Every time this thread happens I say Borderlands... love the style and idea, hate the execution.

I'll add for today: Full Throttle. Annoying puzzles and repetition.

SimonG: Homeworld.

Yeah, I couldn't wrap my head around the mechanics of it. Maybe I should give it another go.

Panzer General II has me stuck about 4 scenarios into the campaign. Soldiers is also screwing with me, about 5 scenarios in.

Arcanum -
I see what's to love about it and I had some fun with it but I can't bring myself to finish it because the very same reason why it's great (huge open world, lots of quests to do) is also a big annoyance when a quest requires you to run to and fro throughout the whole continent and revisit several places you've already explored thoroughly. I'm a bit of a completionist but some quests are so obscure I just can't solve them without a walkthrough and that kind of ruins my fun.


Fallout -
This year I've started my third attempt at playing it and I got a bit further than before but the uncertain time limit is making me nervous. Do I have time to explore, do I have time to fight? Will I manage to find water in time? It's all well and good from a story-telling perspective, but as a player such time limits kind of stress me out. I don't want to play a game for hours and hours only to find that I need to start over and retry. Especially not with story-oriented RPGs.


The Longest Journey -
As I said in another thread, this could be a great adventure and I enjoyed it in parts, but for my personal taste it's too long for this type of gameplay. I get more and more impatient with the long-winded spoken dialogues and the partially extremely silly puzzles.


Fahrenheit -
Fantastic atmosphere, great soundtrack, interesting story so far but ARGH! I didn't even know what QTE means before I tried playing Fahrenheit, now I already hate the guy who came up with this horrible idea. Most tedious, annoying and immersion-breaking gameplay ever. >:(


Thief games / Freedom Force -
I just don't enjoy games that require you to sneak around, which is a shame because I think these would be a lot of fun if I did. :(

Yep, from my point of view that's normal. ;)

As someone who love games like Heroes of Might & Magic I should love Magic The Gathering card games, but no, I've got more chance of getting a rocket to the moon than beating anybody beyond the tutorial.

MMOs.

Homeworld. I love the story & setting. I also love games that depicts large space battles, something that Homeworld has a lot of. But I always found it poorly paced and boring.

Secret of Mana: People keep telling me that this is a great game. I keep finding it to be far too flawed to be considered great.

Aurora. Because some games requires an IQ higher than mine...

I can't finish any Far Cry game and for the love of me I have no idea why.

Oblivion. I almost beat it, but then stopped playing once I realized I hadn't really enjoyed the experience at all :/

Fallout 2. I made it probably about 40% into the main quest (plus doing all the side quests for those villages I had traveled to), before the same thing happened here as with Oblivion.

X1 and X2. So much downtime - flying to each structure, then docking with each structure. 80% of the game is this uneventful traveling. Admittedly, I didn't get more than 6 hours into either game due to this, so maybe it changes.

UnReal World - everything about this sounds like I should love it, but I don't.

Starcraft 2 - Really enjoy watching it, but I just can't get in to it. The campaign isn't too entertaining either from what I've played so far. The biggest reason is probably because of my rather old PC. So maybe when I get a better one I might be able to give it another worthy shot.

EVE Online - Love the concept but the learning curve is just plain BRUTAL.

Leroux: Fallout -

The time limit in Fallout is no problem. It adds a nice "plot pressarue" on the main char. If you take the longest time possible, and visit every location twice, you hardly need more than a hundred days. And there is even an option to extent the days for a hundred days. Fallout is surprisingly short, once you come to know it. The most "time loss" is on the travel map, but even if you clean out every "dungeon" and drag every knife to a merchant, you will hardly run into a time limit.

I actually liked the time limit, because it was "real" in a sense, but never really an issue that made me take shortcuts.

Panzer Corps: I love the game in theory, but i´m so bad at it that I had to quit before braking the disk. I don´t know what it is because I usually love strategy and tactical games.

But I have not given up on it yet, I bet I will like it when I get better.

Any games that are open-worlded and/or which contain multiple paths/branches are hard for me to complete......this includes(not limited to) : Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Mass Effect 1/2, DA:O, etc. I am OCD addled(have to look at/interact withy everything in a game the first time around background/graphics wise......look at all scenery & props...etc. I also have to TRY to complete whatever I can the first time through. such games listed prior are bad for this, sadly.) and it affects my gameplay(mostly in more open outdoor areas, not contained buildings and smaller zones/areas/etc.). :(
