Which boss were you on? The first one with the nunchucks or one further in? I agree that game is brutal, but I love it so much. Egoraptor is totally right about no strategy game save you in it though. Especially the Alma fight... God damn she's such a ***** lmao.Void Bringer said:
OT: Uh... Final Fantasy XIII? I love me some Final Fantasy, but 13 is TERRIBLE. In fact it's so bad that I struggle to find words of why it's so bad, so here's a Jontron video that is pretty close:
Sonic Adventure.
I don't like most platformers in general, and I've never been more than ambivalent about any Sonic game I've played, but I have a friend who'd a big sonic fan and insists that the first sonic adventure is really good (though he at least admits that the second is shit). Anyway, we play a lot o video games together (hence all the sonic I've played) and every time we look for suggestions, he brings up sonic adventure.
The best part is that we tried it once for about 5-6 minutes and quit because it sucked.

There are two kinds I think that could produce candidates for this. Uninspired games and/or games with relentless microtransactions/DLC (Madden, Red Dead Redemption [liked the single-player, multiplayer is unplayable without DLC] and many Zynga 'games'), and games that I hate because I wanted to like them a lot more than I do. Mass Effect 3, for ruining the trilogy for me (SO MUCH ANTICIPATION), is the largest one. I am also disppointed generally by the Assassin's Creed series, rather disappointed at the most recent Armored Core for region locking, fake part variety, type-locked stats, tying fire rate to stability, and general other things, and I am a tiny bit bitter about how Dragon's Dogma allows you to do practically whatever you want all the way through the game and THEN tells you if you weren't pure warrior or sorceror since level 10, your build isn't worth a damn against the Ur-Dragon.
Witcher 2.
As the game makes me unleash a stream of frustrated curses and lurk around the room wanting to punch holes in the walls, the game taunts me with whispers of "Hey, everyone else in the world LOVES this game, obviously the problem MUST be with YOU."

Time to piss at least 1 person off...
Minecraft. Not because they ended up trying to make their own game, or even the low quality graphic style. I'm ok with that, and an indie studio can only afford so much. No. I can't stand the game because of the litany of clones that were spawned from it.
And the fans. Because god forbid I don't want to go play in your pointless sandbox game and prefer something with a story. I'm apparently the devil to these people, since I don't even like the game. It bores me, and feels mediocre.

The new DmC, you dare call your self Devil May Cry!? You have no style or pizza! Shame on your villainy and cliche merits!!!
Spunkgargleweewee.
Other M, again, stop killing my favorie characters with bad writing!
and every Resident Evil after 4 that acts like 5, so ORC and 6...
Pretty much, any game that panders to a "broad audience" is my arch nemesis, and must be PUNISHED.

I know this is mostly the entire Escapist's opinion, but I will have to say the Call of Duty franchise as a whole. Just someone even mentioning the game will cause me to have this mental explosion of hatred and fury. I CANNOT STAND the lack of presentation (and story, and good multiplayer..) in the game. I find it appalling. Activision has turned it's players into sheep. Sheep who can NEVER play another game and say "Oh! This is better than CoD!" These sheep play another game like Journey or Halo or Quantum Conundrum or even Half-Life 2 and say "Like this game sucks! Lets go play CoD! IT is like so much better!" But I find that most people I see play CoD have lower attention spans (or IQ) and cannot appreciate something like Portal or Half-Life.
Star Fox Adventures... I'll get you one of these days! *Shakes fist angrily*
Seriously! I was having so much fun until about the 3/4 mark and then the test offrustration fear.
Ok beat that, now what? On rails shooting section! What's that? You can't change the inverted aiming nor the stick sensitivity? God damn... SENSORED. Alright! I'm finally through that section after, like, a year!
What can you throw at me now? Oh another puzzle using the terrible aiming system? OK, well I got this down now! Oh, you mean to say it involves awkward jumping AND a time limit? FFFFFUUUUU....
I beat that game. I beat that game SO hard.

Oh man, you too huh? I've tried very hard, twice, to love that game and I just... can't.Randolyn said:
Firstly: OoT N64. 3DS version I can play, but the water temple and having to go into the menu and then the game crashes and sffdugvkcds dg rg dfh nope i can't I GET OUT OF MY HOUSE OOT
Secondly, defending my games:
Back off from the source engine. By dissing the source engine, you're dissing the ID engine, and by dissing the ID engine, you are dissing roughly 50% (possible exaggeration but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true) of all games (inc. CoD [which objectively, can go], jedi knight series, Quake Series, etc,) so just, chill. Put the gun down, and chill out.
It's good to kick back from being a pretentious twat and pick up the xbox controller and just play a dumb game like Cod or Halo.
GTA requires more thought and moral decision than you realize.
that is all.

GTA4: A friend of mine lent it to me, but I never got around to doing much.
The cars handled like arse, whenever I hit something with even an iota of speed, I would go cartwheeling through the windscreen and the absolute kicker was when I was driving a stretch limousine through the streets at walking speed and I hit the curb. The limo went cartwheeling through the air for several seconds before crashing into the ground.
Yes, a stretch limo that hit the curb at walking speed launched itself into the air.
Afterwards I just got Saints Row 2 and never looked back.
