"Damn, that game has got the WORST __________ ever!"

Demon's Souls' mechanics, I guess. I'm talking about world tendency. Who thought it would be a good idea to make the game harder if you die??

Vehicle physics in Just Cause 2 were just awful.
Poke into a rock or tree and the car would fly away.

Hey, don't forget about the God-awful voice acting.

Indeed. They were mostly passable however, except for that communist *****.
Every time she opened her mouth I wanted to destroy the TV.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

Just Cause 2 has the worst voice acting, I've heard this year...

Your ally's AIs are pretty damn stupid in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. My assassins keep dieing because they get glitched out and just stand there.

Gears of war 1 had some of the stupidest friendly AI

to clarify i am a massive gears lover
but Dom was a fucking idiot
i could never have beaten RAAM on insane without co-op
because Dom's tactic in every situation is to run into no mans land and become a bullet magnet, which works for about a second until he's downed and yells constantly to be revived

Sonic 06 has the worst controls I have ever experienced in a game.

It also has the worst loading times i've had to deal with as well.

Read what I wrote again. The worst writing Blizzard has ever done. As much as I would like to accuse it of the worst writing ever, I can't, but it was damn disappointing to say the least. This, of course, only counting games since Starcraft because almost no games before that had much writing involved.

Also, if you think Battle.net is better than it ever was, you're the type of person they're trying to appeal with it. The non-discriminating. I'm sorry to say, you're the lowest common denominator. The argument has been laid out a million times before, but naturally there are always people who miss it. You tell me what's so good about these things compared to the previous incarnations of Battle.net:
-The publishing system, only allowing map makers to upload a total of 40 megabytes of data within a limit of 10 maps.
-The other side of the publishing system, the popularity system, which basically only lets people play the 20-25 most popular maps. You can't name maps, for which reason 99% of games you'll ever play will be filled with complete and utter retards and there's nothing you can do about it unless you're able to fill all the slots friends. Also, the autostart feature. What's so good about that?
-The lack of p2p. Everything is played on Blizzard's servers. This is a huge technical issue and it's precisely what prevents the play of any of those FPS maps Blizzard touted the mapmaker capable of running.
-Censorship. Speaks for itself.
-Lack of chat channels. Speaks for itself. They're only working for it because of the huge outcry of the community; before that, it hadn't even occurred to them that people might want to communicate in groups based on their interests and what not.
-1 character per account. Pure, utter bullshit designed to suck more money from the players.
-Regional restrictions. Again, a money-grubbing attempt.
-The best thing about Starcraft 2, the matchmaking system, is inherently flawed and inaccurate because of one thing - the bonus pool. I can't think of any reason why it's there except that some simple-minded people like bigger numbers in the amount of points they get from winning.

I'll have a wild guess why you think it's a better system than the Battle.nets before it. Is it achievements? Or is it because you've never played on them?

First off, quit acting superior. I disagree with you, deal with it. You aren't cool just for hating StarCraft II.

I read what you wrote. I disagreed with it. Frozen Throne (and all of the WarCraft except for Reign of Chaos for that matter) is worse. I don't care if WarCraft I and II came before StarCraft, the writing was still bad, and they still count as blizzard games. The Diablo franchise isn't that great either. "There's a demon! Kill it!"

And when people say they were disappointed in the writing, they really mean that what they thought should happen didn't happen. I liked the story. Don't be snotty because I disagree with you.

I'm not upset about Battle.Net because it doesn't let me swear. I don't care about mods, because while they're fun, I bought StarCraft II to play StarCraft II, not some user-made shooter. If you payed $60 to get the mapmaker or play mods, then that's your problem.

And yeah. There's one character per account. That's not bullshit, that's just so you can't share the game with people who haven't paid for it. Since when is being friends with someone who owns the game enough to entitle you to free shit?

I don't care about the lack of channels. If I want to talk about the game, there are forums, and they are adequate.

The bonus pool makes sense to me. It's pretty simple, actually. I don't see what's hard to understand about it.

