Hate a Game You Love, Love a Game You Hate

Harder than you thought, isn't it?

Yeah, it took me quite a while to actually think of something that some person with horrid taste in video-games might say about portal.

Half Life 2: Goddamn... I can barely sit through this crap. How the fuck do they expect me to solve these puzzles? It's a nightmare, putting the pieces of cardboard down to cross the acid water. And the headcrabs... oh the headcrabs! Couldn't they be even more blatantly ripped off from Halo, a much better game? And I can't take the gravity gun, half the stuff you can't even pick up and I'm sick of Alyx! I mean, she doesn't even help you that much!

Unreal Tournament 3: I love this game so much! It plays like quake, meaning that all those amazing space marines get to pump you full of lead until you explode! The twitch gaming is hard to get used to, but helping n00bs is for squares! The voice acting is top-notch, with all of the people sounding like they've got throat cancer really adding to the feel.

Psychonauts: If you don't want to be Psycho you better NOT play this game! I'd rather get brain damage than play Psychonauts again. Did Jack Black's retarded cousin write this? Kids in a psychic summer camp, it's been done so many times I am bored just thinking about it. And the constant jokes, HAHA, sorry I forgot to laugh. Practically ruined the game for me I was so nauseous from all of them. And really what kind of crap is psychic powers? Hey Raz, why not learn some real magic from Criss Angel and really freak some minds, you got more than enough room in that over-sized watermelon of a head. And oh god the levels! Give me a break already, level after level of unique environments and memorable set pieces. Who wants to remember the game after they have played it? Hey Raz do me a favour, jump into my brain and make me forget I ever played the bundle of turds that is your game.

BLASPHEMY AGAINST PSYCHONAUTS!

I hold nothing sacred! Watch me piss on your idols!
But I only hate because I love! I'm just misunderstood! /emo. LOL.

I hated Super Mario, I mean come on, a fat plummer jumping around, eating shrooms and other plants to get special abilities.. jeese, what a stupid, stupid game concept

If you never tried Vexx go buy it now.. i mean come on, a Fox like creatures with magical claws, shredding everything apart, collecting stuff that can save the world... I mean, how can that not be a good game, worth loving ?

 

[Snuggle]

Neverwinter Nights: I don't even know where to start with humiliating this game. The graphics are laughable, the story tries to be epic, but fails because of the laughable graphics and last but not least, the music takes abysmal to whole new levels, because of the laughable graphics.

Bus Driver: Just by looking at the title of this game you know it'll be a great experience. And once you've started it up your already high expectations will be blown utterly away as you change between driving, braking, turning and setting your safe and happy customers of at their destination.

I hated Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but The Force powers were actually pretty cool, twisting the Nunchuk to close off a guy's windpipe like in the movies. I didn't see Jar-Jar Binks anywhere, and even though all the boss fights are essentially the same, at least you'll be good at it by the end. Also, if you have high patience, you can master the Wiimote controls and maybe it might resemble a lightsabre

I loved Beyond Good and Evil, but was I the only one who had a finger twitch due to the high tension and had my finger slip off the crouch button for a mere second, only to find out that I had been spotted and tipped off the nigh-invincible guards to my location? A toggle would have been far superior. And the lack of a real jump button had me running on the spot in front of a cube for ages until finally realizing I had to adjust my angle three degrees to the right for it to register.

I hated Spider-Man 3, but it's always satisfying to swing around the city, bouncing off rooftops, and switching into Super Evil Death mode and clobbering everyone and everything around me, then switching back and frantically completing the Quick Time Event before the timer ran out and I had to restart the mission.

I loved Jak II, but if there's two gaming cliches I hate the most, they're underwater levels and mech levels. Jak II has an underwater mech level. Ouch.

I hated Eragon, but sometimes you need to enter a mind-numbing realm where with a mere three button-pushes you can jump onto a giant's shoulders and smack him on the head with your sword until he falls over in a cloud of green lights and inexplicably melts into the ground like he's a soluble substance and the ground below him is water.

I loved Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, but that pathetic excuse for a final boss fight with the giant robot thing and you were in the space ship was just...well...pathetic.

I hated Final Fantasy XII, but it was really cool to analyze the boss and note its elemental weaknesses and lay out your gambits and have your strategy all come together in a massive explosion of "die you androgynous villain you!"

