What's your absolute favorite game this gen? Now say something negative about it

NieR

Unless you don't have eyes(or ears with how much people complain) the negative thing is "teh" graphics.:P

[QUOTE="Blazdav"]Bioshock - Flaws? Naaaaah.Cherokee_Jack

Oh man... that was so disappointing... and typical :(

halo 3, the story was very forgettable, I don't even know the main characters name

Uncharted 2, Chloes Voice

Uncharted 2, Chloes Voice

I'll just say a few of my favorite games.

Knights in the Nightmare: Can be diffcult to learn, and alot to pay attention to.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories: very short, and not as scary as it could have been.

SMG2: Better camera control would have helped greatly reduce frustration in a few spots.

Dragon Quest IX: Stella. That's all I need to say. Also, some of the quests can be quite ridiculous to beat.

Darksiders: Short and more linear than I would have liked.

This generation had no game that really drew me into it's multiplayer and spent hour's with like last generation. call of duty/battlefield/halo game's get boring really fast.YOYOigotAfro

I really liked L4D 1/2, Killing Floor, and TF2. I also played a lot of LoL, and will probably play Dota 2 at some point.

Though I actually probably played Halo 3 the most of any current generation game, and I also played quite a bit of Battlefield Bad Company 2. I no longer play either game though.

Mass Effect - Not really long enough, needs to be at least another 1000000000000000 hours.

- Mind Numbingly easy combat on normal difficulty, hardest difficulty is even easier (Never tried locked difficulty was not replaying that game)

- Stale story/characters (the doc and garren were cool as hell. But, scuba mask people, blue aliens, and ashley the most fugly girl ever concieved this gen, and nearly everybody else more than make up for it.) (Wrex's race is alright too, i forgot him.)

- No plot developement whatsoever. Seriously, in ME2 especially. 2 events happen in the entire story, ridiculous.

- horrible RPG elements/customization

-No real story impacting/ethical choices can be made (save for purposely letting bad things happen to annoying characters.)

- Everyones favorite moment in ME1, The ashley and ken(I forget his name) sacrifice part. Could not care any less about either of them, sooooo bland.

- Tank levels on barren planets sucked/Getting resources on barren planets sucked. Enviroments are reused in both games consistantly although 2 is much better than one in that regard.

I'm sorry I just don't understand the unwarranted respect this game gets. Bioware makes pathetic, uninteresting stories. League of legends even has better lore, and that game sucks too. Maybe I'm just an angry Kotor fan tho. I understand that you ME fans love the game for the miranda sexing part, but please have some self-respect.

Ive got 2 actually.

Dragon Age Orgins: Like all Bioware games, EXTREMELY unpolished,and the LOAD Times....

Metal Gear Solid 4: It ends :(

seriously though, some peope (mainly newcomers) might not understand the story

Metal Gear Solid 4 is in desparate need of an Americananyways editor.

ActionRemix

care to elaborate?

anyways I'm not sure what my favorite game is, so I'll just pick God of War 3.

The game goes way down hill once you find Pandora also wish ithad more enemy types

Super Mario Galaxy 2

The Grand Master Galaxy didn't have Green stars in it...that made me sad :cry:

Assassin's Creed II. : The combat is way too easy. But IMO, it's not an issue as combat is not the focus of that game.

Ive got 2 actually.

Dragon Age Orgins: Like all Bioware games, EXTREMELY unpolished,and the LOAD Times....

Bioshock. Unreal engine 3. Such an ugly engine.silversix_

Fallout 3/NV - Dem glitches

Valkyria Chronicles - AI is just incredibly stupid at times, the enemy using 3 turns to send 3 scouts in a suicide run directly in the line of sight of my tank for example.

Mass Effect 2 - Wish it would last longer

[QUOTE="FollowY0urBliss"][QUOTE="FollowY0urBliss"] I didn't think Bio1 or 2 used Unreal 3? I thought they used an evolved version of Unreal 2, with Bio Infinite being the first to use unreal 3?soulitane

Not sure what my favorite game is for this gen. It could possibly be Crysis or Half-Life 2, but I'll go with my most played game since last year, BF:BC2. Biggest flaw... I guess would be the hit detection isn't the best.

SMG2. I have a hard time finding any real negatives, but if I had to nitpick I'd say there are rare occasions were its a bit difficult to judge distance. Its really only an issue in those parts that lock the camera into a side scroller perspective, but still allow the player full 3d navigation instead of locking out the z axis.

ME2. Beyond stupid side-quests. Discovering if it's fish? Really???IronBass

Batman Arkham Asylum.

Boss battles with the big injected guys got repetitive.

The battles with the proper Batman villains were great though.

Call of Duty: Black Ops. Everybody hates it (for just the sake of hating it).

Fallout 3 and Vegas , i love those games (have 200+hours playtime on each) but that damn pieces of crap freeze every 1-2 hours of gameplay :D

Batman AA: not much replay value

Valkyria Chronicles: very cheesy dialogue, missing a shot you really needed can be infuriating

Fire Emblem RD: Ike lost a lot of his character from PoR, support conversations went from actual character development to stupid copy/paste greetings and responses

Borderlands: kinda shallow and empty

Monster Hunter Tri: desire sensor, not much to do once you get endgame weapons/armor

Starcraft 2

Consumes too much time if you want to keep yourself in competetive shape (thats why I stopped playing it after almost a year of laddering.

