Rome II Total War

I was amazed how a company could fuck up so hard on a game that put them on the map. Take Rome Total War, give it modern graphics and a higher scale, and add a few gameplay mechanics. That's all it would have taken. Instead, we got a DLC ridden, dumbed down mess with garbage AI and graphical bugs galore.

It depends on the person. I spent my youth playing videogames, yet my main source of information was videogame magazines. Magazines that would praise games I had no interest in, while giving little to no respect to the games that I did have interest in.

By the time the age of the internet came around, I had already lost all faith in videogame reviews. I was just surprised to see people voice their rage over the lies and deception.

>>265823497
I'm glad they ruined it for you fuckers too.

Everyone says ME3 killed the franchise but ME2 is what did it for me.
Everything about it from ME1 was a step backwards and to the side imo. In ME2 it became less of a standard RPG and became a run-of-the-mill aRPG.
Also makeo/shit companions. At least the kept Garus and Tali.

>Wow tis third person shooter with barebones rpg elements, a shit story, shit characters and my choices having no impact is great. I cant wait for 3.

ME2 is what killed the series. It was even known before 3 was released that the plot was full of shit and there was a prothean character as on disc dlc.
Anyone who was remotely hyped for 3 after ME2, got exactly what they deserved and only have themselves to blame.

I was actually okay with the change of gameplay in 2. it was a letdown, sure, but I never played Mass Effect for the combat to begin with. I was always in to the plot and the exploration. Even ME2 offered some of that by way of discovering missions by scanning some planets.

ME3 hit me hard when the galaxy was reduced to 4 hallways on the citadel.

Fable 3.
Fable I avoided hype for completely. I loved tlc too. Still one of my favorite games, definately in the top 10.

Fable 2 I fell for Molyneuxs hype. Yes it was a terribe game. But I have to blame myself for getting hyped.

Fable 3 I avoided all info on, becuase I knew it would be bullshit. I went in expecting Fable 2 at worst, thinking the devs would learn from their mistakes. No hype = no dissapointment I thought.

It was a shit game. Hype or not, I lose either way with the new Lionhead. Well old now, since a bunch of people wuit since then. Now they still milk fable and make even worse games.

DA:Origins made me cautiously optimistic about the revival of Bioware. It was still casualized compared to their earlier games, but it wasn't without merits.

DA2, SWTOR, ME3 and the SJW shitstorm coming with it made me lose all hope. It's obvious that they don't give a shit about party-based tactical rpgs anymore. It's all "we want the third person action game fanbase".

What do you expect? The majority of people behind Halo left Bungie a while ago.

Destiny and Watch_Dogs have turned me off of AAA games in general. Marketing has become more important than actually making good games.

The last time I remember a game with such marketing leading to such a letdown was LA Noire, and at least that one was kind of unique.

OH GOD I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GEARBOX GAME AS LONG AS I DRAW BREATH

>>265830615
I played it when it was released on PC (a year after xbox) and it was completely unremarkable compared to stuff I played before.

Y'all niggas saying that ME3 ruined the series are getting it wrong. IT was ME2 that killed the series for me, being with it's pointless story, being with the general dumbed down mechanics. Only fools would expect good shit in ME3.

Moving to other series, Resident Evil 5 killed it for me, due to obligatory coop and it'd fast pced, atmosphere killing action.

Destiny

Fuck you, Bungie. $40 for five missions and two strikes? Go kill yourselves. I don't even care that it's on disc.

>>265823965
Oh please tell me this isn't true. I would rather he just stop making games completely then sink to that level

Xenosaga Ep 1.

Anyone who thinks that today's "cinematic experience" trend is bad obviously never played Xenosaga. Hour long cutscenes comprised almost entirely of talking is pretty damn brutal.

>>265830905
Not to mention it contained every anime trope under the sun.

>>265829814

Dragon Age 2, and Mass Effect 3, even if I had partially given up on that already at ME2.

Also Wrath of the Lich King (at least the latter parts)

>>265831450
How many shooters honestly still hold up today? For better or worse it did a lot of things that are now industry standards in the FPS genre. At the time it was amazing because it was there wasn't really anything else like it.

You should try it again, they really made an effort to fix it. I think Diablo 3 is the result of them looking at the huge black market on diablo 2 and watching baal runs and assuming that was how people liked to play.

