Games that should have included an apology in the credits

[Dirty Hipsters]

Devil May Cry 4.

Sorry we stopped making the game half way through and made you just backtrack through previous levels for the last half of the game. Also sorry that we could only think of 5 boss fights for 12 levels, and made you go through each one 3 times.

 

[Panorama]

Kane and lynch 2:dog days, it was even worse then the first game and about 4 hours shorter, with some of the worst multi player going. All round terrible wished i hadn't wasted my money.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Blacksite.

Just... sorry.


Also World of Warcraft needs an apology in there somewhere for being an evil evil time-stealing bastard of a game.

 

[madwarper]

Apology? No.

Terrible games should have the guts that Ghostbusters did, and tell us that we were playing a 'great game'.

Spoiler

Conglaturation !!!

You have completed a great game.
And prooved the justice of our culture.
Now go and rest our heroes !

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and The Lost Ocean

Actually, no. No apology would be sufficient when it comes to Baten Kaitos.

That game made me hate humanity just a little bit more for our hand in creating such an unholy abomination.

I laughed and cried in utter horror and disgust while playing through that game, starting somewhere around the half-way mark.

Mind you, it was bad before that - really bad - but it gets so completely and utterly retarded the further in you get. And the ending... oh god... oh no... I just...

I... I need to go take a cold shower.

 

[SD-Fiend]

Honestly, if you made it 'till the credits, I'd say it was good enough to not require an apology. I can think of a lot of games that could need an apology in the opening sequence, however..

This. I would say Superman 64, but i don't think anyone in the whole world actually finished that game, so as already stated, an apology in the credits would have been worthless.

99% OF ALL MOVIE TIE IN GAMES

I would disagree with that, simply because anyone dumb enough to buy a movie tie-in game at this point deserves no apology. Well, maybe a "We're sorry you were stupid enough to buy this game."
I mean, seriously, there's been maybe one good movie game, ever?

Golden eye 007 best movie based game ever .

OT : Persona 1 (psp remake ) . Essensially at 3 points in the game you are aaked several questions , if you answer any of them wrong ( not giving the answer the developpers wanted ) the game will end half way through and u HAVE to start from the begining ( unless you answer the last question wrong where as u can start from your last save ).

So 'Sorry for having you need a walkthrough to know the rights answers to see the whole game , now start over and get it right this time '.

I have yet to start it over

that doesn't sound so much like something that needs an apology as it is a complete dick move in the story. you got the bad ending didn't you?

Fable 3

Hey, sorry the final boss was a lazy rehash of an earlier mini-boss.

I would rather they apologize for the quantum leap backwards they made with the socialization aspects of the game. Fable 2: Fart for the enjoyment of children everywhere. Fable 3: Fart for one person to make them hate you then complete one fetch-quest per-person who you want to be friends with.

How about Too Human?

That one needs an apology at the beginning and a $100 bill folded nicely in the manual.

---

As much as I loved KotOR 2, that one needs an apology for being unfinished. I expected to kill a bunch of HK-50's and destroy their factory but no...had to get the game out for that holiday release. I'm also going to go out and say Old Republic should include an apology in the box for being an MMO and not KotOR3 (that apology should be inscribed on the card giving 90 days worth of access to the game)

 

[Dragonforce525]

Fable 2

We know you were probably expecting a boss fight and not a speech, but we're lazy and cocaine is expensive. Our apologies.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Silent Hill Origins, it had a 'thank you' in the credits that was directed towards the fans, I felt like they left off the 'for you soul and your money' at the end.

 

[The Coop]

I few that come to mind...

Soul Fighter- A horrid, horrid Dreamcast game that suckered me in with the nice stills, yet, played, sounded and controlled beyond badly.

Sword of Sodan- A hack 'n' slash for the Genesis that looks good in screenshots, but assaults you with its piss poor qualities once you sit down to play it. The only real highlight is the opening song and some aspects of the graphics. Otherwise, controls, animation, sound effects, hit detection, gameplay, level design, enemy behavior... it's all just bad.

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing- Over the road, under the road, through the road... dear God. This game sucks so much and on so many levels, it's the closest thing to a black hole in gaming.

Firefly- An Atari 2600 game that's just... pointless. Completely and utterly pointless.

Home Improvement- How this got made into an SNES game, I really don't know. That it got put into production once it was finished, is a crime.

Total Recall- A clear-cut definition of how to take a popular action movie, and turn it into a broken mess for the NES.

