The end boss of FF IX. I love the game to death, but that boss made absolutely no sense to the storyline.
"Yeah, we fucking won! Wait, who's this asshole? OH SHI-"

OT: Why the Hell are the Eidolons in FF13 so underpowered? I mean they really aren't worth the effort.

Haven't read through the whole thread but... A single player game with a permanent need of INTERNET (Assassin's Creed 2) ?! What were they thinking ?! What if I don't have an internet and I am on a laptop far away from home and just want to play .. huh *sigh*

Seriously, the best representation of this issue. It seems like developers just lost it somewhere at the 3/4 of the game and said "Argh, fuck it!" and that's how the last few chapters came into fruition. I have no words.

The Gears of War and Halo series. Two series that have pretty much perfected their area of game-play.

However, both of these have a deep, dark background that they completely fail to bring across into the games themselves. Look at the trailers for both of the series, that's the kind of atmosphere they are capable of, and yet they miss it out completely when it comes to actually playing the bloody games themselves.

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.
Well...
Yeah...

But in between the lousy atmosphere, stupid protagonists, flimsy story, loss of depth and an uninspired magic system, I just felt so damn annoyed by the loss of überharmonixer Yuri Hyuga.

But, we all know WHY Yuri couldn't make his return, so I took peace with that. But then give us some chick with 4 'spirits' and a kid with 1 'malice form' was just inexcusable.

(and admit it, in Covenant they made a sweet move with the Key Of Solomon, but then they just had to rape it in New World)

It remembered me of the time as was waiting for FF X-2 to see the new summons...

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'
thats the best idea ever!

90% of the decisions Namco has made wit hit's recent games.

Honestly they aren't even just bad or lazy changes or money grubbing ones, most of them have no conceivable reason for their existence, as though the company is literally trying to sabotage itself, both in terms of its profits AND it's standing in the eyes of its fans.

ALL MMO's. (OK, most, not all.)
Seriously. I don't understand how clicking on enemies once and pressing a bunch of numbers can be fun (which is what games are supposed to be about). That's my opinion at least.

Super Smash Bros Brawl, the whole game!!.. Especially the tripping though, who ever idea that was should be fired and never aloud to work in gaming ever again along with who ever was in the room at the time who went along with the idea instead of calling said person an idiot.

(to the first part I know "what the f***" they were thinking, and that was, "eff the fans, lets make as much $$ on this as possible instead"

They were probebly thinking:

GameDesigner#1: "Dude!... NINJAS!"
GameDesigner#2: "..."
Both GameDesigners: "...EXELENT!" *guitarsolo*

Soul Calibur IV, hooray for 8-minute-campaigns. Seriously, what were they thinking?
Soul Calibur III had a really decent story mode, so why did they made it like this?

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"
Don't you mean Superman 64 in general?

My turn:

Games for Windows Live: What were they thinking?
No dedicated servers in MW2: What were they thinking?
Not making a new game in the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series already: WHAT THE F^$# WERE THEY THINKING?

Yeah, that crap with the girl, whatsherface with the demons and fetishes (where the heck did those come form anyway?) and the kid who seemed to have a lightsaber knife...I just replayed Shadow Hearts 1 in the end, to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth. Man, Yuri is awesome.

Compared to Shadow Hearts 3, Final Fantasy X-2 was a classic, and thats a lot considering it made me want to put my eyes out with a spork. Bad times, bad times.
