Basically, this is a fanboy test. Simply take your favorite game, and tear it a new one by nit picking every single niggling little thing you don't like about it. Be worse then Yahtzee here, people!
Make sure you count each nitpick separately. If you want to do more then one game (encouraged!), take the average number of flaws as your final number.
Finally, when you're done, open the spoiler below and rank yourself! 0: Raving Fanboy
1-3: Fanboy
4-8: Reasonable
9-12: High Standards
13-20: Unpleaseable
>20: (insert obligatory Yahtzee reference here)
Ready? GO KILL YOUR FAVORITE GAME!
<spoiler=Example><spoiler=Mirror's Edge>1. Although the free running is excellent, it takes several runs to do it smoothly.
2. The wall-grip mechanic is not excessively great.
3. The combat is NOT the focus and should be considered emergency only, so no complaints about guns. The melee, however, is too ineffective.
4. The last room FORCES combat. GAH.
5. The game is too short.
6. The boat doors take too long to open.
7. The story is uninspired at best, outright asinine at worst.
8. The frame rate collapses in the first level air ducts.
9. The camera moves a bit too slow, and I can never adjust the sensitivity to where I want it.
<spoiler=Far Cry 2>Although I'm not far in the game, here's what I have so far.
1. The stealth actually works very well - AT NIGHT - but it's hilariously bad during the daytime. That stealth suit looks really expensive, too, because...
2. Diamonds are quite difficult to find. They're spaced out a little bit too far.
3. The car can be fixed indefinitely. Not impressive.
4. The respawning checkpoints. Give me a break, people!
5. The soldiers fire at you, even if you're working for them.
6. Buddies like getting gunned down.
7. The malaria mechanic doesn't work as well as one could hope.
8. All of the voice acting is WAAAAYY too fast.
<spoiler=Results>Average: 8.5
I am: Borderline reasonable.
