It's difficult to come up with anything fitting the title. Though people might peg me as cynical about everything, when it comes to games I actually try to find the good parts rather than the bad ones. I can usually find at least something redeemable about games that most people dislike.


I skimmed the thread and still haven't see anything that quite has me disgusted and even though in my blog I go over all of the things about Gears of War that I find underwhelming (mostly due to hype) I don't hate that game and actually have had a ton of fun playing it.


There are games that just don't grab me the same as everyone else though. Dragon Age is probably top among them. I've made several fail attempts to finish it. I really though my last one would follow through too. I'm extremely excited while playing it. I like the very gray-area decisions that have to be made. I love the dialogue, and character interactions. I just always find myself putting it down after a while. I'm not that compelled to continue. I respect the gameplay and sometimes enjoy the tight strategy that is required to win a nearly hopeless situation, but at some point everything feels like a chore. Getting new equipment and sorting through stuff seems like the biggest chore of all. As much as I feel empathy toward the story figure and I'm moved for much of it, it's just not enough to keep me wanting to come back.
