Thoughts on Video Games

[Yink]

Are there any games you think are either;

A. Horrible
B. Have basically a bad plot and story
C. Just were not made to be a game
D. Are overrated

Anything you can think of? I think of a MAJOR one. Halo 2. >>;;

*wears "not a playstation and XBox fan T-Shirt*
I only like nintendo. Well, for the games

N64: Conker's Bad Fur Day (First rated M, and don't like it at all.

Gamecube: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (Old, Repetitive, Slow Frame Rate, Controls, Bad Graphics(Going back to the PS1 type graphics)

PS2: GTA: San Andreas: That Hot Coffee Mod was the last straw.

X-Box: Halo 2: RE4 would've got game of the year IF some people had a Gamecube!

What was so bad about Halo 2 exactly?

I played it and I wouldn't fit it into ANY of those 4 catagories

It's just my opinion. I loved Halo...but Halo 2...it was just overrated.

FF Crystal Chronicles has a BAD ending. It's not very 'dramatic'.

[Moot]

I found FF:CC to be pretty bad all the way through, considering to play it properly you ideally need 4 people with 4 GBAs and 4 link cables, it would have worked per4fectly fine with 4 GC controllers

Halo does sound good, but I'm not a XBox Fan. The controller is hard to use if you've played for the 1st time.

Lava, I've always been a Sonic Fan since I was 3, there's nothing wrong about not being into Sonic. Heck, I wasn't into Mario until 1996-98!

Sonic Heroes is good, but didn't tell much. All I knew is that Dr. Eggman is trying to taking over the world again.

Four Swords was a pretty good game, only, you needed 4 GBA to play it. But if you got em, it's so fun! =P

[UMS Author Lava]

And you can only play Multiplayer on Crystal Chronicles if you have 2-4 GBA's and enough GBA-GCN Cables.

[Shoe]

The 4 GBA...i cant stand that crap why cant it be normal controllers im glad about the DS having the feature of multyplayer with someone on another state or something and you dont need all the other junk for it and four swords adventures...for me anyway, was one of the worst zelda games i have ever played T_T...at least thats what i heard about the DS i hope its true mines still in layaway (only 69$ to go ><) and i loved FFCC its just the multyplayer ticked me off...sorry im kinda in a bad mood today youll have to excuse that :-\

[dude]

Superman 64. tha game is a piece of ****

oh and Hulk for GC too

[Yink]

I wasn't much of a fan of the game Goemon's Great Adventure. It was too boring for me. And FAR too easy.

[Gene L.D. Ryoko]

four swords and FF:CC are okay,you don't HAVE to play multiplayer,I'm on the 8th year with no help,four sword's multipayer mode is not as fun as the single player mode because you have control of all four links instead of one

[Shoe]

bleh i still didnt like it -_-

WHAT! Lol! I love that game! I'm addicted to it, i play it on xbox live all the time. It rocks! I've never seen a shooter game with as good gameplay or graphics!

[Yink]

I'm just not a fan of Halo 2. Halo was hilarious though, I loved shooting my friend when he jumped off a cliff.

1. Most horrible game -- there was this game on the Playstation called "2xtreme" (too extreme ¬¬;. Unfortunately the title belies the actual game, which is a joke, even compared to most PSX games which were jokes graphically and overall gameplay-wise anyways. The ground was 3D with polygons, but the character models were all sprites, and all the same, just different color schemes. It was really, really sad, and it sucked so much. It was like, a skateboarding game from third-person perspective.

2. Have basicaly bad plot and story -- Mario Party 4, 5, 6, and likely 7... their plots are horrible cop-outs just so they can make their mediocre games with an even mre mediocre theme.

3. Were not made to be a game -- any game based on a movie that came out the day the movie did, or earlier -- except Star Wars Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith. That game was actually pretty fun, heh. Oh, every Lord of the Rings game also falls in this category -- just... no, guys. No.

4. Most overrated game -- Final Fantasy VII. Yes, it was great, it was wonderful, it was 3D, it was innovative (not), it had Cloud (omgztehwtfbglol!11!) and SEPHIROTH (omgtwhorgasmslol!1!!). Yes, it was all that and a bag of chips. Now please shut up.

Games that sucked? Lemme see... Panzer Dragoon Orta. Yes, I believe that game sucked. All it has going for it is pretty colors, which in retrospect weren't that pretty. You would fly on a dragon thing, and the dragon thing could change colors and attack patterns. You really couldn't control the dragon, except for it's dragon-missiles. You had complete control of the girl. How boring. Skip it and get yourself some UN Squadron.

Bad story is Blazeon. Unlike most Side-scrolling shooters, which usually involved earth being invaded and you being the last remaining ship (It is a well known fact that the last ship is fully capable of destroying the entire enemy air force/army/navy by itself.), this game skipped it all by have no story at all. None. The same could be said for Hyperzone... but I love that game.

Those Bible stories games should have never been made. They chose the wrong stories, getting banished for eating an apple just doesn't translate into a good experiance. Having your army slaughter every male child in Bethlehem... now THAT's a game^*.

Could people please stop ranting about how "1337" Kingdom Hearts is? It's greatest innovation was splicing Disney with Final Fantasy... everything else is done elsewhere, with better results.

_{* By the way... if anyone is looking for some UN Squadron, Blazeon, Hyperzone action, or wants to hear a detailed reconstruction of Bethlehem infantacide... I'm holding.}

Argh, that game sucked. I mean, it had good graphics and all, but the guys were bursting into battle without even acting surprised about anything. The levels were extremely repetitive in my opinion, and the overall attitude of everyone was bad...The ending wasn't worth it either. "Yeah! We're Sonic HEROES!!!" T_T They didn't even explain why all those clones were aboard the ship. "I guess we should look for that Master Emerald, since that irritating ECHIDNA is here." I thought they liked each other... and she refused the Master Emerald in Sonic Adventure 2. The storylines just don't fit into each other.

[teh yoshi]

I think SSBM is terribly overrated...

Likewise with all GameCube remakes of the golden N64 games, such as Power Tennis, Double Dash, and Mario Party whatever.

Everything has gone all too gimmicky, and the physics are just stifling for me...
