5 Worst games you've played.

Oh god i hate it when i pick up a game expecting it to be good and i play through it to the end even though i don't know what's going on because it's so boring to pay attention we've all had these games hopefully.

For me the 5 worst games i've played are:

1). Final Fantasy XIII - An example of a boring game when i've had no idea what the hell is going on. I actually got to the only good chapter which is Chapter 11 because it has the Mark system from XII. I have no idea what happened in the story something to do with Focusing, death and whiny little gays. I don't get why they don't use Bahamut to fly into Cocoon.

2). Key of Heaven - When i first played this game it was for me a waste of money. However after a while i got into it but then lost focus and still don't know what's going on because no-one in the game tells me anything!!!

3). The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess - This is a lot worse then people make it out to be. I completed the game but i realised that it was a waste of something like 26 hours, the story was stupid (My opinion) nothing good really happened in it and i think it's weird that every dungeon boss can be killed by the weapon or gadget that can be found in the dungeon.

4). Hunted the Demons Forge - This was boring the only good part was that half the females in the game hardly wear any clothing, actually 2 good parts the other being that when they say Sleg i mistook it for Slag, it made me lol. The gamplay is annoying to begin with and it's a short game. The last chapter was where it really got good for me, well that and every boss.

5). This one is a tie between RE4 and RE5 - Let me start with RE4, Ashley and that's all i need to say for that point. The thing that dissapointed me the most was the change in gameplay, theres no horror in it as you can clearly see around everything so nothing jumps at you unlike RE, RE2 and RE3. I also can't stand Leon he's to much poofy for a 'cool' video game character, another thing that really dissapointed me was that they took out the zombies which was what made resident evil for me. The only good side to this game is that i could organise my Suitcase which for me was heaven as i have a slight case of OCD and needed to make sure everything was perfect and fine for me otherwise i'd get pissed off and quite the game like i did many times.... Now RE5 most of the points i said for RE4 are still Valid but RE5 has one moment which made me remember it's a resident evil game. Before entering the Manor near the end of the game while you are in the labs those Lion dog things jump out from the vents and the roof, first time i played it i was like "Well at least they made an attempt at horror." An additional point that made it a good game is Chris Redfields arms are basically tree trunks he punches the shit of those Maniji or whatever they're called and half the time they just die.
 
I'm just gonna go ahead and say RE4 is one of the best games on the gamecube, Ashley or not, and Twilight Princess was awesome.

1. Red Steel - One of the few games I just had to stop playing. I couldn't stand it. Every "level" was the same thing with a new setting (kill enemies, get to your girlfriend, oh no, she's gone, next area).

2. Any Madden NFL game - This is a biased opinion as I'm not a fan of sports. Video game sports are even more boring than their real life counterpart. Not to mention it's the same thing year after year.

3. Any Call of Duty past 4 - Same thing, nothing changes, campaign is a drag, and the online mode has nothing new at all. I enjoyed 4 and its campaign was pretty good. But everyone just brags on and on about how awesome these games are when they're nothing spectacular. CoD5's zombies was also stupid and boring. Neeext.

4......that's really all I can think of that I think are bad games. Aside from when a really awesome game gets streamlined so it's terrible/not as good as the first like Mass Effect 2 (although still a damn good game, just not as deep as the original RPG wise) and Dragon Age 2 (BioWare doesn't seem to learn :hmmm:).
 
Well, this isn't particularly hard:

1) Final Fantasy XIII - Well, obviously this one would come first, although perhaps not, because I technically didn't play it. All I did for about 15% of the time was holding up on the control stick and mash X, and the other 85% I was watching movies. This isn't what a video game is supposed to be like; it's an interactive movie, and a poorly scripted one at that. There was absolutely NOTHING good about this pile of junk, not even the graphics, because they were too HD for my TV to handle. What a stupid design flaw to have. To this day, I wish I'd never given this game a chance to impress me, and I regret having ever defended it against the haters that appeared almost immediately when it was released.

2) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I hear cries of protest and despair at seeing this. Frankly, I say get over it, and play a proper Zelda game, i.e. one of the 2D ones. The Legend of Zelda, like every other Nintendo series that isn't Star Fox, made the transition from 2D to 3D TERRIBLY. Ocarina of Time, for all it's hype, has barely any story, is fairly linear and straightforward, and presents no challenge whatsoever. I see nothing of the "epic" storyline that is supposed to be there and, whilst the port on the 3DS looks nice, it's still the same shit, just on a different console. Ocarina of Time is AWFUL. It set the shit standard for every Zelda game to follow it, meaning it is also responsible for making 3D Zelda games short, shit and easy. I hate Ocarina of Time.

3) Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Uh...what happened? How did this series get so bad? This was a truly, truly awful game. I could practically hear the TROLOL guy singing in the background through the "story" mode, which was a pile of randomly collected bullshit, and when compared to Melee, this game was an atrocity. For one, they removed several good characters (Roy, Mewtwo) and added in characters with exactly the same movesets (Ike, Lucario) and the online multiplayer was nothing to brag about; it was awful, because Nintendo don't know how to balance their characters. It looked pretty, but then, so did FFXIII. This was a disgrace to what had been a fantastic series up to that point.

4) Final Fantasy IX - I was tempted to put it first, because FFIX is a game I have tried repeatedly to play over the years, and failed each time, because it is just so BORING. This was such an awful game, and I will never understand the hype behind it. The battles were so slow it was amazing if you could finish one in under five minutes, the story was tedious and uninspired, the single saving grace of the characters is that they didn't have voice actors - which Zidane and Kuja no longer have, thanks to Dissidia - and it was just such a tedious thing to try and play. FFXIII played itself. FFIX forced you to put up with the monotonous crap.

5) Bayonetta - Oh, why why WHY did I buy this game? It's so painfully crude that it becomes impossible to play. The music can't decide if it wants to be painful-on-the-ears jazzy shit or awesome-as-fuck dramatic chorus, but settles mostly on the former, the gameplay involves just frantically hammering away at every button and praying you don't get hit, the "story" is a poor excuse to continue onwards, and Bayonetta herself is the worst kind of whore: the kind that doesn't stop flaunting herself. This was just an excuse for mindless fanservice; this was almost as bad as Ar Tonelico Qoga. But where that game had the gameplay and two games worth of story to save itself, Bayonetta has nothing.

Shame the topic title says five...I missed out Persona, Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed, amongst others. Oh well...

Omgosh. I think I died a little inside. Despite bad storyline, FFXIII wasn't at all a worst game ever. It may have been disappointing from the buildup but hardly putting it in a top 5 for me.

Zelda OOT - Wow, I don;t think I have met someone who has placed it in worst 5 before. The 2Ds are classic but at the time, OOT was such a special game, and still is for many people.

FFIX - Ahh, my first FF game. Although the cartoon-like qualities of the characters, I thought it was a fantastic different move by the designers. I still hold it in a special place XD

I do however agree on brawl and bayonetta. Playing SSB on N64 (good times) I never invested in the new because of the tendency to over complicate control systems. The beauty of the original is that it didn't take much at all for a first time player to have a good game. I guess thats a problem with some fighting games. Bayonetta is just a game for boys who need someone. Hehe.

And persona 3 was great as well. Halo got a little overrated towards the end and assains creed was fun for the first 20 min then got overly repetitive.
 
If we are talking TRUTH... XIII does not even approach this list in an all time perspective. Let not be so quick to judge some of these newer games. Lets also not be so quick to forget some of the monsters that exist.


Parrapa The Rapper - So your a dog that needs to rap his way to stardom while you press buttons in order to make him move and dance. while it seems cool this game suffers from one major flaw: unresponsive control! You constantly press random buttons as you franticly struggle to make the controls work. The rhymes are stupid, the plot is nonsecial and the lyrics are so poorly translated that they sound baka!

Deal or no deal - I mean pretty self explanatory... the show is hard enough to watch.

Black - This game might have been cool... if you could play multiplayer. Its a shooter game for christs sake.

Jenga, World tour - Yes... a video game Jenga. I am sure the game itself on the nintendo DS must be the same concept as picking up wooden pieces with your hands. I am sure a VIDEO GAME for this, would ruin nothing.

E.T. Extra terrestrial - Does anyone remember this game form the Atari? I was friggen 6 years old and I knew this game was shit.

I deleted the zoey when I read the OP. As for the DS I have the Chinese piration device called a "revolution", and over a 1,000 worldwide games on the DS. So sadly I have played the jenga game.

But jenga is awesome so that's ok :)

Jenga is awesome when you pick up wooden pieces rofl. However a video game destroys the whole point.

Hey guys. This is a post count thread, and specifically a post count thread asking you to describe the 5 worst games you have played. Could we please be careful not to find ourselves chattering back and forth? Spam or chat posts will be deleted.
 
:hmmm: this will be tough:

Final Fantasy XIII: I hate everything to do with this game, I hate, hate, hate it. I can't even express just how much. Bad Characters (FUCKING SNOWWWW!!), Bad story, Bad music, Bad Bad guy (WTFFF). But the thing I hate most about this game is the fact that it got me so hyped up to play it, i couldn't wait for months and months and even years and then it turned out to be such an utter disgrace. SIGH! I will admit it was pretty though.

Kirby's Epic Yarn: I bought this game because of the rave reviews. I heard it was a little childish but overall it was awesome so I decided to give it a go. I bought it and popped it into my Wii and began to play. Instantly all my braincells melted and disappeared from existence. It was so...ugh I don't even know! You can't die and I felt like I was in kindergarten again, and that's not a good thing.

Final Fantasy VIII: Hate it, hate the junction system, hate that you don't have to level up to beat bosses, hate the characters. Not sure about the story, it's probably ok. (I never bothered to finish it.) That is all.

...I'll add the last two when I can think of them...I'm having a mental blank.

Nice to see another Zelda hater =P
 
Okay, so not sure if there’s going to be five, but I might surprise even myself. So, uh here it goes. xD

1.) Devil May Cry 2(PlaySttion2):

So, this one surprised even me. I loved the first, and even the third one(which I think is the best one up to date), but just everything about DMC2 speaks fail. There was…like no thought put into the story, and the battle system was poorly done. Yes, I get that in the others, it’s somewhat the same, but in this one it wasn’t even tuned in any form. And oh my god, the missions were about as boring as watching paint dry. I don’t know which part of the game I disliked more - the weapons or the characters.

Actually, now that I think about it, the characters were just dreadful. They had no solid personality, but what was a real letdown was Dante. He was so great in Devil May Cry 1 and 3, but in this one, he was just..*shutters*. Yeah, it’s fair to say why this is at the top of my list.

Oh, let’s not forget to mention that the main villain was a disgrace to Main Villains to ANY video games.

2.) Overlord(Xbox 360):

I’m shocked at myself. This game had high hopes. I had high hopes for this game. It’s just the whole premise stopped right there - at the premise. Once you got into some game time in this game, I found that there was little to any interest after an hour of playing it. Sure, kicking around the little servant is fun and all, but when you don’t even have anything to base your story around, the game becomes very dull very fast. This is exactly what happened with this game. I did not like playing it for very long. The lack of weapons was just horrid, and assigning the limited spells was hard enough, but the fact that there wasn’t a wide selection to choose from made me sad.

I went on about the game in general, but I haven’t went on about the characters. Well, this is because there isn’t much to brag about. If there was any depth to any character, it would be the stupid servant you can kick around. The person you actually play as doesn’t talk, and as such, has no personality.

This game is just horrible.

3.)WWF/E Smackdown(PlayStation 1)

Yeah, this one wasn’t all that bad tbh, but at the time, graphics weren’t really hot. However, this game had nothing for it - the movelist was horrible, and just about every damn animation in the game was boring as hell. I get that it was a Wrestling Game, but at least the ones for the Nintendo 64 at the time were good, and actually enjoyable, but this one was just so bad, it’s not even funny. I even found this game fun when I was a kid, but looking back, it was an utter disappointment, and I’m ashamed that I even found it enjoyable.

