ITT: Terrible games that you love unironically
>Alpha Protocol (2008)
>implying it's terrible
Replaying at least once a year.
TURN UP

>>336378652
>terrible games
No.
>>336377321
The character/story part is actually quite great, it's just that the gameplay is quite clunky and buggy
Come at me.
>>336378796
I totally forgot this was even released.
>>336377321
it has flaws, yes, but it's not a terrible game at all
>>336377321
>tfw no Omega Protocol with fully costumizable femMC...
>>336377321
>Hacking takes a dozen attempts to get used to and then it's laughably easy
>Only worthwhile combat skills are fists or pistols
>TURN UP
>THE RADIO
It's really fun, actually. Would love a sequel that fixed the clunky gameplay.
>>336377321
Wish this had gotten a sequel
They're not even terrible, just budget rearing its ugly head, but I like both Game of Thrones RPG and Of Orcs and Men.
>>336379071
This. It was a stellar game, Mass Effect could have learned a few things from it.
>>336377321
But I loved that game, it was old but shit it was good.
>>336378920
DA2 probably had Bioware's best MC to date. Sarcastic Hawke just works, especially in DLC.
>>336377321
Apparently nobody but me liked the squad sized gameplay and instead want the army RTS stuff from DoW1 back for DoW3.
>>336379532
Deadly Premonition is up there in my favorite games. That being said, it does have a good amount of flaws
>>336379634
For all that everyone will say "later Mass Effects did good by removing incremental skill improvements in favor of flat out abilities" I'll still take Alpha Protocol's skill system.
>>336379532
Fuck yes. Best worst game I've ever played.
>>336379961
I loved retribution desu, playing it online was really fun, I also dont give two shits about basebuilding and dont understand why its so important to people, considering how shallow it was anyway
>>336379623
>Game of Thrones RPG
massively overlooked game. yeah, it definitely hurt from limited budget and lack of polish, but that fucking story. that's how you make good use of a license for a video game.
whats not to love
>>336378920
I wouldn't say terrible, it had a lot of good things
Can we all agree that Alpha Protocol is the Steven Seagal of vidya?
>>336380654
And that makes the whole experience so heartrending. There was a really good game there under all the bullshit.
yes
Two Worlds
Donkey kong 64, I guess.
>>336380387I SEE NO HEAR NO EVIL[/SPOILER]
>>336378796
It still hurts
>>336377321
Alpha Protocol came out in 2010
>>336377321
Truly one of my favorite games ever.
>>336377321
I was really close to joining up with Leland and becoming a war economy tycoon. Ended up beating the shit out of him and ditching town with Heck, who was the only handler at that point who liked me.
>tfw Brayko can't be a handler for the final mission
>>336380843
Pretty accurate. Low tier story and characters, awful in every aspect, but you get to bring the Seagal factor:

>>336380903
I loved it anyway
The criticism is way overblown
I don't understand why
I mean I can see the flaws but the hate and vitriol is insane
Inquisition is worse in a ton of ways except graphics and performance
Because inquisition managed to perform about the same while looking much much better
Yet the characters looked worse design-wise
>>336380025
>stealth and pistols
my nigga
Shadowrun multiplayer FPS for xbox 360/pc
>>336377321
Do Dragon's Dogma and The Force Unleashed count? So many glitches, graphics issues, poor animations, sometimes broken gameplay, but I love them.
Love is too strong a word. Like though.
Dynasty Warriors 6
>>336380025
>stealth and pistols
>not toughness and martial arts
Why sit behind cover plinking at guys when you can run up and beat the shit out of them?
>>336378920
Good things it had
Best companions by a mile and best companion interaction.
A concise story that didn't drag on like DA:I
Making me actually care about these characters and their struggles like hawkes mom being murdered his uncle finding his daughter etc
The rivalry and friendship system is honestly one of the best relationship systems bioware has done.
