Game You Hate That Everyone Else Loves

[MasterGrazzt]

Well, we have the opposite... So why not? No flaming just because someone doesn't like your over-exposed franchise, okay? :bleh:

Probably the number one game I can't stand that almost EVERY game playing human or robot or intelligent cow on the planet loves is StarCraft. I can't stand having to click my fingers off just so everyone else doesn't gang up on me before I've mined one crystal, and I can't stand how Blizzard just mines other sci-fi creations like Warhammer 40,000 and Starship Troopers and everyone hails them as geniuses. You say "I think the Terrans were inspired by the marines from Starship Troopers," to a bunch of StarCraft fans, and they want your blood.

The rabid fanbase probably makes me hate it more than I normally would, (anime is a similar case) but without them, I would still not be able to stand the "action strategy" of StarCraft, it's annoying, pop gameplay. The units aren't that special.

ARRRGH. When will this "classic" GO AWAY?

[Lizard]

Hah.Quite good idea for a topic :evil:
Personally I hate all multiplayer RPGs.Dont know why.I tried many of them,but they just cant interest me.The one I played at longest was Ultima Online(5 days) but then I uninstalled it in disgust,totally bored. :sick:

i think it's a bit overrated too, but the reason it's so popular is that blizzard are experts at balancing multiple races (even more so in WC3) while making them distinct and fun. they also make top-notch singleplayer storylines (even if the missions get a bit samey and the last missions fall into the C&C trap of just giving the enemy all the technology and a huge lead).

[Sebatianos]

There are a few...
I'm not really sure why, but I always hated Duke Nukem - I got phisicaly sick playing that game (I generaly dislike FPS, although some - like Bridge Commander I played and quite enjoyed). It's just a matter of taste really.

[Stroggy]

World of Warcraft. A lot of people I know are playing it. Personally I think its a waste of money on a game that isn't all that pretty.

As for any other games... Everquest, I guess.

[Dreadlord]

Halo 2, I don't get it, every time I look at this game I see "bland" written all over it, I can't find the special charm that makes it appealling to so many people, I play something like Half Life 2, and expect with this game's hype and ratings that it would be just as immersive and fun. It wasn't the world was hardly as interactive as many other shooters, the creators thought that pushing around chairs and dropping marines off platforms was enough.

Blah, I hate it.

[Yamcha]

Half Life 2 and Counter Strike :sick:

Savage.this game was bad in my opinion

[DeathDude]

Probably Halo 2 the game got so much hype up to it's release, it really just started to annoy me really bad.

[Lizard]

Diablo 2 has a very good system,but become very boring after few days of gameplay. :tomato: When time to next level is aproximetly two days I need another motivation than level-up.In most RPGs I found it in story or sub-quests,but this was missing in Diablo.And killing Baal twenty times,too see if he dont drop at least something usable this time is just boring... :yawn:
However I like mods for Diablo 2 (Zy-El for example)...

[littleguybrush]

I have a feeling this isn't going to over too well but...

Final Fantasy. All of them. Especially 7+. The first six (actually I've never played II or III) had their moments. In fact I thought six was a lot of fun. But #7 killed it for me. That thing was an overlong, boring, poorly translated piece of hogwash. The cut scenes were cool though.

Just so I don't seem like one of those crazy Square-bashers, let me add that I liked Chrono Trigger a lot.

[DeathDude]

I think in regards to Final Fantasy 7 it does seem to be hated quite a bit, reason the amount of fan boys that praise the game for being the greatest Final Fantasy of them all, when in fact for pretty much a lot of them, that was their first Final Fantasy they probably played, not saying it is for everyone, but for some.

I've played Final Fantasy 7 I thought it was an above average game, definitely ranks on my all time great games that I've played near the top for sure, but I can understand why it receive all the hate.

[FreeFreddy]

Well, for me this are the most today's FPS & War games, like Counterstrike, Battlefield and all the followings, Metal Gear Solid etc. etc. I simply can't stand this chewn out idea and stories of war and bad terrorists and all. Although I liked the earlier FPS's, like Quake, Hexen 2, Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and more. Back then they were more groundbreaking for their time and interesting than now...

Really? Then in order to find a game that EVERYone else loves, I change my answer to Metroid Prime. I know that everyone tells me how brilliant it is, but I found it to be really lifeless. Maybe the idea is that the player is alone on an alien world and supposed to be lost and confused, but I didn't care for it much at all.

[xcom freak]

just rememberd the paranoid game u know the bar that has to hit the ball to clear out the squares i hate that game it just :ranting: and :pissed:

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Starcraft was bad. But I also hate civilisation and colonisation. I also hate Diablo, both of them. There are others but I can't think right now.

[FreeFreddy]

Well, Diablo II for itself as playing alone is boring, certainly. But playing it in Battle-Net is pretty much a different experience. And there it is where the big fun of the game is in.

[Morbid_Pathologist]

ive got many that i just hate...

World Of Warcraft - its a joke, your paying about $90 (australian) for it, then another $15 (or even more) just to play the stupid thing, and it feels like the biggest everquest/runescape rip-off.

actually...anything by blizzard i just hate, warcraft - boring, diablo - boring, their just a crap company in my opinion, if only good ones like Westwood and Interplay were still around =(

But if theres one game that i hate even more than world of gaycraft, its Command And Conquer : Generals...this game, its completely disgraced the command and conquer series, i mean...3D!, what the hell!, rule number 1, a strategy game must NOT be made in a 3d engine, its as simple as that, they all turn out slow, boring, and look terrible.

