That took me an embarrassingly long time to beat, especially considering how much easier the Joker fight was afterwards (still took me a while, but nothing compared to what you described) But in terms of worst boss fight in terms of BS, I'm about to win the thread: Gears of War 2...

When there are more villains/rebels/bandits/raiders in a world than regular people. World of Warcraft does this most egregiously, with 100 Defias bandits (might be homeless people post-Cataclysm?) for every farmer in Elwynn Forest, for example. How could they possible survive, let alone make a...

Rome: Total War (especially SPQR mod, which I'm convinced would take infinite time and craziness to conquer completely) Mount & Blade: Warband & Sid Meier's Pirates! (combat never gets old, and there's so much to do) Galactic Civilizations II & Civilization IV (randomly generated maps FTW)...

Smithing is your friend. As long as you continue clearing dungeons, you're bound to find higher level stuff eventually, but much later than you'd be able to craft it. Plus, smiths can improve armor and weapons by more than 50% if they're skilled and equipped properly. Edit: ninja'd

1) The law requires you to pay for such content. Merely breaking the law is not a valid form of protest against it, and that is reason enough to be against piracy IMO. (If you actually want to get these laws changed, try coming up with a rational argument for starters) 2) The developers and...

Meh, as long as there were still stats in the background they would eventually be figured out--and in the meantime you'd suffer in combat and other situations. Trial-and-error is a remarkably unfun gameplay mechanic, IMHO, and it sounds like that would be the only consistent way to learn what...

Gears of War: You hide behind stuff and occasionally pop out and move to the next hiding spot. Total War: Watch infinite clones of roughly 20 unique guys line up and hit each other for hundreds of hours. Crysis: Activate Camo and walk through some (concrete) jungle WWII Online: Spawn...

I bet the werewolf you see and possibly a temporary transformation of yourself will be for a cool side quest, but only that. It would be really cool if it worked throughout the game like vampirism, though.

The missions are all going to be even more linear than ME2's, aren't they... *sigh*

If you bring them to Gamestop within a couple months of release, you can easily get $20-30 for them. I wish I didn't have to, as I often get urges to play some old game or another, but in order for me to be able to afford more than a couple new games a year it's necessary. There's nothing...

how about the simple fact that he'd fucking hate you for basically saying "I will give him a stupid name so he's bullied more so he learns to toughen up!"? Just because you think that's a good idea doesn't mean your son will be equally unreasonable. Of course, I'm sure he'll hate such nitwit...

Pre-ordered and bought TWO copies of FUEL, that open-world extreme-weather racing game a couple years ago, so my brother and I could play online together. Turns out the game was like 500 sq. mi. of desolate, fugly bullshit. Traded them 1 week later for $30 total :(

I'll be impressed when a guy does that :P EDIT: ...not that I'd want to watch it

Quite a few posters are surprisingly willing to kill billions of people just so the rest (naturally including themselves and their own monkeyspheres) don't have to deal with any "population problems". The whole point of solving societal problems like overpopulation is to improve the quality of...

It's downright miserable when you're stuck with debilitating, chronic medical conditions. From my own limited experience, I'd say anything above that and living in a warzone seems pretty damn good in comparison.
