Yeahhhh... Never Again.

Uh, pretty much some racing games I had as a kid.
Like, I saw this trailer for Gran Turismo Concept and was REALLY hyped for it due to the beautiful music and visuals, then I get it a while later, and it was a HUGE let down.

Then my first experience with Final Fantasy ruined my view on the series (I think it was Final Fantasy X-2)
I thought i was buying a game of one of the greatest franchises, then I REALLY didn't like it. I couldn't get my head around the controls, mechanics, and so on.
I gave it to a friend who also thought it sucked and threw it behind his desk, never to be seen again.
Also, every single classic Sonic game. I usually die to some stupid reason. Wether it be flipping platforms after defeating Robotnik in chemical plant zone in Sonic 2, Tails killing me in (I think) Sonic 3 by stealing an air bubble on the last second, or just the nauseous controls of Sonic 3D Blast.
I just suck at classic Sonic games, I guess. XD

 

[Nah]

Ya know, Final Fantasy X-2 was also my first main series FF game (I had played Crystal Chronicles beforehand). Didn't like it at all. Never finished it, actually. I can't say I really like the Final Fantasy series that much. Perhaps its because I had poor choices in what of FF I played. Like how playing X-2 before X was probably a bad idea and X-2 is apparently not very good from what I've heard. Then I tried playing VI I think it was on an emulator, and I don't really get emulators. And my 3rd attempt at Final Fantasy was 13, which wasn't terrible but it had issues. So maybe I got off on the wrong foot with the series.

But the one thing I think I will never like about the series is the general way the battles are. It tries to do this turn based/real time hybrid thing, and it just doesn't work for me. Do not make me select commands from a menu and not stop everything while I'm selecting my commands, especially if the characters are locked into their positions.

Pfft, I didn't even get past the first boss battle. There were like battles everywhere after the song, then a boss battle involving the main character, or at least some clone or whatever... I gave up and tossed it aside xD

The games that come to mind are:

Shadow The Hedgehog - Cursing in a Sanic game? Really? The artificial Chaos mission is a pain. I would rather play Sonic 06 that this disgrace.

Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2: Changed everything!! The new combat system was horrible. Vanille and Hope are annoying characters. This game is why I hated Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z. You control only one teammate, if that teammate dies, the game is over! The story line never makes sense. An almost hour long boss battle if you haven't almost 100% completed the game before challenging it. An Ending that never existed according to Final Fantasy 13-2. And the most horrible thing of all, You don't play FF13, FF13 plays you!

Final Fantasy 13-2: Time Travel? You've already doomed the game. Reaction commands in cutscenes?? A 'To Be Continued" Ending?

I haven't had many bad experiences, but the first one that comes to mind is LoL.

I'm only really good with one champion, Wukong, so I tried to expand my horizons a bit. I tried Twitch, and lost horribly. My support abandoned me after cursing me out within the first five minutes, my entire team had turned on me, and I was instructed to just stay at the base and defend against anyone trying to sneak their way through and destroy the vulnerable inhibitors. My team lost, and they all blamed it on me.

Ever since then, I'm extremely hesitant to try new champions. My support was complete crap and was stealing all of my kills, but the entire experience just makes me want to stick with Wukong until the end of time, haha.

There's been probably some bad games in my earlier childhood I don't remember much of... but one particularly bad experience I had in a game was the first LoZ game I played in my own room, Twilight Princess. (Don't judge I've been playing older ones =p). I did enjoy the game overall. But what was the bad part within it. Two words:

Roll. Goal.

I.e. a really badly implemented minigame in which you rolled a ball through a series of mazes by tilting the Wiimote. Which was overly sensitive. There was one level in particular which was really frustrating, and I recall having looked online about it and seeing similar sentiments about it.

For me, I would have to say the kinda-a-fetch-quest-but-not-really fetch quest from Paper Mario: TTYD. Specifically, from Chapter 7 at Fahr Outpost. To even progress you have to go to pretty much everywhere you've already been, which is a pain if you don't have certain warp pipes unlocked yet. And at the end of it, the guy you've been looking for was in his house the whole time! At least you get to jump on him repeatedly until you leave his house.

Those fetch quests can be annoying, haha. I didn't mind that one in TTYD too much tbh, but that may be because it is imo a heck of an amazing game.

Final Fantasy XIII...
I hate you so much.

(rant)

Haha, FFXIII. I have a rather limited experience with FF (I've played more spinoffs than main games!), but a few weeks back at a friend's place we decided to have one of us play through it to see how bad it was. It was pretty bad! Autobutton to win was pretty much it, and the scenes were bleh and the characters for the most part were quite frustrating. And the very linear maps! @_@

Playing Minecraft alone... It just is as boring as watching a documentary of paper.

Each to their own. I've enjoyed playing it by myself though on survival, and I imagine a lot of people into creative are as well.

(Playing Fire Emblem Awakening) Opponent Berseker has 30 damage, 8% hit rate, and 2% crit rate? Screw you, take 90 damage and restart chapter. FFS.

X2 was OK in some parts I got bored in the middle of the game so I quit, though I might go back to it. You really should've played X first, not only does it make sense of some stuff in X2 but also it's arguably more suited to the majority of the gaming audience I feel.

For me it's Super Training. It takes forever and I hate doing it. But eventually once I'm done a week or two later I get more competitive team ideas......

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

I can name a few off the top of my head. Sonic Adventure 2, Street Fighter, Sonic Heroes, Tales Of The Abyss, Too Human, and Fallout 3 all come to mind immediately though.


Worst one though period for me would have to be Abyss and that's saying a lot for me considering not only how much I hated the other titles that I mentioned but also how much of a general Tales fan that I am. Long story short, everything about this game was done wrong in my eyes. Everything.

I guess that I can break this particular "experience" down a little bit though.


Okay first off, not only did the opening synopsis sound so ridiculously dumb that I just went ahead and said "**** it, ok", every single bit of dialogue that hit me afterwards felt like a series of precision needles destroying my brain cells one by one with every single word along with the combat being repetitive at best and the overall character cast making me regret the very moment I even bought the piece of crap that I call my 3DS with every waking minute that I spent on this game. Oh yeah, and the plot would make more sense to me if it had Pee Wee Herman fighting space bunnies and Nazi cowboys with nothing but a lamp and a dish rag while in the damn Matrix. At least that would be mildly entertaining.


Another one too - Back when I was around 12 or so, I used to play on the Gamecube with my neighbor and he pushed Sonic Adventure 2 Battle to where I agreed just to shut him up and to put it plainly, I wasn't even showed the controls before he just annihilated me on my first try playing the game. And even afterwards when I gained some semblance of the control scheme, there was only ever a few times that I even came close to actually winning a PVP match against him and even then I had no fun playing the game whatsoever and just felt a mix of shame and frustration in the end. Similar story a few years later in my late teens when one of my clan buddies pushed Street Fighter and Ultimate MVC 3 on me and again, it was just not fun for me to play at all whether I was getting curb stomped or whether I was actually getting close to winning for once.


I know that some people might like Abyss but for me, it was not only simply not my type of game but it struck me in a way overall appeal wise that I couldn't have imagined in my worst nightmares.

For me it's Super Training.

^ This, especially when I have tons of absurd balls hit me in the tougher challenges.

And there's a certain boss level in Harmoknight in Stage 1 (Growlik Rematch), where I try my best to make a perfect beat because I was storing many healths that time (and several restarts to keep the health up too), but to get a game over on my very last hit, twice in a row, even though I was having a full health on my progress. Seeing that all my efforts are ruined, I'm not sure of playing it atm.
