I have two that immediately come to mind.
Earthbound: Given how much of a reputation this game has built around itself, and the fact that people are willing to shell out $150+ for it even though it has a Virtual Console release, I had very high hopes for this game, but just could not get into it no matter how hard I tried. Yeah, it is definitely unique for an SNES RPG, but it's appeal really escaped me as I felt like I was playing a mediocre RPG. Given how underwhelmed I was after about 5-hours of playing it, I actually sold my cart which I had found at a thrift store about a year earlier for only $5. I do have it on the Virtual Console and may someday try it again, but sadly I just had a hard time getting into.
Metal Gear Solid: This game immediately has a strike against it in that it is a stealth game, a genre that I'm not the biggest fan of. Regardless, people talk about this game and franchise on the same level as Ocarina or Time or Half Life. I tried very hard to like it and I did end up getting about halfway through it before giving up and not having the motivation to keep playing. I will probably try and play it again someday, but it'll have to wait. On a side note, I LOVE Metal Gear Rising, but because it is not a stealth game in the least.

The most obvious answer for me is The Witcher 3. I love open world RPGs, absolutely love them. The day I first played Morrowind was a milestone in my gaming life that is on par with first playing Super Mario Brothers. However, they are a very rare type of game... with Bethesda being almost exclusively the sole proprietor. When I heard Witcher 3 was open world, I was excited and went out and bout it a few days after release. I excitedly started it up and... hated almost everything about it. The openness felt pretty limited, and the controls are downright atrocious, I hate the way combat works in that game even after spending hours trying to get used to it. A game often criticized as being bad, Two Worlds, is 100x the open world RPG Witcher 3 is. I hear Witcher 3 has a good story, and I don't doubt that, but I just can't get past it's atrocious gameplay. I have always been really sad it turned out as it did.

I'm in a situation not exactly like this, but somewhat similair with the The Legend of Zelda and Metroid franchises.
I have two Zelda games (A Link Between Worlds and Twilight Princess (and Four Swords Anniversary Edition, but that one doesn't count) and four Metroid games (Metroid II: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption). I did enjoy all of them while playing them, but all of these games failed to really grasp me. I only played Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption a couple of times, and the others I for whatever reason stopped going back to after playing them a few times.
I don't know why, I really want to love these games. I want to get involved in the series, especially the Metroid series. I love its settings, lore, characters, general astheatics, yet for some reason the games just fail to really grab me. Same with Zelda. I really want to like it, but I just don't have the drive to get into it. Maybe I have to play a little more of Twilight Princess to fall in love with it, but A Link Between Worlds failed to grab me. As for Metroid, who knows. On one hand I'd love to try and get back into it, but on the other hand I don't think I'll last that long before quitting again. It's a real shame, since I really want to love the Metroid series, but I just can't get into the games.

I've tried so many times to enjoy Kingdom Hearts but it just isn't working. It always seems like a series I'd like but when I actually play it I hate the gameplay, the writing makes me want to die, the Final Fantasy cameos are awfully done which makes my inner and outer fanboy see red and I didn't really grow up with Disney so the Disney stuff is a turnoff for me.
I quite liked the very start of Kingdom Hearts 2. Apart from that I just don't think it's gonna happen.
Also the Shin Megami Tensei games outside of Persona, although last time I tried to play Lucifer's Call I did actually find myself suddenly really enjoying it. I'd tried playing it twice before then and I found it really dull but then last time I suddenly found myself completely drawn in from the very start. Not sure what happened but I guess this means there's hope. I probably would've finished it by now but the game crashed after over an hour's progress without saving so I gave up on it. I'll probably try Digital Devil Saga again next.
-
FF VI :-[ Played it through twice, never was able to get into it.
EDIT: Also agree with you on MGS, bikingjahuty. Now that i've played 1-4, the only MGS game I like is 3.
-
Definitely Earthbound. I can't say I didn't like it, but it just wasn't the type for me to really get sucked into. I got to part where you start fighting bears in a cave add the first kid to your party, then I never picked it back up.
Mario 3D World. Always have high hopes for a new Mario game, but I just didn't really like it. Felt really half-baked to me.
Marker Man Adventures. In theory, sounded like a neat platforming game that would implement the DS stylus well, but no. It's not even playable, it's so glitch-ridden and it seems like an unfinished game.
Star Ocean (the PS2 one). Wanted to give the series a try, but after the first few hours of nothing much at all happening, and realizing it was the longest game in the world I decided it was not for me.
Psychonauts. I heard a lot of people saying this was a gem, but I found the art-style and characters of the game to be annoying, and for whatever reason didn't care much for the gloomy atmosphere of the game mixed with the muddy, rather ugly (for PS2) graphics.