[Lizard]

I liked C & C Generals,but I think I should post it to "Favorite Game That Everyone Else Hates" :whistle:
The World of Warcraft looked interesting but when I heard you must pay about
$90 :blink: :roflol: :sick:

[Gormash]

I never really got that whole CounterStrike deal.
It's a bunch of people running around like fearless Ramob's, shooting at each other. Nah, I prefer Ghost Recon where you at least has a level og realism. CS is just dull, boring and for some reason it makes me think of nuns... o_O

Pah! What about Total Annihilation, Warzone 2100, Sacrifice, Battlezone (oh what a game that was! - is it abandoned yet?) Black & White and a few others? They all rocked and are 3D. I happen to like WC3, and I'd play WoW all the time if it weren't for the ongoing costs (bah! humbug) and Diablo 2 is indeed dull once you've finished it once in SP (similarly for its mods) but much more fun on battle.net.

I always hated counter-strike too, but I've been playing CS:Source and i actually do like it, although it can be incredibly frustrating when you keep unloading a hole clip into someone only to have them kill you with an incredibly unlikely headshot, from 10 miles away with a teeny pistol.

[troop18546]

I dont agree that Halo2 is crap. I've played it and its pretty good to me. But THAT HL2 and COUNTERSTRIKE S.H.I.T. have to go... I hate'em! :ranting: :sick: :rifle:
Sorry for flaming if that counts... :whistle:

[xoopx]

original HALO

as for counter-strike, it USED to be fun, many years ago when it was in beta.
once stupid halfwitted VALVE got hold of it, it stank, and constantly got worse as the n00bs and hackers got their way

[Doc Adrian]

I can't stand really any of the online world games myself either.

You just kind of grind and grind to master your skills, and then they really usually don't have anything to do after that. I hear the news ones have or will change that, but in the old days everyone could pretty much make the same thing so crafting was useless, and I got sick of killing helpless woodland creatures for food and hides all day.

I guess it was too much like a regular job..except for the killing part of course :whistle:

[Sino]

Halo
Halo 2
Halo's sequals

All this I do (and will) hate. Just the hype surrounding it kills me on the inside. And Bungie made such nice games before so (Marathon series, Myth series, Oni, Pathways into Darkness.)......

[BeefontheBone]

halo's ok, but massively overrated. like harry potter.

[MasterGrazzt]

Please Beef, don't defend anything. This is a venting thread. If someone said "Planescape: Torment is the worst, it's so wordy" I would just ignore that post.

And hey, what don't YOU like? I gotta know.

[LordHogFred]

Personally I think that the original Half-Life is the most overrated game EVER. I just don't see what's so special about it. Deus Ex was so much better :ranting:

Yeah! Sacrifice! Rocks yes so much! Very much so...

[Fawfulhasfury]

Monkey Island 2. The sims. Beneath a Steel Sky.

[Dreadlord]

Ooh, one I really despised was GTA Vice City...
It was a freakin complete rehash of GTA III, add a few features, release it, pow, morons buy it.

[Eagle of Fire]

Adventure games, all of them. Especially those adventure games you need to think 3 hours before finnaly finding the answer which was keeping you from advancing the storyline.

I like to read stories and I love good stories in games. But having to walk back and forth in the whole game only to find out that you forgot or missed a critical object only because you were sick of clicking everywhere to be sure you did not miss something is really not my kind of fun.

I feel kinda the same way, except only for the first person ones like Myst, that game freakin' bored me out of my skull, you'd expect them to make some puzzles that are actually entertaining to solve.

[xoopx]

i also despise myst

[DeathDude]

Just remembered another game, Gran Turismo, so much hype about that series, when I played it I wasn't that impressed, how is it that if I'm going like 160 miles per hour and I run into someone, the car just essentially remains like a rock, right...

[dragonLancer]

I realy hate Grand Theft Auto 1- Whatever. (there is no freakin point to the game and im sure for some strange reason all americans want to be the most wanted person in the world.......... right......) man i cant stand that game and all my friends and family members love it :ranting: {i hope the person who makes that game dies a million deaths} LOL :guns:





---------------Dragonlancer

[Yobor]

Holy Crap!!!!!!!
Sacrifice is a great game I can't believe other people play it too!


Anyway, my most hated game is Halo, 1 and 2.
I personally think X-box is a lame and simplified computer. Why buy it when you could just play its games on your computer a couple of months later???

[dragonLancer]

no offense i mean i know its your opinion but....... HOW COULD YOU.... I LOVE HALO 1-2 THEY ARE AWSOME NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HOW COULD YOU HATE HALO :pissed: *breath*


..........ok i feal better now :D

Well I've never played Halo 2, so for all I know, it could be the greatest game of all time. As for the original, the reason could be that about 2/3of the way through the game Bungie decides to rehash the exact same map over and over again, until you lower the dificulty level just so you can finish the darned thing quickly.

Multiplayer's fun though.

[Ajax]

I'd have to put my vote down against Myst as well. Way slow and boring. For some reason I always disliked Doom too. Everyone else seemed to eat it up when it first came out, but it's no good in my eyes. :not_ok:

[BeefontheBone]

Originally posted by xoopx@Mar 6 2005, 01:41 AM

ah, but so do most people who actually like games, so I'm afraid Myst doesn't qualify for this thread.

Re: sacrifice, I should dig that out again - never actually got that far with it, after i bought it on PC Gamer's reccomendation.

