Post them here. It's okay, we won't hate you. Unless you talk smack about Silent Hill 2. In which case I will murder you and destroy the body.

I've got one: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

It's so boring. Two hours in and I'm still in the village, still with a wooden sword, still doing stupid little errands for ungrateful peasants. I fail to see why everyone thinks this is so amazing, but seriously; it's dull. I'm not playing it any more to see if it gets any better because honestly, it feels like a slog just trying to get through the strawberry floating prologue.

The opposite of the thread topic; I really liked the start of Twilight Princess :shifty: Hell I don't know, maybe it was the soothing music.

Have to admit, Uncharted has always seemed kind of average to me on the gameplay front. Of course it's a technical marvel, but that over-the-shoulder gunplay is really dull to me and the platforming's not really all that involved. But that is only going by what I've had a go at, I wouldn't mind a proper chance to sit down with the second one.

All the CoD games
Witcher 2
All the GTA games
Halo - Shmalo
Portal 2 *yawn*
Etc.

That's enough to irritate the usual suspects.

I don't see how anyone can dislike Portal.

Not sure how many times I've said how gooseberry fool the Uncharted series is but you can +1 to the tally now.

I'm tempted to say Zelda as well - I played a few hours of A Link to the Past, obtained the speed boots, and then...well, I couldn't really be arsed.

Uncharted - A technical marvel but the execution left me a little cold
Twilight Princess - One of the worst Zelda's. Not a bad game but not a great game either
Halo - It's been the same game for 10 years now
Resistance - Do not understand why this franchise is still going

To be honest, this might be the first case I've ever seen of someone not liking Portal :P

Gears of War. Not my thing at all which is saying something as I liked Uncharted alot.

When "crap" is strong word for Team Fortress 2 because it's hardly crap at all, I just don't seem enjoy it much as other online games. Would rather to play CS: Source, Perfect Dark and even classic Quake III Arena/Team Arena (or rather, Open Arena) instead.

Super Mario 64.

I've tried playing it numerous times but never got into it.

Well not Halo for a start because it pretty much wakkapwns all other FPS games.

Erm, none really. I tend to be good with most games.
