Hated Saints Row 3 and 4. Didn't have that same gang style thing going for it like the first two. But hey everyone else seemed to love the changes.
Spore Watch dogs, went to the midnight launch to pick up my collector's haha MGSV Skyrim Destiny
mario and luigi dream team, i tried to like it so hard but i just found it really boring. it's visually really nice and the soundtrack is real good, the concept of the dream world is pretty interesting and they did try to flesh out the combat more but the overworld exploration puzzle stuff was pretty bland in my opinion and the writing and characters weren't as good as bowser's inside story. not really a bad game i just think the franchise peaked at bowser's inside story and this one didn't hold my interest as much.
Rust. jbmod was better in pretty much every way
[QUOTE=cj55748;49486822]Hated Saints Row 3 and 4. Didn't have that same gang style thing going for it like the first two. But hey everyone else seemed to love the changes.[/QUOTE] Love the changes, but Saints Row 2 will always be the better overall game.
Spore times ten. Destiny. Thankfully there was a free beta I could use to see that it wasn't that great. Payday 2 was great but the sheer amount of DLC-bullshit makes me sad and me and my friends pretty much abandoned it completely. Starbound. Good thing about Starbound is that now I'm super-careful when it comes to Early Access.
Starship Troopers: Invasion
Surprised Frozen hasn't been mentioned yet. All I could think of while watching it was how on earth people kept praising this like it was the second coming. It's mediocre at best.
Legend of Zelda OoT - I wasn't born until 1994, so I was too young to play the game and appreciate it when it came out. I have an older brother who did though, and so I watched him play it and while I've always appreciated the story and the artistic direction, I didn't actually attempt to play the thing until I was in my late teenage years. By that time the game had been out for more than a decade and had been declared by the internet as "the best game of [I]all time[/I]," which I knew was overkill, but I tried to have an open mind about the whole thing. Anyway, I found that it had aged poorly in a lot of aspects, with Z-targeting camera controls and combat being clunky, repetitive and linear game design choices, and "puzzles" which weren't actually puzzles but were rather timed platforming exercises or simply hidden targets to shoot with the slingshot or bow. By repetitive and linear, I mean that the game follows a strict formula of allowing the player to access a particular area or dungeon, providing the tools to complete the dungeon and kill the boss within that dungeon, and then rinse and repeat with a different area. For a game with such a large overworld map, it was disappointing to basically be corralled from point A to B to C until you reach the endgame. I didn't feel like I was actually "exploring" as opposed to being told exactly where to go. Also keep in mind that by the time I played OoT, I had already played and beaten Elder Scrolls Oblivion on the 360. Even though I was prepared to enter OoT with generously low expectations for the in-game world, it still managed to surprise me how much the industry had advanced in the intermittent ~6 years. I've been told, however, that OoT actually regressed in terms of exploration and latitude compared to Link to the Past, so I'm curious if the formula they implemented for OoT is actually a calculated misstep by Nintendo because of the sheer challenge of producing the first 3D Zelda, as in, they compromised the openness of the game in order to make sure that the whole package could be polished and could deliver a competent story to any decently-cooperative player. Well, anyway, I dropped the game, and still haven't finished it to this day. I dropped it because I was bored- bored with the mechanics, frustrated with the controls, the clunkyness of the platforming puzzles and combat, the restrictiveness of the game world, and so on. It probably didn't help that I already knew going in what the story was going to be and how it was going to end. That's not to say it was a bad game. I'm sure it was extremely impressive for its time, but this is a game which is still hailed by so many people on line as "the best ever" to the point that I would have expected so much more from it.
[QUOTE=Metaru;49491663]Starship Troopers: Invasion[/QUOTE] only realy the first movie from the 90's was any good,.
Fallout 4, its pure garbage story, its not an RPG because you have little to no choices, completely butchered dialog because of the voiced MC and the cost of words(voiced MC added nothing beneficial at all). 4 choices for any dialog. Runs like absolute shit while being pretty ugly. If the actual act of exploring and shooting shit wasnt fun, it would be straight up just a bad game. Oh yeah, completely butchered character building. Assassins Creed 3, I was so fucking hyped, what a mess, and what a waste of a perfect time setting.
