Good games you just don't like

[Roto13]

What games can you acknowledge are most likely good games, but just aren't for you.

See, if you don't like Halo or Zelda or Final Fantasy VIII/IX/X, there's an incredibly strong possibility that it's more due to your own personal tastes than the idea that everyone in the world is wrong but you.

The first person to use the word "overrated" gets banned. I will hack into this forum and ban you myself.

For me the biggest examples are probably the Gran Turismo games. I guess I just don't like realistic racing games. After that, I guess it would be Castlevania and Metroid. There's something about side scrolling adventure games like those that drives me up the wall. I prefer Castlevania to Metroid, because at least I like the music and ambiance of Castlevania.

Metal Gear Solid - i just couldn't get into it at all, and i tryed many times. I think it was Syphon Filter that made me play it.

Tomb Raider - I hated that game.

Resident Evil - Read above. This was actually worse than Tomb Raider, but this type of genre is too predictable & unoriginal for me, so it wasn't a big surprise.

EVERY GAME EVER IS OVERRATED SO MUCH.

Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Metroid aren't my bag, baby. I just don't know what it is about them. I mean, I liked A Link To The Past, but who didn't? I just couldn't get into the later ones. Metal Gear Solid never stood a chance, I've watched it being played and it just did not interest me. Same with Gran Turismo, but that is more due to my not liking racing games. Metroid was okay on NES but anything else was kind of a bore.

I'm told Final Fantasy VII is good but I think everyone is lying to me. It is one collective "GOTCHA!" joke that someone is going to reveal to me on my deathbed.

I also think this about Halo.

Man, you guys are mean.

Most good FPS games for me, Halo, Half-Life, GoldenEye 007 etc. I just can't get excited about them. And I don't think the Mario games are as great as their reputation would have you believe. Frankly, I think they're overrated.

EDIT: I didn't think of Metal Gear Solid. Add that to my list.

[Madame Adequate]

Mario games, Castlevania games, the Zeldas, and Half-Life.

[Polaris]

Metal Gear Solid... I mean it's not good for me it can be perfect for everyone else but I just don't get what that game has of so special!

[Captain Maxx Power]

Very much GTA and Metal Gear Solid's. I didn't enjoy either for various reasons, but I'm assured that the general populace do.

[Larahl]

The Fallout series.
I really wanted to enjoy it, but I just couldn't.

[ljkkjlcm9]

definitely GTA, something I've never liked and just found stupid. After that.... I'm not sure.

THE JACKEL

[Breine]

GTA and Gran Turismo have never ever been able to catch my attention, and probably never will.

[Jowy]

Final Fantasy III DS. I just hated every little thing about that game!

[KentaRawr!]

Don't we already have this thread?

Edit: Anyway, the game I recognize as good, but really don't like is Myspace Halo. Never could get into it.

[Yuriev's ghost]

Completely different premise to this thread. That thread is about genuinely bad games. This one is about good games you don't like/couldn't get into.

On that list, I would put Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, Baldure's Gate, Super Mario RPG, Banjo-Kazooie and Chrono Trigger.

[Raebus]

Final fantasy 7, I tried to play it but I just grew bored.

[Madame Adequate]

The Fallout series.
I really wanted to enjoy it, but I just couldn't.

So... the rumors were true. You do exist.
