Deponia.
Don't get me wrong, I love point and click but I hated this game because of its abstruse actions you had to do in order to progress. I just ended up having to use a guide in order to finish it and well, what is a game you need a guide for in order to finish it?
Maybe I just was too stupid for this game, who knows. I just know that I didn't enjoy it. At all.

I had the same reaction to that game. I love a good adventure game, but when the puzzles don't make any logical sense (and far too often they don't), I just give up.

Lol, I thought only I was sometimes seriously "wtf-ing" over Deponia. I loved it, but "heating up" a seemingly mechanic, not living bull with a cow picture and things like that? I've actually found this out with my awesome skills Click on everything with everything! but I've also stuck quite a few times.

It's rare that I hate something. Hate is a strong word...
I'd say that among the games I expected would be good but turned out that I didn't like that much would be:
- F.3.A.R.: As someone who absolutely loved F.E.A.R. 1 and liked F.E.A.R. 2, F.3.A.R. was simply a massive disappointment.
- Brütal Legend: Ergh... just... No. It just didn't work. I know that lots of people thought that this game was good, and I must say that it has a certain level of quality. However, the gameplay and controls are purely confusing. I really tried loving that one (see my gameplay time). But no.
- Need for Speed: Undercover: Although a bit dated, Need for Speed: Undercover seemed like a very decent arcade-like racer. I bought it during the summer sale and started playing it. It was okay, but not really what I expected, and almost felt "bland". But I gave it a chance and kept playing, and surprisingly, I had quite a bit of fun. Then, at one point, after I had just upgraded my new car with lots of stuff and worked at least an hour on the skin a graphics, a police chase broke out. "Not to worry, I got this." Suddenly, spike strips, which the game hadn't mentioned anything about until now. Oh, did I mention that spike strips in this game COMPLETELY stops your car? That's right. I was arrested, and because I had spent ALL of my money on my car and couldn't afford the fee, they impounded my car, and there's no way you get it back. The game literally deletes your car from the game forever. Needless to say, that pissed me off a lot and I dropped the game completely. Say what you may, that this kind of thing promotes "immersion", well that kind of immersion can go fuck itself. >:(
- DayZ: Why... I don't get it, why is this game so popular and praised? Basically, walk for a few hours getting hungry, thirsty and drenched, before actually finding ONE useful thing or a rotten tomato. Then, suddenly, by walking out of a house you apparently break your legs. You struggle in the mud for another half hour, before either being killed by a zombie, or getting executed by a player. But most likely, you'll just walk for hours, accumulating rotten tomatoes in your inventory. (Please note that I've played it quite a while ago and multiple patches and updates have been implemented since then, so it might be better now.)
- FTL: Faster Than Light: Thousands of players lift their pitchforks. Hear me out! I don't consider FTL a bad game. It's good, just definitely not my thing. It's the kind of game I really can't stand.
- Tropico 4: Again, just not my kind of game. I loved SimCity 4 and played countless hours of it, but Tropico 4 just wasn't that kind of game I can enjoy.
- Dead Island: OHH THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE REGRETS! ;_;
- The Witcher: Billion of players lift their swords. Waiiiit. Don't kill me yet. This game was horrible in my opinion, for the little I've played. Horrible combat system. Okay, you can kill me, now.
Now, please don't hire a hitman to go kill me because I disliked one or more of your favorite games. :P

Witcher 1's prologue was beyond painful. Everything cliché-ish, you knew where the fights will be because the convenient item placement. It was obvious that the trainee will die to try to pull you into the story... it was abysmal. The actual start of the game turned out quite fine. Sadly it didn't pulled me in as much to continue immediately, but with time I'll surely continue :)

