What does linearity have to do with how good a game is?ARMA 2 - What a truely god awful game.... fact !
:rolleyes:
Well, you did say say "fact" so it must be true. Though couldn't you have made the effort to be properly obnoxious by implying that you're way of seeing things should be obvious to even the simplest of dolts. Also I would have appreciated an extra "Fact!" or two sprinkled throughout your post; it's endearing.

cock band, gaytar hero etc. are just terrible and annoying. "oh they are great at parties!" bullsh1t. all they do is create unjust noise and provide a distraction for people that have nothing interesting to say in the first place.. if you are going to put on music, put on music, leave it for the drunk ppl to play bad singalong
This is very true. Rock Band needs a room to itself at a party. Music and conversation pretty much stop when it starts.
Of course, it's also the best thing ever if you're just hanging out with a few friends. I

Guitar Hero / Rock Band these games are crap, learn an actual instrument instead of wasting your time pressing colored buttons.. all my mates love them.. Waste of time.
Go out and play football/baseball/etc.
Learn boxing/kung-fu/to wrastle.
Take lessons so you can actually race a car/motorcycle/boat/plane
Join the army for the true HD combat experience.
All the games offer you is an abstraction of the actual experience. They just trick you into enjoying yourself, when you could be spending a lot more money, time and effort doing this stuff for realz, yo!

What does linearity have to do with how good a game is?
Come on, I don't really have to answer that for you now do I?
What I said was that Mass Effect is too Linear, given the potential the game showed to be so much more than that. I'm not saying that a linear game can't be great, but some games which are too linear (for the wrong development reasons/poor decisions) suffer as a result. Even the upgrade system was lazy and boring, and that should be easy to polish and make exciting. Exploration should really have been called 'Repetition'. There was nothing remotely related to exploration involved.
Anyway I thought this was simply a thread for posting what you think are overrated games, I didn't expect I'd have to explain my views. Its still a decent game, and well made in many respects, but as John Giles would say, it isn't a 'Great' game. Obviously others will have differing views based on their preferences. My real concern is the failure of the critics to point out Mass Effect 2's flaw.0 -

It was sarcasm in response to how some people previously were stating their opinion as if it were fact... and some even saying so.0 -

Play as a female. Jennifer Hale is probably the best voice actress around and absolutely knocks the shepard role out of the park. The male actor is so dull in comparison.

Argument is a set of statements based upon evidence and through logic, leads to a claim which can be disputed. The premise of this thread is to list games that you think suck (a claim, argument), not dislike (opinion) which are completely separate. I dislike playing Starcraft and most other Real-Time Strategy games (Civilization an exception), but that does not mean that I think they "suck". The opposite is true: Starcraft has great game design.
I think you are reading into a thread with the word 'suck' in the title a little too much. Relax the cacks.

You're opinion is your own and you absolutely do not have to explain your preferences. It's just I don't know if a less linear ME2 would be better. Some people use 'linearity' as a critism in every instance.0 -
