I find most video games bore me quickly, but none takes the cake like World of Warcraft. It was fun while I discovered it, but the actual "playing" of the game was so bad I often stopped playing it and decided to work on something instead. Getting to level 70 was a painful grind. Even at level 70 there was so much "work" that the few fun things (which really do show up at level 70) just didn't make up for it.

Why so boring? Because there's no cohesive story. "Kill X of Y" is boring in and of itself, but pad a story on to it and I don't mind trudging through it to advance the story. Instead, you get a one page description of some generic problem (e.g., "My neighbour wants a fur coat, so kill me 10 mountain lions.") only to be followed by an additionally generic followup (e.g., "That's not enough; she wants a hat. Kill 20 birds and bring me feathers.") as well as a meaningless reward. The overarching story is lost in a sea of monotonous grinding, where each step is a painful reminder that accomplishing the next step will be just as meaningless. For the love of god, give me something to look forward to at least!

ironically, i found the solo portions to be the least boring. WoW had very well done set pieces that helped to flesh out the context of a mission in order to disguise the repetitous monotony.

at higher levels, missions required a collecton of stacked items... now that was boring. and when grouping requires the logistic foresight and planning of a Christian Pot-Luck, that's when that becomes boring.

Hellgate London. The only game I've ever not played to the end.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Maybe it's becuase I'm not into comic books (and never was), but that has to be the worst one for me.

EVE Online. I know most players and fanboys will prance around calling it the ultimate PVP sandbox experience, but having been a part of one of the largest corporations in the game and getting to participate in "the good stuff" that most people supposedly never get to see due to spontaneous aneurysms during the 10-day trial, I've been out there and I know what it's like to have to play with your camera zoomed out to a tactical overlay and click on big red crosses.

Nothing quite says "boring" like a game where you can literally change a couple settings, point yourself in a direction, and hope to whatever god you think may care about spaceship combat that lag doesn't kill you before your missiles reach their target. Even the character building is boring; the "optimal" builds are pretty cookie-cutter, while the widely-acclaimed time-based skill training system that grants every character the ability to do "everything" in the game doesn't come into play until you've been playing for three or four years.

really the most boreing game for ps3 ive played yet is COD3 i mean WWII is over and that game was crap y ceep bringing it up everyone wants to forget WWII but now COD5 world at war is gona be WWII :( i prafer future games with lasers and really big and powerful guns :D

GTA4

Sorry XD

Alone in the dark (the new one) bored me. I expected great things...
All I got was a stuck up - not scary - stereotypical - overhyped - badly voiced game with bad controls and boring combat. It was also far too easy, there was so many items around it turned from survival to I need a bigger jacket, or some more enemies to waste my items on. Some of the puzzles were illogical too, which didn't help. A shame really, because it had such potential. Maybe the Ps3 version will be better.

lee99:
destroy all humans sorry hated it boring ass game

Ahmen I didn't care for that...

All I can say is Command and Conquer

ive rented a few games for my son and man there boring when he begs me to play them suchcrap as TMNT ( the newest one) and Ben 10.

trying to think of something i played lately the new hulk game was real boring thats the frist one that pops to mind

E.T. for the Atari 2600...That game deserves to be in a land fill.

X2: The Threat and X3: Reunion. Only fan-made mods/missions/scripts can save that game from being boring. But it should be the people who make the game's job to make sure their game is actually fun.

What an awesome analogy, I guess that earns a "ROFL XD XD" from me. Never thought I'd hear "WoW" and "Christian Pot-Luck" actually have anything to do with each other.

Also, I thought this was another thread (of the same topic) that I posted in but I guess not so, I'll just post what I found boring.

Resistance: FoM - and Halo 3 multiplayer after a few hours, no matter what mode, but oh Resistance takes the cake for boredom, I'm sure it gets a LOT better later but if I can't get past the first few levels without falling asleep then I'll never get to experience the games true glory. I've seen the later moments of the game, I just wish I looked up some cheats for level skips or something because man, I don't know what it is but everything in the game feels so "artificial" and "lifeless"...I've seen stick figure wars in flash movies more lively than the first few levels of resistance.

