They also have zero time to LEARN what everything does or ask the community for help, which we are always willing to do. I like ACV too, but after watching the 3 hour special on ACVD, the issues and lack of options start to stand out more than ever. The one thing ACV did get right, in my opinion of course, is the AC design, movements (Mach 10 battles), and how AC's can now be specialized to fit certain roles in battle, that stuff was well done and also really fun.
Luckily ACVD looks like there is a lot more promise in both Singleplayer and multiplayer.
Star Wars the Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition. Loved the powers you had in that game. On your 2nd play through you become skilled enough to feel like a total badass. And the plot wasn't too bad either. Hated the 2nd one though.
The game isn't great, but it is easily better than Final Fantasy XIII and a lot of other jRPGs out this generation.Rush Syks said:
The fact that nobody noticed it at all is a bit strange. I also feel like a lot of people who poorly reviewed the game on the PC were PC gamers who didn't like jRPGs because they weren't accustomed to the genre, or people who didn't play the PC version and assumed all of the lacking areas of the console version were in the PC version.
I'm pretty darn happy to have the PC version of the game and it quite proudly sits on my Steam library. I wish I could have more Japanese RPGs like this with such quality ports on the PC. This game is exactly how you do a PC port. And I would love, love to have more just like it.

I would, for instance, love to see good ports of the Shin Megami Tensei, Tales, and Valkyria Chronicles games on the PC. Among others.
Oh, and somebody needs to tell SEGA to put Skies of Arcadia on Steam. And to start localizing Shining Force games again.
God Hand was poorly received? I always heard it was a classic.
As for me, Far Cry 2. Everyone I've ever known fucking hated that game, but I just love it. Its hard to get into at first, but when you do there's not much else like it.
Same here. I'm never surprised when I see a horrid score for one and then adore it when I play it.TehCookie said:

Ah, but that's why we have the term 'cult classic'.Troublesome Lagomorph said:
Ditto Far Cry 2. I really liked it. Didn't find it boring at all. I didn't find GTA IV boring either. I'm strange, apparently.
Another vote for Alpha Protocol here.
I really don't see why so many people slam it so much. People often say it's buggy and everything in it is broken, but I don't think I ran into a single bug in any of my two-and-a-half playthroughs. I can see some smaller gripes people might have with it, but nothing that warrants it as a bad or broken game.

At least they give an honest review in the case of a Compile Heart, Gust, ect. game. You know money isn't inflating the score.TehCookie said:
Dark Void, I think. It never really got higher than "average," but I thought the jetpack added to the cover-based shooting was a blast.
I'll add my voice to the Alpha Protocol fans. Just got it for £3.50 and it's a gem, despite its flaws. I dont let bugs get in the way when it comes to enjoying games. I could say the same for Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. Awesome game.
Advent Rising
The game had several problems with design yes, but that wasn't the thing the majority of reviewers focused on back then. It basically came down to "it isn't Halo" or "it's a Halo rip-off" when it was absolutely nothing like it.
It was good for what it was, a sci-fi adventure game that allowed you to abuse the hell out of psychic powers(Force Unleashed later took the control scheme from Advent Rising to use with force powers). The game hasn't aged very well now, but that soundtrack will stick with me forever.

God Hand.
No other game has received such hate from reviewers (IGN....), only for it to be soooooooooooooooooo GUUUUD!!!!

Funnily enough one of my first post back in '08 was in a very similar thread. I'll give what I imagine is the same answer: Advent Rising. The game was received so poorly that they cancelled the would-be-stellar sequels. I think the highest review I've seen for it was 7.5ish.
Edit: Looks like someone a couple posts above agrees. See, I'm not the only one!

Well I actually liked Brink. If it weren't for the nearly unplayable lag that the thing was rife with at release I feel more people would have kept on it. It supported interesting styles really well, like my medium medic with two quick slung drum magazine-fed machine guns. Swept an entire area with 120 bullets in seconds then just tossed around revive syringes to all my allies. Fun stuff there.
And (I know this will get hate) But the Army of Two Series. My brother and I adore these games. Sure the dialogue is a bit meat headed but we've played videogames with eachother since we could hold controllers, and not a lot of games had co-op focused play like that series. More games in my opinion need a good co-op focus and not the tacked on stuff we see so often these days or dumb forms added for no reason. (I still can't think of a good reason Dead Space 3 had Co-op)

Looks like it depends on the platform you choose, I played the PC version with advanced PhysX was a great experience. At least it did well enough for rumors of another sequel. Wonder how that will pan out now that American McGee has moved PC only, free to play model?Capitano Segnaposto said:

I really liked DNF...
Call me immature but the jokes and humor made me laugh (I still enjoy flinging poop around
), everything was juvenile but in a fun and good way, shooting was okay, weapons were fun enough to use, difficult enough as well.
Iunno, I just had fun with it which is all I wanted and expected from the game.
