Dead Space 3, got about halfway through it, and then after I had died a couple of times and discovered how awful the check pointing was, in addition to the repetitiveness of the environments and the story just not gripping me, I gave up, was a HUGE let down compared to the previous 2, and I had a copy of Bioshock Infinite that was waiting to be played at the time and I had vowed to finish Dead Space 3 before I touched it, glad that I gave in in the end.

The games that come to mind for me that I really enjoyed were well received by critics, but gamers on internet forums seem to hate in retrospect so keep that in mind (I hope that counts):

GTA4: Despite being the highest reviewed game of this generation on metacritic and gamerankings, whenever the game is brought up in conversation on internet forums (as well as with some people I spoken to about it in person) people just start to get all violent about it, complaining about how much they hated the shift in tone as well as stripping down most of the mechanics from San Andreas, and I really enjoyed it's shift in tone and found the characters to be much more likable than before, but w/e, point is that I love GTA4, but apparently I'm in the minority along with most video games critics.

L.A. Noire: Loved the 1940s depiction of L.A. as well as the story, also thought that the game was cool just for simply being different than most other games out there, but people didn't really seem to "get it". People complained a lot that they found it boring, also didn't like Cole's reaction to some things, while I can understand the last one, I was able to overlook it for the most part because what I got was an engaging crime drama with a great story and a really unique video game. I also feel the controversy surrounding the games development with how the developers were treated sort of overshadowed a lot of the great things about the game itself for most people. Should be noted though that I'm a sucker for pulpy noir stories, as LA. Confidential, Chinatown, and Casablanca are some of my favorite movies ever made, so it just really clicked with me

Twilight Princess: Kind of a reverse Wind Waker, people seemed to love it when it came out, but now reception on Twilight Princess is much more lukewarm, I feel like the fact that it got delayed a year to be put on the Wii, and the fact that the Wii controls weren't One-to-One like most people were expecting it to be (let alone the Wii itself) has really soured people on it, but I thought that the core mechanics themselves were really good, sure, playing as a wolf was more annoying that it was interesting, but the world of Hyrule was fully realized and was huge and expansive, plus I liked how it was much darker than any other Zelda before or after it, and I really enjoyed most of the new mechanics (horse combat, running while swinging sword) as well as most of the Wii controls for using items, but I kinda understand where people are coming from, I just feel like the Wii in general has kind of soured most people on Twilight Princess, who knows, maybe if it came out back in 2005 on GameCube and acted as its swan song like it was originally supposed to instead of being tacked onto the Wii as a launch title, people would look at Twlight Princess in a much different light.

I care about endings. Sure, at the end of the day, if I enjoy most of the game up until the end, I still think it's a good game, and that's how i felt with ME3, I loved it, but I'd say that ME 2 is better, not just because of the ending, but also I liked the crew members better and thought the Loyalty missions were better than most of the missions in ME 3. Now you want to talk about a bad ending, play Assassin's Creed 3, I swear I have never been more insulted by a video game ending in my life.

@awesomeusername: They allready did a Resident Evil movie. In fact, they've done 5 of them. Anyways though, as far as what I'd want to see as a movie, probrably Bioshock or God of War, and I'd want them both gritty, R-rated but with huge budgets, but that's not likely. I'd also say Assassin's Creed, but asfter how fucking awful AC3's story was, IDK that I'd like to see a movie at this point.

@LiquidPrince: THIS. Team Bartowski FOREVER!!!

For me, the 8 Best Shows Ever would be (In No Particular Order)

Chuck, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Fringe, Firefly, Trigun, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I'm a Christan myself, but I find it super frustrating when people feel like they have to use their faith to censor out the entire world. I mean, look, when it comes down to it, all television that is not children's televison or some religious soap box has some kind of sinful element to it, but you know what? If your mature enough to know better and handle that stuff, then who cares!?!? Those that aren't mature enough to handle that stuff, they shouldn't watch it, but those that are should be fine, I mean, I'm a Christian, yet I love Quentin Tarantino movies and Grand Theft Auto, why? Because I'm smart and mature enough to know that it's just a movie or a game and not let myself be influenced by it, obviously this kid isn't mature enough to handle this sorta thing and shouldn't be acting in the first place, I mean, there are SEVERAL Christian actors out there who are willing to play roles that are against their religion like Denzel Washington, Nichole Kidman, Martin Sheen, Mark Whalberg, Zachary Levi, Kevin Costner, Steve Carrel, and Peter Dinklage just to name a few! Why? BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE FROM ACTING AND REALITY!!! THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED ACTING!!! This is just so stupid, and while I am a Christian and respect his right to voice his opinion, I just can't help but feel sorry that this kid doesn't understand the difference from reality and fiction, I mean come on.

I'm a Christian, though I'm not one of thoese annoying Conservative Political Christians you see all the time on the news. I'm a Christian who, believe it or not, believes that while Jesus is my savior, I also don't believe that religion should be mixed w/ politics because I believe that everyone, regardless of their religion, should be given equal rights, regardless of if I agree with their beliefs or lifestyles or not. For example, while I don't agree with Gay marriage, I'm also not opposed to it either because it doesn't affect my life in any meaningful way myself, also, I have friends who are Gay, and while I dissagree with their choice to act on their lustful feelings, I respect their choice to live that way and love them just the same. So, I'd say I'm a Lfet-Wing Christian, because I lean more on Liberal policies in Politics, but still hold my own personal Christian values.

For me it would probrably be Armageddon, I realize it's one of the more fondly remembered crappy movies out there, but make no mistake, it's a crappy movie, filled with several scientific errors, corny and occassionally really poorly written jokes, and is a lot longer than it needs to be, yet I love it to death. Even with the awful animal crackers scene.

@Kapalaka: Hey, atleast Yvonne Strahovski gave an awesome performance in that game! But then again, she's awesome in everything.
