Too Human pitty i loved the idea of it, but they had to fuck it up didn't they and most recently Alpha Protocol.
I had the same response... but I went back to it because I paid for it damn it!

Level 1 to 10 : This game sucks if I'm anything but melee focused.

level 11 to 20 : I hate this stupid unskippable death sequence. Even with the defense class I still die alot. Even the class with constant health regeneration tends to die alot.

level 21 to 30 : Did they make these levels for co-op play? Then why restrict co-op play to levels that you beat in single-play?

Levels 31 and on : Holy Spit! this game is fun to play. It only took me twenty hours hours to get this far with probably a solid third of that time spent in that death sequence.

I don't think Silicon Knights understand what the difference between play and work is.


... and in response to the OP : Other than this game, it was:
Mace Griffen bounty Hunter and the board game monopoly. The former's ship based levels pissed me off with being to darn difficult while the FPS levels being too damn easy.
The latter pissed me off when my friends and I figured out just how long we would have to play to beat each other.

Damn a ninjad question. As an avid fan of the series i have to ask why? Please give an explanation if you choose a game, its fun to see what little game mechanics are a massive "BACK TO THE STORE!" for people.

Red Faction Guerrilla. I hated it to being with, but decided to be fair and actually played it. It was horrible, I couldn't make it past the 3rd mission. Bad story, poor gameplay. It was nothing but "Blow things up! Blow things up! Hahahahah, aren't you having fun with our gimmick?!!?"

FF12, I'm a fan of the Final Fantasy but Vaan just pissed me off right away. And I have a hard time liking a game if the main character is a total douchbag with no redeeming qualities.

Yes i do feel lonley since am the only one lol.

My reasons eh alrght i'll shoot. The story was incredibly boring in half life 2. The running around then going oh no escape on the roof tops (ZZZZ) I still had hope kept playing then suddenly OHH No! headcrabs falling from the sky for no Raisin!! (is there even a reason?) I was frustrated but i kept going and what really killed it for me what really made me want to destroy the game was one moment. I had to drive this buggy in the desert or whatever you wanna call it. Now the controls and driving was terrible enough!!! and it went on forever! Then suddenly it got stuck like no joke i did everything i could it was completly stuck am like i'll just walk. I arrive and learn i can't F***** continue! because i dont have one of the worst veichicles ever! are you high! so i quit i couldnt take it. I had more fun playing a starcraft match (only 10 mins long) then playing Half life 2 or hours!.

Then what killed it for portal was all the memes and the community hyping it up.

It took a special kind of training for me to ignore vaan and never use him in my party, he seesm to flow outward around my attempts to exclude him from the game. He's level 10 while everyone else is level 49.

These are some pretty bad points, shame about the car level for you. Some mechanics matter more to some than others, i just ran through the car level so i could continue to the better ones.

Assassins Creed 2. How a game about assassins assassinating assassination targets can be so mind numbing, I do not know, but there is some real talent at Ubisoft. Though to be fair, it took me about an hour and a half to get sick of it, as opposed to 5 minutes.
That is kind of unfortunate. If you remembered in Assassin's Creed 1, you didnt actually learn everything till halfway through the game. It is the same with this one. The game is pretty boring for the first 2 hours, but once you get passed the first few Assassinations and start learning different techniques, it becomes really fun.

Commandos 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4.

Commandos 3 because I died so much on the first mission, and GTA4 because it felt so sluggish and gray.
That horrid sniper mission? That was really annoying, rest of the game is pretty good though. Not as good as the classic ones though

Alright, I'll try to justify what I can from what is decipherable from this mess of text.

Your first complaint on headcrabs makes me question your perception. You did realize they are being shelled at you right? In the form of artillery? There's your method of how they're being sent at you. From who? Well from the Combine. They know roughly where you are and instead of sending in more troops and helicopters to get you, they just fire a ton of headcrabs at you. It's worked pretty well before if the amount of zombies gives you an idea of success.

Second, I found the driving to be fine. It was not a problem at all, in fact, it was probably one of the best executed driving sections in a first person shooter. The controls were fine, and the ability to look one way and drive another was appreciated. Also, how the hell can you get the thing stuch when you have a gravity gun that can literally kick it around for you? All it needs is a few proper kicks to get it thrown somewhere else. And why didn't you just load a autosave? Would have saved you much trouble.

Question for you...did you enjoy the first Assassins Creed? Cause if you did, and didnt like the second one...i think you have a stick lodged in your brain...
I did enjoy the first one, sort of. However, it had the new and magic ingredient of "Ooh! I'm playing a real assassin! and he has cool robes! and there's a protagonist who shares my skin tone! OOH!!", and the opening of it was pretty cool. Fighting in a creepy tomb, then having a castle under siege, then jumping straight into the 'knifing people while dropping down on them' business.. then about 3 or so hours in I realized I was just doing it over and over and the coolness wore off pretty fast, never got back into it.

As opposed to the 2nd, which opened with some whiny ladies-man punching people, while getting annoyed by his older brother. Then they wanted me to race for an hour before getting to some delicious plot. Yeah, I didn't like it.

Phantasy Star Universe remake for the 360.
Horrible voice acting, repetative gameplay, and the story doesn't draw you in.
But, me being an achievement whore, I need to beat the game so I can rack up 20k Gamerscore by the time I reach 2 years on Live.
