If the game is so bad, why is every review it's getting generally positive http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/920601.asp I know that gamerankings isn't god and all, but if a game is getting good ratings overall, it can't be that bad.

Well I have Gothic 1, and it sounds like they haven't improved the combat at all, because it was kinda crappy in there too. I do like it though, I'll take all the open ended rpgs I can get.

Well no matter what, they're going to hate 3-d graphics even though it's better. They just hate change and refuse to admit that 3-d allows for deeper gameplay and exploration, which is what adventure games are about.

Wow, that's the only article I've ever read in EGM that doesn't suck.

Are you sure? Because I have the demo and you shoot by pressing the L button, you tap the screen to jump.

What are you talking about? FPS are dead? Unreal Tournament 2004, Far Cry, Battlefield Vietnam, Doom 3, and Halflife 2 all came out last year and were successful. And why would you want to play a FPS on a handheld? You could say that about any genre of games, some people would rather play a FPS on the DS instead of a platformer. Just because you hate FPS doesn't mean that everyone hates the genre. In fact, it might be the most popular genre on PCs. And I agree that warioware touched is better than Feel the Magic, but both are very good games.

Well...at least it's not pg-13 like some rumors said it was going to be.

They can probably license the engine to companies to make fps for them, like promotions for a movie or something.

Yeah, I agree it's a crappy move, it was obviously Sega's idea (being a console game company and all, and refusing to talk to PC Gamer one time just because they're a pc gaming magazine and not a console gaming one) Even though I usually like Sega, it usually sucks when game developers are taken over by big publishers.

WoW is easily the best MMORPG ever made, I'm looking forward to the new patch which will add some new stuff, balance the game (even though it buffs shamans), and speech bubbles. Right now, my character is a level 38 human priest and part of the Cardboard Tube Samurai. And this Saturday we're having a pvp event with a horde guild called the Obsidian Spur (another PA reference) at some arena. I've been to one before and it was pretty awesome. It started off with a few 1vs1 fights, and ended with all the members of both guilds attacking eachother at once. The last pvp event also had a nude fight where no one had any items equipped, and it was a fistfight only with no skills. It's amazing to see the stuff that is planned out when characters hit level 60. I really want blizzard to add some new stuff already though. There's been mmorpgs like Star Wars:Galaxies (yes is sucked but...) that had things like played owned houses, guild halls, you know, property that you could own. I'd love to see guild hall instances or something added to the game. At least the pvp honor system and the battlegrounds (when it comes out) should add a lot to the game.

Ok, if you actually have the cd case for the game then you should be able to find it. Look on the back of the paper thing in the front of the case, it's right there.

System Shock 2 multiplayer is actually cool, even though a ton of people seem to think it doesn't exist. It does make the game way easier though. If you have people just focusing on certain abilities, you can get into some areas pretty early on in the game.

I'm guessing that he means that PR people are usually asked the same questions over and over and they always come up with the same responses like "our game rocks"

Red Dead Revolver is a pretty good western game, Oddworld:Stranger is also supposed to be a western.

http://www.channel101.com/shows/view.php?media_id=447 The greatest thing ever?

Yeah, it was. I was kinda disappointed in this one. But I'm looking forward to the next episode which should have some giant cosby battle.

OMG NEW EPISODE http://www.channel101.com/shows/view.php?media_id=496

my list Starcraft (single player is alright, but I hated the multiplayer and the game wasn't that deep for an rts, I prefer Age of Empires and Rise of Nations) Halo (coop is fun, but I thought the single player was terrible. Oddly enough, I liked Halo 2 a lot, huge improvements on level design) Almost every game from Dreamcatcher, why do people keep buying them, and why do they all take place in Egypt. Final Fantasy X, already mentioned this in an earlier post Jedi Knight 2 (I think that Raven sucks at level design and the levels without the lightsaber are painful) Most console rpgs bore me because of constant random encounters with enemies and turn based combat like in FF 1 and 2 (but not like KOTOR, which is actually turn based but doesn't feel like it)

Why do people keep hiring Keanu Reaves, he's probably one of the worst actors ever. "Two hemispheres of my brain.....are competing?" Wow, thanks for repeating what the doctor just said to you 3 seconds ago.

JDoom is awesome for single player, but I tried playing Deathmatch with someone else and it ran like crap. Actually, a lot of times when I play Doom online, it runs like crap. But it never ran well at all with JDoom. Doom Legacy seems to work pretty well online and I've never tried zDoom

But the thread title is "Games everyone likes (but really suck) " so is he saying that they suck, or is he saying that he personally doesn't like them like he says in his post.

WTF, you couldn't be any more wrong with those two games. Both have incredible stories, great artwork and msuic, and just great refreshing gameplay in both as well. I could say that Halo is a crappy game but everyone seems to like it, but just because I don't like it, doesn't mean that it's a crappy game. But for a game that I actually think is crappy but everyone likes, Final Fantasy X and X-2.

WTF, why did you make another doom thread for basically the same purpose as the last thread? Anyway, I'd like to play Doom 1 or 2, as long as other Idle Thumb people would want to as well. What program would we use, Doom Legacy?
