Top 7 Games you either hated or loved

[AntiThesis]

GamesRadar has popped off one of their "Top x" articles and this time I actually agree with quite a bit of it. The list includes Assassin's creed, GH: Rock Band, Pokemon and Halo (My god how I hated that game Single Player).

Check it out: GamesRadar: Top 7 games you love or hate (http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-top-7-games-you-either-love-or-hate/a-2009031610571227079).

What do you hate or love? For me it's always been Myst. I hate the hell out it. Really.

edit: GamesRadar has an unfortunate habit of using popups. Deploy blockers to starboard!

Totally agree with Assassin's Creed. Nothing more than a repetitive tech demo.

Guitar Hero is also a good one to debate. Personally I can't be bothered with the watered-down mechanics and the plasticky guitar, but maybe therein lies the appeal: it's simple enough for even non-gamers to easily get into.

LOL @ Myst though. I remember wondering what the hell people ever saw in that POS :D

[Maplassie]

Being a m03rse Half-Life Fan, I "hated" Half-life 2. I really never knew what ppl saw in it. Episode 1 was a tad bit better but Eppy 2 was just plain AWESOME!

I am currently replaying Half-life 2 since I got my Orange Box during the weekend. Still don't see what anybody saw in it.

The first bits were awesome, in City 17, but Ravenholm, the caves and tunnels, those levels really killed the game for me. Also the waterbike thing, and all the driving. BLEH.

[Dragonic]

Assasin's Creed: Hate(was really boring)
Guitar Hero: Never played
Killzone: Its on PS3
Dead Rising: Its on Xbox 360
Pokemon: I love it, but won't say I'll play it over and over though
Space Giraffe: WTF?
Halo: Played only the first one a bit(PC of course), was OK.

[Blaze786]

Diablo 2 [Loved]
FEAR 2 [Loved]
Warcraft 3 [Loved]
COD 2 + 4 [Loved]
CSS [Loved]
Halo 3 [Loved]
Gears of War [Loved]

[Eniigma]

I enjoyed Assassin's creed at first, I hated the whole modern DNA dream retrieval or whatever you call it aspect of it right from the start. I just wanted to get to the ninja assassin dude. Once I started that I got over it pretty soon to. Everything became super repetitive and the marathon cut scenes at every assassination became a snore fest.

I have not played any of the other games on the list, so I'll go with the fact that I probably won't like any of them, except for maybe Halo or Killzone.

[AntiThesis]

You know, thinking about it - I really, really hated Halo. The multiplayer was absolutely fantastic - loved the hell out of it.

But the single player? Eish.

Run down this corridor. Then run back. Then run down this identical corridor and run back again. Go back to first corridor, run back.

AARGH

I loved Day of The Tentacle and HATED... wait... i don't play games I don't like.... so no, I don't hate anything

[DarthCat]

I cant see list because I'm capped :(

[Dan]

DOTT ftw! Come to think of it, I loved almost every one of those quest/adventure games. I think I must have played every one of the Police Quest/Space Quest/Monkey Island/Larry's/etc. etc. games when I was a young 'un.

[AntiThesis]

Man I loved those games! DOTT was a great game as were all the {insert word} Quest games.

They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

It's all "Go collect 14 rabbit tails" and so on.

The most awesome and most useless in-game-sidekick has to be Murray the Skull from the Monkey Island™ series.

[Mephisto_Helix]

LMFAO @ Space Giraffe ....... lemme join Dragonic in saying WTF :D

[AntiThesis]

Kyrandia was an awesome game. Oh the memories.

[phoenix]

A little venting of the spleen:

Final Fantasy X may be one of the highest-rated games I disliked. I blame the random encounter system for that.

For God of War, I realised within minutes of starting the game that it was intended for nimbler fingers than my own.

So far as some of the more recent Command and Conquer games are concerned, I find the cut scenes more entertaining than the game itself. It....er.....just lacks that something which has attracted me to Dawn of War.

I haven't enjoyed a Need for Speed game since the release of Need for Speed II SE.
I'll take the McLaren F1 thank you.

