That one would be my runner up. I made it off the boat and into the first big room, long enough to realize they had improved the combat and added 8,000% more of it. I don't know if it was the same dev team, but they didn't seem to get the first one. I got the same impression from Dead Rising 2 (which was a new dev) but played that for longer.Happyninja42 said:Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
Got to the part in the tutorial (that was all death metal music by the way, not cool Arabian style music), where they introduce the antagonist....ass first...in her metal thong outfit. Her ass filled the entire screen....in slow motion. I turned the game off at that point, realizing that whoever had made that game, didn't understand what was fun and cool about the first one.
I have plans to play the game. Can you be more specific what didn't like please?Bilious Green said:Deus Ex: Human Revolution. That game is right up my alley (cyberpunk stuff), and the story looks pretty interesting, but I just hated the gameplay within minutes of starting. I don't think I even made it through the first mission before packing it in. At least I didn't pay much for it.
Holy shit, this too a fucking tee. I stopped at the hack. People tell me it's great, but I can't get throguh it.Zhukov said:Alpha Protocol.
You start off locked in a room with guards outside. An NPC asks you via radio how you want to get out. I wanted to be smart about it so I picked a dialogue option saying "ambush". My gormless fuckwit of a character promptly says, "Set off the alarm, that'll bring the guards running." Both the NPC and I called him an idiot.
Strike One.
Then I started moving around and discovered that making decent walking or running animations is beyond the skills of those master game craftsmen at Obsidian. I envisaged having to play an entire third person game while watching movement animations in which the protagonist's feet don't match his movement speed or direction.
Strike Two.
Encountered a hacking minigame. Discovered that the controls for it were poorly adapted from console.
Strike Get The Fuck Off My Hard Drive.
Total play time: roughly five minutes.
I found the stealth and shooting mechanics really awkward to use and unresponsive, and the hacking mini game was incomprehensible. Beyond that, I can't remember much. Like I said, I didn't play it for long, and it was a while ago.SweetShark said:I have plans to play the game.

I have about 3 hours on that game so far, no troubles encountered.Politrukk said:Ah you didn't even get to the point where the game blatantly stops working properly then?
that happened to me after about 15-30 minutes in?
Did you play the first game? The scenes where the characters try to handle racism is just awful.Mister K said:For me it was Valkyria Chronicles II. I tried to play it, but characters that were offered to me to play as were so boring I couldn't play further than the first mission.
Yup! No refund, obviously, but at least my conscience is restored.FPLOON said:Did... did it work?Silverbeard said:Agarest: Generation of War.
To the game's credit it wasn't until the 13 hour mark that I ran away from it like it was a black adder spliced with a king cobra but... well, the game has some very weird ideas on how to make two humans (or demi-humans) mate, even for a JRPG.
In fact I ran so far from that game that I actually asked Steam to remove the thing from my library. I didn't even want a refund, I just wanted that thing to stop staining my hard drive by virtue of its very fucking existence.
