Big flaws in otherwise great games?

TheDude184 · 2012-02-22 01:05:43

Sometimes when I am just starting to get into a game, I find out it has one or two bad aspects that really stand out as the game in general is great. Here are such games:Just Cause 1 & 2 - both of these games are great and very intense, but the shooting really changed the whole experience for the worse.The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Morrowind is my favorite game of all time, so how could the sequel disappoint? The quests are brilliant, so are the characters and story and towns, but the leveling system really ruined for me. Your level really didn't matter as your enemies level up with you. Oblivion is not an rpg - it's more of an action game (at least comparing it to Morrowind)

Off the top of my head... Half Life 2: Pacing Issues Witcher 1: ^ (then again, the game was more about immersing you in a mature and heavily political fantasy world more than the plot, so i'm not sure if it counts) Witcher 2: Too short compared to the first one Planescape Torment: overly simplified in it's combat system compared to other games of the same time Dragon Age Origins: at times, the difficulty spikes go extremely up.... or down. Deus Ex: abnormal re use of character design STALKER: Really hard to follow storyline Fallout New Vegas: Excesivelly continuistic, with very little evolution. Dark Souls: a storyline(yes, i'm not high, there is one) that is so annoyingl cryptic , that it borderlines the incomprehensible.

[QUOTE="Prexxus"]
[QUOTE="DanielDust"] Witcher 1 - slow and random first actDanielDust

Could not agree any less. The first act in The Witcher was one of my favorites. Everything about it was awesome.

There's nothing awesome about a vague and pointless introduction, it's generally disliked by Witcher fans and hated by everyone else that tried Witcher and never got far. If one of the worst parts in more than one decade of games, was awesome, I don't know what to say about your taste in games.

I liked that act D: but i will admit it felt random, but again, i think the game is more about getting you into its cynical and heavily political fantasy world more than the plot(which i still think was excellent). Although... i did got tired of Geralt un ending jugging marathon with nothing else to look at :p

Duke Nukem Forever's Multiplayer would of actually been pretty good if it wasn't for the massive amount of LAG.

COD is still great in my opinion, but the main problem with it (no more user made maps) and a community filled with morons with keyboards, and hackers.

Red Alert 3, if it wasn't so damn cheesy.

Silent Hill homecoming had a sound issue on pc that keeps me from playing it, all the sound is offset to one speaker.

COD:BO could of been a great game if it wasn't optimized like pure garbage compared to all other COD games.

Borderlands had a bad problem with its advanced shadows system, (destoryed performance)

Diablo III not having Matt Uelmen do the composing of the soundtrack, although I have hopes that their current composers do a great job.

Act of War, restricted resolutions, and have to virtually limit system memory to a max of 3gb, (including VRAM)

The Witcher, lacky optimization.
