Congratulations on having a new favorite Bioware game! KOTOR 2 was Obsidian's work.dancinginfernal said:
OP: You have some major problems Record of Agarest War, but I still love you.
I was always surprised they didn't do more with the possibilities of user generated content with Mirrors Edge. I guess once the writing was on the wall the interest in making the most of it just drifted away. Real shame, could have been something amazing in the end... mind you that is kinda the type of game I was after with this threadLook-a-Hill said:
Good to hear some interesting views on Dragon Age 2 as well - I'm more tempted by it now than I was after seeing the initial reaction.
the strange thing about DA 2 is that there are many criticisms to be made about this, and that, but when you're done nitpicking and back up a bit, it's still bloody brilliant!ScoopMeister said:
Captcha: johansson rvicyc? what now? Lord Inglip is proabably a bit drunk.
... what? It really wasn't any of those? Short, compared to Underground 2? Seriously? Underground 2 took me a whole 45 minutes to beat. Only time it was hard was towards the end (back in Jersey) on the hardest difficulty.Revolutionary said:
OT: BioShock 2, FEAR 2, and pretty much any game that realizes fun comes before everything.
Mega Man X8. The character's movements feel kind of clunky, Zero's special moves kind of suck compared to the moves he had in previous games (mainly because they're way too slow), you spend way too long staring at a loadscreen/menu every time you lose all of your lives on a level, and I liked X's charged shots better in the previous games.
In earlier games, fully charged shots were reasonably powerful and took reasonably long to charge, and rapid fire uncharged shots were still good against normal enemies. But in X8, charged shots take forever to charge, and they're these giant "take up half the screen and kill pretty much anything in its path that isn't a midboss/boss" waves of death. And you need fully charged shots to break enemy barriers. Not to mention your normal shots fly over the heads of the hard hat guys.
Still the most awesome game in the series, seeing as how the levels themselves actually put up a decent fight (I'm one of the 5 people that actually LIKE Burn Rooster's "ZOMG SPIKES EVERYWHERE" stage), the boss fights are the hardest in the series, and I like the tag-team action.

Starfox adventures, i mean its pretty much everything a starfox game should not be, but its AWESOME
Soulstorm for Warhammer 40k DoW. It was so cheesy and took many liberties with the tabletop rules, but i just loved the Sisters of Battle and their completely ridiculous and fanatic one liners.
Dear god, that game's myriad issues are only surpassed by it's incredible successes. If only they'd been able to finish it, it might've been our citizen kane, as it stands it is merely superb.dancinginfernal said:
Some of my favorites are riddled with bugs: Fallout 3 goty, Saints Row 2, San Andreas.
They?re all really fun.... When they work.
Otherwise, I don?t really pay attention to the opinions of critics. It?s hard to tell they pan on anything, it seems to me that they overrate everything.

Kotor 2 is not a Bioware game, only the first one was.dancinginfernal said:
the sequel was made by Obsidian Entertainment (aka: the sequel guys). seriously just look at their wikipedia page. Alpha Protocol is the only original IP theyve developed so far
and Kotor 2 is still their best game, despite being their first.
i can forgive Far Cry 2. i didnt really like the single player campaign, so much so that i couldnt stand to play past like 12% of it. but the multiplayer was fun and interesting, and the map editor was fantastic.
Surprisingly I liked Resident Evil 5 a lot because the controls were different from all other games at the time. It was also helped by the story being at least somewhat funny and Albert Wesker being a badass in a leather trench-coat. Make a note that I have not yet played Resident Evil 4 so that probably influenced my opinion of it, but I still had fun with it
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was riddled with bugs and some laughable NPCs. The setting and absolute creepiness of the game set the immersion really well and the glitches were easily ignorable. One time I threw a grenade at an enemy and he ran off the top of a building. Soooo... LOL!
My friend got Far Cry 2 for the first time recently. Playing it made me regret selling my copy. Yes, it was flawed, but daaaamn...those graphics! And exploring was great when you weren't getting ambushed by patrols every 5 minutes.Chaza said:
I loved the first Just Cause, although for some reason others didn't. Sure, it was a bit repetitive, but it was great to explore and find new vehicles. The new one was too limited in its weapons and vehicles and just didn't deliver for me in the same way the first did. Shame...lots of potential.
And the Tony Hawk games were a huge part of my childhood. Looking back, they're probably not as good as I remember...still a hell of a lot of fun though.
