Topic: I say bad things about your favorite games!

[Alice in Entropy]

No go. I don't do staples of systems. That's like reviewing Xevious or Pac-Man. The whole world knows about its gameplay and all of its tiny qualities, and the game's radically simple. Gimme another one. And I kinda recall asking for recent titles. Only one I've seen so far was Madworld.

Well, that and it's an undeniable classic.

Earthbound. If that's not recent enough, then hit me with your best shot on Monster Hunter. Any of them.

Ah, LOVED this one. There are some obvious faults to it, though.

- The whole game has a time limit of six hours. Can be completed it much less.
- NO difficulty is shown anywhere in the game, at all, except for the last two bosses and a little bit of the sci-fi level.
- Death's one-hit-kill. >_>
- Bike levels are awesome but are kinda simplistic and boring at times.
- No actual REAL conclusion to the story.

Not to nitpick on your nitpicking, but you forgot to add that the kills and tools you use for killing get a bit repetitive after a while.

Still love this game...what was with that ending though?...

And there was a time limit?

As for recent games, the only one I got would be Red Steel 2...which was a bit of a dissapointment for me.

- Single camera setting with no changes still limits the levels quite alot.
- Collectables in linear platform games required for progression? No-no.
- Game's quite cheap sometimes.
- Played it with a d-pad back then. Frustrating as hell when you're used to an analog stick.
- Why give us a choice on which sub-level to complete when you obviously need to complete all of them to proceed?

I could argue those, but there's no point since they're all true.

What the funk?

I started rolling when I read this. Nice.

The B&W graphics (well, and red for the blood) weren't a bad thing?


Hmm... because I'm curious as to what you said regarding this game on that one topic I made... Kingdom Hearts II

Came out in... 2005 I think. Recent enough?

[Bueno Excelente]

Devil May cry 3

Alright, let's do this.

- Jumping in the DMC series pretty much sucks. You jump straight up, and there isn't much control in it.
- For the coolness of Nevan, it could have plenty more combos.
- Normal mode is hard due to stupid japanese mistake "DOSE WACKI WESTARNS LIKE MOAR DIFICULT GAMEZ"
- Camera angles try my patience.
- Dante looks like a cigarette.
- WHY can we only switch weapons before levels or on statues?

LEGO Indiana Jones I+II.

Thanks for a more recent game, but I didn't play that one, sorry.

Earthbound. If that's not recent enough, then hit me with your best shot on Monster Hunter. Any of them.

Monster Hunter then. I've played Earthbound, but dammit, I want RECENT titles.

- As friggin' manly as it is, the caveman look isn't always stylin'.
- Taking care of the state of weapons is NEVER fun in any game. ANY game, it's kind of a stupid feature, as fragile as they want to make the player.
- Grilling beasties takes a bit of time to get used to.
- MINING AND MORE MINING FOR ITEMS
- Boring longtimes. I wish this game was just the big battles. ;_;

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2

I once bought a DW game on the PS2. From the state of evolution, I'd say the game will continue to last me this far for any kind of DW fix I might have.

You ready? Here we go:

[spoiler]Rise of the Robots and Rise of the Robots 2 : Resurrection[/spoiler]

Never heard of it. Should I?

And since I don't like to quote too much, I LOVED the black and white graphics. Being a hardcore Sin City fan and all. And lemme just go and have a cup of coffee, I'll do one for KH2 in a moment. God knows I can do of that one, I played the JP version, US version, EU version and then I played it about twice more.

[Mirby]

Got it. What's black, white, red, and awesome all over? MadWorld. ^_^

[Bueno Excelente]

Alright, KH2...

- Story-wise, this game basically screwed-up the KH series. Okay, so the bad guys want to... get a heart. That's not evil. And for that, they want us to... kill heartless. Oh that's really evil, ridding the world of heartless and saving the worlds again. Axel turned into a pansy looking for his lover instead of the keikaku master from CoM, and GOOFY is the smart one of the group. GOOFY. Plus, it pretty much has no awesome moments like the ones in KH1. Like the one where Sora gains the keyblade back from Riku, or when he sacrifices himself for Kairi. The story there was so awesome. A little kid thrown into an epic adventure, basically. And they screwed it all up just to make "more drama".
- Double wielding? AWESOME. Only useable in special forms? Screw you, Nomura.
- Cutscenes seem so... out of life and anything. Couldn't they put on a little theme song in most? If not, they coulda just been replaced with text boxes.
- SIMBA CRAWLS IN HIS SKIN AND HIS WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
- I have to grind the forms if I want the cool jumps and dashes? Hell no.

[Mirby]

- SIMBA CRAWLS IN HIS SKIN AND HIS WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL

roflmao

True though. Also this one...
- Camera angles for second boss fight in the Pride Lands? Worse than Mario 64's. And this game is ten years newer than that one.

The rest are all true as well.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Also, did I read correctly that you've never played Donkey Kong Country 2?

[Mirby]

BLASPHEMY!

[Acid]

Never heard of it. Should I?

You could make a thread about it. It's that bad.

