Title: Those video games you love & hate at the same time
Post by: Legendary DeMoNk@I on December 14, 2014, 02:11:19 am
The subject is about those games you hated for various reasons but for some damn reason you played it anyway from time to time. Sometimes you never ended it or you just played it through anyway to get it over with and just to say you ended it. What was that One game or games you experienced that with? You can explain your experiences about them if you'd like not.

I had my fair share of those for sure but ill start with this one that comes to mind first below because although i hated it for a particular reason i still liked it enough to play through it and end it. Mind you i only cared to play and end it once and never cared to play it again smh



RESIDENT EVIL 5

Yes. i still have it because im a RE fan and yes i didnt enjoy it as much as i enjoyed RE4 for a particular reason. It was that shitty partner A.I. of Sheva that just boiled me up :bomb:. I dont know, maybe others here had a different experience but my god god this game pissed me off because of that crap in the worst situations. Either the AI was too stupid to get out of the way or i found her just poppin shots off in the wrong direction or just at targets that made her waste bullets. That plus she would get caught and stuck at the wrong time where i needed that back up. The RE games after that one i never had that issue with the partner A.I. A couple other friends laughed and said the same thing at the time about that but they still enjoyed the game. The game was great but man that part of it just made me hate it more so smh....

Smash Brothers Melee=It's fun when you're kicking butt, but extremely annoying when you blow up and die.

Playstaion All Stars Battle Royale=Fun, somehow, despite being really stupid, but Sackboy's moveset sucks, which stinks, because he's my main...

Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion=Same as Smash, but with a bunch of glitches.

Mario Sports Mix=Dodgeball, nuff said.

Pac-Man Party= Uhhhhhhh... Had bosses, some mingames were fun, great graphics, but just about everything else stunk.

Dark souls:

I want to entirely love the game but sheesh man its just too damn hard. I got further this time in that big Cavern of skeletons that be shooting arrows at you everywhere (deep in the caves just past that Torch holding demon Mystic er something) but man all i do is mostly run through there and die now. This has been month 4 er so now i stopped playing it...I gotta be in the mood to play it because i know the abuse thats coming with it lol

&

Dead Rising:

 ::) Im a huge zombie fan so that makes me play it still when im in the mood but sheesh that game is hard too. Im trying to get all the cases but between the time needed to complete certain cases (for the real ending) and just the difficulty of keeping survivors unharmed its a pain in the ass. So its been a good 3 years er so since i played that shit....DR2 isnt as tough as the first IMO (which ive ended already).

-Shadow The Hedgehog: Very, very interesting take on Shadow's story after SA2 on paper, but really bad when it was actually made. I still love this game.

-Castlevania: Dracula X: One of the best Castlevania games I've ever played (first one, tbh), but the fucking controls drove me nuts!

-Kingdom Hearts: CoM (GBA version): Great graphics, great way to connect KH and KH2. Battle system sucks, IMO.

-Ehrgeiz: I fucking love the idea of the game, the gameplay, and the inclusion of FF7 characters. But the camera is really bad though.

Shadow the Hedgehog: This game is godawful. The level designs are crap, losing only some of your rings instead of all of them is an obvious excuse to all the cheap hits you will be experiencing, the mission system is more obnoxious than interesting, Chaos control sucks if you want to do missions but becomes broken as hell during bosses, being able to adjust the camera would be an improvement if it didn't fuck itself all the time anyway, the homing attack tends to be suicidal, Shadow handles almost as poorly as Metal Sonic in Sonic R, you have to stop if you want to pick up guns, you often have to stop to wait for slow moving platforms to jump on, you have to stop to do dumb puzzles, and....Gaaaaahhh. What kept me going to finish this game though was the amusingly retarded plot filled with hilariously dull and poorly rendered characters.

True Crime: New York City/Sonic 2006/Sonic Boom/Mortal Kombat Advance/Superman 64: These games are really useful to me for one thing and one thing only: Entertaining people with all the glitches.

Battle Monsters and Primal Rage: Awful fighting games made enjoyable by their atmosphere and bizarre though heavily flawed systems.

D: Another game that's absolute garbage as a game but is enjoyable to experience because of the atmosphere.

Left 4 Dead 2, I can go from having fun to wanting to ragequit after a few seconds, the director being a loathsome cunt, idiotic teammates, or just retardation from the bots really make me despise that game sometimes.

This reminds me of all the times I rage quit when playing the Cryptic Castle, Mad Matrix, Cosmic Falls (holy shit), and Black Comet levels. And yeah, Chaos Control is a good excuse for level skip, unfortunately.....

LOL i love that game. there were times that certain situations pissed me off so bad online i had to laugh. Me and friends used to play that shit a lot online at the time and it never failed...Before the day was over either someone always got pissed with some random dude because he fucked up OR someone got mad because they got left for dead  ::) lol

No More Heroes: I hated the fact that the only reason to fully explore Santa Destroy was to find extra cash, bonus shirts, and those Lovikov balls or whatever the frig they're called. Also, the part-time job and exercise minigames in that game were extremely boring. But even with these gripes, I managed to stick with it.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3: I love the idea of this game, I love the characters in this game, I love how Capcom went the extra mile to make characters feel like they came from their source games in some cases instead of just fitting them into the versus series template, I hate the stupidly tiny amount of singleplayer content, I hate the cheap-ass endings, I can't play it worth a damn and never got the hang of switching between characters or X-Factor or any of that shit, I can play as any one character but the 3v3 aspect breaks my brain.

Primal Rage - It has such an AWESOME premise, FUCKING DINOSAURS FIGHTING. It's also pretty decently-animated. But my god is it stiff. I'm glad in the later versions, they fixed the controls to be more traditional, but it's still a pain to actually play.

