Major gaming franchises you have no interest in?
Sonic the Hedgehog
Tomb Raider
I've tried and tried and tried to get into these games, but I've never finished one or even come close. Something about them just doesn't speak to me. No patience, whatever.
Sonic Adventure is the one I've played the most, but that was probably because it was the only Dreamcast game other than NFL 2K that I had for a good couple of months. Never finished it.
Tomb Raider

Sonic here, too. I just can't get into the games. I used to enjoy playing them occasionally when I was younger, but they bore me now. My friends love them, but I don't think they compare to much better Nintendo franchises from the same era. I haven't bothered with any of the later releases, although I kind of feel like I'm missing out on Colours as it got good reviews.
I've lost interest in Gears of War.
I also don't like Halo at all. I've played through them all and I just can't get into the world. It bores me. I rented Reach, played through it in one night with friends, and only kept it for a couple of days afterwards to unlock multiplayer achievements. I was bored of it after the first night.
Fighting games also don't interest me.

I'll add Gears of War also. Played through the first one up until the final boss, then decided I'd rather be doing anything else.

Gears of War - tried twice to get into the first game and haven't made it past the first couple of chapters. I'll give it another whirl at some point.
Grand Theft Auto - currently on my fourth or fifth attempt to make it through GTA IV without giving up out of boredom.
Halo - finally played through Halo 3 and it was ok, but haven't had any desire to go through the campaign again, touch the multiplayer, or branch out into any other games in the series.

Halo, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear. I played Metal Gear 4 for one day and never picked it up again. Tried playing Halo and didn't understand the love - it was...simply average, turned into three games that played exactly the same and had the same enemies. I can't understand it.

1. Grand Theft Auto - How can such a huge sandbox game be so incredibly boring?
2. Metal Gear Solid
3. Rock Band/Guitar Hero games
4. Sports Simulations (Madden, NBA etc) - Used to love them when I was younger. Guess I've grown out of them because now I can't stand them.
5. Racing Simulations (Gran Turismo etc.)

Halo - I tried, I really did, but these games just do absolutely nothing for me. Truly baffled how this franchise is so huge.
Anything Wii - haven't bothered with a Nintendo console since the SNES.
Call of Duty or any of the clones.

Anything with the word Mario in it. I've never understood how those lame-ass titles ever got popular, but clearly I'm in the minority.

I must admit, the jumping feels pretty nice on the 2D Mario games compared to many other platformers (like Little Big Planet apparently). Still, I liked Sonic over Mario back in the day.

Halo (is it true that the latest games don't even take place on Halo? )
Any sports franchise that doesn't involve golf or Mario.

And Tomb Raider, which is also probably why I haven't gotten through the Uncharted games either, but will try to before the third game is released.

Re: Major gaming franchises you have no interest in?
ALthough they look similar, Uncharted and Tomb Raider are very different. Uncharted is a shooter with some small puzzles mixed in. Tomb Raider is a puzzle/exploration game with some poor shooter elements mixed in.