Yeah Sacrife rock!!! :Brain: :Brain:
Why cant you believe other people playing it.Btw try multiplayer sometimes... :whistle:

To stay on topic:I like some adventure games(like simon the sorceror,dune,monkey island etc...) but hate them in general... :ranting:

[Fawfulhasfury]

Yes, I also deeply despise the GTA series. All of it.

[Tulac]

I don't despise the first one, it was original at that time, you had the freedom to ride all over the town,entertained me for quite some time...
The second one was boring,entertained me for 20 seconds...
Then came the third one it was cool because it was 3D, and entertained me for an hour...
Then came out copy's, VC and SA, whose innovative features entertained for about 20 minutes...

Easily (in my opinion). It's just not fun to me and the story is pretty cliched and dull. It's a tad sad when the best thing you can gather from what the fanboys say is that "OMG MULTIPLAYER RULEZ", to me multiplayer should come second. People would then go on to whine that you can only do single player once through and only get feeling out of it, and to that I'd answer "Only if it isn't a well put together single player".

Deus Ex and both System Shocks easily destroy Halo.

[Anovich]

Syberia. It got really great reviews but I thought it was kindda, well boring. Same conflict at every train station, very few interesting characters and a no-fun main character.

[Bernie]

Deus Ex - This game has to be the biggest pile of cr*p ever to have been released. It has nervewreckingly lame game play. The combat system is so lame, that it cannot be described, And the AI is simply just stupid. The storyline, well atleast the very little bit that I painfully played through was horrible. And what is so special about all the abilities you have in the game, their all ripped off from elsewhere anyway.

And yet, I keep meeting people praising this game as simply brilliant. Am I the only one to see the rubbishness in it?

Diablo II and almost all other Hack and slash games - I mean, I don't know what anyone sees in these games. The gameplay is as simple as, click mouse button, wait for monsters to die and run away if to little health. There is absolutely no skill requirement to these games.
And now, all of the MMOG's are in this genre, like WoW and others.

[Partizanka]

I really dislike many games many people seem to love


The Sims series
My own life is much more exciting then these games. Maybe other people just live boring lives?

Halo series
Very average First Person Shooters. Not really that bad, until you start counting all the crazy people who say its the greatest game in the world.

Homeworld series
Pretty to look at, but very simple and easy to beat, with not alot of tactical choices. Although some mods that change the gameplay make it much more fun.

Grand Theft Auto series
The first ones were kind of boring, but I guess fun(If you like running over people)
The 3rd one and its expansion were just horribly boring to me. I prefer some level of realism in games like this. The game physics , bad story and repetitive nature of the game made me hate it.

Most of the Final Fantasy series
The first few were fine as dungeon crawler types, but after VI there is very little redeeming quality left in the series to me.

Most of the Command and Conquer series
The games are essentially exactly the same as time goes on. So very little innovation over so long, especially when the gameplay is so simple, is a bad thing. And Generals was just plain horrible.

Doom 3
Boring, easy, not scary.

Half Life 2
Other then my eternal hatred against Steam, Half Life 2 is okay as a first person shooter. All the people saying its so great make me dislike it strongly though.

Morrowind
Shallow NPCs, shallow quests, shallow game world in general. Severely limited character interaction, almost non existant dialogue, weak combat system. Some of the mods and the last expansion fix some aspects, but they don't fix enough for me to like it.

Neverwinter Nights
Very boring, VERY ugly (How do you make something so ugly with modern graphics? I still play Wasteland and think it looks fine!) the singleplayer is very bad, being almost entirely hack and slash. Thats a problem with alot of D20 games I've found. Just wish this game had more depth, but it didn't. Some of the user created mods are very good, but looking at the game for too long hurt my eyes.

System Shock 1
I played System Shock 2 before System Shock 1. Everything good about it is better in System Shock 2. Since System Shock 2 is so much better, I just could never make myself like System Shock 1 very much, which is odd, because I love System Shock 2 so much.

Xcom Apocalypse
Maybe I'm just afraid of change? To me, the best Xcom game is the first one. Apocalypse just kind of annoyed me with all these little bugs and problems.

Arcanum
I love the boys at Troika, I love indepth Role playing games, I love the steampunk setting. What I don't love is a half finished buggy and imbalanced combat system and so many dungeons that require its use. Please forgive me Troika! I'm sorry!

Wow, this is a really negative first post.

Let me bring it up some by saying I love Sacrafice too! Surprised to see so many people here like it, I thought most people didn't.

Day of Defeat is about as realistic as Call of Duty. That is to say, not at all.

Maybe its more realistic then the original Half Life, but to call it "Very realistic" would be untrue. If you want a realistic shooter for the Second Great War, try Red Orchestra or Brothers in Arms.

I always think Diablo II is not as simply as most people thought. Sure, point and click is easy, but would you prefer navigating 10 menus just to hit your enemy? The simply interface is what made the game good.

Planning your charater also require thinking, especially with patch 1.10. I have seen many people play their charaters until level 70s, only to restart when they find out that their charater is not strong enough to take on hell difficulty.

