Honestly, I don't know. I just saw it on a guys post, clicked on it, and decided to get my own.the_tramp said:I've noticed this in a few of your posts... what the hell is this!?

On topic: Final Fantasy X-2. I kept saying to myself "it must get better" so forced myself through it, very disappointed with this.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on hard. It's a chore, but a fun chore which is a kind of oxymoron. It's long, laborious and repetitive but I loved doing practically the same thing over and over (the optional missions) again to get the better items.
Must be a better example... The beginning stages of any GTA game in which it presumes no prior knowledge of previous games so it teaches you the basic controls of EVERYTHING despite myself using these techniques to make the earlier tutorials easier.
Far Cry 2 was horribly unfun at times; the missions of each type were exactly the same so you just repeated them over and over. I forget what the structure was so I can't remember whether you were required to do them all or I just did them out of compulsion, but it definitely became a chore. Also it didn't help that an outpost would fully respawn as soon as you turned the corner, meaning if you came back the same way you had to do it again! All of which is a shame, because the gameplay was great.
I would definitely echo the comments re: MW2 multiplayer, still stuck in it to be honest! I didn't find the single player in it too bad this time around but the earlier CoD games were terrible, they would just throw endless numbers of enemies at you.

I considered that, my problem is that at some point my guys eventually have to heal.ShadowKatt said:
Gears of War 2. Level 100. I don't know why I'm still trying but today I got to level 99 and I'm so fucking frustrated with it I never want to see the game again once I get 100, at one point it seriously was like having a second job.
I've heard about this game from a friend who has played it.. Add this to the list of reasons why I'd neevr touch Disgaea personally. (I'd watch it though, looks like a good story)Aby_Z said:
Hmm... Beating some of the Phoenix Wright cases after awhile are like "OH FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD CAN WE JUST END THIS NOW, PLEASE?!"
That's true, but once you have thunder and ice magic refine from Quetzecotl and Shiva respectively, you can refine 100 thunder or blizzard from items you can buy. Junction those to your HP and Vitality, and you cut down on your damage taken. From there, like I said, I did this before the fire cavern. Bite bugs, glacial eyes, fastitocalons. They're not that dangerous. You'll need to switch spells to stock long before you die. Heal then, then start stocking some more!SargentToughie said:
I agree that killing everything in your path gets boring after, oh, around 45 seconds, but it's not compulsory at all, and there's lots more to do in that game.unholyavenger13 said:
World of Warcraft was a job from the word "Go". A five year job of feeding Blizzard the last few scraps of my soul... [sub]Five years... Five years... Five... Years...[/sub]