And your last little statement to me, quit being a dick. I like Battle.Net the way it is now. I have played on Battle.Net before then. I would also like the new Battle.net more with or without achievements. It is more efficient, less buggy, and the matchmaking system is one of the best around, despite your baseless attack on the bonus pool.

disagree with the story comment

Play Warcraft 3.[/quote]

i have played warcraft 3 and in truth starcraft 2 had good writing you just have to remember its only one of three peices of the same story. In truth i think the worst writeing they ever did was for brood wars though the zerg campain was good the rest of the games writeing kinda sucked.(not saying the game did cause the game rocked just wanted to make that clear I can however see why you would think the writing bad since they made WOL the first of 3 stories which i know alot of people hated but please wait till all are released before you say that it has bad writeing i mean its like judgeing a book from its first chapter.

The problem, even ignoring all the glaring plot holes, the horribly over dramatic, cheesy writing and literally no exposition on almost anything, is that the argument of "it's the same length" doesn't hold up. About half the missions have literally nothing to do with the plot, and the other half is still padded out as to have enough content to be compared to Blizzard's other games. Content as in gameplay wise, not story. If we had to write down and count the amount of the major events of Warcraft 3 versus Starcraft 2, I think you'd be surprised which game would win by a landslide. This is something I'm more and more tempted to do each time this argument arises - play through each game and write these things down. One day it will happen.

man im just saying wait and play all the stories before you judge them i mean if you just played as the humans in warcraft 3 youed get about as much story (and less game play) so relax wait till you play the rest of the game. Now i will say that i wish blizzard would have waited and put them all together but to be honest the only ones to blame for that were the fans who just couldnt wait and kept screaming for it to be put out as soon as possible. that being said the game was good and like i said this is only chapter one plz wait till at least chapter 2 before you bash it.

See, you just admitted it, that's the whole point. Warcraft 3 could manage as much story (better written, too, in my terribly humble opinion), as this whole game, in one of four of its campaigns. Note, also, that things in the story apparently haven't changed since 2007, so it's impossible that they wouldn't have had the time since the announcement and now to iron it out. It was a conscious decision to pad out the story as much as possible and stretch it over 3 games.

true the story is done problem is it take time to fit that to game play and lets face it i know you and i could have waited another 2 years for it but what about the other fans? In all fairness to blizz they did the best they could with the time they had the game plays great the story is good (maybe ,and i most turely stress this maybe, the worst writeing for blizz but that still 10 times better then most other games) and looks beutifull.

now if you want to see bad writeing look at too human....... dear lord you have the best consept ever and you fuck it up how?!

Starcraft 2 has the worst writing Blizzard has ever done and the most stupidly restricting online system Blizzard has ever done.

"Hey guys! This is how we're going to make the story for Starcraft 2! Go on TV Tropes and search for anything Science Fiction!"

^ As some other person put it wonderfully in a different way.

Starcraft 2:Worst Story. Funny how the gap between the last Starcraft is 9 years? Sure that wasn't the build time but as people say, they don't have idea men. Yet the 9 years of at least thinking about what happens in Starcraft 2 and they give us a piss-poor Campaign? Nice!

My choice for this:

Saint's Row 2 on the PC has the most horrendous driving control I've ever seen. Multiply that by the game becoming extremely laggy if you go over 10 km/h and you're going to end up melded to a street lamp/car/old lady doing shopping every time you touch a vehicle. The only things actually drivable in that game are aircraft.

I can second that. I hear everyone saying how that is an awesome game, but I just can't get over how bad the driving is. I never got past the first couple of missions.

My example: Resident Evil 4 is the worst PC port I have ever seen. The game was gorgeous on the PS2, and it looks like sh*t on the PC. The controls are also a mess. They didn't so much "port" the game as they "threw" it onto the PC without any kind of adaption.

Speaking of ports, The Godfather was also poorly ported to the PC IMO, because they simply "forgot" to tweak the control for the keyboard+mouse combination we all know and love; having a joypad is almost mandatory if you want to play that game. And no, I don't have one...
