Most MEDIOCRE Game You've Ever Played

Kingdom Hearts

You are grey sweatshirt guy.

Whoa? Begowtch! Out of curiosity, what did you specifically find so mediocre about it? Why did it fail to tickle your fancy?

I'm trying really hard to enjoy Skyward Sword right now, but the controls really seem to ruin the experience for me. It's like they wanted to make zelda as gimmicky as possibly. I'm by far not a zelda hater as I absolutely adored Twilight princess.

You liked the black sheep? o.0

As for Skyward Sword, are they not responding well or are you just not getting the hang of them? Once you get them down, it's actually QUITE intuitive. Believe me, I thought it was going to be bad. Beyond bad. Like, I thought it was going to be Wii Sports Resort- Now with walking between mini-games! But I was waaaaaay off!

Oh trust me I absolutely adored every minute of twilight princess. Just thinking about that game makes me giddy.

It's not that I think skyward sword is a bad game, I just can't seem to get used to it. It's little things like coming back after a couple days break and totally forgetting how to fly the bird or bring up the inventory or especially aiming link as he's sky falling down somewhere that kill my motivation. It just does not seem right for me. And the dungeons just seem so generic, the first one had absolutely nothing interesting to it and right after that? generic lava level. It all just comes down to alot of minor annoyances equaling to one big one, but it's still worth playing.

I love TP, myself. Still, it had A LOT of problems. One of my favorites, wish it didn't have a giant plot hole, or that it used items better, though.

I'll say it now: stick with it. It gets better.

If you're having trouble aiming things about, make sure things like blue tooth devices aren't near the wii-motion plus. When calibrating, I never sit the wiimote on a flat service and it works great for me. I just hold it straight and face down by my side, usually with my arm cocked if need be.

I find the fluidity in SS's controls are simply divine and reason enough to play the game.

The lava level? I'll give you this. It *looked* incredibly generic. In fact, it strongly resembled Wind Waker's (my favorite, tied with Majora's Mask) lava dungeon. But the gameplay and strong use of items like the beetle and the boulder puzzles made it much more enticing. Just try to make it farther and trust me on this. You will be pleased. Maybe not with the desert coming up next, but after.

Homefront. Also, the last AvP. So upsetting since I enjoyed the old ones.

 

[Tallim]

The halo series, nothing screams generic and bland like that group of games.

Yeah I'm with you here I really don't see what the fuss is about in any way or form. It's a competent title but nothing special.

 

[figday]

Most of the sequels from the past year or so :

- Crysis 2
- Dragon Age 2 (actually this is SHIT)
- Mass Effect 3
- AssCreed's since 2
- Kingdom of Amalur

Probably Diablo 3. I can't imagine who'd want to sink real money on items, there doesn't seem to be any real point to keep playing. Though maybe it starts to cook once the harder difficulty is unlocked. Might give it more dimensions, I don't know.

 

[Joccaren]

Mass Effect 3. Taken on its own, ignoring the series, it was by no means bad - but it wasn't good either. It was just a meh cinematic shooter with a small free roaming aspect for you to walk around and watch cutscenes in it.

CoD also comes to mind. Not bad, but not good, and all round meh. After the first playthrough.

Other than that I'm probably not qualified to talk. I discount a lot of games because they look like they'll be average, so I don't buy or play them, hence I don't know if they actually are average or not, but my money's on the fact that they are.

 

[Matt King]

red dead redemption, just meh, kinda enjoyed it, but didn't come anywhere near to finishing it

 

[Sakeretsu]

James Cameron Avatar the Game was mediocre , solid but lackluster.

Seriously? Did you even read that list of games? My post couldn't have been more dripping with sarcasm if I tried. I was poking fun at the people listing off games like Psychonauts. Funny vid, btw.

 

[Jegsimmons]

bulletstorm Gears of War and what ever game is made by that company.

so damn boring and ugly.

 

[Wayneguard]

Mediocre is the best word to describe the original Kane & Lynch. Just...... okay.

 

[Tyrant55]

Resident Evil 5.

Was it bad? Not really.

Did I have much fun playing it? No.

Could that time have been better spent replaying Resident Evil 4? Yep.

 

[Krion_Vark]

Dark Souls.

They both have a nigh perfect mix of good and bad. Averages out to "Uhh... okay, I guess?"

Demon Souls for me. I just can't buy the second one know I never really thought the first was all that great.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Team Fortress 2 comes to mind. It was okay for a little but overall boring after an hour.

 

[Callate]

Oh, probably Unreal 2: The Awakening. Pretty. Competently put together. Just... Nothing new to offer, nothing to make you remember it a game later.

 

[Inkidu]

[Prototype]
Legendary

 

[TK421]

FFXIII. It was just so... meh. It's pretty, but the combat was boring and lacking strategy.

Halo 3-Now. Halo:CE was fun, cause it was kinda new. Halo 2 was fun because of plasma sword, dual wielding and all the glitches. Halo 3 was ok, but the interruptions during the story sucked, and the multiplayer was more of the same. ODST was ODST (Don't really think I need to elaborate on this). Reach was CE with new weapons, better graphics, and a more boring multiplayer.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It wasn't bad, but there is no draw to play it either.

Resistance 3. Fun, but the missions were rather generic and the multiplayer was a CoD/Goldeneye baby.

Gears of War. It... yeah. Not much there. Headshots are fun to get though.

CoD 3, WaW, MW2, BO, and MW3. Simply because I had already played them before, when they came out.

The Grand Theft Auto games are all pretty lackluster. Stealin' cars and killin' hookers is fun, but only for about an hour.

Borderlands, Jesus Christ. That game was so ... dull. Pew pew, jump in a car, hit something, ???, Profit. The monochromatic brown perpetual desert sure as hell didn't help, either.

I found Borderlands fun for one play through. I enjoyed the multiplayer with friends, but that was about it. Your description of it is perfect.

Yeah. Was fun for the 1 1/2 playthroughs, but then it was all the same. Even the DLC.

[Prototype]

Oh yeah. This too.

Team Fortress 2 comes to mind. It was okay for a little but overall boring after an hour.

As much as I don't want to admit it, I'm going to have to agree with you on this.
