I'm a completionist, not a min/maxer. The two aren't even close to the same thing. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Glorious moment when you met Tri-Face in Galbadia garden who turned it 100 Drains in stat attack into you hitting yourself for 9999.

Oh and getting levels was only a bad thing anyway, since you'd only grow weaker as you leveled up due to all the enemies leveling along with you. Can't think of one game where enemy scaling is not the most obnoxious thing. For bosses I can understand it, but for every regular enemy, not so much. You feel no sense of progress being lvl10 or lvl99 if the same damn dinosaur requires the same amount of hits and hits for the same percentage of your hp bar. Same as gdi Oblivion where at lvl50 you'd run into nothing but goblin warlords that took like 900 melee hits with maxed longblades max strenght Umbra.

FFXIII was possibly the worst RPG experience I've ever had. Might as well be watching a soap opera.

Seriously corny dialogue and storyline. Hyper-linear gameplay. Lose.

There's endless comedy value in his psychopathic meltdowns.
Have to admit I haven't been keeping up on the gossip, but noticing names in P99 I haven't seen in a month or two.

I played it some, and as much as i don't like pvp, the global pvp was really a lot of fun even being a level 30 and being destroyed by max levels just having some evils come in and try to take over your town and having a bunch of allies come in to defend was a blast. That doesn't exist anymore though, you don't ever need to leave the main city once you reach level 10 and get there its just instant que instant que instant que to max level. instant raid que instant raid que instant raid que.

There is no exploration in wow anymore.

was DDo the one where there were like 10 levels max, and you formed your group in a city got a dungeon quest and entered the instance? like no outdoor zones existed?

I heard a lot of people had high hopes that just were crushed.

Initially, there were 10 levels. The D&D game system was designed based on a 20 level system, then you became "Epic." But later, DDO went up to 25.

But there were outdoor zones.

A few people have said they hated Zelda 2. Which doesn't make sense to me. I mean, by today's standards it's a crappy game. However, back then, it was only 1 of 2 games. So there was no standard style for Legend of Zelda.

They were trying a different style for the gameplay because side scrolling beat em ups were "the thing" at that point. (Faxanadu, Battle for Olympus.. etc)

As far as my five.

5: Dead Island
I don't know where the hype for this game came from. I could understand wanting to try something new, but unlike Zelda 2 in it's prime, there has been a standard for Zombie games. Creators of Dead Island completely deviated from the standard to bring you a action-rpg-morrowind style Zombie killer... and it was balls. Please get your rpg out of my zombie killing.

4:T&C Surf - NES
For serious - I used to have this game as a wee lad and I could not figure out how to fucking surf. As a matter of fact, I went down the street from my office in Middletown Delaware to a little mom-n-pop video game store, and they had TnC Surf. So I picked it up thinking, "Oh, well maybe I just didn't understand how to play it as a child" FUCK NO! This game is stupid hard to comprehend.

3: Resident Evil 4
I hate babysitting games or missions. I hate that I can't move and shoot. I hate the vendor guy. "Whuuddya buyin?" "I'm buyin your mom for the night"

2: The Last of Us
I'm actually playing through this now. The story and graphics aside, this game is shitty when it comes to mechanics. For example, why can't I fight off the clicker things when they attack me? And yet, in a couple cut scenes, Joel does it with no problem. Secondly, the AI is horrible. Whenever you have people following and they say "be quiet!" but then go fucking sprinting down the hall way. Honestly, I played The Last of Us pretty late, and there was a lot of hype built up about how great and polished it was - but when you come to the foundation of it all, the game is shit. Also, if you're trying to make a realistic survival horror, I don't think that health bars should play any role. When I shoot a human (not a zombie) with a revolver in the fucking chest, they should go down - not say "OW DAMN!" and keep shooting.

1: Since people have, already said WoW and FF13 I have to pick something different so I will go with Mass Effect.

This is another of those highly hyped games, but it was shit. I'm a huge fan of bioware, but imo, they fucked up big with this game. It feels so empty and pointless. The way you choose which planet you fly to and survey, it just feels like a glorified stage selection screen. They give you the option to "make choices" but sometimes the dialogue is forced on side quests, which is bullshit. I could understand if it was part of the main mission, but side quests? come on. Also, the whole thing with having to discover different transmission and crash sites on planets is dumb. As far as I know, there is no incentive to do it besides getting an achievement. (Although, I'm sure at the end there is some mega prize which I'm not willing to care about)

I played mass effect for a good while, but I just became extremely disinterested very quickly into my play sessions.

Honorable Mention: L.A Noir.

Oh I can figure out if they are lying by looking at their face? Fuck no I can't.
