Say something bad about a game you like

[Kurokami]

Assassins creed, repetitive.

I'm currently playing Cities XL for some reason. City Building MMO. If I wasn't so damn good at it and as high on the rankings as I was, pretty much owning the planet I play on, I wouldn't still be playing, lol. It is a good game, and I can see where they are going to add and fix things, but the lag is horrible! It doesn't matter how good your PC is, because there is a memory leak that will eventually lag the hell out of the game to the point it pisses you off or until you gets beyond your memory capacity and you CTD. Not to mention it does not support multicore support, so basically it is kind of hard to play. However, in smaller cities when you are starting out, I am sure it isn't as bad. But if you would like a full complete review on Cities XL I have posted one here :

and here is some in game footage of Cities XL (its pretty laggy in the first city / half way through it is much better in the other city)

C&C Generals: Bad story, way to short scenario, crappy pre-mission-movies, unbalanced, unrealistic, plotting-bots(They team up against you)

 

[Snuggle]

Mass Effect: Copy/Pasted rooms
Batman: Arkham Asylum: lack of variety in enemies
Neverwinter Nights: The henchmen aren't very interesting
Crysis: All the flying and driving sections (except the tank section)
Left 4 Dead: Playing campaign with strangers....it just never works.

In Planescape: Torment the animations on the highest level spells such as meteor swarm slowed down my computer to a pace. I was glad to sit out the animation but in heavy boss fights things could get pretty chaotic. I don't think this is an issue with the newest generation of PCs though.

Fallout 3: S.P.E.C.I.A.L, V.A.T, None of the henchmen know how to be stealthy, No ingame falloutwiki, to many unrelated quests, to short main story

Killing floor- Stalkers are too rare (for the commando perk to level you must kill a lot)
Brutal legend- The RTS element felt wrong
Red Alert 3- Everything, yet for some reason I still really enjoyed it (I don't know why, just everything together made up for every feature being terrible alone).
Anno 1404 and League of Legends- No lan feature

 

[GamerPhate]

All Zelda/Mario games - always the same formula, each of which have been used over and over for decades.

We're sorry, the princess is another castle/labrynth

Uncharted 2: You get to the special secret super sparkely awesome land of fantasy youve been looking for the whole freeking game, and then the natives appear oh yes the natives that are high on elixier of life juice....no joke i fired 300 mingun rounds into one and he lived to kill me.....pluss you cant enter hand to hand combat with them.....pricks....they take about 10 minuits to kill with normall guns, and they can kill you in about 5 seconds.

MGS4: Why did hje have to put MORE cutscenes in.....

Assassins creed: Why do i have to help some other Assassin gather flags.....i just want to shank an important guy

GTA San Andreas: Good game but my god there was a lot of wasteland....i crashed my plane in the middle of the desert once (shouldant have tried my hands at stunts i know) and spent about 30 mins getting back to civilisation

Persona 3 FES - despite a valiant effort, your AI team mates are STILL as dumb as a shit sandwich, which regularly makes combat blatantly unfair.

FFX - Dodge 200 lightning bolts my ARSE!!!
FFX - If I am gonna sit there wiggling my sword while I make my move I at least want to be able to move my character forward so it wiggles it INSIDE the enemy (uber-win) while I decide what to do.

I did those 200 lightning bolts. o.o
It became very clear that I wasn't going to do it in one go, so I dodged about ten at a time then took a nice, long break before going back and dodging another ten. The whole thing took most of a day.

As for a bad thing about a game I like, I'll go with the game I'm playing at the moment, which I love.
Lost Odyssey - Treasure Trove. If you know it, you'll understand just how much of a downer it is to get to the end of a ~80 hour game, and realise you're missing a single 20G achievement, and may as well start a new game and follow one of the guides on the internet.

By the way, if anyone knows for sure whether the Light Lens from the rats in the cages after your first visit to Grand Staff counts towards the achievement or not, could you let me know, please. Just drop me a message. ;D

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Mass Effect: Framerate drops are a huge problem, texture pop-ins are constant.

CoD4: RANDOM. FUCKING. GRENADES. If you use 3x Frag, I seriously hope you die. I really really do.

 

[Ultress]

Halo 3 - sub-par campaign than both previous installments.

Tales of Vesperia - Love everything about this game except for you Karol Capel. Yes you. Why are you here? WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP?! Luckily with the slight name changer his name was unofficially Douchebag Capel.

I always renamed him Picard, so Yuri kept calling Him Captain Picard.


Tales Of Vesperia: The third act seems kinda rushed,the Final Boss is anti climatic , and the overlimit system is easily broken( though it does make for some insane combos).


Wild Arms2/3: tHe sonar system can be really frustrating sometimes.

Phoenix Wright: The solution can be a tad on the obscure side

Tales of Symphonia: The pseudo 3-D battle system is hard to play after Vesperia

 

[GundamSentinel]

Shadow of the Colossus
The land is kind of empty and boring...

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to wash my mouth with soap...

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Borderlands - Have yet to play it.

Serious one now.
Final Fantasy X - Way too many random encounters. Like a fight every 5 seconds.

I brought Borderlands this morning But yeah the random encounter thing in FF is a *****.

 

[Daveman]

in timesplitters you can't jump.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Modern Warfare 2 isn't out yet.

/fanboy

The load times in Borderlands are too long.

LittleBig Planet is too short.

Prototype is too restrictive.

Half-Life 2;
Your followers never stay the hell where you tell them to when you're trying to take care of snipers, they walk towards you after five seconds like they're all Mr Retard McSpackypants and get themselves killed, making me feel guilty.

Fallout 3;
ENDING. SUCKS.
Charon, Fawkes, Sgt. Rl-3, I HATE you.

Deus Ex;
What do you mean it counts as me killing them if I hit an enemy with a tranquilizer dart and one of my ALLIES shoots and kills them while I'm trying to take them down non-lethally!?

Call of Duty 4;
Veteran... overpowered AI with magical accuracy and ultra-kill bullets... and all your allies who just sit back and let YOU do all the pushing forward.
And don't even get me started on the "Epic fragx3-spam overkill-grenade-launcher RPG-7 noob tactics of broken".
I'd understand if the G. Launcher was only used now and then, but almost everyone uses it AND ONLY IT when they choose it until they run out of grenades for it.
I'm alright with martyrdom, though; it's more annoying than it is infuriating.

in timesplitters you can't jump.

It doesn't effect gameplay that much. Besides, his lack of jumping is lamp-shaded in the challenge "Cortez can't jump" in TimeSplitters 3.
