Hmmm... Mass Effect is a game that I absolutely love, and have finished several times, despite the texture pop-in, elevator rides and repetitive sidequests.


There are also some games I like mostly for nostalgia/fanboyism reasons, that I'd rather not disclose.

Seeing so many people say they hate the way that the texture arrives on a planet just after you do, I have come to the conclusion that I must be the ONLY person who actually quite likes it, I think it is an interesting effect.
For me a flawed game that I enjoy is ANY game that puts in random game elements that don't 'fit', with that genre - Like one bit of difficult platforming in a turn based RPG (type of thing) Or say you have to win a race in a game (think KOTOR) to further the story but you suck at racing (I can do this race, but can't do any of the others in the game, as I can't be bothered to keep failing at it to get better + it isn't what I pick the game up for)

Really? I found the racing quite easy. I'm not taking the piss out of you or anything.

OT:probably Mirrors Edge. It was repetitive but I liked te style and the combat.

It's not to bad when you get to planets, but when there's a close-up of someone, it looks pretty bad. And I just thought that the textures got there after you because they couldn't travel faster than light.

Anyway, that game could make my controller burst into flames and I'd probably still play it.

Look, we all suck at something, I am honest and I suck at FPS's and those racing sections in KOTOR, so I'm not offended :) I could Pazaak most people's coat off their backs though, lol!

I hear you on that, it can do no wrong, and I even liked the Mako tbh, I liked that it was impossible to turn it over and wreck it while exploring, which I totally would have done, but for that.........

ObsCure had rather standard gameplay, nothing that innovative.

Also, Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories and Digimon World, and Digimon Rumble Arena. I still like them okay?! They're outdated, terrible in comparison to what we have today, but I love them damn it!