I managed to beat Witcher 3 after 60 hours, but I absolutely agree about the controls and combat. I don't get why they are so overlooked, because it's terrible combat. I was able to put up with it for awhile and every so often I kept wondering why group fights were still garbage and basically most battles that weren't one on one with a big creature or badass boss were not fun or well handled. Basically by the 40 hour mark, I was just like "I gotta beat this game" and rushed as much as I could to the end. It's a shame because it is a rich world, good characters, good story, but man, it's not fun to play and I've avoided the expansions. Disappointing, because I want to play them, but I'm not likely to go back to Witcher 3 ever. Hopefully Cyberpunk 2077 is much better combat wise.
Recently for me, I found Xenoblade Chronicles X to be something I eventually abandoned. I still made it like 40 hours in (This is apparently peak tolerance level for me on some games lol) and got over half way, but it's not a very fun RPG. Battles are a mess of numbers and spamming attacks, which feels very MMO-like, but it lacks the co-op and focus of an MMO. You got all these classes you can level, but don't play super different really, and then you get the Skell and it just makes all that class grinding pointless, because there's no reason to ever not utilize the super awesome mech suit. The story and handling of the side-stories are all so dry and repetitive that only picks up like once a chapter when you get some badass CG cutscene, and then back to the same dry interactions. There's so much extra little stuff to do and it feels like they allow you a lot of control, but I would've like the scope of the game narrowed more. Too much not fun busywork.
Bigger series overall would be Resident Evil. I really don't like those old games before RE4, mostly due to the controls and fixed cameras. I remember beating RE3 somehow, but I dabbled in practically all of those games, but I hate those controls so much, plus the inventory system can get really tedious. There's survival and then there's just obnoxious. I don't even like the Remakes they recently released. I bought the double pack with Zero and RE1 and tried to play with the slightly updated controls they added, which are improved, but still so awful. I kinda wish the RE2 remaster they are doing, it would just be like an RE4/5/6 overhaul, but I know the purists would go nuts over that lol

Windwaker
I never wanted to play that game back when it came out, but the attention given to the HD remake reminded me of the game and I got my hopes up after hearing so many people praise it and the original. but i just didn't care for it.
-
I love Kingdom Hearts, but for the life of me I can't get into the first game at all. Love every other KH game, even consider KH2 one of my favorite games of all time, but I hate the first one. I have tried on numerous occasions to play it, and I just can't. It bores, and annoys me.
-
Dead Island. I was into the hype expecting basically a Borderlands style game with zombies, but it was just so meh. My apathy for the game was enough that I didn't even bother with the free digital copy when it went Games for Gold on Xbox live.
The Dark Souls series is another big one. It wasn't because of the difficulty but because of the controls themselves. The way the game responds to controller inputs just made it feel like I was trying to move underwater.

Windwaker

If Skyward Sword gets an HD release that tweaks Fi and allows for regular controls somehow, Wind Waker might be at the bottom of the list for me on 3D Zeldas. I played through it this year and I really find a lot of the game to be boring and tedious. I don't hate it and I beat it, but it was underwhelming I thought.
-
Skyrim, i just found it confusing, it was explained to me that if i liked Zelda i'd enjoy this game, i just got bored confused and quit playing it.