Infact around lvl 70 diablo just stop motivate me.Why should I play it again with just stronger monster and nothing new?To play it two days to get a level.To get super-unique item which chance to drop is 1 : 1000000000000?
And now, when I have finally beaten Diablo on Hell, I have no reason to play it again...
It would be just :yawn: :yawn:

if your using steam then steam is the problem (sven co-op is a VERY good HL mod :))
Yeah I know, but I'm not sure how to get around it, since I quite like steam otherwise and my HL version would be too old without it. I don't understand why they haven't fixed this bug yet - it doesn't happen to HL2 or any Source MODs. Grrr.

back on-topic, I also found FF massively overrated. every time I played them I got partway through (about the 3rd disc of most) and then couldn't be bothered any more.

There are far better RPGs out there anyway. I'm sick of hearing everyone toot Final Fantasy/Square-Enix's horn since Final Fantasy hasn't been good since VI and it's far from the best console RPG series.

[DeathDude]

Guess we'll have to wait and see in regards to Final Fantasy XII, I'm having big hopes for that game, if it doesn't do well, I feel it could really hurt the franchise. Although XI I think was able to strength it a touch.

I agree from what I've seen thus far, it's looking up to be a great game, I'm sure it will deliver. :ok:

[Maikel]

games other people loved and I hate hmmmm....

I thought Neverwinter nights to be dissapointing after all the stories I've heard. But I don't actually hate it.

I hate the Need for speed underground series, and it seems to be a hit. Ugly Honda's and Nissan's trashed full of neon and shiny rims. You can't even trash the cars :S. Just not my style I suppose.

oh yeah. I join the ''sacrifice rocks comite'' . That game just rocks!

Halo series and Duke Nukem 3D.

Overhyped and not worth the cash imho.

Woo.. First post..
Anyway.
Halo 1/2.
It's multiplayer is decent enough. But I feel it is WAY WAY WAY WAY overrated.

Oh well, I shall say in a non flaming way that I dont like CounterStrike and HalfLife. They suck... :whistle:

I hate all car racing games except burnout 1-3 and any others where you can actually damage your car more than a few dents if your gonna crash you should be at least able to flip a few times and wreck everything

Halo is actually pretty crappy bud. Sorry to burst your bubble. :blow:

[Ioncannon]

I cannot understand why halo is so much loved.... The graphics suck., there is no new features... (I would say vehicles but Renegade had better stuff then this.) That and it was on the worst system ever. I don't see why people hate duke3d so much. Was pretty funny and fun game. Ahh and DOD non beta series... I miss DoD beta... 1.3b was the one I started with.. you could run around, scoped, and still be accurate! I remeber having good times on dod_hill. 3.1b was also a good one, OVerlord and the para_ maps ROCKED!!! Overlord actully made you feel like you were on theb beaches of Normandy. The new one dod_charlie sucks. You can run across the beach in like 3 seconds...

[Jim6]

Yeah, Halo - I mean 1.) Energy Weapons are incredibly unsatisfying and feel like they have no effect and 2.) You have a stupid energy-shield which means you take no damage! Argh!

Aside from that, almost every game from the last few years - I don't know why the companies decided to wreck the games market, but I'm sure it had to do with piles and piles of money... :(

About Neverwinter - the game really only works well with the fan-made mods; they drastically changed my opinion of it. (esp. "Dreamcatcher" - far better than the actual game)


But my main gripe: Medal of Honour / Call of Duty (Basically the same game) So so linear and feelingless... I hate it so much! Why hasn't this genre moved on from SS2/Deus Ex? It feels like it's gone backwards! No game *ever* should have a single "use" key which will do your thinking for you!

[wendymaree]

I'm not a big fan of games like Mist, Sentinel and the last Gabriel Knight where you wonder around dozens of screens with nothing to do, nothing to interact with. They have a sprawling, lonesome feel about them. And despite the beauty of the surroundings, it gets boring. I liked the older games like the Kyrandia, Zork, Kings Quest series where there was something to do in nearly every screen/location. That made each new location a joy to discover because there was some magic/action/puzzle/person about to be encountered.

halo has a very engrousing plot and storyline.


otherwise it isnt very special.

the halo games make good multiplayers and the person who said that energy shields are stupid, they should try playing halo 2 1 on 1 with a friend, no shields active, pistols + energy swords, no regenerating ammo, no grenades whatsoever, no overshields or camo, no vehicles and a small map like beaver creek. then you will apperciate why halo 2 is good :D. as for the sims, i have played it and i initially liked it but i just got bored of it and it has just become another ea cashcow.

I just told what was my expirience, I'm no fan of them either, but I think there are far worse games than this one...
Example - NFSU:2 - they think that with chicks, and a few annoying rap songs, they can sell the product, they're right, and that is sad...

[troop18546]

Sadly true, the NFS has gone downhill :not_ok:

[UnHoly]

I think it'll be Splinter Cell. I like stealth games, but that one makes me feeling bored. I don't even know why. Maybe I don't like the atmosphere?

[troop18546]

Splinter Cell is the best stealth game ever made. :angry:
The atmosphere doesnt have to be funny or laughable... :whistle:
This is the game that keeps stealth games alive.

Never played Splinter Cell, but it definitely brought back the stealth part of gaming that had been sorely missed imo.

Well, there was a game "Gorky Zero" and it was a great stealth game, but with too many bugs in it. I'll finish playing it later... :whistle:

I don't agree with you. Best stealth game is Thief : The Dark Project. It had great atmosphere, dark and fantasy. It wasn't a funny, colourful game. Splinter Cell has got boring, political fiction plot which I hate :yawn: . And it was to easy. Sam also has got to many gadgets.

[Omuletzu]

i agree with unholy, although i am not a fan of the stealth genre :whistle:

Thief was an alright game, but for being a stealth game it had it's high points, I didn't really like though when they tried to make it third person, with the latest one.