Positive... HALO CEA. :D

Negative... It's not out yet. :cry:

:P

I can't say anything bad about Uncharted 2! :o

Perhaps I've thought some other game is of higher quality, but this is the one I've been playing - and enjoying I suppose - the most.

There are many things wrong with it. Here are some that come to mind.

• The knife.
  It is an absolut crapshoot. Any time you aim to use it you'll be holding your breath hoping you won't get ****ed over by the horrendous random flakiness of it. I've had everything happen. I've gotten shot dead after I've stabbed the guy in the face, I've whiffed when I'm standing right next to the guy, I've stabbed a guy who was running away five meters in front of me, I've turned around to witness another player stabbing me in the face, missing, and then stabbing him in the face.
  
  I've lost count of how many minirages I've had over this glitchy ****ing *****ole thing.
  
  
• Hit detection.
  It has been scientifically proven to be garbage. All those times when you've been shot at, and die just as you run behind cover? That's because of BC2's hit boxes lagging behind the player model. You're getting killed by the enemy missing you and shooting the air behind you.
  
  
• The campaign is really, really dull.
  Don't know if this requires an elaboration. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but there's nothing appealing about the design and structure of it. It's Call of Duty without the drama and spectacle. The one thing it's got is character, which is sadly pushed to the wayside. Along with the more open nature of the campaign in the first game, which to my memory only comes to surface during the one tank mission.
  
  
• Helicopters.
  Perhaps a problem partially inherent to Rush mode, helicopters can be such dicks. A Black Hawk can hover far, far away in the distance and just bob up and down to evade all rockets. Tracers are absolutely useless as they'll just drop flares to rinse it off. For almost all intents and purposes they are invincible. Only thing they really have to worry about is the occasional MG fire.
  
  Attack helicopters will circle around you at 500mph, near impossible to hit, unless you manage to place yourself just on the outside radius of its flight path, in which case you've got a slim chance of hitting it with a rocket. The only proper countermeasure is AA guns. Something only one person can use at a time, and takes what, 45 seconds to respawn? At the same location all the time. Lit up on the pilot's HUD.
  
  And finally, the absolutely by far most annoying part about the ****ers. If you manage to hit the thing with a rocket like some god damn jedi, you'll scream of joy and start doing a celebratory victory dance, *RECORD SCRATCH*, pilots bail out and sail down to safety. It's the worst. It's so bad.
  
  
• EA
  An online pass which removes content from the game. For those who buy the game new, I should add. Then their PR constantly kept harping on about how these were free maps. Awesome.
  
  
• Servers/connections
  A couple of weeks ago EA Online would be down for long periods of times, sporadically, for at least a week. During this time the servers were also extremely bad at doing their job when I did manage to connect.
  Perhaps this is because matchmaking is connecting me to servers on the moon, but I often experience lag. You'll get moments, perhaps ten seconds, where you'll be running and notice you're getting pulled back. And occasionally when you're zoomed in with an MG you'll get pulled out of the zoom, completely messing up your aim. Etc.

Tales of Vesperia

The single player story doesn't go on forever. I have to stop playing at some point.

• Oh and getting stuck on ****. The most fun one is when you get stuck between a rock and a tree and can only stand there and vibrate until you decide to end your misery.

• Nitpicky, but stupid chainlink fences are annoying too. Can't shoot tracers through them. And quite bothersome when you're fired upon, sidestep to take cover behind something, and that damned thing is blocking your path and you get dead. So basically I feel forced to make it a point to slice those things away around wherever I happen to be.
  
  What purpose do they serve? Seriously? You can't hide or take cover behind them. They do the above, and potentially impede attackers for up to a mighty two seconds.

Demon's Souls: Horrible graphics, not enough variety when it comes to level design.

RDR: The ending is absolutely dumb.

That's 2 games but what the hell.

Damn man, lol.
You sure this is your favorite game this gen ?

Bioshock.

Ending boss fight and ending in general were not as good as the events leading up to them.

Though choice but

Valkyria Chronicles -- story could have been better

Persona 4 -- Dungeons got too repetitive sometimes

MGS4 -- could have been longer

Supreme Commander : Forged Alliance

Too CPU-intensive when it released, and the steep learning curve made for a limited community. A pity, since it's the best RTS I've ever played. Though there are still people playing it, it didn't get the success it deserved. Therefore the sequel, Supcom 2, "streamlined" the concept to try to grab a bigger audience and killed the game.

GTA 4 - The health meter is a problem for me :)

COD 4 - Its COD :P, short campaign.

I have 2 favorite games this gen, i'm sorry, i truly can't decide between Super Mario Galaxy and Bayonetta.

Super Mario Galaxy:

The Spring suit was frustrating and not that fun.

Some of the Stars were extremely hard to get.

The flying wasn't very responsive...or perhaps i didn't learn how yo use it properly.

Bayonetta:

The camera can get in your way more than once and in the worst possible moment.

In the hardest settings, the game gets extremely unforgiven.

Not being able to fight the last battle gainst Jeanne without having to pass the missile part.

But at the end of the day, i love this games to death, this are nothing but minor things.
