For me......

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which is the highest console metacritic game of 2015, but is actually rather lackluster IMO. My first 15 or 20 so hours was very enjoyable,...............all of the mechanics are in place.........but eventually this game begins to work against you. The latter missions are a mess, the story becomes uninteresting, the world is rather empty and sparse, the gameplay becomes a case of rinse and repeat. Needless to say, I don't want to come back to this one again.

Runner up: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor............not a bad game, but the rather empty world (common theme between this and MGS 5), and uninteresting characters, put the game on this list.

Far Cry 4. Loved it to start with, but was totally bored of it long before I reached the end.

Fallout 4. I played it for a solid 40 hours before my enthusiasm just outright died, I stopped playing for a long time. Went back to it a while later to finish it, I enjoyed it a lot but it became such a chore. Zero interest in the dlc.

1) Assassins creed unity - so bad in every way.

2) Hardware rivals - Rocket League is well better.

3) MGS3 Vita - the controls are terrible missing the L2 and R2 buttons.

@sub12 MGS PP had terrible pacing, Its one of my favourite games due to its progressive gameplay, graphics and loadout choices - but it could of been trimmed down alot.

It depends on what you consider a 'good' game. Fallout 4 is a critically acclaimed game that doesn't make me want to keep playing - mainly because of all the 'building' (which I find a chore, clunky and unnecessary) and its hardly an improvement over Fallout 3 which I think is good but over-rated.

The Uncharted Nathan Drake series and Last of Us are also great games but after beating the campaigns, I have no desire to return - at least not yet. I am still pondering on whether to try and get the few outstanding trophies in U4 or let that stay on the shelf because I know the 'story' now. Its the same with many games I have for the SP - Both 'new' Tomb Raiders, Infamous 2nd Son (platinum trophy in that so no ambition to replay), Arkham Knight (100% story completion) etc etc.

A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...

Probably Tom Clancy's The Division. Way too grindy and repetitive, it was just full of bullet-sponges and fetch quests. It's one of the only games I've had recently that I'm totally fine with deleting before I've even come close to finishing it. Same goes for Destiny, if you can call that recent.

Fallout 4 is a good shout. I'm not the biggest fan of RPGs anyway, but I felt that F4 had really clunky gunplay and incosistent gameplay. I'm pretty OCD about inventories in games, so I was constantly stopping and emptying it to the point where I just didn't find it fun. I like the settlement building a lot though!

Fallout 4 - it had a great reveal and it looked promising, but in the end it just ended up being a bit glitchy and broken like a lot of Bethesda-developed games. It has it's moments but for a game that has been in development for that long, it was a bit of a disappointment.

There was a game idea here. It's gone now.

I have no desire to play Firewatch again.

@cloudrunner64:

You know, Firewatch was far from perfect..........but for some reason that game kinda picked a spot in my brain and set up shop......I don't know, I still think about it while with most games I would have long forgotten. Probably because the setting is so unique.

Gotta be the MGSV - The Phantom pain. Awesome game but it didn't know when to quit and I felt that to get everything would be a pure grind. I need to restart Fallout 4 as only got a few hours into it before I got bored so I know I am not giving it the chance it needs.

Fallout 4, I enjoyed, but it's not the story and characters that had me coming back, it was the world (in comparison The Witcher 3 was all of those aspects).

@get2sammyb: @Rudy_Manchego: The problem with Phantom pain - is your sprint speed doubled later on, you had full use of chopper drops and only when the dog becomes available are the pickups pointed out. By this point you have struggled for 50 hours to build up your base. I bared with it and that 50-120 hour point in the game I found extremely enjoyable. But getting there was a grind and a half.

@themcnoisy:

MGS 5 hits the gameplay on the head, no one will doubt that, but it's the wonky narrative, the empty / rather bland world, and a seriously bad case of padding that will hurt the games reputation in the long run.

@themcnoisy: I also found that it took me a long time to get the gear that suited my playing style. Stealth was hard in the early parts but the game got easier as you unlocked characters and better weaponry. I still sunk an awful lot of time into it and some of the mission were great but yeah, agree with you.

@sub12: I cant disagree, but with faster movement you could use the dog and the game opened up. Made it brilliant for me. I'm a big defender of the game as its so playable towards the latter stages, raiding the airport - rescuing hostages in the power plant - taking down a chopper with some c4 and a cardboard box. But man hitting mountains for the umpteenth time and being forced on a five minute jaunt across the desert got old quickly. The story had massive highlights like the clinic for the implanted virus as an example - but it wasnt finished. The huge expanses didn't help the game, to be fair mgs has never been about that and it really hurt the game.
