I'm going the oppsite side of RickR's topic. What game do you hate that everyone you know loves?

[greenween]

I absolutely hate COD, Modern Warfare. I watched all my friends who play it religiously, I bought it. Most boring thing I've ever played!! I've played every Metal Gear since NES, every Medal of Honor, Syphon Filter. 007 on N64, this game just bores me to death!!! I will explain more of my dislike for this game later.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

[Atari Today]

Madden. picked up a copy a handful of years back to see what all the fuss was about. hated it.  Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES was way more fun in my opinion.

[RickR]

Brawl is great if you play with friends who have the same skill level as you. Otherwise, it does stink!

[greenween]

Roaming around shooting people, while randomly getting sniped from no where. You die, you respawn. over and over. Sorry if you love it, many do, it bores me out of my mind!!!

That game was awesome. I was never a fan of madden games either.

[RickR]

Madden just never does the running game right.  Tecmo Bowl does.  Bo Jackson baby!

OK, I'm going to say something sacrilegious here:  Pitfall!

I totally get the technical superiority of this game.  Great graphics, innovative gameplay, a showcase of 2600 technology.  Heck, I grabbed a copy just like every other kid back in the 80's.  It's also cool as hell that the 2600 has the best version of all the systems they made this for. 

But is it fun?  No.  It just has zero re-playability for me.  Same running and jumping for 20 minutes.  And what is the point of going on the bottom level?  Is it even possible to jump over the scorpion?  I know, I know, it lets you skip more screens to get more loot.  Zzzzzzz. 

[greenween]

I've always heard there was a pattern to actually beat Pitfall, anyone else??

[greenween]

So, after a quick google search, there are 32 treasures to find before your time runs out to beat the game. I never new!

i second this. I never was a fan of this game.

I do love Pitfall, I understand the dislike, but it was one of the first games I ever played, so I have great memories. 

[dragonwar69]

I always hated Missile Command. 

[greenween]

I can respect that! I do love it on the 5200 with the Trak-Ball!

[greenween]

Never liked the arcade version, but loved the home versions!

[Arenafoot]

Swordquest Fireworld (my first Atari cart - I thought it was another version of Adventure.....LOL) 

Fishing Derby  (can not beat the computer even on the easiest setting)

Space Shuttle (my last Atari cart I bought "back-in-the-day" new....manual way too big and never even tried to figure how to play)

I'm with all you Madden haters. I loved it on Genesis but I feel it lost something when it got to later systems.  Tecmo, on the other hand, is outstanding.

Tecmo was amazing. It's one of many games from other platforms that I wish had made it to Atari.

I still play Madden '95 on My Sega, the later ones, not so much.

Joe Montana Football was pretty underrated on Master System. Maybe because almost everything was underrated on Master System. Just my 2c.

Yeah I heard that too......plus I was always going to the right.....found out a few years back that you should start going to the left instead.

[greenween]

I'm gonna give it a shot soon!

[RadioPoultry]

I never really understood what the big deal was about Half-Life 2 (though I never finished it). Also, I could never get into Kaboom!. It's just beyond my skill level.

Not games, but this reminded me of this post.
