What's the game you tried really hard to like but didn't?

For me, it's this.

The Legend Of Zelda Phantom Hourglass... Probably my least favorite in the Zelda franchise *sighs*

I'm not too much of a fan of Monster Hunter. I tried to get into it during MH4U's release but I couldn't ever get into the slow combat ,_,

undertale; i like the series itself and the characters, but playing it just bores the hell out of me.

probably partly my fault though.

Yoshi's Island DS. Being the sensitive child I was back then, when I first got this game, everything hit my ears wrong and caused me to freak out. I mean, I liked the characters and all, just the sounds were cringeworthy to my little kid ears. I may be used to it now, but that remains to be seen.

Now that I'm hearing the sounds again (even the babies and their cries) I feel less sensitive. Though Baby Wario's cry sounds like a strangled cat or a dying bird.

Mario Party 9. Okay, so it's different from the past installments...but it's different in all the wrong ways. I tried so hard to give it a chance...but the minigames not happening after every turn was a dealbreaker for me. Minigames are the best part of MP...why would you take them away from us?

I tried Terraria, but i was simply bored at all times while playing. Good thing i got it on sale for like a dollar

why are they changing the formula

the formula was good enough

Guild Wars 2. I preordered it and had a lot of fun playing alongside my friends in closed beta, but I could never recapture that sense in the live game. A lot of people like that you don't need to form groups to complete objectives together, but I just found that a bit lonely as people drift in and out without saying anything. However, there have been a lot of updates to it since I last played, and I kind of want to try again (a.k.a. I don't know when to quit).

yeah same, i really want to like it though! a friend got it for me on sale, so i feel especially bad about it.

For me, Minecraft and Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. I love Terraria, so everybody recommended Minecraft to me but I didn't enjoy it. The gameplay was dull, visually and content-wise, but I think that's because I prefer adventure-style games to survival/building. And after Garden Warfare 1, GW2 was a huge let down despite its much bigger budget... and it cost me $100 which I'm not too happy about
