Dusk, I think you're taking his post to heart waaaay too much.

I notice you don't disagree that mostly horrible people play Halo 2...

Tomb Raider Legend

Good: Lara is hot

Bad: Story. Short. Easy

Pikmin- Really fun, impossible to beat.

Donkey Kong 64- Great, until you have to play an old version of Donkey Kong. Which wouldn't be so bad if you had more than one life, and had to beat four levels in a row. Did I mention you have to beat it twice, the second time being harder than the first?

I'm still trying to beat that ****ing game. Sucks that you have to beat the original game just to get to the end boss.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

I must admit, there's an addictive feeling of playing with a group to accomplish a goal. If you can find a group and everyone is teamwork oriented, the game flows smoothly and is enjoyable. Working together to solve a problem, and that business-model mumbo jumbo. That's one reason I still play.

So long as you have good friends with you, you'll definately make it. Unfortunately with me, I usually got stuck with players that were either rude, profane, or just didn't know half the time what the **** they were doing, getting my character and everyone else killed and plummeting my hard earned EXP. I once leveled, then deleveled in the same weekend and that REALLY ****ed me off.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

I got this game this april, and solo'd my char (RDM) to lv 34, where I finally decided i should party. how does it go? they have me be main healer.... MAIN FLIPPIN' HEALER!

So, I quit the game. Just dont find spending 14 bucks a month (had 2 mules) to heal interesting.


Yes, I know I could be some other job, but starting from scratch back up was too boring. After getting your main to lv 25+, and going back to lv your sub or some other, it just seemed 'wrong' for me.

Though, summoner was cool.

Digital Devil Saga 2:

*** SPOILERS ***
Oh god. It's a SMT game, so I like its combat and difficulty, but it's seriously trying my patience. The heroine is a major ***** who I hated from Digital Devil Saga 1's final dungeon (like, way to make you like this major character WHO PROCEEDS TO MAKE THE FINAL DUNGEON BE EXTREMELY ****ING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN), not to mention that she seems to be from the Rei school of generic anime females (i.e. whiny, blank put upon special girls who do absolutely nothing productive yet everyone seems to love them). Seriously, I want to punch her in the face.

Then this ****ing game proceeds to, in the course of 3 hours, remove my three main characters and make them all unavailable to use. ALL OF THEM. So I'm stuck with my stupid second tier characters (thank god I invested in Mutual Karma or I'd be seriously ****ed at this point).

I swear this game is trying its best to make me hate it, but the combat and atmosphere is still drawing me in. But the characters are SO ****ING ANNOYING except for like two. I mean Heat is the classic misunderstood tough guy antihero. Why am I supposed to like him? Seriously, why?

GIVE ME ROLAND BACK YOU ****ING BASTARDS!

Hey, I beat it. Didn't get all the parts the first time 'round, though. Missed a nonessential part.

Star Wars: Battlefront (1 and 2): To be blunt, they're too easy. Sure, I'll occationally lose a battle in Theed (2) or the Dune Sea (1), but otherwise it's just a one-sided slaughter, even on elite, especially in 2 where I have all these powerful bonuses. Seriously, I can't actually participate in a battle and lose, unless I go berzerk and attack my teamates.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

Even though there is a limited workaround for the 100 character limit

I must've missed this.

Soul Calibur III

Excellent fighter.

Difficulty cannot be changed, and on its own, the AI is way too cheap. Perhaps too cheap for its own ****ing good.

A pretty good character creation system, but it would have been better if there was online capabilities.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

I usually forgive games for slow down, even though it really should be inexcusable. Odin Sphere pretty much has a broken boss fight because of this. If it ran normally, it would be over three times as fast.

Slow down was okay in the old days, when you were playing Contra and it gave you an extra second to see a dodge a bullet you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Actually, it kind of works that way in Odin Sphere, too. It's almost a blessing until you die and realize you have to go through the damn broken thing all over again.

A few years ago, I would have complained about Skygunner's slow down, but that was before I played Odin Sphere.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

You want to talk about horrible slowdown, boy.....

Gradius III for the SNES.

The Super NES did not have the megahertz to move multiple sprites--especially big ones--at a decent speed, resulting in some of the most horrific slowdown issues ever seen in any video game. Being the naivete that I am, I thought it would have been fixed up for the VC release. But it was a no-frills emulation of the original port......so you get it all.

Re: Games that you love that have HUGE, GAPING FLAWS!

Dang, you'd think the Wii would be able to process it a little better... I guess that's the Wii's way of saying that it does not like being a new console and having to play old games.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think it was Square that translated it.

ANYWAY!

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Chapter 5...
Land on the island. Hey, let's go look for the missing crew members!
Found them, let's head back to camp!
Oh, wait. We forgot one of them. Let's go look for him again!
Found him! Oh, he needs a drink. Let's head to camp again and get one.
Okay, got the drink. Let's head back to the lost member and give him that drink.
He's fine, now let's head back to camp to find out what to do next.
Ah, we're supposed take this jewel back to where the lost member was.
ARGH!!!!

Chapter 7...
PM Developer One: "Okay, we're doing good so far. This is turning out to be a decently long game."
PM Developer Two: "Hey, I have a great idea! Let's make it even longer by forcing the player to find this white bob-omb by VISITING EVERY FREAKING PLACE IN THE GAME ALL OVER AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE HIM WIND UP BACK AT HOME WHERE WE STARTED!!!"

Freaking GRAH!

These are only two of the instances where this happens. Other than that, Paper Mario 2 is a pretty great game.

I just beat that game actually. I stopped at Chapter 7 when you had to run around looking for the bastard and picked it back up. Seriously. WTF man. But it was still more fun than I've had with most games I just don't know what the hell the developers were thinking including such a mundane fetch quest.
