Bad games everyone but you loves.

Call of Duty World at War 2, its just cheap, and Ice Ts voice grates on my nerves, why would I want it.

Oh god, how badly I want to do something to promote your comment.

Can we start a weekly contest for the best comment of the week or something? Because you would win so hard.

Pokemon

I have mixed feelings, but I just don't like it. At times, it's fun to play... but most of the time, it's irritating.

The random wild encounters can sometimes get to be a pain in the ass, especially in caves.

Alot of the battles feel like grinding and nothing much.

Legendaries are just to hard to catch for Pokemon that aren't even that amazing.

Super Effective just annoys me when 20 levels of difference mean squat, 'cause of attribute.

Getting lost/unable to continue the story.

I wish there was more direction and hints at times.


Things I like though, the Pokemon are cool.

The battles that are part of the story are fun.
The stories usualy fun to play out.
Capturing a Legendary feels so good.
Flying is godly.



But yeah, to me the griding and cheap ''super effective'' blows that knock me out in one hit have just made me jaded towards these games.

I understand most of what you are saying about Pokemon, but I would like to know how you get lost in a Pokemon game? The games are actually very linear, half the time they point out exactly where you have to go next. There usually is only one way to go, which is on to the next city, though if you do have more than one path to choose, the wrong path is always some kind of dead end until you get a certain item, and those dead end choice usually only take up at the most 3 or 4 minutes.

I always got pissed many years ago back in the day of Red and Blue, when my little 7 year old cousin harped on me to help him find out where he was supposed to go next. The reason it made me angry is that as with those versions and all that came after them, the player has a map in inventory, and people that are walking around that can be talked to. If players actually used the map and talked to people, there would be no getting lost.

I am the master of getting lost.

I actually am a bit lazy when it comes to the maps, and I have somewhat of a bad memory.

I usualy get lost around the end, where I've almost finished the story.

More so in the newer games, I never got lost on Red, Yellow, and stuff like that.

I'm kinda lazy and I don't walk around alot, so I fly around like crazy.

XD I hate it when it turns out to be an island was where I needed to go.

Kingdom Hearts; I don't understand why it got such a high rating on all review sites, I find it tedious and superlame at least the first couple of missions that I've played so far.
also the Final Fantasy series ... come to think of it I just don't like JRPG games.

 

[Mortrialus]

Gears of War and God of War. I find them visually grotesque and repulsive, like walking into a twelve year old's masturbatory fantasy of what he wants to be when he grows up.

I also don't care for the GTA series aside from 3 when it invented the sandbox genre and the novelty wore off. I don't hate them. I'm just very "Meh" about the criminal based subject matter.

Any of the guitar based music games. I don't see the appeal.

 

[TitanAtlas]

Guitar Hero, Band Hero, Legendary, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Every single Lord of the Rings game, Splinter Cell, Final Fantasy XI - XII - XIII, Medal of Honor (the most recent one), The later Sonic games (Werehog, sonic knight, sonic riders, etc), Call of Duty 3(Big Red One), Wolfenstein(2009/10) every single kids games (Shrek, Toy Story, etc), and theres a couple games more i really hate but now i dont remember the list...

The reason i hate these are bnoxious, bad endings, no plots, bad controls, really bad A.I's, Fucking longer cutscenes than game itself, too overrated, too boring, and every single one made me goddam sick....

This is a ridiculous topic. There are two ways of judging how good something is:

What the majority thinks, which in this case means the game is good and the individual is wrong. This can only be used in discussions about things which can be measured, for example two cars that are identical except one is cheaper to buy, obviously the cheaper one is better.

What an individual thinks, which means that a game is neither good nor bad, but is dependant on an individuals taste. Which means that the discussion is pointless because your opinion doesn't have any impact on what everyone else thinks and so is irrelevant.

These threads are just an excuse for angry people to shout about how much they hate popular games.

The Halo series. Why? The single player was all centered around a protagonist with no emotions/humanity/personality running around bashing aliens and flipping cars like they are made of paper.

Like Half Life?

Fallout 1: So it's like Fallout 3 but turn based and apparently funny? Okay, I'll try thi- the FUCK?! THE WHOLE THING IS TURN BASED, NOT JUST THE COMBAT?!

