Criticise your favourite game

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Shadow of the Colossus: The 15th colossus is a complete *****, he never gets close enough to the bridge for you to jump onto him and if he does decide to comply, he does so at random.

Bioshock: The gameplay drags on in parts, namely the hephaestus section and mostly everything after the plot twist. Also, the chemical thrower is fucking useless and the big daddys all go down with a few grenades.

Personally, I'd argue that the Chemical Thrower is one of the more useful weapons in the game.

The Liquid Nitrogen ammo lets you hack machines without using Eve, which is extra-useful during the section where you don't have access to your plasmids. And the Electric Gel basically gives you free kills for any Big Daddy, if you have a full tank. And the flamethrower... well, it's just fun to use. Love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Bioshock is also my favorite game, and my only real issue is with that ONE section right before the end. The escort quest. Why, why was that necessary?

Chrono Trigger is too good. It makes me play it too much!

Serious answer: Chrono Cross sometimes doesn't give you enough information to go on. Very frustrating in a game like that.

That's true. Considering the world map is so small, you lose that "Turn on the game, look where you are on the map and have an idea where you might need to go" if you haven't played for months (something we lost when we stopped needing multiple discs as well/when these games got so damned linear.)

Glad to see a Chrono Cross fan though!

Feeling is mutual. They're out there, but Cross is a game that people had mixed opinions about.

In full disclosure, I really, truly despise Chrono Trigger. The thing is, Chrono Cross basically had to happen. It had to show people everything the first game fucked up. And then you get to fix it. My idea of a good time.

Forza Motorsport 4 cut a lot of great tracks out from Forza 3, for no good reason

Wait, what? I own both and they only added a few new tracks to 4, they didn't take any away...

They took out the long version of Rally Di Positano, the King Cobra Test Tracks, the Bugatti layout of Le Mans and New York. All of those except NY were a big loss in my opinion.

Ahh. I never liked Rally Di Positano (my favorite is the extreme-circuit Camino Viejo de Montserrat) so I guess that's why I didn't notice. What are the King Cobra Test Tracks like? Where they Forza 3 DLC? I can't seem to remember those...

I loved Positano, it was one of my favourite tracks. Camino Extreme is really good too but I preferred Positano much more. When I say King Cobra I mean Sidewinder Proving Grounds. I always call it King Cobra since that's what they called it in Forza 2 and I just never got out of the habit. It was a really long track with loads of really tight and technical sections to it. It had tons of layouts too which were really fun. It was a DLC track and LCE content too.

This is the best video I could find of the track:

Spoiler

But like a lot of the original tracks in Forza I can't help but feel it had much more personality in Forza 1.

GTA San Andreas has some grindy-ass methods of leveling up, mainly the gym. Oh, and the framerate isn't perfect and I didn't find the main character compelling.

Tribes Ascend is too fast!

 

[Lunar Templar]

Final fantasy 6 . It's my favorite game , things that annoy me are .... Ummm....uhhh ... I got nothing that game is perfect . I guess if i WANTED to be nitpicky it COULD use some updated graphics? Nah it's perfect how it is . BUT What the hell is the step counter for ? I mean really!

Step Mine, i guess? it's Blue Magic thought .....

OT:
City Of Heroes: could use a more 'involving' combat system then it has, but with out sacrificing the verity of power is has.

Vindictus: the story needs help (read: re-written) in spots and could use a few more dungeon crawls at high levels over all the raids

 

[geK0]

Majorah's Mask:

All the character models are recycled from OOT!!! That's lazy character design right there!

Myth 2: Dont know it, noobs look it up its like the best rts ever made <-

Sometimes your trow gets stuck in the flat terrain by bad meshes and 3rd party plugins. This is a real pain especially on tournament games

* Herron guard turns turns around 90 degrees to heal, fixed now with the latest patch but used to be a real pain especially in a heron guard hero fight, where healing at the last moment is needed so you get full usage out of your mandrake roots.

Hmmmm, Mount & Blade: Warband is on its own fairly limited. Thank god for the modding community that has made me spend nearly 800 hours on the game.

You have to admit though it's a freakin mess when you start a kingdom after taking a castle.

You already pissed off whatever kingdom owned that castle/town but because you're currently weak all the other kingdoms are gonna join in on what generally turns into a gang-bang...

But yeah, that game is kick-ass but without mods it would become a bit flavourless after a while, especially the 1 ladder per castle crap in siege mode. So boring, so slow.

Yeah making your own kingdom was hell in native. Some of the mods fixed a lot on that front. Between Pendor, Brytenwalda and Nord Invasion I have all my bases covered.

The battle sizer is a great help too if you have a stronger machine.

Captcha: Turkey Sandwhich... Great now I'm hungry again.

Shadow of the collosus

Good freaking god, why is the end boss so hard?!? And even if you're almost done killing him, if he throws you off, too bad, start climbing. Took me eight tries to beat him.

 

[The X Magus X Hunter]

I have some...

Ninja Gaiden 2: Has pretty annoying camera angles.

Sonic Adventure: One of the most glitchiest games I've ever played. (But It's Still Awesome!)

Super Smash Bros Melee: The whole game got incredibly boring.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Skyrim: Some people find you hard to get into. Also your a hiking simulator.

Saints Row Series: The Third was a pretty big let down. Doing all the side quests in the second one unlocked unlimited ammo cheats which made things easy, but giving me a predator drone after the second mission? I want a god damn challenge in my whacky crime game. I want the feeling of actually achieving all my cool stuff and pulling myself out of the streets to the penthouses. It doesn't help that I master the art of the head shot in most FPS's.

 

[Truniron]

- Final Fantasy IX: The characters tend to have at rather childish look (like how some of the people was animal in human forms) and the difficulty can sometimes be a little too easy.

- Lufia and the Fortress of Doom: While the boss battle theme is really awesome, the normal battle theme is so ...ugh. I don´t like it.

- Lufia II Rise of the Sinnistrals: Have a tendency to send you somewhere without a clue where to go, leaving you to aimlessly roam the world searching for a specific place.

- Pokemon (all of them): While some pokemon evolve at a decent level, some of them requires you to go beyond level 50 before they evolve to stage 1! That is unnecessary, and should be changed in future games.

Mass Effect 2 has like 5 weapons, I guess that's just a reaction to playing through ME a whole bunch of times and having all that choice

WarCraft 3, I dunno, bad or lacking community? Generic? Shit characters?
