Goldeneye (N64) - I must have played this game nonstop for about two years straight. I seriously do not think I will ever even look at, let alone play this game again.

Umm... well. I haven't ever burned out on a game, but I have hated some enough to think like that. In fact, one of those times was Goldeneye.
After 100 hours of DW7, I'm not going back, even to get all the classes and all the sidequests and extra items/shards.
Not that it was a bad game, but 100 plus hours is just enough.
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.
Chrono Trigger.
I recognize it as a good game, and perhaps Square's best(?) effort ever. But the quest for the endings killed it for me, and I now hate it forever. Haven't touched it since around the time it came out. And the idea of playing it again now is still repulsive.
The only one I can even slightly consider bringing up would be the THPS games. And those are a "maybe".
Front Mission 3. There comes a point where enough is enough. I've had enough of FM3.
Later all...
Maybe Dragon Warrior 7. I kinda feel like I might want to get all the secrets one day but for now, I just want to beat the game and get it down with.
Any Acclaim WWF/ECW game
Final Fantasy VII
Perfect Dark
Any game I've ever done a guide for. Sad, but that's the way it is. I just don't want to play them again.
Other than that... I honestly can't think of any specific game I've burnt out on. Though I suppose I could say I'm burnt out on online players after many years of various games played online with the same set of idiots in each game ;)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA)- It is one of the greatest games on the GameBoy Advance, but I am so sick of it. I found %100 of the map, leveled up around the 80's (The Battle Arena is a breeze), and found all of the DSS cards. However, I have no desire to pick it up again and complete any of the other modes (Magician, Fighter, etc.).
Welcome to... NBA JAM!!!!
Ugh, I lent my bud the original NBA Jam on Genesis way back when, he managed to get over 100 victories, and I couldn't just let him have a better record than me.
Agh....
Oh yeah, Jay's post reminded me that I can no longer stand wrestling games. Even the good ones. I just can't take them anymore.
I'll go with Victrix's answer, except I never got any money for it, so that makes me a retard. Never again.
Mario Cart in any form. I NEVER want to play it ever again!
I'll second MGS2, hell, I don't think I'll ever play the first one again either.
Yeah, no more MGS1 for me, even though I really like the game. I got every ending, secret, everything. Plenty Snake action for one lifetime.
I'm surprised no one has said Tetris. The game's been around for a little over a decade in countless forms. I loved it when it first came out as just about everyone else did, I can't even think of playing it now.
That'd be Phantasy Star Online for me. No way in hell I'll touch that game again unless some radical changes are made to the gameplay. Three new characters and a few new stages = no thanks!
Well, I'm ready to give it a spin again, but there was a time where I played Resident Evil 2 four straight times, both Claire's scenarios and both of Leon's. I played through them two at a time over the course of two days and had NO desire to go through it again anytime soon. I think I steered clear of it for about 1.5 years before I ever picked it up again.
Super Mario Sunshine.
Four hours was enough.
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.
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...Quote:

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.

Oh yeah, and Test Drive: LeMans. Once I finally completed the 24 hour race and realised you had to be a freakin' ninja master to unlock the final cars I just put it down and haven't picked it up since.
I too almost killed GTA3 on myself when I was collecting footage for that video I made. Thank goodness I gave the game a rest, because I would hate to loose all intrest in a game I love so much.
Phantasy Star Online. I played that until the point where one day I realized that I never wanted to play this game again (and haven't). Which actually didn't take nearly as much time invested in the game as many other people.
Other than that, I'm a frequent revisitor, so I can't think of many other games that I once enjoyed but don't so much as even want to look at anymore.
Tekken 3. I know it's the best Tekken in the series (Tag followed by 2 for 2nd/3rd respectively, and 4 dead fucking last) but after playing the holy hell out of it at the arcade, then playing it on PSX and unlocking everyone including dr. boskonovich, that was more than enough of it for me. Now, thanks to VF4, I can't even play tekken properly anymore. :lol:
