Metal Gear Solid 2 is definitely number one. I disliked so much of it so much that despite always meaning to try Snake Eater and MGS4 I just never bothered - and I still don't care much about what Kojima's going to do next.
On the bright side... I'll always have the "Ear Pull", "A Hind D?" and "You're reckless. You haven't saved often".
I love the XBox the ecosystem, I love the UI, I love the look of the physical unit itself but on occasion I find myself letdown by the performance (this applies to the PS4 as well).
I left the 360/PS3 in favour of a PC for purely performance reasons. I'm not a snob, a solid 30 with reasonable graphical glitches works for me but in the last years of the 360 and PS3 it was becoming very clear that the systems were just not built to handle what was being released. I got 5+ years out of both consoles so whatever, it was still money well, WELL spent.
I assumed when I dove back into consoles we'd have a least two or three years before the screen tears, frame dips and load times reared their ugly heads again but it seems both consoles were almost instantly underpowered, leaving me a little sour.
As a massive BK fan I was instantly turned off by the name and the concept and in turn I'm a little let down but not surprised by the end product.
The whole "Ex-studio developers assemble to gather funding from nostalgic fans to re-create off brand version of a beloved classic" has quickly become (for my personal tastes) one of the most unreliable ventures in the videogame industry.
This one is made that much more egregious by attaching it to the idea that Nutz n' Boltz wasn't an amazing game.
On the brightside: I've only played a bit and watched a bunch of videos and I will most likely buy it when it goes on a good sale.
I bought it day one and tried to get into it multiple times. Every single element of that game felt either dated or poorly implemented to me. I still can not wrap my head around what people liked about it.
Definitely didn't have the perfect pacing that I've loved about all Burr's previous specials, and sometimes I felt like he was trying to hard to push buttons.
I enjoyed it, definitely some super funny bits but more lulls than I expect from ol' Billy Rednuts.
Nintendo has said all games must work in three modes...
The idea that Nintendo is planning to go out to third-party developers with list of system specific demands (potentially similar to the one that chased developers away from the WiiU) worries me more than it reassures me.
