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

World of Warcraft. Here are some quick facts.


+ The game has over 6 million accounts. A third of those accounts are asians botting to sell items and gold on eBay.

+ It uses an outdated recycled warcraft 3 engine. The cartoon graphics look retarded and don't fit the genre.

+ The game has no balance. Classes really have nothing unique about them to distinguish themselves. Healer = DPS. Tank = DPS. DPS = well, slighty more DPS than the rest. Classes are also lampooned to spec a certain way or no one will want you in the raid.

+ Each new live update seems to break the game further or make very jarring changes to game. Such as combat changes and taking away the uniqueness of races.

+ If you read the official (hell any) forums you have 6 million people bitching and complaining about all same things people bitch about in other MMO.

+ The result is that we have a horrid game 6 million people around the world are compelled to play simply because it's made by Blizzard. These 6 million people are screaming for blood on the official forums and yet continue to pay their subscription because they don't have the guts or the sense to stand up and realise Blizzard lick balls.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Were you not awake during high school English lectures? I think you'll find most 'th' words are pronounced as such. Hence in English, Aerith would be, Aerith. Go butcher another language and stop watching so much god damn anime.

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.

No it's not. It stopped being cool to hate on FFVII years ago. Final Fantasy VII is crap. A priori. So it's a foregone conclusion nobody actually likes it. And people who still claim it to be the "best RPG ever" are retarded.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is what I've gathered so far. You believe FFVII to contain a deeply homosexual plot between Cloud and Sephiroth. This is only strengthened by the fact Sephiroth was at some point voiced by a homosexual man, Lance Bass. You seem to dislike homosexuals, so therefore you disliked FFVII. Regardless if it was intentional others have pointed out this to be humourous.

You also provide Wikiproof that Aerith pronounced Aeris in Japanese is a literal translation of the english word 'earth' and so because of this the original name Aerith was changed to Aeris for the North American release so that it would make sense even though it's likely a large percentage of people would have never made the Aeris-earth connection without prior knowledge of the japanese translation except unless it was specifically made mention during the game which I don't recall. However, orginally you stated Aerith should be pronounced Aeris since that's how the Japanese would say it so why on earth (excuse the pun) should Aerith be pronounced Aerith in English.

Now we've opened the floodgate. The entire english language needs to be re-written. All 'sh' 'th' 'ion' words need to have their pronounciation changed so we don't all go around with a lisp and sound like we have down syndrom.

Also your comment about Baret, I am no so sure if that is racist. Would you call the guys at Valve racist when they created the G Man. A white antangonist man in a suit and tie with a briefcase. You know the whole white collar-blue collar crime thing.

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