4.) Final Fantasy Tactic: The War of the Lions(PSP):

Yeah, surprisingly I put this on the list. I enjoyed FFT for the original Playstation, but this one was just so bad…yeah, I’ll leave it at that. There was nothing in this game that interested me..well, ofc I took suggestions from others to check it out, and once I played it, I wanted to get my money back. That’s how bad this game actually was imo. The gameplay was bad, and the characters were bland as hell. They made Vaan seem like the ideal character. Yes, I said Vaan and Ideal character in the same sentence, so sue me?

I couldn’t even get past one level without putting it down for a week at times. Some liked it, but hey guess what? I’m not part of those “some”.

5.) Call of Duty 2(Playstation 2 and Xbox 360)[/B]

Urgh, I didn’t want to put a CoD game up here because I knew there would be some hate feedback, but fuck it. I just couldn’t stand this game. Nothing about it said “interesting stuff here”. I mean, it was just the same thing: Kill enemy, get something neat, and repeat steps. I really don’t know what people see in these games, but there’s nothing new or exciting.

Yeah, I get that this was an early addition into the series, but it was this game alone that turned me off to any and all CoD games from then on. It’s funny because I almost was actually considering going against my own word, and buying Black Ops. Good thing it was almost, and not actually buying it.

Oh hey, I actually got to five. I was actually hoping to include some others, like Halo and Genji: Dawn of the Blade. Oh wellz.
 
1 Final Fantasy XIII. Horrible storyline, battle system, characters, just horrible everything.

2 Final Fantasy XII. It's just a plain tedious bore, the main character Vaan doesn't have much of a impact, and the storyline is like watching paint dry. Very slow, and uninteresting. And the government plotline, maybe it's exciting for voting for the President, but not for a Final Fantasy game.

3 Link to the past. Yeah I'm another Zelda hater. Link to the past, just has no direction and it just has too much freedom. It's messy, unclear, and unbalanced.

4 Mario. I don't know why it's so poplaur and well- liked. All it is, is just bouncing on mushrooms, and walking along a green place land. Sonic had speed, twists and turns, and exciting music. Mario is just skipping along while tugging down white flags, with a extremely predictable storyline. Thankfully Mario's brother has a more thrilling game.

5 Bayonetta. It's just basically pointless fan-service for horny males.Not only is it bad, it's also extremely insulting towards the female gender.
 
1. Lux-Pain for the Nintendo DS.
I don't play games if I know they're gonna be really bad, but sometimes I feel like I might have an open mind towards some games and I see if I can give them a chance. In this case, Lux-Pain was horrendous. It's supposed to be a visual novel/adventure puzzle game thing using the DS stylus, but that's not the part where the game fails. The English translation is horrible, the game contains lots of voice acting which I give credit for, except it wasn't really that good. The lines of text were almost ALWAYS slightly different than what the voice actors were saying as if there was a seperate localized script and the actual lines of text in the game were the direct translation. Also, from the very start the game is completely confusing and doesn't give you any sense of what to do or how to play.

2. Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness for PC/PS2/Xbox. (This being the best out of the three)
I thought this might be an okay game, and I might be able to look past its faults due to its good qualities, but no. This game is proven to be an unfinished beta of what it could have been; a great game. They were rushed into completing the game, so plenty of things about it are broken and lacking. The storyline is probably the best part of the game, but by the end there is still several unanswered questions that seem to hint a sequel that never happened. The controls are bad, you die like every 1-5 minutes due to dumb mistakes and you have to manually save the game every time you advance, slightly, just in case you die.

3. Phantasy Star Universe (specifically the Xbox 360 version).
My friend brought it over once, and it looked interesting. We popped it in, and as soon as the title screen disappeared after selecting "New Game". My hilarity and shock started to set in. The voice acting was... the worst I've ever seen in a videogame, the graphics were extremely inconsistent. Usually going nothing above PS2 quality (from the age the game originally came from). The gameplay was repetitive but sometimes attractive, and the story seemed incredibly stupid. Also the worst crime this game commits is the LAZINESS that is apparent in the development. I see character models laying around the screen pretending to look injured and stuff... They're completely still except maybe a joint, like their forearm will be moving robotically up and down slowly, to symbolize 'activity' and 'movement'. Ugh, it was a port on a next-gen console, you'd think they would do extra effort to remaster the thing.

