Gaming Blasphemy!!!

[acklumos]

Well, I think Half-Life 2 is a generic piece of crap(don't hurt me! the original half-life was good!) and I (for the most part) utterly despise multiplayer games (notable exceptions being MAG, TF2, BF:BC, Bioshock 2, and cooperative multiplayer games).

 

[Rishtaka]

Considering most of the first pages posts... I love Final Fantasy games *gasp* =P

Realistically I think there should just be the top few games of each genre which should at least be rent worthy for someone to try before saying they don't like a genre. It's up to everyone to choose what they like and do or don't play.

I don't have any must haves, I just feel sorry for gamers who cheat themselves out of good non-mainstream games. like no more heroes, bayonetta, and zack and wiki.

I've criticised Steam, by daring to mention in a thread around here once that it didn't allow you to play games offline (which, at one time, was true) but about a hundred people jumped on me at once to point out Offline Mode and tell me that I was stupid not to know about it.

It was really hypocritical, because it is the DEFINITION of stupidity to expect others to have all the same knowledge as what you do of a system. Polite corrections, meanwhile, would have been welcome - had there been any.

I also seriously dislike the Assassin's Creed series, despite owning the first game. The glitches that made my PS3 crash constantly, the pointless flag system that failed to lengthen the already very short game, the far too easy fighting system which was solved just by pressing two buttons over and over again... and the horrible repetitiveness of every mission, and that's to say nothing of sub-missions.

And before anyone says anything, yes, I hear that the sequel has fixed almost all of those things, but that doesn't make me want to buy it. The fact that Ubisoft robbed me of my good funds with that absolutely average, overrated piece of crap that was the first game, has totally turned me off to giving them any money for any game in the future, no matter how critically acclaimed.

Wait, lemme double check these.
You criticise a system for not having a specific feature that it actually has. Then you complain when people rip into you for your inaccurate criticism? Yeah, I'll agree that they should be polite and shouldn't automatically assume you know the same things that they do, but in this situation you really SHOULD have known that.

Second: You criticise a game series on it's flawed first game. You refuse to play the second one because you believe it will still have those exact flaws, despite every gaming critic praising it for REMOVING said flaws? So you won't play the good second game because you wasted money on the first. Pro-tip: That money is still wasted, whether you buy the second game or not.

Whether or not I "should've" known something is not for you to decide, oh Holy Judge of All That Must Be Judged.

That money ISN'T still wasted because there are other things that are perfectly good that I'm open to. Try real logic instead of pretending taking down one good option takes them all down. The point is that I'm trying to make a point to Ubisoft by not giving them one hundred good dollars for something after they gave me something that was poorly done, which they'd managed to sell through good PR.

I'm not missing out because I can spend that money on good games from more consistent series, or else on other things that are entirely my business and not yours.

Hey, chill.
If your criticising something it's appropriate to know all the facts. Can you seriously disagree with that?

And the money IS still wasted. Let's look at the situations.
You don't buy any game with the new money: One game's worth of money gone, no games worth of enjoyment.
You buy a different, better game: Two game's worth of money gone, one game's enjoyment.
You buy AC2: Two game's worth of money gone, one game's enjoyment.
AC1 being shit has no bearing on AC2 being good. And I doubt Ubisoft will really care. They have so many customers I don't really see how you refusing to buy a game (after they actually listen to reviews, and fix the goddamn problems) is sending a message.

I play what I want to play, not what some guys on the internet told me to

 

[slowpoke999]

It seems like no company or game is safe, seriously someone tell me one that is perfect and I'll try and knock it down.

 

[XzarTheMad]

I dislike and/or hate JRPGs, the Final Fantasy games, the Devil May Cry games, the Halo games, most if not all of the battlefield/call of duty/medal of honor/"realistic war shooters", anything by Hideo Kojima, I absolutely loathe Kingdom Hearts, I find the Zelda franchise boring, I am unimpressed by virtually all console platforming games, I find games like God of War to be repetitive drivel, and I generally dislike everything that modern gaming has become.

What do I like? VALVe, Bethesda, Blizzard. Rockstar to some extend. And good RTS games.

i liked driving my cazan to bowling and to go see big american titties.

 

[juliett_lima]

gaming blasphemy. . .?

um, anyone who says they enjoyed the story arc of halo 2 & 3. . . I guess 'tis not blasphemy, but. . . innocence? ignorance of better times? who knows. . .

 

[Aesir23]

Bless me gaming-father for I have sinned.

I have never played Half Life, I wasn't too fond of Bioshock, and I like JRPGs.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'm sorry to tell you, but Ocarina of Time sucks compared to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. To the point of: Why bother with OoT?

 

[Sgt. Dante]

never played much of the half life series, just didn't take to them. to me there isn't much to set them apart from the other generic shooters you played as a kid.

 

[Silent but Violent]

I'm a PC gamer, and think Halo 1 (haven't played the rest) wasn't all that bad. I voiced this opinion among my other PCGamer friends - the response was disturbing. I felt like I'd just got caught smiling at an emo party.
