[WolvenOne]

It's the same game every single year.

 

[PooBone]

Stupid witch fights um, angels? And then makes it to another game series which really disappointed me.

Bayonetta?

 

[Frozy]

You endlessly shoot things in a first person perspective to make a wide array of numbers go up. There's not a story even though the developers like to pretend that there is.

Borderlands?

 

[Tunahead]

Legend of Kyrandia

Still wrong!

Another hint: Both the villain in question and the annoying new comedy character are undead.

 

[Widge]

Also I'mma take a stab at this: Knights of the Old Republic?

This one. I've tried. So many times. I just cannot like it!

 

[Ralemont]

This one. I've tried. So many times. I just cannot like it!

Fits the sequel just as well, honestly.

Love both games.

 

[Jabba]

Agreed.



Okay here's another one.

This licensed franchise had 3 entries, which, while divisive, were DRAMATICALLY different from the 4th and last.

The last game went through a dramatic change because someone in charge thought the previous titles soiled the license's image.

So they dropped the name, ripped off the game that the original set out NOT to be, shortened it, and added fireworks.

-------

Another one with a similar story.

Third game in a series. So different from the previous two that most laughed it off.

Reduced the player count and added a very strange core mechanic involving the levels (essentially put magical into a somewhat realistic game). Took itself way too seriously and went straight into the bargain bin.


Hint

Spoiler

both ps360 gen. Coincidentally (probably not) from the same company.

Dunno if fair or not tr00per, last one Deadspace 3?

 

[Rödskägg]

You play as a soldier in a morphsuit/nanosuit who fight aliens. This game is usually used to test out the power of your PC. You also get a achievement/trophy just by starting the game.

Crysis

It's the same game every single year.

CoD

Still wrong!

Another hint: Both the villain in question and the annoying new comedy character are undead.

Hm, The curse of Monkey Island?

 

[sjay1994]

Boring bland FPS that has decent gunplay at best, but because it has a few witty lines, and made a nothing character something, people herald it as the best FPS of the gen.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Charlie's Angels plus Sailormoon, there's nothing more I can do for you to help you guess this.

 

[Sheroking]

Probably the only former GOTY winner that I think sucks out-loud. It's supporters like to claim it's better on PC and with mods, but the mods amount to removing giant sections of the game. It's ugly for it's day, much uglier than the developers previous release. It's filled with invisible walls and glitches. It's a series that became more open, but was pretty claustrophobic in this game.

The only good thing I can say about is that it has some fun side characters.

 

[PooBone]

Borderlands?

Close but no cigar.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Close but no cigar.

Destiny

 

[MaximusPayne]

The copycat QTE game by the sports guys that wasn't bad but was never finished. What the HELL?!

 

[sjay1994]

Not hate, just strong disappointment:
Lets get on the open world hype train and not actually try to fix any of the issues that kind of genre brings with it! Oh, what, it turned out mediocre and borderline braindead? Much worse than the original it got its inspirations from? Shit.

Second one isn't hate either, but still:
Ooooh, pretty. A bit of a busy art style, floaty controls, bad actual "combat", terrible boss fights, a story that just shits the bed halfway and the world locks you out of certain areas without warning? No it's fine, it's really pretty.

1) There a specific genre this game is in? A lot of games are open world now

2) El Shadai?

 

[Sheroking]

2) It's from 2015.

Ori?

I mean, I think it's controls are some of the tighest in it's genre ever and it's boss interactions are amazing, but the art-style stuff and the lockout bit make me think about Ori.

 

[sjay1994]

1) It's hard to explain. It's part of a large franchise that always had exploration, but this one tried to make some changes and didn't bother to fix arising issues.

2) It's from 2015.

Well, I'm stumped.

 

[Pro]

Young girl murders thousands of men because of horrible circumstance, seems to be both mentally scarred by it and strangely eager to go on another adventure afterwards.

Thousands might just be a tad of an exaggeration. You bought RotTR didn't you.

 

[sjay1994]

Here are some more.

1) This is the product you get the man who basically created a genre to make a game in a genre he obviously didn't want to make a game in anymore.

