[General Discussion] Games that are supposed to be really good but you hate

I despise first-person shooters. Whenever I hear someone screaming about the next "revolutionary FPS!1!," I cringe. IT'S THE EXACT SAME SHIT YOU'VE SEEN 10+ YEARS AGO IN DOOM,BUT WITH SHINIER GRAPHICS. The only games that did feature first-person perspective,but nontheless remained enjoyable,are Medal of Honor (the original for PSOne) and Metroid Prime,which is not even a "shooter" in the first place,but whatever.
And do not get me started on motherfucking Counterstrike... When internet cafes became all the rage where I used to live,this piece of shit devoured the brains of every single dumbass in the vicinity,turning them into a mindless zombie horde. If you talked to anyone about videogames,the first thing you'd hear would be "omg liek counterstrike is teh awesum lolol!1" Yes,it was that bad.

This is also one of the reasons I hate Diablo and the immense swarm of dumbass hack'n'slash clones it has successfully spawned. The other reason is that it's,well,fucking retarded. Whenever I see people discussing how much fun it is to run around in a bleak,so-generic-it's-nausea-inducing fantasy setting mouse-clicking monsters to death,I feel very homicidal. Also,the fact that Diablo and its clones single-handedly wrecked the virtually nonexistant genre of (good) PCRPGs is one of the single biggest crimes against humanity.

Zelda games. I don't hate them per se,but it just shocks me to see how immensely overrated they are. I honestly tried to get into the series,but it just couldn't hold my attention for more than 10 minutes (*cough*LinktothePast*cough*). I dunno,maybe I'm just a Sega whore,spoiled by Beyond Oasis and Landstalker,but trekking through the overworld blowing up/setting on fire/playing the Ocarina to every single object in the vicinity for the sole purpose of possibly discovering some inane secret is not exactly my idea of fun. -_- I do intend to give the series one more chance,though... I sincerely hope Windwaker will be able to change my opinion.

FF series. Especially FFVII. It's not that I hate the series itself,no;I played a couple of games in the series and actually enjoyed them,but jesus christ,the amount of fanboys the games have is absolutely ludicrous. O_o No game in the world is more overhyped than FFVII.

Mario spinoffs. The Big N is whoring out our fat plumber like no tomorrow. Mario Kart,Mario Soccer,Mario Party,Mario Golf,Mario Pinball... Mario Tennis!? Mario DDR? Are you fucking shitting me? What's next? Mario Accountancy? (c)

Soul Calibur series (oh boy,I'll get ravaged for this one). As far as fighting games go,there are two sides of the spectrum. On one end,you have Soul Calibur and,partially,Tekken. Very easy to pick up,very accessible to just about everyone. Why wouldn't it be,when absolutely any combination of buttons corresponds to a move,and combo potential is thus limitless. Just mash them buttons,and wowza - it's suddenly a clip from a Jackie Chan movie! And on the other end of the spectrum,you have hardcore stuff like Virtua Fighter 4,so-called real-time chess,where it takes at least a month to simply learn how to play properly. That's the game where a button-masher has no chance whatsover in a match against the AI,let alone an experienced experienced player,as opposed to Namco's fighters.
And,of course,all hail Eddie Gordo,the cheapest motherfucking character to ever grace the screen.

Wow,I actually feel much better now. ^_^ This thread rocks. Keep up the blasphemy,people!
