The ones made by Bethesda? or the originals made by Interplay/Black Isle?bibblles said:
I don't like the ones made by Bethesda - it was nice and good looking, but if you've played Oblivion before, and you've also played the original Fallout series - you find that it can't seem to decide where it wants to go. Sure the world is massive and all... but that's not a selling point.
It's not funny and brilliantly written like the originals, using the VATS system is like cheating, and there's something terribly rigid about a game that is TRYING to be so lifelike... you don't walk or run... it feels like you're kind of hovering instead... (a known gripe in Oblivion) everything just behaves so... scripted and prescribed and it's left nothing to the imagination.
I loved the originals. But I actually don't quite understand why so many people like the newer series.
tetris, I mean COMON it's so unrealistic, it's not even falling the way normal blocks would
okay, seriously, dragon age, with the exception of baldurs gate, i played ALL bioware rpgs, but dragon age is (in contrast) just boring, repetetive and doesn't have one haracter that can be cared about, or just simply interesting enough apart from some npcs
but it seems like I'm alone with this

No that would be number 2bulldogftw said:
You most certainly are not alone sir! Dragon age is mind numbing tripe in comparison to baldurs gate, the plot is thin, totally unoriginal and apparent in its entirety from pretty much the first 1/2 hours play.. AND (yes theres an and) the RPG mechanics suck big hairy donkey balls, mostly because there is so little choice (for an RPG) and what there is is pretty insipid and bland. DAO is without a doubt the most over hyped RPG in the history of gaming and is possibly the worst RPG i've ever played (unless you care to count jade Empire though that's more of a hack n'slash IMO), and i've been playing RPGs since the early 90's.hyker said:
Little Big Planet. I despise this game. Nearly everyone I meet talks about how this is an amazing game and when I ask them why they usually give the responses because it is really colourful and creative, you get to create your own levels or because it is cute. Sadly just because the environment can be made of anything doesn't make the levels fun. I just get bored with the plain boring platforming, the gameplay is boring. Finally I cannot be bothered making a level, I want levels made for me. If you build it then it won't be any fun to play. End rant.
I would say deus ex.
Of course it was revolutionary for its time and stuff but most certainly not the best PC game.
Fanboys really need to stick their heads out of 2000 and look at what 2010 has to offer.
There are plenty of games that blow deus ex apart to pieces.

The Metal Gear Solid series. Don't get me wrong, MGS1 was fun and had an okay story. Then I played MGS2, which was fun but had a unbelievably retarded story. It's rare that a game with decent or better gameplay can scare me off by offering an awful plot, but that's what happened. Especially since MGS4 is mostly cutscenery. Found myself agreeing with Yahtzee's column about Hideo Kojima having some weird issues with women as well.
I know it's not technically a part of Half-Life itself, but it's free if you have the HL1 disc.
Well, Half-Life spawned Counter-Strike 1.6, which is still my favorite online FPS.adrian_exec said:

Ah, that's understandable then. HL is pretty much the polar opposite of the other games you mentioned (even though they are all FPS games), so I totally get why you wouldn't like it.Blitzwarp said:
I'm not sure where you get that idea. Tons of us don't like WoW. Remember, you are never "the only one".Akukaishi said:
OT: I too have never really caught Half-Life fever despite its prevalence here on the boards.
I personally don't feel that either Portal or Shadow of the Colossus were as great as people make them out to be. Sure, they're decent games, but one had fairly simple puzzles (up until the escape, at least), and the other had fairly unresponsive controls and a world that just felt unfinished. I would also say Half-Life 2, but I haven't really given it a fair chance yet.
Totally agreed. But then, so do a lot of people on Escapist.bulldogftw said:
So, as well, I'll mention Dead Space.
The weird thing is, I like the game. It's not survival horror by any stretch, but it's fun, has good atmosphere when there aren't any monsters around, when there are monsters combat and gameplay work well, there's a lot of originality (I especially love the little path laser). Despite all this, it just won't draw me in. I think it may be the story that may as well not be there... I'll see it in my Steam list, realise I haven't played it in a week or so, launch it, play for maybe an hour or so, until something else comes up, then I forget about it again. It's a little frustrating. I'll certainly finish it sometime, and maybe a little later It'll be more involving for me.
Who knows. I enjoy the game while playing, then instantly forget it.
Unfortunately I think its simply that years of unoriginal games have lowered expectations, having said that I don't think FO3 is a bad game at all, it just could of been so much better if it had the flavour of the original series.SIXVI06-M said:
