It seemed to me you were just trying to be flamebait by saying several insanely popular series all at the same time that would induce rage and not giving any reason to back it up.Aura Guardian said:
"Great" games that failed to blow you away

bioshock. it was good, but not the life changing event that i had heard it was going to be. maybe it was the hype. i just didn't care about rapture or anyone in it. though i will admit that the scene in andrew ryans office was preatty awesome.
Edit: i believe that bloodythoughts is thinking of FF13. 14 is not out anywhere. unless you are part of the development team i doubt you have played any part of it.

You sir have stated verbatim how I feel about Halo. I gave it a shot as much as possible just because all of my friends played it but I just didn't see the hype. It's a space marine shooter, nothing more. Anyone who says it was the first is also the kind of person who believes that Stephenie Meyer invented werewolves.Furburt said:
Yeah I know, but you could at least phrase your negative opinions as to not blatantly piss of the people who do enjoy that which you have a negative opinion about; ie 'tactfully'.s69-5 said:
BTW, when I say 'you' I mean it generically, not specifically.
I tried about 3 times. Still couldn't get into X-2.s69-5 said:
The all girl team didn't bother me.
Since I'm getting FFXIII for the Xbox soon, the more I here about it, the happier I'll get.
I still want another Digital Devil Saga. That series is underrated.
I didn't think that I needed back-up when the title says "Great". Those titles are considered to be great...just not to some.Yodobama said:
Oblivion
Fallout 3
All the Final Fantasy games
GTA 4
L4D2
World of Warcraft
Metal Gear Solid 3
Resident Evil 4 (and 5, but I don't really know if that counts as a "great" game)
Gears of War
Ocarina of Time
Red Alert 3
The Sims games and their respective expansion packs
Baldur's gate
The first Splinter Cell on current-gen consoles, can't remember what it's called
There are probably more, but I'm all out of bile.

MW2 recently went to the bottom of my list of games I liked when I decided to put CoD4 into the xbox and have some fun... What I found was that the first game was alot more fun to play online.
Also I have to say Gears of War 1 & 2 are just mindless shooters that bore the pants off me the only amusing bit was watching the people get burnt by the laser gun called down from space.
And having just played the new Splinter Cell:Conviction demo I have to say way to screw up stealth gaming ubisoft!!

Bioshock was good, but I think it declined in quality really badly towards the end. Fallout 3 was good for the most part, but it didn't have many standout moments.
Apart from that most of the great games I play have been as good as I'd hoped. Chinatown Wars for the DS, Mario Galaxy and the Orange Box were all awesome.

Mirror's Edge- I didn't like the controls or the "story"
Grand Theft Auto series- I get that they are great sandbox games, but I don't like the driving and shooting, which are the biggest parts of the game, besides GTA IV's story.
Gears of War- I was told by all my friends that GoW was "the game to play." I bought the first and hated it- controls, third-person view, and the freaking driving level in campaign. I bought the second one because I was promised that it would be way better and would keep me playing for months... I traded it into GameStop after the first week. Nothing was made better to me, except for the controls which were slightly better to me. I'm probably only going to get GoW3 just to see another Carmine die (yep, I'm psychotic to an extent)

Any sports game that has new iterations every year with little to no innovation.
I'm looking at you, Madden.

The Uncharted Series
Raiden series (slow ships in a shmup? no thanks. This doesn't include Fighter's Aces as that was originally slated as other games.)
Indigo Prophecy, I completed it out of spite.
Mass Effect...kinda. I have a love/hate relationship with that one.
And, The grand Theft Autos were enjoyable, just not AMAZING.

Mass effect 2. In the attempt to make the game less flawed than the first one, they made it boring. The thing I loved about the last game was the multitude of weapons and armor. Now you are lucky to find the 4 or so different types of weapons in the game. Plus the game forces you to the boring stuff like upgrade your ship. I just felt jipped. The last game was worse gameplay wise, but I actually felt connected to the character.
