Great games you just dont like...?

[Darren S]

A few for me (all PC)

• Warcraft III - superb graphics and sound (for the time) but the gameplay sucked. Nothing more complex than mass churn-out of units and rush the opposition. Yawn. Totally and utterly outclassed by Command & Conquer Generals. Yep, even with C&CG's Tank Rush tactics..
• Counter-Strike (both 1.6 and Source). There, I've said it. Let the flaming commence! Great underlying appeal marred by stupid, stupid hit detection. Why the feck after all these years is the pistol still one of the most accurate weapons? Spot a enemy 300 yards away - single shot, bam, HEADSHOT!
• Neverwinter Nights. Massive potential and I pumped hours into the single player mode initially. Just got bored with it after a while.
• GTR - even The Stig would have trouble handling any of those cars with consistent lap times. Zero margin for error just made the game tiresome. Much improved with the later GTL and completely forgiven with GTR2 - still the benchmark of any racing game. Period.

thats the funniest thing ive ever read about WC3, youve clearly not played it online ever. Blizzard single player mode for WC3 is all roleplay, its an awesome story and its fun to work through but the real meat and potatoes of the game comes out when you play online

Clearly I haven't played it online - you're right. But if the previous WC's and StarCraft in a LAN count, then my opinion ain't going to change.

I hate all Call Of Duty Games. as well as medal of honour games. thay just dont do it for me, much prefrer the likes of battlefield 2 and more modeern games

Take that back :nono:

The first Medal of Honour on PS2 (the one that starts at the D-Day landings) is f**king awesome!!

The sequel (Pacific War against Japan) was a pile of w**k for some reason though

I have another - Pro Evo Football

My flat mates during my first year at uni played that game constantly. Did my nut in watching them every night

Probably did'nt help I'm not a football fan!

Alien Vs Predator - gives me motion sickness

Recently? Gears of War. Purchased on release day. Again, gave me motion sickness. Flogged it to my mate. Gutted.

Thought it was just me with the motion sickness thing ! lol. Dont seem to get it really anymore with the newer games, halo, quake, doom all used to knock my stomach for 6.

Lately, GOW, Rainbow 6, COD3 are all fine, must be something to do with frame rates and overall smoothness of the graphics etc..

I didn't like any of the MOH series after the PS1. They were quite a breakthough at the time but didn't really move on after that.

It's weird how it affects some people. My m8 gets motion sickness from a lot of FPS games, yet can play things like WipeOut constantly. Must affect different people in different ways.

Either that, or he's just being a wuss.
