Great games with one fatal flaw...

GTA IV could have been a good game if it weren't for the fact that the whole game was so boring to explore. Endless rows of gray building. Whats the point of being a open world game if you can't enter any buildings.
Well I've already posted in this thread but I've been playing Beyond Good and Evil (first time) and it's earned its place.
Really unique game, nice looking, mostly fun gameplay, protagonist who wears green lipstick, but OH MY GOD THE CAMERA. It has an infuriating habit of switching positions in the middle of combat, so attempting to go "forward" now results in going "right", or similar, and usually removes your character from the screen. It always picks the worst possible moment to do it too. And during a racing-type segment in a hovercraft, it actually locked onto the side of my hovercraft. Try racing with a side view... it's not easy.
I have a feeling the console versions would be better, but I'm not sure.

This is far form nitpicking. Resident Evil 5 was turned into a long escort quest when you played alone, but it was awesome if you played co-op. If you didn't have to drag Sheva around when you were alone that game would have been perfect.EcksTeaSea said:
The Thing for PS2
Great game based on a great movie. Right up until I reached the mission where I needed to shoot four bombs attached to planes to disable them. I had to shoot them from a airport control tower, and once I shoot the first one, the doors to the other three would begin to close, so I was under a time limit. Bullets fired from pistols and assult rifles would disappear if you were trying to hit something from long range. So the only way to complete the mission is with a sniper rifle that was nowhere to be found on the level. Now from my experience, all the games that I've played provided some means of getting through them, but sadly not this one.

Fallout: New Vegas and its constant lag and freezing. I love pretty much everything else about this game, but the fact that I can't play thirty minutes without it turning into the world's brownest PowerPoint presentation or suddenly refusing to work altogether is unforgivable no matter how good the game underneath it all really is.
Battlefield 3. I wanted to like it (I've got 90 hours multiplayer in BC2 and 20 something in BF2), but It just felt like BC2, but Boring and that's the worst attribute a game can have.
Deus Ex & Deus Ex: human revolution. I wanted to like these games, but something about the basic mechanics rubbed me the wrong way.
Make the spawn times for guardposts a bit longer.

Cannot agree more. Also get rid of the malaria system and make the Weapon degeneration more impactful. (don't have infinite guns at your base, pay for each copy).Keepitclean said:

Red Faction Geurilla: Technically two fatal flaws:
1. Lack of infinite ammo cheat, so you have to trudge back to a stupid ammo box (which could be miles away) every ten minutes or so.
2. Buildings you blow up don't come back. So if you blow up all the buildings, there is literally nothing else to do, except shitty side missions that aren't worth anyone's time. The only remedy to the situation is to start a new game, thus losing all your cool weapons, upgrades, and unlocked areas. Why the hell they decided to do this is beyond me.
It's like Volition (that was them, right?) set out to make the funnest game ever then deliberately SUCK ALL THE FUN BACK OUT OF IT.
