talk about games you dont like and why

[shinyjiggly]

Recently I found a game for the Sega Genesis at a local used game store called "Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio". I thought that it was going to be like, the Sega counterpart to Mario Paint, since it had Sonic and Tails on the front of the cartridge (Sonic is only present on the main menu as the cursor), but it turned out to be much less than what I expected.

Basically, none of the menus have any words on them and you can go to one of the many "worlds", move around the objects, and paint some of them different colors. That's pretty much it. So far I have yet to find anything in this game that allows you to draw your own sprites or compose your own music (there is a pattern sequencer, but there aren't very many patterns to choose from).
From the looks of it, this game was most likely made for little kids that weren't old enough to play Mortal Kombat at the time. Also, on the front of the cartridge, it says in multicolored build-a-bear font "Sega Club". I have no idea what this Sega Club might have been, but perhaps it's best not to talk about it.

Likely I'll be keeping this mysterious piece of video game history in my collection, but I probably won't be playing it very often. I have yet to explore more than two worlds and the asteroid containing the credits sequence, so likely I may have missed a lot of other content besides the object painter and the pattern sequencer. For now, though, I'd like to say that I officially don't really like this game all that much, due to its lack of content and fine-grain customization.
Then again, I'm probably just being overly-critical as a narrow-minded fool who spent most of their gaming life on Nintendo consoles.

Earthbound is a terrible game because it doesn't have a single hour long cutscene and they had the nerve to not give anny of the characters spiky hair or have them be unknowingly related to royalty.

HomeSUCK sucks because once you complete the game you can't play on, also when you lose you die fo' realz.

Earthbound is so unpolished. When are they gonna add achievements and steam overlays?

I was playing cave story and everything was in korean or something???

I love most everything about Disgaea except the actual act of playing it because it is just a grindhouse. Like, I can handle grinding if it's stuff like Pokemon where grinding isn't normally essential, and grinding still gets stuff like finding the Mons with like 5% appearance rates or other neat things, but in Disgaea you HAVE to grind. I was forced to grind to get past the third battle. Literally the third battle, I could not beat until I did grinding on the first and second battles. And then (I forget if there was a fourth battle between the third and this) I get to the boss and he completely wrecks my shit because I didn't exploit the non-obvious "throw to Geo Stone" strategy or let myself die to get some gun user character on a New Game+ and at that point I just ragequit. I still like looking at Disgaea and at one point considered buying the anime, but there should be some sort of rule in RPGs where you aren't allowed to invoke a steep, grind-requiring difficulty curve until you've given the player a good amount of time to learn how your game is supposed to be played.

Starbound is so shitty. It's not out yet, and it'll probably be fun, but the forum is made up of 12 year olds and idiots.

Oh wait that's not a joke.

[Dentrala]

The best part of this thread is that the percent of people who don't understand it is fairly modest.

I thought exactly like you, it really helped when I transmigrated the first time. Still a fair amount of grinding though since while you can get stronger, you're back to level 1, so yeah, Disgaea is VERY much on the grindy. In fact, since the biggest level is 9999 and you can reach it multiple times, it's not really a game for people who like to get all their main characters max level.

Maybe it is actually a virtual reality?

[unbearableLupin]

Borderlands AND Borderlands 2 are terrible games with WAY TOO MANY GUNS. SERIOUSLY. WHO. NEEDS. A. CUBIC. CRAP-TON. OF. GUNS.

I don't.

[williamcll]

But that's one of the many reasons why people dislike particular video games because they alway say there are never enough kinds of guns, even with MW3 and battlefield 3.

[MobileMammal]

i hate hotline miami because it doesn't have ironsites

[Smashing.exe]

I don't like the Call of Duty series not because of the fanbase, but because it's far too realistic and violent for me.

[Dentrala]

I don't like zelda because it doesn't have enough guns.

[Nameless1]

what the fuck even is this civilization shit and who's the Sid Meier asshole? The dude thinks because he makes one semi-decent game in like the 70's or something he gets to plaster his name all over the /next 4 games?/ Egocentric prick.

On the subject of self righteous assholes who the hell does Tom Clancy think he is? That fucker's a writer, what's his name doing plastered over like 4 different series? First that rainbow six crap? Who wants to play an FPS with RAINBOW in the title? And THEN after getting his name associated with the FPS genre (somehow), we get a flipping STEALTH GAME!? Boooooring, you can't even shoot anyone! I mean sure you have guns and shit but the SECOND you shoot someone the entire terrorist cell somehow manages to ALL run up to you and gun you down! The fuck do we have guns for when shooting get's you killed? And don't even get me started on the concept of "not killing anyone" in those games. Who the hell makes a game about snapping necks if the ultimate goal is to be a pacifist? God the 1st 4 of those were SO stupid! Now BLACKLIST! That's how you make a game. When i have guns and knives and am the best motherfucker to ever be born I'd better be able to use them! I'd be jumping over hurdles and knifing bitches with one hand as I shoot their dumb brains out with the other hand. FINALLY he got it right.

[Cinderthief]

I hate Steam Greenlight.

I click on all these games but I don't get to play them. It's just stupid. Why are they even there?

the people who make the games want to know if they're going to sell them which is SO DUMB because why would anyone make a game and not sell it


how HIGH do you even have to be.

[Nameless1]

And the MODS! My friends keep telling me I should play these "MOD" games with them. So I spend like an hour downloading 1 of these "MOD" games or some shit and I load it up and you need to have a DIFFERENT GAME already in order to play it? It's so dumb! Why would I spend money for a game in order to play an entirely DIFFERENT GAME. Do game makers even think?

[Nyre]

I hate Heavy Rain because it is nothing but one large interactive cinematic. It's like watching a gigantic movie you can control! Except you are an unbelievable dolt and go on exploring areas and elements that have no bearing to the story!! Seriously, all the shallow attempt at depth just clutters the narrative and makes me feel like I'm actually in the world. Besides, there are like, what, three shoot outs in the game? Also, what's up with Norman Jayden's ARI? That piece of trash is futuristic hogwash that has no real practical application. And it's totally fake. Like, there's no way technology can become advanced enough to make that viable. Really the only thing that makes this game even tolerable is the music, which is okay -- but it only has one or two electric bass rhythms so it was pretty lackluster.

Also JAAAASON is the worst meme ever, okay.

[laserdogbad]

ok i dont like the new call of duty
heres why
watch the newest trailer
you think your watching a parody video but no thats actualy how dumb the comerical actualy is

[Hytheter]

Yeah I never got what the big deal was with call of duty
I have MW2 and its like
Just hooting people with guns

WOW HOW REVOLUTIONARY

[Yewili]

Moonbase Alpha. Aside from the text-to-speech, I think everyone knows why.

On the topic of Call of Duty, though, since Black Ops 2 uses "Back in Black" in one of their trailers, now an uncomfortable amount of people think that song is created or solely associated with Call of Duty, which saddens me greatly.

[williamcll]

far too realistic.

What.

[a prickly pear]

desu ex human revolution is such a rip its called human revolution but you're a robot. wtf. its such a hackneed twist
