Persona 4.
A very good RPG with very well developed characters and a fantastic battle system. But...
- The game play and story segregation is jarring.
- The plot is fairly predictable in places and the characters all seem to share there moments holding the idiot ball.
- The breather episodes are often far too long.
- Mood and tone whiplashes are frequent.
- The difficulty curve is very erratic and is easily breakable for veteran players by the end of game.
- NG+ is a joke.

Halo
The story is ok at best
Some of the guns are completely useless (Looking at you plasma repeater)
The fan base is a bunch of elitist jackasses.
Multiplayer can be as frustrating as hell if you don't go in with the right mindset.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander (My all time favorite game)
The character models are ugly and the ship list is a little lacking.

@Liquidcool It's still effectively a morality system though, and the point is that I could easily justify the use of the genophage being the better choice (or lesser evil, however you want to put it) but the game just decides it's the bad choice
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers that jewel!Hal10k said:
Baldurs Gate II
Though the game has a tutorial, it is severely lacking in many aspects. As a newcomer to the oldschool D&D rules, you will curse and moan as the game throws more and more complicated things at your face. Oh, and Irenicus' Dungeon should have some sort of skip mechanic if you've already beaten it. Thank the Writer for mods!

Chrono Trigger
Can you please help me out with this one? I'm trying really hard to find something bad about it!
I...guess... some of the menu screens could've been more user friendly...sometimes.

The load times on the PS1 port are atrocious, especially early in the game. Also, like most Jrpgs, its a really, really easy game. And some of the characters were WAY overpowered. Chrono/Frog/Ayla was an instant win.Xaio30 said:
Knights of the Old Republic: Taris is dull on multiple playthroughs and annoyingly discourages leveling despite being several hours long. Also, Non-Jedi are rather underpowered.
Mass Effect: Annoying loot and inventory management, boring exploration.
Okami: Most of the sidequests are fetch quests of the highest degree. Also, too easy by far.
Skies of Arcadia: WAY TOO MANY RANDOM ENCOUNTERS. It should not be a chore to explore in a game about exploration. Also, insta-Lambda Burst about halfway through the game trivializes all subsequent random encounters.
Dark Souls: Online play can be a frustrating experience, what with connection issues, lag, and lots of two is in low level areas. Also, way to many insta-death pits and falls.
The graphics in timesplitters 2 have not aged well at all and the difficulty ramps way the hell up with atom smasher.
Capcom vs SNK 2: sprite editing can go horribly wrong because some parts were linked to other parts that you don't want to change (like gloves and hair wth)

I like the thread! It inspired me to stop lurking and put in my 2 cents.
That said, I'll echo the sentiments of others about Skyrim.
What I didn't like about it:
- The AI is pretty bad. Like in Morrowind and Oblivion, stealth is too easy at higher levels of the skill and NPCs STILL get stuck on rocks every once in a while. The pathing for some NPCs can be downright atrocious. It's a common complaint but come on Bethesda, it's been nearly a decade since you released Morrowind.
- Balance in regard to skills can be pretty bad. They added a pickpocket skill independent from the sneak skill and it's pretty much nearly useless in most cirumstances. Top tier talents break the game's difficulty and are altogether just too powerful. For example, the 15% chance to paralyze the target with a bow that is 100% irresistible gives an edge to the player that they do not need on any difficulty.
- They tease you with so many story-related tidbits and then just don't develop them more fully.
The Thalmor also fall under this criticism. They introduce them, attempt to flesh them out pretty well, and then do hardly anything with them throughout the course of the game aside from their existence being an indirect cause of the civil war. Maybe for an expansion, I guess.
The headless horseman, that rides around but serves no purpose but to ride around and be a headless horseman. Disappointing. The list goes on, but I'll leave it there.
In spite of these criticism I still love the game and realize no game is perfect. I love the open world, massive number of quests and the ability to plan to do one thing and spend 2-3 hours doing several things because they interested you along the way. The combat is a lot of fun now as opposed to something that got in the way of the rest of the game and the new leveling system is a MASSIVE improvement over what we had in Morrowind. The whole game just plays much more organically than its predecessors.

