There was a thread like this in /anime/ and, although it seems to have died from lack of interest, I liked it. Let's try it here.
For instance, assuming >>0's favorite is THE GAME: What fun is a game that can't be won? Also, you just lost it.
My favorite: Metal Gear Solid 3
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
A glaring flaw in the Dungeon Keeper game is that it's too perfect.
Aquaria.
Singing doens't solve anyone's problems - otherwise Britney Spears would have all her hair and would be a model parent.
Dokapon Kingdom
Japanese.
Left 4 Dead (Demo, lol)
Let's force people to play online with random strangers, thus destroying the incentive for anyone to host servers that don't blow chunks!
Team Fortress 2
lack of pro techniques that make tfc awesome
Wind Waker
If Link's portrait from all of the games in the series were placed along an evolutionary timeline, Wind Waker would be seen as an abomnation.
Starcraft.
Goddamn zerg rushes.
Capacom vs SNK 2
Because it's not Capcom vs /Marvel/ 2
Persona 3
I believe a VGCats guest comic said it best...
"No really! at night everyone turns into coffins and it's up to me to protect their souls by shooting myself in the head!"
Ragnarok Online
I cannot correctly pronounce 'Mjolnir'.
Deus Ex
Naming a game after a theatrical saying about plot holes is no way to go through life, son.
Mother 3
Useless dog.
Dynasty Warriors 3
It's a Dynasty Warriors game, for christ's sake. Gundam didn't halp the franchise, what's next, MEGAMAN!? I will say this for it though... It wasn't Dynasty Warriors 5. Zhang-He's ending was... Making all his effeminate warriors dance all night in homage to him?
Disgaea
Final Fantasy Tactics rip-off.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Ogre Battle rip-off.
Ogre Battle
Poor battle AI made the battles frustrating to watch, side stories only unlockable by wandering over completely out of the way areas of the map and finicky event triggers. one or two more training missions would have been nice.
A Boy and his Blob
Eventual sex does not happen.
Counter Strike
You get shot in the head once and get to sit there and watch your friends have all the fun.
Day of Defeat
Boring, sub par WWII clone.
Dragon Warrior Monsters
Gotta catch 'em all! Go, Roostor! Attack his Lambtron!
Ragnarok Online
Balance? What balance? At least I can pronounce "Mjolnir."
Advance Wars
Menu? I think I'll press start! no, wait, it was B wasn't it?
The World Ends With You
Oh shi- I'm wearing all the wrong clothes for this place! no wonder I'm getting my ass kicked!
Final Fantasy Legend
Legend of Zelda remake, only better.
Legend of Zelda
Generic fantasy shit.
Second Life
More like Failed Life
i wanna be the guy
Copyright infringement up the wazoo.
Odin Sphere
Come for the art! Stay for the... uh... Art! Woah woah! Wait! Where are you going...
Starsiege: Tribes
Jump from tower A to tower B. Repeat.
Left 4 Dead.
It's by Valve.
Shiren the Wanderer
It's a Mystery Dungeon game - Instead of making them better, or more complex, they get pallet switches. Also, the only wanderer worth mentioning is Wander from Showdow of the Colossus. Also the cover art sucks. so far we're at -3/10.
Chaos Legion
I dunno - was this intentional? If the whole "you messed with my love" thing is supposed to be a plot twist, it sure as hell wasn't. saw that coming from the opening fmv. Also, GRIND GRIND - oh, did you think that all the enemies were gone? BLAMS here's another screenful.
Romancing Saga - Minstrel Song
Oh a game by Square, I liked Final Fantasy.... Plays any SaGa game "What the fuck is this shit?"
Lumines
Shitty Tetris Clone
Final Fantasy 1 (any version)
Yay! I got the [whatever], now I just have to... what do I have to do, again? Was there a point to this? I guess I'll just fly around and talk to everyone... again. I really wish I hadn't made an all blackbelt group!
Eternal Sonata
I haven't played Eternal Sonata, but I just want to say an all blackbelt group is fucking hilarious. Killed Chaos in one turn.
I guess I'll say Eternal Sonata sucks cause all the characters are named after music.
Bringandine
HEXES
Folklore
Damn journalists.
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Damn white suits.
Top Gear
inferior gear game.
guilty gear
Just another button mashing game.
Phantom Dust
Xbox.
Ar Tonelico 2
ugly graphics and cheap you'd think it was made by rpgmaker
Tales of the abyss
Never heard of it, so it sucks.
