Re: Irrational hatred for a game?

You know, I saw this thread and I could not think of any games that really cause me to hate them or make me angry. I guess I'm more chilled now as I was in my younger days. But then one game came to me...

Animal f*cking Crossing on the Gamecube!

Seriously, words cannot describe how much I hate this piece of sh*t game. I cannot stand it. From the cutesy, annoying as hell, personality-less characters, to the boring chore like day-by-day activities. There is no plot, no point, and I have never felt so unattached to characters in games, when clearly with the point of the game, I should be anything but unattached. I'm not a big shooter fan anymore, but I wish I could have purchased a shotgun from Tom's sh*tty ass store and mowed all those stupid mornic animals that always ask me to go find their lost items, or send them letters that I know full well they won't be able to read anyways, the f*ck down.

I also hate having to cycle through pages of tedious badly written text everytime I do something minor, like visiting that lost and found place.

I put up with the crappy game for a week or two, just until I got to a stage where I could get me some awesome NES games. It was too much after a while though and I haven't played the game since.

Haha maybe not, but I have never seen a single bad word been spoken of the game from critics or players.

Perhaps I just don't get it.

I've seen AC really try people's patience, so yeah. I don't really blame people who don't like it.

In fact, I'm kinda surprised it has as many fans as it does.

Heh, yeah, I could not get into it. My gf didn't even get too into it. She loves Animal Crossing though.

I also could not get into Monster Rancher. Maybe its just that style of games in general that don't appeal to me. the sim stuff is tough to get into.

However, I loved Persona 4.

I bought Monster Rancher for the GB and quickly stopped playing it. I also hate, absolutely hate, Pokemon.

I can not stand Okami. I bought it because it was hyped as one of the best games for the PS2, and real work of art..I can't stand the way the characters talk. It is the most annoying gibberish I have ever heard.

Borderlands. I don't understand what is so special about this game. I hate everything after the intro.

One that I wanted to enjoy, but have grown to hate with such a passion that I was tempted to throw it in the trash was Bangai-O Spirits for the DS. For me, that game was the epitome of bullsh*t. I get pissed off every time I see it on the shelf. Hell, I'm getting peeved now just thinking about it sitting there.
