Chrono Trigger and any Mario game after Paper Mario 2. CT had some cute ideas, but for some reason the game got immensely boring after a while. I think part of the reason was, it was too easy.
The Mario series went downhill for me after Thousand-Year Door. I played through about an hour of SMG and was like "....that's it?!" Same thing basically happened with NSMB as well.
I'm curious as to when people tried some of these games, particularly Chrono Trigger or any other SNES game that they just didn't like. CT definitely didn't age well and if your first attempt at playing it was relatively recent, I understand completely. If you played it when it was newer, then you are crazy.
I have tried to love Koudelka. But the battles just kills it for me. They are SOOOOO slow and just uninteresting.
so this thread is like the ultimate bridge burner isn't it
Can't find it now, but I SWEAR I read somewhere that VI was his favorite. Knowing you, you're probably correct.Quote:

I first played the game in 1997, when I was 8 years old ( a few months before FFVII, as I recall, because I hadn't played VII at the time). It was kinda cool because I was all into DBZ at the time, and Toriyama did the art for the game. But I couldn't get into it. The last RPG I'd played before that was BoF2, I believe. I got sick of CT pretty quickly, though. I can't really explain why. I tried it again a few years later and the same thing happened. I trudged through the game once and that was enough. Although that boss that keeps saying "I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!" and then kills himself was pretty funny, and was worth playing the game up to that point. :jess:Quote:

Like "snails crawling uphill in molasses in January with the wind pushing them back" slow. The only good thing about the game is that it eventually led to the Shadow Hearts series.
Fallout 3 definitely. It made me think WRPGs just weren't for me for a long time.
FFVI and Xenogears were games I wanted to love like so many others do but just ended up liking.
I understand where people are going with DQVI. I'm a huge series fan and it kept the new ideas coming but I just wasn't taken by it and it remains unfinished. I think DQV was just too big of a game and too hard an act to follow.
As a huge shooter fan I've tried to understand Halo in its many iterations but have never wrapped my head around its peculiar design decisions or controller layout. I did like Halo 3 multiplayer initially when it launched and had a couple good games of Reach.
Recently tried AI Wars and despite its ambitious promise, I don't think it's gonna work out...
I have to disagree to this. Chrono Trigger is fine and is still great minus the downgrade on the graphics but that can't be helped. It's not linear, has a amazing and creative plot, nice characters, decent music and different endings. All signs of a good solid and meaty game.Quote:

FFII pretty much was this for most of the gameplay for me.
FFVI is similar in that I was expecting something amazing but never really got drawn into the game. Like Bolivar, I liked it but didn't love it like so many do.
Final fantasy VII, Gears of War and Brawl.
I agree, I first played through the whole thing around 2007 and had a wonderful time the whole way through. I think Bunny might be suggesting that the game won't be earth-shatteringly mindblowing as it was when it was released.Quote:

Bullet Curtain... Scroll... Pitfall.
Skyrim. It's just not good :/
FFVIII: I finished the first disc and still didn't care for it.
God of War: In theory I would like it, but in practice it simply doesn't appeal.
Pokemon Black: WTF? Not a bad game but the absence of my favs just hurts. It just lost its allure.
Also, modern RPGs have made me abhor random battles. I LOATHE THEM. If I can see a monster ahead of time, then sure. Otherwise, GO DIE IN A FIRE.
I am going to have to go with final fantasy 12. I really tried to like that game and I just could not get into that game no matter how hard I tried. I could not understand the combat system it was just to complicated for me. I did not like when you run the enemies keep running after you that was really not fun for me. I traded the game in for something else.
This one is going to be something most people would not bring up Lunar dragon song where is my shot gun atom bomb ak 47 good god that game was terrible. If you run you loose hit points what the heck where they thinking ugh. Sometimes in battle you would be trying to hit the enemy and then the worst thing that could happen your weapons breaks and there is nothing you can do anything about it. That game was just painful. It should not even have the name lunar in the game title. Everyone should stay away from this game you will hate it.
