Worst time spent in a game.

Diablo 2 - I hated that game. Honestly I cannot understand all the love and hype for an endless, mindless hack and slash. Booooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnggggg!
 
1. DA2 I played at a friends for a few hours and am happy i didnt pay for that garbage, want my few hours back.

2. Civ V I payed 12.50 for it and want my money back, Civ 4 is better in every single aspect except graphics.

3. Bioshock I wanted to like this game so much with the water physics and just the original enviorment and enemies but i couldnt get into it to save my life, even bought the Ps3 version too because i thought it might be better in a more casual console version but no luck.

4. Metro 2033 To many clipping/AI glitches, just not polished enough it should never have released in the state it did.

5. The witcher. Worst RPG of the last 10 years, so slow its painful.
 
Bioshock - hated the pacing, lack of ammo, and enemies respawning in cleared portions of the map.

Arma 2 - proved to me that realism != fun
 
Bioshock - i got to "the end" and got real pissed when it wasn't the end.

Dragon Age - chained AOE stuns on my entire party, killing them? beating this game was like pulling goddamn teeth without novacane. not getting party members in the right order hoses you, too.
 
Anyone remember Xenosaga on the PS2? I forced myself to play it just because I'm a huge fan of Xenogears (they are kinda related). God damn what a waste of time, and it was so brutally difficult.
 
FF8. MoO3 was terrible, but I didn't sink too much time into it. FF8 was the first terrible FF game I played so it took me longer to realize how unfun it was. Granted, MoO3 was the first terrible MoO game, but it was more or less immediately apparent.
 
Mass Effect - driving the stupid land rover thing. The rest of the game was great, but the land rover was horrible.
 
I used to try to play through all of my games, to get the entire experience. I bought Hellgate London on sale, and played it everyday for a week or so. It was so horrible that it felt like I was doing a job that I wasn't getting paid for. Eventually I realized that not only was I not having fun, that it was painful to play that game so I stopped. I haven't gone back.

While I enjoyed the game, I never understood the universal praise for it. It was barely different than Diablo 1, and I had played that enough that it was played out by the time the sequel came out. I was hoping for more innovations in the second game, not just more of the same.
 
Think anyone playing the BF3 beta is gonna have to agree but the first part of the Metro map is pretty bad.

Everyone prune in the freaking bush's not for cover but honestly just there to camp...

Pulling some of the worst death streaks on my ratio ever in a fps and mind you i'm pretty good in BC2 and heck i can play better with the camping infestation in Black Ops which is a rare occasion cause i hate that game online.

My overall ratio in BC2 is about 1.06 not bad but lately its been improved to a game average of about 3.0 or so but in BF3 forget it all the BF2 vets there can make any BC2 vet go back to school with me pulling 1/9 in half the maps and 7 of those 9 kills done by some bush whacker,the worst time ever period .
 
Aion mmo, worst mmo made. The dev team did not take cheating/bots seriously, even to go as far to say they have the bots under control, even when someone posted a link and video showing a guild of 400+ bots in it only. lol

FF8 was my favorite D:

FF13 was definitely the worst. One giant tutorial, horrible game design. Just not fun.

The new Deus Ex didn't last long for me. As soon as they guy told me I was infiltrating a building by myself with just 5 bullets, I thought it was stupid.
 
There's this game I sometimes play. Basically the object is to create successive cascades of reciprocative ideas & concepts, which is then rewarded. I progress very very slowly. Concept is good, but playing it just... confuses you. I look online for cheats, but using them in the game does the exact opposite of what you want. I suspect the game detects the cheats, or maybe the cheats don't work. Unlocked a mediocre achievement once, a topical application of hueless liquids. I suck at that game.
 
Eve Online is my worst time.

Only becuase i had no one to assist me... nor did i understand anything in the game mechanics.

i remember clicking random buttons.. accidentally shooting a friendly ship and getting blown up... and repeating that cycle quite a few times b4 i threw in the towel...

Final Fantasy 13. Wanted to like it. Spent the first 8 chapters bored out of my mind, and wanting to strangle most of the characters. Heard it got better after Gran Pulse, got past it, played a bit more, than realized I was completely miserable while playing, and just quit.

It was definitely the worst time i've ever had playing a game. Usually if I know a game sucks, I won't play at all, but i wanted to play this game so much, I spent hours being absolutely miserable and got back absolutely nothing from it.

that was my with FF12. (that's the last PS2 one, right?)

Basically a grind throughout, as I felt that absolutely nothing about it was fun--but I was still in the "will try everything FF" phase, so I trudged through for some 50 hours.

Never finished, don't care to--not even sure if I still have it. The main issue for me was the complete failure of the battle system, and the continued reinforcement that I am expected to give a fucking shit about some angsty team emo loser. fuck that.