[Black Mage J]

(Let him do this one, Nova. I want to see what he thinks, not you.)

You didn't have to worry about my terrible thoughts, I wasn't even there.

LEGO Indiana Jones I+II.

Wasn't the second one just 6 more levels and some more characters thrown in, or did they put in other stories?

[Dexter Dexter]

Gran Turismo 4.

I am a Sega man. I played Nintendo games at friend's houses, but I didn't finish them all, and most stuff I played was later, emulated. Please stop being surprised about this, everyone. I know, I didn't play AMAZINGLY POPULAR games back when they were released, but I played other good and quite popular games that many people nowadays cherish. On with the reviewing!

- Too much scenery, all the same.
- Tries to emulate a Metroidvania without success, should be a straight action game.
- Jumping is VERY annoying, why not use a button?
- Very low number of combos, and you don't get more in the whole game.
- Too many swords, you end up having to switch between them and never really getting VERY used to a single one.


Alright now. Lemme make a review of a few recent titles of my choice, which I loved.

Bayonetta:
- QTEs are rare, but they enter in the worst possible moments. And make you lose a life.
- Whip has few combos.
- Bike level takes a lot of time, so it gets boring.
- Boss design is kinda samey, although cool.
- Space Harrier, the best possible minigame they could ever do has INVERTED CONTROLS. WHY.

Forza 3:
- Too many cars, so little changes.
- For that matter, too little detail on tracks as well. We've seen better than this.
- Tutorial man gets a bit annoying sometimes with what we should and should not do.
- Possibly the most helping game ever for non-followers of the series, but this also means tons of people murdered in online.
- I remember the breaks working alot better in Audis.

Gran Turismo 4.

Sorry, I'm on the Forza side.

They only added the fourth movie with that fridge nuke scene.

I must've missed the Sega man-fan thing back in the thread somewhere, but that's understandable.  I'm just more shocked cause you seem like a adventure/platformer kinda lover. 

And wait, you're a Sega man-gasm but NEVER played Virtual On: Oratonio Tangram, one of their best games ever? Not even in the arcade?   

Haha, but since you're a Sega man-toy, and even though you said recent, how about some Sonic CD lovin?  If not that, thennnnnn how about some Halo: Reach beta!

[Karai]

The World Ends With You.
Metroid Fusion, or Wario Land 4.

[borockman]

How about Bowser's inside story?

[Black Mage J]

Remember, you could also rag on the games too.

[borockman]

Lol but I never played Bowser's inside stories...

I am in PORTUGAL. I get few classically-loved games here, AT ALL, and specially not good arcade titles. And yes, I am an adventure/platformer/action lover. Pretty much every single game that has some sort of plot, as simplistic as it may be, and a set progression, from beginning to the end, with which I go forth with a character, through levels, areas or a world, and do objectives or things in order to reach my final destination.

Sonic CD:
- Time-travel IN-LINEAR-LEVEL-PROGRESSION to get the best ending? Chaos Emeralds were one thing, but call Doctor Who, man.
- Bonus racetrack levels, as good as they were, don't play as well as the previous games'.
- Bosses were awesome-looking, but way too easy.
- Heck, levels were easy.
- Last race against Metal Sonic, I expected him to go a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit faster.

Halo: Reach Beta (I'm not a multiplayer man, but here goes)
- It's the very same Halo with jetpacks.
- Wait, that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
- Now what can I say of bad about a jetpack add-on...
- They are... um... TOO good? Nah...
- Alright, I give up. Oh, I know. BETA HAS NO SINGLEPLAYER MODE SO WE CAN PLAY AROUND WITH SAID JETPACKS. Whew, there.

The World Ends With You.
Metroid Fusion, or Wario Land 4.

TWEWY/It's a Wonderful World
- Incredible story, but time doesn't really serve any purpose, when it could have been used for some awesome gameplay mechanics.
- Certain pins are absolutely useless.
- You have to get rid of your favorite attacks and trade them for new ones sooner or later due to more powerful enemies.
- Rare drops are hard to get.
- Final boss is too damn hard after a steady difficulty.

Metroid Fusion
- A bit slow, Zero Mission fixed that.
- Not as much freedom as the other Metroids.
- Suit is UGLY.
- Having to recover every single enemy's goo gets annoying.
- Unanswered questions.

Wario Land 4
- NOT a worthy successor to Wario Land 2 and 3 BY FAR.
- Sprites much uglier than previous games.
- Why is the life bar back? Wario's been about puzzles for years, not progression.
- All levels have a time race back to the beginning? WHY BACKTRACKING
- Short as heck.
- Minigames really aren't very fun, except for Wario Hop.
- The charm is gone.

Lol but I never played Bowser's inside stories... 

Then someone else take it. My post is pretty damn full at the moment.

[Black Mage J]

Lol but I never played Bowser's inside stories... 

Well not specifically your own game, if you want to you could also talk bad about some other game.

[borockman]

That means I have to wait for someone mentioning a game that I really play.

Which is not a lot.

Say it yourself and nitpick it. We just don't want people filling this with their own nitpickings and not paying any attention to others'. Just have fun.
