Video Games That Shouldn't Have Been Made

[Makiir]

There was a perfect reason. 9 was an unplayable piece of crap, 10 could have been good but the Character and plot were so terrible that it scared people away, 10-2 is 10-2 nuff said.

After that they had to reinvent the series or kill it for ever so with 11 they went with the MMORPG approach which didn't work, so with 12 they tried an action RPG kind of thing which had so serious potential but not in an FF game. and when they went back to the roots with 13 they shot themselves in the foot with every other aspect of the game. and now apparently there trying the MMO thing again now that WoW is coming to a close.

They tried to make 12 into a playing style similar to Kingdom Hearts.

Have you even played either of those games? 12 was pretty much a turned based game without true turns and with the ability to move around. KH is a hack and slash with RPG elements

I bet you will edit my post again after saying this ( ) but here goes. 12 sucked because they changed it to action RPG for no fucking reason.

9 was better than 10. I doubt you ever tried to play it. They ruined it by trying to change the formula that made games like FF6 pure awesomness. Also WoW will never come to a close.

Hence why I said similar. And yes, I have played Kingdom Hearts heavily, and I have played 12.

For me, after FFX, all Final Fantasy games turned to crap. Only FFXII was okay to me. XIII made me want to kill myself for being an FF fan.

Which is why it was shit. If they wanted to try to copy something with similar gameplay then they should have gone with Star Ocean style RPG.

Or maybe Star Wars KOTR

Metroid: Other M

Not rly.

Srsly, it was. It was for everyone who had played SC3000 and SC4. Instead of creating cities you'd pick a number of buildings from a list and place them randomly next to a road. After that ypu wait until your city gets a "theme", and then... Well, that's pretty much it. Boring...

Plus, the lag was epic because every citizen and every building was animated and in 3D... Whilst the graphics were still worse then the 3D seen in SC4.

Argeed that sh#t of a game send a virus to my first computer. DAMN IT!!!!!! And the graphics were hoooorrible. Even a sumo wreserler's ASS would look better than SimCity Socities.

I'm adding homefront to my list. Its like a bad version of Bad Company 2 on hardcore mode with servers from hell.

Well that sucks, the trailer made homefront look like an interesting concept, where we have to play as terrorist in an occupied country.

Apparently that's just in the single-palyer. Multi-player takes place before the military collapses. Apparently an innovative multiplayer is the only thing semi-worthwhile in the game.

If programming were easier, wouldn't I have made a game by now? Wouldn't the oligopoly video game publishers hold just not exist? Wouldn't there be more small video game companies? Why are there only 639 Xbox 360 games in its entire library? Wouldn't there be more auteurs? If it's not programming, why do all these problems exist?

If games were easy to make, why wouldn't more games, overall, exist?
Maybe I should have said, "games take longer to make because of programming".

That's awful reasoning. I mean, for that matter, why haven't you made a film by now? Or a space shuttle?

Besides, programming isn't even half of development. Graphics take up just as much time. Plus level design, writing, audio, all the other crap. It's not just "programming is to blame for everything!".

I just can't bring myself to play a game with such a profoundly idiotic story.

Although I've suggested that the sequel be named "Homefront 2: Kiribati Attacks!".

I'm having that discussion with a friend right now.

[Mosasauria]

Godzilla: Save the Earth. Yes, it had more characters than Destroy All Monsters: Melee.
However, the graphics were somehow grainier and the movement was even more restrictive, not to mention the failure of the 'missions'.

Well it was one of those games that nailed the plot thing, and fucked up the whole gameplay thing, evidently. Every review raves the plot and assaults the gameplay.

9 was an unplayable piece of crap

Lul wut? 9 was one of the best in the series.

[Guervoy Imperiya]

CoD Modern Warfare 2 and Homefront. I am so sick and tired with everyone thinking a Red Army from Russia, China or North Korea is going to invade. North Korea isn't even Communist anymore, they're Juche!

I love how people seem to hate 9 and 8. While 8 is bad past Laguna Loire, 9 is amazing.

I think 9 cops shit because it's not "cool and dark" like 7 and 8 were.

I didn't like 8, though. The game play was shattered by the godawful Junction system. Also, Squall was the predecessor of Tidus and Vaan, so we know who to blame.

The game started to suck after you could no longer play as Laguna, the man who wields the machine gun and controls gravity.

DPRK was never communist to begin with ffs.

Yes, well, the thing about programming is that it is the costliest part of any software. Programs must be maintained as long as it can. There's also documentation problems and other things.

However, during the development of the game, drawing, modeling, coding, music, and other things are all equally hard.

Disagree. The most expensive would definitely be technology. Buying technology, buying equipment, that kind of think. Programming is just... labour.

KH is a hack and slash with RPG elements

Same with the Crystal Chronicles games, I think. At least the first one, which is the only one I've played.

Did nobody play that? Or do people ITT just have the common decency to not say that an enjoyable and rather innovative game sucks?

You're annoyed at Tidus and Vaan for being whiny and having no personality, right?

Because it would be just plain stupid to bash them for being androgynous.

Russia: some sort of capitalism, and not a free market
China: state capitalism
North Korea: totalitarian ultranationalist absolute monarchy w/ a bunch of state socialism on top