Those are the only bad games I've ever let myself play to be honest.
 
1) Animal Crossing

Okay, yes. To be very fair, Animal Crossing is not and was never going to be a game that would suit my tastes. Yet I still made the foolish decision of purchasing it purely because Nintendo magazines were barking on about how great this was and how everyone should buy it. Okay you pricks, I bought it. For £30. What do I get? I know I'm in a weird world of anthropomorphic animals, so what do I do? Collect bugs, fish, pay the rent and be yelled at by a fucking mole? And I was supposed to be addicted to this game and expect to interact with the cute world every day? Sorry, I'd rather play a game that actually gives you something to do. I got rid of this as soon as possible and ugh, thank goodness for that. I just wish I got my money back.

2) Driv3r (...yeah, replacing a letter with a number was cool wasn't it?)

Fortunately, I didn't buy this atrocity. My brother forked out the money for it and I've eternally grateful that I never went near it with my wallet. I had a good go at it out of boredom and it's just clear just why this game received quite a beating by reviewers. There is an odd dicotomy of stupidly easy on-foot missions (Tanner moving like he's broken his leg) with enemy A.I. that are just too stupid to do much to you - often shooting at a wall continuously trying to get you from behind a corner - and stupidly tough driving missions that leave next to no margin for errors. Hit an almost-invisible nasty bump at full speed, your car shoots into the air and mission over. And when I tried to replay a scene, it ended up losing my mission progress in the meantime. Yeah, well done developers. The cutscenes while not bad, did sometimes look like something from a weird music video.

3) Any Call of Duty game.

Well, I played a bit of the first and the third games, and no further. Undoubtedly CoD 4 would have been better than what I had played, but it still wouldn't have been my cup of tea. Anything else beyond CoD 4 just look like the same over-hyped crap as the last. It's like if I hate the FIFA games and I look at the people who buy every annual addition of it. That's what I think of CoD and arguably a lot of other samey military shooters that get milked for all their worth every year. While I don't think any of the CoD games are terrible - it's not like Driv3r where it's unanimously bad - they're simply not my thing. Military shooters with the same old Nazis or ultranationalist Russians in Stalingrad or whatever just aren't interesting to me. At one point I wished I could get into them, but it just dawned on me eventually that this really isn't my idea of fun.

4) Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

I love Tomb Raider. I really do. Yet at times I just can't forgive this game for feeling so unfinished and a pain to play. Buggy visuals and an irritating control scheme just rear their ugly heads a lot more frequently this time round. While the controls are more or less similar to the previous TR games (and admittedly I've never been a big fan of the control scheme), it's just disconcerting when Lara plunges to her death trying to leap over a certain gap or to a specific platform. The controls just felt so unresponsive and the general experience far from fluid. You try to line Lara up as precisely as you can for a jump and thanks to the controls, they'd be responsible in some way for her overshooting it and falling to an imminent death. The camera system felt like it was a drunken person operating it - often it would just ignore you and decide to swing it round to a different angle abruptly and completely put you off as you're trying to mount a platform or something. Lara's silly "I'm not strong enough" excuses were odd as well.

5) Final Fantasy XIII

Surprised that this is on here? Surprised that this is not any higher up on the list? Whatever. After 12 hours of Xenoblade, I look back at FFXIII and just realise how un-RPGlike Square Enix's latest offline proper FF title is. I admit that I was very entertained by it at first because the story kept me hooked, but it did take a nosedive halfway through, so pushing to the end became a chore. Gameplay however, it leaves a lot to be desired. This was an RPG stripped to the very bare minimum that I don't know if I can even consider it an RPG. Yes, not every game needs towns, but the linearity with little to no escape from it just means a wallpaper-like, uninteractive world that you just don't care about saving. Gran Pulse? Were we playing the same game? That lifeless world hardly felt 'open' to me particularly as it was just only one stretch of plain with linear paths going off it. Battles also felt very shallow. While Paradigm Shift gave it some much-needed depth, Auto-Battle's presence means most of the first half of the game was not worth playing because Auto-Battle easily wins the fight for you with a bang.
 
