Are there any games you CANT play?

[Hero-of-Time]

Im not on about games which are too hard but games that are rated very highly but for some reason that you cant fathom you have trouble playing.

I came accross this situation with Metroid Prime. It took me ages to pick it up and play it but when I did I stormed through it.

Next is Mario and Luigi. I have owned this games twice now and both times I can hardly get past the 2nd world for reasons that i cant explain.

Lastly is Metroid Prime 2. I have had this sitting here for well over 6 months and I still cant manage to pick it up and start it.

Has anyone else been through this with any games?

[Ollie]

I know exactly what you mean. Super Mario Sunshine, I have owned it on about 3 different occassions and never have I played more than about the first couple of levels. Just cant get into it, as much as I would love to!

[masaki86]

Harvest Moon:AWL

I love harvest moon; I love the gamecube; I can't abide this. I have bought and sold it three times. Played it for about 5 hours in total. I can't play it.

[Pit-Jr]

I dropped Final Fantasy X like a bad habit after the first game of blitzball.

[1upking]

I urge you to get into it, It's a great game (although I also owned it 3 times, but I'm glad I finally completed it)


On subject, one game I can not get into is Metroid, be it Prime, Prime 2 or even the older games, I just can't get into them

[MunKy]

Prime 2. I got it played for a while then stopped cuz I couldnt be arsed to go on. I tried to get back into it but couldnt. May try again someday possibly near Prime 3 release.

[That Guy]

Pikmin 2. It's been in my collection nearly a year and I've barely played it yet. But I really like it. I hope to get into it once I've got a lot of games out of the way. But before Zelda comes hopefully.

[That Guy]

Oh, and Metroid Prime. Just never played so I sold it, and recently got it now i'm loving it. Wouldn't say I'm exactly storming through it though (3 hours play in a month, no time to play games).

[Nevahom]

Anything final fantasy, cant abide it. probably coz i had a friend that treated it like a fundamentalist does religion and he wuldnt stfu

[Hero-of-Time]

Seems a pattern is forming with the Metroid titles.

[stev2604]

Im the exact same with Metroid Prime, I just cant get into it! :wtf:

[Fields]

I've never really been able to get into any of the Resident Evil games, other than 4. The controls make them unplayable.

[Supergrunch]

I am absolutely crap at all traditional first person shooters (not including metroid). Especially Halo/Halo 2.

[Josh64]

Ive had resi evil for sges and just cant get into it, its so boring with the amount of ammo but im sure resi evil 4 is good

[Marshmellow]

i have so many of those games lol out of about 20 games i play maybe 2 or 3 Resident Evil 4, SSBM, and SSX3 lol i try playing other games but for like Harvest moon AWL i play for like 6 hrs (game time) and ill get bored and do something else.

[Konfucius]

I bought REmake and never got into it. Only liked RE4 and also bought PN03 but it's not my type of game.

[Ashley]

The level of TimeSplitters 2 in the church, with the spiralling staircase. I feel so sick.

And Half Life 2, if I play too much of that I get motion sickness. Cursed thing!

[Sooj]

TLOZ: OoT. Yeah I know, its meant to be amazing bla bla bla but with OoT disc I got with WW was a bit more difficult and boring than Wind Waker which was bright, exciting, fresh.

Oh and be gentle with me :p

[Kurtle Squad]

Prime is great once you get into it.. RIDLEY ROX!!! But I did go off it once for a while, I'm off Echoes atm cos the Spider Ball boss is irritating.
I'm also put off Resi/0 because they are complicated or i keep dying/losing too much life/etc etc. PN03 is also one due to its lack of interestingness and DK: Jungle Beat is hard now, same with Billy Hatcher:S

One reason I don't get through them is because I'm distracted by other games or just don't feel like playing them or I want to play them but wont have the time to get into them properly (too late, soon college, friends round etc)

[Helmsly]

The Tony hawks games: A friend always buys the new one every year and I always attempt to have a go, and…and I can see it’s a good game, I can appreciate how it can be fun and everything but I can’t play it for the life of me.


Another game is Golden sun for the GBA. I’ve started twice over and both times, although when I first start I end up playing for a few hours, I never feel bothered to go back…even though everyone says its great and everything.

Also: Metroid prime: marmite of gaming?

[kellett03]

animal crossing on gamecube played about 30 minutes of it. what the is going on, just so boring. i know what the concept is and what to do but just cant get my mind around it.

wave race: blue storm is another of mine, had it just as long as animal crossing and only played it once. i like the 64 version but this just seems different.

[Darv]

Metal Arms gives me terrible motion sickness. I managed to play the first level and haven't played it since.

I couldn't get into Metroid the first time I played it, but when I did get into it I loved it. I still need to finish that at some point. I'm up to the final boss.

[Platty]

R:racing. Just cant play it cos it's totally crap, the cars seem to go so slow i feel like jumping in the TV and pushing them along. I've played that game like twice, hate it.

the only other one is Ghost Recon, i just cant be arsed with it, tried playing it a few time and just get annoyed and bored.

[Jordan]

Metroid Echoes (I refuse to call it Prime 2: Echoes), it just plain sucked compared to the original. I could never get into it, and i've tried to many times.

[Minlack]

Metroid Prime was amazing. Takes a bit to get in to, and you really have to sit down and play it for a decent amount of time to enjoy it. However for me, I just got Skies of Arcadia Legends and I just can't seem to play it. I know it's good but having just come from ToS, the combat system just feels reeeealy slow. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4. Played it for quite a bit, but never managed to finish it, the harder bit just destroy your soul. Harvest Moon, as well. It's fun...but my god I feel as though I'm wasting my life when playing it. Advance Wars DS..awesome...but....too...hard...besides I need to play Mario Kart DS online (all the time).

