Games you're tired of hearing praise for?

Mass Effect 2

I-Its...just.....how?...just how was this game any good? The gameplay was repeative, again, repeative. The chat options pissed me off couple of times. Story was basic bioware rehush. The AI was bad. It gave me points if I took mean or goodyshoe action....and then it hit me in the face at the end if I was acting too mean...and that scar...why? Everything felt like plastic(?) Tubes, every damn map was an TUBE!! with covers!!!. And when you werent one with the tube, you were rewarded with treasure chest..

But ofcourse. Im just being biased because the first thing that I did when I realized that the camera was following me behind my left shoulder, was to put it on a test and see if the gunfire was coming from my actual gun OR from the camera behind me. Guess which one was it....I WAS UNTOUCHABLE ALMOST THRU THE WHOLE DAMN GAME!!!

AND I HATE THAT FREAKING HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT TRUCKIER WITH HES BASEBALL CAP!!! ...he weared that cap only just to mock me..damn you..

MW/CoD/Black Ops. Yay-bland-shooter-now-shut-up.

WoW. We've been through this shit. Cata won't save the fact that it's still WoW. Make something fresh already damnit.

Portal. The cake is a lie. Haha- shut up.

Halo. See MW.

TF2. In my eyes, it's pretty much a gimmick to toy with every now and then. These weapons and hats that Valve so obsesses about grinded the game down to crap. Add trading to that, and, well.. TFRPG. Woohoo. -.- If only they'd make 'vanilla' TF2 servers or something...

God of War. Brick roll with many pebbles behind it.

Smash Bros. Brawl. Same as melee, fat sweat-flowing tourneyfags meeting up to prove who can jump higher. ... Fox only. Final Destination.

Minecraft. I just... I don't get it. People really find this fun?

SW:TOR. It didn't come out and it annoys me already. That's a record.

Duke Nukem Forever. See above.

Portal. It was a three hour first person puzzle game that had a funny premise. I get it. it was funny. Shut up now.

Um... is this a bad time to glare pointedly at your avatar?

This game is basically only amazing because of all of the community support and mods that it has. It's not really the game that should be getting all of the praise, but rather the game's loyal community which churns out all of this content for it. Give the people the respect they deserve!

It's not all about the gameplay and content. Morrowind is a paragon of storytelling world-building, atmosphere and sheer originality. It is one of the strongest arguments for videogames as art.

Uh, he didn't hate his Dad he hated the fact he couldn't be as good as him. Have you finished the game? The last thing you see is Tidus giving his dad a
five. Ofcourse he's self-absorbed, he wants to be his Dad who is self-absorbed himself. Wakka was awesome, he was supposed to be a Jamacan or something hence his accent. And Seymour is not the worst FF villain, especially if you count FFXIII, his flamboyant nature comes from the fact that he was ignored as a child so he wants to be acknowleged.

First, I understand the hatred towards his father as on a more personal level as just wanting to imitate him. Even if he's meant to be self-absorbed that's no less a reason to hate him. Wakka came across more as Hawaiian to me, oddly. Whatever he was, Jamaican was not my first thought.

I appreciate that you have your own opinion, but sorry, whatever you say about FFXIII's villain, Seymour was worse. Just because he has a Freudian Excuse does not mean he's any less stupid.

None, I don't allow myself to get annoyed by people who like a certain game or games.

I mean, what is the point in getting so pissed off? I might as well enjoy my time playing something I enjoy instead of getting pissed off because so and so loves _______.

 

[amazinglettera]

Kingdom Hearts...c'mon, enough already,

 

[WittyInfidel]

Mostly Portal, it was a great game and I really enjoyed it, but surely we should have gotten over it by now.

I'm not even gonna comment on ODST or Halo Wars. Played 'em, hated 'em. And could care less about the multiplayer.

I hate to be 'That guy' but what does that even mean? It's "Couldn't care less" meaning that you care so little it is impossible for you to care even less. Could care less surely means that you do already care?

Yeah, was supposed to be "couldn't", but a typo demon seems to have eaten my contraction. Ah, the perils of Halloween... =P

 

[Tdc2182]

Call of duty modern warfare 1 and 2 hands down.

Dont kid yourself. No one ever says that game is good.

-black opps,

Really? You are tired of hearing praise for the game that has not yet come out?

 

[Atmos Duality]

Halo is your run and gun high speed shooter (which i personally don't like)

I could not read that without breaking out laughing.
So I do apologize.

But seriously. Halo is NOT "fast" except maybe by console standards.

You want a "fast" shooter? Try any of the older Unreal, Quake or Tribes series.
Hell, even the original Counterstrike is faster than Halo.

Final Fantasy 7

Sry about that double post

 

[DarkRyter]

Pokemon Red and Blue.

I'm a huge pokemon fan, and I feel that the originals are extremely overrated. It was unpolished, unbalanced, and most of all, really really ugly. Jesus, have you seen those sprites? To imagine Charizard once looked like a donkey frightens me.

That's why I will always assert that first gen is worst gen.

 

[Nemesis729]

Bioshock
Halo 3 and on
Assassins creed 2

 

[ethaninja]

BioShock
surprised no one else had said it yet, idk why, everyone is like "so awesome" i just couldnt get into it, it felt too rushed, like i kept having to move forward, i couldnt slow down to enjoy the game out of fear a splicer ripping my cock off

Yeah I know right? I honestly can't see the major awesomeness everyone else can. Maybe we didn't play it right?

Portal.

I'm a Valve fanboy and I'm sick of hearing of it.

It wasn't that great in my opinion.

Really. It was good... just good.

I'll also throw in Halo as a whole, despite already voicing my opinion on it multiple times. Very middle of the road franchise whose only claim to greatness is a surprisingly well done score and a functional online component.

I can agree with you on that, I bought the soul silver remake remembering how good it was as a kid. Problem is the region was boring O_O.

 

[ethaninja]

Asassins Creed.
Seriously, the repetitiveness, the constant not grabbing on to a ledge after a big jump because the game "just couldn't see it" really limited me. Combat was alright. Albiet very annoying for when you had to run away.

How did I forget this?

Again, great soundtracks (the sequel especially - I've got a thing for Jesper Kyd) but gameplay that lags behind significantly.
