Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
PS2 is the best console because it has the best games. You do, however, have to buy a bunch of peripherals that basically turn it into an XBOX.
What games do you hate, yet are popular with others?

Oh my God, how could I have forgotten Halo? I hate that game. I consider it the most overhyped and overrated piece of mediocre crap that ever polluted my hard drive. I refrain from urinating on the CD because I consider even my piss to be more valuable than that heap of shit.Mohrg6sic6 said:

Poor story (if any), no emotional involvement, just a showcase for the engine.

Counter-Strike: Source
After playing it for weeks, it was glaringly apparent just how much Valve had ruined a perfectly good game. The punk-ass server admins that balance the game in favor of their cry baby friends don't help much either. CTs can't camp, but Terrorists can kill all of the hostages with impunity? What the fuck ever, bitch.
I just hope they don't ruin Day of Defeat.
Baldur's Gate:
A game that won't work with Nvidia chipsets? OH WHAT FUN! Getting slaughtered by a bear in the first wilderness area was fun too, (ie, it wasn't) because I was unaware of the Real-Time w/ pause.
Neverwinter Nights:
I still don't understand why its so popular. I've heard almost nothing about the mod community that the game was supposed to thrive on, which was the glaring intention of the game's designers who made a game that tried to do to RPGs what Half-Life did to the FPS.
Interesting fact, though: Half-Life was fun.

As I'm sure most of you know, Half-Life has survived this long because of the modding community. Without it, Half-Life would have been a really good FPS for its day but... That's it. Because of all of the mods and crap, it was pretty much ambrosia to many people. I remember spending countless hours owning idiots on Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, and Firearms. Those were the days. - Colt

I disliked the GTA3 games. other people spout it off as a grand mark in gaming history, which i guess it is, because it managed to get the mass market into gaming. it reminds me of morrowind, in that you have a huge world with different things to do, but what it really boils down to is completely a long line of lifeless quests.
i just started replaying arcanum again. I've yet to play the whole time through, each time losing interest, or, the first time i played it, getting stuck in the black dwarven mines or whatever they're called. this time i'm playing as a magic character, which i previously thought was fruity. (i'm not big into magic/fantasy. I more like sci-fi, but the tech characters in the game seem kind of underbalanced.)

Only that Arcanum had, what, 9 magical disciplines? That's 45 spells.
Magical characters did have it easy, though. If you learned the Teleport spell, you had it made in the shade. I reached the 50 level cap half-way through the game as a Technologist because of all the ecounters in the wilderness. It was hard to continue the game since my character (and ESPECIALLY my NPCs) weren't advancing at all. Virgil goes off, gets some kickass spells, (at a lower character level, no less) and I can't level him up anymore? BS.

Arcanum has the greatest number of trash stats, skills, techs and spells in any game ever. They were so unbalanced.
My first character: Dodge 5, Melee 5, max out Strength and Dexterity, get the speed spell and Teleport. If you have the greatsword that can hurt all enemies without taking damage, nothing can even touch you.
My second character: Get elephant gun. Max out Dexterity for APs. Shoot everything on sight, use no other skills or techs. Yawn.
Yeah, you could try role-playing a "plant mage" or "chemist" or whatever, but it was so bloody obvious what was useful and what was not.
Still fun though, but nowhere near BG2.

9 that were worth investing in, then.

always looking for water.
OMG dont get me talking about Arcanum.
Level 50 level cap?!? So I gotta play the game about a dozen times to get to use all the different technological skills? Oh and another dozen for all the spells of a mage? No F***'en way!
Ya and many abilites were wayyyyyyyyyyy too unbalanced.
I also remember not using others at ALL.