What do you expect Sam Fisher to work for? The Easter bunny? :blink:
Seriously, the gadgets arent much and you have to use them wisely.
P.S."It had great atmosphere, dark and fantasy" if it had that than it couldnt have been a normal stealth game, it has to be intense and - come on - fantasy? :whistle: If it was too easy, try "hard" difficulty.

Thief was so awesome, especially when you played it on hard. There was nothing worse than a graveyard or crypt mission on hard. All that zombie moaning while poor Garret was creaping around and trying to find "his" loot. I remember loading up on flashbombs every time I had even a remote possibility to encounter zombies. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

-re-edit- I've really gotta read the topic more carefully... the games that I hate that everyone else loves have gotta be Civilization and the Diablo series. I don't hate the gameplay nor the concept, it's the huge amount of time that I lose to these games that makes me hate them.

[MdaG]

I really don't like Diablo 1 & 2, Duke Nuke'Em, <whatever> - Fortress.

[Elliman]

My dislikes are as follows:

Morrowind, 'cause I don't like havig to run for aprox. 10 min. to get from town to town. Also it was just to complex for me, I like'em simple.

Neverwinter, it is, as has been said, to dark, and makes your eyes ache, and I jus found the storyline boring.

GTA series, I just never understood the fun in being in a car and driving in circles while shooting and running people over.(Although I feel obliged to say that I simply love Carmageddon :ok: )
And last but not least, Doom1&2, Quake1&2,Blood and others alike, I'm just not into FPS with poor graffics.(Again, I do love Duke Nuke'm though :max: )

... so take the engine, and remove all that makes it Halo then?

As FPS go, I haven't played better than Flashpoint; although America's Army comes close.

I was incredibly disappointed with Escape Velocity - and that has a huge following; I just didn't see what all the fuss was about

Yeah, I don't like this two either but i forgot about them. Neverwinter is very boring, each chapter looks the same (three or for locations where you have to find something), there are changed D&D rules (like this stupid items you can wear only if reached some level), game have too many fights and you xp only from fighting. It's not a cRPG, it's a more boring sister of Diablo or Dungeon Siege. Morrowind also was very boring for me. The action was too slow, and the world was to big. I don't like games which I must play four months non-stop to finish them. One month is a good lenght :D

[troop18546]

To this date GTA3 is the best of GTA... :whistle:

[MV75]

Oooh a hate thread. Good stuff, here goes...

Stealthy and "team" based murder games like ghost recon, splinter cell, heck all that tom clancy stuff. :sniper:

"War" games. All those battlefield, vietnam, and other junk like that. It's all you see these days on the store shelves. :rifle:

The sims. It's just wrong when guys play that muck heap of a game. :sick:

MMORPGs. All of them. They can stick their subscription for slow arsed servers up their butts.

Farcry. Overhyped muck tip dog of a game.

And finally, any game except for NWN that uses 3rd edition rules, (POR2, IWD2, etc). Making one character and keeping track of their skills is bad enough, when it's a full party, stuff that.

One word: COUNTERSTRIKE :eeeeeh:

Must be the single most worthless game i've ever played, either contiously or by accident.

:apple: <--- even THIS is more intresting..

Either you use the BFG-sniper, or you use an AK of some sort.... then what?
Oh... and the cheaters... gotta love them. Pathetic.

Even the StrikeForce-mod for UT is better... atleast Shotgun and machineguns are viable options, and snipers are balanced into the game.

Looks like you never played Halo 1 or 2 on any higher difficulty then Easy..

They last few levels on Legendery, and you'll appriciate the Shield, and leanr how to use the energy-weapons.. they are good when you know HOW to use it.

COUNTERSTRIKE=idiotic&pointless violence and even worse no story or a real plot or something :sick:

Guess there's no room in this world for FPS that focus solely on action, without a story 'Sigh' Sniff..

[Morbid_Pathologist]

hmm, i didnt mind counterstrike back in the 1.3 days, but the newer versions have 2 big problems with them,

nothing different

95% of the people who play it are terrible at it, so theres no real challenge for me, then there was CS:Source, one of the maps i played of it i got 30-1, just boring...

yeah, GTA3 is probably the best one there is, Vice City and San Andreas are cheap rip-off's...not to mention the fact that they have the same graphics (slightly tweaked)

I always hated CS too, but I actually quite like it sometimes now I have CS:S. it benefits from an improvement in the physics, but it is still very very frustrating when you keep getting killed in irritating manners (like a headshot from a pistol at huge range...)

[WolverineDK]

hmmm games that i hate Halo is one of them just a normal fps with great graphics without a good story and CS is boring and the FIFA footie games makes my stomache vomit (i can´t see anything about 22 men running around 90 minuttes +- the game time) so no i am not into the footie games either.

but off my head there must be more i don´t like.

If I could find the developers of the conter strike franchise and burn them all :rifle: I would!

I second that. Not because I specifically hate CS (well, that too), but mostly because I like to indulge in senseless and explicit violence against my fellow human beings.

I guess I've been playing too much CS. :D

[troop18546]

CS sucks, and HL too. Just think - a scientist is running around alienrobotic spiders, bonking their heads with a crowbar. It's idiotic! :angry:

No...your idiotic for not finding something more substansial than a crowbar =P

Also the game wasnt the best thing about Half Life... it was the engine that was important to the industry :ok:

Yeah at least I can speak for Half-Life, it's a fun game for awhile, at least it has a story, it's good times, didn't play much of it, but I enjoyed it.