What? Assassin's Creed 2 is still the best of the series to date, even better than the absolutely fabulous Black Flag. AC 3 is BOOOORING.
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually hate smart-ass arrogant douche-bag protagonists like that too and by all accounts, I should have hated Ezio as well, but...I dunna, he really got through to me. Even though he's a total prick, he's a very lovable prick, kind of like Gregory House. Or Spider-Man. Two of my favorite characters EVER. At first I was disappointed the new "assassin" was a spoiled rich kid with no formal assassin training and who took everything like a joke, as opposed to a no non-sense, bad-ass mofo like Altair, but then I sat and thought about it: even though he wasn't a spoiled brat from a very privileged family, Altair was kind of an ass-hole too, maybe even more so than Ezio. At least the latter treated his friends ok and had a personality beyond that of "I must kill person A, cause my master told me to" and "I don't listen to anyone, cause I'm far too awesome for that". And his character ark, which initially seemed boring as hell, really took flight when shit got serious and really dark all of a sudden, with his father and brothers getting murdered right in front of his eyes. I loved that. It was like a slap to the face of the buffoon he used to be up until that point.
But game-play wise..I really don't see what you could complain about. This game refined and brought almost all aspects of play from the previous game to near perfection. All while adding so much. It brought the sand-box world to life in ways the first AC couldn't even dream of: more weapons, more ways to tackle a mission (reminded me of the Hitman series in that sense), monetary system, renovation mini-game based on entrepreneurial spirit and business know-how, pick-pocketing, actual side-missions, many of which were chances to actually be an GOD DAMN ASSASSIN outside the main story (as opposed to running errands and being a vigilante that rescues damsels in distress from street thugs to increase his health bar... Like...WTF??? If I wanted to be Batman, I would have played the Akrham series), great fast travel system, much busier streets with more varied dialogue, less interruptions to go to Desmond's crappy "real" world, which NO ONE wants to see, etc And most importantly: controls were much better and much more precise this time around and so the parkour was actually really nice and enjoyable. Not to mention that the architecture of Renaissance Italy is PERFECT for this, much more than that of 12th century Israel. It even had 6 absolutely amazing platforming stages which thoroughly reminded me of the PoP Sands of Time trilogy a.k.a the best 3D platforming, action-adventure video-games, BY FAR, ever invented by human kind. Only bad thing was that the game was a little bit on the easy side, but I see it as a small sacrifice for everything that this game improved. I certainly can't agree that the combat was a joke. It was just easier, but other than that, it was absolutely THE SAME. So i don't get your point. I'm really sorry you couldn't see all this. Hell, this game was like a Grand Theft Auto game in the Renaissance. Or should I say, Grand Theft Horse :-p.
As for the other two, Brotherhood was just more of the same, so I couldn't help but love it and I even loved the new recruit training mechanic, even if it was all just text (how awesome would it have been to be able to play actual mission with them??) And Revelations was...well, that one was shit and I didn't like it either, but we shall not speak of it, cause it's not worth it. Still, 2/3 ain't bad.

Sure, but gunplay gets boring after about 3-4 hours.

For me the gunplay never felt boring. The game had good pacing and it plays best on the highest difficulty.

Sure, i would even call it quite realistic on highest difficulty as you have to peak around corners, flank enemies (really good AI as for it's time), sneak behind them and watch every bullet that comes in your way. Yet, besides of that gunplay there is nothing else to do. Every fight, even if look a bit different because of environment unfortunately has the same feeling.

It not makes me feel cool. It makes me feel sad. I was counting on many games on that list... And i faced numerous of not-so-good games which were overhyped because of small details that often were not the substantial for the game. You know... something similar to the Cinematic Feeling™. Someone tells you that something is great and you believe him because, hell why not and share the feeling because you think that it was your own thought not that someone told you that. I wasted lot of money on games that were told "Amazing and unique" that became "game with poor and cheap mechanics and good graphics". All hail cinematic feeling, screw players who like to think and struggle a bit to gain some reward. Lets give them everything for nothing. Let them feel like they are "so gud" that they achieved SOMETHING instead of letting them to achieve it. Aaaaaand some of the games on that list were "Hey, look, this comic/character/universe has a great potential. Lets use it making it totally different from what it was before, put there some not fitting mechanics and make something NEW from something that was already GOOD to make it more CINEMATIC. Instead of great stealth game with detective mechanics and not so common, epic, yet challenging battles make game with a lot of explosions, fights on every corner, sneaking with false feeling of stealth and most important lets totally change main character for some freaking badass. People will love it. Who cares about the original version fans if we will make something that will appeal to every casual on the world?". Screw challenges. Screw puzzles. Screw non-linear thinking. Screw players that loves to find their way and hates hand-holding, glowing hints everywhere, big arrow pointing your goal, "press button to solve that puzzle", "find a part marked on map to solve another big puzzle", etc.

