I find most open-world games (GTA, Elder Scrolls, etc.) to be awful, despite the love they get from most other players.
Pokemon does nothing for me; I've tried to play multiple games in the series and the result is the same: I play for 2-3 hours, get bored, and sell/return it.
Final Fantasy VIII isn't loved by *everyone*, but it reviewed well and has a decent following. Me? I'd rather a fork in the eye. "You're playing it wrong" doesn't excuse this game for me. (See also: Final Fantasy XII, Lightning Trilogy for games that some really like and I can't stand.)
The Resident Evil series: Nope. Too much item micro-management for me. Tank controls don't help, either.

Halo was the first of it's kind, really. It was so wide open when the world was used to corridor shooters. Also aim assist, bullet magnetism, and a huge number of features that are now FPS staples originated there. Looking back it seems like a standard shooter but really it invented many of the standard.
pretty much how I felt about the game. I liked the characters but playing it was never fun for me so I called it quits somewhere in the suburbs.

Demon/Dark Souls. I have them both, and I just don't get it
edit: and the Witcher 2. It was alright I guess, but nothing special.

I wouldn't say hate at all though. I just don't like them as much as many here do. I actually do like certain things in each of those games.

Hate is a strong word but I feel nothing but indifference for Demon's Souls. I respect that it was the first in the series and laid the foundation for Dark Souls 1 and 2 but I will never consider it equal to the other games.
There's also more praise than hate for Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment so I'll throw in that as well. I've said it ten times now but it's still the worst game I've spent money on in recent memory (and I bought Boogie for the Wii with real, tangible currency!).

To be honest I never found it the first of something. A lot of things remind me to other different games on pc. I suspect the most of the success comes to be the first good fps born on console.

Well, not hate, just think they are bland.

Although I did start with the Master Quest, which was a bad idea.

Far Cry (Except the first one)
Assassin's Creed (I enjoyed Black Flag though, but have a disdain for the rest of the series and I had to push myself through Black Flag. Still enjoyed it at the end, unlike other AC games)
Dragon Quest
Saints Row
Borderlands (Enemies that are sponges in FPS just doesn't feel right to me. Responsiveness of a shooter IMO is the feedback of something being defeated in a few shots, this game throws that off for me. Don't like.)
Any MOBA. Even back with the early DotA days on WC3 that all my friends played, I just can't get into it. Not a huge fan of multiplayer games any ways outside of MMORPGs, and the only MMORPG I truly like is EVE and in the past, UO.

Mario Kart, I just don't get it. There are so many good racing games and Mario Kart is so bad. It boggles my mind.

'Overwhelmingly positive' reviews on Steam, The Wolf Among Us. The illusion of choice was much more diminished than other TellTale games (not played TWDS2 yet!) and the inventory system wasn't used as much as other TT games like Back To The Future. I enjoyed the lore and going batshit crazy in the QTE fight sequences, but I was expecting much more than what I played.
Demon's/Dark Souls
Just could never get into them (Found the lack of story boring, the slow animations frustrating and the overall design uninteresting) and I really hated the first "arguments" some people were spitting out about a year after Demon's Souls dropped when I tried it: "You just dislike it because you suck at it."
Yup. I did not have the right to dislike it because they thought I sucked at it. More power to the people that likes the Souls games though. I hope you will have a lot of fun with Bloodborne!

Im sorry but i agree with the other guy. Halo always felt very bland and soulless to me. Never understood the hype when it came out and still dont.

GTA series would be the big one. Gave both 3 and 4 a good 15-20 hour chance and just didn't like them at all, nor finish either.
A lot of Nintendo's stuff as well.

Wouldn't it have been easy to just say, "All of the Zelda games, except Links Awakening."? lol

That means he likes Zelda 2
Which had top down sections, too.
Do you perhaps have an interest in Simulation racing games, as in GT and Forza style game? That could definitely effect it.
As for me....
Elder Scrolls series (Have Skyrim, cannot get into it at all)
Uncharted Series (Do not feel the appeal of the games)
...Actually that's it, really.

Elder Scrolls, the combat is just horrible.

That was just the world map, all the core gameplay was sidescrolling
Skyrim makes for a great hiking simulator if you don't use any waypoints though

I have a hard time enjoying puzzle games, so I'm not a huge Portal fan. I respect it, though.
I also have had a hard time getting into Mass Effect and Halo, as opposed to other games in their genres. I don't particularly know why.
Dark Souls is another.

Animal Crossing - I don't get it at all, I do all this stuff in real life, so why do I want to do it in a videogame? I'd rather socialize with real humans than pretend animal people.
Monster Hunter - I don't hate it, it's just not for me. Way too much fat, as I'd rather be hunting dinos than scavenging for items in preparation for a timed hunt.

Hate might be a bit strong seeing as I've played it for god knows how many hours, but I don't rate Diablo 3 as highly as it seems a lot of GAF does.
I find it repetitive and don't get what's so great about the gameplay. It just boils down to constant clicking of the mouse, and the odd numerical key press, requiring very little thought or strategy. In all the time I've spent playing it, I'm not sure I've ever genuinely enjoyed myself. It's usually a case of wanting to get a bit more XP to reach the next level, or the chance of finding a cool item that has kept me playing, rather than the fun.
It seems like it was cynically designed to exploit the player and is more of an addiction than a game.

I don't quite hate them (I actually admire how well crafted some of them are), but I have no interest in ever playing a Moba or RTS.
