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

So wait, basically this is an "overated games that you hate" thread? I'd have to say Perfect Dark Zero, but I dont think that has a large enough fanbase. Everyone knew it sucked.

Also Guilty Gear. It's okay. Mediocre. I find a lot of the gameplay concepts really hard to grasp, and even then the actual gameplay bores me. The atmosphere has a certain feel and style to it though, and the music is excellent. But, still not great. =/

Another one, especially on these boards. FFT. Why does everyone praise the story? The dialogue is terrible, disregarding the mistranslations. Chapter 1 was interesting simply because they brought in various political forces such as the class systems in society. Too bad it all went down the drain when you first fight that zodiac demon or whatever. It felt way too much like a fairytale near the end instead of a story that was meant to be dark. (And I like how there are some who praise the story mainly because the church is made into some filthy, devious "organization" hell bent on control or earth's destruction or whatever--it wasn't even done well, IMO.) And Ramza's terrible "noble and heroic" archetype just pissed me off in the darker parts of the game. Delita's rise to power was mildly interesting, but his corruption was easily foreseeable. Fuck, you want a real story, go play Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together. Most of the development team worked on both games, but TO actually kicks ass.

And don't even get me started on the gameplay. Terribly unbalanced. What, Math Skill CT5 Holy 2x and you've won the fucking boss battle. Or whore out Orlandu. What a joke.

You had so much fun doing this and that and replaying the game 60 times and this earned it all those 9.8 scores and game of the year awards.

Didn't MGS3 actually have the worst overall sales of all three games? =/ (But yeah it did win quite a bit of awards)

I was quite surprised to see that Legend of Zelda won. Even though it was decided based on the mob rule of a bunch of silly kids, I thought to myself, man, Zelda games suck ass.

Thank god i'm not alone on this one. I tried getting into the one on the SNES (or whatever console it was) and the GBA. The gameplay is repetitive and the story doesn't help. It baffles me, how exactly did this game gain the recognition that it did? was it because it was easy to get into or something?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
