Highly Rated Games That You Don't Lke
I'd never owned or played through a GTA game before 4 came out, but for some reason the hype got to me and I had to have it at launch. I played for a couple hours and was kinda disappointed, the story was interesting but the controls were absolutely terrible, the framerate was hit or miss, and I guess I just got tired of killing or blowing things up quicker than I was supposed to. When all the reviews started pouring out giving it perfect scores I really, really tried get into it, but it just never happened.
I second Guitar Hero III, as stated above and for the same reason. You can just tell someone else took it over. it was like it was imitating itself.
I'm also another one who can't get into Final Fantasy, as much as I would like to. I'm a sucker for a good story and a high production value. Too bad Final Fantasy games have vastly overrated stories and outdated game mechanics. FFXII was a step in the right direction in some ways though. It hooked me longer than any game in the series yet.
"Gears of War and the entire Halo series.I don't mean to start beef, but they seem cliché because everything they do is copied. There was really no such thing as a good FPS on a console before Halo, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong I played them, but I don't see what makes them anything other than cliche shooters.

GTA IV was a let down. Too many mundane minigames trying to impress Niko's friends. Also towards the end you're just wasting time waiting for the phone call for the next mission. Pretty poor game design if you ask me and definitely not 10/10 worthy in my books. Low to middle 9's maybe...

BF - Bad Company, DICE really made me look forward to this.
Big dissapointment !
They said that you could destroy anothing, and run your tank through a house or w/e. When i started to play it, the whole thing lagged as if i was playing Crysis on a NES !
The destruction was really disapointing; you can run your tank trough a concrete house or a tree as if ti was butter, but if there's a concrete barrier or a pole that supports the house - your tank stops like it hit Chuck Norris. Also if you try to run down a tree with your tank, the tree doesnt break before its in the middle of your tank - which looks really silly.
Bad Company is a good shooter, and the shooting part is good (expept when you got the artillery, and some idiot Team Kills you). But because of all the promises DICE made, i got disapointed