Shaq Fu - Awesome music and animations, hilarious concept, but the input detection SUCKS. Hard.

Capcom Fighting Jam - Not gonna lie, it's a guilty pleasure of mine. It's aesthetically nice, has an awesome roster, but dear god the way they executed it... why not have selectable styles since it's literally built on top of CvS2, or at least a universal system?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle - MAN I was hyped for this... but the netplay and every single character using QCF commands is just... ugh. It felt so phoned in at that point. And not EVERY character needs an ORAORAORA-type move. In spite of that, the game has quite a bit of variation, but I wish they got a bit more creative with it. The netplay is also worse than Vanilla SF4.

Shadow the Hedgehog: I 100%'d this on the PS2 long time ago, I can't believe I went through that hell and survived.

Sonic Adventure 2: I had over 300 hours (I think it was actually 500 but I'm not sure) in my savedata (And you can add 100 more to that, I played it without a VMU for a long time) before my Dreamcast died. Nowadays I have the Steam version and the only badges I'm missing are related to the chao garden. I can't push myself to play that game even more just to grind for animals and THEN play every single damn chao race event, ugh.

Guilty Gear Isuka: 100%'d that one too. What a waste of time :|

Cartoon Network Speedway - God, it was an ugly game, but the fact that I could play as the Red Guy was simply glorious.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric - Some moments were actually pretty funny, and it does show a bit if promise, but then it all just fell apart.
 _(:I> L)_   Sonic 06 was just unbearable altogether.

Snowboard Kids - I'm gonna get first, I'm gonna get firs- *runs into wall next to small entry point to the elevator, gets hit with frying pans, gets hit by every weapon in the game, comes last*

Eastern Mind: Lost Souls of Tong-Nou: Awesome music, art, concept, and its a fun point and click. But the puzzles are convoluted as all hell and tedious after awhile.

King of Fighters XIII: As far as fighters go, absolutely gorgeous. Love the roster, music and gameplay. However I have a lot of problems with how strict the execution is.

Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice: Fun concept but dicerolling a million times so you can match two sides and summon a monster gets boring really quick.

Shadow of the Colossus -- an appreciable yet frustrating affair for being very realistic in parkour and horse handling. Far be it from this game to spoon feed the vast majority of casual gamers.

SvC Chaos: SNK vs Capcom -- granted, it's not CvS2, but what can I say? I grew up with this even whilst it was broken. Also amusing in that Ryu has -- for once, even if OoC -- a personality. (http://i43.tinypic.com/oa17o6.jpg)

Holy Diver: It's like playing NES Castlevania on steroids. The music is great, the sprites are pretty nifty, and the whole concept of fighting through Hell (literally) is great. But it's so hard I still haven't beaten the second level. I got VERY good at beating the first level though.

The .hack games: Halfway through the second one, the game started feeling really repetitive, and grinding for virus cores was a chore. But I kept playing for the story because I really wanted to know the truth behind The World. Then I find out it was created by a guy who had a crush on a fanfiction writer, and when she died, instead of crying and moving on like most people, he adapted one of her stories into an MMO and coded in a girl NPC who is his imaginary daughter between himself and the fanfiction author. Barf.

It's worthless when USFIV and Skullgirls have a far better system that allows me to play with people from far away. A series like KOF deserve GGPO, not this input delay shit. Maybe it's your internet that can compensate for the bad netcode.

Smash 4 is somehow the best and worst game at the same time.  Best gameplay, visuals and music but worst modes, unlockables and roster.  Too much Kid Icarus and Animal Crossing crap, but as a tradeoff there's a lot of Mario and Fire Emblem stuff too so that's good.
Title: Re: Those video games you love & hate at the same time
Post by: タイタニックリバース on December 15, 2014, 12:24:39 am
I think you mean too much Mario stuff. There's literally 7 Mario characters. That, and the impacts are WAAYYY softer than they are in Brawl. I agree with bad roster, though. And the music is rather bad compared to Melee or even 64. They could easily make a better Pac-Man remix.
Title: Re: Those video games you love & hate at the same time
Post by: Duos on December 15, 2014, 12:41:24 am
>700 songs
>Worse than Melee music even though 80% of Melee's music is in the game.

The impacts are also NOT softer than Brawl, seeing as Brawl let you RECOVER OUT OF HITSTUN.  Gameplay wise 4 is the best but as far as "content" goes they dropped the ball tremendously.

^^^^ WTF.....spam bot like a motherfucka!!

EDIT:

Ok the spam bot was sprayed away off the page


The other game i can mention is Ghosts & Goblins on NES: The game was painfully hard but yet i still played that shit anyway trying to see how far id get before rage quitting

Boy & His Blob (NES): My father at the time got it for me for my B day as a surprise and lord...my friends laughed at that shit saying "WTF is this crap?? this is horrible!".....I knew it was bad but then out of boredom i just started playing it more and more and liking it for what it was. the graphic design was horrible compared to games like Super C, Castlevania 3 & SF 2010 at the time but the cool abilities that the blob got depending on what Jelly bean you gave it was pretty damn cool....Music was dry as hell though lol....but...i still played it from time to time. Guilty pleasure


Title: Re: Those video games you love & hate at the same time
Post by: Duos on December 15, 2014, 01:25:39 am
Anyway if you're talking gameplay for Melee I'd strongly disagree because I think Melee gameplay is boring as fuck but in terms of content it was definitely superior because
-Adventure mode
-Better event matches
-BRRRRRRRRRRRRREAK THE TARGETS
-Better stages
