The big one for me is Halo 2, and in general, Halo 1 as well.
While I enjoyed Halo 1, I absolutely loathed Halo 2. What didn't help my enjoyment was how so many people praised the game for being the godsend of FPSes, which is so far from the truth it drives me crazy. These are the people that have such a narrow scope of the gaming world that they shouldn't even be allowed to form an opinion on what's good and what isn't. Halo 2 is the biggest marketing scheme in all of the gaming world if you ask me. Hell, even I was convinced at one point that I should own it, but I broke through the mold and decided that I should probably download it for free before I give them more money. Sure enough, I'm glad I didn't buy it. Everything about Halo 2's campaign mode is a step back from Halo 1's. And I mean EVERYTHING. Weapons - Shittier in every way, including the 2 frames of animation they threw in for melee hits. Vehicles - Here's a great idea! Let's take the thing that made Halo 1 fun (indestructable vehicles) and throw it out the window to make it MORE REALISTIC! Music - Oh wait, it's the same, except they layered an ELECTRIC GUITAR OVER THE SONGS TO MAKE IT MORE XTREME! Story - Who cares, really? Every single cutscene is as cliche as they come, with people finishing others' sentences like it's no tomorrow, edgy women who are tougher than the guys, and bad words to make it more gritty. Production Values - I'd give this game high praise if the Covenant DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. The big thing that gets my Halo 2 goat is how everyone gets fucking bleeding erections over DUAL WIELDING. Wait, you mean the same feature that was handled better 9 years ago when Goldeneye 64 came out? SIGN ME UP! Halo 2 is also the first game I've ever played that experiences slowdown during a cutscene. It's just a big pile of shit. The only thing they did was put the game on Xbox Live and give it more modes of play that have already been available in games that have been out for years and done things better. The fact that this game has such a huge following is a testament of the state of this once beloved industry. It's become infected with a sea of shitty ass new-school gamers who play nothing but Halo and Madden games. /rant Jam it back in, in the dark.