F-16 Fighting Falcon- It's a flight simulator, on the Master System. Slow, odd controls, you just keep shooting at jets, virtually no real graphics to speak of... someone had to have lost their job over this thing.

 

[Febel]

Duke Nukem forever should have an apology for (AND ONLY FOR!) taking so long. It wasn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be but we're certainly owed something for how long it took.

 

[noble cookie]

final fantasy 8

I am curious to know what you disliked about it, seeing as it is my favourite game of all time.

 

[Katana314]

LA Noire. I'm not saying the game was wholly horrible, but if someone's playing through the ending, chances are they're not satisfied. You don't see many threads saying "(SPOILERS) LA Noire's ending was amazing!!!"

 

[Gromril]

I'm going to say this:

CALL OF DUTY IS FUCKING LINEAR BUT WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSOCIATE LINEARITY WITH 13?!

Nerd Rage sequence complete.


OT: Duke Nukem Forever, The last 3 CoD's, the next 3 Halo games, Halo Wars, any game with Always-On DRM, and......

Arx Fatalis with it's fickle magic system.

Why the next 3 Halo Games? THEY'RE BEING HANDLED BY THE SAME BASTARDS THAT GAVE US HALO WARS!

The "Same bastards who gave us Halo Wars" were the guys who made Age Of Empires, and were shut down after completing Halo Wars. Check your facts.

Also worth mentioning that halo wars is a passable rts, especially on a console, and the only one that wasn't a horrible port from pc as far as I can tell

 

[GrammatonCleric]

Bioshock. "We're sorry for making this game so easy a fetus could beat it, and so short that you're taking the exact same amount of time reading this apology as actually beating the game, but we were too busy devising the most forking epic game story ever."

Superman 64, Duke Nukem Forever, Action 52

For some reason, part of me wants to guess you never played Action 52 and got it from AVGN. Just like all the sheep who say ET on the 2600 is the worst game ever
I used to have Action 52 on the Megadrive and it was awful. Its different from the NES version, apart from a couple of games. The cover also has an NES controller on it for some stupid reason.
I didnt notice that until I read one of the comments on the AVGN episode I admit

I feel bad that I actually had to Google AVGN to find out what it was. I've only seen three episodes of it: Power Glove, Zelda II, and Zelda CD-I (and in all honesty, I love Zelda II).

Action 52 for the NES was quite frankly the worst thing I've ever played. I liked Superman 64 more. Actually I don't think Superman 64 was that bad, but still deserved an apology for being absolutely nothing than it could be. Also rings. Action 52 was exactly as bad as I had been told and worse. Apparently the other not-NES version was almost mediocre in quality though, but I absolutely refuse to play it after the original. They could make a new version that was forged by the greatest minds in the world and made it rain gold when you beat it, and I still might not play it. Ok, I would, but it gets the point across.

 

[Vrex360]

These are apologies I like to pretend are owed to me for things that happened in games I love that still piss me off.
I do however admit that I actually have no right to demand an apology whatsoever, they made the games, all I did was sit on my couch and eat chips.
But I'm about to enter my own little fantasy world where everyone knows to fear and respect the Mighty Vrex. So let's get started:

Halo 3:
We apologize from the bottom of our heart for pushing the Arbiter to a secondary role even though he made for the better protagonist then the Masterchief. We also apologize for giving the Elite players less armor choices, instead opting to pander to the weak and pitiful Spartans... all of whom, you just killed.
We good?

Mass Effect 2:
Oh great and mighty Vrex, to whom we are but ants stepping in his shadow, we apologize greatly for only giving your favorite female character (Ashley Williams) one scene and an email, during which she yells at you.
We promise she will return in full swing in Mass Effect 3. Now please, stop aiming your plasma rifle at my testicles!

Batman Arkham Asylum:
We are sorry that Killer Croc's boss battle was so shitty, especially in light of the fact that we hyped it up like there was no tomorrow.

Psychonauts:
Wish it be known that everyone responsible for the Meat Circus level have been sacked.

Prototype:
I'm sorry that we had all these crazy gameplay abilities but made the missions so standard and uninspired.

Bulletstorm:
Sorry about that whole cliffhanger thing.

 

[Racecarlock]

Need for speed prostreet: Sorry I give your opponents magical speed boosts so you lose quick races even on easy difficulty. Sorry you got me for one of your christmas presents instead of GTA combined with burnout game Wheelman like you really wanted.

Alone in the dark: Sorry I only give you small and uncontrollable axes and chair legs to fight off crazy mutants with. Also everything else except fire.