A great set up for the next game
Pretty good dlc
Things it did badly
Very casualized combat
Backtracking and reused assets out the ass.
Too short for a 60 dollar game even with the dlc
Didn't really tie in well enough with the last game for me
All in all its a flawed but still pretty good game. If they hadn't rushed it to make Mass effect 3 or 2 or whatever they were working on it probably would have been as good as the first one
>>336377321
>>336378920
Other than the enviroments and ending it was better than inquisition. Better companion interaction (shame they ditched friendship/rivalry), sidequests that were integrated into the plot, different Hawke personalities actually making things different (like ruthless let you side with the church fanatics in act 2 against the qunari).
Also only game in the series that you needed to put any thought into when fighting on nightmare difficulty.
>>336383137
Terrible game? How dare you.
>>336377321
>>336383314
Well, it was given a cold reception
>>336383125
TLDR
>>336380387
Where are the DAMN chaos emeralds?
>>336383564
My ultimate nigga
>>336378652
Why do you have to remind me of what they did to ME2 anon?
Why?
>>336377321
>terrible
>>336386762
ME2 came out?
>>336387337
The beta did, and there's gameplay on YT.
It's awful.
It basically has all the trademarks of a shitquel:
>m-m-m-muh open world
>collectibles
>"run to X in Y minutes" sidequests
>runners are some fucking anti-corporate urban guerilla group now
>runner vision literally shows you where and how to go anytime
>>336377321
The Anvil Hoarder: The Videogame (2008)
It didn't really catch the feeling of the original kino and multiplayer had some issues, but it was pretty good regardless.
>>336381039
I fucking love DK64
>>336377321
Sonic 06. It has tons of problems, but to me it still has an amazing soundtrack, and it's the last 3D sonic game to me, the SA3 we almost got.
>>336381039
>>336389754
Dk64 wasn't a terrible game. I liked it, it had too much collection, but I think terrible is too harsh
>>336389923
I could handle everything but the gameplay glitches. I want an SA3 so bad. So bad.
It had good world building and really graphic moments that I wish were in games more often.
I did buy it on sale though.
>>336390063
Me too anon. If only they delayed the game another 6 months - year, it would have the polish that the game needed and would have been what everyone wanted. Sadly after that they kept deciding every time they needed to reinvent the wheel. Sonic Secret Rings, Rush, Unleashed, Lost World, Boom. I kind of wish they had made another Lost World game, because with more work it might actually feel like the adventure games.
>Resident Evil 5
I confess.
>>336390561
>ps3
Hahahhahahahaha
>>336377321
come at me
>>336387705
a lot of those things... are in the first one too?
>>336390758
My nigga.
I loved the blend of norse mythology and cyber aesthetics. If only it got a proper sequel.
>>336390958
lol no mention of the god awful gameplay then?
>>336383008
Because then you get absolutely fucked by a russian drug addict
Sometimes, I look back at beta footage shown to public and cry myself to sleep , then I look at the newest sequel and contemplate suicide
Been a couple years since I've played Alpha Protocol, but one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was that whenever you had a choice to execute someone, killing them was always the wrong decision to make. Letting characters live never bit you in the ass later down the line, you always got an immediate benefit.
>Alpha Protocol was meant to be a trilogy like Mass Effect
>Production stopped on sequel because sega pulled out
Absolutely tragic, it's probably the greatest example of a game that had issues, but had massive potential to develop into something amazing
>>336383564
>We will never know what happend at the end
>>336391012
I don't get it
My biggest issue with AP is that the suave personality just does not work
You really need an English accent or whatever for it. I get it's meant to be like James Bond or whatever but it just doesn't work with an American accent, he just sounds like an unfunny asshole trying too hard.
>>336379532
This right here.
>Insane scale and epic battles
>Unique setting
>Surprisingly good story
>Beautiful music and artstyle
The actual "game" part was shit however. Very little real gameplay, and whenever you were in control, it was really shallow. But everything else in the game is so perfect it doesnt matter
