Okay, I think we all have stumbled into those games at least once. I'll list mine.
F-Zero GX; I know there are quite a handfull that do like this game, but I still declare it the worst game I've ever played, I don't know how the players that do like this game are able to get over the isues I had with it. but I've b****** about it in previous posts before, so I'll just say in short that playing this game to me was like having to solve a rubix cube blindfolded and with recently burnt hands.
Crackdown; Unlike F-Zero GX, I don't consider it a horrible game, I simply consider it a very boring game. I thought the combat had some balance issues and was somewhat generic, the driving felt obnoxious, and they give you the ability to jump several fett in the air only to still make going up certain rooftops and being in high places somewhat unforgiving, and they wasn't much to do in Pacific City aside from killing the gangs, go through racing challenges, and find hidden collectables. I've played bad movie tie-in games that had more variety than this.
Dragon Age: Origins; I know it might seem shocking, but just hear me out on this. I don't consider Dragon Age to be a horrible game or even much of a boring game, Like the Mass Effect games, Dragon Age does have an interesting story that in ways did keep me interested enough to play it through to the end, and I do like alot of the characters, especially the companions, Bioware did a great job characterizing them well enough that I do find myself caring alot about them even when I don't always agree with them in certain moments.
but here are my troubles with the game, I did find the combat a little boring, not enough that it ruins the game for me, and the game's story while the thing I had some of enjoyment of the game with is also in some ways my biggest problem with the game.
I know Bioware's approach in making the game was to make it a dark fantasy, but half the things I see from the writing seem to imply they were trying too hard in that approach, slightly in a Tastes Like Dirt sort of fashion (look it up on TV Tropes) and some elements don't seem to have reason to be put here, like what's up with writing so that Grey Wardens only live to be 30? their lives are already on the line fighting Darkspawn, especially the ArchDemon, so what's the point?
but enough about me, what games do you think are overrated?
