Two Worlds (but I love Two Worlds II, still playing that)

Dragon Age 2 (worst game ever created, IMO)

I haven't done the Modern Warfare games, but I have mentioned BF:BC2. I think the big issue isn't that they're linear, but rather that they're forgettable and bland. It's not like Half-Life 2, or the old Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt, or Red Faction, or even Halo, where we have characters we care about and a story we want to see through and bad guys to bring down.

All of these "modern warfare" settings fall flat. It's all deserts, Koreans, Russians, terrorists, and sometimes they go somewhere with snow and do it all there too. Who are we playing? Nobody special, the rookie, he doesn't become special later on either, he's just kind of present in gunfights. He's not really a character at all. No Gordon Freeman, no Master Chief, no Parker. Just a nobody, and not even a nobody done right like in Allied Assault where you at least had a compelling story and setting (compelling at the time) to back you up.

COD: Black ops

My last Call of duty game

Same here, only with Modern Warfare 2.

+1

I have played games that turned me away, but never finished them. I guess this is one of those "Hate to love" things, just without the love

I can't speak for Bad Company 1, so not sure if it had a better story. But Battlefield has never been about single player. I don't see why anyone would even buy it for the single player. I will agree that the Bad Company campaign was boring, but I bought it for the multiplayer (which itself wasn't all that great. BF1942 was so much better with huge maps, planes, tanks, jeeps etc... But that's another story)

Really, I think Treyarch is the better dev with cod Campaigns. Care to explain why?

Yeah. "It'll get better, it'll get better... its over? Well at least that's something."

Although it wasn't a terrible game, I have to say Far Cry 2. I had to restart my game about halfway through my first playthrough because of a glitch that didn't let me finish a mission and all my previous saves were after that mission had started. So I restarted, progressed fairly far again...only to have ALL of my save games get corrupted. Then Ubisoft finally got off their lazy asses and patched the save corruption issue, so I gave the game a third chance and finally beat it. And the thing is...that game is horribly repetitive but I still had a compulsion to finish it.

Good question. Bad games usually don't hold my interest long enough to beat them. In fact a lot of good games don't hold my interest long enough to beat them. But out of all the games I have beaten I guess the worst would have to be Final Fight. As far as beat 'em ups go it's not all that interesting.

Nightmares.

Pokemon Black version. Don't get me wrong, the game itself is great, but...THAT [censored] BATTLE MUSIC EARLY ON. THAT. [censored]. MUSIC.

In all seriousness though, probably Fallout 3. I enjoyed it the first time, as it was my first open world RPG (had grown up on JRPGs pretty much exclusively), but after going back and playing the first two, Tactics, and now New Vegas, I just can't hardly stomach the thought of forcing myself through it again.

In my case, I think I wanted it to be more, even though it was obvious from the outset what it was going to be. So although I was a little disappointed, I likewise facepalmed at some of the complaints I was seeing: nobody promised it would be anything other than a Doom game, after all.

For me it would be Two Worlds, even though it's my gulity pleasure I can't deny it that Two Worlds was a terrible game.

Because compared to MW1/2, it was [censored] awful. I liked the story but the levels were just so utterly painful to play through.

Oblivion's main quest was pretty brutal to play through. Its just so...bland.

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. Damn ordering drunk off of Amazon at 2am.

It was better than the optional bit of attempting to close all the Oblivion gates! Yes I tried: I think I got 57 of them in the end. The memory still haunts me.

I never actually completed Oblivion's main quest because of the bit where you had to go to each city and close the gates. I had done two of them, Anvil and Skingrad, I headed to Chorrol and just could not bother myself to finish that one.

I think I viewed it as a personal challenge. One I shall probably never recover from. Wibble.

Fallout 3

Arcania Gothic 4.

I tried the Steam demo and thought it was going to be a fun game, so I bought it. Then I pushed myself to complete it in order to get my money's worth out of it.

Horribly written dialog and a story that makes absolutely no sense, combined with a railroading linear structure and poorly designed enemy A.I.

Not trolling here... Totally honestly, I was absolutely disgusted with DA2, but I still pushed through to the end. I wanted to see if it got better, if it would redeem itself somehow, or if it was just more [censored] piled on top of the starting mound of manure. I can't believe I finished it all, considering that even good games regularly fail to hold my interest to the end. I suppose it was the gaming equivalent of a train wreck.

Again: DA2.

RAWRRRRRRR. That game fills me with righteous fury even now, all these months after.

hmmm, Sacred II comes to mind >.<
Too Human (though I had the pleasure of my friend Co-oping through it with me)
ArcaniA Gothic 4 (good God is that a terrible game, Graphics were good, but man...just...man ) Bootysweat's description pretty much sums it up. I would also add that what the game constitutes hard difficulty is sending MASSIVE droves of enemies at you. I swear to god at point I was fighting a dozen orcs, three stone trolls and four swamp worms. The whole thing was just one big circle-strafe as I hurled piss-ant frost ball after another while they idiotically ran around in circles around me.
Tak and the Power of Juju. I was a smal kid then, but I think that was one of the first games I'd played that innocence refused to pretend was great, I remember sitting there thinking "no, I don't care if it's colorful and cartoony, this game svcks"

Dragon Age 2

I kept playing, thinking it would get better, that there would be a good ending that would make up for all the [censored] in the rest of the game. There wasn't. Uninstalling that steaming pile was more fun then then playing it.
