I was under the impression that a different company did the multiplayer aspect than the single player. That said I actually thought the multiplayer modes were a somewhat creative twist to the regular capture the flag, team deathmatch that every shooter has. But the game really just didn't have any publicity behind it, a lot of reviewers are like hey this is a solid game, but no one really cared.MiracleOfSound said:
That would either be Duke Nukem Forever or Star Wars TFU 2. Scratch that, Star Wars takes this one for being a shit sequel to a game that didn't even need one. BIG pet peeve of mine.

Mortal Kombat or The Witcher 2 for me.
Mortal Kombat is just a poorly designed fighting game, and absolutely pales in comparison to any fighting game Capcom has released in the last decade.
The Witcher 2 basically encompasses everything I dislike in RPGs. A bad inventory system, tons of wandering around aimlessly, a clunky combat system, and a story that I really couldn't get into at all. The main character is one of the most bland and lifeless protagonists I've ever seen in a video game as well. He somehow manages to be incredibly angsty AND a lifeless husk of a person at the same time.

I'm going to say Amnesia the Dark Descent. That game had such a lame storyline and ending. It was a let down because it had so much potential.
I can't believe how badly they r!@#d Samus Aran in that game. They really should put other M in the survival horror genre.Drummie666 said:
I dunno if a different company did the multiplayer modes but two things really stood out to me:Rednog said:
1. The campaign was half the length of the first two games (if even that).
2. The campaign was balanced for two players, so parts of it were a needlessly difficult chore to play alone.
3. The scares were gone.
They had such a good formula for the first two, I dunno why they messed it all up for the final episode. It was like everything that made the first game great was gone - the scares, the length, the creepy story.
Fable 3
It wasn't just awful, it was "grab you by the scruff of your neck and rub your nose in that tar colored filth pile" awful.

eww... I just tried this last night and it seemed so bland and boring. I think I got to the part where I first used a sword and then was very very bored.Von Dean said:
With this, I agree with the problems. I love the game but really wish the timer would just go and die already. Or at least give us a real time version where 1 hour equals 1 hour. Let us adjust the speed of the clock. The games (both part 1 and 2) had these fun concepts and then I feel like I can't enjoy the actual game because I have to go rush to do something.FuzzySeduction said:
Worst game huh? Well I suppose the worst for me would be Enslaved: Odysey to the West. Its not that bad overall but very little replay value and the combat, while powerful, isn't massively interesting. Also I didn't like the ending.
In comparison it is nowhere near as bad as some of the other worst games here but this is because most of the time I massively research the games I plan to buy. Enslaved was a small laps in judgement.
Another contender is Sonic the Hedgehog but I've still played that much more than I have played Enslaved. I enjoy a good bossfight and Sonic provides. Also the soundtrack is epic in places.
Well if the pyramid guy is just trying to help humanity, explain the massive laser death scorpions and rolling robotic death squads. He killed several people including Pygsy, a main character I was just starting to like.

Yeah, I really liked the concept, a free roam zombie game. But I agree with the fact that I don't like the fact it is timed. It made it seem too linear, also, I kept forgetting to save, and when I did go to save after more than 2 hours of gameplay:FuzzySeduction said:
I went into a bathroom to save, with low health but someone in there was waiting for me 
I died and rage quitted.

Portal 2. Ugly, boring, linear and repetative are 4 words I would use to describe this game. I only got this because it got fairly cheap and because everyone from reviewers to normal people and even Yahtzee gave me the impression that Portal 2 was the second coming of Jesus in videogame form.
I must have got a dud version because I was bored after about an hour, I played on in the hope that it would get better, but it never did and after you lose Glados (Glados being the one redeeming feature the game has) the game becomes quite possibly the dullest, brownest game I have ever played.

Probably Alpha Protocol. I was so looking forward to it and thought it would be pretty decent. But it's just...just awful.
I thought it was bad.. really, really bad..gmaverick019 said:
And I hated the way it started, it was just 'pick cop, go kill bad guys.' There was hardly any sense of plot or storyline -__-
I have to agree with that. About 10 minutes in I was running around smashing people and snatching up little sisters drinking their goop. Then it was like "oh I get it I turned into an amoral splicer in just 10 minutes. I am no different then the horrible mutants." Maybe I watch too much old Twilight Zone episodes and figured that out way too fast. Indecently I liked Halo, the first one, better. If just for the music. I think if something is popular to hate/love more and more people jump on the bandwagon making it "fact."SirBryghtside said:I'm preparing for the flamethrowers to be unleashed unto me, but...
BioShock. Yes, BioShock 1, not 2.
The symbolism that I was told would be all over the place... isn't, or at least not any good. The gameplay is mediocre at best, and the feeling that they made it stupidly difficult and then added the Vita-Chambers for 'balance' is inescapable. It's not scary, and the plasmids, while being the best part of the game, become useless against any foe that possesses more of a challenge than basic splicer.
...glad I got that off my chest
that is true, and i thought that would be apparent from the games case..but to each their own.Sean Hollyman said:
what do you consider to be a good sandbox game then? just curious, i have yet to encounter a sandbox game that actually had a good storyline (GTA games are alright..but good god do they get old fast if you aren't just having fun)
I do suppose that crackdown wasn't amazing until the "meta" game of it, i guess is why i enjoyed it so much, once you get to later on in the game where your superpowers are at insane levels (jumping over 5 story buildings? hell yeah!) and every enemy on the rooftop is strapped with a heat seeking missile, it got pretty intense.
