The game that everyone hates you for hating...!

[Hatta]

Personally, I've never played a vs. fighter I've liked. Well I guess I had a little fun playing Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat back in the day. But that's just because his moves were extremely simple and cheap. Anything more complicated (Street Fighter II) and I get totally lost and no amount of button mashing seems to help. They're really not much fun at all.

Beat-em-ups on the other hand are great. Someone should make a vs. fighter that feels like a beat-em-up.

Personally I can't stand to play rhythm games like DDR or Guitar Hero/Rockband. It was never really my thing.

Additionally, I think many people just don't understand my general dislike for 3D games. I was the person who actually got bored playing Ocarina of Time and Mario 64. I just don't like it...

I dislike Final Fantasy VII. This is unpopular. I tried playing it and it just annoyed me. I also dislike the Resident Evil series, though I don't hate it. I understand why people like it. I don't understand why people like FFVII so much (please don't explain it to me, I've heard it all before and I still don't get it.)

Mario 64 really started to suck after you completed all the levels and got all the easy stars. I started playing last year, and still haven't finished. Running around the same damn levels over and over again looking for a crappy star with only the tiniest clue is annoying. Collecting things just isn't fun. If I make it from one end of the level to the other alive, that's good enough for me. Platforming should be about dodging enemies and making tricky jumps, not endless searching.

Basically, everybody back then nerd-gasmed over how 3D it was. Granted, the graphics were about as detailed as a comic strip character more than half the time, but no one remembers that, they just remember the overdone CGI parts. Remember, this was a time when 3D was king, regardless of how much better 2D looked.

Now, most who sing the praises of FFVII mainly are getting off on the nostalgia factor. Either that, or they realize that RPGs really haven't offered that much that is better than FFVII. (This is less praise for FFVII and more a sign of just how bad RPGs have become lately.)

Oh yeah, I guess I should say I never really like Resident Evil as well. I always hated their absolutely dreadful control scheme, and the one time they got the control scheme right (RE4), they forget to include the horror aspect and it becomes nothing more than "House of the Dead: Off the Rails".

I could not agree with you more (b^_^)b

I don't hate it, but I found Ocarina of Time to be rather boring and I couldn't find myself to play it that far when I had the Gamecube disc with it on, same for the other N64 Zelda that was also on it. They also looked really drab and dull to me. Even Wind waker, as beautiful as it looks, just didn't motivate me to play it. I prefer the 2D Zelda games like Links Awakening and 4 Swords (Gamecube) personally.

I honestly don't get it either. When I first played it I thought it was good, but FF6 and CT were so much better. But I guess the shift to 3D let them do things like having the hero do acrobatics with a huge sword, which made the game ungay enough for all the new entries into the console world who started with the PSX. You know, the people who used to beat us up in the SNES days. That's why they all hated FFIX. The main character used a couple of daggers. That isn't cool.

One game I absolutely hate is Street Fighter II. It's way too difficult, too generic, and far too repetitive. It's just BRUTALLY hard. It's cold, tough, and unforgiving. I hate it.

How fun would a fighting game be if you could easily breeze through it? I'll answer that for you: It wouldn't be. It would be boring, bland and repetitive.
When you start to accelerate at Street Fighter, you will see that every match is unique, and it is not repetitive. As well, you will notice that it is alot simpler than you once thought it was. You were just playing it the wrong way.

They have. They're called "mortal kombat", and "Smash bros"



I don't like shenmue. I devoted a good couple of hours to that game and just couldn't find the joy. It really is the epitome of what I don't like in games: "Playing" to earn story development.

I hate Devil May Cry, I rented 4 and couldn't stand it at all. Also not a fan of most RPG's, or even if I do like them I usually don't finish them because they are too long and I just get bored. I think the only RPG I ever finished was Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

I see a lot of people here that hate 3d platformers, I think they shouldn't be judged like the older games, they are really different. Some of them play like old platformers like Crash Bandicoot, where you just go in one direction and jump over stuff. Then there are ones like Mario 64 where your in these big environments and you have to do a challenge or find stuff. I hate looking for those red coins, I can't stand looking around for that stuff, but I like the other stuff in Mario 64.

If you want a 3d platformer that's more like older 2d ones try the old Crash Bandicoot games, the original Pac Man World (mine has tons of scratches and freezes at one of the pirate levels, I got it used anyway, gotta get another one ) and the Maximo series (Maximo is a spiritual successor to Ghosts and Goblins, in this game you can either run through the levels fast like an old platformer or look through the levels for secrets, which there are tons of, but they are optional)
