Has anyone else ever played a great, even legendary game that comes highly recommended, only to find that it just wasn't very fun? That's happened to me quite a bit over the years, with such "greats" as:

- GTA / Red Dead Redemption
- The Witcher 2
- Assassins Creed
- Mass Effect 2

Just a short list. Keep in mind I'm not saying these games are bad, just that I personally couldn't get into them.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

There are a bunch in my backlog that I have yet to play or complete.

Bioshock

The Witcher

Any RTS game

Assassin's Creed.

Just was not what I thought it was

The entire Assassin's Creed franchise, Grand Theft Auto IV, the entire Call of Duty franchise (they all look the same and play out the same, what the [censored] is up with that?) and the post Half-Life (1) games.

Edit: Guess I can add the the entire Gears of War grachise as well the entire Halo franchise.

GTA IV, 10/10 on IGN and I just never got why.

Mainly because of the name.

I never got into New Vegas but that's mainly because I get tired of games easily now. I have a huge backlog.

GTA IV.. tried tried tried.. walked around a lot.. nope. -made me want to visit NY again though

RDR.. had it for the PS3.. controller issues -namely how far and dramatically I blow chucks with one.. nope. -luuved watching sunsets.. and cut my finger off with the knife game :brokencomputer:

Oblivion.. please don't kill me :cold:

Saints Row 2.. -vehicle control issues, as well as character control issues in general. -I can get out of pirson fine.. but once we have to get in that [censored] car...
I basically never get any further... :swear:

later versions of Pacman.. I mean c'mon, baby pacman was just milking it.. :meh: and pacman pinball?? yeah, right. <_<

Borderlands, don't see the appeal what so ever. I played for about 3-4 hours and just thought it was a bad game.

Demon Souls, played for an hour or so and it didn't appeal to me. I can see why people like it however.

GTA series- None of the PC's have ever appealed to me. I like games like Mafia II and The Godfather I & II but this didn't appeal to me for some reason.

Well it did say great games, so you should be fine. :whistling:

Yea I hardly consider Borderlands a great game.

From the back of my head... any GTA. I play for 5 minutes and get tired of it. :shrug:
