The worst thing about your favourite games?

[Vrex360]

There is nothing in the world that does have a flaw. Everything good always has at least one glaring problem that can't be overlooked. Nowhere is this more evident than in games, every game has at least one thing wrong with it that is certainly worth noting in a fair review. Even your all time favourite games have to have at LEAST one flaw. Some of you my recall I made a post about what the one best thing about your favourite game is... this time I ask what is the one WORST thing about said game? Please note this list must be about games you like that have flaws that you still notice.

In the interest of not indentifying myself as a fanboy my personal biggest problem with Halo (aside from the unfair flack it gets on either side of a wierd civil war that has divided the internet) would have to be some sometimes repetative levels and the fact that the campain in Halo 3 is very, very short.
Another example is that one major flaw with Saint's Row 2 is that so many of the cars cannot steer.

But that's just me, what is the worst thing about your favourite games? As much as you like the game it could have been better if this one thing was either fixed or removed from production, mine is the short campian of Halo 3, what's yours?

Morrwoind on the default controls just feels weird, who came up with the idea of left trigger being jump. That's just crazy.

The Half-Life 2 games are fantastic - every one of them. It is, without hesitation, my favorite franchise. This does not prevent me from noticing that the weapons selection is rather lacking in comparison to everything else. There are a few guns that you use all the time - the AR2, the shotgun, and the gravity gun - and a bunch more that you use in special circumstances (rocket launcher, crossbow) or when you're out of ammo for the good guns (SMG, pistol).

I really enjoyed the first Halo, but somebody needs to take away Bungie's CRTL+C and CTRL+V keys. The Library is one of the worst levels I've ever played.

I agree, but then again, that game was waaaaaay better on PC anyway.

Actually, my one friend who played on PC hated the controls more than me, so go figure. With a little tweaking they worked fine.

If nothing else, I assume you agree that it is far better than Oblivion? At least story-wise?

I dislike the slight lack of cohesiveness between on-screen and smacking the drums on Rock Band. I have to adjust the lag every now and again.

Of course, by miles. Bloodmoon alone tops the entire game of Oblivion for me.

Left 4 Dead? Probably the smallness of the campaigns

Much props my friend. That was my first PC-Xbox transition game.

Oh Fallout 3 why must you be so buggy :'(

 

[NotAPie]

My games talk to me...and they say...

Garry's Mod: "Did I mention you have to buy the games and download mods, for better things?! YAY!"

Crackdown: " Once you get bored! You cannot use innocent people as toys or I'll keep talking Agent!"

Fallout 3: "Oh yeah, I'm going to kill you at the end of the story buddy "

Oblivion: "Man I'm so sick...Look at all these...BUGS"

Bioshocks ending....

Also, Left 4 Dead only having four campaigns.

This. The weapons are fairly limited in an awesome game. Its usually either Shotgun, SMG. Rinse and repeat.

Ninja Gaiden, any platforming parts.

First off the camera is your main enemy in these parts and he's damn near one of the toughest enemies in the game. Also, Ryu sometimes doesn't listen to you and instead of running along the wall, he'll run up it, and backflip into a volcano.

It was the opposite for me: My stepdad Corey bought Morrowind for the X Box and I loved it, and after he sold his X Box I bought the PC GOTY version.

That being said, whenever I play Morrowind on my computer it sometimes closes out of the game for no reason. Of course it doesn't really matter now because MY FLAMIN' DISC IS BROKEN!!!!

Half life 2 and all its Episodes, always leave you with a great climax and then you have to wait 2 years to find out what happens next.

 

[Malkure]

I still love Starcraft. I still hate the mission where you just have to survive for 40 minutes...so boring...

TimeSplitters 2- No jump button, the arcade leagues are painful, the AI can either be stupid or brutal.

Shenmue 2- The ending blew, actual fighting was few and far between

Jak 3- Streets way too crowded like in the last installment

Skies of Arcadia- Random turn based battles ruin 'exploration', Loopers

Doom (XBL Arcade)- Broken online play

Doom 2- Didn't have the charm once you started using the sv_cheat command, city enviroments were bland and haven't aged well.

Sonic Adventure 2- Mech suit battles are clusterfuck, controls become inconvenient at key moments.

But all my favorite games have problems: they mostly fail to keep me engaged after the main story/gameplay is over, leaving you only with a few super moves and items that prove of little use.
