To me, though, "it turned me off" suggests that you thought you'd be interested or enjoy it but you weren't or didn't. Like my experience with Nightbane - a game on that premise could be fun, it's just the game that sucked.
If you think vampires have to be bad guys, and you don't like playing bad guys, what possessed you to give Vampire: the Masquerade a shot? Same question goes to the people who don't like supers as a genre and nominated supers games; I'm baffled.

Let me say that Rifts is divinely inspired holy writ compared to that game....I feel that my IQ has slipped a Stardard deviation after skimming the PDF. I plead with those of you out there who are considering looking this game up....don't... the game is really that bad. Now if you'll excuse me my brain is leaking and my eyes are burning.

It seemed pretty neat, so I thought about getting my own army, until I saw just how much it was going to cost, then paint, then get terrain for, then update it all periodically, then notice how much more expensive their minis were than every other brand made me really hold off. Then stopping by my FLGS when people were playing regular games (not a demo for other people's benefit) and seeing almost every game degenerate into bickering and rules lawyering over the newest version of the Codex and tiny details of rules and I realized it really wasn't anything I wanted to get involved with.

I would look at the rules only allowing 1 16th level Druid in the entire world, or no monks higher than 14th level in the entire world, or the arbitrary demihuman level and class limits, or the clunky NWP/Thief Skill systems and know there was a better way.
