I've got one. Legend of Zelda, a link to the past. I pretty much worked my way to the final stage, and just stopped.
You have no soul.
I hate Secret of Mana. I couldn't stand the battle system and got tired of it after about 10 minutes.
Games you hate that are loved by everyone.

Halo. I enjoy it occasionally but people who are absolute Halo fanatics piss me off.
Also Madden. It's the SAME DAMN THING EVERY YEAR only they throw in new rosters and controls, and maybe update the graphics. -
And football teams change skill levels pretty much every year.
If they only made one Madden game the teams would all be what they were in 1995.
-
People really need to get over the Madden bias. If you're a football enthusiast, each new installment really is different from the last.
LMAO I DONT KNOW WHAT A 2 POINT CONVERSION IS, BUT MADDEN IS SO AWFUL

@Mr.:

Guess I can agree with this the giants are playing like the Jets from last year where the Jets are playing like the Giants of last year.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or a bad joke but a 2-point conversion is when the
team on offense runs the ball into the endzone after scoring a touchdown. -
I think he was mocking people who whine about Madden and don't know anything about football.
I don't even like Madden too terribly much, but it certainly is necessary to upgrade it every year for the target audience.
-
EA makes the Madden slightly different every year for it's fans
THQ screws Smackdown fans to the wall every two games or so. -
Final Fantasy XII. I found the story and characters very limited and shallow and failed to really hook me the way other FF games have. Plus I don't care for the new battle system. There was nothing wrong with the old one in my opinion.
-
The only issues I had with the game were with is how overrated the battle system it is "You can avoid having to fight" which sometimes you can't do
without getting surrounded or assraped by monsters a few
levels higher than you're whole party and leveling up yhe same issue I had with DragonQuest VIII. -
I agree with you about how over hyped the battle system was. Hell, having the monsters on the field makes it more unbalanced in my opinion. When a battle is random and you escape, the monsters are gone. I accidentally stumbled into a powerful monster's "nest", tried to run away and got cornered. Somehow one of my characters managed to escape while the other was eaten so I was able to save and heal.
-
Couldn't you change the fighting system in FFXII?
-
I'm actually playing Final Fantasy XII right now. (I got the game LAST Christmas, and through a period with several extended breaks, I have about 120 hours on my game right now).
After thinking about, this is one of the reasons why I like the Final Fantasy franchise. However which way, every game does something new with the battle mechanics. That being said, I've enjoyed what XII does with the mechanics. Everything seems to move faster, I've had no trouble running like hell when I didn't want to fight, the Gambits give you ALOT of control (if you give enough of a damn about them, and even more so if you turn them off). But I think what I really like best about the game is how easy it is to deviate from the main story, go on the hunts and side-quests, and jump back in where you left off without the what-do-I-do-nows looming overhead. (Which is something that plagued me back when I played VI, never actually got around to finishing that game.)
-
thats weird cause I started to play ff12 today.
I like the battle system. It reminded me of star wars kotor somewhat…..
Only thing that can ruin it now is if the characters suck and if the license system suck (tho I can tell it will probably be more enjoyable than the sphere grid)
And also Im gonna stop being a douche and judge a game by its demo
-
With the sphere grid you didn't have to use points on certain parts of a character's grid to allow them to use certain weapons,armor,accesories or overdrives.
And also you can't judge a game by it's demo since you're only sampling
the full game,okay scratch that a bit a game can be jusdge sometimes by it's
demo i.e. Timeshift & The Simpsons. -
I really thought XII was one of the best in the series just because of how extremely different it was from all the other games in terms of gameplay, story, characters, etc. Also because half of the plot wasn't dedicated to a sappy love story like every game since VIII.
The one bad point was Vaan I thought. I know he's supposed to be difference since he's like an observer to the main story rather than an important force in it, but that just makes him even more boring than he was initially.
-
And how can you possibly justify that gayass design
Still haven't played XII, but goddamn.
Was IX really that love story centric? I remember the angst with Dagger losing her voice, Zidane's constant pursuits and all, but it doesn't seem as memorably bad as
the Rinoa/Squall shit in VIII.VIII was still an awesome game, though, as I'm rediscovering (I'm currently in the middle of another playthrough).

shrugs To be fair though I have lost about 90% of my interest in the FF series. I'm mainly playing Tactics at the moment and only to keep me going until I get my copy of PSP Disgaea. I'm hoping FFIV DS will change that.
-
What we've seen of XIII has probably killed my future interest in the series, outside of the IV remake and the Tactics series.
I'm becoming a Dragon Quest man
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit

SHIVA THE MAGICAL MOTORCYCLE
Yeah, I've been playing a lot of DQ lately too. Only beaten the first game though, and trying to play through all the main installments in sequential order.
-
I dunno…I love DQ Monsters, but Dragon Quest 8 just...I never really got past the first part because you level up SO slowly.
I do enjoy the Toriyama designs over the well...fruity design of FF tho.
OH SHI-
-
DQ8 was the only dragon quest game I played but man was it epic
haven't felt that in a while for and rpg
-
Is there any use for the dragon quest series these days aside from mindless nostalgia and fanboy wanking?
-
FFXIII looks so fucking awful. How can you go from something as amazing as FFXII, which focused on gritty war and had nothing to do with a romance story, to something as cheesy and SWORDS FLY AROUND ME as FFXIII.
The fact that Lightning […] was created to be a female version of Cloud doesn't help.

Look at it this way, when has Final Fantasy series EVER acted like the previous game in the franchise existed? (X-2, Dirge of Cerberus, Revanent Wings, or any other spin-off don't count)
Either way, I ain't gonna knock XIII until I've played it though.
-
Maybe if they'd just give us more info on the game other than "Here's a guy whose name you don't know" or "motorcycle summon" it could look better. I hate SE and their "LOL WE'RE NOT TELLIN YOU SHIT" policy.
-

They're still making several games for it so I don't see what you're getting at
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
-
He's getting at that the series should die.
Except it shouldn't.
-
Yeah fuck you pal
-
I hate the original megaman series, which was the talk of the town way back when
