Games that you've burned out on, and never, EVER want to look at again.

Yeah, PSO. Unless they somehow make all the different versions compatible, in which case I'd go at it with some friends who have different systems. But otherwise, there's no way in hell I'm gonna listen to that crappy "monsters are nearby" music again.

And I had the mother of all burnouts on Mars Matrix - by the end I was just a glazed-over zombie mechanically going through the fourth stage over and over and over and over and over just to unlock the stupid pink background.

But I just know if I saw it in an arcade somewhere I'd jump right on to see if the skils are still there...

Gran Turismo.

Played the hell out of 1, but didn't od on it. Played the crap out of 2, and brought my desire to play again to zero. Finished 3, realized it was 2 again and decided I was finished with the series as well.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare. I loved it to death playing through it the first time, but when I tried going back to replay it, its appeal to me soon died out. The game's plot loses pace, intrigue and tension towards its ending, some of the enemies are *really* poorly designed, and the game's puzzles are often so bizarre and difficult to solve it defies belief.

It's because of this (especially the puzzles), and a general lack of replay value that I haven't gone back to the game. Badly designed at times and overly puzzling far too often.

Like Victrix a few posts back, I never again want to touch any game for which I've written a guide. Bleeeeeh.

MGS2, Jak and Daxter, Soul Reaver 1 and 2, Any of the first 4 Resident Evils, Castlevania 64, Half-Life...hmmm, I could keep going for longer than I thought...

I think it's kind of strange that I listed mostly newer games, although since I played them more recently I guess it makes more sense. I can't think of many older NES, SNES, and Genesis games that I wouldn't at least pick up again. Not saying I'd play them all the way through again, just not averse to playing again. All of the above games will likely never be touched again.

I am totally burnt out on FF7. No...more. i also can't bear to touch FF Tactics ever again.

I am temporarily burnt out on Snow Bros.- after spending $100's (maybe more) on it in the arcade spanning a 2 year time period. I then rediscovered it on MAME, and became burnt out even more (4+ hours a day at one point).

When the day comes for me to OWN a Snow Bros. arcade cab, I know that the fire will burn once more...

super smash brothers in any form.
also, metroid

Console RPGs as a whole. I spent two or three years trying to play every example of the genre and...I burnt out. I can barely stand to sit for half an hour in one anymore. Non-standard ones like Vagrant Story and Valkyrie Profile are notable exceptions.

I can barely stand to be around when GTA3 is being played, let alone play it myself. I played it for 2-3 hours a night for about two months after I bought it, and I've had quite enough.

Metal Gear Solid is one that I got sick of simply by being exposed to it too much. I played through it once and didn't tire of it, but for a year or two it was the only game my younger brother played. I simply became sick of the sound of it, and that was enough for me.

JSRF- I played it for like a week nonstop, now I never want to touch it ever again, for some reason. Actually, I feel hatred towards it. And that's weird, since it was the main reason I bought the Xbox.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series/or anything like it- I have had enough of these in all forms...maybe.

Virtua Fighter 4- Oddly, I haven't played this game much at all, but the years of playing the other Virtua Fighter games burned me out on this one. I didn't realise this until after I bought it, though.

I'm sure more will pop into my head later. Those are the major ones.

Eerily, I was going to type up just about the same response, right down the amount of time I spent playing JSRF, and my weird distaste for the game now, not to mention my years of playing VF and the dust now collecting on my copy of VF4. Ashod = my psychic game soul brother? You have my sympathy...

All the Resident Evil games. Something about running around looking for crystals to unlock a door I could just kick down or blow a hole through (they're made out of wood for goodness sakes) has eliminated my taste.
