Like the title says, what popular games did oyu not like, and why? For the sake of argument, only include games from genres that you like. For example I wouldn't say Call of Duty even though I didn't care for it, because I generally don't like military/war simulators. So anyways, here are mine:
Super Mario World Advance 4; Super Mario Brothers 3 - No secrets to discover; levels way too short; you can't backtrack; all-around worse than its predecessors
Ocarina of time - Often difficult to figure out where to go (I gave in Dodongo's Cavern btw); little help given by the game; sidequests frustrating and difficult.
Epic Mickey - No backtracking; camera really is that bad; your decision to be good vs evil has almost no impact on the game (thanks largely to being unable to backtrack); there's no final boss battle; they outright lied about the "forgotten characters" theme.
EDIT: got rid of "Popular" from the title; they don't have to be popular.

Don't remember that game.

You know which one I mean though right? The one with the frog suit and the raccoon and all those other ridiculous powerups.

You mean Super Mario Bros. 3?

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
It is the same as any other Call Of Duty game I have seen. Run about, shoot stuff, repeat. I despise stuff like that.

guitar hero. why not instead have a social life, and play an actual guitar, instead of pressing random coloured buttons?
-
Call of duty series. nuff said

yeah, nothingn like shooting nazi zombies. [/sarcasm]

Big Rigs
-
Gears of War bored me fast. And I also hate Battlefield Bad Company. The first one is barely playable, while the 2nd has nothing really new.
-
Littlebigplanet. Boring.
-
Halo
-
Halo
nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
-
Modern Warfare 2. Murder me if you must.
-
Big Rigs
Everyone hates Big Rigs. Your not alone.
-
Halo
Good call. Terrible for the same reason CoD is.
-
I usually love racing games, but I despised NFS:Shift. The camera wsas crap, ALL the cars drifted, however you drived, and the drift mode was horribly difficult.
I'll stick to Forza 3 and NFS; Undercover, me.
-
Halo

Meh, i kinda like CoD, but i just hate Halo.
-
DP
GUYS!
This is about games that you would think that you would have liked, but didn't. If you loved CoD4 but hated CoD 6, than fine, but if you hate all shooters, saying so is NOT the point of this thread.
Read the OP.

NFS died after most wanted.
-
I think some people dislike them because they are the poster boys of the Xbox (And PS3 in COD's case). I know a lot of people who hate Razer because they thought it was too good for it's own good.
-

I loved Undercover, actually. Short story, but OK, nontheless, and when you've finished it yuo get to roam around the city in your bright orange McLaren F1, choosing either to drive like Jesus near cops, or ram them out of the way. Great way to vent rage.

No, the "forgotten characters" theme is just various background characters they made that resemble the art style of early Mickey Mouse.
-
Football games. Ok at first but just gets boring.

I'm talking more about the fact that the pirates from Peter Pan got a very big part, and that Donald and Goofy appeared at all.

halo 2... DOESN'T WORK FOR XP... major failure
Team Fortress 2
-
Super Smash Bros. Brawl; it was an item fest but that took away from the strategy as you basically waited for the Smash Ball to show up. Lame sequel to the much better Melee.

Just turn off items then.
-
Super Mario RPG. I heard how good it was, but I didn't like it very much. I LOVE other Mario RPGs, but there many annoying parts that seem to have depended on luck. For example:
The Hammer Bros. at the very beginning. I don't know why, but they were one of the most frustrating parts in the game.
Croco, mostly the second time. Very annoying
The Smilax Mega thing. Hated it.
When Dodo fights you 1 on 1. You basically had to use every turn healing or die.
The Axem Rangers. Totally rigged if you asked me.
Didn't like it very much in general.

You know that you can turn items off right?

DP man you beat me to it

No. It died at Underground.

Yes, so true.
Glad you agree.

No, just no.

NFS the run looks pretty impressive though.

Yeah, but the fact that it was more based on the items (as it the games strong point was the items, even if they took it a little far) meant that item-less combat sucked and playing online was a drag BECAUSE OF THOSE GOD-DAMN SMASH BALLS.
Melee was more fluid and the characters were better and Bowser was way more awesome.
-
I disagree, Smash played very well, and it took a while to learn how to play with a certain character. Butthe online was laggy to the paint of unplayability.
Smash is still my favourite wii game, it was the only reason I kept my wii, but SSBB wasn't worth the £150 I got from sellin all my wii games and wii.

You evidently haven't played Melee :P
Well, Brawl at least had a semi decent single player mode.
-
guitar hero. why not instead have a social life, and play an actual guitar, instead of pressing random coloured buttons?
It takes longer to get good at real guitar, you don't need a band to play famous songs it's a heck of a lot less expensive, and it's a game.

Lol I'm better at real guitar than Guitar Hero.
Really I just use GH for GHMix2.0 but whatever.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

You mean SSE? that was alright until you got to that great maze thing, which was IMO a crappy attempt at making the game longer than it should be.
Also Brawl was honestly more fun to me with items on, excluding the smashball, since it was more casual-oriented. Still, Melee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Call of Duty Black Ops
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate
*goes back to modding Doom 2*
-
Europa Universalis III
Confusing as heck
-
Dragon Warrior Joker (DS): Not terrible, but you've got to laugh when a DS game is shorter than its Gameboy Color predecessor.
-
Catherine
Age Of Empires III
Halo: Reach
Bioshock 2
Mindjack
Ninjatown
-
Mass effect 2. (gets boring after a while.
-
Final Fantasy III. I love Final Fantasy games but this one just seemed to drag on... and on.... and oooonnnn... Also, to get the best job in the game, you must be able to connect with someone that has the game. Simple enough, except for the fact that no one that I know has the game. >)>
-
Midnight Club III
Smash Flash :mrgreen:
-
Halo 3
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
-
Battlefeild 2 was another one of my biggest disapointmants
-
Catherine
Age Of Empires III
Halo: Reach
Bioshock 2
Mindjack
Ninjatown
Your the first person I've met who doesn't like Bioshock.
Agree with others apart from Halo: Reach.
-
All of CoD games.
Halo 3.
Halo reach.
All the Need for Speeds after the first "Need for Speed Underground".
Drug wars/Merchants of Brooklyn.
Plain sight.
Saints row 2.
F.E.A.R 2 (it's soooo samey.)
Arma 2
That's just a couple...

