What the f*** were they thinking?

[mattttherman3]

Darksiders, no block button, I putr the game down and didn't touch it till it was due back to the store.

 

[Pyotr Romanov]

Haha just got to that bit too, so fucking random. Well I was hopeing Dragon Age to be like Baldur's Gate, but when I realised how the spells worked, I was like, omgwtfhax (which is a another word that has to go if you've seen that thread)

Ehm... So how did the spells work? I've never played Baldur's gate, though I wish I had, but care to explain what the huge difference is?

OT: I'm not sure, I'm really bad at remembering that kind of stuff. I usually just think "Huh? Why...? Oh well. *Forget*".

 

[Mordwyl]

Utawarerumono was a feudal Japanese story which turned into a sci-fi spiritual one right at the end. Stuff like this doesn't affect me anymore if the game keeps its entertainment value.

SNIP

I would have rather fought 30 Scions on a long straight bridge with only 1 piece of cover. =P

Me too...*sees 30 Scions together on one straight bridge* "Cain! Oh Cain! You're needed in here." *puts on sunglasses and watches the blast*

Serious Sam all the way for giving be the biggest head ache ever. Also Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem was just made of pure awesome! "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm aaaaaalllll outta gum!"

My moment would probably be my let down at the end of Mass Effect 2 with the Human Reaper. I just thought it was such a lame ending. Plus the fact that they made it so you can get like 12 guns in the whole game instead of the thousands in ME1. ME2 was still a great game, had a great story, great characters(one of my favorite series to this day), but a Human Reaper was fucking lame in my opinion.

I agree! Mass Effect 2 was a serious anti-climaz worthy of an FPS rather than Bioware - RPG wonderlads. The problem was the middle part of the game was far too long and the ending was like a burp after an excellent three course meal. It could easily have been x10 more epic if they had made it a) harder b)not a human reaper c) better music and d) completely different.

Oh, God. I totally forgot about ME2's ending. That was so anticlimactic.
I was expecting something big and awesome

after watching Tali, Jack and Mordin die,

and nothing...

I fixed that for you but thanks for ruining it for me. You big meanie.

Hang on...you tell him to spoiler the deaths but not the

Spoiler

Human Reaper part?

That doesn't make any sense...

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

When they changed the controls on Tomb Raider series from the first games.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Ninja's huh. I actually think thats kinda cool

 

[Nooners]

When i logged on to TF2 for the first time and thought. WTF who would make such a terrible game

Care to elaborate on what made TF2 "such a terrible game"?

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

By the way sorry to all who didn't know about the:

=P

 

[Katana314]

About the TF2 guy. I cannot stress this enough; DO NOT FEED THE TROLL. Don't worry about it because no one agrees with him. Just IGNORE COMPLETELY. Jeez.

 

[Aptspire]

Superman 64's ending
way to put a s*** cherry on top of the whole s*** sunday, Titus

"You saved your friends...but Lex Luthor is still alive"

 

[nick n stuff]

uncharted 1. i don't know how to insert a spoiler thing so i'll be cryptic. the game is realistic (as in no guns that don't exist or places that don't or what not). there could be a guy who does that kind of stuff with ridiculoius good luck and i liked that about the game. however, towards the end they introduce something that makes you say the thread title over and over again. if you know what i mean holler.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

I think the ninjas were supposed to accentuate the silly, over-the-top B movie style of the game.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

I was playing Just Cause 2 today and came upon the part where the ninjas are introduced. Yes, ninjas, with swords.. in a shooting game. Dont worry, they soon pulled out their guns and I realised the swords were just asthetic.. But really.. Ninjas?!?
So I ask you: What gaming moment made you think "What the f*** were they thinking?"

And incase your wondering, the letters blocked out by stars are 'lob'

Just so you know, you can swear as much as you fucking want to here. The mods don't fucking care. It's pretty awesome.

OT: The real Mario 2 (the Japanese one). Flying squids? Craziness.

 

[Altorin]

Ninjas are cool, and apparently they have uzis

 

[Zersy]

I'm still questioning what they were thinking when they chose to exclude Co-op from Killzone 2.
The game was practically made for the concept![footnote]After all, you almost always have a buddy with you.[/footnote] I understand that it had issues running (if I recall that interview correctly) but the lack of co-op, which seemed like a tailor-made concept for it, was just an outright blow to the face.

But Garza was the only nice one. Then Rico has to go ahead and kill him.... damn rico is a very unlikeable character....

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Shadow Hearts: From The New World

SH had 20 fusions, SH Covenant had 23 fusions, SH From The New World had... 5

5?
5?!!

What the f*ck were they thinking?!

That entire game was a wtf!? moment. Talking cats? Broody stripping indians? No real link to the series whatsoever apart from one minor recurring character and the same battle system?

Eeshk, that game was a mess.

 

[Dok Zombie]

Setting the last few levels of Mirrors edge in confining corridors and air-ducts.

At that point I gave up and started playing the time-trials instead.

Never did complete it, although I occasionally stick it on the try and beat my best times.

Nintendo, as soon as they moved into the "Casual" market

Heaven forbid that a business company (an organisation existing to make money) might want to try and expand the market and increase their profits! Shame on them!
*shakes fist angrily*

OT: EA turning the Red Alert series into a parody. I love 2, but I've been put off getting 3 by the bright colours and backlash from fans...

I grew up playing Red Alert and I love the third game. It's the best working RTS on a console (Halo Wars was OK, but I hate having fixed positions to build on) and they were ALWAYS a parody! Come on, did you really take that "wooden nickel" line seriously?
