Be a man (Say something you hated about a game you Love)

[easternflame]

-Oblivion:
Bad character modeling.
Bad leveling
-RDR story ending huge spoiler:

Spoiler

John dies which isn't so bad but, I hate his son

-Mass Effect 2:
Its dialogue system is too bad. It's just broken once you analyze it. Be a dick, be neutral, be a lovely person. I could go on all day about this point.

Note that these 3 (and portal) are on my top 5 favorite games list. I love them and they have other flaws but right now is what I can think of.

The lack of actual signs of a living world in Oblivion. The world was a static thing that never changed based on your actions or those around you. It definately made the world flat-feeling.

 

[berettastorm88]

i love you mass effect(1)! but your damn lack of auto saves has me replaying 5 hours of the game ive already beaten just because a random krogan ran up and insta killed me... but i guess i just need to stop relying on auto saves.

Oblivion your in my heart forever but i need bigger and more epic battles! (im hoping there going to fix that in skyrim)

WoW i miss classic pre-BC WoW, i loved 40mans! :"(

S.T.A.K.E.R. i uhh... hmm... there are some stuff but cant think of anything big though :\

Pikmin and its unforgiving time limit

Batman Arkham Asylum: The post death bits were entertaining but I wish they would stop after you died 10 or so times in one room. They just made it too long between death and re try when I was already super frustrated. Also: sometimes they would repeat themselves and that was irritating.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: When it came out I LOVED this game but if anyone else remembers the impossibly hard Expelliarmus battle with Goyle then they also remember MALFOYS FRIGGIN ANNOYING LAUGH GRAAAAAH. I still hear it grating my ears to this very day, not even kidding.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood: I love this game to death but every so often Ezio would decide that what I was telling him to do wasn't good enough and run up the wrong wall or jump in a random damn direction. Double edged sword of contextual controls I guess...

Dragon Age 2: I liked it a lot and the story was interesting just... not enough of a through-line. To me it felt like a series of R A Salvatore books where Drizzt continues to be the main character but its still 3 separate stories with minimal connections. Also I didn't like that no matter what you do you still need to fight BOTH of the final bosses, I had hoped your actions might have effected theirs a little more.

I can do this all day, I like to think that even games I love are not immune to scrutiny.

Mass effect 2 : I love the game and story but , after a while i began to realize the mission structure of each mission is identical - land on planet , get out , kill stuff, talk to / save someone - fly away , haha more variety please

So vary true - one of the reasons I can't bring myself to complete a second playthrough - its so damn repetitive if you actually stop playing and think about what you're doing :/ (I guess that explains why I don't MMORPG

Jet Force Gemini: Cute N64 game, class, a great blast to play... only you can't access the final boss until you've foun hundreds of bloody teddybears strewn across a huge number of complex maps with secrets and alternate routes that I just kept finding. Plus, if you didn't find all of them in an area they returned. And there was no way of permanently killing off the enemies or anything, no work-arounds, and walkthroughs were too tedious to bother with just to complete the game. Bad design decision, imo.

 

[Blemontea]

Alright *cracksknuckles* ill give you three

Shadow of the Colossus: The 3rd Colossus needs better hints on what to do on him, or just a complete removal.

Rayman 2: Will you keep Globox's Character consistent in the sequels or show some growth as to why he is now the way he is.

Dark Cloud 2: I love the Inventing system, its creative and unique and i havent seen any other game do it. I think no other game has done it because its way to deep and they're way to many photos to take.

I'm another Mass Effect fan. Playing through the first one again recently I realized how atrocious the cover system was. And it really pisses me off that they went to the "thermal clip" system to genericalize things in the second one. Of course nothing more needs to be said about planet scanning, but here I am saying it.

Portal 2 was fun, but in the middle section when you have to look around to find the one portal holding wall way off in the distance to move on got real old real fast.

I'm playing through Second Sight right now and I really like the game, but man the camera wobbles around badly and the controls in general can get pretty finicky and inelegant.

While we're on inelegant controls I'll say Mirror's Edge as well. I love love love Mirror's Edge, but you either need to make your controls precise enough that I don't run on a wall in just the wrong way to send me to the pit of death instead of to where I want to go or make the courses more forgiving. And while we're at it the achievements were too hard for me. Even if I enjoy your game I don't have hours to dump into grinding a course over and over to shave off two seconds so I can get another star.

 

[MFenix]

That they won't make a Star Wars BattleFront 3. If we can get a new Twisted Metal why not give us SWB3? I would totally forgive Sony for this whole hacking thing if they did.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Baldur's Gate has a really slow combat system if you're a mage, and you have to rest every five minutes just so you can do some decent dps. Might have worked if they rebalanced the AD&D rules for the game, but I guess BioWare was too lazy.