No it isn't... Only the combat is turn based.

There are far too many of these threads asking the exact same question. We need a Mod' to start locking these and linking to an already rolling version.

Indeed. It gets kind of tiresome being told by some 14 year old that I have never met, that my opinion on what games I consider worth my time and money are somehow wrong just because they personally do not like it.

 

[Iwata]

It takes a lot for me to hate a game. But if there is one that can make me hate it, Lost Planet is it.

And of course, Freelancer. People gushed over this game when it came out, but only because NONE OF THEM played Starlancer. If they had, they'd have seen what a major step down Freelancer really was.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Halo. all games in the series. except Halo Wars, i like that one.

 

[Blood Countess]

I could name so many.
Modern Warfare 2 and everything from Valve to begin with.Metal Gear Solid is another series

I see no appeal in any of these and never will.

 

[Estocavio]

There are way too many of these threads.
In good spirit though, Call of Duty, because i dont like running around shooting things all day.
Also Halo
And most FPS games were you just run around shooting things

An example of an FPS that does not fit this description would be Farcry 2, or Condemned 1&2

 

[jayzz911]

The entire CoD Series. Seriously i Haven't even played one minus WaW and that was only for nazi zombies which i played twice and got bored. Halo 2 and up. Gears. Theres a lot more.

hmmm i find it slightly annoying that you claim that you dont like COD because you played WaW (which is the absolute worst of the COD series)and when you buy it for the zombies which is basicly a minigame and get bored in 2 times of it, dont be too surprised.

 

[-Seraph-]

Pokemon....god do i ever hate that series. Boring, derivative pieces of crap with very little worth while change between games and a sleep inducing battle system. It's one big and boring meta grind of a game that is still popular for some stupid reason. Well I blame them conditioning us as kids from an early age and it's pretty much been nostalgia and what not since then, but I just can't stand them.

No real story for me to give a damn about, boring combat and grind, and just not at all fun. Series can burn in video game hell for all i care.

this. good god the whining. its horrible.

however, if i was to add to the topic, on subjectively bad games that i know that people like, I'd probably have to go with...

farming simulator (pc)

i kid, i kid, i honestly dont know a single person who has that, and if they do im very curious as to why...

but really, popular games are generally popular for a reason, sometimes they have cult like followings and that can get annoying in the long run but oh well

 

[Saxm13]

I'd say the Half Life series, although some of the scripted events are really amazing to watch.

 

[iFail69]

The Halo series. Why? The single player was all centered around a protagonist with no emotions/humanity/personality running around bashing aliens and flipping cars like they are made of paper.

Like Half Life?

difference is, the other characters in Half Life are well developed and the story is good (and the character isn't a genetically modified superhuman, rather a physacist in an advanced lab coat). The story in Halo was shockingly bad and I didn't really feel that any of the characters were well developed, which led to it not being an enjoyble game.

The Halo series. Why? The single player was all centered around a protagonist with no emotions/humanity/personality running around bashing aliens and flipping cars like they are made of paper. The storyline was linear and very predictable. The multiplayer... don't even get me started on the multiplayer...

Also, I gotta say, I really dislike the Fifa series, that could be because I find all sports games to be dull as hell (except the really old one where you could turn fouls off and switch teams at will )

Complaining about flipping cars like paper is getting a little picky. Being able to do so isn't wrong in any way. Spartans are engineered super humans with power-armor, I would be surprised if they couldn't flip cars like paper.

That's a reason why I dislike Halo as well, playing as genetically engineered superhumans doesn't appeal to me whatsoever because there is no way of relating to the character in any way.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Uncharted. I dislike Uncharted 2 too but I accept that its a decent game that is enjoyable to play, even if its incredibly over-hyped in my opinion.
Uncharted though had nothing Uncharted 2 had. The combat/gunfire was the worst I've ever played, the platforming was frustrating, the puzzles weren't puzzles, the plot was seen-it-before Tomb Raidiana Jones.

I cannot understand why its held in such high regard. PS3 fans clutching at straws perhaps?
The hype it received probably has affected my opinion on it, it happens, but I've gotten over that hype enough to accept Uncharted 2. I see nothing good in Uncharted.