Rome II should have taken the steps to go back towards its original engine is the problem. Empire's engine really only works for Empire or Napoleon, but for Shogun you could tell it was starting to show its problems. Aside from the numerous amount of bugs (which probably hit their critical point at Empire) the unit collision and animations for melee combat in general were terrible. Formations did hardly anything to give you a tactical advantage when everyone would just disengage and become a blob of enemies. CA should have gone back to their original engine for Rome and updated the shit out of it or made a new engine.

And I like the new Wolfenstein. It wasn't fucking miraculous or anything, but it felt less like a CoD rip-off than Wolf '09. It felt like an old school shooter covered in newage bullshit. Which is the most we're gonna get these days.

You guys remember the ORIGINAL Ninja Gaiden 3 right?

>Piss easy easy (even on the hardest difficulty)
>Only weapon in the game was the SWORD
>Dumb enemy AI
>Made every weapon you got in past Ninja Gaiden games DLC!!!!!


Razor's edge was great and all, but the fact that people thought it was good idea to make this game and sell it thinking i would be a step in the right direction SCARES me deeply.

legend of mana itself was already wierd but still acceptable

>Rome Total War 2
I enjoyed empire once the patches and darthmod came out. Had tons of fun with it. Shogun 2 came out, and it was awful. Blatant cash grab, it was a smaller, worse version of Rome 1 and med 2. Rome 2 announced, my hype levels immediately launch into dangerous territory and i pre-order. I currently have 4 hours of playtime because of how awful Rome 2 is. I will never buy another CA game again. Instead, I will jump over to grand strategy games.

>Mass Effect 2
People who say 3 ruined the series are morons. I was in fucking high school and I recognized what shit ME2 was before I even got halfway through it. Turned ME into a shitty sci-fi cover shooter with RPG elements. Universal cool down, thermal clips, pants on head retarded plot, PLANET SCANNING. I didn't even make it to ME3. Needless to say I avoid bioware (and EA, obviously) like the plague.

>Fable 3
Loved the first 2. Didn't even get past the 30 minute mark on 3. Thank god I borrowed it from a friend and didn't pay money for it.

>red faction Armageddon
I don't really need to say anything, do I?

I could write essays about how much of a let down this game was (especially because the first game ends on a huge fucking cliffhanger it took like 4-5 years to come out), but

>First three hours of the game involve you doing a lot of boring shit as a character who proceeds to not really matter at all for the rest of the game, takes like 15 minutes to get to your first fight
>Fighting turned into "push X, occasionally push triangle to autokill an enemy, counter a bosses move, or advance to the next stage of a boss fight"
>All RPG elements besides leveling up (such as exploration, some amount of freedom in how you advance the story, actual NPC's to talk with, and random background elements to fuck with) were removed
>Main character turned into a huge retard for no reason
>disney stuff feels incredibly forced and is basically just "here's scenes from the movie rendered into 3D but with an anime dude in the background not really doing anything" instead of the original stuff that tied into the overall story from the first game
>actual plot is incredibly retarded, introduces all sorts of new shit out of nowhere to extend the game, requires you to play a GBA game so don't miss out on all sorts of shit in this ps2 game
>to pad for time the game literally says "okay, now do it all again" after you beat the (already very small and linear) levels the first time before it gives you the final boss

and you get the idea, they ruined literally every single good thing from the first game besides fixing the stupid spaceship segments (which are actually really fun now, to give it some credit) and making items worth using ever

>>265832890
>Controls were shit
>no boss fights
>huge areas with nothing to obtain in them

I guess you're just a faggot.

That bridge is getting on my nerves. What is it suspended on, good will?

>>265836308
And thus the hl2 smear campaign continues. I'm starting to wonder if EA, or some other big non valve publisher hired people to spout this non sense

good job on not actually refuting anything he said, I guess.

hl2 is incredibly lame because instead of having cutscenes you watch you have cuscenes where gordon jumps off office chairs in the corner while the characters don't react to it at all

>>265840448
Part of half life is never leaving the POV of Gordon. Even with cutscenes

Would the game be better if eli stopped what he was doing to tell you to stop jumping around like a faggot?

I just don't even know anymore who is baiting and who is really being a retard

>>265840682
half life 1 had cutscenes and never left gordons POV, it just also didn't have boring as fuck cutscenes where a scientist man talks to you for minutes at a time because it was a well designed shooter first and everything else was secondary
