Wait... There are missions?Cookiegerard said:
Anyway,
Demon's Souls- The tutorial, its optional, but it has free stuff, so I always end up going through it.
Gran Turismo- Dirt and snow tracks.
Borderlands- Singleplayer is boring as hell.
Geneforge series- Playing with low shaping abilities makes it insanely hard.
I completed Killzone 3 on elite.... It was like I pulled down my pants and yelled RAPE ME .... Good times, good times.Trezu said:
But yea Killzone 2/3 needs more story that's what got me into the series in the 1st plaice and Killzone3 with it's lack of 6axis sniper control.
Dawn of War 2, securing Angel Gate. You have to have one unit capturing the gate at all times, taking him out of combat. This is all well an fine, but near the end they drop 4 Carnifexes [Carnifexii?] right on your damn head. This isnt too bad if youre on normal or easy, unlike I, who played it on Hard my first playthrough. All squads dead within minutes, and thats including Thule who was taken out by the most over powered enemy in the game: Fucking Spore mines. 2 of them put out the strongest member of my team. I broke the mouse in a bout of furious blind nerd rage.
Bayonetta: QTEs come out of nowhere and are extremely unforgiving. Also, some of the enemies (the golden clawed guys come to mind) are a pain in the ass to fight on higher difficulty levels.
Halo: Reach: Elites on Legendary. SIT STILL YOU JERKS
Vanquish: Can't manually shut off Critical Health AR when you aren't in danger. 99% of my deaths in that game come from being shot all to hell because I used up all my energy in that stupid mode.
Red Dead Redemption: Auto-Aim makes the game too easy, no aim assist makes the game frustrating. There isn't really any middle ground. Also, weapon balance is crappy. No reason to use anything but a repeater rifle until the very last tier of weapons. Then you actually get a decent pistol. Then the game ends.
Brutal Legend: Drowning Doom players who spam Reapers. Also, playing through SP again is kind of a chore, what with 75% of it being tutorial.
Alpha Protocol: Depending on your build, the game is either confusingly easy or impossibly difficult. Some of the bosses have to be planned for WAY ahead of time if you don't want a long, frustrating time with them (coughBRAYKOcough).
Mass Effect 2: The fighting, while competent, is somewhat boring. Enemies do too much damage to encourage risk-taking or aggressive fighting, so most of the game, no matter your class, is just popping in and out of cover taking pot shots.
Deus Ex: Terrible voice acting. Also, the graphics weren't very good, even for its day.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas: This is more of a personal problem, but since I went out of my way to do pretty much everything I could on the first playthrough, I feel little incentive to play the games again. I'll start new characters, get a few hours in, and just remember the huge slog ahead of me and simply lose interest.
Alan Wake: Needs more enemy variety. And the character's mouth movements look kinda strange.
Max Payne 2: Some REALLY, REALLY cheap deaths. Also, the final boss gives absolutely no clue on how to beat him. Annoying, as conventional tactics don't work. Its basically a puzzle, but no one bothers to tell you.

Monday Night Combat:
Unforgiving on mistakes, you pick assassin when everyone on the enemy team picks tank? Do you want to switch classes? Go on, try! Oh no... the class you picked has no upgrades or money to spend on upgrades.
Spending money on the wrong upgrade makes it impossible to survive long enough to get more money.
Warriors Orochi 2:
Cavalry or people on horseback on your own team push you away from your enemies.
The Survival Mode wasn't a bigger part of the game.
Devil Kings:
Enemies stunlock you until death.
You call this easy mode? Demon's Souls is 3 times easier than this! I have to EXP grind or get very lucky to complete a level!
Portal 2:
Repetitive music during the past appeture and the wheatley levels.
SSBB:
Laggy Wifi.
Fanbase from hell.

Left 4 Dead 2:
Survivor bots won't pick up melee weapons, throw able items, or exploding/incendiary ammo.
Psychonauts:
The gameplay isn't nearly as good as it should be.
Time Splitters: Future Perfect:
Sometimes, on loading screens, I get a disk read error and have to take the game out and put it back in, sometimes up to ten times, before it starts to work.

Wait, you let the bots live? Usually, if there are 2 other human players, we kill the bot, since they have a tendency to waste medkits, stand right in front of your blazing machine gun, or run off to some corner and start crying when a special incaps them. I can't tell you how many times I've been scoped in firing on random zombies when coach puts his fat rear end in front of my scope right before I click (and it's when I turn like 5 degrees, so it's not like I turn all the way around and see coach, he steps right in front).thatonedude11 said:
Similar thing here. I can't ever bring myself to do the "bad karma" type of quests (even in paradise falls, can't bring myself to do the whole slaver thing, so I instead go on a killing spree of other slavers), so I've finished all the "good karma" ones and got nothing left.Ordinaryundone said:
My all time favourite game is GTA: San Andreas.
I always hated the part where you get flushed out to the countryside. Storywise its a huge shake-up and I love the juxtaposition of CJ being on top of the world with his friends, family and gang, then his world being turned completely upside down without warning to the point where he has to up and flee town. In terms of story development, I loved this.
It SUCKED, however, how tedious the area was to navigate, how unecessarily huge it is, and how uninteresting the missions and characters were (I didn't like The Truth until a bit later on in the game).
That is the only low point, in terms of gameplay, of a game that I otherwise enjoy incredibly.

Tales of Vesperia's (xbox360 version) bonus dungeon is just a copy-paste of several other areas from the rest of the game connected by little warp bubbles. In order to fight the bonus boss of the dungeon and unlock the entire 2nd half of the arena you have to collect 15 fake gald (gald = money). Fake gald is a very rare drop/find from anything in the dungeon. You cannot save in the dungeon and you fight powered up versions of previous bosses.
I love games like DotA, HoN or LoL.
But that makes it so much more of a shame when you have some idiot who knows nothing and hasn't put the time in to change that on your team, or have multiple idiots doing the same. Especially when it's DotA and HoN where, unlike LoL, it's a much bigger disadvantage and can turn the tide of the match in an instant.

This is also a pretty valid complaint - I've played a lot of TF2 and a good amount of my hits are fake-backstabs. It makes me think I've got it covered only to not kill them and instead die. I mean, I could've used that moment of spare time to activate my dead ringer! D:<Midgeamoo said:
Never, and I mean never before in my life, have I nearly broken a controller than attempting to beat this ***** on her 2nd race in the Cloud Cuckooland races. If you've done this just for the Cheato page reward, then you know exactly what I am talking about.
Mass Effect 2: Harbinger and his cheap-ass, knock-you-out-of-cover energy ball, when combined with Collector Assassins.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest-Toxic Tower. IF you've played this game, you know and hate it.

KOTOR
- It doesn't run on my current PC for some annoying reason; I even bought it from Steam and tried to run compatibility mode on that and it didn't work...
- In the actual game, its probably being forced to play through Taris. I wasn't too bothered with the Lower and Undercity parts, but the Upper city was so dull...
KOTOR 2
- The Ending; Malachor V = urgh...
- The randomised loot system royally screwing me up once in a while; one play-through I found only one short lightsaber and the rest were ALL double-bladed (and I'd built a doubled-bladed too XP); that and the fact I never got to see a couple of the late-game items, ever.
- The fact there are unfinished bits in it.
The Total War Series
- Inevitably backstabbing AI, even when it will spell certain doom for them.
- AI conjuring units out of thin air so they can attack a settlement behind the frontlines which they couldn't because I have a wall of armies just to prevent that from occurring.
- Pathfinding in settlements (I have lost battles because of it)
- Unfairly short time limits in the grand campaign of Shogun 2
