What RPG did you want to love, but just couldn't get into?

One thing I will say is, at the top level, cyphers are such an incredibly clever mechanical solution to a genuine problem in a lot of games. Conceptually, so is the [Adjective] [Noun] who [Verbs]! Never before or since had I wished a game would be more like FATE.

I will 100% vouch for No Thank You, Evil! though.

I think my choices hee are:

Shadowrun. Love the setting and the lore. I hate the rules.

Fantasy Flight's Star Wars. I like Star Wars, but the rules here were clunky. and don't get me started on the awful dice.

For me it was Warhammer Old World.

I wanted to like it, I think it has all the right tools

but...

It's just not really right fit for me. It's combat rules are too miniatures based, and very hard to use totm.
It's playloop is strange, i dont feel like its adventure and town phases are well developed.
And its setting is odd, since they picked different date, but left same classes, some classes dont make sense anymore and it highlights too much of the nonsense of the setting.

And i love warhammer, so this is tough to not play

Probably shadowrun. It gets such a bad rap that I have never touched the system. Ran my own cyberpunk with magic setting twice though once in 3.5 and again in 5e.
