Exactly. People feel protected now that it is gone.

The History Channel game "Civil War - A Nation Divided". The concept was similar to "Medal of Honor", but it sucked BIG TIME.
1. The maps were mostly huge, open feilds (for the most part) and I had no idea where I was going.
2. I was constantly getting shot by enemies I couldn't even see or that were on the other side of the map.
3. Weapon accuracy = FAIL. (I know it's the civil war era, but I would still like to have a weapon that is SLIGHTLY accurate. I had bullets shooting at almost a 45 degree angle out of my gun, while the enemies had the accuracy of Navy Seal snipers)
4. Reaload time = Fail. (again, I know it's the civil war, but come on, no gamer is going to put up with a 10 second reload time)
5.When you are doing a voice over for someone who has just been caught in a cannon explosion, it helps to make it sound like your'e in a little bit of pain.

It was a good attempt on behalf of the History Channel: The facts were all there, the events were accurate, and the graphics were pretty good, too.

But let's face it. GAMEPLAY SUCKED.

I say NEVER ALLOW THE HISTORY CHANNEL TO MAKE ANOTHER VIDEOGAME EVER AGAIN.

... Review and ranting over. You may go about your daily lives.

I got Assassin's Creed not that long ago myself, along with Fallout 3. Neither one of them could run on my POS computer. I was PISSED. :evil:

Are you sure that wasn't Miner '49er? No "2".

In reference to the Gold Rush that started in 1849....

I nearly jumped out of my pants when I saw my own avvy before I realized this was bumped. :?

Mine still stands, but I'll add Beyond the Beyond for being too generic an RPG and not telling you where to go.

I'm adding "Shadow Of The Colossus" to my previous choice, mostly because navigation FUCKING SUCKS BALLS. Humungous, open plains, caverns, weird turns and directional changes make it almost impossible for me to figure out where the hell I'm going. I've been looking for the seventh colossus for over 5 months now.

And that's another thing: The only enemies in the game are the colossi (as the plural is called in the game). There are only 12 colossi (Or some other ridiculously small number) and then it's game over. Pointless, if you ask me. Battling the colossi is pretty enjoyable, but when it takes HALF A DAMN YEAR TO FIND THE FRIGGING THING - Well, it's just not worth it.

I disagree. I rather like SoC. You just need to be better at exploring.

I once purchased a game called Airport Tycoon. It was buggy, had horrible graphics, and a user manual made for real Airport Management I think. One of my worst purchases ever.

FFCC. I am a HUGE fan of the FF series, but they ruined a PERFECT franchise with some shitty game that needs GAMEBOYS to play multiplayer even though the game was for GAMECUBE. Plus, they tell you NOTHING of what you need to actually do.

Is that similar to the infamous Bus simulator, where you drove a bus. Man that game sounds funny, must play it sometime. :lol:

I played that game beat it. I never found it as buggy. Must be your PC.

I agree that them pushing the stupid GameBoy to GameCube connector was total bullcrap, but if you (as I did) had a friend who actually had two of the connectors, the game was actually pretty damned fun. I definitely wouldn't throw it in with the other Final Fantasies though, just as I wouldn't lump in FFXI or FF Tactics.

I thought the graphics were pretty weak for a PS2 game, and I couldn't figure out the controls for the life of me. Sheepofdumb got me through to the first one, but I just thought it wasn't worth my time.

It was a RTS was game, where you had to wage war on Mordor, marching armies round the map until you came in contact with enemy armies. It was kind of cool, except for two things: First, when it went into the battle screen, you had to instruct every unit indivdually - and it was RT. When you have 300 units, this sux. Secondly, as soon as you get in a fight with an army containing Saruman, who would one-hit anything, that was game over
I tried playing that once & I couldnt even get out of the shire. I must have spent an hour & a half before I finally gave up. But I heard it was ridiculously hard

You are all WAY off. The worst game ever is Puff goes to the circus. It has to be off the market, but if you ever see your kids eyeing one at a garage sale ... RUN!
