@Stephen_Von_Cloud: I'll admit the combat felt alright but became quickly repetitive after 10 minutes or so. Everything else about it in my opinion was just off putting and bad.
Yeah the game wasn't well reviewed, I think I'm kind of on an island here. I liked the open world aspects and the look of it too.
@Donkeycow: I liked Sacred 2 a lot, and I was playing on the Xbox 360, the inferior version. Too bad they couldn't support it any further with updates. But Sacred was never, and never tried to be, a 'Dragon Age', but more Diablo than anything.
Fear 2. Crysis 2. Bioshock. Syndicate. Whenever a game I like (pc game) becames console focused, I avoid it like the plague. At best it's a steam sale.
Stop it. As OP said, you not liking something does not mean it is bad. It's a sure-fire way to sound like an asshole, though.
From his other posts I've seen he is, and a troll.
Back on topic: Darkest of Days, any Marvel game from Sega, Brink, Naughty Bear, and Splatterhouse.
Raccoon City: Characters looked obnoxious, the guns all sounded like stock sound effects, shooting special ops guys in a laboratory with generic cover shooting. Why?
F3AR: It would be enough just to point out that the game actually uses a 3 instead of E, and that would be enough proof. But the series lost its way with the second game, and the third game even more so.
There's no such thing as an objectively good game because what I enjoy might not be what you enjoy. You can argue all day long about why such and such is a great game in your eyes, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to give a fuck.
I don't have an on topic answer.
Bollocks. I think fighting games are terrible. I get no fun out of them in the slightest. That doesn't mean I think Street Fighter IV is a bad game, far from it. You can easily look at games objectively.
Damnation. I KNEW it would be really bad, but I still found it enjoyable, and I beat it, unlike Uncharted 2... which I think says something about me. The multiplayer was also fun the few hours it had a community.
The First Templar was also pretty lame, but I also really enjoyed playing it.

Well yea, it does. It's totally subjective. I can objectively explain why (someone already has quite eloquently) I have this personal preference. . The whole thread comment is logical fallacy. I answered the question, you seem to be simply upset about it and so attempt to insult me for doing so. It's quite juvenile. But this is a gaming forum, I wouldn't expect anything less.
So when I first read about the changes being made to Ninja Gaiden 3 my initial reaction was that the game would probably be bad. They were taking away the complexity of the combat, the difficulty, and some of the upgrades in favor of a dumbed down game to appeal more to the masses. Well as we all know the game that came out was just a bad game that neither old fans or potential new fans would like.
This got me thinking, what games did you know would be bad just by reading/watching some of the coverage of it?
Before you name the game please limit it to games that are actually bad and not games you dislike. Every time I see GTA, MGS4, Mass Effect 2, to name a few, listed as bad games I just want to strangle that person. JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S BAD.
If some one doesn't like a game and can articulate why, then they are bad games. But saying a game is bad is just an opinion. For example i liked Dragon age 2, but i don't get on everyone's ass who says its a bad game, because that's an opinion.
I thought Mass Effect 2 was a bad game, because it lost a lot of the charm, and the appeal of the first one. A lot of what i invested in for the first one, and thought, and was lead to believe was going to be there for the second one was not there.

I have already given a response to this very same question twice now. Go look back at it. Please, it's on the second page.
I have to second Dragon Age 2. Before the game came out, all of the artwork and in-game UI just looked.. abysmal. It had no style, just.. brown. It managed to look even worse than DA:O (which didn't look all that great either). And it was kinda just pushed out with hardly the emphasis that DA:O had, I don't think they even made their typical CG trailers for it. It was clearly a rushed product set to bank on the success of the original.
Not to mention that they were doing the ridiculous pre-order bonus for an entire extra character. That sent up huge red flags to me.
Brink and Medal of Honor are the two big ones that come to mind. I had friends hyping the everloving shit out of those games and well...need I say more? Is it me or once you reach a certain level of gamerhood, you can just tell when a game is going to just not be good? I'm not saying you can see into the future and you're right 100% of the time, but you just know...like you just know deep down in your soul that 'that game' is going to be shit.
SWTOR and Rift aren't all bad per se, but ....yeah....I just won't go there. At least not here. I have to just say though, as far the "We're not in Azeroth anymore" thing went, it's somewhat true for a lot of people, but we sure the fuck ain't in Telara anymore either. As far as SWTOR goes, I forgot who said it, but some journalist said like 2 sentences about the game that just completely destroyed any hope I personally had in that game. What Bioware 'did' is completely genius, lazy, and dangerous and I could talk about it forever (I am a wannabe game designer after all lol, a real programmer though if that counts for anything haha). I heard those few sentences and was like "holy fuckin shitcakes, he's right" but ahhhhh let me shut up and not derail this thread.
I also thought fear 2 was a good game, not exceptionally good but not as bad as a lot of people seemed to think. I thought it was much better then fear 3.
I remember being aprehensive when dragon age 2 was in development. I could smell that turd from a mile away.

Nope, I'm with you. I actually didn't mind that game at all.
Its not as bad as everyone says it is, its not the best game ever, but then again, can you really say there is a game out there that is a perfect 10? I never seen one.
