Forums - Gaming - 1st party games by your company of choice that you dislike

Another thread presenting me with a golden opportunity to express my dislike of Majora's Mask? Thanks, curl.

Unfortunately, in the OP you expressed a dislike for Wind Waker, so I am forced to rescind my (uncrystallized) gratitude and blow raspberries instead.

Around the Network

The PS2/GC generation, as a whole, to me, was a time where I just kind of fell out of gaming. I didn't STOP playing games, but I didn't buy myself a new console until late into the gen, and just grew kind of disinterested with the direction gaming was going in general. Arcades were fading out, something that had been huge to me since the 80s. PC games were starting to become more like console games, or were just becoming straight up ports of console games. Games were becoming more about being a "cinematic experience" over a gameplay experience (something that has sadly carried on and evolved), etc.

My "company of choice", if I have to have one, is Nintendo. I grew up with the NES, and Super Mario Bros. is the game that made my really love gaming. But I certainly haven't loved EVERY game they've ever put out, and that was driven home even moreso on the GC. I think the GC was a good system, overall. But it was similar to Dreamcast in the respect that Nintendo seemed to experiment with a lot of odd ideas, "fixing what ain't broke", so to speak, and I just didn't care for some of the results. Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Double Dash, and especially Star Fox Assault, I simply didn't care for (the last one actually being more like: "fucking hated").

And in general, there are just games/series that I have never really gotten into, like: Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Mother/Earthbound, Brain Training, Professor Layton, most of the Wii ____ games (though I did like the first Sports, and the some of the games on the two Wii Plays), Animal Crossing, etc.

For example, I'm a Nintendo fan, but I dislike Smash Bros, Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, and Mario Sunshine.

Same here only that I like Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker.



Animal crossing

I can't get into Luigi's Mansion.



Back when SEGA were console makers............... Alex Kidd.

These days i play more on Microsofts consoles overall, so i'll go with Fable on that one.

This is almost exactly how I feel.

The 6th gen was gaming's low point in my book, at least out of the gens I've lived through. (4th to present)



Sony:
Killzone
LBP

MS:
Gears of War
Fable

Nintendo:
Pokemon
Metroid



As a Nintendo fan, I could never get into Star Fox or F-Zero
