I waited five years for spore, just for EA to turn it into a soccer mom friendly game

Resident Evil 4 on the PC. I gave Capcom the benefit of the doubt when I saw that it said "Mouse supported" on the back of the case. Yeah, that was a lie and a waste of $30.

Cities XL Limited Edition - All of the buildings seem really similar, pop-ups are annoying, much too easy to go bankrupt; don't get me wrong, I love strategy, RTS and city building games. Cities XL 2011 - Same reason as Limited. It doesn't offer anything too new, either. Wonderful End of the World - I bought it (and audiosurf) exclusively for the Potato ARG around April 5th to discover new clues (that had not yet been discovered). However, it wasn't really that appealing to me. I kept getting stuck in random places and flying around, it had 1993-era animations and grahpics (which actually hinder gameplay, instead of giving me a good 'nostalgic' feel), and not a lot of replay value. D: Audiosurf - I heard a lot of good things about it, but it just made my eyes hurt and I didn't really get in to it. Need4Speed - Hot Pursuit - I was reading around on the new "The Run" game, and I heard lots of people hoping it would be like 'hot pursuit'. This "hot pursuit" game seemed really cool! Apparently it had an awesome storyline, open world levels, and incredible charaters. So I bought it while it was on sale for like 15$. Then I went into 'careers', started a mission... It had no open world-ness (just a bunch of roads, like all of the other racing games I've played), no storyline at all (crashing other cars to get to the finish, without so much as dialogue or cutscenes inbetween), and the only character is your character; who only appears through the window of your car, blankly staring at the wheel. Plus, I couldn't really get in to it. :c EVE online - One of my friends insisted I tried it, so we got a special deal (on his expense) so I could play it for free for 21 days. Unfortunately, I got bored instantly with the constant errand boy missions and the complicated tutorial, and never got to the 'pool of extreme MMO fun' that lay beneath.

Crysis 2. Playing the original really made me disappointed for the sequel.
[QUOTE=Walrus.;29579616]Super Meat Boy - My PC can barely run it on 640-480 resolution. Mafia II - was not worth 60 bucks due to amount of content cut. Black Ops - Got boring after a month and i couldn't stand the people playing it.[/QUOTE] How the fuck can your PC not run SMB when you can run Mafia 2 and Black Ops? [editline]7th May 2011[/editline] And yea, Crysis 2, I was like "I'm gonna spend 60 dollars on an awesome game." Yea, fucking linear-ass console port with abysmal shit multiplayer, thanks motherf*ckers.

ARMA 2- I don't really enjoy it. Civilization 4- It was kind of an impulse buy, but it was boring to me. Total War: Shogun 2- Because I didn't know I was so bad. The Witcher - I hated the combat. And the tons of games I have on steam that I haven't played, but most of them were extremely cheap.
Star Trek Online Digital Deluxe Edition 80% of my Steam game list
Sin and Punishment 2. Just bought it. Treasure wouldn't know good design if it hit them in the face. With a truck.
[QUOTE=Numidium;29662781]How the fuck can your PC not run SMB when you can run Mafia 2 and Black Ops?[/QUOTE] He probably got those games on a console.
[QUOTE=postmanX3;29665424]Sin and Punishment 2. Just bought it. Treasure wouldn't know good design if it hit them in the face. With a truck.[/QUOTE] Wow, that is unfortunate, since I've been wanting to get that because the first one was rad as fuck. I mean, yeah it had some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard in a video game, but it at least had the excuse of being old and badly translated. Also, I'm surprised at the lack of mentions of Perfect Dark Zero. If it were maybe a standalone launch title for the Xbox 360, maybe it wouldn't be too bad, but as a follow up to a game that many people played for hours on end each day, it was shit. Hey, you know that English lady who had the face of an ape when in-game but had the potential to be an actual female character instead of a tool for adolescent pandering? Well now she's a super-model with skimpy clothes and an incredibly grating American accent bordering on a "Valley Girl" accent. You know that unique multiplayer that just had that sort of "shine" to it that just kept you hooked on it for hours on end, even if the bots were cheating dickbags? Yeah, now it's just a Halo knock-off with a bit of Counter Strike mixed in. You know those animations that, for the time, blew everybody away with their sheer complexity? Well now the animations are stiff as a rod and people just glide merrily along whenever they walk. It kinda reminded me of the Resident Evil movies in a weird way: It has nothing to do with the original source material, and any attempt at trying to relate with the source material just makes it more pathetic. The protagonist is written like someone out of a bad fanfiction and has next to nothing to do with the source material, and the story and dialogue somehow managed to be worse than the original which wasn't even good to begin with.

You can't see your hitbox, the projectile's hitboxes, the enemies' hitboxes... it's just impossible to read what's going on. Plus, there's a ton of minor annoyances like little moving red lights in the backgrounds (never, ever a good idea in a projectile-heavy game) and the fact that the controls feel sluggish. Melee attacks don't activate until about a half-second after you hit the button, which is fucking aggravating in fights like the one at the end of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGaZaMNSlk&feature=related]this video.[/url] (Coincidentally, that boss is bullshit for a number of other reasons, but even its bullshittiness pales in comparison to some of the later ones.)
