Reach is awesome and all but for me somehow it just doesn't feel as satisfying as Halo 3 and I think it's because I'm not playing as me...

Master Chief. :P

Sometimes i wish Little Big Planet had more blood and gore.

[QUOTE="EddieTheHead84"][QUOTE="Not-A-Stalker"] I didn't notice a plot hole when I played through it, what is it?hakanakumono

It doesn't really show everything that the characters are thinking. Rather, it reveals how much of what he did was covering up the evidence. But there are huge plotholes, for example the father's blackouts ... finding the origami in his hand. These things don't make sense when he's not the killer. It's stupid to betray the integrity of a story for the sake of shocking plot developments.

yea the whole black out thing felt like it was there just to throw people off. In the end there was no explanation for it at all. Also the whole cover up thing was a nice twist when everything comes together. I was even caught off guard and was like "wow thats pretty dang cool"

Super Mario World.

Pros: Best game ever (undisputed fact).

Cons: Makes every other game seem like garbage.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Poorly written and bad ending. Final Act was disappointing as well as the final boss fight.

Fallout 3 - Way too man glitches. Story isn't really compelling.

Half Life 2 - Vehicle segments are dragged on too long.

I love to do this since it always remind me how much i like the game even with this flaws.

Zelda OoT

Can get ridiculous easy at the end if you have too much hearts.
Some side quest are kind of boring and useless.

Bayonetta

The Camera can get in your way more than once.

Guns of the Patriots

Lastchapter should have been longer, i love the stealth parts they implemented here, but it was way too short.

Super Mario Bros 3

Not enough Kuribo's shoes in the game :x

Almost Forgot

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

The Stage Creator was really dissapointing.

Ocarina of time - Couldn't skip the intro.

Mass Effect -There should be something to do when you finish the game , othar than creating a new character I mean , some horde mode and whatnot.

Mass Effect 2 - Same as above and Planet Scanning.

Bayonetta - Same as above , albeit there's something like it and the driving levels.

Valkyria Chronicles - Its sequels should be on ps3 rather than the *sigh* psp.

Heavy Rain - They won't release more DLC c'mon the first had, well, the number 1 in its name suggesting that more would come , and still nothing.

KOTOR - i wish the sequel dint suck

sinpkr

Far Cry 2.

Unlike most people, I dont mind the guardposts,like to fight them using many tactics and weapons,but the malaria thing is completely pointless and very annoying, not to mention the underground missions (to get malaria medicine)are extremely repetitive and generic.

KOTOR - i wish the sequel dint suck

NO!

KOTOR - i wish the sequel dint suck

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Poorly written and bad ending. Final Act was disappointing as well as the final boss fight.

brickdoctor

I cant agree with any of that. Espcially the final boss fight which to me was one of the best boss fights this gen. Though I will say some negatives were some convations went on for to dam long and MGO was a big mess.

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Are you out of your mind? KoTOR II kicks the original to the curb in almost every way.DarkLink77

vampire bloodlines. needa say more ?

Also the whole gothic serie, the combat was at best garbage, ( holding CTRL, then pressing UP to hit, really ? )

Mass Effect 1 - can't play after credits, copy and paste dungeons, MOUNTAINS

Mass Effect 2 - not enough RPG elements, hammerhead aka paper-mobile, no SLC

Dragon Age Origins - not so fun combat, sometimes a bit complicated, bad graphics

:P

Demon's Souls - World 5

I'll do this gen.

AC Brotherhood; Great game, but the ending is awful, and a few of the missions are infuriating to get 100% on. Not challengin, but extremley cheap.

Silent Hill Homecoming: Good story, great atmosphere, but combat is very lackluster.

Dead Space (series): Sometimes enemies come off as feeling cheap than challenging.

Final fantasy crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers: Great game, great concept, graphics and soundtrack, decent story, but Belle is just annoying, and a few of the medals have some really obscure hints.

Super Mario galaxy: One of the best games on Wii, but a few of the coin challeneges are infuriating.

SMG2: Improves alot on SMG, but the lack of a wholly new idea makes it feel more like an amazing expansion pack than a full game.

Red Steel 2: Awesome action, breath taking visuals, but the story's potential is never realized, and it's very short, with little to do outside of combat.

Pokemon Heartgold: Amazing RPG, but some of the closed buildings could have been redone to expand the game even further. That just seems nitpicky to me, though.

Okami: One of my all time favorites, but the brush controls can frustrate. However, it is still amazing.

