My thoughts on your posting
Let me make a warning, right now. Please, try to avoid flaming and insulting people for their opinions in this topic, even if you don't agree with them. This is supposed to be a safe place for people to share their opinions, so if you have a problem with how somebody feels about your favorite game, keep it to yourself.
Also, be sure to explain your reasons for not liking a game.
Pokemon: OK, I've got to say I've never understood the love for Pokemon. To be fair, I only played Red, Blue and Stadium when I was about 8, but from what I hear, basically all they do every game is just add in a bunch of silly new gimmicks without putting much effort into upgrading the graphics. You're just buying the same game over and over again... twice. Oh yeah, the Pokemon designs get a lot stupider as time goes on. Tons of people can a good bit of the original 151, but who ever bother remembering the other 350?
Marvel Vs Capcom 2: I seriously don't understand how people like this game. First off, the gameplay is complete garbage. The 3v3 system just makes the fights take way too long, and while people give Smash Brothers crap for not being perfectly balanced, these so called "professionals" ignore the fact that there's only about 5 characters in this game worth playing. The fact that every character since the original X-Men fighting game is in it, because they never bothered updating the characters from their original games at all. It feels like a slapped-together MUGEN hack with a few good new characters. The music is horrible, and don't tell me about 'Gonna Take You For A Ride'. That was the worst one. I can only hope they learned from their mistakes for MvC3, but since everyone but me has a boner for this game, I doubt it.
Sonic Adventure: I honestly have to wonder what makes this game so great compared to the other 3D Sonic games, because I think it's just nostalgia. It still has all the same flaws: Stupid cutscenes, characters that nobody wants to play, and a ton of glitches. Sure, maybe the Sonic levels are a little better than they are now, but what exactly makes this game so flawless compared to, say, Unleashed? I guess I don't HATE this one, I just think it's seriously overrated.
Mario Kart. All of them.: Honestly, I thought these were seriously overrated, too. The fact that the AI blatantly cheats just removes all desire to play the single-player mode, which to be fair, nobody ever plays anyway. On the other hand, the way the power-ups are handled in every mode pretty much gets rid of every sense of skill over luck. Crash Team Racing is still way better.
Most JRPGs: I'm making an exception for Mario and Mother, because I love those so, so much. <3 Anyway, every JRPG, from Chrono Trigger to Final Fantasy 6, just always feels the exact same to me. I guess I really haven't tried any long enough to get a feel for one, but they all feel like they all have the exact same setting, with the exact same mute heroes. I don't know if it's because I can feel every cliche I can see coming, or the constant random battles, but something about even thinking of playing most JRPGs makes me feel ill.
Most modern-day shooters: And by that, I mean most third person and first-persoon shooters. Gears of War, Call of Duty, and Halo. Call me a retrofag, but I miss when FPSes were fast and crazy, like Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, and Painkiller. Sure, they've remade the Serious Sam games and they made a (terrible) Painkiller sequel. But for the most part, the days of bunnyhopping, secret walls, and turning into a dog and shooting exploding barks at people seem to be long gone. Lately, it seems if you've played one war-themed shooter with cover systems and regenerating health, you've played them all, whether you're fighting people or bug-like humanoids from under the ground. I don't really hate Gears, but the fact that everyone either that, Halo, or CoD every time they make a new shooter kind of bugs me.
