What? No.... Nintendo thrives off originality and kittens, I can't remember the last time they milked a dead cow.nathan-dts said:

Yeah! *goes to play Zelda: phantom hourglass* (Ironically I am playing it)pantsoffdanceoff said:
Obvious sarcasm aside, the kittens thing probably is right (also dogz, horsez, hamsterz(why do they all have z's?)).
"Elite" units in RTS'es. Somehow they're either way overpowered, or completely useless. In essence they're gamebreaking: either you'll only be pumping those out or you'll be gimped as a faction/race just for having 'em in your repetoire.
Point in case: Mammoth Tanks from Red Alert. Did anyone really build anything else?

weapon degeneration. its just annoying no matter what game its in.
it doesnt feel right when it breaks before it kills any enemy (RE outbreak)
and it always costes about three kidneys worth of cash to repair it in RPGs.

Yeah, No More Heroes, LostWinds, Metroid Prime 3, WarioWare: Smooth Moves and Okami don't exist. /sarcasmpantsoffdanceoff said:
My contribution to this thread is games that let you truly choose your path. I haven't found any. In my experience they're either horribly limited or they only give the illusion of choice. It's especially jarring when the "evil" route is more of a "selfish jerk" route. Even if you play through "properly" once (that is, actually playing a role rather than just choosing the "best" option), once is usually all that you can do without it becoming repetitive. You can't do anything creative, either, because any creative moves on your part have to be anticipated by the programmer and a reaction inserted into the game.
Open world shoot em ups.
Far Cry 2 tried it, gave us the same 4 missions repeated ad-infinitum. Adding in the sense of variety, suspense and urgency that all shooters need is difficult when you can always run away. Plus it didn't work, not the concept, the game just... doesn't... work.
Fallout 3, excellent, but the shooting is more gentleman's duel than circle strafe. Limits the actuall shooter element to the game slightly.

Flatout.
Only played the first one so far and while the mini games are fun, the game proper seems to be in the way and while playing it, it doesn't feel like you're actually doing anything but possibly guiding a car around some corners. Is Flatout 2 any tighter with the controls?

Every Single Zombie game ever made never did it right even left 4 dead, and by right I mean where you could turn into a zombie and then turn an entire city into zombies over a course of a 20 hour campaign.
I don't think it's about it doing badly. A lot of stores were selling recently released games for half price in the run up to Christmas and now the January sales are here they need to keep a momentum going. Credit crunch and all that. Besides, I wouldn't complain about games being affordable!harhol said:
