[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"]1. Checkpoint races 2. 60 dollar games 3. Crappy manuals. Back in the PS2 days, manuals were good. Now they suck!4. Fanboys 5. Less and less 1st party games.FragTycoon

I just wanted to touch on this a bit.

I hate the first 2-3 pages that tell you how to start a game, operate your controller or what HP is.

1.)

2.) ESRB

5.) Censoring

iyo.. of course.

1. ESRB.
2. Halo 2 -- Yes, it was pretty cool online at the time. But now, thanks to its popularity, the biggest companies are pumping their fortunes into games that follow the same protocol as Halo 2: online MP is the focus, the campaign sucks, you can only hold a few weapons, a serious tone, the military elite, and regenerating health. Examples: Gears of War 1 & 2, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Frontlines, Section 8, Red Faction: Guerilla, The Conduit, and many, many more. No, that outline isn't necessarily bad--until it becomes flooded and generic, which is now the case.
3. Peter Molyneux. How emberassing.
4. Wii. Now everyone has to make a crappy replica.
5. Escort missions. They always suck.

[QUOTE="captain_diego"][QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]Halo was definitely much more influential. There was a time when every house or apartment that I went to had a Halo multiplayer game in progress. It was the first console FPS done right, and it's still the best FPS ever IMO. And this is coming from a PC gamer who was playing first person shooters while most people were playing Nintendo...bronxxbombers

Well everybody has an opinion, so we only use one source for scores

That is a different situation, are you on Esquires site arguing?

This is GameSpot, so we use GS scores. If we could use every site to determine if a game flopped or not, we would never get anywhere

[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"][QUOTE="captain_diego"]unlike Halo, MGS is incredibly influential in the gaming world. that alone should give it an excuse to be milked. if not for the fact that Kojima is incredibly passionate and meticulous about his games. -GeordiLaForge-
