Ever had a time when you went to buy a game that everyone told you was great, and had had the critics raving, but when you sat down to play it... it was a piece of shit... Well, what better place to blow off some steam from those horrid experiences than in the rants section!

I might post some personal stuff on the subject later...

Fucking Star Ocean: The last hope. That game is boring and annoying at the same time.

FFXIII. Haven't even touched the game and yet it's able to summon the fires of hell deep down from my kind narcissistic soul.

There are many other games that people praise, but I can tell without getting or trying the games that they are overpraised turds.

The first game of this kind for me was definitely Quake III. Having been disappointed by Unreal Tournament already, I was expecting this game to have a decent single player game like its predecessors. What did I get? Running around killing bots, that's what. And if that wasn't bad enough, they replaced the originally dark and dreary mood of the series with some cartoony-looking renditions of past id Software characters, and the gameplay just didn't live up to the immersion first two games in the series.

I honestly don't know how these "pure multiplayer" FPSes ever got popular. They're missing like half a game! I mean, I'm okay with mods like Counter Strike and free downloadable games like Nexuiz not having single player; but it's definitely not good for a fully commercial title.

Next up on my list is Pokemon Red and Blue versions. That's right, I went there. I am just sick of the "oh, this was the first handheld game I've ever played," or the "nothing compares to the original generation" comments I've heard from big-time fans of the series. But I honestly didn't find the games that impressive. And it wasn't the broad concept of the Pokemon series that disappointed me, but all the minute flaws that the first generation had that did.

The graphics sucked, even for their time. I mean seriously, why the hell did they have to scale up the sprites on the player side of the battle screen? It made for a very ugly effect. Another thing I hated was how disorganized your bag ended up. I never had enough room in the damn thing, and ended up having to leave behind a lot of items in dungeons because it was filled to the brim with key items. You had to constantly store stuff in your PC to balance that out, and found that to be nothing short of a hassle. And I didn't find the huge array of bugs, like the infamous Missingno or Glitch City to be all that entertaining either.

And last, and certainly least on my list is none other than... The World Ends With You. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed by a game from Square Enix than this one. Honestly, what were the developers thinking? It had all the things that could ruin an RPG: a bad plot, a confusing battle system, annoying characters, terrible music, you name it! This one had it all! I hated to whole week and mission routine of this game. It made the game so linear and formulaic, that you could predict how nearly everything would go. I clearly remember myself thinking when I first sat down to play the game "Let's see, the first week will just show you how things go. Shit starts going down on the second week, and by the third week, I'll know the main villain and end up beating them." I was three for three on that account, though I didn't want to be. I also found the ending to be quite pathetic, and the "secret" ending just made me facepalm. I don't know, this game was just a horrible, horrible experience... :X

I've honestly never had the feeling of "Damn that game sucks, why does everyone seem to like it" kinda thing. But the closest I came... And yes I'll go there to is FFVII. It just never appealed to me in the beginning. I almost quit in the first disc cause I was stuck in Midgar forever. It was kinda annoying. I was really hoping to get onto the world map early in the game, but that didn't really happen. I was kinda annoyed by the whole Chocobo system and the 20 millions different greens to feed it. To me it was just a nagging game at first - I mean now I understand the complexity of the game, its just not as good as what people make it seem. Maybe its cause I played FFIX first and its simplicity got to me and its total opposite then VII, I dunno. All I know is I was really pissed off at VII when I first started playing -- I feel like I'm ranting but that's my story
Currently playing: Final Fantasy II (Origins) (trying to beat Final Fantasy I-IX before the end of summer... 1 down, 8 to go), fully completing Vectorman.

Upcoming: Final Fantasy III, Lunar: The Silver Star (or Silver Star Story Complete, if my PS1 emulator doesn't mess up on the cutscenes), fully completing Cool Spot.
