Hm. Where do I begin?

GoW (any of them)
Is this Gears of War or God of War?

I loved the God of War games but I tried playing Gears 1 and I got bored.
Its gears. I dont have a Play station, anything, so I've never played any god of war game. They do look really interesting though

Call of duty. I would buy this game to frisbee it off a cliff, and watch the fan-boys go chase it off. I never realised what's so good about it. I've never played it and never will. All my best friends give it bad reviews too. One even said it took absolutely no skill, and by the sounds of it, it doesn't. In a game where people can spawn, knife an unsuspecting sucker then jump around with everyone trying to headshot them until the time runs out to win by a rather hollow 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 victory, it really needs to be rethought (Or burned). (By the way, the first time one of my friends played "CoD" the aforementioned happened to him.)
You shouldn't hate something without trying it first, makes you seem like a douche. That being said, your friends are pretty much right. Lots of spraying, and the guns kill you in 2-4 bullets. Honestly, that is probably the easiest shooter on the market to pick up and do well at.

Portal and Half-Life 2 are incredibly overrated.

And Twilight Princess, while a decent game, was a terrible Zelda game.

Minecraft - Its lego for adults.

Left 4 Dead - Lets play the same few short levels with no story or sense of progression, over and over and over and over and... I love Valve but this is the worst thing they have ever done.

All survival horror games - Hey, if we make the controls really shitty with a terrible inventory system, but focus on making the atmosphere good, we can call it survival horror, blow off for lunch, and people will love it!

Almost all RPGs ever, including all MMOs. - Combat isnt engaging, exciting, or fun even on the most basic level. Normally it's either maths equasions turned into a sluggish turn-based fighting system, or heavily stat based requiring no actual combat skill. Morrowind gets a special mention here because I'm tired of people praising such a clunky inintuitive mess of a game. Want to know how to make a good RPG? Look at The Witcher and Mass Effect 2.

Deus Ex - Also a clunky inintuitive mess.

Halo - Celebrated mediocrity.

Far Cry - After the majority of your enemies became Aliens rather than human the game became an absolute bore fest because they weren't fun to fight. Crysis 2 had a similar problem.

*breathes a sigh*

That was good to let out. Now back to being my happy self :)

I don't hate them, but I can't say I like any Valve games.

A game series I do hate though is Gears of War. The armour design is just too horrible for my eyes to bear, the voice acting is irritating, the "sad" sections are too forced, the cover system is used way too much, the armour design is horrible, the story is boring and uninteresting, the game just doesn't look good and the armour design is horrible (I think I already said that).

WoW and Call of Duty games. I wouldn't say I hate them but I certainly don't see the appeal even after playing both. Oh and MGS4.

Red Dead Redemption: lets play a series of mini games over and over where the mini games in question require you to do nothing more than press A to win. Yay!
Ugh, I did NOT like Red Dead Redemption. I want my money back for the time I wasted on it. There aren't a lot of games I didn't like that I've played..

Okay I'll bite.
- All CoD games.
- All Halo games.
- BioShock.

There are others that I would probably hate if I tried them (WoW, for example) but as I've not tried them I won't list them as hated.

Painkiller: Physics so bad you'll die from stepping on a box. Sucky AI. Flow breaking collectable elements. Lack of weaponry. Crap menus system. Crap story. Just overall a glorifed turd with no redeaming qualities.
Yet, I have this bizarre feeling you like Call of Duty.
Nope. Part of the reson I feel so let down by Painkiller is because I love this type of game. I'm a big 90s FPS fan (Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Duke3D, Blood, Strife, Unreal, etc.) and have played way too much Serious Sam. But this game is just poor. Any game where I can walk across a room and be flung into the air, even outright killed, by stepping a piece of broken crate just plain sucks.

Umm I'm pretty sure you don't shoot with "A". Anyways, most of the minigames are avoidable unless you are going after outfits.

OT: Definitely all of the Halo games. Didn't impress me at all. Just another sci-fi shooter...
well, the story gets pretty repetitive in what happens. and once you get the first rifle, you have basically unlocked every gun in the game. everything else is just a spinoff on the first guns, 'cept maybe the last pistol you get. not to say i didn't like it, i just got to mexico, got bored, let my bro play it, and when he beat it i felt i didn't need to play it anymore since nothing really that new happened.

and halo was the first sci-fi shooter, and the other games in the series (save halo wars) added a couple new things, but were more or less ripoffs of the original, which was what most people think as the best. (also enjoy all the halo games, but they just aren't THAT different when ya get down to it)

do not get why black ops gets so much praise. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed modern warfare, but the story in black ops, it was just... calmer. the sound editing made everything seem almost empty except for when you shot at someone (or maybe mine was just glitched), and the multiplayer is essentially the same, but with older, crappier, guns and a couple new toys.



Eh, you are right about the story being repetitive after you get to Mexico, but I still don't see what Djinn8 meant about pressing "A" ("X" for PS3) to complete every minigame...?

Anyways, how do you feel about L.A. Noire coming out next month?
haven't given it much attention. wasting my time enough looking at swtor and duke nukem and these escapist threads when i should be doing homework. (fuck high school. seriously)

The reason I haven't tried Call of Duty is the same reason I haven't stuck knifes into my testicles and sung the whole of "Friday" backwards in falsetto; because I would find it time wasting, agonizing, and plain unexciting; And yes, I do sound like a douche.

Halo and WoW. Halo just seems like another bland shooter like CoD and Modern Warfare and WoW is like Dungeons and Dragons but online. So I'm not even the least bit interested in either game.
Halo (the first one) was new for its day. It basically combined all the little innovations from a bunch of different shooters into the same game for the first time. It was also the first example of a shooter that really felt at-home on the console (come at me, Goldeneye fans) And after that just rode on its popularity for the rest of the series. I can definitely see why people don't see much in it now.

I gotta assume you're trolling on the WoW comment though. Or just don't actually know what Dungeons and Dragons is.
Trust me, I have no clue what Dungeons and Dragons is except what my friend says about it and from what he describes, it sounds like WoW you play offline.
