Your friend or someone must have told you that a game is great and you go and get it. You didn't find anything much interesting about it.

Why didn't you like it. From your point of view "What is the weak feature about the game".

Discuss about all the POPULAR games in the market and their 'CONS' here

rainbow six vegas was crap, heard it was good, but it wasn't tactical, and action based it was generic, graphics were overbloom vomit inducing, Audio quality was substandard, story was weak, ending was terrible, terrible checkpoint system, poor AI. Just overall a very very overrated game.

I hate Grand Theft Auto IV because with an AMD 64-bit 4800+ CPU, 2 gigs of RAM, and a slightly overclocked 8800 GTX, I still can't get an average FPS of over 25 even on Low settings at my default resolution of 1440x900. Lowering the settings and resolution changes nothing.

The game also crashes very frequently: Not only the game itself, but also my entire computer, forcing me to completely shut down and restart everything.

And the worst part about it? I'm not the only one. This is extremely widespread, especially the low FPS, which has impacted every single PC gamer out there who has a copy of the game.

Don't you just love Rockstar now?

"every single" you say? I get around 40-60 FPS playing the game at 1920x1200 on my computer. I'm not about to get in to an arguement over it but making blanket statements like that is pretty silly.

I never played the first far cry but when I played far cry 2 I was a bit disappointed, from what I'd heard about the original far cry I had expected something a bit more special.

Oblivion - dumbed down Morrowind, which was dumbed down Daggerfall

Bioshock - dumbed down System Shock 2

World of Warcraft - World of Grindcraft

Counter Strike - the most repetitive game ever made, headshot, terrorists win, headshot, counter terrorists win, headshot, headshot, headshot

Call of Duty 4 - respawning enemies + nonexistant AI + crappy consolized gameplay = no thanks

Halo - boring and generic

Gears of War - shoot, take cover, shoot, take cover, shoot, take cover, shoot, take cover

(insert bad console port here) - self-explanatory

Counterstrike. Just couldn't really ever get into it. Part of that was because I hate games where you have to wait until the next match to respawn, and part of it was because I just plain out suck at CS (or at least I'm nowhere near as good as the hardcore players).

halo; -cliche story mixing from oldies...beyond terrible. -really really bad leading character. probably the worst possible with everything ( his look, his name ). i dont like power rangers, never liked it. -its slowed "fps"... just to let console players who use gamepads instead of mouse+keyboard, can play it too. -generic with EVERYTHING. not a single original idea. ( dont tell me shield or two weapon system because they were used in different games before but just because they were not popular that doesnt make halo original ) splinter cell; -propaganda story...its beyond cliche -copycat leading charater... -bad mechanics...light/dark system is really bad if you just dont worship the game... you can walk infront of lamps ( so many places, so its not just a bug) but if your stealtmeter says you are in dark, you are in dark...bleh -terrible bugs, just like every other ubisoft games. but i'm ashamed to say "bug" when i heard wooden door sound from iron fence...noone tests ubisoft games.

Let's see

Oblivion, the world is so dull and empty its not worth 10 minutes let alone 60 hours.

Counterstrike, people in it are asshats anychance they get and it ruins the game for me

Halo II, sloppy port

Gears of War, sloppy port

Doom III (it doesn't deserve that title)

Crysis Warhead, secruom and unoptimized

Bioshock,secruom and crappy game

Gothic III, buggy peice of crap

Medieval 2 Total War Gold, my game doesn't wanna work because of you guessed, securom

Civilization, the game is too slow for my tastes

Starcraft, after CoH I'm never going back

That's it from the top of my head.

WoW,I see my friends playing it all the time at his house, and it's just so lame. He does the SAME things over n over again and I get sooo bored watching. I don't see how anyone could spend $15/month for that borefest.

Oblivion = played a friend's copy and didn't understand what was so good about it. Character development was blah, even as a wizard I carried heavy armor and a sword. Main quest was also underwhelming. And if a game needs mods to play right, no thank you.