Titan Quest.Pretty, but that's about it.The CRPG equivalent of a bimbo.I went back to Dungeon Siege after giving up on this until I lost interest in that too. I am like that with action-rpgs. I daresay that I might have something uncomplementary to say about Diablo some day.
/Ducks inbound fireballs.

[Dohc-WP]

worst game Ever is Bad Boys 2 ! Period !

[AntiThesis]

Oh god Dungeon Siege was awesomely terrible. I loved it right up until the ending.

The text based ending.

[phoenix]

I give no justification for enjoying the following:

While no game may be without its faults, these were good enough for me.

Fable
Neverwinter Nights
Arcanum
Jazz Jackrabbit [I kid you not]
Peggle [No, seriously]
Velnor's Lair on the ZX Spectrum
Dungeon Keeper 2
The Sims :D
Primal [PS2]
Seventh Legion
Undying
Quest for Glory
Wing Commander IV and Wing Commander Prophecy

I'll save the rest for another time.

[AntiThesis]

Jazz rocked and so did Wing Commander.

The sims may get you lynched though :D

[phoenix]

I stand by my preferences. ;)

[Voicy]

The sims may get you lynched though :D

He listed Fable as well as Jazz Jackrabbit *The SA made game* which gives him immunity to being kicked in the panty this time around :D

[AntiThesis]

That's fine phoenix - I admire people who stick to their opinions. Even if they're wrong :D

[phoenix]

Voicy:That would be Toxic Bunny

/Steels himself for a good kicking.

De gustibus non es disputandem :D

[AntiThesis]

I've remembered that I hated Neverwinter as well. Horrible game.

But I did like Morrowind - not because it was a good game or anything but because of the sheer size.

[phoenix]

Sap that I am, I got a lump in my throat at the end of Act 1, where Aribeth's suitor is unmasked as a traitor and hanged.

[Voicy]

Voicy:That would be Toxic Bunny

/Steels himself for a good kicking.

De gustibus non es disputandem :D

Crumbs you're right !!!

My apologies for mixing up the two. I remember playing them around the time of the 1st Earth Worm Jim titles... after the Commander Keens, Bio-Menaces, Monster bashes , Duke Nukem 1&2 etc.

[phoenix]

Apologies accepted, provided you take off your steel-capped boots before administering the kicking.

Most Loved

1. Street Fighter 2 (Its almost 20 years old and still played by millions of people around the world, it also acted as the main inspiration for ssf2t HD and SF IV

2. Super Mario the 1st and best platformer I have ever played back in the day !

3. Half Life. This game pushed my 133 pentium to its limits back in 98 and those headcraps :D ! this game was truly ahead of its time storywise.

4. NFS III Hot Pursuit ! The Cops were the main attraction and the GFX was super sweet back in 98. Still playing it up 2 this day ! :cool:

5. NFS Porsche Unleased ! another NFS game ahead of its time with realistic handling and awesome tracks and GFX. maybe shift will surpass it as the ultimate Sim NFS !

6. Goldeneye 007 ! it is still rated as the No.1 FPS shooter in the world so Nuff Said !! :cool:

7. Soul Edge ! Still one of my Fav games ! The main reason I got a ps1 back in the day ! Who didnt wanna play with cervantes ? :cool:

I dont have 7 games I hate only 5

I've seen a few things about people hating Pro Street, but I don't get why. I am playing it at the moment and rather enjoying it. Granted I've only had my xbox since the beginning of the month and it's the only driving game I've got, but I don't see what the hate is about.

I have every NFS game since nfs 2 SE (and i have been editing and modifying NFS engines for more than 4 years) and I can tell u prostreet is the worst of the lot, sure the gfx are gr8 but the so called simulation handling model and story sucks Very bIG Balls ! Nfs 5 which came out 7 years before prostreet has a better more realistic handling system which says alot

[iOverflow]

lol, Why do you even bother playing the games you hate ><

[phoenix]

Would we not need to have tried them first before we could dislike them?
