Trails in the Sky would probably be my latest entry. People have praised it, but the combat is easy, the story is uninteresting, and I overall don't find it to be 'great.'

It's not a bad game, the characters are cool, and the dialogue is hilarious, but overall it's just not engaging me. The story is very on and off again. 30 hours in.

I found it the same, It has its moments when its really fun but I remember the first 8 hours or so being a bore, and the story is really on and off.

Red Dead Redemption.


red dead redemption?

 

I dunno... When I first started I was enjoying it but it just got more and more boring until I couldn't play it anymore. Not sure why...



Boderlands.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Ogre Battle 64 and Super Mario Bros. for the NES



-Any Mario game and pretty much any platformer (Jumping up and down over and over again is just nauseating)
-Any Zelda game (They just don't look like fun at all....don't get the obsession with OOT)
-Any Metroid game (just seems like a very lame attempt at FPS)
-GoldenEye on N64 (was boring back then when I tried it....maybe I'll feel differently today)
-Any Halo (never could get into the series on my original xbox and not even on 360)
-Smash Bros (just looks like a mess...)
-Mario Kart (played it, it wasn't "fun")
-Any GTA (always get bored of them after killing people around town a few times)
-All COD games after COD4 (too much emphasis on killstreaks and camping is just bad game design....try camping in kz2, see how well that works out)
-God of War series (seemed like I was just button mashing FTW; couldn't stand the QTEs either)
-Gears of War series (Just looking at the over-machismo makes me want to puke)

That's all that comes to mind right now.

GTA: The game is fun for a couple of hours, then it gets boring and I never play it again.

Mass Effect 2 & 3: I really liked the first game, stopped playing the second one half way through.

Icarus Rising: One of my only purchases that I have regretted buying this generation.



I'm not calling these bad games just games that weren't to my taste despite critical acclaim.

Final Fantasy games (only tried two but didn't like them in general)
3D Mario Games (only tried 64 and sunshine)
Zelda (only tried 1, 2, and ocarina, just not my style)
Bayonetta
Valkyria chronicles
COD MW 3 (2 was ok but 3 was boring)
Batman AA



GTA (All of them)
Gran Turismo and Forza
CoD (from MW2 and up, the previous ones were good)
2D Mario (yeah I'm a Nintendo fan that doesn't like 2D Mario games, sue me)
Final Fantasy that's not on NES or SNES (that includes FFVII)
Uncharted series
Gears of War



Nintendo and PC gamer

Oooh, I might say Gears of War and God of War too.



Half-Life 2
