As much as I love games and gaming, some games I really don't like. I am specifically talking about games everyone seems to love. I am curious whether I am just a single asshole or if there are more people out there who recognize this...

If so, which games do you hate?

It can be a storyline; the names of characters; voice acting; the graphics or generally, the feeling the gamer is not taken seriously. Anything goes.

Two of my hated games (owned): The Witcher series and Divinity: original sin.

The Witcher for its neo-gothic, semi-fascistoid, middle european saga and its related terrible name giving (Geralt of Rivia!?!?!?), and, its uncertainty in how its controls should work.

Divinity for its ridiculous voice acting (*Bye-ji!*) every single time you make the mistake to talk to someone, and its lousy, lame storyline, and in general the psychological state of the NPC's who mostly behave like infants.

Both games seem to be untouchable; I probably rub a few hairs posting. I apologize.

Anybody?
I'm with you, I hate The Witcher too. Bad writing, bad quests, bad characters (including the main), extreme chauvinism that is outright disgusting, super-hyped lameness! I could be more articulate about I suppose, but I've got other things to do!

Oooo, and Minecraft!

I hate Diablo 2 and think Diablo original is one of the most over-rated games ever probably even though I had some fun with it, I ultimately deemed it mindless/pointless/weak and, yes, hateable because it was such a waste of time. I should have been playing Asheron's Call or a dozen other SP games instead of wasting time in the Diablows games.

Which reminds me, I hate World of Warcraft too.

I don't have Divinity: OS but a friend of mine played it for about 20-25 hours until he got bored and never finished it. He also said that the story is lame so you're not alone with your opinion. :D

So it's probably not as great as most reviews say.
Ah, that's easy, dark souls - fecking awful, gta 4 - drm hell, crap reskin. Take your pick.
Ah, hating on The Witcher. Go on, go on. Your impotent foolishness tastes phenomenally well with a little oregano.
Hate seems to require a certain degree of passion.
I dislike a few games for certain aspects, like TWD for lying to me, Far Cry 3 for treating me like an imbecile, Fallout 3 for its essential characters and attempt to make me care about Liam Neeson, Tomb Raider 2013 for being called Tomb Raider.

I figure that a lot of people who don't like things just keep quiet about it for some reason.
I really hate Colonial Marines. It is shit. Utter shit. I couldn't deal with the first few minutes of combat although (the opening was good, i'll give it that) because none of the AI characters would help me AT ALL. They couldn't kill ANY Xenos whatsoever, leaving me to have to deal with ALL of them. Hell, one of the Xenos even froze in a falling position towards the floor. Boring shooting, boring combat in general, and just boring period. So appalled at Gearbox for this... whatever the hell it is.

You want to talk about untouchable games? How about this, my two most hated games are Baldurs Gate and Diablo. The only time I find people who even remotely agree with me it's because they like part 2 better.

Ok I see...in that case, I know some other ones:

Arcanum: All RPGs are very racist because race is a construct and not scientific. There are no races! In Arcanum, I can only say dumb stuff if I play as an ogre. That's racist and therefor fascistoid.

Papers, Please: A deeply fascistoid game. No person is illegal! But in this game I have to turn away some people or else the game punishes me. How dare they not take everyone and their grandma in.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: Of all the fascistoid games, this one must be the most fascistoid. At one point in the game, you get a chance to smack Adolf Hitler in the face. But if you do that, the guards kill you. So the game punishes you for doing the most anti-fascistoid thing possible short of making fun about Rush Limbaugh and Fox News on the internet

That's a good game to get mad and yell at because you can just call it by name and yell:

"COSSACKS!!!!!" and it sounds like you're swearing which effectively has you cursing the game in the game's name

I let almost all most people in who seemed OK to me even if they didn't have a VALID passport (in fact, it seemed a lot of them were fleeing from even worse situations than Arstotzka's and their government wasn't even issuing passports because they were oppressed and enslaved and whatever else, and so I was helping them by letting them in) yet was still able to complete the game with a positive ending, which was essentially helping to overthrow the "fascistoid" government and let a new day dawn for Arstotzka that was theoretically better.

Don't forget the "terrible name giving" (Indiana Jones!?!?!?)!

I installed this game for the first time earlier today and tried to let everyone in just to see what happens. I didn't get paid, kids got sick etc and I had no money for food and heating and this one guy started chucking around non-theoretical hand grenades after I let him in.

Yes, Indiana Jane is much better:

Five Nights at Freddy's.

The game is so OVERHYPED you'd buy into it. Then you watch a YouTube vid of it and realize that you already played the game. Why buy the game when you can watch it for free, and then feel like you actually played the game in question? The game itself is so incredibly lame. What, I'm tapping or pressing buttons on the screen, then I monitor the area I tapped, and I'm supposed to avoid being caught by... robot dolls? Okay.
