Hm...Very interesting topic...

For me, I'll have to say most western RPGs, like games from Bioware and Bethesda. I just can't get into all that long exploring and not exactly the prettiest cutscenes...XD

Then there was Final Fantasy before XIII. I just could never seem to want to pick it up, when there were other games that were better for me at that age.

CoD was great until MW, when there was almost NO vehicular missions...WHY!!! THOSE WERE MY FAVORITE PARTS!!! I'll watch the MW series as an action flick, but not as a game.

And then there is the entire MMORPG genre...None of them seem interesting to me, and the idea of paying subscriptions and playing on the PC for most of them irked me...

And finally, there's Uncharted...*Sigh...* Despite what others may say, I thought it was very, very, very...average...It could never draw me in as it does with some people I know...*coughchloecough...*

I swear...It's very hard for a game to make me put it on a high pedestal, to make me really, really enjoy it. XD

I've given Oblivion a couple of tries now and despite being an RPG fan, I really couldn't get into it on either occasion. I want to give Skyrim a go but a big part of me thinks it'll end up in the same pile of neglect.

World Of Warcraft, the Kingdom Hearts series, and Minecraft come to mind too.

GTAIV nearly went down this road and has been gathering dust for five months. But I gave it another go two days ago and after investing more time in it, it's really won me over!

I gotta add pretty much all mobile games. Especially the big ones like PlantsVsZombies and AngryBirds. Just boring and repetitive after a while for me.

Kingdom Hearts II killed the series for me. Didn't really bother with the rest after that, tried Birth by Sleep. That was almost 2 years ago? Still haven't gone back to it since it doesn't really draw me in.

Oblivion as well, heard the hype, tried it, didn't really like it. Ironically, same thing happened with Skyrim, but that one drew me in a lot. At least until I completed most of the quests. I haven't played it for two months now, mostly because it keeps crashing every time I try to fast travel. >_>

The Mario games. I think they're really fun, but I never became obsessed with them or praised Nintendo for their 'ingenuity.' Tongue

Final Fantasy XIII Tongue According to some people, this is the "best" FF title ever. Setting the bar pretty low if you ask me. Don't quite get the Persona series either, but I put that up to lack of time to properly invest into the series. Especially when there are more interesting games to play.

Same deal with the Call of Duty games, at least post MW1. CoD 2 was amazing. MW2, WaW, BO, MW3 are kinda meh imo. Pretty much the same thing since MW1.

Now I'm waiting for someone to say Monster Hunter. I've got my collection of Great Swords and Gun Lances at the ready Tongue

A lot of people harp on about how great KH2 was but I don't get it. I found it pretty tedious most of the time. I'm glad I persevered and finished it though because I loved the rest of the series.

Watch yourself on the way out, I think I left a couple of armed claymores by the exit. Tongue

Hm. I think Demon's Souls has also failed to cast its magic on me for the same reason as Persona. I haven't finished it, and I can't bring myself to put time into it.

I'mma be honest, the first time I played MGS3, it kinda failed to capture me the rest of the games have... I really only stuck through it because of the story...

>_<

I loved Persona 3, but to be honest I stopped at a deep point in it. Just because it's so time consuming and deep, I had trouble committing myself. Kind of like BlazBlue on Vita. I just don't have the patience to learn all the complex insane combos.

Oh how I miss the days of youth and hours of free time and focus.

Skyrim, my friends bought it for me back in November, but I still have yet to play it. Idk why, but I just have other games to play.

We're all looking for a hero in a world of villains.
