Good Idea, in a Bad Game

[Hazy]

I figured this would be a fun one.
There have been alot of games, So there have been Alot of Gimmicks as well.
So, Does anyone know of a Bad Game that had a Good idea, or something you thought was fun or interesting thrown in? It can be anything, from Storylines to weapons.

The offender: Fable 2 - offence; awesome co-op as promised wasn't... awesome. At all.

Ahh, I almost let that one slip.
I was really let down with the co-op of F2.

Nazi Zombies sounds great... It gets old faaaaaast.

The right-thumbstick combat in Too Human.

It's a great idea, in a terrible game.

Alone in the dark: the fire 'physics'. Amazing, but the game didn't impress (IMO).

Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty, I was interested in the idea behind the story (What if Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbour) but the game was one of the worst that I've played.

Exploring the warhammer 40k universe in greater depth is an awesome idea, but the WH40KMMO is gonna be mediocre, I'm sure.

I'm from the future too, and I can tell you the WH40KMMO sucks.

Farcry 2: Great sceanery where you can hide in the grass as you sneak up; too bad it doesn't hide you for shit

Spaceforce:Captains. A nice idea with moving the Heroes Of Might And Magic style gameplay into a space setting - the game just failed so badly on stability, level desing, metalogic, battle method and certain abilities overpoweredness.

Yeah. That really was a letdown.

Yeah. That really was a letdown.

That whole game was a let down apart from how nice it looked. How boring was it driving past the same checkpoints and having to fight through it each time!

I meant the lack of stealth, but I guess you're right.

The right-thumbstick combat in Too Human.

It's a great idea, in a terrible game.

That was actually in Rise To Honor first, but it was done somewhat well.

Arcanum is a game made of amazing ideas with some shit tastic implimentation.

 

[WillSimplyBe]

The right-thumbstick combat in Too Human.

Thumbstick combat has never been a good idea... ever... Infact, I think I almost have to pull a 180 degree turn on your post and say just the opposite thing. Good game, terrible Idea.
Just my opinion though...

Oh I know what you meant with regards to that, but I was just pointing out how poor the actual game was. It seemed awesome until you realised just how repatative the whole thing was.
