This is the topics about the BAD games you would recommend people to avoid.
AVA - Aliiance of Valiant Arms
This F2p title is one of the Many CoD clones but what makes this game terrible is that it has none of the CoD balance.
Pretty much you have to gripe the first few levels because the weapons you start with are worst than garbage.
after that its pretty much- He who has the better weapon wins as opposed to skill level.
If you want to play a FPS MMO and have FUN, this should be in you blindspot.

Never ever ever eververEVER buy the first-generation fighting game from Capcom.
Street Fighter IV - Super Street Fighter IV
Marvel VS. Capcom 3 - Ultimate Marvel VS. Capcom 3
...as well as the older versions (how many iterations of SFII we had? And we just gobbled 'em up)
It's stupid. You KNOW that in a year they will have the "Super" or the "Ultimate" version of the game game, at a lower price, with more characters/stages/music as well as everything unlocked and with less bugs.
-
Good point.
-
To me it's growlanser generations for the ps2 it's not only(the gameplay was like what, it was so odd to me I don't know why but damn it just did not click and I play all kinds of games) that I did not get it but for me it was boring.
-
Lester the Unlikely.
-
Player Manager on Ps1.
U cant finish the game. After 5 years, it just stops and go´s black screen. And no, its not just my copy, it happens with every copy out there. Fail production...
Spiderman 2 - A game full of glitches...
-
Recently I found myself hating El Shaddai for the 360/PS3. I could definitely see some people liking it, but it's HIGHLY recommended that you try the demo and/or rent the game before you buy it. It's nowhere near what I thought it would be.
-
I would not recommend buying X-Blades for the PS3 and Xbox. Sure, the heroine may be cute and scantily clad, but thats all the game has going for it. :p

Saddly, i've got the game, hopping for something better that that, but it's game play got repeatitive and i gave it up, after a week of play.

I agree with El Shaddai, or its demo at least. That was seriously not fun or interesting at all to me.
I'm gonna catch crap for this, but I personally wouldn't recommend Metroid Prime 2. So far it's the only Metroid to date that I haven't enjoyed (still haven't played Prime 3 or Other M though). I hated backtracking, the light/dark ammo thing was kind of annoying after a while, and I died often enough on bosses that I kind of wished they'd have put the save stations closer to the boss rooms for the sake of convenience. But the missable scans probably annoyed me the most. I'm really nitpicky when it comes to completion percentages in a game, so it drove me nuts when I'd have to fight a boss a good number of times: I'd forget to scan each part/phase the time that I finally did beat a boss, and then save without realizing.

How about all those perverted homemade games for the Atari 2600? Custer's revenge to name but a few. ;D

Watch the Angry Video Game Nerd. He has an episode that documents these games. You'll probably laugh and cry at the same time.

Xenosaga "franchise killer" 2, if only I had looked at the reviews beforehand, I had no idea this game would be a piece of shit when I bought it for cheap and I felt robbed in the end. The game's battle system bored me to death and was convoluted as fuck, there were no towns to stock items, equiptment's OR weapons(you were stuck with one weapon the entire time and healing item's were obtainable by winning battles) and it had the easiest final boss in a JRPG outside of Yu Yevon. The only saving grace was Albedo's origin story and even then I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy, I'd rather recommend Final Fantasy 13 and Metroid Other M before recommending that piece of shit, hell I find it amazing that Xenosaga 3 turned out great after that crap of a game.
Oh and did I mention It killed the series? Thanks alot Xenosaga 2.
-
As one of the Mega Man fans that decided to give the Battle Network series a chance, I can say that BN4 is a must-avoid, what with the frustrating scenarios (that you sometimes have to repeat) and nearly 300 fuck-ups in the game as evidenced by Epee Em of Something Awful's LP (http://lparchive.org/Mega-Man-Battle-Network-4-6/) (granted, some fuck-ups are so severe that they counted as multiple fuck-ups).
-
Venetic is a must avoid, I thought it had an interesting story, but appon purchasing the game i found a crappy fable clone, with a really poor delivery, amount horrid amount of glitches.
-
Haunted Castle.
It's a piece of shit.

