uh do people actully like this game >_>?

How ya doing, buddy?

God of War didn't work for me. I still don't get why is so popular. Nothing i haven't seen in the recent Prince of Persia games.

FFX: I don't know. I've been willing to play this game for like 5 years. I finished it just recently. The game is too damn linear, doesn't have map freedom and the love story is not as good as FFVIII IMO.

FELIPE NO

The MGS series and Kingdom Hearts. I don't know why I just couldn't get into them. My friends told me the MGS games are some of the best games ever but I lost interest after 30mins. It's all personal preference. For games that I could play for hours, my friends will have lost interest in a few minutes.

How ya doing, buddy?

Soldier of Fortune 2.

I loved the first because it was almost "arcade". anything was fun in it.

SoF2 tried too hard. I don't hate it, heck, I even sometime play it, but this is the first FPS game that bored me this fast. in fact, I was so bored I un-installed it and re-installed the original SoF.

Final Fantasy. I just don't like those games! the only RPG games I enjoyed were the Phantasy Star games for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Need for speed Underground 1 and 2, Need for speed Most Wanted.

do I need to say more? NFSU was more or less okay, but I call NFSU2 and NFSMW mere GTA copycats. okay, they're racing games, but do people really need to turn around for 2 hours in, say, East section, just to find out you were supposed to be at west sector? I enjoyed older NFS games and I still enjoy them today because they're fun to play! okay, I can't choose the color of my neons, or what I want to be writen on my windows, but I don't care!

Such games are fun because they are arcade! Doom is still enjoyable even though I finished it almost 30 times, though I play Call of Duty 2 once and wonder if I really want to play again...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Psychonauts.

Now I don't hate the game at all, but it never peaked my interest like it did so many others. The concept was amazing, and some of the humor was gold, but I felt underwhelmed by it all, especially the gameplay. The attacking system for me felt a bit cumbersome, especially the air-to-ground attack, which goes straight down and somehow slows down gameplay. The blueprint tank was by far the best boss, and at the same time, the only boss I thought was fun to fight. I usually get tired of bosses where trying to find out the weakness and exploting it is the only challenge (I'm looking at you, recent Zelda games). Level design was unique and surreal in concept, but not too fun to play through. Overall, it was nice for a rental, but I don't think I'll be playing it again anytime soon.

Hmm... It seems quite unfair to have this be the only game I can really think of that I don't like, so I'll say:

Halo 2 because it's mainstream lololololol

Most amazing jew boots

The Grand Theft Auto series. No appeal to me, whatsoever. I just don't get it when I hear people raving about them...the idea of playing a thug never appealed to me, and I always just found the look and atmosphere of the games to be very bland and dull. While some of the conepts employed in the GTA series are neat, it was never enough to actually make me have any desire to play them at all...

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

I think this was done deliberate so people could relate with what their previously played characters in II were.

Never said they did, chief. It could be the most in-depth system in the world and still have the cheapest fucking AI ever bestowed upon a video game.

I wondered why they'd rather restrict the player's options by making special moves practically obsolete and super moves so predictable. 3 bar super with multiple options > single super that the other fighter can predict when he sees bar get full.

Recently bought Dark Cloud 1 & 2 this summer, played 10 minutes of the first one, and almost punched myself in the head for wasting my money on such annoying gameplay.

I'll go ahead and say it. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Ridiculous amount of exposition needed to get into the meat of the game, and by then you don't really care because you're either balking at the constant weirdness or saying OMG Japan loll.

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

Please don't let your opinion on the first one deter you from the second -- the second is infinitely better in every single way. Dark Cloud 1 and 2, that is.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Halo on the PC, I'm sure it's great on the Xbox but on the PC (particularly single player) I just couldn't play it. Boring enemies, dreadful environments, sub-standard weapons, generally awful.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You say like a typical american boy. All SNK fighting games? BUAHAHA! Because are not simple ? ....
I hate...hmm...i dont feel emotion for games but i realy dont like 3D games (exept Shenmue and few others). Because that games don't have the spirits...like 2D games.

FELIPE NO

Alpha 3 came out after New Generation, so there were no "changes made from Alpha 3" in terms of what's encouraged.

What exactly are you referring to with your second point though? This applies to both games.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The above is true...I've never liked the -ISM idea from Alpha 3. Having access to full movelists and both CC's and Supers is the main reason I think Alpha 2 is still the best traditional fighter Capcom has made. I liked Alpha 3 when it came out, but my enthusiasm went away extremely fast.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wave Race Blue Storm (Game Cube)

IGN gave it a 9 but I hated it! I would give a 6, 7 at best....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's something about the "Grandia" and "Tales" series that I don't get. Might be the battle systems, but I'm not sure.

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

I think I would have to say the Kingdom Hearts series and Halo series are some of my most despised games of all time. I (very seldom, mind you) play Halo when more than 2 friends are over, but that's over a span of months not even looking at it.

it might just be because of the emo-popularity it has.
all these little fuckin emo kids who are just so psycho about Halo can burn in hell.

Are you talking about 2 and 3 or the whole series?

Cause I can't imagine why someone wouldn't like Grandia 1 ;____;

I was speaking idiomatically.

I got into one battle in Grandia one and promptly turned off the system.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The most recent one in memory is TES:Oblivion. I tried to play it, just like I tried to play Morrowind, but the mythos and storylines of those games bore the fuck out of me. Plus the magic system always seemed like the retarded stepchild compared to just running around swinging a sword. And thief class? Why don't I just run around naked with a fork? Oh wait.

The graphics were pretty, though ; ;

FELIPE NO

I REALLY dont see whats the big deal about

-MGS4
-gears of war
-the Final Fantasy series (with the exception of 7)
-Devil May Cry series

MGS4 meh the graphics are incredible but.... umm. meh

I like the game... but I thought the first level in most games are supposed to be easy? as soon as you walk out of Dantes shop in pt 3, youre barraged with enemies and a boss that dissapears and reappears to kick your ass out of nowhere and mind you, thats right after the first battle

Grand Turismo (however you spell it) it blows. I mean a game where you have to change you oil to win but the car doesn't crash it just gets dirty, think about it people.
