FF X-2. My favorite games are rpgs and sports games, but FF X-2 just looked stupid. I finally gave it a shot when it was given to me for free this year and couldn't stand it for 20 minutes.
Also, first-person shooters. They just don't appeal to me.

Nah, you guys just suck at Trauma Center. I had no problem in ANY Trauma Center game except for the bonus timed missions on Second Opinion, only because you have to do the same procedures as in the main game, just with like 1/3 of the available time.

Zelda II Adventure of Link.
It's a sucky Zelda game...oh wait, no it's different. I have to look at it like a sidescroller.
...then it's a sucky sidescroller game.

Pretty much sports sims in general. If I want to play a super-realistic sports game, I might as well go out outside and play the real thing.
On that note, Tony Hawk > any other skateboarding games.

That's the same reason I despise any Guitar Hero/Rock Band game. The main difference with uber-simulations is: unless you're REALLY talented, you can't go outside and shoot 3-pointers with a 0.900 accuracy, or throw 70 yards TD passes at the Superbowl, or drive a F1 car. But with the same amount of practice you need to play "Ace of Spades" at Expert difficulty level , you could probably learn enough stuff on a REAL guitar to play a couple of easy songs. Of course you'll never make it past the Garage Band playing for 50$ and free beer, but IMO it's more rewarding than beating a videogame... Even as a huge sports/racing simulations, I'm much more happy when I score a goal playing with my friends than when I win the Golden Boot in PES2009...

Would have thought that it averaged around the 8.0 mark. Anyways, my one is the Gran Turismo series. I'm seriously just not feeling it with these games, I'm just not finding it anywhere as good as what they are said to be.

Oblivion, and while I didn't hate it, GTA IV was quite weak, or at least just not very fun. Saint's Row 2 was a FAR superior game.
Also, Bioshock was too scary for me to play. S*** myself within 5 minutes.

Other than what I said earlier about Mario Sunshine, I find it much more easier to find a game critics hated but I loved.

Raiden in MGS2? Horrible Raiden in MGS4? MOTHERsnorkING BADASS!!!! Here's how I see it... Raiden in MGS2? Meh, he was alright. Raiden in MGS4: Horrible, lame, ridiculous, easily the worst thing about MGS4 for me. To me it came across as Kojima desperately trying to shut up all those teenage Metal Gear fanboys who saw Raiden in MGS2 and screamed "OMG ROFL GIRLYMAN HE SUCKS LOL" by turning Raiden into what is probably the most forced "badass" character I have seen in recent times.

See, I don't see that. He was just plain badass. The f***ed up thing is in MGS2 we were forced to play as whiny Raiden, but then when Kojima made him awesome and everyone wanted to play as him, nope, we don't really get to.

Tomb Raider. Oh whoopee snorkin' doo pixelated boobies. Call me when you finally grow up and get to touch the real thing and not your own fat hairy manboobs you fat sack of crap. Because of course, the ONLY reason why people like the Tomb Raider games is because of Lara's boobs. Now THAT is a mature reasoning, just like the way you insult the fans of the series despite not knowing them.

I'm shocked to see some games on some lists (Fallout 3 is 1,000 different types of awesome), but then again I guess every game isn't liked by everyone.
I personally wasn't a big fan of Goldeneye for the 64 (aiming was impossible for me), but I can see why it was regarded as a great game by many people.

I don't really "hate" it (in fact, I can't really think of a game I absolutely hate that is considered a classic by other people or critics) but I don't see what it has that makes it so special. I'm having a lot more fun with older FPSs like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D.

I'm having a lot more fun with older FPSs like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. Well, at the time, it provided stuff that a lot of FPS just didn't have. It had very specific mission objectives, and a lot more for you to do than just "shoot the snork out of all these people." And the multiplayer was just awesome, mostly due to the extremely well-designed levels.

The guy was blatantly bullied and tormented at an earlier age by a Tomb Raider fan, or at least that's what it seems like...

I don't see what it has that makes it so special. Well, let's see what made GoldenEye special... first of all it was the most realistic FPS game of its time, with a believable, immersive and quite interactive/destructible setting, realistic weapons and human enemies. Remember, back in 1997 (the year GoldenEye for the N64 came out, Half-Life was still a year away) your usual FPS was a clone of Doom or Quake where your gruff space marine was going round blasting plasma rockets at generic hard-to-kill mutants in dark brown corridors, GoldenEye was different from all that. Also, it had actual mission objectives beyond "collect three card keys and find the exit", adding some purpose to the gameplay. What else? Oh yeah, multiplayer. Sure, that wasn't anything new if you consider that Quake had already been played online for a while by that point, but for a console FPS a four-player mode that worked so well was something special back in 1997.

It hasn't stood the test of time well though. Many people still deem it as the best FPS ever when I am inclined to disagree, as "most revolutionary" is not always equal to "the best".