Zelda is a real bad comparison for someone to make. Zelda generally has an open world, but it's a much more structured open world, where there is much more focus to it than something like Skyrim has where you can just kinda go anywhere and do whatever you want.

Kingdom Hearts series
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Dead Rising series
Lost Planet series

Dragon's Crown.
On paper it was my perfect game, 2D beat em ups like streets of rage are some of my all time favourite games, and I love anything with light RPG mechanics (provided they're not so light they're irrelevant). Manga-style hotties? Check. Result.. headache.
It just didn't work on any level for me. The levels seemed small and mostly devoid of enemies until you reach the bosses (which bored me), sections like the magic carpet ride over the lava bored me witless, then it was all over and you had to trog through town again to repair your weapons and just to get back to the action. So little time was actually spent hitting baddies! Then there's the repetition in revisiting the limited number of levels to grind. Ugh!
A lot of people seem to think highly of the game, but to me it's so fundamentally badly designed it's unplayable. Wish it was different.
-
Anything ZELDA related. I just can't bring myself playing any of them, yet I have pretty decent Zelda collection. The games are not appealing at all to me. I should probably sell them and get better games, but I can't…go figure.
-
I'm having a tough time thinking about this one.
Dead Island I really wanted to like, same with Dying Light, but I just couldn't dig them.
I loved Borderlands, and Borderlands 2 was ok or slightly better, can't recall. I really couldn't get into Pre-sequel.
Ratchet and Clank, I really wanted to like this game, and I forced myself to play through the majority of the first game, but it felt like pulling teeth.
The Crew, I really like racing games, especially street racing games, and a game that lets you street race across the nation seamlessly sounds awesome. I just really couldn't stand this game, played it for about 5 minutes and then returned it to Gamestop.
And finally... most of Nintendo's new 2.5D side scrolling games. Yoshi Woolly World, New Super Mario Anything, etc. I just can't keep my attention on these games, they aren't bad, but I just can't get into them.
-
Final Fantasy X is the first one that comes to mind. A lot of people I know regard it as their favorite in the series. Like, they enjoy it more than both FFVI and FFVII. I just can't get into it. All of the characters (except Yuna and Lulu) are annoying as hell. The combat is basic. I can't stand the Sphere Grid system even though it looks like it would allow for a plethora of customization. Plus, the mini-games and side-quests are tedious. I have tried to restart this game over and over and always quit after a certain point. I would love to see the story unfold, but nearly everything about the game just aggravates me.
Another game is Dark Souls III. The first Dark Souls was perfection, so I figured with the acquisition of my new Xbone I could try Dark Souls III. After the initial events, I lacked the energy to go back to it and sold the copy. I'm sure I'll replay it, but not anytime soon.
One more that comes to mind is Killer 7. This is the perfect example of a good movie trapped in a bad game. The controls are just so awful, but I thought that I could get past them since the story, art style, and setting were so unique. Nope, I couldn't do it.

How did you feel about the upgrade system in FFXIII? I feel like it's essentially the same thing as in FFX but more restrictive.
EDIT: I mean character upgrades. The weapon upgrades are obviously more advanced in FFXIII

I actually really liked the Crystarium. I can definitely see where one would say it's the same as the Sphere Grid because you take the points earned from battle and use them to upgrade your characters HP, attack, magic, learn new spells, etc. The difference is that the Crystarium kind of doubles as job tree. Each job (Synergist, Saboteur, Commando, Ravager, Medic and Sentinel) have their own set of nodes to upgrade. For most of the quest, your characters are able to swap between these jobs which gives the battles much more variety. After you finish the game once, all characters have access to all jobs.
-
That's true. Though once you progress in FFX you get teleport spheres and key spheres so you can transfer to any other person's location in the sphere grid. So when you're done with Tidus's track you can transfer over to Yuna's track to learn white magic if you want. I think in FFX it's just not explicit about the different roles.
-
That's cool. I know that in the International Version, everyone starts in the same area so you can customize your characters the way you want. Of course, that also means that you could potentially mess up your characters.
-