I hate how everything in Fallout ends in violence, I guess it makes some sense considering that it's a hostile and post apocalyptic setting but still there are so many opportunities wasted.
uh not all of us played FO4
hl3. And i'm serious, so much hype for nothing
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;49495936]uh not all of us played FO4[/QUOTE] being spoiled of FO4 is the equivalent of being spoiled to Good Night Moon. FO4 story is laughably garbage and not important at all.
To this very day I am still salty about batman: arkham city.
Pulp Fiction a little bit.
Atilla: Total War Honestly stung worse than Rome II.
Battlefield 3 Mass Effect 2 and 3 Borderlands 2 (not AS much tbh) Crysis 2 All apart of the previous games' franchises, but much too different in the aspects I liked about said franchise for me to like them.
The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - I preordered it for the 1000.-(about €59), I loved the trailers and expected it to be just as insane as CoD4:MW, but I completed the game in one evening. Multiplayer was fun while it lasted, but I didn't expect so little out of such a massive hype. When mum saw the credits roll after I brought the game home, she was pissed since I paid so damn much for it. The feeling was mutual. But the fuckin' [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=429l13dS6kQ"]trailer[/URL] tho. Star Wars: The Force Awakens - [sp]More like just throwbacks to the old saga and nothing interesting added into the mix. Just good guys defeat bad guys.[/sp] [sp]Sending TEN fucking X-wings to attack an entire fuckin' PLANET? Come on![/sp] [sp]I seriously got that vibe that Finn was Solo's and Leia's son, even know he's black. Knowing movies today they could've pulled that one out of their ass if they wanted to.[/sp]

First of all I don't how you got the idea that Finn was Solo and Leia's son that's fucking ridiculous lol, where did that come from? This has to be fucking satire because holy shit, did you even watch it or are you just talking shit? If you are I'm sorry. If you're not I'm even more sorry.[/sp] :v: You've got to be joking around though, right? I just don't see it man, no way. I could go on about this but it make no sense whatsoever to begin with.
Borderlands: The Pre Sequel. Everything about the game was smaller than 2. The world was smaller. the story was just 3/4 the story of BL2. The list of unique weapons was shrunk and a large number of them were just slight alterations to BL2 weapons. Instead of 4 dlc campaigns and 5 mini campaigns, there's just 1 dlc campaign and one that pretends it is but really isn't and is one of the poorest dlc's ever put on steam (81% of reviews are negative). One less playthrough than 2, capping at a lower level. The raid boss of the main campaign literally being the final boss with more health. It's Borderlands 2 with a bunch of shit either carried over or taken out and on the moon. 8 months since I last played Pre Sequel, and to this day I regularly boot up BL2 with friends. Also I should mention they had the balls to release a game with a 60$ pricetag despite the above. Even today you can get 2, a game with simply more content, for half the price you can get PS.
MGSV Fantastic intro and great game play but it went stale fast and never had a real ending
I rarely get actually mad when I'm disappointed by a game/movie but the last time I remember is amnesia a machine for pigs its so retarded, just fuck off
Battle: Los Angeles
all of them [editline]10th January 2016[/editline] i want to die
Smash 4 - I had alot of fun with it don't get me wrong, and its not shit. But I stayed away from all information when it was being released and when I got it and found out it had no adventure mode to it really upset me. Also hitman absolution
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;49498336]The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies[/QUOTE] only 45 min's of that haves any worth but I spend most of my time starting at the ceiling and going to the lobby and gettig food or just walking because I was so bloody bored [editline]10th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Saxon;49498845]MGSV Fantastic intro and great game play but it went stale fast and never had a real ending[/QUOTE] did you look up mission 51 that was meant to be the true ending
Driv3r... I mean, the name alone should have set off alarm bells. And any beloved franchise EA has dipped it's festering cock into over the past decade.