Dude, Bioshock 1 is incredible. If you didn't like it, at least in the story atmosphere and feeling departments, it means you're fucking dead inside. Nothing more to add. For me it's the best game EVER created. I can agree with a few on your list, such as Risen, RE 5, Magicka and especially Killing Floor (a game which I despise and find absolutely abhorring), but seriously..."would you kindly" stop bashing on masterpieces??? If you had said Bioshock 2, on the other hand, that I could have agreed with you on. Good thing you don't also have Spec Ops: The Line and the Max Payne series there, cause if that was the case, your post would literally make me lose all faith in humanity.

Actually you may be a bit surprised but Warframe has a lot of "story". Of course it's relatively different from SP games as it's shooter. Yet i have found much more of it than in, for example Gears of War.
Also tell me... How long you can play and replay SP games? I played Soul Reaver 5 times already (most of my SP games i play offline so there is no time recorded) and yet there is nowhere to the time of CS:GO has.

Sorry, I think I went a little overly protective - I really like Magicka, Binding of Isaac and Trine - for some reason in my head they connected with the degradation you wrote to other (fitting! like Dead Space) titles, while you only said that you didn't like them. Most other games are good/enjoyable, but not for everyone - for example Skyrim is godlike in terms of dual-wield, but besides the graphics quality, it falls short in every aspect compared to Morrowind, for example. (Morrowind's graphics style is miles better, as well)
So, sorry again. I've read you comment late in the night and replied a few hours ago only based on my memories, didn't re-read you list - most of them are games that I didn't even find worthy to try (CS) or played but I see the flaws (Skyrim, LoL)
If another free weekend happens, give a try for Borderlands 2. It's kinda easier ( you can move while fighting for your like, so you have much better chances in single player), and it went more into the crazy world, so there's always something silly (mission) going on way.

As for Bioshock... it was really weak gameplay with some nice art. Game reminds me mix of "not-so-good-yet-not-so-bad" Singularity with it's "predecessor" in terms of everything System Shock 2. While i liked SS2 for freedom of choice Bioshock was just a "more cinematic" version of these 2 games with single "corridor", really dated mechanics of SS2, forced in false/weak stealth system with weak story+skills from Singularity. AI was dumb, gunplay unsatisfying, story forced and often unbelievable reckless. First time i have played 7 hours of that game before i gave up and another 3h second time. Even after all that time i don't remember anything from story plot.

Ok..now I'm really convinced your're fukcking insane.
"WEAK STORY"??? You mean the best ever crafted in any game EVER??? With the best most interesting and compelling villain? Yeah..ok...
Unsatisfying gunplay? =)) This is a game where you can launch sofas and bicycles at people's heads with telekinesis and impale them to walls with a cross-bow. Like...WTF????
And wtf are u rambling about??? Singularity stole from Bioshock, NOT the other way around. As well as from 3 or 4 other FPS games. You're really out of touch with reality... WOW!!!!

And what is so inventive in using telekinesis and impaling enemies to the walls in games? Painkiller done it better if you want to ask me.
Who cares about what was first - singularity or bioshock if first is just as bad as the second one mentioned here.

