I liked Bioshock, but I felt it wasn't nearly as good or interesting as it could have been. I felt kinda cheated that I'd more or less seen everything there was to see after the first hour or so.DeathsAmbassador said:
The original Star Wars movies- Don't get me wrong 4 is decent and 5 is my favourite Star Wars movie but 6 is brutally "Happy Happy Fairy tale" I mean the rebels are attacking lets NOT shoot. One word. EWOKS!
Pure Pwnage is way overrated.
It started pretty good, when it was mainly a mockumentary about pro gaming, but once it turned into a crazy fantasy story, it really lost its steam.
MGS after the first one. Hideo Kojima gave himself a story enema once he took off. MGS 1 was awesome though.
Final Fantasy after VI, except my first pull through X (I managed to 100% it, including fixing the sphere grid).
Halo, mainly because when it first came out I was a bit of a shutin, and didn't have an xbox, so all of my friends got really good, and I sucked, so it's never really appealed to me - I prefer single player FPS/TPS experiences anyway.
Elder Scrolls - This one has hooked me a couple times, but all in all, it's mainly garbage. The only good thing about Oblivion in the long view is Patrick Fucking Stewart, and he dies in the tutorial dungeon, fuck that shit.
sports games, although most gamers laugh at them, there is a large segment of the gaming population that still buys these things. Maybe it's because I dislike sports. I'll occasionally pick up a basketball or hockey game and might have a few good laughs, but I could never bring myself to buy them, as they go out of date faster then a home PC, and that is saying something.
Movie games is a no brainer. They suck, and the only people who buy them are fanatics with too much money, and moms hoping to give their kids a happy birthday or merry christmas. They've gotten a bit better over the years, but mainly, they're garbage.

well, you'll always have the old Mutant League seriesElArabDeMagnifico said:Woah I heard that got cancelled! Please prove me wrongshatnershaman said:
More for the list:
- Sports games (even though I tested MLB2k8, look for my name in the credits!): If I wanted to play sports I'd go outside.
-Guitar Hero: Yeah, pretty colors, cool music (some of it is pretty cool at least), and an interesting concept, but really more of an activity than a game. Like an advanced version of that light up "Simon Says" game. (Holla holla if you're old school enough to know what that is.)
- Capcom Vs. SNK, Street fighter, all those fighting games with the exception of perhaps Tekken 4 and Tag: From what I can tell its a bunch of hyper pocky-nerds on a sugar rush mashing buttons and covering the screen in gross amounts of colors and onomatopoeias. Oh, and DOA had a terribly fighting system, the only reason to buy the game was "OMG BEWBZ!".
...Frankly, I'm content with my ability (and not much of a desire) to beat the shit out of most people I meet in real life anyway, so this has never been some great fantasy for me to experience.

Good lord finally someone that dislikes FPS's. Dammit but I could never get into that genre, PC or in consoles. The only three FPS's that I have been able to enjoy are Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark (N64) and Bioshock (although that game was WAY too easy). I don't know but I find the 1st person view so constricting and uninteresting; that's why I couldn't care less about this tidal wave of FPS's out on the market right now and the ones coming out as well.jezz8me said:
Resident Evil 4.
Seriously, calling a game with such a barely functional control scheme "flawless" should be illegal. It wasn't scary, the story was insipid, and I've seen everything it does done much better somewhere else.

It was alright, but it was incredibly shallow, mostly due to the one-dimensional enemy behavior. Sure, you had a lot of powers, but defeating an enemy just by choosing the power that works well against him isn't really depth. Of course, there were only two three kinds of enemies anyway; splicers, machines, and big daddies.
I would have to start with the mightiest of all: World of Warcraft.
I played it and had fun for about a month, until I discovered that the RP in MMORPG was probably an acronym for Repeat Perpetually. I ceased almost immediately to enjoy going about doing the same 5 things in various different ways, with no traces of any individuality left in what I can only loosely call, my character.
Not a game at all, but a system for games so I will count it: Steam. My brief encounter with the technology has brought nothing but the bitterest sorrow in my life. I will not dive into details hence I may brake down and cry at the memories, but I know that most people are truly grateful to Valve for their gift to humanity in the form of this omnipresent system.
I subscribe to the general Halo disrespect in this forum (since I dare not disrespect it elsewhere for obvious safety reasons) because I found myself playing the second instalment of the game at a friend's home, and half way through the campaign I actually had to stop it and check if I had not, by mistake, placed the FIRST Halo in the machine, and had been wasting my time re-playing it for the past many hours. When I saw clearly the number 2 after the name in the disc, I knew I was in the middle of a game worthy of that Emperor of the invisible garb. I had indeed been wasting my time, but for other reasons.

"Takes the piss"? I have no clue what that means, and I'm an English teacher for crying out loud.Dayantis said:
I thought it was kinda like "it takes the cake" only "piss" instead of "cake, so rather than being the best at something its the worst? I know a Canadian guy who used to say "I'm pissed" or "I'm pissed out of my tree", both of which meant he was stumbling drunk. However, us Americans usually use piss to indicate anger, as in "I'm pissed-off", but other than that and the rare "This tasted like piss!" I'm completely in the dark about piss slang references.
Taking the piss : Colloqualism : To phrase a request in such a way that it patronises or demeans the person to a high degree.
Similar : Taking the mick/michael/mickey, Extracting the urine, having a giraffe.
Probable etymology : Male Royalty were often unwilling to use latrine's so that a child with a bucket would be made to follow them and "take the piss in a bucket". This was then used to denote any job which would be seen to demean.

WoW and other MMO's - hate the grind
Halo - SP was a copy/paste fest in my opinion, I felt like I was walking down the same halls over and over, killing the same enemies over and over. Wasn't a fan of the multiplayer either.

I'm unaware if it was brought up [oh bloody well it was! In the first post! =O], and I know I'm not completely alone in this, but "Kingdom Hearts 2" is the largest waste of time in the latest gaming age or two. I could almost understand why some diehard fans of the first were spoonfed the second, but just because there is a sequel to a good game, the sequel is not always as good.
I think a game like KH2 is proof that you can squeeze any generic cartoon tripe from your dick and convince the idiocy that is todays young gaming community that it's an awesome thing to play with.
And before I'm disagreed with, what was the premise of that game? If you're different, emo, or gothic, you deserve to get wiped from the world regardless of how much you want to fit in. Women are tools (I believe there's only one playable female character in the entire game. The rest are just there to get you through a doorway). You can solve anything by hitting it. What was the plot? Everyone has amnesia! Oh, and because you don't remember what happened the last two months, you have to save the world because of what they can't remember by the badguys who don't remember why they did it in the first place. This is completely leaving out the fact that it's a senseless button masher (Two buttons. Kill and Instakill) with so many brightly colored graphics that half the time you can't tell what's going on.
But for some reason people are into that sort of thing. Into it to the point of spooning fan fictions and cosplaying as their gay disney/square counterpart.
I basically hate that game and I still don't understand how that drivel got onto the market. I don't get why everyone and their mother thinks it's the second coming.
