Hahaha, well I actually laughed, so it’s all good pats
- All call of Duty games after the 2nd.
- Bioshock. It has atmosphere but I see NOTHING else great about it.
- Half-Life 2. The first was amazing, the 2nd one just didn’t do it for me.
- Halo 3. I lived the single player from Halo 1 and the multiplayer from Halo 2. By the third time around, it was getting old. Nothing really new here.
- Oblivion. Morrowind is one of my favorite games of ALL TIME. Sure, the combat sucked but it had a rich alien-like environment that was exciting to explore, and the story was second to none. In particular the Bloodmoon expansion was amazing. Oblivion felt like a generic LotR fantasy world, didn’t do it for me at all.
I hope Elder Scrolls 5 redeems the series (even if it is MMO).
EDIT: The trend here is sequels, probably just because they are games that don’t live up to their predecessors in my opinion.
Regarding halo… Originally I was supposed to come out in 98 or 99? Maybe even 2000. And then on the PC.
Had it arrived at that time it would have been a relatively groundbreaking PC game with the somewhat open environments and great graphics. Instead it became a good/awesome xbox original game.
When it finally arrived on the PC its technology and gameplay was hopelessly behind and quite the disappointment.
I do like halos scifi universe though.
Halo started out as an RTS game for the PC and Mac. Microsoft liked what they saw and wanted Bungie to make it a launch title for the Xbox because the (then) advanced game engine would be perfect to demonstrate the power of the console’s hardware. Eventually it was decided that they would instead make it into an FPS and an exclusive Xbox launch title.
The rest is history.
Yep, Microsoft Ruined it.:meh:
Fuck Microsoft and there customer service that you can barely understand.
It’s not their fault that the majority of the people living in India are Indian :retard: .
Halo takes all five spots. There is nothing more over rated than that series.
I think part of the reason the Halo series is overrated is cause the media loved to (over)use it as an example of a violent video game that was supposedly infecting the minds of the world’s youth. Nevermind that other, more morally ambiguous and/or more violent games were coming out at the same time, like GTA III, Max Payne, Silent Hill 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc…
Maybe it had to do with Halo already being popular? No idea.
It’s also because Bungie turned it into a franchise, what with the books and figurines etc, and the fags that actually bought the stuff. When I hear people bigging up Halo, they’re usually just saying it’s fun: it’s the minority that go on and on about it’s supposedly amazing story blah blah blah…
I like its story… 
It’s entertaining. It’s like Avatar: it’s not original, it’s not deep, it’s not clever, it’s just fun.

Doom 3. Everyone saying it’s one of the scariest games of all time…honestly, I played it once on the XBox, and after that I was able to blow through it with no trouble at all. Once I got it on PC, the places I didn’t see in the XBox version scared me, but again, only on the first play through. Not that scary. Ravenholm in HL2 does a better job of scaring me now than Doom does, and the shotgun is just rediculous. Barely used any other gun at any point once I got that one.
-
Unreal Tournament 3. Yeah, yeah…graphics are cool…yeah, yeah…return to the original style…If it wasn’t for the fact that UT3 delivers a speed and graphical quality that is not present in UT99, I would have sold it long ago. The “story” sucked ass, and Malcolm is NOT from the 'hood. Sorry, Epic…try to make a decent story next time…and characters that don’t have tree-trunks for arms and legs.
-
Halo series. I’ll admit, I had fun with this franchise. And I think I’ll be getting Halo Wars and ODST as well…but come on…Generic Action Movie Hero #117 battling Aliens rejects and King Kong’s nephews in space, on Earth, and on a big Headcrab…er…Flood factory. All of this with characters that are charachatures more than anything, bland and uninteresting gameplay, and a rather blah arsinal (Some guns are fun, though…love the Needler) all wrapped in a generic sci-fi universe with some sort of “Faith is bad, science is good” undertone. Sgt. Johnson is the only thing that saved the core series for me.
-
Bioshock. I played it, and it is…decent…but I got bored with it. Like someone else said, shock/wrench combo is the only real combo you need. I tried others, but they don’t work as well. Morality choices that don’t really feel at all emotional (or maybe I’m just cold-hearted when it comes to games…though I never harvested a Little Sister), and everyone said the water physics were amazing…but not really. It was too perfect. It just seemed bland. Shiny, but bland.

Any pay-to-play MMO. Wohoo! I get to pay money to beat up the next 50 low-level monsters, run 30 randomly placed pieces of junk to 15 random people, stop raiders from attacking this building, and watch fat guys in their basements running around as super-skinny women in metal bikinis! WOHOO! Wait…can’t I do this all in Oblivion, Mass Effect, Morrowind, and a thousand other games that I DON’T have to pay to play?
Most UNDERrated games…
-
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. Despite the fact that it was not finished when it was released, it’s still the most fun I’ve had in a Jurassic Park game. Sure it gets boring after a while, but it’s still fun to randomly pop in to play. I love to open Site B and create a natural, living ecosystem with dinosaurs in it.
-
Army of Two. It has it’s small share of bugs. It’s ungodly short (hell, it TELLS you all the levels in the game in the manual…all 6 of them…). The AI is HORRIBLE. Suicide Bombers are a game mechanic? All of these say it’s a bad game…but the tremendous amount of fun you can have while playing co-op makes up for most of it.
-
Enemy Terretory: Quake Wars. This is an awesome game. It doesn’t have many levels, it feels kinda clunky…but the sheer scope of what you can do in the environment, with the environment, and through the campaigns make up for it. I’ve had tremendous fun…and I could have even more fun with it online…if people ever actually played it.
-
Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Once you get past the…lackluster graphics and bug-ridden gameplay, you’ve got a decent game capable of holding it’s own among other more well-recieved RPG’s. Missions that repeat, but never quite in the same way…some missions that require a different set of skills than others…some missions designed for detectives, some for horror buffs, some for run-n-gunners. All in all, a well rounded game that tried to do too much, and didn’t give itself the polish time it needed.
-
Gladius. A turn-based gladiator RPG with an interesting, if uninspired, storyline. The amount of leveling and equipping you can do for a gladiator group of up to 20, with varied battles that force you to have a well-rounded team, or give up on some of the tournaments, offering limitless replay value…marred by the ending, and the rather boring and repedative combat. I could win a battle using one hand.
My younger brother was obsessed with that game.
Also, saying “it’s the most fun I’ve had in a Jurassic Park game” doesn’t really mean much.
Bioshock: Interesting story and atmosphere, too bad the gameplay was shit.
The CoD-series: Mediocre, consolified, dumbed down for the masses. Gameplay consists of going into cover, popping out to shoot 2 guys, get back into cover to regenerate health…
Uncharted 2: It’s good, but the lack of innovation and originality keeps it from going all the way. It’s like CoD for TPS, only a bit better.
Battlefield 2: Boring, bad hitboxes. The gameplay consist of running, running, shoot, miss because of the engine, get killed. Rinse and repeat.
I can’t think of any other game right now. You’ll have to do with 4
BioShock, bad gameplay… WTF?
I seriously concur. Not with the bad gameplay…with your ‘what the fuckery’.
it’s bad that Valve can’t use the Half- life serie properly. However i prefer it this way than it becoming a serie like Halo
Explain 
I can’t make any sense from your sentance Mastershot.