I know exactly what you mean! I'm not sure what it was, but I really didn't like it, whereas I loved Wind Waker.

[MunKy]

OoT is a great game buy addmittedly hard to get into. I remember in the 64 days I got stuck in Jabu Jabus belly and didnt go back for 3 months. Also That Guy, is your name a Futurama reference?

[Dan Dare]

any fps game/ 3d action game that dosent have config controls. im a lefty and ubi soft are WANKERS because i cant play splinter cell. WANKERS!

Back in the day Goldeneye and PD etc was perfect for us lefties. Always with the analogue stick :).

Nope I used it on a Spurs forum when I joined about 2 years ago and just used it here because I'm too lazy to think of other things.

[Liquid_Vegeta]

I loved Metroid Prime, I want to love Metroid Prime 2, but I cant commit to it, I hate myself for this :(

[Hero-of-Time]

Ok so theres another 1 for Metroid. Can anyone explain why they cant get into the Metroid games? I mean I do eventually but I have to have alot of spare time.

Personally I think its because they are such big games that require you to go back and forth that you have to play them in 1 go unless you cant remember where you are or what you are doing. Basically it doesnt have that pick up and play element.

[Supergrunch]

How far are you into it? It's worth bearing in mind that it gets better exponentially.

[That Guy]

Paper Mario TYD. I've just sat and played the opening and nearly fell asleep. I'm not the biggest fan of RPGs but when I started playing this, all I could think of was switching it off. What the hells up with me?

I had the same feeling at the beginning but after I got to the door I suddenly got addicted.

[Mizuti]

The only game(s) that i never could or most likely will be able to play is the Resident Evel series... everytime i get a hold of a Resi game, my friend comes over to play it while i watch. There is a reason for this though, the controller is... it's just really really bad, can't put myself together to learn it either...
Only Resi game's. (WoW too, worst game i have ever played)

[Atomic Boo]

omg prime was the best game in the world. so deep and full of stuff
unbelievable

[Stefkov]

i played on metroid, then didnt play for a while, went back and i loved it. plaeyed for ages, then the GC decided that there was an error in the reading of dis or something on the lines of that, the game isprobably fine, but i realised i hadnt saved it i just cant play it again, im gonna pick it up again around christmas to get my self playing games again.
also i cant do the finding the triforce pieces in the wind waker. i just cant get round to doing it.
Mario sunshine aswell, theres just one level that i cant do so i wont do it.
and Harvest moon, i absolutely love this game, but i cant get back into the flow of playing it now. i remember hearing the news that you die at the end, i got sad and didnt play it.
theyre the only action type games ive got. can anyone recomend me a good action adventure game that will last me ages, for under or up to £25. or should i save it and get the twilight princess?

[faz99]

The amount of time i have stared to play a Resident Evil game and not even got that far into it all is unreal.
Especially the remake of the original, i still havent got past the mansion. I just dont go back and play it.
On zero i have got past the train and am in the mansion(y) place, but that was last week or before it and i havent gone back to it since.
On 4 i got past the village and to the first dude that you buy stuff off, haven't played it since.
Meh.

My best mate gets motion sickness from it!!!...That and Halo :wtf:

[Hero-of-Time]

The poor sod hes missing out on 2 great games there.

[Josh64]

I cant get into prince of persia: warrior within.

[CooInTheZoo]

I cant play Resident Evil. Not any of them!

I turn it on and i shit all over the walls, its true.

[AshMat]

Metroid prime, cant get into it, jsut cant pick it up

[Maxi678]

I couldn;t really get into Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and PoP Warrior Within. I managed to get into Prime 2 after a while, it is a very good game, but not as good as the original Prime though. Still tryin to get into PoP Warrior Within, but still no luck

[Hellfire]

ICO. Damn it, it bores me. That's about it, I think.

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

I loved Prime 1.
But I thought 2 was a crock of shite.

[Dawn]

Too scared to play REmake.

Can't get into Price of Persia 2.

[ThePigMarcher]

Add another one to the Metroid Prime can't complete list. I can't explain it but I love the games when playing them , but , I never seem to play them for long enough to actually get through them. Prime is still only around 40% completed , and as for Echoes , it is so long since I booted it , I have no idea where I have got to.

Another one for me is Beyond Good and Evil. That has been sitting in my collection for ages and for some reason I have hardly touched it. I did pick it up last night though (had some spare time to kill between completing Fire Emblem and the arrival of Battalion Wars) and forgot what a good game it is. Sadly though Battalion Wars arrived today so BG&E looks like taking a back seat again.

Ive definately had trouble playin metroid prime, both 1 and 2, i play it for a bit then lose interest but as soon as i pick it up again, i play i to the end....none stop, weird that :S

[MasterYoda]

I can't get into TLOZ: Wind Waker.Damn it,everyone say it's an excelent game but i get stuck too often.At this part i've been stuck for weeks...

I just found out Tetra is Zelda and that i need to enter the two temples.They are marked and i go to them but i can't enter either.What am i supposed to do,am i too stupid for this game or what?It doesn't say how to enter the dungeons/tamples...

[mario image T]

i'm guessing that the reason it was a spoiler for you was because you didn't play OOT. (i never get sick of it, or metroid...perfect dark however....it frustrates me)
to get into the temples (sorry i don't know how to use that invisible text thing)
you need to go to the volcano and ice island things. you'll see them if you sail around. i think the volcano island is south-ish from dragonroost island. the items you get in them let you into the marked temples. and to get into the ice/volcano things you need a particular warp song...

there should have been more temples and less sailing.
still, i don't get sick of ww either. probablycause i'm a zelda fan (or a link fan ;) )

[mario114]

Metroid prime, it's an amazing game but i never get around to playing it, not sure why either.
