What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?

I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
Oh among is so soooo lacklustre, I feel really bad for people who can't see that...
I agree with all your points. It's also grim playing a game where you can just get killed - thus having to spectate - at the start of every match, again, and again, and again.
