List your least favorite games and reasons for doing necessarily have to be bad games, just ones you have reasons for not liking so much.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi- I really hate how on-rails everything feels. It all looks wonderful, but goddamn it sucks to play.

Far Cry 2- I don't want to play a game that has malaria as a gameplay mechanic

Halo 5. Horrid art/ visuals/ lighting both on a technical (ie the textures are laughably bad) and aesthetuc standpoint, resulting in an ugly mess. The sound design is really mediocre, the OST is unmemorable, the story is atrocious, level design (campaign and mp) bad and the gameplay pretty bad as the gunplay itself feels clunky and the abilities don't mesh with the gameplay at all. Forge is good, the best its ever been, but is hampered by the horrible technical qualities and the inability to make anything look good. And of course, microtransactions and the delayed content release schedule that means staple features like infection, forge, file browser and a myriad of other gametypes were unavailable ranging from at launch to upwards of six months or even a year for some gametypes like oddball (this all being stuff in previous games at launch). There's also no splitscreen though for me personally that one didn't affect me too much.

So yeah Halo 5 is a shit game

Any fighting game ever.

probably the first uncharted game. none of them are good but the first one is the worst. theyre not poorly made games or anything, theyre just hugely pedestrian and indicative of everything wrong with media in the west.

In seriousness:
Halo 5
Mass Effect 3

I haven't bought many games in recent memory that I'd consider bad or have strong enough feelings about to consider my least favourite. Normally they tend to be mediocre and forgettable at worst. I was inclined to put Destiny down but I had such a love-hate relationship with that game depending on which DLC had just released.

MOBAs - I don't enjoy the concept, control scheme, or gameplay.

Battle Royale games - Just don't find the concept appealing, regardless of polish or "unique features".

Modern CoD - I thought the issue since AW was just the games sucking (given the general consensus on them), but WWII has made me decide that I just do not like the gameplay. It's the most frustrating mix of variables I've seen in a game; I feel like a bullet-sponge and a piece of tissue paper, like my guns simultaneously OHKO and feel like pea-shooters, pace of combat is both too fast and too slow, teamwork is crucial and useless, etc. I'd rather play any game that sits to either side of the CoD formula.

Any Need For Speed game after the original Most Wanted was basura and now EA turned the dead franchise into a Slot Machine Simulator to try to squeeze whatever money they can out of it.

Any CoD after MW2 with the exception of Black Ops 2.

Reach and Halo 4 for ultimately killing the series.

At least reach nailed the soundtrack, art, custom game and campaign (gameplay) departments.

Art and custom games yes, but nothing else really

Hey, it's better than 4 and 5 which fail to do anything worthwhile.

I really can't seem to enjoy 3D platformers or 2D sidescrollers at all. I've tried numerous times to get into Mario and Sonic games but I just get nothing out of it.

I couldn't pinpoint one, since I mostly just have a laundry list of games in my mind that I just consider "bad," and though I like listing things, I've never really bothered to list out in order what my definitive least favorite games are.

I tend to detest extremely popular games that are a 5/10 at best, the best example of which is probably Skyrim.

I like reading your lists tho

the only good sports game is wii sports

I resent Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.

Even without the name it’s pretty subpar. It heavily recycles levels and the gameplay is 100% “drive here and do this” with no variation. The art style and graphics were superb (yet extremely strenuous on the Xbox 360) and that’s it. The rest is just meh.

It was a huge letdown coming off the Nintendo titles and it really showed just how far Rare plummeted as a developer after Microsoft’s acquisition. The zany, inappropriate humour was completely gone. It lacked everything that made the original games great and didn’t compensate in any way.

The original levels never felt like a grind (Rusty Bucket Bay, Jolly Roger’s Lagoon and Grunty Industries excluded) and they were quite large without making you feel lost, and they were unique from one another. In Kazooie especially, you were given new moves every level that not only added dimensions to the gameplay, but gave the player all the tools they needed to complete the level and move on. Collectibles were a challenge without being too hard to obtain (Rusty Bucket Bay’s propeller Jiggy excluded but that was literally 1 jiggy) and the words felt alive with the enemies and interactable NPCs.

Nuts and Bolts had none of this. It tried to take the franchise in a new direction but Rare shit the bed and all we got was a recycling plant. I was so hyped for this game before I played it and man, I’ve only felt disappointment like that a handful of times before.

It didn’t deserve to be a Banjo-Kazooie game.

I don`t really hate any games, except those, which are too broken that you can`t finish them. I dislike MOBAs though, because to win you need to coop with team of people with different autism level, if you play with random people, also matches take from 30 minutes to hour each. In professional MOBA games, it usually takes one mistake to decide outcome of match, like 1 MINUTE OF INTENCE GAMEPLAY PER 30 MIN - HOUR MATCH, and I don`t really like it.

I also dislike concept of microtransactions in games you already paid for or chopping game into paid DLC, I dislike typical anime clishe characters or vague storytelling without any reason behind it, I dislike new games use names of older popular franchises only to capitalize on fans of older games buying their game.

I can`t really name any game, but thats maybe because it`s either I go with low expctations for games, or because I pick games carefully on things I might enjoy and filter games I would likely not enjoy.

P.S: Life of Black Tiger is shit.

the only good sports game is wii sports resort