New super Mario Brothers wii: Fun platformer, but alot of the music is sub par and there aren't enough airship levels. Also, the lack of meaningful innovation somewhat hurts my score of it.

RE5: Improves upon many parts of RE4, especially Mercenaies (which is a blast to play with friends), but the comptuer AI is very inconsistent, and there are many less exciting moments in the campaign than in RE4.

That's all for now...

Demon's Souls its too easy :( i hope Dark's Souls will be harder

Mass Effect 2 - forced helmets - if you opt to wear a helmet from a shop that has nice benefits to them (biotic power bonuses, shield recharging, negotiations bonuses, etc...) or one of the DLC armors, I can't stand that there's no option to autohide the helmet during the dialog cut scenes, which really gets in the way of the interaction. ME1 let you manually disengage helmets, and DAO had equipped helmets auto hidden during dialog cinematics. Why not in ME2? Still my personal game of the generation, but geez.

Dragon Age Origins - the graphics, nuff said.

Halo Reach - brain dead AI drivers - when playing the game solo, you get screwed with an AI partner handling vehicles. Either they don't know what to shoot at or in my case where I like handling the gun (especially in the gauss-hog and rocket-hog) they drift in circles or repeatedly bump into the nearest rock. You'd think driving training was covered in the UNSC :x

Alan Wake - getting blind sided by enemies - when you are using the flashlight which focuses the camera, I find myself always attacked from a blind side. I find it impossible to get that achievement for certain areas that require you to take little damage. That and the infinite respawning enemies.

Tomb Raider Underworld - confined camera - happens so often, I'm backed up on a ledge where I need to jump across a chasm, but the camera which can't get behind the wall is looking direct on Lara, insead of where I need to be jumping, so I can't see where I'm going. Other games like PoP have intelligently handled this with forced side view cameras, please Crystal Dynamics, LEARN FROM THIS in the upcoming reboot!!!

Batman Arkham Asylum - it came to an end :cry:

Demon's Souls its too easy :( i hope Dark's Souls will be harder

Zurrur

Isn't that widley consideredn the toughest game this gen?

Batman Arkham Asylum: Whats with the gargoyles inside a building? Some Enemies take too many hits for a normal thug.

Fallout 3: Lag and some bugs taking away from the experience. Melee weapons are not useful.

Halo Combat Evolved: The Library level. Warthog bounces around like its tires are made out of springs.

Call of Duty 4: Short Campaign. The allies that are invincible have to be so stupid.

Its not so much tough but unforgiving and it doesnt hold your hand at all.

Its more challenging. As in the game makes you pay for mistakes and you must study the level. I also hear there is a class that way to overpowered. So some might of just used that class just to make the game easier.

Forza Motorsport 3: the interface was too damn bland, and that announcer's voice annoyed me to no end.

Gears of War 2: Took too damn long to fix the online, Epic.

Okami: Really? Attacks that need to be timed activated by waggle? Really?

GoldenEye 007: I feel like Bond is a myopic every time I reload.

Ugh yea. 5-2 just a big pitch black area. Thats the only time I needed a video guide since I was just lost. I also hated the giant trolls. Which didint react to any hits at all and you just had to kill them as fast as possible. THe other level I was terrifed was the one with the high tower. I was in constant fear of falling off.

Indeed and the fact that you cant evade in the swamp either makes it pretty frustrating if you dont kill it before it reaches you. :cry:

KOTOR - i wish the sequel dint suck

Zelda ALTTP - It ends.

Metroid Prime - Samus is not as athletic as the 2D ones and Other M and more stiff.

Final Fantasy IX - Trance mode (or the limit break) is not used as well as other FF games. The battles can be really long.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles - The barrel from Carnival Night Act 2.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - I can't think of anything other then it is a sequel to an already near flawless game.

PS1 Era - spyro gfx suck (Compared to now)

PS2 Era - Shadow of the Colossus has some glitches

Current gen - Mass Effect 2 has an ending :(

Uncharted 2 is too linear

Oblivion looks dated compared to Skyrim

Mass Effect combat isn´t that great

Reach´s campaign could have had more epic moments.

Resident Evil 4:No running and guning

Uncharted 2: It makes Uncharted Drakes Fortune look like a bad game

God of War series: Button Masher.

Super Mario Galaxy 2: Green Stars are brutal to get

Metal Gear solid 4: 40 minute cut scenes is too long.

Sailing in Wind Waker can be a drag sometimes.
