RPG's with bare bones stories (and games in general), whose sole purpose is to build your characters stats and abilities bore me to no end. There's nothing to compel you to play the game except a desire to build up your character over time, which doesn't interest me by itself. I'm the sort of person who doesn't just want a good story with characters who are interesting and actually have personality, I pretty much need it to make me want to play. It gives me an ultimate goal in terms of increasing my characters stats. For me, the overall story and it's ultimate conclusion is the payoff to building up my characters since I want to see what happens next. I can't stand building a character and exploring for the sole sake of building a character and exploring.

As for other bad games that I do indeed like; I have a soft spot for Mystic Quest since it basically got me into FF back in the day. I also liked playing Silent Scope on the PS2. Yeah, it sucked compared to the arcade version, but I still managed to have fun playing it.
