Games you enjoyed in spite of the weak gameplay...

Man, I've seen you praise games with weak gameplay lol. :P

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] How is it hardly a gameparkurtommo

Its very bare bones imo. More-so than what you would typically expect from a game. Yes its interactive and yes there are objectives, but they seem to take a back seat in the overall experience.

I'll admit, saying hardly a game is an exaggeration on my part, but the gameplay is not at the forefront of what makes it appealing. At least that's how I see it. I only played for about an hour, maybe 2 hours max so maybe it changes? The only thing that kept me interested was the art styIe. There were some absolutely beautiful moments.

Yeah I definitely need to put in more time then. I'm still early in the game. Or at least I think I am, I'm not sure how long it is.

The original Assassin's Creed and Uncharted 3.

UnrealLegend

The poor transitioning is why I consider it to have overall weak gameplay. It felt so clunky and incomplete, at least in comparison to UC2.

I enjoyed Sword of The Berserk: Gut's Rage immensly on the Dreamcast, despite the ridiculously repetitive gameplay.

Colony Wars, Two Worlds 2 and Diablo 3

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] Hmm I don't think UC3 had weak gameplay. Monkey around the combat areas, moving in and out of cover, climbing stuff, starting a melee fight, diving under water, then pop up somewhere to stsrt shooting again. To me that was a ton of fun and it felt real smooth all the way, dispite transitioning between different types of gameplay. Sushiglutton

I felt the gameplay in U3 was pretty much horrible. Every aspect of it felt very unpolished. U2 had much better gameplay overall.

Bulletstorm

Definitely FO3, FO3:NV, Oblivion and Skyrim.

The shooting in Fallout is pretty terrible couple that with the abysmal AI, Stealth system blows only saving grace is the atmosphere it creates and the exploration.

Oblivion and Skyrim's combat is just bad, along with the same crappy stealth system from FO3.

Mass Effect 1, Morrowind and Oblivion.

Alpha Protocol

Skyrim

I thought SotC had good gameplay, but if not, that's one of mine. I greatly enjoyed Lost Odyssey also. To the Moon was amazing, despite being an adventure title.

Deadly Premonition.

Twin-Blade

Every Zelda game except Skyward Sword. The weak story and pacing in that made the shallow gameplay all the more noticeable.

The problem i have is with the 3 levels of stealth which is hidden/caution/danger. All 3 these have very specific AI behaviour, and it just does not make for compeling stealth gameplay.

The game should have better mechanics like a distract or even an option to re-vanish, if you are found. The whole dungeons knows where you are even though you are in a room with only one enemy.

SotC wasn't special in terms of gameplay mechanics? :? what other game was like it at the time?

Anyway I enjoyed Metro 2033 immensely even though it's shooting and sneaking mechanics can be a bit dodgy at times

Impossible for me to enjoy a game with weak gameplay. Jebus213

This... It's why I play games.

Deadly premonition, terrible controls, repetitive enemies, but it's one of the best games on the 360

Heavy Rain

Oh, i also enjoyed METRO 2033.

It's stealth aspect is pretty mediocre and the shooting dodgy at times, but the atmosphere made up for every single flaw.

I have a PS3. That's how I own SotC/ICO.

The Walking Dead episodes really don't offer much in the gameplay department, mostly you walk around inspecting things and talking to people until the game throws a tough decision your way. I'll be damned if I don't absolutley love it though.getyeryayasout

This too. Gameplay wise they're pretty clunky and bad. Unique but not in a good way to me. But they do offer some great story and dialogue along with choices that matter

Alan Wake

Skyrim

There are lots of games like that.

Mirrors edge
Hitman (a great example of a game that takes advantage of what it has been given)
Left 4 Dead
Fallout 1,2,3 & New Vegas
Saints Row series
Skyrim
Cryostasis
ODST

One game on the flip side of that coin was the first Mercenaries game for me. It was the spiritual successor to GTA2 imo and was for some reason **** loads better than the second, which was completely weak in all regards.

Dude... hitman 4 has some amazing and quite challengeing gameplay if you really get in to it and go for those pro SA runs.
