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.

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.

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.

Halo Reach was a direction I hated, and I didnt buy 4, but even normalfags hated it, and it has killed the franchise. Which is probably for the best.

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.

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.

That game just made me stop being a gaming fanatic. It was the last game I pre-ordered and bought at release. Since then, I wait a couple of months to buy a game. It costs less and I can research if the game is good or not.

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.

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.

It really has improved and they clearly listen to their base.