Yeah, in FFX International you can choose the option to have no locks or restrictions on the grid so you can literally go wherever you want. At least in FFX you can move through the grid without adding stats you don't need. You move with AP/S. levels but actually activate an ability/stat with the spheres.
But in general the Japanese and European PS2 versions have a more open Sphere Grid than the NA version. The HD remasters are of the international releases though.
-
The Metroid Prime games come to mind. I love Super Metroid. I love the OG Metroid. The Prime games just aren't for me.
The new Legend of Zelda games (Link Between Worlds not included). I just can't play them. I love the first 4. I didn't like Majora's Mask. Wind Waker was amazing to me. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword just didn't do it for me. I think it was because I had to move the controller.

I have the Vita version of the HD Remaster. Do you recommend going with the more opened up Sphere Grid if I do go back and play it?

I've only played the PS2 version, but if you really enjoyed the upgrade system in FFXIII it might be better to stick to the Standard grid rather than the Expert.
I know you don't like FFX and you've tried multiple times, but if you do replay it again I'd love to hear what you think. I'm in the "love FFX" group and honestly think Tidus is the best protagonist in any of the FF games (voice acting issues aside). He's annoying and whiny on purpose so you can relate to his "fish out of water" character traits. Seeing him mature and become engrossed in the new world he is thrust into and forced to deal with over the course of the game; it's really really nice character development.

i fear this is going to happen to me, too, so i've not even started. i DREAD that this is going to be the case.
i'll ponder the topic tho. i can't think of any off the top other than assassin's creed... i like the concept, but the games are so dreadfully boring to me.
-
Star Wars Battlefront 2. Everyone praised it like it was the best thing ever but I thought it was so boring, plus it was hard to figure out what to even do lmao.
-
The Legend Of Zelda: there has been countless times in which I tried to get into this game but every time I do I just cannot get into it. I've come to the conclusion that this game isn't for me
-
GTA San Andreas. I loved the previous two, especially Vice City, but I've never been able to get into San Andreas, I just get bored and don't want to carry one.

I completely agree with you. I think it was the whole homie G gangsta theme that turned me off, but overall I didn't feel like the setting or story was nearly as good as the previous two. With all that said, I still found it to be enjoyable, but I've never been able to finish the game due to getting bored with it. I usually get to the part where you are in Vegas and then I lose interest.

"I'm in the "love FFX" group and honestly think Tidus is the best protagonist in any of the FF games"
I think we can be best friends.
I would say start with the standard grid then expert in other play-through.
XIII Grid system is very linear and isolated. Sure, you can switch "Jobs" in middle of the battle but in experience (Playing 90% through it) it doesn't have much fluidity. I'm constantly "CONSTANTLY" switching jobs and have stop what im doing in middle of battle.
-
Also the Shin Megami Tensei games outside of Persona, although last time I tried to play Lucifer's Call I did actually find myself suddenly really enjoying it. I'd tried playing it twice before then and I found it really dull but then last time I suddenly found myself completely drawn in from the very start. Not sure what happened but I guess this means there's hope. I probably would've finished it by now but the game crashed after over an hour's progress without saving so I gave up on it. I'll probably try Digital Devil Saga again next.
it might be because you understand the underlying mechanics better. jumping into an SMT game without any idea of wtf any of the attacks mean, and what shit like 'bufu' and whatever mean, it can make the game pretty dull. the SMT series kind of throws you in with zero explanation, which for some is fun, and for others feels like info overload. there's a fucking ton of memorisation required, especially in older games, that persona didn't make you do (persona gives you more details even during battle of what every attack does, basically). it was a similar experience for me... and i prefer SMT over persona now (that said, i plan to preorder p5 asap, i still like them, but i also have SMTIVA preordered right now)
-
During the Skyrim craze all my friends were playing and loving skyrim, they used to tell me it was the greatest game ever made. but it was never my cup of tea. I know it is probably a holy grail and an awesome game but I never really caught on to it or had the time to play it. I wasn't a fan of any of the Elder Scrolls games for that matter. I didn't really like it. It felt tiresome and almost a chore at times. :D.
Assassins Creed, I always found myself getting bored quick with all the AC games I played, aside from III. I loved III for some reason. Many people tell me III was their least favorite but for some reason i loved the plot. But 1, Revelations, Black Flag and Brotherhood were all played out to me and I never really loved them. I could always take them or leave them. My friend used to sleep over and he was a die hard AC fan. i tried to love the series and get all the trophies but i never could play more than 4 hours without putting bioshock in lol.
Gears of war- Being an xbox fanboy, i always try to push myself to love gears of war. but imo the controls are clunky, the plot is meh and i much prefer Mass Effect or ever Army of two over gears. Imo it is a really overated 3rd person shooter. Was never sold on the series.
My tastes are pretty weird sometimes, these 3 games are critically acclaimed so i am probably wrong about them. but those are 3 i gave fair changes to and was underwhelmed with. :)

