Not completely the same thing, but I kept getting distracted during The Lord of the Rings because I kept hearing Spyro instead of Frodo. Frodo would have had a better time getting stabbed if he had remembered to feed Sam some butterflies first.
i felt that way but only when playing it on the console. the shooting on the pc version felt much more natural. im not trying to make the argument that mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller. but for half life 2, it definitely felt alot more fluent.LordDarkPhantom said:Half life 2 because I didn't like the shooting element. Can't really give any specifics but the shooting just didn't feel right to me. Yeah.
Someone else who cares about that! Although I did have Fable 2 I really didn't enjoy it. One of the things that really pissed me off was how they pretty much destroyed all the amazing lore they built up from the first game! I hated that! The game felt it was totally unrelated to the first and was a disappointment in every respect. I loath that game, especially because the first was so good.BryceS62 said:I didnt like Fabel 2 because there wasnt a Hero's guild
That wasn't the best point to choose, I agree. It's just something that a modern war simulation should maybe notice.Annoyer said:LOLZMrJKapowey said:Games which claim to have a shred of realism or simulate modern combat then fuck up large chunks of realism:
E.g. - In MW2, the L86A2 LSW is reloaded entirely with the right hand, the only weapon to do so. In real life the SA80 series of weapons are loaded entirely with the left hand.

I agree with you entirely. That's why I hate Halo.ChildofGallifrey said:OT: I despise the Uncharted games because they do absolutely nothing original or interesting, yet are universally praised as some of the best games ever made. About halfway through I set Uncharted 2 to "Very Easy" difficulty just because I wanted to get through with the damn thing faster. I can't get past a completely generic, run-of-the-mill adventure/shooter game being so highly praised because they're exceptionally pretty. I don't begrudge the people who enjoy them, I just don't.
I wonder how that could even be the case since they had Italian cast and crew available. Either it's a huge foresight, or since the actors had accent coaching, you might be a wee bit mistaken.Gorilla Gunk said:I want to try Assassins Creed II or Brotherhood but I just can't get past the godawful Italian accents.
I know they're in Italy but I've seen plenty of Italian movies and I know nobody talks like that. It's like they got Mario's voice-actor to voice everyone.
Except Halo did it before it was commonplace. Halo was the game that made shooters mainstream, they must have done something good other than make purple aliens look pretty. I think we look at games like this through the lenses of tthe present too often.StorytellingIsAMust said:I agree with you entirely.

Thank God I'm not the only one. That annoyed me so much that I stopped playing only after that chapter where you are riding the boat. My friend actually refused to lend me any game until I finished it. :Lbobert17 said:i felt that way but only when playing it on the console. the shooting on the pc version felt much more natural. im not trying to make the argument that mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller. but for half life 2, it definitely felt alot more fluent.LordDarkPhantom said:Half life 2 because I didn't like the shooting element.
