Well, I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but the game that I hate that everyone else loves is:
Final Fantasy 7
Its one of those games that whenever say anything negative about it, people act like I just killed their dog.
So very, very true! I remember that people are absolutely outraged with Baldrick, the writer who did the review of FF7 on this very site, to this day despite the fact that HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE THE GAME A BAD REVIEW! He just gave it a B+, a fine score for any game, and people went ape
shit over it, because they probably it deserved an A+(such a ridiculous idea that I feel silly just typing it) or something!
Mind you if you think you get it bad if you critque FF7 in any way, you should try claiming that Final Fantasy 8 was better than it. That's my opinion at least, and my God, have I been given a hard time for having it in the RPG forum over the years! Not that FF7 was bad IMO, but FF8 was just so much better in graphics, storyline, characters, gameplay, mini games, and just about everything if you ask me. Stick THAT in your collective pipes and smoke it FF7 fanboys! :wink:
Anyways, games everyone likes which I don't. You know I never was a fan of Ghost Recon, SOCOM or games of their ilk, the strategic team-based shooters are a bit too complex for me personally, I just want to go in there and blast everyone's heads off rather than having to worry about my unit at the same time.
EyeToy I was never a fan of, face it you look ridiculous playing it, it's very tiring and has all the single player depth of a paddling pool, but it seems the fad has worn off now, thank God!
MMORPGs. Rather like Communism it's a great idea, in theory, but when actually excuted it is almost immensely flawed. RPG's are not supposed to be multiplayer experiences IMO, they're all about an in-depth single player experience, about getting engrossed in an epic storyline and getting emotionally attached to the characters, which you can't really do in a game which has no end. Mind you, it would probably work if most of the games weren't dominated by either 13 year old fat male assholes who think typing in proper English is deeply uncool or uber-elitist "I've been playing this game for 5 years so
natrually I'm superior to YOU!" gadflys. Seriously, it's not a concept which works IMO.
Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven. But to be fair, that's solely because I'm not a big fan of football, they're very good for what they are, but I don't like them myself.
That's about all I can think of for now.
. Also i enjoyed that there were 6 charecters and it was easier to figure out which ones you wanted in your group. I also enjoyed the fact that you had to earn your weapons instead of just buying them. One more thing I enjoyed was the end when time gets compressed. Then the ending was way better than 7's.
