FFXIII - I just can't get past how bad the dialogue and characters are. No exaggeration, half of the conversations consist of sighs, grunts, and nods.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma - It wasn't bad, but fuck me was it hard. The difficulty just took all the fun out of it for me, because any joy I had quickly turned into frustration.

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec - I won something where I got to pick one free game from a list. I had never been into racing sims but it was the biggest named game on the list and all of my friends convinced me I should get it over anything else. Played for about 10 minutes and decided from then on I wasn't going to take advice from my friends on games anymore.

Most Wii Third Party titles, but that was my fault anyway.
A game I just remembered the other day I detested:

Not only the level design felt like if it was made by a 4 year old, the art was worse than the SNES game, the gameplay was boring and the music was one of the worst soundtracks I've ever heard.

IMO, worst Nintendo game ever.

Fallout 3. Game-breakingly bad bugs. Awful music. Story developments that didn't make any bloody sense. Oh, and its big thing was a combat system where you selectively stop the action dead to program your aim-bot.

SaGa Frontier tried to play it for about 10 hours the combat system sucked so did the graphics and everything else huge letdown from Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 7 which are the two Square games I bought and played before this disaster.

I played it when it came out with false hope that there would be less random battles. I thought I had read somewhere in a review that FF10 would have a lot less random battles then the standard at the time.

I still have it and might try it again considering the direction final fantasy is going in now :/ Good to hear the battles become more interesting later on, cause in the beginning it feels like a complete waste of time.

The last word when it comes to grind fests is 'The Matrix Online'... seriously, by level 10 (of 50) or so you need to complete a bazillion of the quests available to you in order to level up. The most experience I got was for unlocking a new region (it was actually the group of people I was with who did it) and that was 80,000 but you only got that once and I needed something like 5,000,000 experience to get to level 14 or so :|. Standard missions at that level granted about 3-5,000 or so experience including all of the fighting involved, simply insane I tell you. And you couldn't realisticly group up with higher level people and go into more difficult regions because you would just be swarmed by Agent Smith's if you were too low leveled!

demon's souls (PS3)......that game got me losing my mind over how difficult the game was!!

To be fair, the game was outsourced to Artoon (remember Blinx the Timesweeper? Those guys.).

But yes, Yoshi's Island DS is my biggest disappointment of the generation. I really don't want to talk about it anymore.

This could have been my first choice also but the Genesis had a lot of bad PC ports and a lot of bad arcade ports also.

This thread should be limited to games people paid full price for. Because that's when it really hurts.

I rarely pay full price for games and I'm generally happy with the ones I choose. But Rage is disappointing.
