Things That Bother You About Gaming

People who think Halo invented the genre

Good lord, that thread is a chore.

"Of course it looks like Halo, Halo invented the FPS genre."

None better than this. Still can't tell if this was supposed to be backhanded sarcasm or what, but man... 

[Angus]

I hate Ubisoft.

So, so much.

Have they made any good games besides Prince of Persia (and King Kong)?

That one definitely was, as far as I can tell.

Lots of stupidity in that thread, though.

TMNT GBA, Shadow Wars, and Rayman 2.

That's all I've enjoyed.

[Kiddington]

I thought Rayman 3 was... OK. Kinda gimmicky, and a definite step down from 2, but still OK.

...then those goddamn Rabbids took over, and we haven't had a normal Rayman title since (unless you count 3DS, but that was just a re-release). Yeah, Ubisoft blows.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I never played Rayman 3. I only played 2 cuz I got the 3DS at launch and wanted a good platformer, and heard good things. Other than that garbage final level on the rocket that I cannot fucking beat, it's a great game.

It also hasn't been ported to hell and back like 2 has, though. If it got a 3DS port, I might try it.

[Foggle]

Rayman 3 has an awesome licensed theme song (probably the only song by Groove Armada I actually like), but the game itself is so fucking boring. The combat is tedious and the platforming is banal. 1 and 2 are awesome, though... and the Rabbids freakin' blow.

I hate Ubisoft.

The first three Splinter Cells are also quite good.

But the less said about Double Agent and Conviction, the better.

A lot of irony in this review

Especially considering where the genre is currently sitting now.

[Foggle]

Everyone at one time or another has described some videogame as scary - and as we all know, they're never scary to anyone with an IQ above, say, 12.

Oh man, I hope the reviewer has had the pleasure of playing Fatal Frame 2 and Penumbra since writing this.

I actually kind of like what that review had to say. Of course, the text matches Call of Duty a lot more than it does Doom (come on, who doesn't love Doom!?), but at least it was better than Tom Chick's Deus Ex review.

WELP

Blizzard finally hit rock bottom.

[Foggle]

This perma-connection DRM shit has got to stop. It's only a matter of time before it becomes industry standard and/or hits consoles...

[Spark Of Spirit]

Well, if it comes down to it, you can always stick with Diablo 2... Which I think a lot of people are going to do. Except the Blizzard faithful, but they'd defend anything Blizzard did.

[Rynnec]

I was going to put this in the MML3 thread, but I think it also fits here.
