Criticize your favorite game.

Max Payne 2.

It ended, I wanted it to be forever. Oh, and the drug sequences are slightly annoying when you're replaying it for the 10th time.

No.. really.. those get annoying? ;P

What about combat being really quite repetative with little variation, and the fact that I forgot how many times I reloaded after a fight I won just because I got shot a couple of times and didn't want to have to use some of my precious painkillers.

The story and atmosphere compensates many times though..

You're playing it wrong. Trying to survive with a tiny bit of health encourages making good use of the bullet time and makes for some very tense and involving play. I know it's tempting to abuse the quick load button but...just don't.

Repetative?...aren't all games? What is there is masterfully delivered, the mechanics are quite satisfying, and yes!...I am defending this game too hard because I love it.

Every GTA game since GTA3: Controlling anything other than a car is frustrating and messy. I'm not asking for MS Flight Simulator controls for the planes, but surely Rockstar can come up with something that works a bit better...

KOTOR 2: Is an incomplete game.

Burnout Paradise: Where's my offline multiplayer?

Oblivion: Oh, hey, this cave looks awfully similar to the last fifteen I was in...

L4D2: Grind grind grind, fun grind, but grind none the less

 

[GameOverGoblin]

Well, my favorite series (which is the Legend of Zelda, if you haven't noticed by now) is just basically one game, but remade 13 times (14 times if you count Zelda Wii).

As for my favorite game, Ocarina of Time, well I only hated one part of it: Navi.

 

[Clueless Hero]

KOTOR 1 and 2 simply did not age well, especially in terms of graphics.
Mass Effect 1 and 2 are pretty predictable.
Looking back, Fallout 3 is just plain boring without mods.

But of all these, this one pains me the most to say...Team Fortress 2 is dying a very slow, painful death.

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

FFVII has bad graphics and dodgy translation issues.

the thing I hate is the "Aeris" "Aerith" thing, thats stupid.
ITS F**KING AERIS, AERITH ISNT EVEN A NAME!!!!!

 

[SoranMBane]

Half-Life 2:
-Gordon can beat zombies and soldiers to death with a crowbar, but apparently he can't do a pull-up.
-Those idiot rebels that walk straight into sniper fire and hopper mines.
-And on the subject of the rebels, that fucking annoying escort mission thing at the end of Episode 1 (I usually only stick through it because I like the strider fight that comes after).
-Where the hell is Adrian Shephard?!
-Ravenholm was REALLY scary the first time, I admit, but on all subsequent playthroughs, it only felt about as scary as any other level.
-The airboat controls were pretty sucky, although I did like the chopper battle near the end of that chapter.

Portal:
-***** promised me cake! D:<

Call of Duty 4:
-Modern Warfare 2.

 

[ShankHA32]

Dragon Age: Origins, the dialogue isn't witty...oh wait yes it is.
I think my main complaint would be the side quests which can get repetitive.

Team Fortress 2: The people that think they can play sniper. Also, the heavy is too damn easy to be mediocre with.

 

[fluffybunny937]

Dragon Age Origins
What was the deal with Awakening? someone must have really dropped the ball there.

 

[laol1999]

mega man battle network games
i dont know why i love these games considering the battling is really repetitave and you only have 9 squares to stand in

 

[teutonicman]

Knights of the Old Republic; the romance cutscenes were bullshit. Combat got repetitive and could be easy to exploit. Some of the boss battles felt cheap.... no, anti-climatic thanks to some of the short-comings in the combat system.

 

[Tharwen]

Portal:

Carrying things is extremely awkward and you drop them when you go through portals.
There wasn't enough opportunity for hardcore speedportalling (I don't care if I made that up, it's still a word) and hardcore turret fights. Otherwise, you have to play something else for your action fix.
The Cube Dies

Rome - Total War:

The AI for walking around cities is absolutely terrible. Also, having one soldier stuck on a rock means that the whole unit has to wait for him.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Metal Gear Solid 3: Can't walk while crouching

That's it

 

[Giantcain]

Disgaea: really obscure difficulty curve it starts out normal then gets really difficult then normal again.

Jade cocoon 2: Mugwort + mugwort = mels elixer 1 Mels elixer 1 + Mels elixer 1 = Mugwort.

Dark chronicle / dark cloud 2: damn medal challenges the firsrt on on the first floor in the game is dont heal on a floor where a clown can remove bout 1/5th of your life of in one hit.

 

[Julianking93]

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is dated by today's standards.

That's really it. That game is nearly perfect.

 

[Yossarian1507]

Unless you're in the right mindset, the writing of the sex scenes in Tsukihime is cringe-inducingly awful. And no mindset helps for some of them.

Hah! I remember playing Fate/Stay Night and loving every moment of it since the start of UBW route, with the exception of those horrible, horrible sex scenes (I set the auto read for the highest speed possible, turned off the screen, read some books and turn on the screen again when the music indicating sex scene disappeared ).

You don't even know, how happy I was, when I saw that I can install Tsukihime without this crap ^^.

Anyway, OT:

Heavy Rain - Not enough choices for the game that makes the biggest selling point on it. It's kickass anyway.

 

[Macgyvercas]

This is too easy...but anyway:

Ocarina of Time: Navi was incredibly annoying. I understand the usefulness of an NPC who tells you where you need to go and what you need to do, but there is no excuse for being that annoying. I must find that glitch that lets you set her on fire...

EDIT:

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is dated by today's standards.

That's really it. That game is nearly perfect.

Fixed. I love that game.

Metal Solid 1
- The characters don´t have faces.
+ They don´t need them, they have the best voice acting ever.

- The cutscenes are too damn long.
+ That was the way i learned to speak in english.

 

[laststandman]

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion...

...I give up, the game's damn near perfect

Bad NPCs maybe? But that doesn't even hinder the gameplay

 

[RanD00M]

Kingdom Hearts.
The camera controls suck.But you get used to them.
Jumping completely sucks.It's seriously annoying trying to do some dodge-y platforming in it.
Too little Kairi.
