TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 When I say bad I don't think you realise how bad. I can empty an entire gun out on an enemy without killing it if I'm in a particularly off mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I really dislike pretty much all of the DQ games. The plots and dialog tend to be far too cheesy for me. The first ones graphics were so bad that I could never play them for more than 5 minutes but I just bought IX on a whim and I'm actually quite enjoying it. It's got an original story so far and it's actually got a fantastic soundtrack. I've got to second this - I've never played DQ before, but IX is great. The main story, as well as all the side stories, are original and usually pretty touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Metroid prime. Just yesterday I was thinking about how much I love that game after watching Extra Credits rip on Other M. Coincidentally, I began thinking about how I only knew one person who disliked it. For him, the extra dimension didn't transition well. Now I can say two!

Strangelove Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 If it makes you feel better, im not a huge metroid fan. I loved super metroid and fusion, but i always prefferred castlevania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanaEquiesterer Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm also going to go with Dragon Age: Origins. I played it for about eight hours and got to the bit where you meet the witch after some tower burns. I felt like I was playing Star Wars: KOTOR in a fantasy setting with some minor story changes. I was aware of it before, but DA:O really opened up my eyes to how much Bioware is recycling a lot of content in their releases. Another thing that didn't work for me was the generic fantasy setting. I've since found out that was a design choice, to try and make a stand-out generic fantasy; but it still felt generic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Bioware fans never acknowledge that bioware recycles game. Its an unspoken rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I felt like I was playing Star Wars: KOTOR in a fantasy setting with some minor story changes. That's exactly what it felt like and I loved it SO MUCH! Then they ruined it with DA2. Bioware fans never acknowledge that bioware recycles game. Its an unspoken rule. Maybe most won't, but I certainly will. See above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Infamous. Have I said that yet? Yes, Infamous. Never before have I played a game with a less likeable protagonist. Fuck you, Cole. Not to mention, the way he walks around all crunched over, really bugs me. And his friend!!! His friend!! God I almost hate him more than Cole.

Masonvrocks Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) I personally wasn't a fan of RDR. I found the gameplay a bit generic and the story boring and tedious. I always felt like I was just doing shit for people without much actual story progression for John. Traded it in after a couple hours in Mexico. Also: Kirby Canvas Curse. Edit: So this was originally another thread because I didn't know this existed. Sorry for bumping a super old thread.

Strangelove Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Dragon Age on normal settings is pretty unlikable(PS3, if you care). I honestly had a real hard time about 6 or 7 hours in. Then I changed it to easy and the game got awesome as fuck. I hate to say it, but the story stuff is way better than the dungeon crawling. I just enjoy the dialogue and stuff way more I guess.

Hocking Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Burnout: Paradise All things Call of Duty post COD4. Halo 3 I hate the Sims 3. Sims 2 forever. Ditto. I reinstalled it last night after talking about it with a friend and thinking I must've been wrong about it. Reaffirmed my hatred for it. Absolutely love TS2 though.

Hot Heart Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 We've gone over the Burnout thing so many times... In simple terms: the racing was rubbish in oh so many ways and there was no proper crash mode. Faffing about (in multiplayer) was fun. They might as well have called it Faffabout Paradise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the free roam killed it. I don't usually like driving games, the first burnout or two were rather unique. Paradise to me felt too much like a generic driving game.

Thursday Next Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I liked the sandboxy, go anywhere, do anything feel of it. The content updates were great. Loads of post release free stuff, and a good value expansion in the form of Big Surf Island. Of course, I am biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagathorian Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Anything that Valve makes. I dunno, I just don't enjoy any of their games. I never really liked Red Dead Redemption either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Not so much hate but I just can't bring myself to care at all about Kingdom Hearts. It's just a kid wandering aimlessly through some Disney movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Go ahead and throw in Halo Reach as well as maybe the series in general for me. I played Halo: Reach for free by me signing up for that "disc format beta" thing. I had never played a Halo game before, but since it's so freaking popular AND so freaking popular with kids (they make Halo-themed LEGO toys FFS) I said to myself "well, it's probably not going to be awesome but it's probably going to be amused in some way". Holy shit was I wrong. There's nothing particularly WRONG with the gameplay, except for the fact it's the most pedestrian and flat AAA title I've played in several years. The level design I found completely unimaginative and not at all engaging, and you did absolutely NOTHING but shoot. They didn't even make the shooting interesting by switching things up for you to shoot things differently (with the exception being the space dogfight, which was fine if not a little pedestrian itself), it was just "go here and shoot. Done? OK, move up a bit and shoot more". The fact that I've heard many call Reach the "best in the series" makes it even worse. If this is the best then I really don't want to play the rest. It's just "Space Shooter: The Game". Generic art style, generic story, generic music, generic shooting. Just generic in general. Nothing is of low quality, but Bungie made absolutely no effort in going above and beyond in any way in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocking Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Naw, don't be hating on the Lego man. The Halo shit is made with that Megablocks crap. You know, the thing that pretends it's Lego but when you give it to a kid on their Birthday, they look like you've just run over their dog.

Nothing is of low quality, but Bungie made absolutely no effort in going above and beyond in any way in my opinion. Whoa whoa whoa. Look, son. We agree on a lot of things. But don't you go insultin' my Halo music. The story itself is a decade old, the art style was done differently for Reach, and yes. There is even a goddamn joke in Halo 2 in which Chief says "Thought I'd try shooting, mix things up a little." It's a shooter, man. ALL YOU WILL DO is shoot and drive vehicles. Halo: Reach was a Halo fanboy's dream because of the story you read about ten years ago was finally brought to life in a video game. It is straight up Halo fanboy territory. It is the best Halo made in my opinion. If you want to play a game that takes you to different stories with different perspectives on the way things move. Play Halo 2. If Reach didn't exist, that'd be the best one. Fuck what anyone else will respond to you with about Halo 2. It is the best of them all until Reach, an admitted fanboy territory for hardcore Halo fans, came out. Seriously, dog. Fuck whatever anyone else has to say about Halo. You should not play Reach until you've played the rest. When you suffer through Halo 3 and ODST, then you'll realize why Reach is so heralded. It got it right, finally, on the next gen platforms.
