Games that you thought sucked as opposed to everyone else.

Supreme Commander 2 is the weirdest mix of love it/hate it for me. I actually really like some of the gameplay changes, like having more experimentals, actually being able to get them out without a super-economy that took two hours to build, being able to put shield generators and towers on factories, the new ferry system, and I prefer the research tree to the tier system. That being said, my god, almost everything else is really weak. The campaign was terrible, I couldn't stand the characters. Having only seven land units, 4 air units and 8 naval units for each faction (cept for the Aeon, who got their naval units cut entirely; why, exactly?) really toned down the gameplay for me, and removing buildings like the quantum gateway didn't help either. The game unfortunately just screams 'designed for console'(nothing wrong with that, but this is Supreme Commander, I want like forty unit options per faction) and the PC version suffers horribly for it.snowplow said:
My former roommates clocked 19 days of gameplay on it from its release til April. It's pretty obvious why they kept playing it, the combat is fairly simple and reactionary, and that's it. They would get stoned and play it for at least four or five hours a day, but the game is designed so that anyone can get into it very quickly. Of course the novelty wears off pretty fast, but guessing from most of the people on Xbox Live (I said most, not all) the people who play it don't want any kind of intelligent storytelling or gameplay, they just want to shoot Russians in the face.GameOverGoblin said:
X-men origins: wolverine was fucking badass, all my friends who play it say it sucked idk why. It's the only x-men game where you can fly down from the atmosphere and fly through a sentinels head like a god damn torpedo blowing it up
Never actually played any FF games, so that only half counts. Apart from that, i'm pretty conventional in my tastes.
Anytime a game introduces either (this really only applies to FPS and TPS, but more and more RPG lately):
A) A stupid "sit here and shoot things with this big gun" See RE5, Dead Space, etc. I freaking hate that. Ruins the momentum.
B) Annoying little creatures that disproportionately drain your health. See the stalkers in Dead Space, those crabs in Half-Life, etc. It serves as nothing more than a cheap scare, like when they open the closet in a "horror" film and a body falls out.
These don't make me hate the game, but I immediately lose a lot of respect for it. I love Dead Space, but those damn turret sections have got to go. Believe it or not, I do like quick time events. . .please don't hit me.
Games I really didn't like that everyone did, though? Army of Two (both), Gears of War (both). Any game that relies on you working with a partner piss me off. I am a duck and cover tactical gamer. I set up ambushes and I strive to catch enemies in cross fire. Most of my other XBL friends seem to be run-n-gunners. So, I die more with a friend than with an NPC. The problem is when it comes to solving puzzles with an NPC. Stupid Sheva.

Bioshock. Everybody said, "You'll love it, it's great. It's short and too easy, but you'll love it." So, I played it on hard and it was a complete nightmare. Switching it back to medium was no fun either. Straight boring corridor shooter with limited ammo, half assed RPG elements, and endless turrets and pipe puzzles. Great art design does not make a good game.
There's a lot of games that got horrible reviews and friends told me were crap that I thought were works of art (Mirrors edge for example)
But Gta IV, which got 10/10 on many sites and that most of my friends recommended for me, was just bland and boring.

Dragon Age: Origins. I forced myself through 2-3 hours of boring combat, boring walking around, and boring dialouge. The whole game was boring to me. Also, this might just be me being stupid, but it took me forever to find where ever I was supposed to go. There didn't seem to be any sort of marking on the mini-map hinting towards where I was going so I would have to wander around aimlessly until I found what I was looking for.
Yeah, you uh, you did this one backwards. Although, I agree 100% with you. Are you kidding? I play as an invincible blood thirsty hero? And he is *actually* invincible and blood thirsty?! YES PLEASE! And the pure unadulterated, shameless slaughter of guards is what games should be. I can not get enough of this game.Snapekillsdumbledore said:
Gears of War (both of them). The characters move so slow, and when I try to run, the camera jumps up and down making me dizzy. People like to say how gory that game is, but just how in the hell are you supposed to use the chainsaw on your gun? You basically have to go up in the face of someone who is SHOOTING AT YOU! And that stereotypical black character who has such memorable lines like "Why can't we just cut our way out this *****?" Seriously?
Oh, and the ENTIRE Grand Theft Auto franchise. The gaming world could have survived without it.