I loved Shadow of the Colossus, but there was little closure (stupid complaint, I know) and THAT @#$%IN' HORSE WOULD ALWAYS COME TO A SCREECHING HALT AND TURN A FULL ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DEGREES WHENEVER IT ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING HIGHER THAN A @#$%IN' GUMDROP ARRRRRRRGH!!!

you obviously doesnt see the point of this thread.

Yes I does, I just choose to ignore it. The kind of writing in which you blatantly say the opposite of what you mean always strikes me as kind of forced. Just because I'm an incredibly nice person, I'll do one your way now:

Viewtiful Joe: Grrr, this game was bad. It was sooo easy and the art style looks exactly like every game ever. The dialog was good, though.

Robots for the Gameboy Advance: This was the best game evar. I loved the variety of side-missions, which never resort to pointless fetch-quests. The objectives are always clear and you're never punished by skipping one or two side-missions like, say, by forsaking you an important item without which you cannot progress and so you have to backtrack throughout the whole game until you find the one character amongst a million who has the thing you need, then trying to find the crazy chain reaction of finding and trading which will give you the thing they need. Yeah, there's nothing like that.

Sorry about the mass amount of text here. Or should I say: I'm happy I left all this text.

Well, it's about time we put aside our differences and dig deep inside ourselves to find things we love about games we hate, and things we hate about games we love. They don't have to be logical, or even valid things to love or hate!

Condemned - What a terrible game. You're trapped in the city of God-Knows-Where and constantly have to kill crazed homeless people. But wait, an FPS where guns are rare? That's absolute bullshit! Also, why does the main character always have to take the darkest, most terrifying route to the next place in the city. Why go through an abandoned and haunted doll factory, when you could just as easily have taken the bus?

Halo 3 - This game is amazing! Within seconds of sliding the Blu-Ray into my PS3, I was met with gorgeous graphics, rippling bass, and unparalleled multiplayer. And that's just from the title screen! I could go on about how the campaign is wrought with terrifying and bone-shattering atmosphere, and the combat feels like you are the one cracking alien skulls, but I think I speak for everyone here when I say that this game's quality knows no limits.

I challenge you to a duel of honor at noon!

My opinion: Pretty much the complete opposite of this!!! ANGRY FACE!!!

Paper Mario:TTYD- the W emblem costed way too much, but it was my favorite one
Some Barbie game my sister had when she was younger- One of the minigames was actually pretty fun

 

[SimuLord]

Tetris: Where's the variety? It's just the same stupid stack-the-blocks level over and over again! They should have, like, a jewel-matching level or a Breakout/Arkanoid level where you destroy what you just created! Stupid game, only one game mechanic. Pathetic.

Super Mario 64: Wow, it's in 3D! And the music is excellent! And the screwy camera and wonky controls aren't a flaw, they're just adding to the challenge and making sure the game isn't too easy!

 

[CoverYourHead]

Warcraft 3 Seriously? I have to WAIT for my units to spawn? I don't have time to sit around! My porn is almost completely downloaded! I have things to do! And those graphics with cut-scenes! If I wanted to watch something that pretty I'd go watch a disney movie, I wanna watch mangled pixels and enjoy them trying to make a coherent picture.

BioShock Awesome! No challenge at all! Even when you die you just get a small slap on the wrists and a five second walk. Who needs challenge anyway?

 

[Bigeyez]

Heh I like this thread.

Custer's Revenge: BEST IDEA FOR A VIDEOGAME EVER. It had the best plot ever! Plus dodging all those "arrows" made for extremely fun gameplay. And then when you got the the end of the game you got a rape a native american woman tied to a pole!

Mass Effect: This is the worst pile of crap I've ever seen. First of all it's racist because there isn't that many black people in the game. Secondly it's homophobic because they don't let you have a male-male relationship. Thirdly it's made by BioWare and they capitilize their name funny-like.

So, either you didn't get the point of this thread, or you're a Halo fan. Lose-lose situation, there, Chet.

Now here's another example of doing it right.

