Gamers Zone / Critically acclaimed games that you don't like

Did anyone here had the chance of playing "Rush Bros?" The Art in that game is fantastic, and so are some of the songs but... the game itself left me with a pretty bad taste. Too unforgiving, too frustrating.

Also... My girlfriend was amongst the first people that bought PokÈmon X and Y when they first came out... the only thing that I have to say about them is that, I'm so GLAD that I didn't have to spent MY money on either of them.

This has been my favorite franchise ever since I played PokÈmon Yellow back in 1999... that was one of the very first games that could successfully prevent me from going to sleep for several days in a row (in fact, I didn't return to my regular schedule until AFTER I finished the entire thing). I have played pretty much every installment on the series and with every new one that came out, I felt a little less attracted to the whole thing: PokÈmon Diamond felt like a chore during the majority of it and it was downright unfunny, PokÈmon Black insisted on hold my hand thru every step of the way (I kid you not) and PokÈmon Black 2 improved a LOT over those two, but still felt bland.

I would love to know why critics keep being so enthusiastic towards this series when it is obvious that it had reached it's limit a long time ago. New PokÈmons? That's a disadvantage really, as it is really hard to keep track AND most of them are horribly uninspired.

... And to think that every new Sonic game that comes out it's received like a wounded seal on a shark tank :anger

Welcome to the GOF!

Zero Punctuation is one of my favorite web series, glad to meet another fan on this random corner of the internet.

Thank you!

The same goes for me, I'm pleased to meet another fan of such delightful series (although the guy does drive me crazy with his one-frame messages and his light-speed speech, he is one of the very few on the entire internet that can draw a smile on my face).

You know? Someone got me a premium account for Minecraft (impossible to afford for me) and I still can't find the global appealing to that game. I can play it for two weeks straight if I want to, but then I end up needing two MONTHS of recess from it.

You know what I mean... those games that everybody seems to be crazy about, but when you finally have a chance to play them, you find out that they are simply average (or good but not that good).

I have many examples to share, but the one that easily tops my list is ´The Secret of Monkey Islandª.

I know, I know, it’s a great classic and all, but I honestly don’t know why most people seem to have such a high praising towards it. The game is funny and the story is clever (not to mention that great intro music that it’s still stuck on my head) but there are so many games that are far better than this one and neither of them seem to have gotten the same level of recognition. Maniac Mansion came out earlier and I find it more enjoyable, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis features a stronger story with multiple paths to choose, but it's still getting less attention than the pirates game. Not to mention... Shadow of the Comet came out a couple of years later and very few people (that I know, at least) seem to have acknowledged its existence.  

I only played Monkey Island from beginning to the end once, and that was because the first forum that I joined was full of people discussing it in every other thread, so I figured that I needed to play it to... you know... post? (yeah, they were that obsessed about it).

Another one was ´Crysis 2ª. They assured me that it was going to be good, and the only conclusion that I could draw at the time was ´I’m so glad that this have come as a giftª. The game took forever to download from my Steam library, and I didn't find it all that good to be honest.

The Legend of Zelda games are usually a missed cause to me, but I ended up loving both "A Link to the Past" and "Wind Waker".

Also, I'm not that crazy about Duke Nukem 3D.

How about you, guys?

I used to LOVE this series, but I haven't done anything MLP-related in more than three years (long story that involves many friends being... no longer friends) but I DO find this cover weird:



Shouldn't it be Scootaloo there?

^Unfortunately, you will have to wait until you reach 100 posts to do so.

you neeed to reach 100 posts first before that becomes available. which shouldnt take you too long as you're 10% of the way there already.

Ok, thank you both :)

And most welcome you are :)
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community. Don't worry about your English. Many of us don't speak English as their native tongue. My English was a lot worse than yours is when I first posted here.
To add a personal title you must go to your profile and click "Edit profile". There is a field there titled "Custom member title" into which you can enter the lines that will appear below your avatar.
Much appreciated my friend, but the option is not showing up for me. I can edit my birthday, website, location, interests, and IM IDs... but not that one. Maybe I should meet certain criteria before it becomes available? (I wouldn't be surprised seeing how it could easily be used as a SPAM source).

Also, thank you for your kind words :)

Thanks guys, you really are making me feel welcomed.

By the way guys... how do I put a personal title like the ones I'm seeing under your avatars? I searched thru all my profile options and I still can't find it.

^Actually much of it was Google Translate, although I have taken Spanish for two years in the high school I go to, and therefore, I still have some knowledge. But yeah, considering Spanish is your native language, I figured I would be humorous, like I often am. :p

Anyways, what do you like about LBT? Any favorite characters?

Well, it's been a long time since I last watched it, but I have some fond memories attached to it, including some of my very first sincere tears and how my sister and I used to watch it every time it was on *sigh* those were the days.

I do not have any favorite character, but I was somehow attached to Cera and Littlefoot.

Welcome to the GOF Midnight :) Any other tv shows you're a fan of?

Thank you.

In fact, yeah. I'm a BIG fan of the Watership Down TV Series (from one of it's forums I came here) and I'm also a confessed fan of Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs!, Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers and the list goes on and on.

Which leads me to one of the things that I wanted to say in my first post but didn't because I thought that It would kill people out of sheer boredom. For five years now, I have been in a "quest" to find and collect EVERY cartoon that I have ever watched, using old magazines and blurry memories as my only sources to find out which they were. At the time, I have found more that 500 of them, some of which I had to buy from foreign releases and in a very bad quality (my favorite show from childhood, Urikupen Kyjuoitai demanded me four years of searching and I was only able to find it in the form of a dusty VHS tape from Sweden... with that language).

Yes, I'm very obsessed xD

Alright, keep it rolling, because I'd like to do it again in English, if you please...

Hello friends! My name is Juan, I'm from Argentina, and I'm pleased to meet y'all.

I honestly don't know what else to say, except that I tend to be extremely active in the forums that I join... so you will probably be seeing me here a lot (I will try to be an interesting read).

BTW: You have probably guessed it by now, but English is NOT my first language, so you will probably be seeing some errors here and there, but I always try to keep them at the very minimal.
