLC which reminds us it exists.

But it doesn't have Jill Valentine...so I understand why you may like 5 better.

 

 

My point won.

Not really...you just come off as sounding pompus and are changing the topic. Besides, your posts lack any sort of consistency to win a point.

"I hate this, I hate that, this sucks, this is bad...Jill Valentine FTW"



I'll only post games I've actually played:

- GTAIV - the most boring GTA ever, fact.

- Resident Evil 5 - It feels like a rehashed Resident Evil 4 with shinier graphics added and poorer story and plot. Also controls compared to the RE4 Wii version are a letdown.

- Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn - I just don't understand why people love such a boring game honestly.

- Cave Story - I'm still not getting to this day what's to special about it.

- Megaman 10 - Same case as above but even worse.

- Call of Duty - I loved it once, now I hate it. It's the most casual FPS on earth, with annual iterations adding nothing substantially new to make it worth upgrading. CoD feels like PES, FiFa and Need for Speed now.



Oblivion, what a snore-fest...



Bioshock, Killzone 2, and GTA4.

I so wanted to love these games, I even did love Bioshock for a while. Just, all of a sudden, I stopped enjoying it. There was no singular moment or reason, it just didn't click anymore. Too bad, as I loved the world and atmosphere.

I just straight-up hated Killzone 2. Hated the controls (Mouse and Keyboard for life), hated the graphics (too much brown, grey, and black), and hated the story ("Let's take a WW2 game, and turn the Germans into aliens"). Multiplayer was really good, but I'm a single-player guy.

I just was never a fan of the GTA series. They were OK, but nothing special to me. Then Saints Row 2 came out, and I've all but forgotten about GTA.

It's hard to say which game was "boring" cause honestly even me getting pissy at a game like Heavy Rain isn't boring me.

Not many I can think of but Oblivion is one of them, just not into the style of the game, story, characters, setting, it's all like *shrug* "meh" to me.

Not sure if inFamous counts as really "critically acclaimed" more like rubbish hyped by magazines and fans perpetuating it. But yeah that game was like, kill generic guy, kill generic boss, kill generic everything with generic lightning powers that don't even give you a thrill... couple that with pretty bland visuals and you have a boring game, I'm really irritated that game was such a big deal but a game that made you really feel like a super hero like Spider-Man Web of Shadows was over looked :\

If Twilight Princess was nothing but the boss battles I would list that up there too, though that's only half the boss battles, other half can be crazy entertaining even if they were easy.

Bioshock, Dead Space



anything of gears halo or call veriety (after MW ofcorse).
Little Big Planet and anything with carts of any kind



bioshock is really boring



Uncharted 2, 1 was good, but 2 was the same exact game at its core (gameplay), so I was bored the entire way through.

GeoW was kind of boring too, I could only get through it once, and I haven't played GeoW 2 because of that.

GoW 3, but I'm just not a fan of the genre.

Mario Kart Wii, just doesn't compare to the N64 version.

Fable 2, just ugh.