 

[Nukey]

call of duty 4: this game was terrible it was so unorginial, failed to stand out from the crowd, multiplayer was awful, and the the level design was trash

call of duty world at war: this game is fantastic, i love how historical accurate the weapons were, i mean we all know the m1a1 carbine was stronger then the stg 44 despite a lower velocity and having a smaller bullet, and we all know the mp40 was a accurate weapon.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

Half Life 2: Man, who the hell wants to have a game with a story that isn't driven by long cutscenes? I mean really! And the gravity gun is simply stupid, why pick up any object in the level when you can use your ammo I mean, it's there for a reason right? If I have 150 rounds in my gun, then I'm able to kill 150 people right? I don't see why they needed to add all the fluff with the gravity gun and such. And Gordon Freeman, what a joke, the dude's goatee is cheesy and he's a mute scientist. Big whoop.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Man, these polygon people are so awesome! And the Theed level where you have to escort Amidala to the hangar is so much fun! I loved it when she ran out to say hello to the droids, but I don't think they speak fluent Galactic Basic since all they're able to say when she runs out to say hi to them is "Shoot to kill". The lightsaber duels rock too! You have one of 5 moves to choose from! It's sick!

[sub]yes, I'm talking about that Star Wars game[/sub]

 

[Jessiah]

No One Can Stop Mr. Domino: Yeah, until I rip this unoriginal piece of garbage out of my Playstation for being completely ridiculous and over the top with random Japanese things. I never chuckled, not once. I haven't been this let down since since my mother walked out when I was in 2nd grade.

Independence Day: THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME! You get to PEW PEW PEW Aliens while saying "Welcome to Earth" and "I COULDA BEEN AT A BARBECUE!!!" Not to mention the flight is near flawless, I do believe the Airforce uses this game regularly to train jet fighters. I mean shit, if you can shoot aliens down in a video game you can sure as hell shoot humans down in real life. Not to mention...YOU'RE WILL SMITH!

Buyer Beware: You have to pretend you're Will Smith, like...really, really, reaaaally, pretend.

Chaos Legion: Sure the character looked cool and had a sweet name (Sieg), but I just hated it. It was unbearable. What was the point of summoning sweet looking monsters when it slows you movement to a walk and decreases attack? It had no puzzles to solve, not an actual story (from where I stopped) and your attack was the same 3-attack combo which you can't stop to dodge a monster from hitting you, taking half you health away. Yes I know I hate the game and made it longer than the game I love, but this game is just terrible.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail: I thought this game was going to be good and picked it over Budokai 2. How much was I wrong. The gameplay was awful. Voice acting was average. The gem thing was gay. I couldn't finish the game cause I didn't want to go back and get 40 gems just so I could get a super charged version of my headbutt. I stopped and never really beat any other boss. God that game pisses me off...

Devil May Cry: I loved this game cause of the awesome game-play. Fascinating storyline and sweet skills/Devil Triggers. The boss fight was an actual challenge and was really fun and exciting

Hitman:Blood Money: Sure that game's suppose to be about stealth, but because of my lack of skill in stealth, I decide to just shoot everyone that looks at me wrong. It.Was.Awesome. Having different varieties of killing people with different weapons, creating "accidents" was creative and why I was supposed to kill them was somewhat, amusing. Like half the people were rapist. That got boring after like the mission A Dance With the Devil. I loved how every time I killed I got posted on the news and I could read about myself. It just made me happy at the game calling me a "Skilled Assassin" with expert marksmanship.

Bully: This would be a Love:75% Hate 25% type of game for me. I loved the voice acting, the character personality, especially Jimmy's hard justice personality, the game play was great, the story was sweet, just him taking over the school, but what bugged me was...the bosses. All of the bosses could be killed with the Slingshot as long as I got in range. It was really disappointing. Gary was the most disappointment with me. The final boss is supposed to be hard. All I did was knee him in the balls and punch him and he was down for the count. Overall I loved the game and the Go-Kart is sweet.

P.S. I finally learned how to bold and it's sweet

I love operation winback, but at the same time i break my controllers over it because of the damned laser traps

 

[baseracer]

I hate Resident Evil 5. What the fuck is kind of name is sheva. And Chris is all roided up. And, that damn beginning, I died like 100 times before I gave up.

I love Fuel: I mean, all that space, and the graphics look fucking awesome!

 

[Macropter]

Knights of the Old Republic- Seriously Bioware? Where the hell is my character customization? Can't I be something other than human? And what's with the freaking controls? They're as clunky as hell! Walking feels more like wading through shit! And walking while wearing a space or pressure suit feels more like wading through really really thick shit! Oh, and thanks for making me replay the entire freaking game just so I could get the other ending! Also, where are my awesome force powers? Even at max level all I was doing was shooting out static electricity and covering everyone in purple fuzz!

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility- Well... umm... those gnome, sprite things are just adorable... and... you can ride an ostrich! Then you can... get married... and stuff... and collect random items to make rainbow bridges...

(Damn this is hard)
