----- do i need to remind you, i dont know but, whatever i write is my opinion.-----

well, i'm kinda annoyed with same topics in ps2 forums. every week someone makes same topics, every week there are these 5 topics like "its a must";

"which Final Fantasy game is the best? "

"what is the best game?"

"what is the worst game?"

"which games are underrated?"

"which games are overrated?"

it seems gamespot admins,mods allow these so i have no right to object, but its still annoying.

i dont post in worst games, overrated games topics, i dont like negative comments for games,there are still people like those games, except Splinter Cell. there is nothing frustrates me like this game when its said great. i wish i had a camera and made a video while playing that game so i would not say same things again and again. so i'll write what i want to say here. i still dont like to say bad things about games so i'll comment on only few games. if it would be about finding bad things about the games, i would find all your favorite games' all negative points and would show it like a trash, but what will i gain with it ? nothing. i want to play games to have fun, to enter new adventures like they are real. i want to enjoy thats all...

first of all, Splinter Cell has no good story, never had. it has the most cliche story and its not even appealing. for me, the most important thing for a game is the story, but if it has a great gameplay i can still accept that game as a great. i still got all of them though because there are not so many games in this genre. i beat 3 games and will beat double agent too, because you can say i'm a game addict, i come home from work and start playing games, mostly ( so i'm like, i have only weekends free : P )

people say its the best stealth game and with that statement, i think that person never played any game other than SC. in SC, there is a stealth meter and whatever it says is true. you can be under lights but if it says dark, its dark and no guard can see you. the game had like only 4-5 dark places, other than those almost all places like walking in daylight, but still in some part game says its dark and it becomes dark, the most idiotic thing in a stealth game. also additional to blind guards, they were deaf too. in some parts of the game, you were jumping and no guard was able to hear you and they didnt have an excuse for this, like they had stealth meter for light. guards were deaf, thats all. like all ubisoft games SC was buggy too, though less than other ubisoft games, but if a metal door sounds like wooden door, i cant say this a bug. so they dont even test their games. i dont want to talk about stiff controllers, if you play it like 2 hours you can get used to it, unlike all other games that makes you comfortable in 15 minutes, still it has good gameplay so i played and beat them.

Splinter Cell was totally disappointing for me at first but i got used to it and accept it as one of the worst titles. but again, honestly not because of these things, its because it has no appealing story and characters. if you rate the game by playing only its beginning ofcourse you can give it a high score...

Splinter Cell and Halo are your average cliche games. i think i said enough comments about SC, so if we talk about Halo. its another cliche story game with average gameplay. watch your old movies, alien, predator etc. play some good fps games on pc and you'll understand how it is. also a character looks like power rangers cant be cool, if you think he is cool, what can i say ? i dont want to comment on Halo much, there was not good games on xbox and halo became savior but on pc, its just average.

nevermind those 2 games, the real game i want to say overrated game is Suikoden 3. i didnt give the lowest score for it but its the worst rpg game i've played. no game made me disappointed like Suikoden 3, it was really huge disappointment. i liked the first suikoden and when i saw it had 9.1 from GS, i had high hopes for it, but what did i find ? the worst rpg game. even Grandia 3 had very cliche story, it had one of the best battle systems for a rpg, some nice characters and great 3d anime visuals, so i can say its good game. but Suikoden 3...so what is the reason to say that ? lets see;

first of all, i like animes and the intro was amazing. it really was so good, i started to think " wow this game will be good ". so the game started, firstly it wants you to enter your Fire Champion's name, then a screen comes and lets you choose one of three main characters, Hugo, Chris, Geddoe, to start to see their journeys. i started with Hugo and with Hugo's intro, i started to believe its a good game. before i started to play it returned to character choosing screen again, but Hugo had now "chapter 1" text on him. this is called Trinity Sight system, lets you see the events from different people's views, you play one chapter with one character and return to character screen ( until you choos Fire Champion ) so i chose Geddoe this time, it was shorter than Hugo's and returned to character screen again. so before starting chapters i chose Chris too. it started with Chris and Zexen Knights' entrance to town, it was nice video until, i had the control over Chris. all characters were looking nice but when i started playing, i started to be annoyed, because your characters move like robots. especially Chris, in her armor, moves exactly like robot. even 3po was moving better in Star Wars. i really couldnt believe a ps2 game in 2002 ( look at other games in 2002 or even 2001 releases ) can have so bad character animations like this. its definitely the worst, there is not a comparison for this game. while all characters look cute, they move like robots and in videos they have that spastic head move so often which is really annoying. that can be cute for characters like Cecile, may be, but its really dumb if you ask me. i'm a big anime fan and i've never been annoyed this much. if you can overcome these, you'll see cute designed characters and might even enjoy.

