Personally, I have to say that the game Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS is a video game that should never have been made. It's an utter pain in the ass. I have never played it, but my little sister Terena (she's seven) constantly plays it and the music kills me.

MINOR/BLAAT 2016: They'll Drink To That For America
Dumb Ideologies - NSG is argument porn
Greater Cabinda - You are the Drunken Master.
Nanatsu no Tsuki - Titty... titties are so beautiful.
Ailiailia - It's Minoriteeburg, our cheap substitute for Drunk Commies.
The Blaatschapen - Now, if there exists a person with two penises, he can shave the pubes of the right one that way. If he then gets an erection he could say he's doing a Nazi salute.

Final Fantasy a fun game?

QUICKLY, WE NEED TO GET THESE PEOPLE THE BADASSERY OF THE BATTLEFIELD SERIES AND THE PURE LULZ OF THE HALOS OR THEY WILL DIE NURSE!

How is an rpg fun? Where are the flying warthogs, the hilarious noobs, the ninja snipers, the random nades, the epic snipes, the crazy MP vehicular combat, and most of all, where's mah CTF?
"Quod Vult, Valde Valt"

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

I don't understand why actual storytelling and slower-paced gameplay is completely and utterly incomprehensible by the mindless FPS crowd.

Plus you can't headshot most random encounters, ha ha.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

What lag and bugs specifically? Because I played the Demo and it wasn't laggy or buggy to me. The only reason I'm not playing it now is that I'm not really that big of a Star Trek fan.

Well lesson learned, never take advice on buying a Star Trek game, from someone who isn't a Star Trek fan.

:rofl: Touche. The ONLY complaint I had about the game was the ship control system didn't feel natural to me. They should've either used the EvE system or a joystick.

Whenever I tried to sprint, the movement of the character would "float" as if they're not really running. Same with other animations. It freezes and then suddenly moves. Don't know if it's from internet connection (it wasn't that bad for other online games) or if it's from my hardware, but that's the only complain I have. It makes it hard for me to hit the enemy.

Course, it wouldn't be that big of a deal if it hadn't caused numerous moments of near-death experiences. >_>
