What games have you played with great ideas, but very poor execution?

[QUOTE="Saturos3091"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]Since we're naming great games with faults, then I'd like to add Resistance 2. The single player and story were pretty terrible. They surely didn't meet the bar that the prequel set for the franchise. The co-op is its saving grace.lild1425

I don't understand why people are saying GTAIV, Bioshock, and Fallout 3. "Hey let's pick all the worthwhile games and trash them."lild1425

Didn't you know? By stating disdain for popular and successful games, you can fool people into believing you're smarter and cooler than the masses :P :lol:

Sure. I'd add it, but I'm more of a single player guy, and it met and even surpassed my expectations in that department. Not much of a competitive multiplayer guy.

Perfect Dark Zero

They basically took the entire ball of great ideas that made the stellar original so amazing, made it bigger and still found a way to **** it all up.

I mean, I still liked the game but damn, such a let down compared to the original.

Wait, so you mean dialogue like "I'll drop you like a bad conversation" didn't turn you into a PDZ fan?

:lol: No. This is why I want Microsoft to absorb Free Radical (what's left of it anyway) perhaps they'll get at least some of the old talent back and can create the sequel Perfect Dark deserves instead of the prequel it doesn't.The_Game21x

Yeah, Free Radical. I could use a little more "Boosh!" in my Perfect Dark...

Lost Odyssey

- if they paid more attention to the combat system, AAA easily.

Lost Odyssey has an absolutely fantastic combat system, imo. I love the turnbased battles with the ring system. It's underrated to most people here. I would never say it had poor execution, but hey, that's your opinion.

no, i'm not hating the combat system, i just feel, if they gave the combat system a more "innovative feel" to it, the game would've been AAA easily...

but hey, i still think it's one of the two better JRPGs so far this gen, so no hatin'. :P

Why didn't this game have to suck?

It looked so cool. :( I will never forgive you, Spark Unlimited.

Crysis seriously horrible level design and story but it sounded really cool

theres also spore which was fun until you got past creature stage and you had a half assed RTS for the rest of the game

Marc Ecko's Getting Up.

Anyone who has played it will understand what I mean.

Shadowrun kinda qualifies. The idea was great. The execution of that idea (game mechanics and balance) was perfect without exaggeration. However, the content, graphics and other basic stuff weren't done right. It's a great game to play, but it never became really popular.

Still, more fun to play than any call of duty game online.