secondly and the biggest problem is the gameplay. you cant control your characters with analog stick, they stop moving in some areas and you go mad after trying and trying to move them, especially in Zexen forest. so you return to use d-pad like early ps1 games. so we got used to d-pad again, it was not big deal, lets continue with Battle System. there is no tutorial in this game, i'm really surprised when i didnt see any because game starts fast, with hard battles. battle system of Suikoden was controlling 6 characters differently but now they made a huge mistake by grouping those 6 characters 2 by 2. so you have 3 groups, total 6 characters max. is this a problem ? yes it is very big problem because you give 1 order to 2 people which kills everything in battle system. does it add strategy ? definitely not, because when you want to use a healing item you waste 2 people 1 of them attacks 1 of them heals, so you attack every time because of this meaningless system. when you want to use magic, 1 character use magic other one attacks. also instead of having mana you have 6,9 rights to use magic wtihout resting in a inn. for a magic fan like me, its another terrible thing, but more than that, they are mostly useless, useful ones are 1 time use only. also there is positioning problem but you dont understand that fact until you encounter 2 rows enemies and choose the enemy behind. your character sometimes walks around the whole area but still cant attack the enemy you want. another thing that is done so bad

i said you have hard battles at the beginning, but if you get 1 level for your all party members everything changes and the game becomes so easy. the game is really unbalanced, you cant start the game without leveling up, because you die quickly. but when you get 1 level, while getting 1 level you get skill points and use them, everything becomes piece of cake. there are some boss fights and when you use your best magic and 2 combos, you win. so boss fights take less than 3 minutes. all you have to do, get 1 level for all members in the party and spend your skills points on right skills.

in battles, your character animations are bad too, still moving like robots, there is no appealing magic casts, and mostly magics are useless. so the game becomes really pain because in a rpg game you fight more than any action game, a rpg takes more hours than any action game, though suikoden 3 is not so big. also there is terrible camera problem. sometimes you cant even see yourself.

the game has trinity sight system that allows you to see the events from different people's views and explain the story better. its nice, but the story is not something so great. if you play like me, 1 chapter with 1 character until a chapter is finished with all characters, you'll see everything in chapter 1. its about war and some conspiracies also classic Suikoden part (if you have suikoden 2 save on memory card, you can see additional videos ). but its all clear at the beginning. personally i got it after only playing hugo part, but when i played geddoe chapter 1 lastly ( i played chapter 1 with hugo, chris, geddoe order ), it completed everything, i'm not surprised.

Suikoden 3 started with amazing intro and i was fascinated, but it didnt continue too long and now i can easily say Suikoden 3 is the worst rpg i've ever played.

lastly i want to touch Dragon Quest VIII. its great game, i've beaten it 2 times (second one is not from start) to see the second ending. but its not something so great. its old school, it is really great to play a game like old times, but its too much old school. the story is so simple, random encounters are too often ( i bet even FF1 didnt have battles this often, i dont remember now though ), some musics are so annoying like it can kill all great musics with 1 touch and it becomes boring so fast. it has nice characters, yangus is always fun to watch, nice animations especially enemy animations in battles, it has really relaxing environment, nice visuals and musics mostly, but broken. boss battles are testing your endurance, you have limited items, though i didnt use any until the last boss. they are not hard, i didnt try to beat a boss more than 3 times ( last boss is at 3rd and jessica was in second try ( i dont count dhoulmagus because he transforms )) but annoying and boring. magics are useless and they are not good looking. especially after playing Grandia 3, which has one of the best battle systems, Dragon Quest VIII's moves were so dull.

i definitely dont put Dragon Quest in bad game category, not even in good game category, its great game, the point i want to say is, its not excellent or greatest like everyone hypes.

lastly again, seeing same topics again and again is kinda annoying. are you enjoying when you see same topics next week again ? it seems so

( if i made any mistakes in my text, grammar or spelling, i'm sorry, please warn me about it )
