Enclave

[aleph]

The gameplay of this game is horrible, unbalanced hack and slash combat, a stupid console-style save system, levels full of insta-death traps. But somehow I cannot quit playing Enclave. Everytime after I have played a bit I curse it and vow to never start it up again, but after a while I go back and continue to play. Maybe it is because it reminds of games I played when I was younger like atomic runner.

So, do you guys (and gals) also totally hate a game but cannot stop playing it for weeks?

Bloodrayne and its sequel did that for me but then again it had boobies.

Morrowind.

Hate is too strong, but playing without really enjoying it (at least after a while):
Ogame, D2, Morrowind, NWN 2, KotOR, Arcanum, ToEE.

I didn't play games I hate for weeks.
But I certainly finish many of them. Just for "sports" or something and also just to have a knowledge of what to tell mad fanboys.

Last time it was Mass Effect. Thankfully it was short enough so I've completed it.

I love Enclave... it's challenging but never feels cheap to me. I'm also not sure why you think the combat is unbalanced? I found it to work well enough.

I love the save system or lack of a save system anyway.

Ninja Gaiden 2. NGB always seemed eminently fair and balanced to me (even Master Ninja), but the new one, while a blast to play on, say, Hard, really starts showing its weak spots at the higher difficulties. In the Normal and Hard the frame-rate and camera issues are easy to laugh off, but once you hit Very Hard (going from hard to very hard is like running full speed into a brick wall) these issues become much more aggravating.

Of course, the drive on my 360 is failing, so loading sucks ass too, which doesn't improve my mood. And still, I keep playing it.
