Valid point, but at the time the developers put effort into the graphics. At the time of release, those would have been good graphics.
And honestly, ff7 was yet another angsty teenager with an over-sized sword JRPG. I preferred ff4, but even that one was so-so. I hate FF with a passion.
In fact the only good JRPG I ever played was Chrono trigger. And you know what? It had superb gameplay, but the 2d 90's graphics were so good and beautiful in their unique style that it has multiple places in my heart.
Lazy/shallow story lines.
Personally, I can overlook just about ANY gameplay issue as long as the story is a solid, interesting one. My favourite games are based on how enthralled I was with the story, not the graphics or gameplay, hence why my top 3 are all from different genres (Bayonetta, Enslaved and Oblivion).
Lazy scripts and plot just annoy me. I often don't get very far in games because the plot is poor. Yes, I know I should give the story lines a little longer to kick in, but I don't have time to entertain unnecessary nonsense, especially if there are better game plots out there. If the plot or characters haven't interested me within the first 20-30 minutes, I switch off.
I'm a harsh critic
I also hate it when games make you go back to earlier locations to collect things purely as a way of padding out the game to make it seem longer than it actually is. But I hate that less than poor plots.

XD, Well said sir.Srdjan said:
OT: None of these, cause they're not the worst offenders imo. The worst offenders are:
1)Gravel voiced White guy with short brown hair and stubble
2)Hyper Sexualized, and fakely bad-ass'ized female supporting character.
3)Beat the Evil [things] to save the World/Universe/America/girl.etc.
The trick where you heal by staying out of the way and sucking your thumb whilst waiting for cranberry juice to disappear from in front of my eyeballs. Gawd, that's annoyed me so much about games these days, what was so broken about the health-meter system of "Charge in, mow everyone down, staple med-kit to face, move on", anyway.
However, I'm gonna vote for QTE's, simply because it's just selfish game design.

DECLINE OF VIDEO GAMING WAS AWESOME!!!!!Daystar Clarion said:
OT: Graphics over game play. Most of the stuff is tolerable except this. Between Super Meat Boy and Magicka, a total of which I spent 13.50 usd between the two, I have had more fun than any CoD or Halo game.
Also, if you have not bought Magicka yet, you hate puppies
Awesome! Love those vids.Daystar Clarion said:Yes, it is from Decline. You get a huge cookie for such an elusive reference.
I think I might challenge myself to make a cookie of that caliber.
Graphics over gameplay... But hey, now we are at it, let's throw bullet-time out the window too...
...You voted what I voted FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON.Sixcess said:
I'm playing Half Life as well (well, Half Life: Source) and I agree the level design is so... ugh. I too like the story, but that Gonarch boss actually made me use the cheats, because I had killed if 5 times, and each time I would jump into the teleport, but so would it's babies of annoyingness and they'd kill me WHILE I WAS TELEPORTING. I got so mad after the 3rd time it happened that I turned on god mode, and those unescapeable pits of toxic waste were frustrating as well. Still, awesome game.
Although I freaking hate those flying things with the huge heads that throw fireballs that sound like baby monkeys with mental handicaps.
Oh, and without insta kills, QTE wouldn't be so awful and annoying.
These things arent BAD, its just the way they are used thats bad, except for Graphics over Gameplay perhaps.