Final Fantasy VII
Overhyped, fucking "omg i'm cool but i don't really do much more" villain, had not that much for it except the materia system.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
metroidvanias that aren't cave story are boring as shit
mars matrix
puhLEEZE. Topdown shooters are for quarter junkies.
Illusions of Gaia
I've never fucking heard of it, that means it doesn't matter.
Cave Story
2D games are so '90s.
Ken's Labrynth
Ken's Labyrinth.
really?
Ken's fucking Labyrinth???
okay fine. It's too freakin huge. on the ?plus? side, they made it playable on current operating systems.
Terranigma
Guilty Gear XX-2
> Terranigma
It was too good for America.
> Guilty Gear XX-2
Another one? When are they going to convict the damn gears and lock them up in maximum security?
Commander Keen in Aliens Ate My Babysitter!
Hated that fucking pogo stick. And making Jump puzzles with it, gah!
Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra
Might and Magic? More like Blight and Headtick!
Herzog Zwei
Herzog Zwei? Nah!
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Huge Demonic Babies, 48 levels of the same thing. Also, Fester's Quest-alike if you ask me.
Tales of Symphonia
Beat em up battle system, bash bash bash..oh where you are turned base?
Assassin Blue
despite how good it might be, it just seems too amateurish on the outside for me to bother playing it.
Super Swing Golf
It's not Hot Shots/ Minna no Golf
Yoshi's Island
WAAAA WAAA WAAA WAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door
It's not the original.
Gokujou Parodius
it's not fair that the only good side scrolling shooters don't take themselves seriously.
Dragon Quest
Ye Olde Englishe
Devil May Cry
Those fucking stairs.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 + Knuckles
Furries
Nethack
If you drink from the {, you will die.
Homeworld
You were either godlike from the start with like 20 stolen ion cannons following you around all-game, or every mission devastated your units and you're left with nothing. It's kinda weird when the salvage corvette is the best unit.
Beyond Good and Evil
Plot sucks
Halo 3
Cool game, bro
Katamari Damashi
Wow, rolling shit around sure is fun.
Killer7
Master, We're really in a bind now! <- having to wait through that intro a million times gets real annoying.
Phantasy Star IV
It's a fugly piece of shit.
Gunstar Heroes
Hur dur liked it better when it was called Metal Slug (Hard for me to criticize Gunstar Heroes)
R-Type III
Shit story progression.
Streets of Rage II
Could never find chicken when I needed it.
Baldur's Gate II
I could never get that damn game to work.
XIII
No sequel
Resident Evil 5 (demo or for the thievin:p pirates,the game:)
it's just like resident evil 4 EXCEPT WITH BLACK PEOPLE.
fear 2
it's just like FEAR except, oh wait no, it's just like FEAR. Shoot things, wander around the same rooms, see creepy (hopefully you're looking where you're supposed to!), repeat.
Yumi Nikki
Generic RPG Maker game with horrible design and no direction.
Shadow of the Colossus
>>182
I liked that shit better when it was called Alien Soldier
Sexy Parodius
Too awesome for foreign release.
Lumines
Kinda screwed if you dislike the music
Out of this world
The re-release costs money.
Oddworld: Abe's Odysee
fuckin awesome, i cant think of anything negative about that game
.hack series
Fucking horrible, i can't think of anything positive about that game.
GTA Chinatown Wars
>>188
Rehash of a rehash of a rehash of a rehash...
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
Like most JRPGs, looks great, advertised as "unique", plays like shit and the most corny dialogue ever
Sky Odyssey
>>190
I hope you realize I was joking.
Also, I liked that shit better when it was called Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Speaking of which, Skies of Arcadia
>>191 that game was awsome! my favorites are a toss up between thief deadly shadows and the chronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay. and the new riddick dark Athena looks to be sweet too.
>>194 dont you mean The story of thor? LOL no
Star Parodier
>>195 didn't I say that it's unfair all the good shooters aren't even taking themselves seriously???
Summon Night: Swordcraft story
>>196
The first one sucked compared to the second. Hell, Sugar didn't even give the guy main any loving whatsoever.
Speaking of which, Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2
<Aside> One might say thst Sugar didn't give him any Sugar </Aside>
canned laughter
At least in the first one, there was no nonsense keeping you from gameplay. Now it seems like the game does everything in its power to keep you from playing efficiently. That being said, Dinah is 10x better than Sugar.
FFFables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