I don't know how you can hate game if you haven't played it. If I don't know something I stay quiet :whistle:

[Danny252]

Fnal Fantasy. I hate it.. its evil.. all 15,000 of them.

[Tulac]

I don't like FF series either, after I've played Suikoden , I thought it was great, then I played the second one, it was much similar, then I played FF7 it was ok too, but already a bit boring, all these Japanese Rpg's seem alike to me, and they're freakin annoying with their feminised characters!

[DeathDude]

Well in terms for Final Fantasy I feel the series has gone downhill since 7, 11 may have helped the series a little but not a lot, if 12 doesn't turn out to be such a resounding success, I feel it could be the end of the series,

As for the feminised characters I read an article that in Japan more women play RPG's then men and that's why you see a lot of these feminised characters which I despise playing, just look at FF 9 with the main character, ahhh.

The game I hate the most that everybody else seem to love is definitly Counter Strike. The game is dumb and the community sucks, imo.

It could've been a better game, if it was a bit more realistic, a bit more free of cheaters, and was only allowed for the age of 18 or upwards <_<

I don't like FF series either, after I've played Suikoden , I thought it was great, then I played the second one, it was much similar, then I played FF7 it was ok too, but already a bit boring, all these Japanese Rpg's seem alike to me, and they're freakin annoying with their feminised characters!
Its not only the MMORPGS leaking into the other genres... MGS2 Anyone? :blink:

Raiden :angry:

[irrelevantjet]

call me crazy, but i hate the following games and game series..

- Halo
- Gran Turismo
- Need For Speed
- Crash Bandicoot
- California Games
- Quake

*shudder* god i hate quake players....

[lethe]

I've played quake back in the days it was (relatively) new... Now I just hate it.
I play CS still, in LAN's and whatever, that's probably the only reason I have it installed.
Noticed someone criticizing Ultima Online... :blink: Gosh I spent last year playing it, still do, but kinda developed a hate towards the game.. It sucks when everybody forgets it's a game.

Games I was never too fond of:
All UFO's other than the first (love the first one, fanatic about it)
Civilization 3
Halo (all of them)
Max Payne (same as above)



Oh.. and say hello to the newbie (that would be me) :D

I don't know how you can hate game if you haven't played it. If I don't know something I stay quiet :whistle:
Ya see it was really too glorified, plus all the people I know bragged about it to me, told me to buy it: "oh it's the best, buy, buy ,buy..." and that made me hate it. :whistle:
Now it should be clear WHY I hate it... :whistle:

I couldnt agree more, theres nothing (and I do mean nothing) in that game to make it cool.

[Yobor]

Especially Quake III. Some people say it was the best one, but to me it is just another arena game. Sure, even if it was first, it wasn't as good as the clones that came out right after it.

[Sean]

Isnt that what makes a good game?

If clones are made straight after the game comes out it must be good. Actully no we are talking about quake?

Total Uter Sh|t

[Mad-E-Fact]

Hate is such a strong word. Games I don't like, I don't play. No need to hate them. If anything, I hate the way the whole gaming business has changed in the last years, and the direction it's heading... but that's a completely different story. ;)

And I must say again:AMEN :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:
If I take it in general I dont like almost every game that was produced after year 2000(well there ARE few exceptions.... :whistle: ).What else would I have done in oldies site no? :max:

[Yobor]

Everyone has to admit there are some games that are totally awesome and worth playing. But they also have to admit that most games are total and utter crap, not worth smelling.

[Partizanka]

What happened to the old Yorbor? Did you kill her? Have you over ridden her personality with some kind of secret imprinted personality that has now surfaced to betray the Confederation just like Hobbes in Wingcommander?

I demand an explanation.

[troop18546]

I dont get it either... :crazy:

[Sean]

To be honest i dont like most of the games on www.abandonia.com theres a few i do like but i like more complex games (dont have 2 be pretty) alot of the games on here are a bit 2 'simple' for me.

Yeah me too... :blink:
I think she was sucked into computer when she was playing Crusarder no regret and that guy in red armor took her place.... :sneaky:
(btw it is even a guy(crusarder) :blink: )

[Yobor]

No no no. You see, the old Yobor was my Girlfriend, but I did a lot of the posting. However, she got to pick the profile and so forth. So it is basically still the asme person, except now with only one personality.

[Lizard]

Just a last :ot: question:Are you REALLY that old (I mean born in 1990)????

[Yobor]

Yes In actually am. PM me.

The most hated game award of all time for me goes to Halo. I HATE HALO!!! A lot of people love this game like it is their mother or whatever, but there are no redeeming qualities about this game. The Aiming system (console) is horrible, the graphics are mediocre, and there is no discernable storyline.

Maybe in another thread ...... so we dont go :ot:
just wanna say the ''covenant'' means in english a sort of a monastery...and the aliens are really attached to their religion in the game, the prophets of the game are truth,forgiveness,regret and couple others...(most of them are christian/jewish values) Halo which will bring upon the world the FLOOD which refers to Noah's Arc..... so on and so on.....

The game i hate that everybody else love is Savage, failed attempt to combine strategy with action .

[Yobor]

What is Savage? I have never heard of that. Mebe a link to something?

