Say something bad about your favorite game.

Its not my favorite game but...

Just Cause 2 has the worst group of voice actors of all time. Any of the faction or agency missions are almost unbearable thanks to the voice actors. Aside from that its a very fun and pretty free roaming game.

Silent Hill 2

It could have gone to the other world more often. I thought that silent hill 1 and 3 did it too often, but silent hill 2 barely went at all. Even though it stayed there much longer.

Red Faction Guerrilla

The story was good, the controls were tight and easy to learn, combat was incredible both on and offline, there was an actual reason to try the side missions offline, and the destruction physics made the game a blast to play.

However the characters were dull and flat, the environments were very lackluster and bland, the AI was about as thick as a cement milkshake, the rail gun weapon was about as cheap a kill you could get online, AND there was a damn mission that wanted you to be stealthy. The kind were the alarm goes off as soon as you're spotted.

But all of the negatives are outweighed by the positives.

Final Fantasy VII my favourite game of all time I absolutely love it but obviously its got a load of faults such as :-

Out of battle character models are really really crappy admittedly they have aged well but thats because they looked crap then and they look crap now especially glaring back when it was released in comparison to the awesome backgrounds.

Mag def on armour dosent work do you need it no, would it help yes and it should work if your going to create a stat for it.

Obtaining some of the materia is an absolute pain in the arse involving luck betting on Chocobo racing so annoying.

Final Weapons/limit breaks vastly swing the power balance in favour of certain characters i.e Cloud,Yuffie,Barret (especially Barret) and Cid sure the others are still perfectly usuable but you cripple yourself technically to do so. Tifas Final weapon in particular is pathetic even if she is a monster mid game and Vincents limit breaks are almost pointless except very early on.

Chocobo Breeding the typical pointless waste time activity they include in almost every RPG ever, god help you if youre not using a guide and are relying on mr um... I cant remember Sages advice.

Cant skip summons yeah Knights of the round is nice but I dont want to see it every single time VIII also had this problem cant remember if IX did but yeah anyway I hardly ever summon Bahamut ZERO or KotR now in VII because it takes so damn long.

Great Glacier yeah that about says it I am ok with the place now but on my 1st 3 or 4 playthroughs that place always pissed me off its just not a fun area.

Ok that will do for now I also have another fault which isnt on VII but springs from it which is Clouds character or more precisely why does he have a different character in every game he is in? Ok different time periods events in games etc but he undergoes a complete metamorphosis each time whereas other characters dont shift nearly as much the only explanation is that he is a chronic schizophrenic or Square Enix dont understand his original character at all and keep changing him to what peoples perceptions of him are or what they want(ed) him to be like rather than what he was, doing nobody any favours.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

- The game is a lot shorter than most Zelda games, especially as far as the main plotline goes. About 5-6 main dungeons not counting Ganondorf's final dungeon.

- The game is extremely easy. Maybe it's just because I played it a lot, but it's very easy to go through the whole game without dying once. 3 heart playthroughs can alleviate this, but not completely, and that also means you have to be very careful about opening chests so you don't get heart pieces.

- The Tri-Force gathering quest was just filler. The areas where you got the shards and the maps were pretty cool but they should have cut the whole map part out of that equation.

For the record, I actually liked the sailing.

Kingdom Hearts 2 If it weren't for the drive system goofy and donald would be worthless

BioShock 2. If ever there was a game that begged not to have a sequel, it was BioShock. The story encapsulates perfectly, there is no need for anything more. While BS2 is not a bad game its very existence is an insult to the original.

Skyrim. The game is just too damn big. I don't mean the world itself, I mean the endless side quests, the 100+ dungeons with 50,000+ burial urns each containing 3 septims, and so forth. I am a compulsive looter who feels the need to collect everything. It's unlikely I will ever finish the main quest.

Left 4 Dead, either one. Rage quitters. I've lost all three teammates after we lost the very first round of a versus game by less than 100 points. Holy freaking god, I can understand quitting after you've been curb-stomped, but we did not do that badly. Is it really so difficult to imagine we might make up those points later -- or even lose the match, but still have a good time? Nope, gotta quit and find "a team that doesn't suck," i.e. a team that will carry your whiny ass on its back -- for all of five minutes, until you rage quit on them too.

You do realize that each final fantasy takes place in a different story in a different universe with different characters except for the 13 games and the direct "-2" sequels right?

Grand Theft Auto 4.

There was one mission

Spoiler

were they present you with a choice of entering a builing through the basement for a more stealthy approach or through the front door, all guns blazing. Problem is, both entrances are all guns blazing approaches. They basically lie to you.

Cave story - Dialogue could have used a little touch-up, and I wish they would stop rereleasing reworks of the original game 50 times trying to milk me for my money. Lets see, there's a wiiware version, a 3ds version, and a steam version. I love the game, but I'm not buying it 3 times. Release a new one dangit.

Skyrim - The questlines need to be longer. I feel like I'm playing and ADDRPG sometimes when I'm in skyrim. Very few questlines are more then 5 or so quests. Usually, the more quests there are, the shorter the individual quest is. I finished the mages' guild questline in about 30 minutes. In the meantime, it feels like "I gotta finish this miss... Oh, look, a different mission, let me go do that real quick."

there may be a tad too many hats...

Tales of Symphonia:
The main character is boring as shit and the game is full of JRPG-cliches overall.

Mass Effect 2 asked really intelligent questions about whether the genophage is right and whether the Geth are the same as organic life, and then just arbitrarily makes one choice good and one evil.

Yes I know I was more specifically referring to Clouds change of Character to his appearance in other games such as kingdom hearts and Dissidia as well as the film advent children (which along with Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core is the same universe and largely the same characters, there is also before Crisis but I know bugger all about that game) but the point I was trying to make is that he shifts his personality much more than other characters who have a cameo/cannon from the FF series in another game/movie/whatever.

The English version of Gothic has TERRIBLE voice acting. It's really the only downfall of an otherwise perfect game. And to be honest, I prefer the Polish voice acting anyway so It's not that much of a problem.
