Video Games you cannot criticize.

[hyperhammy]

Portal of course....jk, I've never played portal.

I'd have to say I can't criticize Super Smash Bros. But thats probably the nostalgia talking.

Just why? It was free for a while over steam...

 

[weker]

ohhh another game from me is mischief makers that is a epic game which almost 0 people have played but was a gold star in my child hood

Pong

Yes, that too. The god of all video games cannot be questioned.

Just would like to point out, Pong wasn't the first video game ever made. Tennis for Two was created in 1958, beating Pong by 14 years. While perhaps you can't consider it a "video" game because it was played on a radar screen. In fact, there were earlier examples before Tennis for Two. Nought's and Crosses was an early one. There are many more, but like I said, they may not be considered video as they show visuals on radar screens.

Hmm...Tsukihime's sex scenes weren't written well, A Drug That Makes You Dream had too many, and Kanon's were fairly pointless. Otherwise, I would have no immediately obvious criticisms of those games. Wizardry 8 was a bit long, with a wacky difficulty curve and little support for dual-specialization. Tales of Symphonia had the inane Ymir Forest puzzle. Devil May Cry 3...

Okay, I have two: Devil May Cry 3 and Fate/Stay Night.

Admittedly, I'm specifically referring to DMC3: Special Edition, which fixed the difficulty settings. Otherwise, I really can't think of anything I didn't like. The music was awesome, the story was decent, the characters interesting and entertaining, the puzzles and exploration were fun, the combat was excellent, and the boss fights were spectacular. The closest I might come to criticism was the way the Arkham fight was handled (specifically, the second half), but it still worked all right (using the coding for the Doppelganger style), was a great moment besides, and was one of the game's hidden instances of multiplayer.

Intresting is not how I would describe the characters....


Anyway, I can't really think of a game without flaws.

Okay, everyone's said Portal already, but I'll add my candle of approval to the megawatt torch alerady shining.

Also, I just finished playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It's certainly not a game for everyone, but there is no legitimate criticism I can make of it.

(When I say 'legitimate', I mean how you could whinge that it doesn't have enough guns or how you can't collect stars, but then you're asking for it to be a different game).

Some of the puzzels where just to cheap and could almost only be solved by trial and error.
You know this to be the truth.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Mario and Zelda.

 

[powergamer8]

The first Sims game, I played that for hours.

And baldur's gate 2, that was one the greatest D&D based game ever made and i can't find a thing wrong with it.

 

[Mister Swift]

Tetris.
The original Super Mario Bros.
Shadow of the Colossus.

Those are my three.

 

[KindOfnElf]

I just CAN NOT criticize Mass Effect. And that goes for ME and ME2. For me it was and still is completely thrilling, can't take my hands off it.

On a side note, OP, how is WoW expensive?

It really depends on how much you play it really. If you only play for 1 month after purchase, it probably costs just over the cost of a normal game. If you play for a year, it's 40 pounds more expensive (if you were to pay on a month by month basis).

There are people that have paid for a few more years on top of that.

As for games i can't criticize, i don't think there are any. I can see the flaws in any game, even my absolute faves, and to say that their is a game that you can't see any flaws with at all is a lie in my opinion.

The Escapists top game is Fallout 3. That has to mean something.

Portal.

Poor humour, poorly made repetitive puzzles. Overall a poorly made game. SEE different opinions mean anything can be criticized!


sooo yeah, any game can be criticized due to opinions.

Soul Reaver
Super Mario Kart
B.A.T. II (mostly because no-one seems to have played it but me)
Day of the Tentacle
Max Payne
Vandal Hearts
The Bladerunner game

 

[DazBurger]

*sigh*

Portal.

It's true! God damn it!

Its too short? No multiplayer?


There is nothing that cannot be critisised.

Mass Effect 2.
Enough said.

No matter what you do in the first game, everything will be the same for you in the second game.

Its a good game, hell, its a REALLY good game. But not as... Epic as the first. :/

I guess we have to wait for the third one to be the hero of the galaxy again^^

 

[J-Alfred]

Nope. Always found something to dislike and criticize about a game. Except Tetris. How do you complain about that?

 

[OriginalJoeBlack]

Portal and... Pacman
Ja, i just said that.

 

[Trogdor1138]

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!

I've noticed more people that like Another World thesedays which is great to see (check out Project Dust, Chahi's new game shown at E3, his first in 12 years).

I remember it being very short (my second time playing i think i finished it 2-3 hours) but I thought it was packed with everything it needed to be, anything longer and it has the chance of being drawn out. I can finish Another World in 10 minutes completely (I've been meaning to check if that's a record) and on average a playthrough would go for about 40 minutes, but it's such a great game that it didn't need to be longer. I do understand the fans waiting so long for Episode One and paying the price for it though, I personally got it with Orange Box on 360, but as I said, what's there is great. I actually do like it more than Episode Two as much as I loved that one.

Actually... Add Another World to the list of games I can't criticize, I can't actually think of something I dislike about it now.

EOE: Eve Of Extinction for the PS2

It wasnt an amazing game, it had some cool fetures but at the same time there was nothing wrong with it, it even managed to handle QTE's well

it wasnt good, it wasnt bad