The other Final Fantasy III (the one that's just FFVI's USA version) is pretty damn amazing.
-
Black Ops. It's exactly the same as the rest of 'em.
Any of the Quake games. I understand that they're old, but come on?! You start the game, you run around and shoot. No plot.
-
Mirror's Edge. I LOVE DICE, but this was their first bad game. It's a shame, because it tried so hard.
If you try and attack me with all your greatest soldiers because I didn't like it, be warned, I have my own forces. :tank2
-
Pokemon Trozei: Absolutly bad, probably the worst pokemon game.
-
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2.
Edited for me, i accept TriTons decision.
The sequel was BULLsh**.Worst ever storyline, you have unbalanced ness, and 3 missions, not counting boss battles.
Its spliting teh areas up into "missions"
WTF?
Worst sequel ever, cant attack if 1 lightsaber was just thrown even though you could go with 1.
-
Most Pokemon games are the same.
-
Brutal legend.
If it was moar hack n slash, and less... weird strategy hybrid (?) then it would've been brilliant.
Story was good though, and left it open for a cool sequel...
-
Patapon 3: A rubbish sequel to one of my favourite game series. All that seemed to happen was you Vs. a million monsters. Nothing interesting happend AND GOD DAMN EXPLODING SALAMANDERS.
Left 4 Dead: Too repetitive. Played for about a day then got bored of it.
Halo 3: Just dragged on sooo much and all I ever do is get lost.
-
Lufia 2 remake (forgot the real name) for DS
I loved the SNES game so much but the remake looks like it just took the character names and made everything different.. not worth spending the money on how it looks alone..
-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, it was a knock-off of the real game.
-
The Sims 3. Gets boring really fast and the only way to keep the game playable is buy loads of expensive expansion and stuff pack.
-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, it was a knock-off of the real game.
Yeah, but GT5 (full game) is epic.
-
Please do not double post. You will get flamed.
-
...
I won't even bother responding to that.
Anyway, I was really disappointed at all the Super Monkey Ball games after Deluxe for the Xbox.
-
Kororimpa: Just hated the controls but still Mercury Meltdown is my favorite when it came to those games
-
Wii Music- Crap
All Call of Duty Games- Unoriginal Crap used to make 9 different companies money
Halo Wars- Just never gotten into it
Sonic Heroes- Crap repetitive voice acting and repetitive gameplay
Duke Nukem Forever- Crap Graphics, enough said
Homefront- Just Crap
Brink- The last one times 5
(Here me out) Crysis 2- Very obtrusive gameplay (3d helmet, reading ammo is a pain)
Fruit Ninja Kinect- Next to impossible/ Kinect integration suffers
-
Sonic Heroes- Crap repetitive voice acting and repetitive gameplay
"We'll show that creep the REAL SUPERPOWER OF TEAMWORK"
-
LittleBigPlanet: Got it because I was sooooooooooooo interested in Wipeout and Ninja Warrior. Now don't care
Pac-Man World 3: Its weird
Skate It: Crap Controls and a `Does not make sense` Storyline and only got it because It was on sale for about a tenner.
Pac`n`Roll. Only got it for cheap and hated it but yet it was addicting.
-
Sonic Heroes- Crap repetitive voice acting and repetitive gameplay
"We'll show that creep the REAL SUPERPOWER OF TEAMWORK"
I loved the opening, though.
-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, it was a knock-off of the real game.
They released what was basically a demo/beta for a full retail price.Raking in the moolah...

Call of Duty:Nazi Zombies:Moon(Expect some ranting): This is by far, the laziest work to come out of Treyarch. How do we top PR-ing D-rated celebrities in our "original" idea, oh I know... We put them on the F***ing moon! Seriously what the heck were they thinking? Was a 5 year old in charge of creating the idea? Not only that, the physics are completely unrealistic (not that zombies aren't already) but each character (including zombies) on the fricken moon would have to be wearing a $1,200,0000 dollar space suit... or they will die. Also, you wouldn't be able to hear a thing, physics proves that if there is no atmosphere/ nothing in the air... you cant hear anything cause there is no dispersion of the sound waves. Also since the community here hates the fact that overpowered weapons are teh ghey... the perks are ridiculousness. Tie in another part of the map, and a teleporter? You got one of the most confusing, retarded, unoriginal, stupid, childish games ever. I could go on and on about how they time the zombie attacks, but I should just stop now before I shoot myself.

Sonic Heroes- Crap repetitive voice acting and repetitive gameplay(I have this, very fun.Yeah right, the voice acting was a bit off adn sometimes just purely crap voices:In spanish Big will sometimes say something that means:The male rabbit can do it, refering to CREAM.Well done Big, your a prime example of a douche.And final boss is freaking awesome.