Actually it's dramatically different. Head hitbox was nearly as big as torso hitbox... With some great console command you could see actual hitboxes in offline playing. If enemy was moving his hitboxes were following him about 1m behind him. You could reduce that a bit with various settings but some of them (cl_cmdrate, cl_updatereate, rate, cl_interp, cl_interp_ratio) were always forced to the "correct ones" when joining any server. Not to mention that this game had serious problems with netcode. Depending on the pc specifications you could have almost non-existent recoil or totally fucked up, random spread and huge recoil (i had perfect, hitscan accuracy while my friend couldn't place a single, stationary shot in the whole crosshair with deagle... His bullets went always about 1 cm around the crosshair even if you was waiting few seconds between each shot. Ak was a bit "better". Even if it's first bullet was not in the crosshair the rest of bullets followed the pattern, even if that recoil allowed you to hit the sky on the full auto if you aimed little bellow the horizon line. He also struggled to kill enemy with whole magazine even if he put gun barrel exactly "into" enemy's face. You could see about 15 hits and blood splashes, rest of bullets vanished or hit the wall behind him and enemy wasn't scratched at all. Yes, even in "offline" playing.) Game was fun for about 100 hours until i changed pc for newer one... Problems came out of nowhere and i had the same case that had my friend. Yeah... from bad, old pc to better one... game changed drastically. Fun was that you could still see the "good" gameplay on one pc and bad "gameplay" on the second one at the same time. Yes, game was copied from first pc to the second one, config was checked and numerous times tweaked. That didn't helped. Installing new fresh game was the same disaster as before. So i came back to the cs 1.6.

Unfortunately, no amount of mods can make that game playable for me. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I could write a very detailed and long list of what turned me down when I played that game.
But to make it short, I reckon the main offenders are: simplified gameplay, overly assertive interface, excessive hand-holding.
I know all of that makes the game great for most players, just not for me I'm afraid.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, the gameplay could have had some more depth
interface easily fixed with mods, if I get what you mean...
what do you mean by "hand-holding"?
Comment has been collapsed.
I know for many that's just good as it is, and I've heard people saying that's their favourite TES game.
Anyway, mods only change the interface looks; what I meant with "overly assertive" is that it tells you too much, especially things you aren't supposed to know.
Just to mention one quick example: the "eye" icon. Basically, the UI tells you if are beeing spotted. Even if you can't see who spotted you. Even if you have no way of telling that you are being spotted, or that someone else is around.
Also you get a huge flashing "DETECTED" if they attack you. Why? If they attack me, I should notice that myself when I get hit, or when they get into my field of view, or when I hear them. Basically, the game assumes I'm stupid and need a huge flashing sign before I get attacked.
Some visual feedback telling you how noisy you are, or how visible you are would be perfectly fine, but being notified if someone can actually see you, that's just "magic".
Other kinds of hand-holding were also necessary, because of the extremely reduced NPC dialogue.
Don't get me wrong, It's not lazy design: it was a clever choice because the game was being released on console.
If you are sitting on your couch, you don't want to be taking notes and following clues. You want to follow an arrow on the screen, kill the guy and move on.
So NPCs give you a one liner that doesn't tell you at all what you need to do, in fact you can skip all dialogues and just have your hand held on every quest.
There also choices that should have consequences, but don't. You can switch between being human, vampire or werewolf indefinitely.
And can you kill the Emperor, but the Imperial Legion doesn't give a flying monkey about it O__O
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, the sneak system is far from perfect. Maybe it's just too difficult to make a realistic one at this time... After all games AI isn't in practice very clever yet
I recall having played that questline and got quite amazed at the fact nothing in Skyrim had changed at all... aft all it's just the Emperor, who cares ^_^
The only impact anything has is on what guards say
I haven't found any better game of this sort though...

Dungeon Siege 1. Tried playing it, thinking it would be something like Diablo 2 or Baldur's Gate. Problem is, it has the worst attributes of both games. That game was such a snoozefest it took me a decade to muster the energy to complete it beginning to end.
Then there's Halo 1. I love 1990s shooters like Quake and its ilk. The single player campaign for Halo 1 was repetitive and uninspired in ways I couldn't even imagine. I don't know how this series got such acclaim.
Speaking of acclaim, there's Magic the Gathering: Battlemage by Acclaim. Whoever played that game never played the card game, because it plays like the world's worst RTS. I'll probably play it again some day, just so it's fresh in my mind so I can write a scathing review of it.

