Beyond Good and Evil.
I know it's not even been mentioned that much recently, but any praise it gets annoy me. It's only because I got really stuck, decided it wasn't my lack of skill but the fact it was a broken game, then swore an oath against it.
Same with Psychonauts, but I only rented it so I let it slide. Although I'm pretty sure it was a glitch.
Gettin' off topic here, sorry.

5 pages and I have yet to even answer: Shadow of the Colossus.
I love the game but I don't how you say "pleasure myself" over it like some appear to. It has flaws gameplay wise but some people only look at it on an artist level considering it perfect, which is fine to say the least but in brutal fact the game itself ISN'T perfect (I'm hoping the HD version will improve on these). Yahtzee recently didn't help things either.

I love it when most people don't fully read the OP.
I resent the amount of praise Shadow of the Colossus and Half Life 2 get, although I will admit they're both very good games in their own right. I just have a massive problem with any media which has incredibly sparse narrative, but then people create narrative for it and say its brilliant because of their own creation. SotC tells you sweet fuckall about anything. So many people heap accolade upon this type of story-telling it sickens me. To me it just seems like a cop-out. It's the sort of thing English teachers do with bad stories - ie. reading between lines which don't exist. There's only so much you can read into something before it becomes pure supposition and I find both the games I mentioned above cross that line by a mile.
But I can see why people like them, and in fact I enjoyed going through HL2 completely and a few Collosi in SotC. I just wish people hadn't been so keen to tell Ebert about playing SotC as I'm pretty sure it would have put him off games for life.

Mostly Portal, it was a great game and I really enjoyed it, but surely we should have gotten over it by now.
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?WittyInfidel said:
FF7.
No it was NOT the best in the series. Infact, it was one of the worst I think.
And I am fed up with people calling FFX crap, the only argument they ever seem to say is 'His laugh is like a seaguls.' it was supposed to be faked!!! Weren't you listening to the dammed scene?!

I'm currently in mission 6 or 7 and don't really get why it's supposed the great swan song almost everyone talks about. Seriously, even though Halo 1-3's story was weird, it got one at least. Reach is just... there's an epic invasion going on but Bungie failed in every storytelling way possible.FargoDog said:

Me, I've always hated the Medal of Honor series. Not just the new ones, but all of them because they refuse to put you in the shoes of an actual soldier, instead making you play as a secret agent of some sort. "Welcome to Medal of Honor: Frontlines, where you play 80% of the game as an OSS operative far, far BEHIND the Frontlines."
Fantastic. And even when you ARE an actual soldier, besides the obligatory D-Day mission you have maybe 3 people helping you through the whole of the game.
Psychonauts. If all you millions of people yapping on about how it was brilliant but never sold well then it obviously DID.
