FF7:
I'd say the game is too easy (ok some bosses may be a threat with first playthrough) and the fighting isn't really tactical in the end. Use summons as long as you can and then spout some spells until the enemy goes down. Square kicked the players in the balls by putting Materia Keeper as a boss right after you get Vincent.
The game has really cool characters and a nice humorous touch.

FFVIII offers next to no help for people who are new to games, when I first played it (it was not long after I first started getting into gaming) it took me a short while to figure out what to do.
And if you stop playing it for a while and then start again, like with other old/middle-gen Final Fantasies, you forget things and have no idea what you're supposed to be doing, no way to remind yourself.
It's too easy to miss drawable GFs in bosses. A little hint that it has a GF would be nice!
I had to play back through the game to many times to get GFs I missed. Don't get me started on how many times I forgot to draw Siren and Carbuncle.
With most of the hidden bonuses on the game, there's no way at all of knowing they're there without googling it. There's no chance players would get Tonberry, Doomtrain, Bahamut or Eden unless they found out about them on the internet first. And there's a high chance people wouldn't get Odin in time to get Gilgamesh. Although, Odin > Gilgamesh. Apart from Gilgamesh one-hitting bosses, which is unlikely.
Too many criticizms. IT'S A GOOD GAME! STORY IS INCREDIBLE!

Aaalright I guess I can agree with those criticisms. The voice ating especially can get to me at times. But Bullshit? Bladed weapons, armourer, light armour, sneak, acrobatics and security are major skills and at 100, with the last one being marksman at 70-something. I can take a video if you really want :SApretentiousname said:
Red Dead Redemption & GTA4: other than the uncanny valley effect, there are a lot of strange glitches that result in 'WTF' deaths and sometimes, game crashes. Both games are also littered with adamantium-laced poplar trees and cacti. The controls are also poor very poor: to properly hogtie somebody in RDR, one needs to hold both triggers [or marshmellow-buttons] then tap X or A hoping they are in the correct spot. Walking is also kind of hit-or-miss especially in areas with questionable footing like, on cliff sides or fire escapes. Why can't Niko simply climb down the side of a building and drop onto the fire escape then, drop down from the bottom-most part of said fire escape!?
Just Cause 2: Two words: Invisible soldiers. You walk into a small town, pick up some items and lay a bomb by a generator...then it explodes because you mistook the triggered ones for the fragmentation. You turn around and see a firing squad of 8 enemy soldiers blasting away at your dumb ass with combat shotties and, full-on machine guns.
Resident Evil 5: Not a survival horror game.
Batman: Arkham Asylum: Too short. The ending also offers no closure.

Mass Effect 2 has an end. Also, it has the most overrated character in the history of gaming - Tali.

Heavy's are over powered and can kill anybody in about 2 hits.
Hat's are only easy to get through crafting, which is impossible unless you play ALOT and get unlockable weapons 24/7.
My favourite class, the Pyro is becoming more and more underpowered with each update.
(it's still a great game though! )

Bioshock
-Terrible aiming.
-Too easy.
-Not long enough.
-Splicers didn't use plasmid powers (Except Houdini Splicers, I think even they used molotovs) made the whole ADAM thing seem pointless.
Condemned
-Combat isn't as good as #2.
-The protagonist looks like a shaved ape.
Condemned 2
-The second half is just plain stupid because of increased use of firearms and that stupid shouting power.
Medieval II: Total War
-Moves really slow, it can easily get boring.
TF2 (PS3 version)
-Needs moar mapz.
-Can't kick people who are cheating/being dicks.
-I HATE CRIT HITS!

The Longest Journey: The puzzle system is a bit weird. You have to have such and such item from Level A in order to complete the puzzle on Level F. It can make things a pain in the ass if you miss one little thing.
Bioshock: The "big gray moral choice" was supremely dumb. Will you murder an innocent little girl or save her? For real, that's supposed to be an ethical conundrum? Cool story bro. I also defeated the end boss in around abouts five minutes without having to use more than one first aid kit. That was definitely anti-climatic.
Knights of the Old Republic: I didn't think any of the PC face presets were particularly attractive. Taris is a drag after multiple playthroughs.. Manaan, too, just because of the damn stupid fish heads. Oh, and MUSHA SHAKA PANKAAAAA x10000.
You know what I'm talking about. :|

Really? I find that Heavies get their asses handed to them easily, especially if you jump around them or get them from behind. If Pyro is your favorite class all you have to do is circle around them and light 'em up.Anti-gravity said:
Bioshock 2's turning is kinda assy.
I had to put it on maximum sensitivity (a first for me)and I still felt very sluggish.
Then again... that may have contributed to the Big Daddy feel.

Halo 3. Story depends a lot on geek moments from the book to be at it's best, the flood are no longer scary, the 8 year olds and the 20 year olds that ***** about them online are equally annoying, the brutes are not an adequate replacement for elites, aaaand... Well, Cortana was gone for most of it, and I actually enjoyed having her talk my ear off.
Good parts? Complaints are countered by my reading the books, I found the new flood to be a fun place to keep my bullets, if I defend the 8 year old the 20 year old either shuts up or turns so stupid it's entertaining, no counter for the brute thing, and the Cortana flashes gave me the geek moments from the first complaint. Oh, and online play is fun.
I can see why it would be irritating for others, basically, but I still damn well enjoyed it.

Team Fortress 2:
It's forums are filled with whiny 10-year-olds
Some of the items can unbalance the game
Rarely does anybody ever play medic, weaking every team.
Hats don't do anything, but everyone shits themselves over them.

The entirety of Half Life 2 happens only because of Lamar's wacky hijinks. Also, sometimes Gordon seems to come out alive only because of luck, like the part in Ep2 where
you are attacked by an Advisor and it only leaves you alone because there's a short-circuit in its life-support system.
