Games everyone else loved but you thought were shit

Elite was another one that was much more fun in theory than in practice, too. All those great wireframe spaceships, and they're all dots with occasional lines connecting to you until they *whoosh* past you for a fraction of a second. Maybe. And don't get me started on docking.
 
All the tomb raider games :mad:

Shit control system, shit level design, shit graphics; all they had going for them was a lass with unfeasible tits prancing about in small shorts. Even when I was a teenager I wasn't that easily impressed ffs.
 
GTA - played them all, but the novelty soon wore off. nice idea, but gets boring very quickly.

Medal of Honor - again, ive played them all and it was alright when it first came out, but the last two were awful and behind the times. Way too linear, awful AI and too short.

Tekken - How people think this is better than Dead or Alive is beyond me.
 
2D Mario platformers. Sure, iconic, classic, Miyamoto = genius etc but frustrating to actually play IMO, and too much promoted by nostalgic geeks.

(I liked the 3D ones, and also Mario Karts I like, because it doesn't just kill you for missing a pixel.)

sorry but I bet you have finished all of them

mario2 was the only one that was too wanky to finish (and i got to the last level, just couldn't be doing with it)

you can't say a game is shit if you sit through it to the end:hmm:

Easiest thing in the world on the BBC and Spectrum incarnations of Elite; absolute torture on the C64. That was the incentive to get a docking computer...
 
counter strike is the one i never understood

everybody on it cheats. and the guns are shit

the guns are pretty good imo, but once people just end up using M4A1s or AKs all the time.

and they have no cheating servers to go on.

although the last time i played counter strike was in 2002 so im not sure how much has changed since then.

last time i played was 2006 and it was boring cos they all used cheats. and yeah they get kicked off, but there is an infinite number of americans.....
 
the first 2 DAOs were fucking amazing.

DAO 3 was only good cos the titties looked more realistic :D

i haven't played Ultimate or 4 yet

I think it was the arcade aspect of CS that i enjoyed so much and the fact that it was the first game I played online.

I played it so much my girlfriend at the time dumped me :D

i think one of the problems for me was that i played it for maybe an hour a day, usually drunk, and people like you just stopped it being fun cs you knew all the positions and shot me in the head and so on :D:D

Nope, I always got to a certain stage, found myself dying fifty times in a row on the same part of the level because I was hitting jump a millisecond too late, and had a "moment of clarity".

I never got into CS, that was another game I always thought was a bit rubbish.

I did get really into online gaming at one point though. I played Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, which I got pretty good at, played in proper competition.

I also played Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which I really enjoyed. I was in a clan for that one as well. It was pretty fun. When I wasn't playing, I would be talking to other people in my clan on IRC. Or practiscing with them in the game. We had that microphone talky thingy (teamspeak, iirc). We were pretty good in that game as well, and were competitive. RTCW:ET is probably one of my favourite all time games.

I used to played Battlefield 1942 as well, but I didn't know anybody on there. I wish I did. And had a better computer. I know that sometimes on Enemy Territory, on rare occasions, you could have truly epic battles, and I had the same experience on BF1942. It was a bit more rare, though. I did become a pretty expert sniper.

Needless to say, I lost a girlfriend when I started getting into all this.

That's why I don't play online games anymore. There's no such thing as "just one more round."

These days my gaming is limited to old point n' click adventures and RPGs. They do suck you into their own little world, but at least you can pause/save it when women ask you to do things :)
 
any 3d platformer suck balls. mario and sonic both went lame the second they went 3d. I want 2d platfromers goddanm it.

Metroid prime. far to fiddly and hard.

agree with tomb raider other then the first one which was enjoyable as the puzzles werent too bad and everything was easy enough to find.

the sims. I mean really whats the point. oh and sim city & sim world etc. They were shit.

Theme park/hopsital/zoo/railway and whatever other toss was released.

Every civilization game other then the first two. Too quick!

Rock band/guitar hero. Just fuck off.

Easily one of the best games ever created. I played, enjoyed and finished it and did so much she took her helmet off at the end.

The fact you thought it was too hard is less a reflection on the game, more a reflection on you.

Games don't get 9.7 on gamespot easily, here is why its so great.

See I'm the opposite, I can whizz through all the 2D one's and love them but the 3D one's are too hard!

The Sims-utter shit.

Final Fantasy and all those role playing games can fuck off too.

The early Resident Evil games on the PS1 were shite, everytime you opened a door you went and made a cup of tea ffs.

Tomb Raider, though I thought everyone hated that?
