Alright folks, I'm a big fan of the "What game are you playing?" thread Decided this might be a good topic to make.
Noooooooooooow before we get on a debate on how UN-awesome this idea is, Hear me out, This thread will be dedicated to those games you WON'T be buying, renting, Even borrowing from anyone anywhere.
Case in point. A good friend of mine paid for KILLZONE 2.
KZ2 Gives you all the frustration poorly made FPS games with twice the lack of gameplay!
You play (this guy) who is this soldier dude running around killing HELLGAST!!! Your partner, Rico, hates the HELLGAST!!!
"So much for sneaking."
When you play it, you automatically get the feeling that you want to play Metal gear style, avoiding enemies and offing them all quick and quiet like. Many a mission you are reminded of the threat these HELLGAST!!!s pose. Yet Rico likes to scream "HELLGAST!!!" alerting these foes to your position.
Due to the absurdity of the game and the ironic varying of difficulty between tasks in the mission, My friend decided to begin pistol whipping his foes rather than shooting them.
Ironically this made the game easier and made the game make more sense.
The final boss, when defeated, left you with a feeling of anticipation as you walk past his corpse... It was difficult in that tricky "lodge a grenade at the platform that your invisible foe runs around on yet does nothing with as you are swarmed by no less than twenty stage foes" kind of way.
In the end:
[spoiler]Rico leaves you wanting to kill him more as he ruins what would be an end to the entire war by offing the commander of the army of the world you are invading causing a whole armada to ship off to earth...[/spoiler]
Needless to say it's a game I won't be playing.
And hence the thread. What games do you want to warn others not to play?

Do not buy "Sonic and the Secret Rings". I bought it at a flea market hearing it was a decent Sonic game this time around. It plays nothing like Sonic, besides the fact you run fast. You can only run in one direction. Tried returning it, but the darn place wouldn't give my money back, just store credit...
If you're a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, this probably goes without saying it, but don't buy "Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007", not because it's outdated, but because unlocking packs without cheating is torture. Certain packs can only be unlocked through challenges, and you can only unlock some packs by S-ranking them. To get an S-rank, you most likely have to do something absurd in 5 turns. For example: "Gather all 5 pieces of Exodia and win the duel." That's actually an easy one compared to others. Also, Konami thought it'd be a brilliant idea to make one of the challenges consist of winning the duel using "Destiny Board", but that's impossible to S-rank, since the fastest you can do that is in 8 turns. Before buying any Yu-Gi-Oh! game, check the ratings, any glitches in the game (card glitches ruin gameplay), how to play, and any online interaction on the game. Chances are, if it doesn't go by the official game rules, it might just be going by on a gimmick and hardly be fun. Card glitches will make some card effects not work or hard to implement. Online interaction so far in the World Championship is a failure, so good luck getting any high ranking online, because everyone will either disconnect when losing (therefore you don't get any points) or cheat.
Downright don't buy "Nightmare Troubadour" for one of the above reasons, it's FULL of glitches.
Unless you're absolutely sure you WANT to play it, I advise you to not buy "Super Paper Mario". The game constantly uses the same gimmick in every stage, and it WILL get boring. By the time you beat the game, if you have that enough patience, you won't desire to play this game anymore. Buy the other two previous Paper Mario titles instead, especially Thousand-Year Old Door.

Me neither, and I actually completed both games.
I mean, you run from point A to point B, but other than that, they were pretty different games. One game had Teamwork gameplay and the other had a hedgehog using guns and giant swords.
It was the same #####, but with guns. But that's just me anyway, since I hated both Heroes and Shadow. Although my hate for Heroes came a little after getting it. Three out of Four of the teams have exactly the same 'levels' (as in, just get to the goal). Only Team Chaotix had something different and even then it was just "find this, find that, kill EVERY enemy in the level, kill all of a certain type of enemy, etc." Either way, I think I'm done with Sonic for a while. You gotta love the Sonic fans though, every time a new #####ty game is released they always say it's gonna be a good game this time or they'll blindly believe it's a good game when it's NOT. I'm almost being serious here though, I thought Sonic for the 360 was actually a bit better than Heroes or Shadow the Hedgehog in some ways, but absolutely horrible in other ways. It felt a BIT more like the Adventure games (although it ended up sucking, but eh.) I would love to know how they managed to ##### that game up so badly though. The homing attack in the Adventure games, hell even Heroes and Shadow, was fine, hell I thought it was near perfect. If you pressed the jump button quickly in those games, you'd quickly hit the next enemy, and the next, etc. In Sonic '06 though, you press that jump button too fast and for some reason Sonic won't "lock on" to the enemy and just go flying off (usually to his death). Seriously, what the #####? ... Oh God I've rambled on too long. Someone help me. |
