Battlefield 2- Same old same old. Playing Infantry only entails 2/3 maps total, and vehicle maps end up being arty spam fests with planes and copters to boot.

Deus Ex- Nothing, exept that some peoples faces are the ugliest most graphically nausiating things on the planet. Is that your face? or just a mask of blurred wall texture?

GTA San Andreas- The difficulty is all over the map, making playing on a set difficulty setting very difficult. Im trying to beat the game without cheating, but some of the City missions suck.

Kotor- Ugly interface, and impossible to understand equiptment (do i want +2/+3 constitution or +4 defense with boost). Is one lightsaber better than 2? It feels good, just unpolished. Plus it inexplicably drops to 20 frames a second for no reason on my perfectly capable computer.

Mafia- First real mission with guns is a joke. Let me get this straight: I have to shoot a dog, jump up the boxes, and then have a shootout in a house with a camera designed for street driving? What? Then, if i get 10 minutes in, complete many objectives, but get hit by a stray bullet, i have to start all over? Oozing with atmosphere, plauged by bad design.

Max Payne 2- I really quite enjoyed this one, but it was a little bland after a while.

Oblivion- Worst scaling game of all time. On my 2 ghz Dual Core, with a gig of ram, and a 256 mb X1600, it lags like crazy with multiple enemys on the screen. The settings i have it on are:

No grass, far distance viewing, no specular distance, very low shadow, reflective water, 1280x960, 2x AA, with bloom. I get similar frame rates (20-30) when i turn bloom off, and a little boost when i turn of AA. Medium textures. Otherwise it looks ugly, and for a game created for its eye candy factor it sure can look ugly.

Second Sight: Meh, feels like a console game. I quite like the game on GCN, but on PC it feels very archaic.

Serious Sam: 2nd Encounter: Hard. Really Hard. Good though, but hard.

Dawn of War - Dark Crusade : Looks like a really good game, too bad it's pretty hard and I suck majorly at RTS games.

Oblivion - I get tired of running around aimlessly in a beautiful countryside curiously almost totally devoid of any wildlife. Also the same voices used over and over on NPCs really annoyed me after a while.

It is the frank & cynical recognition of the inevitable limitations of people in general which makes me absolutely indifferent instead of actively hostile toward mankind.

Man, Second Sight had no replay value. Great game, just could not force myself to play it again.

Undying - Any cutscene where I see my character sucks. His arms and hands are WAY to big for his body!

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within: I tried to like you, but why can't you be more like your brother?

Don't I complain about Raven enough in other topics?

Serious Sam II. Until I played this game, I didn't think there was such a thing as too many enemies. Painkiller made up for it with ragdoll physics and plenty of splash damage. Even hand-held miniguns are no substitute for that.

Deus Ex 2 - simply, not different types of ammo, this made the game looks bad. And some minor graphic engine problems.

Half Life = Fuck those stupid, tedious Xen levels at the end of the game for making me never actually finish what was otherwise an amazingly good game.

Minor problems? I can barely play the game thanks to those engine problems, it plays choppy on my computer.

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood - Since when was aiming so damn finicky?

Rome: Total War - Why, oh why, did you just throw pillae at my cavalry? Are you Legionnaires dumb, or something? I can't abide friendly fire like that!

Silent Hill 3 - First of all, this doesn't scare me. It doesn't even get my heartbeat up. Second of all, why would you make a game this unaccessible in the first place? Way to get new players in on a series, guys. It's not bad, it's just hard to get into.

Resistance: Fall of Man - I can only look at so many gray landscapes while fighting so many gray things until I get bored.

Call of Duty 3 - Can you give me a break? My ears are ringing!

Seriously, playing MGS2 with Raiden may be the worst idea ever , he is so annoying.

Dungeon Siege was so amazingly bland. I was startled to see how poorly a game world could be depicted despite the excellent graphics and sound track. It takes skill to screw that up.

CnC Tiberian Sun... can we make a slower, more boring RTS somehow? The graphics certainly weren't anything special and the sound was dreadful. Only the cutscenes were cool, and that was all because of James Earl Jones. Most disappointing sequel ever.

CnC Generals... everything about it seemed fine but the damn thing ran like a slug and had countless bugs. EA decided not to even bother adding more patches shortly after the expansion pack came out, despite knowing full well that more were needed for balancing and stability issues. Disgusting.

I don't lack faith. I have faith in friends and family. I just choose not to place it in (what I find to be) an imaginary god in the sky. I have better things to do with my energy (like waste it playing video games and looking at porn) --TheeGoatPig

Simply playing MGS 2 annoyed me. I liked the first one, but damn, i coudnt get into MGS 2, and i have since written off Konami until another Zone of the Enders game gets released.

CnC Tiberian Sun


I was watching someone play that for a minute. Looked cool with the lasers and all.

The lasers did look alright - the Obelisk of Light was actually a fair bit cooler than in either of the other two CnC's. Except that for me after a while it got buggy and there was a lag between the laser firing and the sound of said laser.

I liked MGS2, and I didn't mind Raiden. He wasn't great, but he wasn't bad either, just wasn't Snake.
