Brink was probably the most disappointing thing I ever played.
I beat the game on both sides and got every weapon mod in like an hour after getting it.
That or Duke Nukem Forever

I saw duke at a game stop for 3 bucks, worth it or overpriced?
>>
>>24806798
No. It's not worth your time. I stopped playing it in 4 hours.I bought the fucking Balls of Steel edition. Used the bust to kill a spider.
I think it's funny how it dropped to like $5 in a few months.
>>
>>24806798
Overpriced, like the other guy said the only way it would be worth playing is if gearbox paid you. It's not even bad in an entertaining way, it's padded out with stationary turret sections and the parts that aren't turrets are like an onion of every fps motif of the past decade.

I was so fucking excited for this fucking game
Pro Skater 2 is my favourite game of all time

Even though it got almost no hype I followed everything about it extensively. I lied to myself and said it would be great. It would be perfect. I EVEN bought a fucking skateboard and started skating around the neighbourhood. I literally took my skateboard to the local skatepark and spent 10 hours trying to do an Ollie. Fucked up my legs bad and got laughed at by everyone who came past. I needed this shit to be the game I LOVED in my childhood.

And they released it.
And I played for 40 minutes and realise how bad it was.
I didn't even blame the game, at first I was in denial and blamed my skateboard which I smashed against my bedroom door at 4am waking everyone up. Mum came down to a broken skateboard and me in my pants with bloodshot eyes.

Fuck this piece of shit.

>>24806751
I liked it. I heard the plot is a knockoff of some old comic book, I forgot who/what, but I don't care because reading is for faggots. I thought the flashback scenes were fucking awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. I don't mind the graphics; they were OK for its time. Of course the enemies were easy to fight for the majority of the game because that's the point - to emphasize Mercer's power. I've played through it like three times. I wish there were more mods - specifically graphical mods to bring it up to date. I didn't play the second one but I watched a playthrough and was disappointed in it - have no intention of buying it. It's pretty gay that Mercer became the antagonist and the explanation for why he's suddenly a bad guy is because of some shitty comic or whatever bridging the two games. Also the flashback scenes in the sequel were half-assed.
>>
>>24806947
The Halo lore is pretty great and there a bunch of decent books about Halo as well, which made the games 1000x more enjoyable for me after reading the books. It is fun to see the parallels of how you see it in game/how you visualized it in the books.

>>24807048
Oh, and:
>F.E.A.R. 3: It's meh. Boring, less detailed environments than 2, and could've at least had a friendly AI in place for singleplayer.
>GunZ: The Second Duel: IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME GAME AND THE CHARACTERS LOOK FAGGY AS FUCK
>GRID 2: No cockpit cam, small car list, muh DLC, I forgot what else - didn't buy it, never will
>Need For Speed World: No manual transmission, no cockpit camera, no drifting... so much wasted potential
>Need For Speed 2015: Shitty car list, shitty AI, shitty UI, no manual transmission, no cockpit cam, always-online bullshit, very limited car customization for most cars, retarded time/weather cycling - wasted potential, again
>Gran Turismo 5: Premium vs. Standard quality cars.... 'nuff said.
>Forza 4: Less tracks than Forza 3 - all it introduced was HDR and some new cars that were DLC - expected night settings and new tracks, better AI... basically everything I expected was then added to sequels - Horizon and Forza 5
>Silent Hills: BECAUSE IT GOT CANCELED FUUUUUUUUUUUU
>H1Z1: It's just complete shit right now and needs a ton of work. Almost unplayable for me and very boring. Japanese friend spent $20 because he wanted me to play it with him.

Thankfully, Gears 3 was a step in the right direction, but nothing will ever come close to the greatness of Gears 1.

No ur just shit at 2. 3 is the worst in the series
>>
>>24808357
Gears 2 is guilty of the biggest sin in the last two gens of gaming: trying to capture the call of duty audience. Scared off all the hardcore players, encouraged camping; most of those players didn't come back for Gears 3. I did, but I love the series too much.

You should pirate and play 2, tbhfam.

You're still a super OP character (obviously), same terrible writing, but the gameplay is improved, the boss fights and unique encounters are hella fun, and the graphics are better.

Add Mass Effect 3.

First one was good.
I think it was alot scaryer.
When monster was chaising and trying to hide in closet in panic was fun.
I have spend about 40 hours in game and custom stories.

everyone kept going on and on about how great the witcher 2 was, so i tried it. i played it for like 15 hours before i just gave up because the combat was shit and i had no interest in the story or the characters.

i really don't understand why it's so highly rated...

Lost: Via Domus. Dialogue sucked balls and had no impact on story, the "puzzles" weren't even hard by any means, combat was the shittiest combat ever (props to them for making it realistic though), the mocap came off as a little creepy at times, the bartering system was completely broken (I shouldn't be able to trade a few pieces of shit literally lying around next to the person you're trading with for tons of ammo)...the whole game was just a massive pandering cash in piece of shit.
.
Tomb Raider 2013 was also dissapointing but that was because it's basically COD Boobs Edition: Now with More QTE's! They also shrunk down Lara's tits to the point that they're not really even big anymore to pander to all the SJW tards and feminists and "totz a gamer!" girls. What's worse is they did it again with Rise of the Tomb Raider. The multiplayer was pretty fun for awhile...until cheaters completely broke it and the only way to play it was for you to cheat as well.

Any iteration of wow post burning crusade. Fuck you blizzard, you got me hooked on this shit then made it terrible.

MoP PvP was great. Its fucking dumb how MoP was actually a decent xpac while cata and wod are shittier. The panda one is better than the end of the world and the time travel xpac.