[xcom freak]

http://www.pcgameworld.com/game.php/id/1111/Savage/

I call quake the "2 colour game" because whenever i see people playing it they are always on the same stages and the colour of the stages are 'orange' and 'dark orange' :D

[MdaG]

I basically dislike <Enter any FPS game here>-Fortress, only game that I found enjoyable through mindless violence is the GTA-series (and maybe Syndicate ) :whistle:

[Marek]

I hate FPS's too...

They are ok for about 15 minutes or so then they are boring...

Its really irritating going to LAN Sessions, 'cause everyone else wants to play FPS's all the time... :ranting:

On the odd ocasion when I can convince them to play a game of Warcraft III or Star craft, it lasts 30 to 45 minutes, I kill them all :max: , then we end up playing Unreal or Counterstrinke or something for the next 3 hours!!!

and even when we play Unreal, they always want to play Deathmatch. Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Deathmatch! :ranting:

What about Assault or Onslaught? :cry:

Those are really Cool!!!

The Craft series is a step in the right direction, but I prefer simulators, rpg, adventure and turn based strategy. That's my cup of tea.

I think Wolfenstein: ET would be great for you, it' team based, so without a good strategy you can't win, it's still fast and you can sit at machineguns and stuff just like in UT's Onslaught, but with even deeper tactics, because you can choose between a few classes(it's still an FPS), but most important of all it's totally free, but there is no single-player...

ET it's a really wonderfull game, but I wouldn't say that you have to use any tactic. In clan matches ofcourse, it's necessary, but in ffa everyone do what he wants to. But Marek, you should try it anyway. It's the online shooter I've ever played.

[Tulac]

Well I haven't played it but I think that I would like a cooperative multiplayer that's free(well almost)...

Why is everyone bashing it again?

@Unholy: I forgot to mention that joining a clan adds to the game, I saw a few clan battles and it's really great!

[MrBackAlleySka]

Dunno why. But I hate the Sims.....wow, chill off real life to play a real life simulator.... LOL You want a life sim? Buy yourself a kitten....I like kittens....
....meow....
But if you try any cheat codes on a kitten? I'ma have to go 5 kinds of kung-fu whupass on you! (can now see Omletzu trying to hex-edit a cat....)

[PrejudiceSucks]

I really, really hate Halo 2. Sorry, fanboys, but a campaign with no actual ending?

Survey says: Load of balls.

I also dislike - Everquest. Reason why? The people who play it are annoying, you have to grind at it for ages and it has about 10 skins or something ridiculous. Everone looks the same, everyone acts the same and that's because their minds have been SuBtLy AlTeReD!

*must... grind.... must.... call.... others.... noobs....*

Not only that but it costs a lot to buy and even more to play (like ?100 a year). It's not worth it when there are better alternatives.

Ooh, ooh, also I dislike Deus Ex: Invisible War. Reason Why? It removed just about anything that kept Deus Ex cool. Deus Ex was pure genius, it was a game to get nervous about, a game to fall in love with. Deus Ex: Invisible War took away that feel to the game and replaced it with a simple RPG/Shooter.

[JJXB]

i haven't played eq yet but halo 2 makes a good multiplayer (if you have a few friends who like to play it that is :P) so don't be so quick to bring it down. i must agree with you on DX:IW though (it came with my xbox and i completed it quickly) and i have to say its poor compared to the original on pc (PS2 conversion sucked balls)

[Ferengi]

Everything from iD after Romero left, so everything after Quake. The fast gameplay of Quake was totally fscked up, the level designers didn't have JRs insight into flow, and firing fear walked the corridors.

halo and all Xbox games just look like the same ole shite repackaged and hyped. people going gaga over an old celery based PC shows how dangerous micro$ofts marketing can be....

play day of defeat, the best co-op FPS ever,

its 100% tactical, yet without that gaylly annoying edge of perfect shots that CS has. i used to love CS, i cant stand it now ive found Day of Defeat

The Unreal Tournament Series has some good cooperative FPS modes that really work out, domination, team deathmatch, assault...

The Twisted Metal series. Back when that came out the 1st and 2nd games were touted as genius, then the 3rd and 4th came out and were supposed to be only subpar, then finally when the PS2 was released they came out with Twisted Metal: Black and it was supposed to be incredible.

I REALLY tried to enjoy the Twisted Metal series, I enjoy a LOT of the games in this thread that people don't like, my gaming tastes encompass so many fields... but this one didn't do it for me. All it was was a bunch of cars shooting each other and a weird clown dude.

Can I give some advice here?
I really struggled with Warcraft III as well...
Playing against the computer on Normal was just impossible...
What I eventually did was I played a two player game against the pc and specified that its race would be the same as mine, whatever your favourite is, mine is Undead...

Then I played the game and got seriously trounced, as I expected to do...
Then on the sumary screen at the end I selected to save replay.
Then go back to the menu and choose to view the replay.

You can switch which player you watch in the replay and I found it extremely informative to watch how the pc does it.
Take notes and then try to copy what the pc does step by step in a new game against an easy opponent and you will find that you would probably win...

I played a 4 player game with three easy opponents and won...
Last weekend I almost beat a normal level opponent, almost...

The campaign mode is crap though, but it does have good differentiation and balance between the races (like WC) - the expansion pack's adding the Imperial Guard as fully playable, complete with many a big tank.

Anyone notice how Black & White was truly a boring game?

[JJXB]

to play black and white you need to be very patient

[Dreadlord]

Nah, that's not what I meant, behind it all it was just an AI experiment, there wasn't much of a point to it, I beat it around twice with two different creatures, then played a few skirmishes, but it just gave up way too soon.

