Post any game you have played, bought or received that was not so good, that with a few minor changes, could have been better. if you would like, include box art.
[B]PLEASE ALSO EXPLAIN WHY[/B]
ALONE IN THE DARK (Wii)
[img]http://content.vcommerce.com/products/966/31580966/main-150.jpg[/img]
A first/third person shooter/Survival-horror game.
I picked this up at game stop during a "Buy one get one half off" sale along with Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (which is pretty good).
Basically you are this guy, Edward (No he doesn't sparkle in the sunlight).
You wake up in this room with two guys talking about some magical thingy. as you wake up, your vision gets blurry and to refocus your vision you have to press down on the D-Pad every 3 seconds. this scene lsts about 5 minutes. then the 2 guys take you to the roof where they are going to kill you.
Then some mystical force kills the two guys and you have to escape the building thats collapsing. then after you escape you have to drive a car to escape the city but you have to stop cause the road is broken.
NO MORE CRAPPY PLOT ONTO WHY THIS GAME WAS BAD AND WHY I COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!
1) Controls. The controls are somewhat creative, but often, fail to work. the aiming of the gun works well, and if you tilt the Wiimote to shoot "gangsta style" (please don't hate me for saying that) the gun on screen rotates with the wiimote. however, to get a lighter/flashlight, you must open your inventory, by moving the Wiimote and Nunchuck like your a guy sellin' watches taped to the inside of his jacket. this works sometimes, but most of the time it doesn't. To reload, you move the Nunchuck towards the Wii mote as if you were reloading a real gun. same thing applies this doesn't work all the time.
2) Voice acting/dialouge writing. The voice actors are just plain annoying. They supposed to be scared for their life. they sound like theyre talking about their day at work at the dinner table. Whats really annoying is during a car chase, the a woman in your car says "easy there andretty we've got a hurt man here. how'd you ever pass the driver's test.". the emotin behind this line sounds like she's happy that she might die. every line this one character says sounds like that. it especially gets annoying if you get stuck and have to hear the same, poorly executed lines OVER AND OVER.
Overall I give this game a 4/10, and that's being generous.
With some better directing, voice acting, and better controls, maybe I would give this game a 7/10
[b]EDIT:[/b] Another thing i hate about this game is that in all it terribleness, I cant stop playing! I just want to beat the damn game so I can be done with it forever, but it's so frustrating that I Quit before i toss my wii out the window.
And Wii isn't that bad, just all the good games are buried under the crappy game that took 5 minutes to come up with and 1 mont MAXIMUM to create, which is about 85-90% of them.
inb4 spore
Stalker: Clear Sky...
Damn faction wars system is broke beyond repair and the game generally has a lot of bugs.
It's also damn hard to mod.
Soldner.
The developers pretty much didn't give a fuck.

Kane and Lynch.
I hate it with a passion.
Far Cry 2. I enjoyed the game but it could have been so much better
I have to say it - Spore. I think everyone here knows why.
Dark Sector:
The game was fun to play but the story sucked ass and not sure if online was any good... probably not.
black and white 2
Spore.
EA shoulda just poured money on Wright instead of thinking "We'll take over now thanks"
I thought of another game
STUNTMAN (PS2)
[img]http://masem.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/stuntman-cover3.jpg[/img]
Basically, you are a stunt car driver.
6/10 because of lack of tutorial. Maybe it was explained how to do certain manuvers in the manual, but a friend gave this to me when he sold his playstation, and he didnt plan on buying a PS3, and I dont have the manual.
I was gonna say the new Wolfenstein, but fuck it, Spore.

The new Wolfenstein is quite fun, but could definitely be better. And Spore was fun while it lasted, which wasn't very long.

1942.
:eng101:
Spore could never have been good. Not with Will Wright and Chris Heckler in charge. There's so many simple changes to the gameplay that would have made the game great, but they never intended for it to be that way.
I'm tempted to say Supreme Commander 2, but I'll wait untill it's released before saying that.

Man I remember this game. We did a LAN party of it once and it was great. The issue is basically as you said, the devs didn't give 2 shits and released it buggy and horrible. It had a lot of things going for it that hadn't been done by that time, too.
Fallout 3.
[B]READ B4 DISAGREE[/B]
It sucks because of the many DLC's.

How does DLC make Fallout 3 bad?

The multiplayer is fun but there's like noone playing online

I think it sucks without the DLCs, which probably should have been in the vanilla game.
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;17231332]How does DLC make Fallout 3 bad?[/QUOTE]
Exactly what I thought
snip
Trespasser could have been awesome and way ahead of it's time but the developers decided to release it early so it was a buggy piece of shit that looked like crap.
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;17231332]How does DLC make Fallout 3 bad?[/QUOTE]
because Broken Steel should have been in the game in the first place, they made you pay money to finish the game.
and the writing should have been way better, a monkey could have written better dialogue.

So hilariously buggy
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
It was/ is a buggy piece of shit.

People say that the patches fixed it but I just don't see how.
It's still just as shitty even all patched up.
Got to be Spore for me, have not touched it in god knows how many months and never will again. Will Wright how could you do this to us?!
