[General Discussion] Games that are supposed to be really good but you hate

GTA is really the only game I despise thats enjoyed by masses.

Halo is vastly over-rated, but I don't have a particular disliking for it. I just think its dumb that such a mediocre game is what got the Xbox most of its original sells.

Donkey Kong Country gets an honorable mention as well. I don't dislike them, but they seemed really popular at the time... although, extremely stupid imo.

RE4 gets a mention, not because of the game itself, but because of Capcom's shitty politics. Release a version for the PS2 with extra features, but reduce the quality, lighting quality, special effects, and object on screen due to releasing it on a less powerful system? Rerelease it on GC, or port it over to a system that can handle the original graphics and objects on screen (Xbox). Stupid Capcom.

Edit:
How could I forget WoW. A game that looked great during early developement. Now, I see it as nothing more than blizzard slowly destroying a unvierse theyve spent 3 games and 2 expansions creating. Oh, and the graphics and polygons are ugly as shit. Plenty of MMORPGS released around that time, and some even earlier, are much more attractive. Stupid World of Warcraft. Hopefully, the future of Blizzard games will not follow this shitty trend.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Your telling me that youve played every nintendo game, and that you hated all of them? For some reason... I find that a tad difficult to believe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It was Capcom and its shareholders. With the announcement of the port, they also pissed off a bunch of their staff and the games' creator, causing some of them to opt to work on no further RE titles. Its also a slap in the face to Capcom's exclusivity clause on the game. In addition, it irritated Nintendo supporters, RE fans who followed the politics, and leaves future customers to choose between a better product with less content, or lower quality for more content. Major fuckup by capcom, and they didn't seem to give a damn.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The SNES emulator just sits on my harddrive doing nothing at all since every other SNES game just freaks me out with exception to Chrono Trigger (a Square game anyway, the only Square game worth playing too).
Same for the Nintendo 64 emulator, every game I've played just plain bored me, exception to Conker BFD (a Rare game anyway)
Finally Gamecube, I got this one for 50€... that money would've been way better wasted on ice cream!

Everygame on the Super freaks you out? I'm sorry, but I don't understand. How do they freak you out?

Many people still believe the Super to be the best system so far. In America, games were released from 1991 up til 1999; and in Japan it was from 1990 up til 2000. This system lasted significantly longer than any other.

So, your saying theres not one good game for the super nintendo? How many games have you actually tried on the super nintendo? Which games? What made them so unlikeable? What games do you _like_ if theres not even one on the super nintendo. Your only exception was chrono trigger; why do you hate all the other massive ammount of rpgs on snes except chrono trigger? Stateside, the Super had over 600 games released (cant find the numbers for Japan). So, you telling me all but one of those sucked?

Different people have different opinions on different games, and thats fine. However, what your saying is poorly founded. I like resident evil, metroid, zelda, silent hill, and many of the other games mentioned in this thread. But to say you hate, or even just dislike, all of over 600 titles... That is something I can't believe.

Personally, I dislike the Xbox, but there are still games on it I find fun and entertaining, despite my dislike of the system. Saying I dislike the system, and that I dislike ALL of its games are two very different things. There are also a fair ammount of games for it I haven't even tried, and thus saying that would also be an ignorant statement based on a limited number of expierances.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What exactly is nintendos style of game? Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario, Tetris, Kirby, F-Zero, Star Fox... Which one of these is nintendo's style? They dont all nicely fit into the same style. And to judge a systems entire library just by its 1st party games is an invalid and non-representing sample. Majority of games on a system are not made by the systems creating company. Certainly, the SNES version of doom was not made by nintendo. No, it was made by ID software. But it was on the SNES. Non-nintendo games are part of a system's library, as well as, are are the vast moajority of software titles for a system.

If you don't like the games nintendo makes, say that. Don't say you dont like any games for the whole system. That just sounds ignorant.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Dead or Alive (the whole series) - Shame on anyone who conciders this game tournament worthy. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Don't know if it's suposed to be good or not. But its not at all popular here... except for the beach volleyball game. I don't know anyone who has any of the games, or who has tried any except the volleyball game. It never looked that good to me... but appearances can be misleading.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I already mentioned WOW but I'll add Diablo II. This is because it was such a let down from the original Diablo which was actually fun. Sure, Diablo II had more content but leave it to Blizzard to botch it up. What made Diablo so great was the fact that it was a pure dungeon crawler. Starting off beneath the church and going further down until you reach hell was sweet unlike walking across deserts and rain forrests. And the portal to hell thing has been done to death. Diablo II was just very uninteresting - story and locations. The big complaint is sound. Whereas in Diablo everything had a very sastifying crunch Diablo II felt weak. The soundtrack for Diablo II was decent but not as good as the original. The graphics of Diablo were really great for it's time but when Diablo II was released I was expecting to see an overhaul and instead the game looked very rough. Blizzard somehow got very lucky with Diablo since the rest of their games are, well... crap.

I didn't hate Diablo II. However, I kind of have to agree with every comment made. The soundtrack was good, but lacked diversity and soemwhat all run together. My biggest tiff with it was acutally the loss of the random quest system. I still ahve a bit of curioisty for a couple quests in the original Diablo, since I never actually got those during the game. My other tiff was that uniques and rares and such were too good. There was no longer any use to use just magical items. The modifiers in uniques in the original were several levels below their maximum possible on magical items, and as such, sometimes a magical item might be better than a unique. Diablo 2 did away with this though. Shame.

Oh? I've been intending to try all three of those actually :P

If you need shelf space, let me know XD
