Video Games you cannot criticize.

Far Cry 2 and Oblivion.

FC2s mutiplayer is fantastic because of the map editor. I also love all the driving around you have to do ^^ I love the scenery.

No real need to say anything about Oblivion

Really?

I mean, grats that you enjoyed it. But having to drive all over the damn country to get anywhere in FC2 killed it for me. Not to mention that every single human being outside of a town wanted to kill me for no adequately explained reason.

In other news, Oblivion's weakest spot is the central story. I could nitpick all day, but your (ostensibly) very reason for playing the game is just a really fucking weak attempt at a story. I'm sure mods and sidequests help the replayability, but ultimately it's Fallout 3 without guns. A disappointment compared to its namesake, plagued by problems with game mechanics and a certifiably shitty central plot.

Except that the AI's awful, the NPC dialogue is repetitive and poorly-voiced, and the difficulty system is severely broken. Don't get me wrong, I love the game to death...but it's certainly not above valid criticism.

OT: TF2 is fantastically balanced and completely addictive. I also have a very hard time thinking up criticisms for Age of Empires II, and, well...Portal. (I honestly didn't like it as much as most of the Escapist seems to have, but even so I can't deny that it's brilliant in its execution.)

Halo 3 because I can't think of any part of that game that I didn't love. I used to be crazy addicted to multiplayer and making forge maps, and I like the campaign misssions so much that I go back to play they occasionally. I also love Bungie for maintaining an overall great community and commitment to their games. I know I'm probably in the slim minority on this site so please have mercy on my post.

I wish I could agree with you, TurtleMan. I really wanted Halo 3 to be an epic successor, but Bungie did so little to really flush out the story, and the campaign was way too damn short. It just didn't live up to my expectations as a sequel; Halo 3 had wasted potential. That is my critique of an otherwise great game.

I'll agree that the campaign was pretty short but I'm kind of wierd about shooter games. I would rather have a strong six hour game verses a ten to twenty hour campaign that tends to drag in most cases with one or two filler levels. It also makes it easier for me to go back and play missions because the story is shorter and it's easier to jump right in any level. But like I said I have a wierd personal preferance for shooter campaigns.

Tetris. There are no flaws.

It has terrible lag, though.

 

[goldsphinxx]

Banjo-Kazooie.

Oh yea! That was a great platformer!

recently I went back and realised the things I said were 'wrong' were actually fine, I was just a poor player

The graphics are a tad dated, but that's only a critcism if you're a graphics-whore, which I 'aint

Impossible for me: anyone who's read more than one of my posts knows that I can find flaws in anything. It's a gift and a curse.

My favorite games all have big flaws: San Andreas (pop-ins & glitches), Fallout 3 (buggier than an acid-head at burning-man), Burnout Revenge (Burning Laps).

The ones I have a hard time thinking of flaws for are those simpler concept games but I guess simplistic could be a flaw. Some of those games are Katamari, Rez, and things like that.

 

[EventHorizon]

Half Life 2.

I just can't find anything wrong with it, apart from the amount of time it took valve to release it, but that doesn't count... Right?

off-topic: Woo! First Post!

 

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

Any good indie games. (Note that I mean good on the scale of all games, not just indie games. Games that are "Good for indie games," really, are actually kindof terrible.)

Pong, it's pretty simple two paddle looking thingy's on opposite sides of each other and a blip for a ball. Pretty simple, yet it revolutionized how we have fun....

Spoiler: This game you cannot criticize

 

[Diligent]

My vote would have to go to Mario 3. The biggest and best platformer way back in the day on the NES is still the go-to formula for many 2d platformers.
Or Portal.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the only game I can think of that I have no criticisms for...that or portal...

Really? No criticism for MGS 4? What was your opinion of the team member that you meet up with who literally shits himself multiple times?
(Heh, I kid, it's a great game, but not beyond criticism IMO)

Shadow of the Collosuss and Cave Story.

SO GOOOOD...
