A few people have said they hated Zelda 2. Which doesn't make sense to me. I mean, by today's standards it's a crappy game. However, back then, it was only 1 of 2 games. So there was no standard style for Legend of Zelda.

They were trying a different style for the gameplay because side scrolling beat em ups were "the thing" at that point. (Faxanadu, Battle for Olympus.. etc)

As far as my five.

5: Dead Island
I don't know where the hype for this game came from. I could understand wanting to try something new, but unlike Zelda 2 in it's prime, there has been a standard for Zombie games. Creators of Dead Island completely deviated from the standard to bring you a action-rpg-morrowind style Zombie killer... and it was balls. Please get your rpg out of my zombie killing.

4:T&C Surf - NES
For serious - I used to have this game as a wee lad and I could not figure out how to fucking surf. As a matter of fact, I went down the street from my office in Middletown Delaware to a little mom-n-pop video game store, and they had TnC Surf. So I picked it up thinking, "Oh, well maybe I just didn't understand how to play it as a child" FUCK NO! This game is stupid hard to comprehend.

3: Resident Evil 4
I hate babysitting games or missions. I hate that I can't move and shoot. I hate the vendor guy. "Whuuddya buyin?" "I'm buyin your mom for the night"

2: The Last of Us
I'm actually playing through this now. The story and graphics aside, this game is shitty when it comes to mechanics. For example, why can't I fight off the clicker things when they attack me? And yet, in a couple cut scenes, Joel does it with no problem. Secondly, the AI is horrible. Whenever you have people following and they say "be quiet!" but then go fucking sprinting down the hall way. Honestly, I played The Last of Us pretty late, and there was a lot of hype built up about how great and polished it was - but when you come to the foundation of it all, the game is shit. Also, if you're trying to make a realistic survival horror, I don't think that health bars should play any role. When I shoot a human (not a zombie) with a revolver in the fucking chest, they should go down - not say "OW DAMN!" and keep shooting.

1: Since people have, already said WoW and FF13 I have to pick something different so I will go with Mass Effect.

This is another of those highly hyped games, but it was shit. I'm a huge fan of bioware, but imo, they fucked up big with this game. It feels so empty and pointless. The way you choose which planet you fly to and survey, it just feels like a glorified stage selection screen. They give you the option to "make choices" but sometimes the dialogue is forced on side quests, which is bullshit. I could understand if it was part of the main mission, but side quests? come on. Also, the whole thing with having to discover different transmission and crash sites on planets is dumb. As far as I know, there is no incentive to do it besides getting an achievement. (Although, I'm sure at the end there is some mega prize which I'm not willing to care about)

I played mass effect for a good while, but I just became extremely disinterested very quickly into my play sessions.

Honorable Mention: L.A Noir.

Oh I can figure out if they are lying by looking at their face? Fuck no I can't.
