I've thought about restarting Disgaea 2 since my generic characters are at such low levels. The frustrating thing is that the game introduces better generic characters, thus making you feel as though you wasted time training the earlier, weaker ones. It reminds me of Pokemon a little bit.JemothSkarii said:
Well, with the story line, and the opening tutorial, and the lack of ability to skip cutscenes, and my tendency (at least in KH) to find all treasures, it took a while... plus I HAD to beat Riku while I was there just for the skill pointbeliever258 said:
as for BBS, you mean ventus or is Sora the secret character? lol
Borderlands. When I unlocked the second or third major region, and realized that the game was just going to be the same thing I had just done over and over again from that point onwards. I'm usually pretty tolerant of repetition, but goddamn.
Edit: just noticed the thread says "favourite" game, in which case disregard the preceding. Since I can't think of anything I hated in Abe's Exoddus or MediEvil, my answer is instead for a lower ranking favourite; Oblivion and either a) the fighters guild quest line which really didn't benefit my sneaky archer or b) the 60th (yes, I counted) time I had to go through an oblivion gate. I could navigate those recurring maps in my sleep.

Money my boy, money... BBS actually has some very relevant information, lotta background which I like, hopefully that will all be brought up in KH3, which had better be made soon, because for christ sake I'm gonna be a full adult soon and that means it's been like 10 years!believer258 said:
I did think it was a little daft at the end of Uncharted, with the crazy Nazi Gollums that appeared... Didn't really ruin the game for me all too much but I thought it was rather silly. Kind of knew to expect more mad shit from Uncharted 2 when that came out so that wasn't as much of a disappointment for me haha
I wonder what freaky bastards Drake will end up fighting in Uncharted 3...

Supreme Commander- when I realized how screwy the economics systems are.
Essentially there are two currencies- Mass and Power. Both are mainly created by setting up their respective production buildings. Unfortunately at the beginning of a match you can only build very cheap, very weak production structures which constantly produce a small amount of resource- any overflow of resource is instantly wasted if you don?t use it.
Attempting to construct the necessary military factories, defensive positions, upgrades and forces required to keep you alive in most missions will put a massive strain on your resources to the point where your economy freezes which once entered will literally take over half an hour just to get out of and start moving again. The only way around this is to build very slowly and know exactly what/how many/where you want each unit.
Once you get to the next tech level it ceases to be a problem and they did manage to fix the economic problem in the sequel at the expense of variation of units and a decent plot. I understand that using a fewer number of units you upgrade over time is a better tactical system than having to scrap your Tech 1 army once you reach the next stage but the whole thing seems too samey in SC2 as you just swamp your opponent with an armoured column of tanks which can attack anything.

Off the top of my head is Kingdom Hearts 1. Many of the people here were discussing the game earlier but when I started the Gummy Ship portion it was okay. However, after playing it a fourth time drove me crazy.
After that I found the game tedious which is too bad since so many people at the time recommended the game. Maybe I should give the second one a chance since I have heard it is a vast improvement.

Well the reason HL2 is my favourite is because there's no flaws in it (which affect me).
But I guess level 9A Entanglement is not my cup of tea, because it's mostly stand-offs where you have to wait and kill waves on enemies, I always hate those parts in games.

What's a classic RPG? Diablo. What's that game about? New weapons and maxing out your character, two core elements of Borderlands.Kyrian007 said:
Absolutely agree with the Uncharted comment. I swear if it didn't come out before COD WaW I would be screaming nazi zombie ripoff. Let me just say this. The monsters are formerly nazis who have been mutated into some wierd creature that looks slightly dead already and the only weapon available in the entire area is the MP40. In order to get past this you need to kill some of them then hit a fuse box to turn on power to open another door until you can run away. Absolutely annoying as hell.Kakulukia said:
Mass Effect stops being fun when I force myself to drop the fun story missions and go do the sidequests, the quests themselves are fine and many of them are fun and interesting but getting to them is frickin' tedious as all hell.
I spread the sidequests out just enough to keep me from going insane while doing them all and I make sure they're all done before Virmire (the last planet I go to before the end game)

Indigo Prophecy: After the amusement park level. It's like they left out a few stages before the final levels. I mean, I was expecting some kind of romance between Lucas & Carla, but it's tied in awkwardly. One scene Lucas is hiding in Carla's apartment, the next they're in bed together. Before this, I thought the story & pacing was brilliant. If they'd taken time to polish the last half, it would've been perfect.
Mass Effect 2: Resource mining. Even with the upgrades for speed and probe capacity, it's tedious & will kill your thumbs in a few minutes. Not to mention it's boring as hell. I try to space it out on an as-needed basis. It doesn't kill the game, but I certainly don't look forward to those moments in the game.

Actually they're Spanish conquistadors who were infected by El Dorado's poison thing. And they somehow survived centuries on a desert island.80Maxwell08 said:
Hated the new paragon/renegade system in mass effect 2. The lack of true RPG elements that existed in ME1 also bugs me. Though a real turning point to being nasty was the resource mining and when the game decided to randomly generate the galaxy, I got none of the materials needed for one upgrade line for the entire game, needless to say - the shotty was not used much by me.
Not my favorite, but up there: Mass Effect 2. There were really two points for me:
1) discovering that unless if I did fucking EVERYTHING by Bioware's rules, either Miranda or Jack would die. Bioware needs to overhaul their morality system for ME3.
2) Bioware COMPLETELY dicking over 360 owners with the PS3 release. I like that the PS3 is getting it, but come the fuck on, did you need to give them all of what I paid for for FREE? Especially without then making it free for me... Bioware, you are assholes.