2) I just had 2 PR disasters. Now I'm melting. No wait, I just fell through the world. Oh, the game is working now? Please enjoy a game with piss poor frame rate, poor combat and movement, a protagonist with some of the worst reasoning for what he is doing, all of these pretty much destroy almost any credibility and good will this series had.

3)WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I MOVE FASTER?! I don't give a fuck about these british fireflies.


4) If it wasn't for 4 billion dollars, this universes canon would be fucked because of this game.

5) Oh wow! This big world! So much to do! Too bad the core gameplay feels like ass, the characters are unlikable shits, and thats before you get into the atrocious online portion.

 

[tr00per]

Curious as to what 1 is. I'm guessing 5 is gta v? Though if it is I disagree

Destiny

Ringading ding!

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Mine is a very easy one but I'll post it anyway. Next gen and fish swim away when you get close to them.

Dam, too slow

 

[Dangerous1992]

It's like an anime version of Scooby-Doo

Amazing avatar by the way, Remember11 is an amazing VN! Glad to see someone else loves it too.

5 is GTAV.

A hint for 1 is it came out in 2014.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Lol..COD Ghosts

Yeah but I was mocking CoD in general, hahaha. The embarrassment level was up to eleven when they said the fish ai is next gen though.

 

[Dangerous1992]

Persona 4

Amazing avatar by the way, Remember11 is an amazing VN! Glad to see someone else loves it too.

correct

Yes R11 is amazing, i feel like it's always in the shadow of Ever17 unfortunately... I love all the VN's of Nakazawa and i'm so excited for Root Double!!

 

[Tunahead]

Hm, The curse of Monkey Island?

Yes!

Bonus points also for your earlier guess of Malcolm's Revenge. I didn't even think of that, but it does fit really well. Freakin' Isle of Cats. Such an awful place.

3)WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I MOVE FASTER?! I don't give a fuck about these british fireflies.

1 is The Evil Within, 3 is Everyone's Gone To The Rapture, and I completely agree on both counts.

 

[Nealuigi]

Okay let's try.

They should have called it resident evil 4.5. With game play mechanics from that era. It felt like a game dropped out from 2004. Seriously, one hit kill enemies really. There was no redeeming horror qualities and any sort of story felt like nothing more then an excuse to have the player experience different horror tropes. I.e blood dripping from the walls or the floor falling from underneath you to transition to the next scene. God awful voice acting and boring bland and completely forgettable characters to boot.

I'm going to guess The Evil Within.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Yet I see you playing MCC over Halo 5 everytime I log in to XBL

except i don't have that POS installed anymore

 

[sjay1994]

1 is The Evil Within, 3 is Everyone's Gone To The Rapture, and I completely agree on both counts.

Ding Ding.

 

[Shaanyboi]

An open world game that gets unending praise for its setting, despite its main character being a complete idiot, being padded to death with dumb missions for AWFUL people, an attempt at edgy commentary that comes off as juvenile at best, and an entire third that gets universally shat on, yet people continually declare it as the best game of that year.

Witcher 3 or RDR xD

Is this a rockstar game? Because any of them could fit this criteria.

Thinking about the third part, its probably RDR.

 

[sjay1994]

Lol. Wolfenstein: The New Order

Everytime I see a GAF thread of someone praising this game, and the dozens of responses agreeing that its the best shooter, I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Some of BJ's lines are highlights sure, but the actual game is so fucking bland and forgettable.

I feel like my hatred surged simply because "I just don't get it".

Played Old Blood too, and that felt just the same. Bland and boring, with a few good lines from BJ here and there.

 

[JoseLopez]

Shitty jrpg franchise that has the budget of a slice of cheese. It panders to otakus with moes and lolis that are apperantly satire of the industry lol. Doodoo gameplay finishes this shit sundae.

[Angry Fork]

Universally praised but has tedious gameplay, boring story, unlikable characters and nothing to do in an empty setting with a pretty sky.

 

[iapetus]

Here are two. And no, I don't really hate games, but these both annoyed me.

Sequel to the best Zelda game of its generation that loses everything that made the first game enjoyable.

and

Massively overrated RPG, which turns out to be a linear FMV-fest with a combat system that should be awesome but turns out to be dull for all but one fight in the game.

And yes, people will hate me for both these descriptions.
