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.
I had a really hard time with the interface. Kept accidentally hitting attack buttons (particularly, that grenade trigger) when I was trying to socially interact. Failing missions because you tickled the wrong button and got the entire screen filled with angry cops really was not my style.
I just rebound the grenade button from middle mouse to a side mouse button. Middle mouse is a dumb default bind for anything.
