Prince of Persia ( 2008 )

Excellent art direction, but the game basically held your hand the entire way.

Someone will try to be cute and say Crysis. Calling that now. Anyway, maybe Shattered Horizon. Its not horrible, far from it, but the graphics are better than the game itself, if you get the drift.

define "really good graphics". there are several games that have good graphics, but are just flat out bad. however, i have yet to play a "graphics king" that didn't have at least playable gameplay.

Some may disagree with but Fay Cry 2 was pretty bad. Great visuals though.

Army of Two's visuals weren't too bad either. However, the game is bad

lol is it illegal to say Crysis now? The story was taken from some old game "Alien comes and we got to save the planet...." And the only thing cool about it was the graphic, the story wasen't that good at all, and the game was overated. :/

Far Cry 2 was a good game, it was fun and the story was great, but it's really boring after.

Your only point was the story. Realize for a moment you're talking about an FPS. Now, try again.

Eh, I didn't like it very much. I know some people did like it so I figured somebody would disagree with me

*high five*

Yes it was. I had a lot of fun with it. Its a shame there's never going to be a sequel, considering the ending practically demands one. And just imagine what it would have been like on new tech :cry:

Your only point was the story. Realize for a moment you're talking about an FPS. Now, try again.

Can FPSes not have good stories now?... I don't get why people lower their expectations based on generalizations like that... I didn't think Crysis or Killzone or so forth were that great, partly because their stories were indeed lame. A game with great graphics but poor gameplay would be Prince of Persia 2008 in my opinion. The repetitive fights, the banal encounters were bad enough, but the actual platforming played itself -- all flash, no substance.

The focus of the game isn't the story though. Its like saying you hated a Mario game because the story wasn't good. Its just not something you judge games like this on. If the game was TRYING to focus on story, it'd be a legitimate point. Its not.

The main focuses of an FPS should be game play first, and graphics a close second. Stories in an FPS almost always fly over people's heads anyway, because it always boils down to you just shooting whoever isn't on your team.

GT have a story section if i am not wrong, did you see what they did with galaxy they classified it as a 7.5 lol then disregarded it on the final score. Some wii games have awesome stories, LKS is a game that popes up as an example as to why people should have a wii if they have high regards for games with deep messages and a good story.

Because why need 3D when you have 2D, right? Pretty sure TC meant LEGITIMATELY BAD games, like Lair.

I am a cow and a hermit, but some people do not like them. Just like how some people think halo is a generic shooter or forza franchise isn't good.
