The crappiest games come in 3's.

Gobliiins: These are supposed to be puzzle/adventure games. I'm supposed to be rich. Its even spelled with 3 i's for crying out loud.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3: The beginning of the end. New mechanics, new look, level designs all for the worst in my opinion and the model for all following games in the series.

Tomb Raider 3: ^Ditto. There is no "tomb raiding" in this game I don't even know how it can be called so. Every one after it gets worse but all blame goes back to 3. A let down and pure crap to any Tomb Raider fan.

Tony Hawk 3: ^Trend continues. A Thrasher sequel could've stopped Tony in his tracks. The gameplay is sped up and frame rate completely clashes with the graphics. Its too fast, its not Tony, and it set the stage for all future games to be ruined. Why does this happen?

Grand Theft Auto 2 (but you might say technically 3 after the London pack): Huge letdown after being such a big fan of 1. Just a completely different game really. The peds were weak, the graphics were nice but really out of place, and the whole matchbox/real world vibe of the original is completely lost. What is leftover is a pissing match between 3 gangs, none of which really make it worth your while to woo. Considering how many dog the original for being a crappy idea with the view it had, this one really shows how bad it could've been.

Kings Quest 8: I really tried to give it a chance and came to admit the undeniable crappiness. I can appreciate new characters and new 3D graphics with real time action. I can take a mediocre story with pixel hunting inventory searches. I can't appreciate being forced to run from or die by 10 pixel wide spiders. You used to be turned into stone or a pile of dust, or even eat Nightshade. What happened here?

Uniracers: I don't even want to acknowledge a cult fixated on unicycles with eyes. Such a crap concept that any level of decency in execution is nullified.

Soul Caliber: This will probably be the death of me but this is the most uneventful and uninspiring fighting game I have ever played in my life. I'd actually rather play Virtua Fighter and just float around half the match.

Spider-Man & the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge: :blink:
I'll have to come back to this there are plenty worse games.

I'm sorry, I must have had something in my eye, but I could have swore I read some horrible, horrible person talking negatively about two great games!

Tony Hawk 3 is too fast? Well, i've no idea what you mean by that at all, i've gone through the game and can perform tricks and jumps with utmost accuracy. In my opinion the first two were a bit slow...

Also, if it "set the stage for all future games to be ruined", then explain the millions of $ worth of sales, the hundreds of glowing reviews, and the thousands of excited fans? I know it's just my opinion, but I believe that the Tony Hawk franchise, while a bit too overdone, is a blast to play.

Actually, GTA II is one of my favorites. I have only barely played the first one, but I doubt too many fans were disappointed...altogether the game is a great timekiller and absolutely exhilrating if taken in small to medium doses. Example: the first red Yakuza mission in which you have to jack your Wanted level up all the way, kill a SWAT team, steal their van, and floor it across town before you're reduced to rubble.

I think more people need to read Eagle's post earlier in the thread.

What? No more CN47? Ok, there are loads of crappy games out there, so let's hear it.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I love it when people bash Dark Alliance and then say that the immensely cheap rip-off for everyone who owned number three or two, Ultimate Mortal Kombat III was a good game.
Such irony.

Caesar III: It's a mess. I mean, the game is nice in the beginning, but later on, when your city has to be of a certain size, it becomes frustrating to see how the trading and storing gets funked up. I know that you should keep the number of intersections at minimum, and that two lane roads prevent the streets from being jammed, and that it's important to keep the ware houses, factories and docks close together, BUT they still manage to get it messed up. Two lane roads: Watch the cart getting pushed down the road and then turn back before reaching the intersection, because the game thinks that two lane roads are just lots of intersections. Watch the ships docking at the wrong dock consistently, so the carts have to be pushed all over the map. Watch the market woman walking to the granary on the other side of the map instead of to the one next to the market...
I haven't found a way to make a "chain of granaries" work. I need them when the farm land is far away from the other side of the city. The "Get Goods" doesn't make much sense to me.
There is no way in hell you can design a large city where everything works close to "accepted".

Well what made it different from any other FPS? Shouldn't that opinion be general then for many FPS games, and not just MoH:AA?

You...you dare insult one of the greatest classics ever released?

Frontline is revered by countless fans, websites, and magazines. I haven't seen one official score that wasn't in the "Awesome" range...

It is one of the most fun games i've ever played for the Playstation 2, the D-Day level was entirely unforgettable, and even though it's only your opinion, it's sheer blasphemy in the face of a perfect game.
