doom. ive got nothing against it, but without it, the modern FPS would be based on system shock. i never actually played the first one (it seems rather elusive) but i played the second one briefly (and curse myself for that-but in my defense, i was only 9 and it wasnt my computer) and bioshock... i also played halo, UT(at least 2 of them) briefly, and doom2 briefly. need i say more?
If you could go back in time and stop a game from being made, which one would it be?

No it just annoys me when people spell words wrong, but with the same amount of letters: fanboi=fanboy, witch=which, recatagorized=recategorized. Anyway that wasn't really my point. The fact is you still haven't given me any evidence that FF is a particulary bad game, the reason you don't like it and any to disprove the fact that it quote,bud myers said:

Perfect Dark Zero. Such a dissapointment after the original.
Perfect Dark was a fantastic game. expecially the muliplayer was so fantastic, what other game can you gin an entire map with remote mines and then seal yourself in a small room and watch the map explode.
but really i was soo looking forward to number two but just no

I mentioned Halo for several reasons. Let's look at them.
Limited weapon slots means you can't carry a variety of cool weapons. Someone else already addressed this, but given that my favourite weapons are shotgun, machine gun, sniper rifle and rocket launcher, being forced not to carry most of those doesn't feel right. Besides, it's more forced realism in games where it doesn't really apply - Sci-Fi games in particular.
While there have always been console fanboys, they never really hit the 'mainstream' (god I hate that word now) until Halo. Suddenly you had college fratboys and the kids who used to beat you up claiming they were 'into' games, and with that, came an explosion of teabagging and insults, which were only escalated with headsets and got worse as the sequels were released.
Gaming has forever been changed by Halo, and I for one don't automatically think it's for the better.
Regenerating health is fine, if there's a suitable reason for it. Halo had one - you were in a suit of armour. Name me one other game that has regenerating health where the hero has armour like that (Haze excepted). Hard? Damn straight.Eldritch Warlord said:

I don't want to imagine a world without Zelda. The very idea scares me.Auron555 said:

Well. I'd say world of warcraft. But then again, it does feed Blizzard tons of money to create games like the new Diablo and Starcraft 
. So, i'll leave that one be.
So... I think I'm going to go for Guitar Hero. Cause it dumbs down music to a level a real guitar playing person cannot begin to understand.

I'm gonna try and steer this away from descending into a schoolyard brawl and actually question why you don't think Final Fantasy is either an RPG or very good. Assuming we're talking about the same one - I take it to mean the very first one on the NES. Or PSone. Or GBA. Etc.bud myers said:
Assuming that's true, then you're suggesting the very original FF was rubbish (it was pretty good for the time, and actually holds up pretty well today, provided you don't care about plot, or lack thereof), wasn't an RPG (which it was, in almost every sense of the word - random battles, fetch and carry quests, leveling up, class systems, etc) and has spawned so many games under the same title, at least SOME of which were good (6, 9 and Tactics in particular, and I personally have a soft spot for 8, mostly due to the card game it had and the fact that one of your team was a freakin' sniper).
So yeah, I have to question your statement a little. Though if you meant 7, then I'm right up there with you.
Halo I can understand, although I personally have no real issues with halo.PxDn Ninja said:
But smash brothers? Easily the funnest nintendo 64 game I have played, Me and a group of friends have had such good times playing that.
Warcraft, well, Why? It's a rather decent series of RTS's. What issues do you have with it?
Even though I enjoy playing guitar hero and rock band, they're just... err..
The world of music would be a better place without them.
But I would have to say Grand Theft Auto takes the cake by a long shot.

Perhaps we need a product to help you avoid these JAG's, such as JAGaway or JAGoff.bud myers said:
Now exscuse me while I go start JAGing away with one of my JRPG's.
Also, I would stop whatever game has prevented the production of a new, next gen KIRBY game.
Smash Bros was a clunky, and boring game in my opinion. The fighting system has always been hacked together, collision is shoddy, and the AI is mediocre at best. Graphically the last one on Wii looked decent, but it takes more than graphics for a good title. Over all it's a poor Nintendo title that somehow became successful.Arcticflame said:
With WC, I have always been a CnC fan myself and Warcraft just doesn't deliver on the same scale and skill that Command and Conquer always has. The gameplay is too narrow and slow. Ultimately Blizzard goes for high graphics and low gameplay, keeping a narrow scope in both vision as well as gameplay. The very first Warcraft was innovated for its time, and was quite impressive. I just haven't seen them advance much on it. Granted, CnC hasn't advanced much either, but it just feels like the next stage of RTS evolution over WC.