Halo = not a PC game. Fun with friends on an xbox but on the PC it pales with the competition.

Bioshock = ugh, I am not even going to go there. I didn't even finish the demo because I was so bored.

World of Warcraft = the original game was fun from 1-60, I know (I played it for 2 years), but the raiding was anything but fun with 20+ people and the pvp grew boring outside of BGs (I loved world pvp to just go and destroy other faction members). Maybe the game got better with the expansion packs, but 15$ a month is a bit much for a game that I have too many bad memories of.

And CoD: World at War: same old, same old, except less polished.

FarCry was good fun until the monsters came into it. That just ruined the game for me.

GTA IV - decent game, but i can't really enjoy it because the frame rate is so poor.

Halo 3 - a big fat pile of "meh".

Call of Duty series. Shallow, linear corridor shooters with zero interactivity, and full of historical errors.

Homeworld: First PC game I bought that I didn't finish. Worthless friendly AI meant needless micromanagement and the resource collection aspect seemed pointless and irritating. Hated it.

i agree but i like the fact that they made a fps view gta style clone.. that actually HAS a big map and many sidequests and its not as limited as stalker... THAT was a huge disappointment...not far cry 2.. far cry 2 wasnt in development for 5 years, but stalker.....

using this quote as an example that everyone sees things his own way.. eg i had no bugs in gothic but i got deathbored...:shock: believe it if you want... i want to state that i dont hate any of those games i just feel a bit... "yeah right did the reviewer even played the game?" so ill post my issues.. stalker.. 5 years... fort this? just this? what they hell were they doing all that long? fixing the bugs to bug up on vista? and fix them again after we try them out on vista? or the reason that clear sky is sooooo buggy, is that they didnt take 5 years to un-bug it? crysis.. well judging by the very first previews.... id like to be a little more like "those" previews and not the actual product... feels a bit capped out in my opinion... Chronicles of Riddick.... FPS= first person shooter....so i bought it.... and its like someone made some quake levels and remove the guns and tell you to sneak you foolish buyer.... L4D all awesome because its hl mode:) but the price is a total ripoff

Let me toss in my two cents: Halo and Halo 2: Two games that in my humble opinion should have stayed on the consoles. They brought nothing new and were surpassed by better games upon release. Gears of War: Unlikable characters, interesting but overused cover mechanic, everything is gray and brow, brown and gray, boring plot. Lego - Anything: Come on people, it's cute, it's cuddly, and it's the same ole stuff as before. Sure, Lego Star Wars was a fun little departure from the conventional gaming but after a couple of hours you have played them all. Drop the bloody legoizing of everything. Command and Conquer 3: I'll give you that the videos are humorous but the game feels like it hasn't changed from 95. Yes, that is a good thing in some ways but the formula is starting to feel real strained. Let's see a command and conquer game that gives more freedom and options, not the same ole tank rush with a locked down camera. Spore: Let me just say that this game had a lot of potential but just boring as sin. I have a list of other games but I'm done for now.

Gears of War

This game is the biggest snoozefest I've played. Typical Human vs Alien setting with lame generic "hard ass" characters. The combat in this game is terrible. None of the guns pack any sort of a punch. Locust's seem to store their brains in their kneecaps as headshots don't seem to do any more damage than a body shot unless you have a Magnum. All of the bossfights are too short and easy. Linear, braindead, and lacks any sign of fun rewarding gameplay.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Take Morrowind, cut out 1/3 of the skills, 1/2 of the world size, and all of the atmosphere - bam, you have Obivion. There's too much to pick on about this game, it's too easy. The 6 hour long main quest. The broken lockpicking mechanic. The unimpressive AI. The level scaling. The lack of any rewarding quests (unless you pay for DLC of course). This game is a joke.

Grand Theft Auto 4

It's fun, but less than its predecessors. And the "story" sucks.

Dumbed down Daggerfall? Don't make blatant statements like that, as Morrowind is way better than Daggerfall......unless you like miles and miles of randomly generated crap and the most bugs you'll ever see.