I must admit, that I really hate Medal of Honor! That game really sucks.

What was the point of the creatures there? I never used them more than the basic tutorials in the first map. Most of the time it wasn't captured, it was leashed to my temple.
Whenever I tried to teach the creature anything, it's alignment turned to even more evil, tho I was trying to be a good god. :whistle:

[Dreadlord]

You were prolly teaching it the wrong things, I had a godly cow when I finished the game once and a evil leopord or something the second time around.

Tried to teach him the spells. The damn monkey never used them.
When I saw it picking someone up, I'd order to put it down and go eat some regular food. It ended up picking up people just to throw them away and then getting the whitey conscience to tell me "your creature is hungry blah blah" every 10 minutes, even though it had a mountain of food at the temple entrance.
It felt playful nearly every second. I gave him the beach ball, he threw it to the middle of the village.

On a sidenote, I confess I loved to fly through a village where the creature was, listening "ahhh", "help", "save us" and alike. :)

Monkeys don't really want to eat regular food...
Neither does the Cat.
You need to give them more fish than anything else.

At first they try to eat people but you have to slap them around quite a lot in order to teach them not to do it. I've actually slapped my monkey around, :whistle: , so badly that he's almost died a few times...

When you see your creature eating the right food or casting a useful spell, don't hesitate, zoom in and stroke his tummy and pat him gently on the head...

It takes them quite a while to learn spells, but the monkey learns spells faster.

With a little bit of patience, your creature will eventually become your greatest asset.

My monkey ran around watering trees and crops all the time and he would also go fetch trees for me and drop them in the town centre.

Then he would also cast the wood spell into the town centre as well...

My monkey rocks :ok:

[lethe]

Patting his head took too much time, slapping was faster :angel:

[Marek]

Shame on you!

Now we know why you turned evil... :twisted:

[Lizard]

I got a Tiger,that casted lighting bolts and fireballs, helping people breed(and then he eated them :ranting: ),periodically razed every enemy village and kicked behind EVERY single enemy monster in the game.... :evil:
I played as "darkest dark" and my animal was really quite a help.It really isnt that big problem to teach it things(and as I figured out later,Tiger is dumbiest and in guide they really warn you from chosing it becouse he "wont be able to learn spells or even simpliest actions.... :blink: "
I never changed my Tiger for other animal.... :angel:

[Dreadlord]

My godly cow was so interested in changing people to breeders that at the end of a level my main town would be infested with villagers.

I kept him healthy and strong by making him carry a boulder around the island every 30 minutes or so.

Only agressive spell he knew he was fireball, and he seemed to like to use it on enemy granaries.

[Lizard]

Yes mine Tiger do it too.But I leaned him to eat idle people :whistle: :evil:
He dont eat anything else(he throws anything else in granary).He was on people-diet for begining of game :whistle: :evil: :evil:

[Dreadlord]

Another game I hated was Duke Nukem 3D, after the Atomic Edition came out it was alot better though.

Praise the powers that be; you used the word slapped!

anyway, not sure if I already mentioned this, but I REALLY dislike Red Alert II.

[Dreadlord]

Is it because it's too good?

I hated the original C&C.

[DeathDude]

Red Alert 2 was indeed different, didn't mind the FMV's though.

What was wrong with the FMVs? I always thought Westwood had quite decent cutscenes usually.

I think it was fun, CoD is much better...
I like the possibility of sitting behind a machine gun, and the ww2 setting, but that's just me...
:kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: CoD is heaven for MoH! :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:


Viva la Call of Duty!!!

[DeathDude]

I said I didn't mind the FMV's I never said they were bad.

[peregy]

Call of Duty is the best. :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:

[PrejudiceSucks]

Stop helping games look good. The topic beneath is for that!

I hate Shogun : Total War!

It has like 9 types of unit! BOOO! (Although I have to admit I play Rome and Medieval before it, this could have influenced my opinion)

Also, Warcraft 3! BOOO! It had a hackneyed plot! BOOO! And the units were tedious! And Battle.net is full of cheaters! BOOO!

[Juan Rayo]

Warcraft 3 (note to Fanboys: nice cut scenes DO NOT a good game make)
Halo 1/2 (there are SO MANY and MUCH BETTER shooters around)
Final Fantasy (Key word, FINAL. Please END. NOW)
Diablo 2 (WHAT ROLEPLAYING? "see, am a warrior, I click on things and bash them! man that is a great Story! man what a challenging role playing experience! AM gonna kill the demon another 500 times to see if the drops anything usefull! ahh, this is roleplaying...")

CoD is the best single player FPS! Just remember the feel when you are fighting with your commrades for life defending that house, and the music... :wub:.
But CoD for multiplayer is also great, better to say best by now.

[DeathDude]

Meh ebay might be your best bet, square should still be selling 7 for the ps one I imagine though.

Well diablo doesn't have much of a storyline, i agree, but the game is the best hack 'n slash game around

[Marek]

Yeah I played Diablo once...
:bleh: :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

What a rubbish game...

My Brother inlaw is absolutely nuts over it and is constantly talking about it and I'm like Yeah? Shuddup!!! :ranting:

[PrejudiceSucks]

Actually, it's great. It has a nice 'feel' to it.

FF7 was very good but FF8 was better. Really nice characters.

Oh I also hate Duke Nukem and its offspring (1,2 and 3D).

[Zarkumo]

Diablo is great. Diablo 2 is %(&$/(?=!)"/...
