Games you knew your going to hate at the start screen.

I forget the exact name of the game... Nanotech or something similar for the ps2. Worst game I ever played. I couldn't drag myself past the first 20 minutes. And it all started at the tittle screen.

Luckily for me, I didn't actually buy the game. It was a christmas present.

The first Two Worlds, Tomb Raider: Underworld, and Mod Nation Racers. All three were traded in to Gamestop at some time or another to help contribute to the purchase of an actual good game.

Two Worlds became a $25 gift card that helped me buy Assassin's Creed.

Tomb Raider was traded in with a few other games which I can't remember that went towards the purchase of Dante's Inferno and Darksiders and since at a later date Darksiders led to a free copy of Red Faction Guerrilla it also helped me acquire that. (I don't care what anyone says I enjoyed the shit out of both those games, still need to unwrap Red Faction)

Lastly, Mod Nation Racers covered the sales tax on my copy of AC2:Brotherhood.

I only trade in games I dislike because I feel it's almost poetic that a bad games goes to helping me acquire a good one. That being said it's rare I trade in games because I hardly ever dislike a game enough to trade it in.

Frequently when I see the words "Press Start". On a PC game. Frequently means "shoddy console port. Plug in controller to have fun"

Yeah, PC elitists were making a huge fuss over it on the Crysis 2 site and other forums. Well, I'm a PC gamer too and I thought also that it would be a port from the consoles but at least it won't look as ridiculous on the 360 or PS3 if it said click MB1. Still, if only Crytek had the common courtesy of just changing 2 words.

'PC elitists' is the default name given to pc gamers these days?

Anyway. About the entire 'press start' thing. I think it is more an indicative that Crytek practically hasn't given two shits about the PC market. The port is badly done, graphic settings are dumbed down to a minimum, controls are frustratingly console-adapted and we don't even get DX11 at release.

All this after they promised 'PC would get extra care'.

This is in Crytek's defence but think about what EA is trying to use Crysis 2 & Bulletstorm to compete with. They are essentially being forced to immediately go up against Call of Duty which tends to be strongest on consoles. If their jobs were on the line it only makes sense for them to try to make the console versions as good as possible. Now to change stances I fully bet that Crytek will easily regret neglecting the PC version at launch and try to support it as much as it can in the future. Of course this is all just my opinion.
(Side note I haven't used either version of the Crysis 2 demo but since I didn't beat the original Crysis I can't do much comparing.

Assassin's Creed 2. 'Based on historical events'. Bullshit.
