Both Littlbigplanet games. I bought both of them from recommendation from my friend, with words like "You can't own a PS3 and not have littlebigplanet." And I can see why they're popular, and I actually really want to like these games, but I just find it hard. The first couple of levels are alright, then it gets annoyingly and frustratingly hard. The level creation system is fun I guess, but I can't come up with anything cool.
Yeah. I'll agree with that. I felt like I should enjoy it, there was a lot there that I shuold have liked. But I just felt disconnected with it. New Vegas I found easier to interact with. But still didn't feel right.Digi7 said:
To add to that, Minecraft, X series and Audio Surf. All are great games that I enjoyed playing, but please, give me my life back. I kind of need it.
I agree with this, I dislike the whole civil war theme it has going, I preferred Warband's medieval theme. I also hated the factions in With Fire and Sword, most of the armour looked stupid as well.Totenkopf said:
I did however like being able to outfit your men with armour and weapons, that was a nice touch.

Great game with a wonderful art design and brilliant use of Randian themes, but the gameplay was a big "meh". I didn't really like it.
Fallout 3, I had fun with it at the start but once I'd completed a bunch of side quests and got to level 20 without doing any of the story beyond Megaton I just lost interest and couldn't play for longer than 30mins. That and the game crashed every 15-30mins which lead to some serious rage build up. Eventually I got so fed up with it I uninstalled it and never went back.
After that experience I din't even bother with New Vegas.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who had this problem.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
What's even more surprising, you mentioned pretty much all my concerns in your post :/
But still, I'm pretty disappointed, the cover and the info on the internet made it seem like "BEST MOUNT AND BLADE EVAR", and then we bzw I got this...
A lot of people mentioning The Witcher here.
After a few hours, I managed to figure out what I didn't like about the game: It has absolutely no redeeming features or qualities. It isn't fun. The combat is easier than any other RPG I have ever played. Absolutely no challenge aside from wrestling with the terrible control scheme. It doesn't have good writing. There aren't any likeable characters. It doesn't look pretty. There aren't any good actors. The setting isn't even remotely interesting. Plot is virtually non-existent and can go fuck itself even if it does show up after twenty hours.
It's just bad. Like they developed it as some unholy union of Gothic 4 and Fable. But people love it, so there's obviously something I'm missing.
My other contribution is Lost Odyssey. The game is good, that I know. It just feels so unbearably slow.

One of the armour sets look like Roman armour and because of that I thought Rome might be a faction and I was like :O but then I realised it wasn't and then I was like "aw"Totenkopf said:
If Rome was a faction that would have been enough for me because I would have just always sided with them.
Grim Fandango because the controls are so tedious, Story and all the characters are brilliant and of course the dialogue, but those controls it almost took me 10 years to finish it just once. And i had bought it original almost on release day. And every adventure game that i have finished I did more then once, Still need to go through a second run of Grim Fandango just not looking forward because of the controls.
Heavenly Sword, I love that game to pieces but it was too short and aiming with the six-axis was bullshit and rage inducing.
Fallout 3, I played the living hell out it to which I lost a lot of precious time because of it, and honestly I doubt I'm going to get any of it back.

Minecraft. It's just too addictive. When I think of all the possibilities my time starts to disappear...
Seriously. The "herp derp let's give the player pokemon cards for sleeping with women" mechanic shouldn't be in any game, least of all a game that is trying to establish multiple credible female characters. IMHO, Triss in particular stands out as an unusually strong RPG character who starts out on the wrong foot because of that mechanic. Witcher 2 gets major props from me for fixing this problem, but I'm not a huge fan of the HBO-esque gratuitous nudity either.xXxJessicaxXx said:
It's got (in the full version - the initial version that sold in the US got the dialogue cut with a hatchet and terribly voice acted) one of the better game plots out there. It's the only one I've played that, for instance, requires the player to read between the lines on major twists. The characters are good, and the gameplay is reasonably well balanced on hard, deeper than average, and very true to the books. But it's dragged down by, among other issues, weird combat mechanics, glitches, a sexist women-as-trading-cards mechanic, and a general lack of polish (no pun intended.) Definitely a Your Mileage May Vary title - along the lines of Morrowind, Oblivion, or Fallout: NV. The good outweighs the bad for some people, and doesn't for others. The second Witcher is both more ambitious and much, much better executed, IMO.mireko said:
