At the risk of upsetting people, I have to say WoW. I just never really got it. After just a little while with each character I'd get sick of hunting monsters repeatedly. As soon as I had my ability order set in stone for most efficient kills, it stopped being interesting.I love the profession system, but as soon as you get past a certain skill level, you can't gain any real benefit from continuing unless you go level more, and that just bored me.

Probably Barney's quest from sega, you can't die in that game (no matter what you try), also all you have to do is search for some kids, and some presents, and when you are near them, they get close to you.

Anything based on a movie. Nor do they serve a decent hardcore game or a decent family-level game, but they are restricted to a certain agenda as part of the movie plot. :fun:Variety is essential. If you want to go linear, don't spoil the plot.
Should I feel bad if I want everything to become ice cream?

I agree 100%. If you watched the movie, playing the game always seem worse than the movie itself. The movie already spoils the game and the graphics aren't usually that well done.There's that, and Harvest Moon.I don't mean the older ones, I mean the newer ones that look 3D.Using the stylus seems like more work than the older games. In the older ones, it was fun to contantly pluck weeds and throw them.Anything based on a movie.

For me, this game called Pirates for the NES. Makes almost no sense.

My vote goes out to all the fashion wearing, dog walking, horse peting, i wish i was a cook dribble that been getting released on the ds. I know the demagraphic is children but i cant beleive it racks up enough fame to have sequels made. I played Nintendogs on my sisters ds and i'm like is that all. I couldnt even battle my dogs! I cried aloud with mirth and merriment! I felt as if my I.Q. was decreaseing at an exponential rate. BUt seriously, I am a firm beleiver that if your going to let your kids play games at least make sure your learning something from it so our future doesnt end up like a bunch of niave dimwits who spend there time worried about what color shoes to wear.

I hear that. I have to say some of the biggest "...why did I actually waste the past two hours of my life playing this?" moments were games for the NES, based on movies. Actually, I'd have to say several games would be for the NES period. Back to the Future and Ghostbusters both only gave you a splash screen of "Congratulations! You win!" for all your aggravation. Back to the Future 2&3 and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde seemed like atari games. My only motivation to beat them was simply because they tortured me in my childhood, but you seem to travel endlessly onward in a direction and you never reach the end (I never did anyways). And in the meantime, literally everything in God's creation (and even some that aren't, say, Koopa troopas in BttF2&3.) is trying to kill you. It's like the game's trying to teach you to be paranoid. "Everyone's out to GET me!"That and Home Alone & Home Alone 2 for NES. Home alone 2 I gave up on after I got to the boss of the first stage and found out it was....an elevator assaulting you with luggage. (I since watched someone who actually knew what they were doing play through the game and beat it, thankful that I didn't have to.) As we speak, I'm actually still playing Home Alone 1, trying to beat it. Why? I have no idea. It's stupid, it's probably just going to give me maybe a "congratulations, you win! Play again?" message at the most, when I should be playing Mass Effect instead. Maybe I need psychiatric help or something...Anything based on a movie. Nor do they serve a decent hardcore game or a decent family-level game, but they are restricted to a certain agenda as part of the movie plot. o.OVariety is essential. If you want to go linear, don't spoil the plot.

Any of The Sims games. To me they are pointless and annoying. Virtually zero plot. The only reason I ever touched the games was to design houses, my girlfriend at the moment uses the game constantly trying out new designs of houses trying to decide on what she wants to build. She's gone through several designs. But other than that I honestly don't see how some people (my sister included =P) can spend hours upon hours living a virtual persons life when they could switch the game off and actually live their own life. I just don't see how people can get so much enjoyment out of it.

I can think of a number of stupid games that I would never play, but the most pointless game I remember playing was Rampage for the NES. You take the role of either King Kong or Godzilla, and destroy the US city by city. One fine day, a friend and I teamed up to actually beat the game, which we had to do in one sitting because there was no save feature. Something like 6 hours later, we had finally bashed our way across the US, only to get the infamous "Congradulations!" splash and be sent back to the begining to do it all again.

Agreed. All you do on Farmville is click on your plants. Woo. Some game. Facebook has much better applications than this in my opinion.Well, I've never found a "dimb" game...But for dumb, I'd say farmville. Waste of time.
Yeah pretty much any of those "I Wanna Be...!" games for DS/Wii/whatever else are absolutely unnecessary. You wanna be able to do all that stuff for real? GET A JOB!!! haha.My vote goes out to all the fashion wearing, dog walking, horse peting, i wish i was a cook dribble that been getting released on the ds. I know the demagraphic is children but i cant beleive it racks up enough fame to have sequels made. I played Nintendogs on my sisters ds and i'm like is that all. I couldnt even battle my dogs!

Have you ever played it on the wii? The only difference is an improvement on the graphics, and a subpar character selection. I tried it on 2p mode, and it was horrible. The controls are so awkward they take all the fun out of the game, it's impossible to play without a nun chuck even when the game officially supports it, but even with a nun chuck, it's horribly awkward. I don't remember exactly how they were right now, but it basically did the opposite of what you wanted, I believe it was that tilting the controller upwards made your monster go down.That being said, I'd say there's a tie between the most pointless games, "tetris" and "runescape". Tetris doesn't change in the slightest no matter on what or where you play it in, not to mention higher "difficulty" levels consist of either filling the bottom half of the screen with junk, or raising the speed of the falling pieces. Runescape on the other hand, features the worst 3d graphics I've ever seen, and it annoys me to no end the fact that dying makes you lose most of your equipment.I can think of a number of stupid games that I would never play, but the most pointless game I remember playing was Rampage for the NES. You take the role of either King Kong or Godzilla, and destroy the US city by city.

I would definitely have to say any pet simulation game. The ones on the DS are so freaking dumb. If you want to take care of a pet then get a darn pet. They are loads more fun and interesting than the game could ever hope to be.