Its pretty rare that video games bore me but here it goes.

Test Drive: Unlimited. This game I got with my 360 and it bored me shit-less. This probably stems from the fact that I hate cars, and also the fact that I couldn't figure out how to get any money to buy better cars.

Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time. This game really disappointed me. I didn't play the first one due to lack of interest, but I did pick up the second one. You see, I absolutely loved the paper mario games (I still play the first 2 to this day, but I haven't been able to get my hands on the third) so I had high hopes for this game to be on that level. What I got was a shit story, uninspired puzzles, confusing level design, and boring combat.

and finally.

VT: Shootout!!!, worst example of a pixleated flash game I have ever had the poor judgment to play.

supprised no one said assasians creed. That game should get an award for most boring game ever. I thought I was playing a simulation/tuturial called "watching paint dry, but with lackluster stealth kills extreme edition."

Any JRPG for me.... Taking in turns to bop eachother on the head isnt my idea of engaging or fun. Its like reading one of those choose your own adventure books but all options lead you to the same page.

HAZE it only has 1 concept which is nectar and gets boring after the 1st use also the online is just a rubish clone of every other shoter in existance

Burnout Paradise... maybe because I was used to the other Burnouts, but that game just lost the Burnout magic somewhere, and thus, became average Joe Racer.

Oblivion - So wide, so open, so dull.

GTA4 - I finished the story, now there's noting to do. If I could go back and do my favorite missions again maybe it wouldn't be such a problem.

Any recent Need For Speed game

Galaxy613:
X2: The Threat and X3: Reunion. Only fan-made mods/missions/scripts can save that game from being boring. But it should be the people who make the game's job to make sure their game is actually fun.

Y'know, I described these games to a friend as "EVE Online single-player" and never, ever, ever completed the second mission in X3. It was like "OK, if you want to be good, go farm credits for three days so you can get the ship that will survive the next mission, and once that's done, GO DO IT AGAIN." Why? ;_;

Its a close call between FF12 and Black & White 2.

I liked FF10 (only JRP i ever have liked) and expected 12 to be just as good but...meh. I hated the combat, plus the story didn't make a lot of sense and I didn't give a dam about any of the charcters.

Black & White 2 was such a shame. I liked the 1st one, even if I didn't finish it (it started to fall apart near the end) but the second one...just had no soul.

-Seraph-:
Runesacape....if that even counts as a game.

Me too. GRINDGRINDGRINDGRIND

Gotta agree with runescape. The only good thing about it is that its free, but then again, so is carbon monoxide poisoning.

man im glad im not the only one that feels that way the idea of driveing up to the races and stuff is horrible its a videogame it needs some interface and ud always pull up to the same races it felt like plus the open world idea dosent really work for a raceing game

I heard people have to buy a car to park in their garage for that...

where's waldo for the nes. it takes the title of the most boring game, also one of the worst of all time. got it for xmas the same year as mario 3. guess which one i played more

Final fantasy X, those cut scenes were too freaking long, I actually took a nap during one of them

Unlimited Saga. It took me half an hour to figure out how to move on that craptastic world map of theirs.

I hate that game so much.

WoW, hands down. I'm very glad I didn't actually have to pay anything to try it, because it bored me nearly to sleep every time I played. I shit you not.

Oblivion is a runner-up, of course.

The Sims. Once the novelty of absolute control wore off, I just found myself thinking 'Oh you're hungry? There's food over there. We've been through this. Do it your self.' Telling them to do exactly the same things every two minutes became a damn chore.

final fantasy tactics.

the Sims.

most grind fest in general actually. though if it has a great storyline or some other redeeming quality, I usually stick it through. fun though? few grind fest games would make me call them "fun"

oddly enough, I love harvest moon. go figure.

Yeah, but you can torture your sims. That's more amusing than anything I did in WoW (at least, anything I couldn't have done in an actual chatroom). It is more boring than Oblivion, though.

operation darkness lol

the original halo, I just drove somewhere, shot things, then drove elsewhere. Halo 2 is just as boring for going back to that fucking halo, at least the third had the decency to make that level short.
