Games That Could Have Been Amazing

[fenrizz]

In the spirit of Yahtzee, I'm gonna say Duke Nukem Forever.

Also GTA4 and Oblivion.

Also GTA4

Ugh GTA4, what went wrong between San Andreas and the mess that is GTA4. I was hoping if ignored it, don't play it or think about it it was going to remove itself from my shelf then burn itself in a corner all on it's own....but it won't.

I do the same thing...
How could you, Rockstar? Why would you betray us like this?
*sobs in the corner*

I know *sniffles*
It took all the fun out of it and made the game really like YOU MUST DO THIS OTHERWISE YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ELSE.
And what was the driving everybody backward and forward about? I'm not a taxi driver.

I like your DP/Icon/Avatar/Thingymibob btw.

Yeah, I know. I suspect that they are very, very evil and planned this all along!
I feel so violated... *sobs*

You likes me lolcat?
Thank you very much

Daikatana, hehe.

LOTR Conquest... If you've played it then you know why it sucks. Never buy it unless you're a hardcore fan. Sauron is just plain weak in that game, one backstab and it's all over for you.

=.= They probably did. They knew people would buy it considering how amazing the previous ones had been. I'll be more wary of GTA games in the future.
& Yeah the lolcat does amuse me xD

Spore, Mercs 2, Assassin's Creed, GTA IV

Mass effect. If it had just been less indecisive in regards to it's combat system then I would have enjoyed it much more. Not a bad game by any stretch, but I felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as it could have been.

You and me both, although my gripes with the game were less about the combat and more about how shallow and under developed the story was.

 

[Parallel Streaks]

Overlord. I liked most of it, but more customisation wouldn't have hurt, and, oh yes, CLEAR ROUTES TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO! It took me three hours to work out that damn Forest place. >.>

Actually any game can be amazing, the developer actually has to work at it though. One that stands out in my mind is Pokemon Colosseum, except the decided to make it a super serious story instead of like the handhelds.

 

[colo24]

I think zeno clash could of been a great game but the story is so up its arse and the combat was so repetitive, I mean the combat was fun but its so repetitive and you have to fight too many people at one time I just didn't bother

I had those issues with the game as well. It didn't seem deserving of the praise it got, there was a lot of information in the codex but so little of it carried over into the game world.

 

[Zetona]

Far Cry 2. It was a very good game, in my opinion, and was definitely much better than average. However, it could have been great if...YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK ACROSS THE ENTIRE F****** CONTINENT OF AFRICA EVERY F****** TIME YOU WERE TOLD TO GO BLOW SOMETHING UP!!!!

Ubisoft..I have 2 words for you....FAST TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Far Cry 2 is my pick too, though I was hoping for a more immersive and dynamic world with non-enemy NPCs more than anything else. As it was, the world didn't quite feel alive, and with the rather weak story it just wasn't as compelling as I had hoped it would be.