Ok so after an unsuccesfull attempt at editing the title of my last thread to top 10 i gave up so i decided to start this which obviously will be easier to some people like me then others.

Ok so my top 10 worst games are:

1). Final Fantasy XIII - An example of a boring game when i've had no idea what the hell is going on. I actually got to the only good chapter which is Chapter 11 because it has the Mark system from XII. I have no idea what happened in the story something to do with Focusing, death and whiny little gays. I don't get why they don't use Bahamut to fly into Cocoon.

2). Key of Heaven - When i first played this game it was for me a waste of money. However after a while i got into it but then lost focus and still don't know what's going on because no-one in the game tells me anything!!!

3). The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess - This is a lot worse then people make it out to be. I completed the game but i realised that it was a waste of something like 26 hours, the story was stupid (My opinion) nothing good really happened in it and i think it's weird that every dungeon boss can be killed by the weapon or gadget that can be found in the dungeon.

4). Hunted the Demons Forge - This was boring the only good part was that half the females in the game hardly wear any clothing, actually 2 good parts the other being that when they say Sleg i mistook it for Slag, it made me lol. The gamplay is annoying to begin with and it's a short game. The last chapter was where it really got good for me, well that and every boss.

5). This one is a tie between RE4 and RE5 - Let me start with RE4, Ashley and that's all i need to say for that point. The thing that dissapointed me the most was the change in gameplay, theres no horror in it as you can clearly see around everything so nothing jumps at you unlike RE, RE2 and RE3. I also can't stand Leon he's to much poofy for a 'cool' video game character, another thing that really dissapointed me was that they took out the zombies which was what made resident evil for me. The only good side to this game is that i could organise my Suitcase which for me was heaven as i have a slight case of OCD and needed to make sure everything was perfect and fine for me otherwise i'd get pissed off and quite the game like i did many times....

6). Halo 3 - I'm just not a fan of the series this really bored me, i thought the story was too short and boring. Although after me saying this i'll get lots of posts calling me an idiot saying it's a bad game but it's MY OPINION!!

7). Mortal Kombat vs Dc Universe - This is one of the worst fighters i've ever played, the story was boring the characters were annoying and i'm not sure if it's because of the DC universe characters in but the fatalaties sucked.

8). Ultimate spider man - ugh this is the worst DS game i've ever played i don't even know what's going on.

9). Any Call Of Duty past world at war - World at war was the last good COD game, it had zombies which was unique for COD and i played it soooo much. But then MW2 came along and i just didn't like that and Black Ops ruined COD zombies for me and it got boring easily.

10). Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness - I miss the old games where you could run into a temple with dual pistols and shoot the shit of gorillas, dogs and dinosaurs where the hell did that go, sure i only played like an hour or 2 of it but it was just so slow to get into it i couldn't stand it.
 
1. Land Before Time: Return to the Great Valley (PS1)- You have not played #### untill you have played this one. My dad got it for me from some bargain bin; I liked the original movie, so was enthuiastic at first. Then it swiftly became horrible; with gameplay that consisted of nothing more than point A to point B with an annoying little bird thing that won't shut the hell up as it babies you throughout.

Then it asks you to play through the same five levels four times with no difference except character models. Then the game is done, and nothing has been accomplished. The only brightside it is short. Which shouldn't be a brightside.

2. Monsters Inc: The game (PS2). My youthful days of hoping from good things from movie based games from movies I enjoyed. Scaring robots, how...thrilling /sarcasm

3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone- See above. Awful and disappoining; it felt so rigid with little to no exploration, and the gameplay wasn't really fun either.

4. Crash Team Racing- Crash bandicoot was my first game ever, so I grew up as a fan of the series which steadily declined into this. Dull gimmicky gameplay that grew stale fairly quickly, and it was short.

5. Digimon World- This made me want to cry in frustration. It seemed like your partner could never get strong enough and you had to constantly run from things to have any hope of surviving. The tendency for your partner to die from age and return to the lowest state, causing you to have put in all the work to it for nothing was immensely annoying.

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I can't think of 10 games right now, but I may come back and add to my list.

