Hello forum I'm new here and stuff
Welcome. :D I'm relatively new here, as well. Thanks for posting in my thread first, I guess.

Publishes can also use it to see what the public wants(or doesn't), although that isn't always a sign of quality, unfortunately.
Very true. In the case of my Mary-Kate and Ashley games example a few pages back, these games seem to serve more as fan-service gone wrong. They certainly learned their lesson with that after...3-4 games.

But still, I don't believe that creating games for the sake of seeing if it works and appeals to the audience (and for science :D) is a great incentive to make a game. I think it should always aim to actually be good for the sake of getting money's worth. Games should always aim to be good.

I'm surprised no one's yet mentioned Metroid: Other M. What, are all of the other Wii owners still asleep?
oh god you are right. metroid other m was just a travesty. i fear it'll be years until i buy the next metroid that comes out.(unless the reviews are favorable. and its not made by misogynists.)
I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw another Prime game in the first couple of years of Wii U's existence. The head of Retro has said that he wouldn't hesitate if Nintendo offered, and no one knows what they're up to right now.

The real shame is that some of the story was compelling, and I'd like to see a sequel, if only one that retconned much of Other M's sorry excuse for a story. Finding out that some of the higher ups within the holy Federation are genetically engineering these things for weapons? Potential! Zero suit potential! Stealth elements potential!
I thought Metroid Other M came before Metroid Fusion so it already has a sequel

And I honestly can't thing of any game actually bad enough to not exist, maybe Knight in the Nightmare that was a bad game, maybe even FF13 but the gameplay was okay so i don't see a point in complaining.

Dino Crisis 3

It was supposed to be about Regina and dinosaurs in modern times. They put it in space, took out Regina, and removed all the dinosaurs. What the flying fuck was Capcom thinking?

It's basically the Alien 3 of video games.

I've seen opinions like that regarding the first arc of the new Higurashi anime series.

On topic: Red Alert 3. As far as I'm concerned, they completely ruined the Allies and the only good part of that game was the Empire of the Rising Sun.
can i just ask why? i love red alert 3, i loved the campaign, i loved the allies the most, the empire of the rising sun was the faction i most disliked, because i felt they had only 2 strategies, shogun battleship sea dominion, or chopper VX early spam.
I think it was the game's style that put me off; it seemed a bit too colourful and loopy compared to Red Alert 2. Maybe I was too harsh saying I thought they ruined the Allies, but their units and support powers just seemed worse than the other two factions. That, and I missed my prism tanks :p.

Kindom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, was not a KUF game at all, some sort of shoddy like game thing that doesnt deserve an opinion, a review, or for anyone to ever play it again... ever. Im serious dont get it.
Hold on a second, I enjoyed it, it has good replay value and it's fun to make super weapons. If you prefer the older games, that's fine, but don't get bitchy about it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play KUF:COD.

I agree with missing the prism tanks, and yes it wasnt as dark as red alert 2, but the gameplay was smooth, i loved the new mirage tanks, i liked how every unit had a support power aswel as its main function, to me added more strategy to the game, i did like the coolness of the japanese faction, but to me it was everything they had that felt weaker than the other 2.

I could literally write pages on all the aspects of red alert 3 i like, on how each of the factions compare to each other, in each stage of technology, why i would pick each faction and strategies i would use to win, and probably a strategy for each game map, ye i overplayed that game, and on the Xbox aswel, i found the controls really easy to use, and went really well with the controller. I know alot of people would argue with RTS on the consoles but i found it easier to use on the xbox than my laptop, oddly enough, and if i must be honest the best rts/rpg ish game i ever played was on a console and it was kingdom under fire.

Also which support powers didnt you like? the time bomb was the strongest of all support powers, the added airforce power was awsome, freezing was extremely useful in combination with the surgical strike to kill buildings/a few tanks instantly.

And when it comes to units
Peacekeepers>Imperial soldiers>conscripts
Attack dogs=bears> scout drones
Rocket men>flak troopers vs aircrat<flak vs tanks and flakShinobi> Tesla troopers
Tanya>Natasha>Yuriko vs buildings
Natasha>Yuriko>Tanya Vs long range enemies
Tanya>Yuriko>Natasha Vs infantry swarms

Sorry il end it there, i could go on all day but you get my idea, im not saying your opinion is wrong im just showing how i formed my opinion of the factions =]

Well thats your opinion and fair enough, i wish they hadnt called it a KUF game though, yes it used the same characters but thats like picking up C&C5 Kanes vengence and finding out now your playing a FPS as kane, yes it could be a great game to someone but C&C fans generally would be expecting an RTS, as i was with Circle of Doom, i played 2 hours of it, realised i wasnt going to be able to play it like the old KUF games, and if i wanted a game like that id have bought dynasty warriors, same gameplay style but better games IMO.

Captcha: ruin allowed :/ is that a sign?

Ultima IX. Shrink the huge world to the size of a small island, remove any sense of a companion system, turn the main character into a brain-dead moron, and ignore all the plot that was hinted at in the last 3 games.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - Marked the end of the era that was the 'Vania' part of the 'Metroidvania' genre.

Metroid: Fusion - See above. They almost came back from this with Zero Mission, then the Metroid Prime games, but then the same guy ended up in charge of Metroid and gave us the all-around sucktastic "Other M."

Jak II - The first game was a fun, if uninspired platformer in the vein of the old Spyro games. Jak II and III are more like "Grand Theft Auto: Furry"

Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance - Oh dear gods, the pain. Take everything that made the original Final Fantasy Tactics great, throw it away, and replace it with a nice, wet, fragrant bowel movement: furries and the stupid law system.

I'm going to have to go with Battlefield Play4Free.

I'm not hating on it because it's a F2P with all of the problems that come with those.

It just doesn't have the feel of a finished game to me, maps are glitchy at best, run animations seem....off, and the weapons are a bit on the misunderstood weapon side.

Every Sonic game after the master system.. apart from Colours. I love Sonic Colours. I wish Limbo didn't exist either, it's so horribly awesome I simply have to play it at least once a day.

Nitpickery. Just because a game boy advance game exists doesn't mean there won't (or shouldn't) be any more Metroid games.

Now I don't know about LoI...I mean, sure, it wasn't like the Castlevania games before it, but it was definitely a fun, solid action game. Of course, this is just my opinion.

And I agree with Tactics: Advance. That game was blasphemy.

And I believe that IF the CD-I Zelda games actually existed (I'm a Zelda fan and they DO NOT EXIST! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS! :D) then they should not exist and thus should be scratched from the annuls of history.

Oblivion, that unimmersive, bland, bug ridden piece of... well, waste of money that is.
Only way to make it even remotely enjoyable is by heavy modding.
Of all the games to choose... that's easily my favorite game of all time. And won Game of the Year. And is considered by many as, along side Mass Effect, the best RPG in the last decade.


I'd say, every Fable after Fable: Lost Chapters, Crysis 2, the single player sides of Bad Company 1 and 2, and Every COD after 4.
What is wrong with the single player of the BC games? I found them quite enjoyable, if anything, it only adds to the total amount of time I have spent having fun with those two games

And if they hadn't A) Slapped the Castlevania name on it and B) Stopped making Metroidvanias altogether, I'd agree with you. On its own, it was a passable, even enjoyable, game. But what it set into motion for the series is unforgivable.

And all of the Metroid Prime games come before Super Metroid. Making the games out-of-sequence is nothing new for Nintendo (just look at what they did to Zelda!)
