Shame on you, Lunar. Shame.
The only game I didn't like that I forced myself to finish was FF VII, because I had finished IV, V, VI, VIII, IX and X and I wanted to be able to say that I finished IV - X. :P It's like VII took the worst parts of the 3D and 2D games and mooshed them together into one crappy blob of boredom.
Also, FF XII 4 eva. xP Gameplay > story.
Shame on you, Roto. Shame.
There was a game called Kessen which I got with my PS2 at launch, it was a horrible game but seeing as I only owned that and Tekken Tag I was compelled to finish it. And as soon as I did that I sold it.

This is madness! D:
sorry
Anyway, I can relate with the threadstarter, Psi, on this issue. It's not a bad game, but I had this with Final Fantasy VI. I kept hearing from one friend (and places like here) "ITS THE BEST FF! THE VILLAIN PUTS ALL OTHER FF VILAINS TO SHAME! ITS A MASTERPIECE!!!21!!!1!"
I had played the intro up to the first boss and had to stop, and it didn't really seem all that great. "You Gotta give it a chance!!!" is exactly what I heard. After Figaro I still didn't see what was so great about it. "You gotta get further in it!" Got to the WoR, same bit. I was grinding just before Kefka's tower with everyone and almost everything said "i don't know... it's not THAT great..." and got the "Dude, you gotta play it more..." I'm like, how much further do I actually gotta go? At what point in the Final Dungeon will I finally realize what a great game this is!?
I mentioned the fact that people will bitch at you for not "giving it a chance" but apparently some important words in posts fly over people's heads.
Final Fantasy I almost killed me; there is a random encounter every three steps in that game.
The first Dragon Warrior game is virtually unplayable. The amount of grinding it forces on you is ridiculous and unnecessary to the point where I can't believe the game ever caught on with anyone. I beat it just to say I had, really.
Children of Mana is another terrible game that I beat due to a lack of better DS games at the time. It has what is possibly the worst design I've seen in years. The only thing that kept me going was the satisfactory boss fights.
I actually still haven't beaten that game. I have a tendancy to run from battles and eventually I became too underlevelled to progress and too lazy to level up. I was like Level 12 when I got the class change and I'm pretty sure I'm still under Level 20. I'm at the Wind... Tower... Place thing.

whos' obama?
Castlevania X comes to mind for Snes. I dislike every Castlevania game, so I'm not sure why I even bothered to beat it, but yeah.
Another one would have to be Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, but lately I've been tempted to play through it again, since it's been about 11 or 12 years since I played it.
I actually have several games that I've beaten in spite of just hating them. I'll get killed for some of these, but....
1. Super Mario 64: Camera and the dodgy analog controls ruined this game for me. That and the annoying music. Though I still managed to plug on somehow and get 115 stars of out 120 before beating it. Never picked the game back up since. Actually, I take that back, I owned the DS version hoping to give it another chance, but it's even worse. I didn't even make it through that one.
2. Final Fantasy IV: Would be a great game gameplay-wise if you didn't keep losing the characters that you're training for crappy ones, and then just keep doing that ad nauseum until the end of the game (seriously, losing some cool people for two crappy little mages with no power, magic power, or defense at all that end up getting turned into stone after you wasted so much time to raise them? Stupid.).
The game's story and music are quite good, but the gameplay is so unbalanced, that it's not even worth it for me to beat the game a second time. The Advance version was slightly better, but not by much. I tell you, I was so pissed when I found out how you just switch characters over and over for the whole game and don't have anything to show for it until it's too late.
3. Banjo-Kazooie: I don't know why everyone says this game is so much better than Mario 64. In fact, it controls even worse than that game, and has much worse characters to boot (except Kazooie, she's plain old awesome). I remember being hella excited for this game, well, I got it home, liked it at first, then got to about the swamp part and it went downhill from there. Awful gameplay, music, characters, everything. But I still ended up beating it later on, only missing a couple things (about two years later) because I paid full price for the piece of crap.
4: Lunar SSS: Oh my god, don't get me started on this game. Liked it at first, then got introduced to much better games like Star Ocean 2, and realized just how crappy the game was outside of the characters. Battles plod by so slowly and are devoid of any fun. Luckily I was near the end of the game when I got Star Ocean 2 so I beat Lunar before I started playing that.
5: Final Fantasy XII: Loved it at first, the beginning was interesting, and the gameplay was fun at first too. But then it got devoid of all personality and fun as you had to walk for long stretches and fight really stupid enemies, and you often had to do it for hours and hours at a time with no story progression or anything at all. Blech. I don't think I beat the game, but I did get really close to the end.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.
This boy is crackin' up, this boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up, this boy has broke down
Woah, you had Dracula X? That's pretty rare, but alas, it's one of the worst Castlevania games ever. It's rare for a reason. >_>
Anyway, in order to not veer off-topic, I also forced myself to beat Final Fantasy 2. I honestly don't like it all that much, but I felt I should beat it to unlock the sound test. (It was the Dawn of Souls version of the game.)
mine would have to be soul caliber 3. i hate that game. i hate that game with a passion. but i played and played that game til i beat the story mode all the way through. i have acually gotten so mad i hit my controller and cracked a bone in my right hand. lol yeah i know its a bad thing but i was very upset. still to this day i have that game. i haven't played it in almost two years but i still have it. for some reason i cant bring myself to go sell it at game stop. so anyway back to my point. soul caliber 3 worst game ever!!!!!!!!!!
holy crap i dont even know what games i have anymore lol. i meant soul caliber 2 that entire time. i have never even play 3. sorry guys
Please do not double post. Use the edit button ~hero
I can understand not liking 3, but 2? Why 2? o_O
well for starters i am a big rpg and 1st person shooter fan and i normally dont play fighting games. but this one looked good so i got it. now im not saying that i am freaking fantastic at playing games but i dont suck something horrible but this game just made me mad every fight. it seemed like it would give you near impossible tasks that i would play over and over and over and over. to sum it up that whys i cant stand it.
Ah, I see. So you weren't good at it.
