Video Games you cannot criticize.

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Portal
Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (well, besides needing game boy advances and the setup to do multiplayer, but that's not really one to count)
Tetris
Pong
Joust
Half Life 2: Episode One

I can't think of all of them ofcourse, but those off the top of my head...

You liked episode one more than HL2 or Ep 2?

You seem to misunderstand the topic here, it's about games you can't personally criticize, I could definitely say Half Life 2 had some criticisms despite being one of my all time favourites. Episode One just suddenly sprang to mind as a game that I couldn't really say anything bad about it, I thought it was a well done continuation and was fun. All those 5 games pretty much aren't any of my top 10 of all time even.

My favourite games of all time are Another World and Goldeneye, I could definitely say there were things I could criticize about them, but that doesn't stop them from being amazing to me.

Oh right, good point I guess i didn't really think of it like that. Although I would criticize Ep One for being a bit short, but I don't really think you can criticize a game for that, because it comes down to the preference of the gamer.

By the way, Another World is fantastic!

Heavy Rain.

lololololololol
yes if you ignore the giant plot holes and retarded story

Plot holes? Retarded story? What are you talking about?

 

[Dodgy]

Portal, Pac Man.

KotOR is very close as well but that's mostly a personal opinion. I suppose the inventory system could have been improved.

 

[cjneon]

Tetris. There are no flaws.

Way too difficult.

It starts out easy and has an elevated difficulty curve.

Yeah, it elevates to unwinnable.

Tetris is easy, you just need the reflexes of a ninja

 

[LiquidGrape]

Nigh flawless. Off the top of my head, I've got nothing.

 

[ParadiseOnceLost]

I am going to go with Resident Evil 4 (original GameCube not the ps2 or wii remakes). It had a good story that went on for a decent length unlike most of today's games that I can beat in two days, mercenaries mode, a weapon upgrade system that worked very well, and it had some of the best graphics of the last generation.

 

[commandersqwigly]

god of war 3, just finished it for the first time and everything is just spot on. puzzles,combat,story,graphics all blended together to make one truely amazing game

 

[Nouw]

Portal and Luminus 2! Perfect Games!

And Company Of Heroes

 

[Mandal0re]

No,even my favourites i can pick holes in,they just tend to be lots and lots of small nitpicks rather than large design flaws.

 

[Mordreich]

Audiosurf.

If you can not criticize something, you have accepted defeat!

 

[Nazulu]

Ocarina of Time. The game still has the most interesting designs as well as the amazing challenge/puzzle lay-outs. It also was the first to do many new things like targeting and using songs to solve puzzles and what not.

Specter. One of the first 3D games ever made as well as having a huge selection of options, weapons and enemy's to kill.

 

[Lordmarkus]

Everyone and everything has flaws, even videogames. Team Fortress 2 has the Scout update, Fallout and Half-life 2 has idiotic NPC's and Mass Effect 2 has an end.

 

[Anah'ya]

Flawless games, no.

But there are some that I can't criticize. Thief: Dark Project / Thief: The Metal Age and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Oh. Yeah. And Portal. And Half Life.

Too many already said Tetris and Pong, so I wont go there.

 

[Candidus]

Baldur's Gate 2 SoA and ToB.

I can't criticise this one; only lament the fact that in more than a decade it hasn't been surpassed. DA:O *wishes* it were BG2, biatch.

Halo 2 is my close second. It has faults, sure, but I don't make criticisms of them because in many cases they only add to the unspeakable awesome.

 

[Hafnium]

While not my favourite game, I'm going to say Portal, because I can't criticize any point about it, and I liked it a lot. Some games that I like more all have negative points, for instance:

Baldur's Gate 2: Not very well balanced, partially ugly graphics and steep learning curve.
Fallout 3: Oh the bugs and crashes, they almost ruined the game for me.
Diablo 2: Repetitive on a whole new scale, still fun though. Also, too many clicks!
Mass Effect 2: Incredibly boring mining mini-game, too simplified in weapons and skills.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Banjo-Kazooie.

did you forget Clankers cavern and Rusty bucket bay those levels are plain unfair to you

"did you die with 199 notes screw you get them all again"

that's why I never got past rusty bucket bay

Pfft only a noob is troubled by such things!
In all seriousness though I was 9 when I got that game so I don't think it really bothered me, also I was awesome at it and didn't die anyway. Plus at time of writing I had the XBLA version - with it's more forgiving nature at the back to my mind - so yeah...

 

[Nazulu]

Nothing is perfect. Even if it was, there would be people who would not enjoy it, and thus criticise it for not providing adequate entertainment.

Some games are well made. Some games are badly made. Some people like some games, others like others. It's all a matter of opinion, as this thread should make clear.

tehweave made it very clear in his first paragraph that no game can be perfect, I disagree with that though.

Also talking opinion this and that, you don't think for one second that you enjoyed a game so much that you didn't even criticise it at first? Like you said, some games are well made, what games are great to you?

 

[Outright Villainy]

Portal I guess. It's not even my favourite game, but it never puts a foot wrong throughout. Calling it short would be an unfair criticism, because if the only flaw is there's not enough of it, it's not really a flaw.
Majora's mask would be a close second.
