I can criticize portal. Some of the puzzles wernt designed in a way that gave me any sense of direction. I flew through most of the game but I remember two points where I just walked around for half an hour plus saying wtf to myself. I realize that kind of personal to me but thats what a criticism is right?
I'm going to have to take issue with Persona 4.
It's mostly excellent, but, damn, those little "slice of life" segments really got on my nerves, mostly due to how mundane and unfunny they were. Not to mention the plotting could've used a bit more, hm, directness.
But, no, I personally can't think of an actual game that doesn't have a few little flaws worth noticing.
Except perhaps Deus Ex.

...Damn your logic.Aylaine said:Ones that I haven't played?
That aside, one can criticize everything. It only takes the right mindset.
Examples from thread:
Portal: Protagonist's motivations thoughts are unexplained, revealing a staggering lack of thought in the plot. Also, graphics.
Tetris: Teaches no applicable real-world skills, truly a pointless waste of time. Also, graphics.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Turn based combat is a boring artifact of the past. Also, graphics.
Yes, these are idiotic, but all it takes is the will to be cross and bitchy.
I am playing Metal Gear Solid 4, and at the moment I can't think of anything that they did wrong...
But things will probably crop up in hindsight. I will pick KotOR or Psychonauts. The first is in my opinions the best videogame to be based off of the star wars series (not saying there isn't some stiff competition though) and Psychonauts, well I can't think of anything that is a legitimate complaint. They never had a sequel, when they kind of built up to one. But they didn't give it a cliffhanger. The Meat Circus made me discover swearing when I was a kid (right along with Metroid Fusion's Spider boss thing) but still it only took me about 50 tries...
Actually, I am going to add Metroid Fusion, and it's grand daddy Super Metroid. I love them both so much. Metroid Prime too.

The story wasn't as good, but otherwise Pikmin 2 is everything the first game had and then some. Heck, after playing Pikmin 2 for a while, I went back to play the original and it kept making me wish I was playing the second game due to some features that weren't in the first.AdamRBi said:
You are right, there is no perfect game. And criticism is the best way to better games. If there was something wrong with the first game in a series, people should criticize it so the developers can fix that issue, or balance it out with something else.
Suffering from ADD isn't a flaw with the game, it's a flaw with the gamer.likalaruku said:
Though I will say that Tetris should have an asterisk attached to it because most official versions of Tetris are very very lacking thanks to the laughable "Tetris Guideline" that's required to license a Tetris game. Meanwhile there are a number of un-official versions of Tetris that are far superior and fall under the "no flaws" category.
I hate to agree with everyone else, but Portal. It really is beyond criticism, as far as I'm concerned. It had great writing, some fun and innovative gameplay, great acting, great design, and was polished to a mirror shine.
Because Portal is praised so often and people won't shut the fuck up about cake, it's easy to lose sight of how great the game actually was. I guess it's a testament to the game's quality that it's been three years and the never-ending memes and cake jokes haven't negatively influenced my feelings about it at all.

God Hand.
If there is a problem, it's on YOUR end. YOU aren't doing enough to own butt, and that is entirely YOUR problem. God Hand has no flaws at all-the only time "flaws" are visible is when YOU are sucking bad.
