Are the 1% of games you like the legendary ones? shovel knight, cave story, castle crashers, etc.

personally, I think just avoiding Steam helps me not see the bad side of indies. Nintendo controls the eshop quite well, so i prefer to just find indies on there. It helped me find Mutant Mudds, which is a very frustrating (but enjoyable) game

Yes very few like Journey, apotheon, Rocket league etc. Really only liked Apotheon due to the setting, as I love Greek stuff. I find most Indies lack in interesting settings.

FF XIII. And it became my favorite mainline FF game. After a few hours I told some friends, and I quote: "It's more boring than church." Sometimes it pays to try. Sometimes though:





You never know.

"Moms are tough!" - Hope's mom from FF XIII intro.

I tried to like many games. Most famous example is Mass Effect. I tried to like it 3 times. I always got bored to death before I even got to space.

X/Y was horribly done. Actually, all the 3DS Pokémon games have gone down in quality since the DS era. (Haven't played Sun/Moon yet because I don't really want to waste my money.)

OT: Monster Hunter comes to mind. I've tried to complete Skyward Sword maybe four times but have failed each time. Mainly due to laziness though, it seems like there's a possibility that I'll like it as a whole in the end.

Uncharted 1+2 and The Last of Us.

Maybe if they were on PC with Mouse/keyboard controls I might have liked them, but the combat was awful with dual analog controls, and I got bored of it and the rest of the gameplay after a short while each time I tried them.

Metroid Prime on Gamecube.

Again an issue of controls.  The trilogy edition on Wii was so much more enjoyable.  ut it probably also didn't help that I was a little kid when I tried Prime for the first time and got really frustrated fighting this one giant plant boss over and over again.  That boss is pretty easy now.

I never played the first one, but rather liked ME2. Did you ever try it? Curious. KOTOR is an easy top 5 all time for me, so the first ME is still on my hit list, in spite of the consensus, objective flaws. Like the elevators.

I tried to like kingdom hearts. The camera and controls were bad, and the level design was spotty. Now KHII is entirely different...

I find some elements of the story too distracting to let me enjoy the actual love story. Essentially, when they essentially brainwash the old man to put new memories into his head, and the game presenting it as a good thing.

Street Fighter, or most arcade style fighting games. Every time I try to get better at them, I just get too focused on learning one combo, and get frustrated at how easy it is to fail. I think the problem is that I'm just terrible at multi-tasking, so trying to remember a combo while in the thick of a fight is extremely hard for me.

Earthbound is a game that I enjoyed...but can't bring myself to finish for some reason. I can see that it does a lot right, and understand why people enjoy it so much, but the combat just feels really clunky for some reason.
