Battlefield: Bad Company
brilliant multiplayer game i never understood why people hated it so much. Just because it is Battlefield doesn't mean it has to be Battlefield 2 again, things change.

I agree with this, the game wasn't brilliant but for some reason i just couldn't stop playing itSimalacrum said:
I'll say it again the Sonic Adventure Series has its moments, the potential is still there...somewhere.

DMC4; story's crap, levels are linear (and literally repetative = you play the first levels all again in reverse), Dante has been made awful (purely in comparison to Nero), Voice acting poor, not exactly the most likeable characters, irritating "puzzles" and jumping sequences
However all of of that vanishes the instant you blow up an enemy with fully charged pistol rounds, get a SSS ranking for your style or the that pure joy at surviving a level of Dante Must Die Difficulty

Hearts of Iron 2. Still more bugs than anyone can shake a stick at, inconsistent AI and some horrible ways for the AI to cheat to "keep it fair". Still, I love it to death.

FFX-2, yes I had to have it on mute since the dialogue was poor (and the script I had in my head was a lot more interesting, it also works with Mean Girls but that's another story) and the story was weak, and the gameplay was nothing special.
But it was an FF game, and I was going to complete it

So...save scumming? I'd rather play a game where you don't have to do that.Jenova65 said:There's this little tactic I like to employ called 'save before playing pazaak'! ;-)Nigh Invulnerable said:Even though the computer is a cheating bastard?Jenova65 said:Lol!

I still love it to bits too.
I spent ridiculous amounts of time just swinging around and jumping off high buildings.Hubilub said:
It's a pity that the game was a bit shallow other than that.
I think EVE Online qualifies in that category. There is a lot of potential, and at times it's awesome. But for the most part, it's an animated spreadsheet. You just have to stare at it for long enough to catch that intermittent interval of awesomeness. The rest of the time, you can, well, chat, and revere the idea that awesome things could happen, if you were to stare for a long enough time.
But all the same, the incredible level of minute detail, the humour and the plain passion that has gone into a one-man army development process - there is so much jewel that once you start touch-typing the interface and enjoy losing before lag from the 5100 slow path-finding routines for every other flop sets in, it earns a permanent place among the classics.
Between the messy interface, absolute lack of gameplay direction, superfluous functions and performance issues - yeah, there are plenty of flaws.Grigorius said:

I think No More Heroes fits the bill of flawed beauty perfectly. The graphics are rough, the overworld that comprises half of the game is a tedious grindfest, and the combat is borderline repetitive at times. However, the bizarre nature of the game and its characters coupled with the over-the-top deaths and fun motion controls make it a special kind of awesome.
