Mario 64, my friends played it religisly but to me it was just a derivitive and simple racer. i didint get the digital devil saga either. I love love the shin megami tensei series usually but the dd saga appeared to have stript of all that made that series great.
Apparently Awsome Games

Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. It's weird because I really liked the first PM (it was the first game I beat, actually). I dunno, my GameCube got very little love after my PS2 game collection began to grow. I never bought a Wii, nor will I.
Oh yeah, and Final Fantasy VII is nauseatingly overrated, I can't see what all the fuss over Halo is about (Call of Duty kicks its ass), and Fire Emblem games always start to get unbearably boring at the time I'm at the last level (holy shit, give us a way to revive characters; I've spent more time restarting than I have strategizing). I gave up on them after playing both American Game Boy releases to their respective last levels.

i couldnt get into starcraft very much because of the lack of everything (starcraft 2 on the other hand im looking foward to)
and halo...overhyped and a truely mediocre game, nothing special. To quote Yhatzee "what it is is average.. a run over the mill"

I have to admit, I originally bought into to the whole "OMGZOR ITZ THREE-DEE M4RIO!" excitement that was going on, but once that novelty wore off, I found it to be rather pointless and bland. Sunshine was a little better, and I'm quite fond of Galaxy.
What does it mean to be foo-ed upon? What is the appropriate reaction I should take?Tinq said:
Another vote here for Mario64 and Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. I'm also adding in Devil May Cry 3 and Warcraft 3.
Finally, Shadow of the Colossus. Seriously, am I the only person to find that game mind-numbingly boring? Like, honestly, does anyone out there agree with me, cause I've yet to meet that person. There has to be somebody somewhere who thinks that just 16 enemies in one entire game is boring. Are you out there? Am I alone? Does this make me a bad person?
As a final note, foo on all you FFVII haters.
im gonna have to agree with starcraft, and for that matter the warcraft games as well. they can be quite fun, espically those missions where you have a limited amount of troops, but for the most part its just endlessly collecting resources until youve built up enough of the strongest troops available and rush the enemy camp.
also, the call of duty games. everyone keeps talking about how intense and gripping they are but all ive ever seen out of the game is a boring, monotanous romp through a sub-par single player campagin. the multiplayer as well feels just like a clone of cs and tf depending on the game mode as well.
and finally half life 2. i understand why its praised so much but i just couldnt get into it. loved hl and opfor, but had to force myself to finish hl2. not a bad game, but i did have to force myself through a good portion of it.

Oh theres no problem with persona 3 (it came out last fri here) its a return to the slightly twisted form for shin megami tensei, fusing better demons through the power of friendship! Yay!Baba booey said:despite how mediocre it was, I do plan to get persona 3 final cut for 30$Gormless said:
I think you might be alone on that one, but I don't think it's grounds for feeling guilty. There's still time for you to come around.Selka said:
In all seriousness, playing Shadow of the Colossus was what got me back into video games and to start taking them seriously from an intellectual & critical point of view. I just didn't know they made games like that until I fired it up on a whim. Haven't looked back since.
CoD 2 and 4. Tonnes of technical problems they refuse to do anything about or even acknowledge exist. Bland and "dumbed-down" shooting (probably to appeal to CS players)
Maybe it's because I entered the series with CoD:UO which was amazing to me. It had realistic recoil, bullet leading, sprinting and vehicles, cooking 'nade, ect. I think it's the game that got me into tactical shooters. Then come CoD2 with it's spray and pray zero recoil noscope no sights lawl shottie throw your grenade at a cloud gameplay with guns that came in two categories "good (44/tommy/rifles/shotties)" and "nearly useless(everything else)". Then add the problem of being near impossible to play competitively without a steady 125fps and less than 60 ping. Bullets that hit you after you've moved behind cover and seemingly random hit detection.
Then came CoD4 and everyone was like "ZOMG SHINEYz" and all of a sudden it's goty. Almost all the problems that made 2 so unplayable persisted. As a whole it was a definitely better. Ping and fps wern't as huge as cod2 (still quite a nuisance), but the problem of "good guns and peashooters" was as obvious as ever.
And sniper rifles are still broken.

You're not alone! I thought SOTC was one of the most overrated games for the PS2. I was expecting each boss to be a completely individual puzzle which would take you up to an hour to defeat- nope. Just find a way onto the colossus, stay on, stab shiny bit. Repeat. Zzzzzzz... Pretty game, dull gameplay, stupid story.
I also played Fallout 1&2 recently and just couldn't do it. The interface sucks and the game is just unbelievably fugly now. I gave up after about an hour so that my eyes didn't melt. I'm sure for it's time the game was fantastic, but it just doesn't stand up now. Mind you, I did try to play it right after Baldurs Gate 2 so my opinion may have been swayed by the pure awesome of BG2. Fallout Tactics on the other hand, is absolute genius
mine will be, yes everyone shoot me down and flame me CoD4 sure it had good graphics but i couldnt enjoy it i tried so hard but the fun went away afer 1-2 howers of gameplay and i could just never enjoy it. Im sorry to all the CoD lovers out there but i dont like it
Probably Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. The game demo misleads you into thinking it's fun, then you go to play the real thing only to find out that you've been lied to. It would have been nice if it used a decent "multiple infiltration" style like in Deus Ex, but as it stood the whole alarm limitation and trying to sneak by enemies that have 360 degree x-ray vision was extremely frustrating.
Every RPG every made.
Whats the point paying a game where you click once, then wait your turn? Seriously, you're armed with some sci-fi death cannon, the ability to summon demons, cast spells or just plain stab fools.
Yet you stand there patiently while the enemy thumps you one...
Also Halo 3, apart from Rocket baseball, that game delivered nothing new.

Assassins Creed.
I just got it for the PC.
The gameplay is repedative, the missions are way too similar to each other, the dialogue is absymal.. at best. The mini-missions are laughable and on top of that the AI is poor.
Either it's me or this game is really not all that fun.