A perfect example of this is the plot involving Jarl Elisif of Solitude. There's a lot of uncertainty about her qualification to lead and a lot of theories floating around that she's really just a puppet for the Imperial military leader stationed to fight off Ulfric. One of her thanes strongly implies that she isn't cut out for the job and you can talk to the steward about it, who strongly urges you to ignore such banter.
All of this is just flavor though, and you can't engage in a plot to either overthrow the Jarl or foil any plot attempting to do so. It gives you the skeleton of what could be interesting political intrigue and then gives you nothing else to chew on afterwards. All you can do is be a brutish thug in the war, and that resolves that piece of the plot in a very indirect fashion.

The graphics weren't too good for it's time
Movement and movement animation was donkey bollocks
Some skills were completely useless
Most characters were one dimensional
Bugs, bugs everywhere
Not enough voice actors
NPCs were so dumb it lowered my own intelligence
You can literally skip half the game if you know where to go
The entire game just ends after the main story line
I'm talking about Fallout 3. And now I just realized the same goes for New Vegas.

Shadow of the Colossus:
Uh... The game could have been longer? There could have been more explanation to what was going on? I don't know, I love the game a lot so I can easily overlook it's shortcomings.
Final Fantasy IX:
Some of the areas in Disc 3 kinda sucked.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
The Fury battle has massive slowdown issues. Of course that's most likely because I was playing the game on a PS3.
In the grand scheme of things, you don't actually need to use CQC at all. (Except maybe during the final boss.)
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee:
Jumping controls are slightly delayed. Plus if you played Exoddus before this game you'll miss the quicksave feature.
Valkyria Chronicles:
Enemy A.I. is dumb. Final boss is somewhat anti-climactic.
I know I listed a lot of games, but I can't just pick one favorite! D:

CoD MW3:
Great game overall. I don't even have a problem with it lacking much gameplay innovation but I do have a problem with having to sit through a host migration every time someone rage quits. Oh and maybe respawning wouldn't be such s%^! if you made the maps bigger infinity ward. And I don't why you can't port over maps from previous games/map packs for free if we own them because those 10 new maps get old really fast.
BF3:
If you claim to want to beat out COD and then you're NOT ALLOWED rip-off their plot lines for your single player campaign. Switch up the teams every now and then. Don't just let a bunch of vets steamroll noobs match after match. Let them intermingle and maybe noobs can get better and learn some teamwork.
And balance issues:
-Healing and vehicle repairs are too effective
-SMAWs/RPGs shouldn't be resupplied so easily
Diablo II:
Blizzard! You never got rid of TPPK in hardcore mode you bastards!
Resident Evil 5:
Why won't you let me shoot and move at the same time or enjoy a cutscene without QTEs? *cry*
Mass Effect 2:
I literally CANNOT care about so many support characters and their petty personal problems. We're TRYING to SAVE the Universe! That other crap can wait.
Catherine:
I've never said this before but if you removed the GAME (Obnoxiously difficult block puzzling) part of your video game I'd be all over it. And I'm not even a big anime fan.
Halo Reach:
Your 'if they came to hear me beg' achievement is f&#@-ing impossible. Wasted so many hours on that.
Uncharted & God of War:
Why'd you have to be PS3 exclusives??!! Sony sell-out pricks...
Deus-Ex HR:
*ugh - ran out of rage to continue* I'm sure someone else will come beat this dead horse for me

Gothic 2: The final chapter/epilogue is an absolute breeze for what is generally a tough, challenging game. Bit disappointing really.
Persona 4 -
For a murder mystery, the culprit is fairly obvious, but the path to unmasking them in game is somewhat convoluted.
Also, not retaining all of your character levels in NG+ is kind of lousy.
EDIT: Sorry I didn't notice my first point had already been made, but I guess I'll stand by it haha.
OR I'll say that Sacrifice doesn't seem to work online anymore. That is literally the only negative thing I can think of for that game.

Heroes of Might and Magic III
- The story is pretty mediocre
- No random map generator until the expansion
- A lot of creatures are too similar
- A lot of heroes are too similar
- Too many useless secondary skills
- Damage dealing spells are underpowered, especially on larger maps
- Way too addictive