Persona 4 has Teddie. He's unbearable.

And don't worry about what the hardcore fans say. Considering that most of them still play the shit out of SMT 1, they're, at best, biased, at worst crazy, so whatever.

Persona 4. You were the best send off for the PS2, but goddamn, did your plot just meander at times.

Persona 3. For a game centered around friendship and bonds, you think you'd be able to hang out with people in your social group asides the girls. Seriously, your so-called best friend maybe only has 10 minutes of non-dickhead dialougue aimed at the MC.

No More Heroes 2. Stop fucking around with symbolism and allegory and let me leave this goddamn parking lot. I don't need you to take half an hour of killing dudes to show me how killing for revenge is a useless task. You already used the first one to exaggerate how shitty the life of a gamer is.

.hack G.U. Please don't assume that everyone read the 3 mangas, watched the 3 animes, 7 novels, 4 books, and 4 OVAs right after we went through the trouble of playing 4 games that don't even get any plot relevance asides a growling, stitchy thing, 6 years later.

Pokémon B/W has the entire bottom screen being c-gear. I would rather another version of the pokétch or something like SS/HG had which allows menu access without pressing a button.

I would have to agree with this. The pokétch and the menu were both very awesome.

Also Tales of Symphonia should have had better multiplayer... screen only focused on player 1 so all the other players would either have to attack to same enemy or attack blindly. Would be nice if we got to skip dialogues (not cut scenes those were totally awesome!).

Tales of Vesperia, let us skip dialogue here too. Here they let you skip cut scenes on the second playthrough which I found very neat. I miss the qucik jump option form Tales of Symphonia here though... Things look so great that I can forgive it though.

 

[armpit]

No More Heroes (the second one)

When you have a weapon clash and have to spin the wiimote in a circle, or at least that's what they tell you. I find myself losing them repetitively, and the boss battle weapon clashes can be very unforgiving. Then I find out that I can win by shaking the controller wildly. Would have been nice to know that before I screwed up my wrist.

 

[Custard_Angel]

Banjo Tooie.

The Canary Mary challenge in the final level was fucking impossible. Seriously.

I haven't seen anyone that could beat it without the use of a turbo controller...

Canary Mary was the single reason that I never 100% completed Banjo Tooie.

Forever I will be stuck with the 99.8% completion that I have.

 

[sylekage]

Singularity.

The TMD device is this badass awesome machine where you can revert things, slow down time in a bubble, turn soldiers into dust, and make a giant tanker unsink itself and yet the "you can pick things up and then throw them!" mechanic shoots it like, 3 feet and that's it.

If you let me shoot something for kicks, let me throw it a bit farther than that.

But good Lord was that a great game

 

[Lunar Templar]

Devil May Cry

Fuck the shooting sequences. Space Harrier does not belong in my Devil May Cry.

o.o?? you mean bayonetta maybe?

The Legacy of Kain (all of it)

plot, VO and over all presentation where AWESOME if the narrative was a book I'd have bought it a long time ago

the game play >.> fell flat, in that its pretty dull when you have to kill something and there's bits in Soul Reaver 2 that are just bullshit far as what they throw at you

 

[PureIrony]

Mass Effect 2: Most of your DLC is bullshit, you're upgrades system is too simplistic, and the Paragon/Renegade meter requiring full adherence to a certain alignment undermines the roleplaying aspect. I don't actually mind the planet-scanning, though.

It hurts to say this. It really does.

 

[Fidelias]

Kotor 2; All those freaking cut features that would've made it PERFECT!!! bugs, bugs, and more bugs... Unable to get cool-looking dark-side looking robes... more bugs...

Stalker; bugs, practically un-playable without finding the right combination of mods, when you haven't saved for 2 hours and you stumble on a group of well-equiped soldiers that kill you with one perfect head-shot...

Mass Effect 2; probing planets... so boring...

 

[Drexlor]

Metal Gear Solid 4
If you don't know what you are doing, you can get destroyed in about 5 seconds
I wish the codec was still mapped to the select button
Surprisingly, no complaints about the cutscenes.

 

[clarissa]

Tales of the Abyss is my truly beloved game of all time and the thing I really, really hate about it is the crucial point in the history, which is a spoiler (someone dies).
Besides that, the game is perfect in every single aspect of it. I can't find any flaws I would condemn the same I find in the other games...
Apart from the RPG world, my fav is Muramasa and I have that is is so difficult to the point I love it. Stayed a week without writing properly because of it and it was worth the pain.