I thought Star Ocean: The Last Hope was an absolutely awful game though, and it's pretty much killed any interest in JRPGs. I couldn't even finish because it was such a chore to play. I can't see myself buying another one unless it's highly recommended or I watch gameplay videos of it online.

The environments and characters are extremely dull. The world is big, but not worth exploring at all because everything looks very generic. The dungeons aren't fun to explore as they seem to be mostly just rooms connected by corridors apart from the odd chamber, which gets extremely repetitive. Everything looked too shiny as well I seem to remember.
There is almost nothing distinctive about any the characters either. Most, if not all, of them have very similar heads: skin that looks like it's from a plastic doll's head, big eyes, white teeth, clumpy looking hair, button noses etc etc. Very creative. ^_^ When I looked at the back of Faize's head I just thought, did the guy working on it just not show up to work that day or something?
“Let's create a cast of characters, make them look the same and then add some super duper coolio clothing on after guys.” Someone must have said something similar, and everyone must have agreed with them to create this cast.

Also, the entire plot is paced very poorly. I ended up going back and forth a lot, especially with all those 'personal actions' or whatever they were called, so the story felt like it had no direction. I had to read the rest of the plot and it seemed like I was about ¾ of the way through. Even at ¾ of the way through, I couldn't see the bigger picture. It wasn't very compelling up to that point either.
Some of the story is just ridiculous as well. At one point you get sucked into a black hole and end up in an alternate universe. Some shit goes down but at the end of the ordeal, I realised several bizarre things had happened. A planet had blown up, Edge is shown to be a naïve dumbass, and now I have Meracle onboard who serves absolutely no purpose. Why? Why did I have to go through that 'several hour detour' to make Edge an even more unlikable character by making him a whining bitch? WTF is Meracle doing in my party? Did a planet have to blow up to make this happen?

Finally, the voice acting is a disgrace, both English and Japanese. That's not too strong a word. Were they trying to take the piss with Lymle and Sarah? Cast your mind back to when you were 13 and boys thought girls had cooties. Now try and remember someone trying to imitate girls voice. That's what the voices sound like.
Not only is the dialogue shit, but the timing between people speaking was very off as well. It was almost as if it was a school drama class and characters were being directed when to speak by some unseen teacher.
The cast is completely lifeless, there is no feeling behind anything they say and the whole story suffers thanks to these two factors.

Overall, I think if I recommended this game to someone, they would probably take it as an insult.

In it's defense, the battle system is good fun and I enjoyed it. The ally AI is very stupid in boss fights though.

I think space is a great place to tell a story because it's so vast and you can get so creative with it. Tri Ace and SE have failed here IMO. But there's this company that did make a very good space themed RPG that you might have heard of.

They're called Bioware. The game is called Mass Effect 2. You should give it a whirl. :neomon:

Long story short, ah yeds, ranting on the internet, this game is utter shite.
 
Space is overrated I think

I don't know how people have played so many games that they hated, tbh I can barely remember hating any games. I will list a few that I half remember playing at certain points.

Rainbow 6 Something: I played this at a pal's house and he loved it, I think it is one of the dumbest games I have ever played. You basically rescued hostages from terrorists in every mission. The environments were generic as sin, and looked like cardboard with textures PVA glued on. You could choose what gun and grenades you brought in with you on every :damon: 'operation', but it made no difference all terrorists died with a shot or two and smoke grenades had no effect. You got these options at every door way to perform these cool tactical manoeuvres, such as 'frag and flank' or something equally banal. Which were pointless considering there was 40 rooms or so and two had enemies. Then if you did try those tactics the hostages would just die straight away

We played for half an hour, but he assured me the game was 'equally good' all the way through

Metroid Prime Something: I was like seven I think and got a lend of it on the GB from a pal. I got lost and couldn't find my way anywhere, until I was occasionally attacked by a slow moving monster. I played for a while then went back to Mario.

Spec - Ops: Some guy I knew in school lent it to me, I never got off the first mission. Like the first game I mentioned, you could choose weapons and such but they all did the exact same thing. I killed all the enemies and then there was nowhere to go. It was just a very dull game

FFIV: I liked the bits where the characters died
