Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: Games you skipped for dumb/idiosyncratic reasons

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]I didn't play Assassin's Creed because I didn't care for the whole virtual reality conceit. The gameplay looked really unengaging to me, so I would've been playing it primarily for the "immersive experience", and the game-within-a-game stuff just added one level of abstraction more than I was willing to put up with. I actually have a license for Assassin's Creed II that I got for free, but I don't EVEN want to waste the 8GB of bandwidth (out of my 120GB allotment, for which I pay a monopolistic $60/month, thanks Obama) to download it. Here's the truly ridiculous icing on my irrational cake: had Jade Raymond and whichever anonymous elves visited her studio at night to make those games presented the out-of-simulation parts as first-person live-action FMV instead of the same third-person polygonal 3D as the in-sim parts, I probably would've been ALL OVER that shit. What personally offputting titles have you taken a pass on, Caltrops?[/quote]