Dude, only the American version is unreasonably hard. :-X

Then...
Haunted Castle (US)
It's a True turd.
-
Haunted Castle isn't so bad if you just take it very slowly and cautiously. Some of the enjoyment if finding enemies and details that pop up later in the series, like the crumbling bridge before Drac's tower, the stained-glass knight, and obviously turquoise-armor Simon.
I wouldn't recommend Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. Way back in 2003, it was painful to see something so hyped blow up in my face. It's a buggy, completely unfinished mess. Only the first level, Pear Harbor, is complete. The rest is rushed with horrid visuals.
As for something more recent...I'll probably say Ace Combat: Joint Assault. It's a decent time-killer, I guess, but so many of stages are repetitive and drawn-out. The game was made with the expectation that you would play Single Player mode online, but even when the game was released very few people did so. Even though it was released at the end of last year, hardly anybody is online anymore. Oh well.

I watched a friend of mine play that game. I have no idea why they tried to make the characters look realistic given the anime visuals from the first game. It was certainly awkward. Wasn't there supposed to be like 6 Xenosaga titles?

I think the latter 3 were cut because of the franchise's relative lack of success.

A Bug's Life (GBC) NEVER HAVE I RAGED SO HARD
I hate this game so much that when i decided to try shaving the sides on a GBC game to fit it in my DS to see if it would work, (dont ask) It was my guinea pig. Sadly, it still works. But only on a GBC now.
-
megaman x7 for PC.
it´s worse than the ps2 version.
if you are a megaman fan or a gamer without preferences,you must avoid it.

i hate battle network series.
too good it´s just a spin-off and not a canonic sequel.
-
Battle Network stopped being good after 3.
Although 6 was pretty good, and a pretty good ending to the series, it was too easy to get good chips really early on, and therefore the game was too easy.
-
ANY annual/ bi-annual games.
They are just the same shit you played last year with minor updates.
-
If you're interested in trying one of the games from the Bloody Roar franchise, avoid 4 at all costs. They didn't call that the franchise killer for nothing. Plus, the series started going downhill after 2 anyway.
On a slightly unrelated note, remember when beingthehero mentioned that there were supposed to be 6 Xenosaga games? Yeah, apparently Xenogears was supposed to be part 5...or so I heard.

Uh.... actually....
There should only be one xenosaga game. Or rather, Xenosaga 1,2 and 3 are supposed to be part one of a 6 part series of which Xenogears was supposed to be part 5 of.
Or so I've read.
-
Xenosaga is a reboot of the series, with similar themes and concepts. Xenogears was part 5 of it's own series, or at least, part of a pre-planned series. Xenosaga exists within it's own structure, though, yes, the Xenosaga series as it currently exists, encompasses what was originally supposed to be the first two games, and the first of three arcs that spanned 6 games.
-
I didn't think it was a reboot more than a game sharing similar themes. I mean, all the Xeno series seems to share those themes(Xenoblade, included). Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade, all part of the Xeno series, share similar concepts, but all are different.

Yes, and no. There are very clear references to the previous incarnations of characters within Xenogears such as Grahf, Kim Kasham and the existence of Billy, Rico and Bart's Animus gears that it is strongly hinted at were piloted by those characters previous incarnations. Alot of those connections are never brought up or dealt with in Xenosaga. Yes it's difficult to know for sure what the intention was and if the direct connections would ever have been made but since we only saw the first arc of what was meant to be a 6 arc series. I've read two theories about Xenosaga 1, 2, 3 however, one is that it was as Kale said, part one of an intended 6 part series. The other is that Xenosaga 1 is one half of part one of the intended 6 but after sales were less than stellar the idea was scrapped and rewritten so that part 2 and 3 cover most of the intended elements of the remaining 4 1/2 parts of the story leading up to Xenogears... Of course part of the trouble making Xenosaga fit into Xenogears is the fact that Square produced the first game and Namco couldn't have the game be a direct prequel or sequel.
-
My theory was from Gfaqs goers, who have claimed to have read the Perfect Works Book, which details the story in it's entirety. I've never read it myself.
-
Games not recommended for this year: All of them except for Dark Souls.
All other games that came out this year fucking suck and I'm not counting HD remakes because game devs are finally realizing that all these new gen games suck so they're going back and re-releasing some actual good games.
-
Hm. I wasn't crazy about Dark Souls. Dunno why I couldn't get into it... I did enjoy Demon's Souls however!
As for games to avoid:
Infinite Undiscovery
This game is kind of terrible from the very start. It's one of the most clunky and cumbersome RPGs of this generation. Also, I hate the art direction. I can't believe this was made by the same company who brought us Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile...
