Games that you dislike that everyone else likes.

[Ivory]

always online!

Well... what do you expect from a massive multiple online role-playing game?

I don't like Maplestory, but that's mostly due to the ultra repetitive gameplay that exists to waste your time.

[Hallan Parva]

ultra repetitive gameplay

I agree

I can't tolerate most MMOs (read: anything not named Spiral Knights or Elsword) for that very reason





also I totally mistook you for Korby until I quoted your original post

[WheelieCarbonate]

I really, REALLY have a strong disliking for the Battle Network series.

Same    
never got why people like it so much.

[Colonel ServBot]

well.
you might shoot me now, but i ABSOLUTELY hate MegaMan Starforce. that, and final fantasy. except for ff7. and fable 3. and occasionally the elder scrolls series.

[Hallan Parva]

final fantasy. except for ff7.

okay guys

I vote we stab colonel servbot for lumping into the "generic nerds who get rock hard for Cloud / Tifa" category



I mean really go play Final Fantasy 4 ONCE

[Tengu]

I like all of the Final Fantasy games except 12 and 13. And I did play 11 online for a little while and it was okay. Actually I'd have to say 7 is one of my least favorites.

-FF2 NES is fantastic. FF6 is almost as good. FF1 is tedious but alright. FF7 is only playable for two hours or so until it goes downhill so far that i stopped playing it (the fact that the version released in Germany is a trainwreck in terms of translation doesn't help either ... and my aversion against PS1/N64/Saturn 3D graphics).
-I also absolutely hate Valis. All the games in the series are just unplayable. The controls are horrible. And I am not interested in how fanservicey Yuuko is. But for some reason many people like them.
-Gradius V is a piece of garbage compared to 2(both Arcade and NES), 3(SNES), Gaiden and even Nemesis 3 MSX and I have no idea why people consider it the best Gradius game ever. Treasure does make some good games, but Gradius V is not one of them.
-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is tedious and the music hurts my ears. It sounds like they made NES music but used SNES instruments. I seriously can not like that game ( nd I even got to the 8th dungeon of the dark world).
-NES Mario games. The controls are slippery and unprecise. I'll stick to the SNES games and the ones after that. Allstars unfortunately is just as unplayable.

EDIT: Command & Conquer Red Alert 1 is the weakest of the first four C&C games imo. It just lacks personality for me (Tib. Dawn has Kane and Seth, Tib. Sun has Slavik and the overall dark atmosphere and Red Alert 2 is just so amazingly cheesy). I never play it unlike the others.

I'll say it right now... Yume Nikki.
Now, I don't dislike it, per se, but I'll be honest, it just bored me senseless. I got it, thinking that it would a super creepy suspense fest, but ehh, only a little. The rest of it's just wandering around aimlessly for half an hour while checking out the bizarre sights.

That being said, at the time, I didn't know the different faces had powers that I could activate with the number keys until much later, so that kinda sucked.

And to be fair, the game is more of an interesting experience than an outright scarefest, or proper game or whatever.
Plus, it is actually pretty bloody creepy at times. But it's just... more weird than creepy for the most part.
That and playing it straight after finishing Ib probably left my expectations a little too high, so that probably wasn't a good idea on my part. Oh wellz.

So yeah, it seems like a very interesting thing, but it ain't quite up my alley, I'm afraid.
Well, save for this guy. He should've probably been a Hale, or something.

stuff about yume nikki

from your description of it being mostly weird and not being a game but an experience, it sounds like earthbound.

also, most 3d sonic games I never liked, mostly for their voice acting and control. I can't stand the characters or the majority of the fanbase, and the levels bore me to death. I never saw the appeal in them honestly.

[VGS2]

Well I suppose it can be, but Earthbound's more of a game that is also an interesting experience. It's a somewhat conventional RPG that has a goal, a story and a large level of turn-based action.

Yume Nikki is more like a random events kinda thing where there's no real objection in mind, aside from collecting those powerups.
You walk around, look at the odd sights, try to interact with 'em, and check out what's changed from last time. So yeah, I suppose it's kinda like that LSD Dream Emulator game on the Playstation, but in 2D.

I dunno, man. At least Earthbound lets me go and beat shit up. I spent almost half an hour in Yume Nikki just exploring the same room wondering where to go, which gets dull for me.

[Xronim]

Im not sure if the first one counts but:

Skyrim because of the fact that you play a demigod who is basically unkillable when you obtain the right shouts (Marked for Death is broken) compared to the other TES games like Morrowind, Daggerfall and Oblivion. Skyrim feels dumbed down and too easy compared to the other games in the series.

Super Mario Bros. 2 USA (the Doki Doki Panic one) ITS NOT MARIO!!!!1 is all I have to say about it.

[ChaoticChao]

Well, save for this guy. He should've probably been a Hale, or something.

I think you found slenderman's new best friend, maybe a tag team?


Anyways, back on topic, I find it hard to say what games you hate when it mostly is just a part of a game, but if anything, I really don't like most of those zombie apocalypse games. Just don't appeal to me.

Super Mario Bros. 2 USA (the Doki Doki Panic one) ITS NOT MARIO!!!!1 is all I have to say about it.

Personally, I disagree entirely. SMB2 USA did way more for the series than the real SMB2 (lost levels) did. That one was basically just a cheap hard mode expansion pack. SMB2 USA introduced Shyguys, Snifits, Birdo, Bob-ombs, cemented Luigi's primary differences, Peaches ability to float, etc. All sorts of new material that became standard for the series.

Does anyone here remember how that ends? Worst Mario game ending yet.

[Korby]

I don't know, people seemed to like it in Inception.
