Strangelove Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well ac1and gta4 are both terrible games. I think theyre pretty bad. Gta4 isnt just bad for a gta game, its just bad. theyre just both really boring games with pretty much no redeeming gameplay qualities. Gta4 has good graphics and voiceacting. ac1 has great graphics and kristen bell. thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Far Cry 2. Had so much potential and they just butchered it with menial gameplay mechanics. Can't drive a freaking meter in the damn game without a jeep showing up on your ass firing at you. And the voice actors for the game sounded like they were trying to break the world record for trying to utter a sentence as fast as possible. And the malaria pills sucked. The game's engine is damn good, though, just about the only saving grace for it. Whilst I agree 100% when it comes to the single-player, I had a blast whilst playing Far Cry 2 multi-player. I only rented it so I can't really comment on the long-term replayability but I played it pretty much non-stop for the week I had it.

slatz_grobnik Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 It may change, but my current level of hostility towards Elemental is pretty damn high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredEffinChopin Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Has to be either: TMNT (NES) - Not the arcade beat-em-up, the top-view/side-scrolling/crappy-swimming one. OR Friday the 13th (NES) Problem for me as a kid though, was even though I knew when I game was getting on my nerves I couldn't bring myself to put it down until I either beat it or got hold of another game to play. I'm pretty sure both of those defeated me eventually. I had a really nice run in TMNT once, I felt like I had to be near the end, but never made it. I think F13th just kept starting over when you killed Jason.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Far Cry 2 tip: stay off the roads and buy the manuals for the jeeps and they last a lot longer. I loved Far Cry 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think F13th just kept starting over when you killed Jason.... It was possible to kill him (IS HE REALLY DEAD???) but the hoops you had to jump through to do so were fucking ridiculous. You only got X amount of time to fight him before he runs away, and he would regain health when you're not fighting him, so you really wouldn't make a scratch in him until you found some of the best weapons in the game. And I think you had to find Ms. Voorhee's head to get an important item, only the head was hidden behind the kind of secret passage that you'd only know was there if you read it in a guide. It was impossible. I'm also gonna jump on the Far Cry 2 was awesome bandwagon. The only complaint I hear about that game is "The enemies keep spawning"; to which my reply is "Yeah, it's a shooter."

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Incessant spawns in a game where you have limited resources= the fuck man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Incessant spawns in a game where you have limited resources= the fuck man Resources weren't limited, you can pick up guns off any body or return to your hideout for unlimited ammo. You can also attack camps and for ammo of whatever type you needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm actually tempted to fire this thing up on an emulator in the near-future and beat it. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Let's see... Sonic Heros or whatever Sonic game it was called. The opening itself was horrible. The gameplay? Camera angles kills me when I go through those damn loops. Can't see where the hell I am going so I fall into a damn ditch and die. I'll put my say in for Sonic Heroes as well. The final straw was the railing level with Team Chaotix. Switching between railing and railing to grid was half-n-half because either you did the actual grind swap maneuver, or you jumped up in the air and had to pray you land on the railing in the middle of the sky! I don't always break a controller, but when I do, it's over a Sonic game. I miss my Wavebird... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Some shitty PC game called Big Biz Tycoon. I was like 12 at the time and I literally grabbed a box off Best Buy. I loved those games back then (I still like good business sims), but I was under the complete assumption that if the game looked good from the box, it was worth buying. It was complete and utter ass. The game lacked any kind of long-term goal, and the entirety of the gameplay consisted of hiring employees in one of the most asinine and mind-numbing ways you could possibly think of, assign them to separate projects, literally wait around and do nothing as time passed for them to finish the project (there was no visual feedback at all to this entire process, by the way. You just saw your employees hammering at their keyboards like monkeys whether they were working on a project or not), then when the project was finished you would "distribute" the project, which consisted of pushing a button to "distribute" and see sums of money getting into your account every few seconds. That was seriously it. Oh, and designing an office space that would never get used. Employees only interact with computers and toilets. Literally everything else was there for show and served no purpose. And even if they did serve a purpose, who the fuck wants to play a video game to design cubicles and conference rooms? Fuck RollerCoaster Tycoon (best game ever, actually, and don't you forget it) and designing wacky theme parks with crazy roller coasters, let's decide what shade of grey goes best with the grey cubicle walls! Throw in sub-par graphics, extremely bad repetitive music, and horrible Korean-to-Engrish translations, and you got yourself the worst game I have ever had the misfortune of playing.

BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I felt jipped when I played GTA IV. All my friends and all the review sites called it the best game ever, but it was weirdly unenjoyable. I still maintain, however, that Radio Broker in that game is the greatest game soundtrack of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I found nothing redeemable about gta4. i really tried too. its so weird that i could so heavily dislike such a highly praised game. Its really not like me. When it comes to games, im not too hard to please, yet everything in gta4 just felt boring and wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Lost: The Game I'd say. Only game I've ever traded in. So that should tell you something. I can't remember too much, it was one of my first PS3 games, it was just really bad. I was a fan of the show so Hurley n locke n all that was kind of cool. But when I ended up going in one end of a cave and then coming out the same end several times I was like "okay fuck this". Only got like £5 for it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteer01 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hmmm... I usually know what I'm getting into with non-sequel games, and I can't think of any non-sequel games I really hated. I mean, I even bought Oneechanbara vorteX at full price when it first came out here in Japan, and I beat the game while enjoying it...so I guess I'm not too harsh on games? But I really disliked GTAIV and stopped playing it after a few hours...neither the story nor trying to have fun just free roaming did anything for me. That was really disappointing because I really enjoyed GTA3 on PC, absolutely playing it to death. It was cartoonish and unrealistic, but that's what made it so fun. The fun was missing from GTAIV for me, and while I looked for it in as many places as I could think of, I couldn't find it. I also really disliked DOAX2. I owned DOA4, and had owned DOA and DOA2, so I figured when I saw DOAX2 on sale for $10, there had to be something redeeming there. No, there really wasn't. But the game I hated was Modern Warfare 2. Horribly written, buggy, short, unenjoyable single player, and a multiplayer experience that even if it wasn't plagued by horrible matchmaking and glitches was inferior to the two COD games to come before it. It even prohibited Party Chat from being used in the vast majority of multiplayer gametypes. That meant that after I'd more than decided I was done with the game, I still found myself unable to be in Party Chat with my friends if one or more of them were playing MW2. Usually, whether playing a multiplayer game (lots of SSFIV around that time) or a single player game, I'm almost always in Party Chat socializing with one or more of my friends while I play. MW2 is the one game that managed to adversely affect my gaming experience even after I'd stopped letting it anywhere near my 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
