Just even thinking about the game "Two Worlds" Really doesnt even deserve to be called a game. The lag in single player is awful crap voice acting i played it for 5 miniutes and just couldnt physically take any more. I had to burn it.

I'm going to agree with this. Portal was good, but... you know, not that good.
Ah well, each to their own I guess. Personally, as shocklingly unexpected as the ending to Episode 2 was, it surprisingly didn't linger in my mind for that long afterwards. Perhaps after one full game and two episodes, the fun of beating down the Combine with the grav gun and thier own version of the standard FPS assault rifle has started to wear a bit thin. Portal was something a little different on the other hand and despite the crushing loss of the Weighted Companion Cube (it was your only friend after all) gave me more reason to smile than Episode 2 did, which is always a bonus. Though I pity the person who picks up Portal to play it for the first time now (if there is any such person left), what with the way the whole thing has been "meme-ed" to death. Hell, when I got the game from Steam, the phrase "the cake is a lie" probably hadn't been heard outside of Aperture Labs and I drew a blank while listening to the audio commentary when it stated the little music player in your isolation room was playing an instrumental version of Still Alive. Certainly never heard of that song before. :p

Ah well, it at least looks like some portal gun based antics will be present in Episode 3, so it can't all be bad. :)

Phantasy Star Online, partially because of the atmosphere, and partially because I hate the game. The music is very slow and depressing, especially in the mines. The combat system is equally slow and depressing. You can't even switch targets in the middle of a combo, every combo uses the same attacks (some attacks just have a short delay and deal more damage), and the enemies are dumber (and in most cases, slower) than zombies.
The story goes like this: You're sent down to some planet to rescue some dude's daughter. It turns out that the person you're supposed to rescue is being used as a host for some unimpressive-looking god of destruction. Possibly because your character runs jogs and fights way too damn slowly to be able to get to her in time. Once you killed said god, the girl's soul flies out and off the screen. The End.
EDIT: 666th post about Phantasy Star Online? Well, I guess that's somewhat fitting.

When I was about 12, I played the first Hitman game. Not sure why, but I kinda felt a little depressed by around level 3, after killing dozens of NPCs. I never had trouble shooting and killing enemies before, but maybe it was the fact that I had to hear them gag while I choke them from behind, strip their body for their uniform, then dragging their naked corpse to a dark corner that made me feel really bad for them.

That was one of my milestone moments in gaming, ah the young and innocent days lol.

Playing Fallout 3. I just found Megaton, and there was this bum in front of it. His name was Micky. I thought Micky was a bother, so I ended up shooting Micky in the face. Then, mere moments after shooting him, I realized that he probably was about to ask for some food or something, and me, being a "But I might need it later" RPG player, realized I could of spared provisions for him. Then I thought about if I was the bum. I felt real depressed, so I just started walking around the wastes, singing I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, and ultimately commited suicide with a Fatman 2 hours later.

Odd experience.

I can't put the game down now, and I help the bums i see.
...sometimes....

Chrono Cross depressed me. The game was so inconceivably fantastic, and then came the ending, which was very very anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Why, Chrono Cross, do you play wit mah feelinz?!

I love Final Fantasy VII. I don't know why I quoted you but I'm too lazy to go back now...If they made a FFVII remake a PS3 exclusive I would buy a PS3. I hate myself.

FF7 Crisis Core got to me, along with Twewy

Square Enix can make a good story but no offense to the people who like them everything else is fairly lackluster, i think probably the last good FF was 6, well i quess Square Enix didnt even develop Twewy cause that was actually pretty good

I feel sorry for the people who had to animate that part.
Must have been programming through a veil of tears...
