They are just so dumb and pretentious that I can't enjoy them. Ugh. They always sacrifice gameplay for the sake of being 2deep4u.
I love you. One thing came to mind for me: Braid.
I absolutely loathe Skyward Sword. I'm a huge Zelda fan, but Skyward Sword was horrible. Even worse than Twilight Princess. Gone are the days of any non-linearity in the Zelda franchise, it has now become a frilly storybook for fangirls. The way it reused bosses was infuriating to me and also insulting. The gameplay inbetween dungeons boils down to a mundane hide and seek minigame, and the scenery is so uninspired. And the loftwings are horrible. I want another Link To The Past and I want it now.
Aside from that, I never really cared much for God of War or Devil May Cry period. I'm just not much into hack and slash I guess. And I am turned off by most games that are super realistic in visuals - I grew up as a nintendo kid with lots of colorful character art and honestly that was a lot of the fun for me. Also, online FPS games. Or nearly 80% of the stuff that's sold on Steam. I'm not really into competition when it comes to video games - and I swear if I see one more 'funny' youtube video featuring Team Fortress 2 characters I might just keel over.
