Eat Lead : ugh...
It's not even a word, but regardless, that game made you feel depressed just by holding the box...

Well dude...my mum was actually raped...so yeah....TomLikesGuitar said:
anyway I'm am using it correctly...there is no other word to describe how awful sonic and the secret rings are...to be truthful I rather have a fat man called Dave stuff his cock up my arse than play that for more than a minute.
No, seriously, I hated Ring Out because of the rape involved. Those other guys were just being tasteless.TomLikesGuitar said:
Ring Out is a game where you play as a young girl kidnapped by yakuza and sold into the sex trade to pay off her father's debt. It was a misleading, insulting pretension of a visual novel where your choices were literally meaningless. The only question was just how quickly your character succumbed, rather than whether you could escape, and the "good" ending just has her happily becoming another character's sex toy.

Frustration
Mirrors Edge that is, falling off something and watching a loading screen over and over again gets annoying even faster than you'd think.

Yes Battlestar Galactica is busy, uninspiring sci-fi and the fact that Cylon technology is somewhat memorable in its own right doesn't save that, so I hardly see how because one tv-show was bland sci-fi makes it okay for Mass Effect to be bland sci-fi.TomLikesGuitar said:
The story was practically ripped off whole-sale from Revelation Space.
As a plot device, I agree they should have introduced the characters more (unless you are talking about Mass Effect 2, in which case they weren't introduced because you were supposed to know them), but in Mass Effect 1 they didn't introduce them only when the situation didn't call for it, to keep you immersed in the gameplay.[/quote]
Maybe I made a wrong choice or something but from what I recall Ashley and that engineer bloke had decent enough introductions and because each character was practically a blank slate with little differences in their fighting style (they didn't even have a nice support system like Jade Empire, this name's probably going to come up a fair bit because I freakin' loved Jade Empire and while every boy and girl's worshipping Bioware for Mass Effect their grade A Chinese mythological steampunk kung-fu adventure is getting no love) by the time on the Citadel where in the space of ten minutes I received all the other party members I'd already established Ash and the engy as my two party members, at least in Jade empire you'd end up rescuing the drunken master cook by accident from goblins or being rescued from soldiers in a jungle by an old jedi in KOTOR, when random alien chick number hyperbalillion literally just shows up on my ship like a stowaway I get no grand introduction or time to get to know them before the next character comes along. And I never once found the gameplay immersive (even though I went into EVER SINGLE PLAY SESSION in the mindset of "Another exciting space adventure!" because of how godlike others had made the game out to be, I tried to love it, I really did).
Considering how much you had to level up just to get decent with a rifle and/or pistol and then how much more you had to level up to even have hopes of figuring out how to use a shotgun I ended up literally sticking to my guns (well really the one kind of gun, that being the assault rifle) playing as s soldier every fight became:
*Walk into some cover
*Hope the AI doesn't get themselves killed
*Fire in bursts at enemies doing exactly the same so as to not overheat
*Oh look, one's rushing out to me, I can use my floating hover-grenade that floasts slowly in mid-air to eliminate the-oh wait, they dropped a shield
*This fight's above average in difficulty, maybe now I can finally use one of my vaguely useful abilities but I shouldn't bother making my other combat partner do something beneficial because she's used up all her action points
*Look at that, the fight's over...huh
At least in a game that gets over the shoulder cover based combat right like, as you said, Gears of War the music will be intense, the environments will be more interesting than vaguely blue corridor with random piles of boxes, the enemies will shake things up a bit and your grenades won't hover like you're throwing an exploding frisbee. And I've never accepted "It gets better when it's harder" as an excuse
I felt it had the Fable 2 problem, not only were their invisible walls up the ass and movement feels like your characters running along an invisible floating treadmill always at a perfectly straight angle with the ground but something as simple as jumping down a slight step can't be done so you've gotta go down a small flight of steps. But then again most Bioware games and indeed most third-person games have that problem.
But without reading the walls of text I felt I was missing out, if you play Bioshock you know exactly when Rapture was built, the events that led up to the civil war, what Big Daddys and little sisters are and even the technicalities behind Adam and the philosophy of Andrew Ryan and that's a mostly linear first-person shooter. Without the text I only had vague understandings of the alien races and history of the universe (but I wasn't even inspired to shovel down the text to find out, I mean Wookies are ass-kicking space bears and anyone worth their salt knows they come from Kaashyk).
For every person I've come across that's beaten the game 8 times and claims there's a special circle of hell for people that didn't enjoy it there are ten people who think the game was overrated, it's my opinion but it's also a fairly popular one.
To each his own, but I have 2 points.Pegghead said:
First, having read all the codex entries in both mass effects, AND collected all the audio tapes in bioshock, I have to say that I like the codex system better. It sorts the more important topics in a different section, and it probably takes just as long to listen to the important entries as it does to listen to bioshock's audio tapes. The codex just has that extra section of unlimited filler data for the huge nerds.
Second, you can show me a million posts of people saying they hated it, but I'd say Mass Effect 1's sales over time, and Mass Effect 2's launch sales say something about the first one that can't be ignored.
