Lost Odyssey was far better than any other 360 game I've played recently. o_O It was very well balanced. Reminded me a lot of Legend of Dragoon and old school FF. And if you can honestly think that either of those were bad, you're a total noob who has no taste in gaming. Yea, it's not everybody's type of game, but that doesn't mean it's not good. By far one of the best 360 games i've played so far imo.

Oblivion and Army of Two are utterly anathema to me. I didn't like either by the tenth minute, and they only got worse. At least I could stop Oblivion when it became too much; my idiot friend forced me to see Ao2 all the fucking way through because he just had to get the achievements for it.

before a few weeks ago I would also have said combat arms. so horrible, but I didn't have enough money for anything else at the time.

Okay, New day, new topic:
Games that occasionally scare the scones out of you.
I only have this problem when, on Call of Duty, I turn around when a German yelled behind me and starts melee attacking me. Seriously startles me right there.

This happens to me sometimes. Trying to make myself justify a purchase by forcing my like to it. I could return the game, but that's not always a viable option (geographical inconvenience).

Uh, I guess one time in Counter-Strike: Source I was on office in a little corner looking down the hallway. It was one on one, so everything was silent. Then, out of nowhere I turned around and there was a guy standing right behind me with an Ak and he blew me away. It scared the living crap out of me, as it did everyone else in the server.

Also, once on Left 4 Dead on the subway part on Expert, close to the end, when someone saw a witch, so everyone had to turn their flashlights off. One guy was dead, so it was up to me, a really good guy, and a noob. I walked up some stairs when I heard a Tank. I started freaking out and ran backwards and the pro was yelling at me, "Get a sniper! It's the best thing to kill a Tank!" So I ran backwards shooting at the tank with an M1A1 and he's yelling "NO! Use the sniper!!" Since the witch was around and it was dark, I could barely see where I was going. I turned around and saw the pro knocked to the ground by the Tank and his last words were, "No, don't worry about me, I'm dead. Go get the sniper rifle!" So, yeah, I high tailed it out of there. On my way down the hallway, the noob was standing there. I told him to move and he tried, but the Tank got him, too. I ran down that hallway as fast as I could and got the sniper rifle and started shooting. I was walking away as fast as I could, but the Tank was really fast. Eventually, I was backed into a corner and killed.

I downloaded it onto my psp -.- But yea.. Fable 2 for some reason, I don't really see why it's any fun, it's kindof annoying but oddly addicting..

I forced my way through lost odyssey.

Even by JRPG standards, it's so bad. It's like someone distilled the worst of the worst out of every JRPG and stuck it on a disc. Playing through it is akin to having electrodes attached to your eyelids while gorillas with razor strap-ons have their way with your bodily orifices. But I was stupid enough to listen to someone's advice that branded the thing BEST GAME EVAR, so I forced myself to play through the thing, including the stupid downloadable expansion, so that I learn my lesson and never listen to other people's advice again
I liked that game until you met those two kids.
I loved the social dynamic between the three characters you had until that point.
It was relatively witty and amusing. I thought I was in for the next Shadow Hearts.
But as soon as those two kids happened, the cliche train rolled on in and everything went to hell.

In addition to LO, GTA4 fits that description for me very well. Didn't care about the characters, the sandbox elements were plain, especially compared to San Andreas. The whole going out with friends/dating thing was just atrocious. And there was never an interesting area, really. It was plain New York-esque district 1-5. No variety at all. The main story was predictable and uncompelling, yet I pressed through because I thought something interesting might happen; but it never did.

Games that I hated but played anyway? I hated Final Fantasy VIII, but I played almost all the way through it because I couldn't believe that the game that came after VII could be so terrible.

Games that scare the shit out of me every now and then? Well, I've been playing Thief recently, and I've jumped out of my seat a couple of times when I get seen by a guard behind me who I didn't know was there.

I recently had this experience with Storm of Zehir. I don't really like the game, I just forced my way through it so I could see the end. The ending was awful. Yet I'm tempted to make up a new party and give it another shot.

Sonic Heroes.
At first I thought hey this is pretty cool...
Then I slowly realised how out-dated its lives and lack of health bar was...
Then I realised that the level design was pretty poor...
Then I realised that the gameplay (I think thats the right word) pretty much sucked.
I managed to finish the game with the easiest team as it was quite nice-looking and there was the odd quite cool bit.
However despite the fact that it offered four different paths as there were for different teams I soon realised that this was a blatant line and it actually meant 4 difficulty settings, with slight differences made.