That's why I liked it so much and the point of having multiple Paradigms. I love switching Paradigms in the middle of battle, especially when a couple of the party members are floating in the air and demolishing a Staggered enemy.

Yeah maybe, the first couple of times I tried to play SMT3 I got the absolute crap kicked out of me. Then last time I played I was making pretty decent progress. Although I had already finished P3 (and I think P4) and played some of DDS before playing SMT3 so I'm not sure why.
Though if I remember right the first couple of times I played I did run from a fair few encounters whereas in my last one I made it a rule to kill every enemy I encountered, so that might be why. Leveling and all that jazz.
I think the main reason was me moving my older consoles from my flatscreen to a CRT, older games look bloody awful on my main TV. Plus I lie in my bed while using my flatscreen and it's kinda far away whereas for my CRT I have to sit on the floor right in front of it. It's a very different experience.
I think I'll always prefer Persona because they're just the kind of games I love but I'm still trying to get properly into the main series too.

When I first heard about this game, reading about it in Game Informer way back when, being a fan of 3 and VC, I was appalled that you weren't some psychopath white guy, which is a totally weird thought. The game is very ingrained with that gangsta gangsta vibe, but CJ has way more character than Claude or Tommy. Shit, I think CJ was a better character than Niko and any of the V guys.
But yeah, there is no way around that OG gangsta stuff.

Yeah that was probably the main reason for me too, and just the overall 90s theme in general. I find it so uninteresting compared to the 80s era which I absolutely love.

Baroque
Not rewarding enough unlike other rogue like games.
Nice story and atmosphere but pretty unfair on harder difficulties since avoiding enemies is pretty much not possible and the weird system of transferring items before leaving really kills it for me. Later on with stronger weapons sure but I'd rather do something else.
Still though if you want a game replicating hell I'd say this is a great game since you can't even relax in the main town since your health is always decreasing didnt mind the totally no instructions though and ofcourse the pretty **** up world. Interesting game just not for me, the coffin man was your best man though.
On a side note if you used that healing plate in town 3 times your pretty much *****. It's pretty funny that there actually is a time limit for exploring a safe zone and being killed for it.

Agreed. I'm very patient while playing Final Fantasy games, but FFXII tested that patience.
I was ultra hyped for FF XII as X is one of my favorite games of all time, and sadly XI went the MMO route. Bought it the week it came out, played it for a few hours and was just totally bored and uninterested. Funny enough, I hear so many people heavily praising this game which makes me want to try it out again, but I'm worried that I'll end up quiting it pretty early on again.

Bought it the week it came out, played it for a few hours and was just totally bored and uninterested. Funny enough, I hear so many people heavily praising this game which makes me want to try it out again, but I'm worried that I'll end up quiting it pretty early on again.
There are so many good Final Fantasy games to replay or jRPGs to try that I can't ever convince myself to play FF XII again.

I got through the first couple of hours before I stopped. It was just so damn boring.
