What "Great" game did you end up hating?

I'll probably be shot for this, but Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That game is so damn boring it hurts.

For the record, I don't like Castlevania in general for that very reason, but SOTN is the one everybody worships, and I just don't get it.

Resident Evil has also always bored the hell out of me. The "revamp" for RE4 and 5 didn't change my opinion.

I'm also in the "modern shooters suck" crowd. Get me some Doom and we'll play.

There are others, but they're escaping me now.

Inside Jabu Jabu's Belly, which admittedly is one of my least favorite Zelda dungeons.

I was thinking more about the "horrid" targeting system. I never once had an issue with it or the camera (though Wind Waker had a much better camera).

Well, admittedly it is early on in the 3D era, so the camera's not going to be perfect and there are some things to get used to. Navi was pretty annoying too.

The legend of Zelda a Link to the past.
I put rocket fuel in my vaccuum and it started a fire in my house. I am so mad at Black & Decker for making a vaccuum that I can't do what I want with.

Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard someone say they hated that one. Reasons?