Some people here keep mistaking disappointment of an expectation and/or disliking something for hate.
Hate at a game you wanted, you paid for, knew it was going to be good and could not wait to get your hands on it only to have it turn around and slap you, spit in your face, grab you by the hair and slam your face into the ground, then pouring oil over you and lighting you on fire for trusting it, for believing in it. Something like:
Thief reboot; Dragon Age 2 and 3-now-Inquisition-because-Electronic-Arts-is-now-terrified-of-numbers-association-between-good-and-bad-games; Star Wars Battlefront 3-now-Inquisition-because-Electronic-Arts-is-now-terrified-of-numbers-association-between-good-and-bad-games-but-it's-gonna-end-up-bad-anyway-because-they-cut-the-game-in-half-to-be-sold-in-pieces-later-on-so-they-can-release-earlier-this-year-and-catch-the-Star-Wars-hype-train; Splinter Cell Blacklist-Michael-Ironside-is-left-because-Ubisoft-was-on-a-path-to-change-the-formula-that-worked; Assassin's Creed post-2 games - because Ubisoft felt the need to stretch a lovely trilogy-esque science fiction story into a pinball slot machine.

Right, I forgot to add that the new Battlefront is a lesser experience apart from the visual aspect of it than its predecessor even if you were to wait and purchase the game with all of its cut out downloadable content, simply because its predecessor was a game played on a much larger scale, twice as large in fact.

More recently, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. I was expecting the epic quality of Borderlands 2, and while BLTPS was alright, it just wasn't what I wanted in a successor to BL2.

I wouldn't say hate, but I'm very bitter about Dragon Age: Inquisition. I mean, Dragon Age 2 had issues, but I loved it. Dragon Age: Inquisition had soooo many problems, in a different way than Dragon Age 2.
- All the disregarding of previously established canon.
- Oh, the Dalish value mages, because there aren't many among them. Haha, no, they leave them behind in the woods. Pshhh.
- Fiona played an important role, the most important role in the mage rebellion. She started it, in fact. Haha, no, let's blame it all on Anders. Isn't it great of us to demonise a mentally ill character?
- While we're on the subject, where is that second moon? Seriously???
- Lead them or fall. Isn't that, like, the tagline? But you can't fall. There is no way. It's not like Mass Effect 2's ending. You feel... invulnerable. There is no bad ending or whatever. You can't fall.
- The storyline was disappointing. Corypheus was just. Meh. The final battle sucked. Ugh.
- Like, with Asunder and The Masked Empire, you'd have expected the game to be about a mage/elf rebellion, but no. Ughhh.
- I want to replay, because I want to romance other characters, but it's just so. Tedious. After the first time. The Hinterlands again? Ughhh. Just let me skip that stuff. I want a story mode.
- Just... how ooc Hawke is.
- Like, imagine your Hawke was a blood mage, or romanced Merrill, or both, or just. Didn't disapprove of blood magic. Nope, suddenly Hawke is against all blood magic!
- Your Hawke approved of Anders' actions? Nahhh, they'll call him a monster!
- I could go on, ugh, but I won't.
- Where is Sandal? Where is my Mabari? Where is Zevran? Where is the ability to have a threesome with Isabela and Zevran. Come on.
(Still, I sit here, excited for the new DLC.)

Batman Arkham origins.The worst of ARKHAM series and I could swear that Arkham city had much more detailed graphics not to mention that suitable dark atmosphere....

The Arkham Origins issues pretty much all derive from the fact that someone other than Rocksteady made it.

I got bored with it, but I was chasing Enigma data-packs and other such nonsense. Once I went back to the actual story of the game, I enjoyed it much more.

Yup, this. Then on top of the various ways it felt worse than the previous game it ate my save. Bah!

FFXII i mean, maybe if it was not a FF i would enjoy it, but if you call it FF, make it a FF, not that -.- Also the Dragon Age saga, but i blame all the hype and the "It's like Baldur's Gate 3 " thing

Two that come to mind are Dark Sector & Mafia II. Its not that often that I'll just completely abandon a game, but that happened with both of these titles.

Killing Floor - what a horrendous piece of shit. Multiplayer zombie FPS's aren't exactly my cup of tea, but I thought I might enjoy it with friends, as I did Left 4 Dead 2. But holy shit...that game is...I can't even find the words to express how bad it is.

MAFIA 2
Holy crap, why do people find this game so good?! I got bored after touching down on Italy. And I am somebody who played through the original Deus Ex without mods or help and I loved every second of it, so don't go saying it is because I'm a CoD fanbo1 or some crap like that for not liking that horrendous game.
