PS:T. I'm too much of a combatfag and playing PS:T is absolutely disgusting. I still beat it and as everyone knows the setting and characters are great, but holy shit it's so fucking awful to play.
Arcanum. Almost exact same reasoning as PS:T. Shitty shit shit. I even liked Bloodlines' combat compared to Arcanum. Still didn't stop me from buying it of course, so I can still wave my fist in the air and curse You People for the death of Troika.
Gothic 1 and 3 (Haven't given 2 a good shake yet). I probably would've liked and stuck with Gothic 1 if not for the controls, but the flailing around combat annoyed the shit out of me. Morrowind's clickfest was easier for me to live with since I could just lean back and assume dice rolls were happening (And man I played the shit out of Morrowind), but with Gothic 1 there was a lot of wrestling with the controls and cursing. Actually got a fair few hours in before it pissed me off bad enough I stopped. Gothic 3, stunlocking. Stunlocking killed it for me. 30 orcs and you're level 1? No problem, just keep clicking that mouse. Some aspects seemed cool but again, the combat killed it for me.
Mass Effects 1 and 2 (Haven't touched 3). I assume this counts as a Codex classic, so yeah. I dragged my ass through ME1 and 2 and didn't like 'em. I've considered trying to deathmarch the whole thing for shits and giggles but haven't worked up the nerve. ME2 would've been a move in the right direction if it didn't have all that goddamn Bioware bloat everywhere. DAO at least was good for what it was and thinking on it I can dimly remember enjoying a few fights. Thinking about ME I just remember stilted Bioware dialog, Moon Patrol, and going through the same prefab areas over and over.
That's basically it though. Lotta bad people in this thread. Lotta really bad people. Kinda surprised at the Baldur's Gate hate too, no wonder people were bitching about BGEE. Shits don't even like the games. Read the entire rest of the thread up to this point to see if I missed anything, and no. I played and enjoyed (To varying degrees. Even DAO) most everything else. From this I learned what I already knew, I'm a combatfag first and foremost. I even rubbed ToEE all over my greasy folds more than a lot of these games.
