I thought of one more...Mario 64!
The last post got me thinking about it. I HATED the 3D mario games. 3D Zelda? No problem. 3D Metorid? Awesome. Mario just always felt like it should be in 2D. I love a lot of the Mario games, but the 3D ones I just pass by. 64 left a bad taste in my mouth, and Galaxy didn't do much to fix it.

Just out of curiosity and own personal research, mind I ask the ages of those who responded via this forum so I can kinda get a better sense of maybe why someone may or may not like a particular game?
With anything, everyone is entitled to their own personal preferences and not. Zelda may be a favorite of mine but its simply due to it being something I grew up with as well as personal types of games I like.
To answer the original question, there are several popular games I never could get into.
- Halo/gears , Honestly due to me not wanting to be part of the hype. I own all of them, played a few, but never was blown away by anything. Gears especially, why can't they make normal looking people, why all the super huge marines lol
-Resident evil (PS1 to Current). I love me some capcom, but resident evil just never resonated with me, maybe as I am not a fan of horror in general much less the survival horror genre. Dead space is about the only one I truly enjoyed and disliked 2 and 3 of the series.
-Metal Gear Solid (PS1 to current). Stealth games try my patience and for someone like me who overanalyzes just about everything I always hated making such a simple task take 10x longer and listening to them yap at you over the voice com lol
GTA(PS1 to current) - Great games in what they accomplish, but I suppose at least where I live (New Orleans) it reminds me to much of the way people act around here and it drives me nuts. When I managed a gamestop I sold 10x more GTA than any other game and it bothered me that they only played it to be a menace and because it was the cool thing to do and cared little of the scale and scope of the game

@madrocsz I am 27 and have had a gaming system in my possession since the NES. I play mostly current gen but like I said have played many games growing up.
Also this thread proves my point. I love the Gears series, Metal Gear, GTA, SMB 3 (best IMHO) but alot of you dont like them. Crazy doings around these here parts!!
scarmullet:
Call of Duty...just because it sells a lot doesn't mean it's good. Look at Twilight and Cocaine. It has it's fans but its just not for me.
Grand Theft Auto. It's just something that never grabbed my attention.
Link's Awakening. I beat it, but I had to force myself to do it.
Street Fighter. I am more of a Tekken guy.
SnesGuy:
I've always just ignored hyped up games unless the story interested me. I care even less anymore as I don't own a current home console.
All that aside, one newer game I did hate (and had great reviews) was Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS). Glad I got it at the pawn shop for $5. I don't even think its worth that, but at least I didn't pay retail.
(and this reminds me I should put that on my trade list. lol)
