12 Great Games with Dreadful Moments on all platforms.

OXCGN:

"It's a fact; no game is perfect. Each and every game has some flaw, some issue, whether it's a game breaking bug, a poor development choice or something else. AAA games with top reviews are no exception.

Here are 12 great games on All Platforms listing some of their flaws that some gamers might not notice but that others would find annoying. These issues may even have made some gamers put the controller down in total frustration and simply walk away from the game altogether.

This Top 12 List will focus on key moments that gave me and other gamers trouble, frustration and general annoyance."

BadCircuit5287d ago

Some of the games in there are surprises. I have the worst moments when a game is repetitive in its level design or its environment is all the same. Variety is what I like in a game.

gaminoz5287d ago

Too right. I like diversity to explore too.

ReservoirDog3165287d ago

I think most are justifiable. I hated a lot of those points.

The Library was just unbelievable. I still don't know how I found my way through that. Wouldn't have made it without that shotgun.

And The Water Temple. Oh The Water Temple. I had a strategy guide playing that and it still took forever.

smittyjerkins5287d ago (Edited 5287d ago )

Even though the water temple in Ocarina of Time is always picked on for being a massive and confusing trudge, it had shadow link, which imo completely justified everything. The fight vs shadow link is one of the coolest and most entertaining boss battles in the game (he jumps onto your sword! can u say badass!) and the reward for beating him is the long shot, it makes everything worth it.

Darkstorn5287d ago

Pretty good list, except that I actually didn't have a problem with Alma in Ninja Gaiden. In fact, I beat her on my second try. I was playing Sigma, though, so it may have been tweaked. Even so, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Darkstorn5287d ago

@1.0-
I loved how MGS4 changed EVERYTHING for the ending battle. I won't spoil anything, but it was pure BRILLIANCE!

ico925287d ago

does anyone here get that feeling when you replay a game you really like but theres this one part of it that i dread yep the water temple in ocarina of time is one part i seriously hate it was such a chore

nbsmatambo5287d ago

the God of War part he mentioned wasnt that bad lol, extra incentive was that u get a trophy wen u complete it without losing health =]

gaminoz5287d ago

The Halo Library example or any of the others that use 'un'fun methods to pad out their games really annoy me. A game should not be 4 hours, but a game should not pad itself out just to say it is longer.

Godem5287d ago

God of War 1... AGREED!!!!! RAAAAAAGGGGE!

I just had pleasure of replaying through the God of War Collection on the PS3 last week and had to endure countless attempts of beating that BLOODY HORRIBLE TOWER/WALL.... seriously made me want to scream.

Kudos on the interesting 'top 10' list

gaminoz5287d ago

Nothing worse than getting to a part of the game (often the end) and have to repeat over and over and over.

Parapraxis5287d ago

It only took me a few tries to get past that part in GOW 1 and when I did, boy did it feel good.
I love games with challenge.
Demon's Souls has been fantastic thus far and often punishes you and has many challenges.
I think Vasari's Palace (KZ2)should have been on that list LOL. That level kicked my ass many times =D

LordMarius5287d ago

what a noob, it just takes patience,

didnt die on my first try

No FanS Land5287d ago

this part of the game is lame, but not prince of persia lame. insands of time when at the end of the game you happen to not have the dagger, the prince strangely begins the most difficult wall climbimng part I've ever met. I mean, one single error and you die. Not only this but this is repeated in Warrior Within, the moment you become the sandman, the game gets way harder than normal.

El_Colombiano5287d ago

I remember that being hell to do, but I just did it again in the Collection on my third try, not hard.

ReservoirDog3165287d ago

Oh God! I haven't thought of that in a long time. That was just impossible. That probably was one of the hardest platforming sections of any game ever.

Kakihara5287d ago

I actually got past that Hades tower part easily, I got knocked off two or three times but never when I was near the top so I didn't get frustrated at all. Strangely though I got really frustrated with the horizontal ones you have to walk across. I kept dying on those. I love the God of war games but I think they're both full of frustrating moments.

bnaked5287d ago

lol, after 1000 tries for the first tower, there was another one but harder.. I just thought: "DAMN!"

raWfodog5287d ago

...it wasn't supposed to be easy or enjoyable :)

GamerPS3605287d ago

demons souls sould be on that list. If you don't play slow, then you will be sitting on first stage forever.

rakunado5287d ago

I have to agree with most of them.

God of War 1's tower and Halo's library really took a helluva lot out of me back then. However the last game that made me throw a controller across the room was Ridge Racer 1 on PS1, trying to get the devil and angel cars. I can still feel the anger... gargh!

Most recent frustration for me would probably have been little big planet's wheel of death(the one where you had to jump the lightning blocks), but honestly i didn't try that many times, i just put the game down for a month and came back later and passed it on first try. :D Games nowadays are pretty much toned down, and much easier than say 8bit Nes Contra when you faced red falcon even with the 30 life cheat... urgh!

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

Mad_Matt1d 22h ago

If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.

Nacho_Z1d 20h ago

Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.

The_Hooligan1d 1h ago

I would still like to have Mimir in the next game. They (devs) can justify it by saying that Mimir wants to gain knowledge about other realms/pantheons. Also, personally I think Alastair Duncan did a great job as Mimir and would love to see the continuation of the small banters Kratos and Mimir had in the past games.

goldwyncq1d 1h ago

The point of Ragnarok's ending is to show that Atreus is his own man now. Having Daddy Kratos save him in Egypt after getting himself into trouble would just undo his entire character development.

Nacho_Z1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

The point was more to do with getting Atreus out of the way rather than him being saved. Let's say he's off on his own adventures then and invent another reason for Kratos to be in Egypt.

Could be that Kratos thinks he's been captured or killed as motivation but at the close of the game it turns out Atreus has been up to his own shady shenanigans.

Lionsguard1d 18h ago

They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.

InUrFoxHole1d 18h ago

Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.

^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen

darthv7255d ago

Legend of Dragoon... WTH is Sony doing just letting this one squander?

-Foxtrot55d ago

I wonder if their mindset is like “meh we have Final Fantasy what’s the point of our own JRPG”

FinalFantasyFanatic55d ago

@-Foxtrot,
Square-Enix had a long period there where it seems they didn't know what to do with Final Fantasy, I think that time period would have been a good time to revisit their classics and remake them. Now it seems they're going full steam ahead with the franchise, so they have less reason to revisit those older games. I wouldn't mind if they subcontracted them out to other developers, that and I don't trust SE to remake their older games.

Cacabunga55d ago

Simply because i do not think it will succeed.. maybe a bad example but e we got Medievil remake after many years fans have beg asking... result is It flopped hard. Remaking a JRPG is so risky. Only a bunch of hardcore gamers who played the original would buy it. If Sony put even more budget into it then it’s even more risky.

As i suggested before, i think they should start remaking like square did with Star Ocean. Or something similar to Octopath Traveller. Build up some hype and try on higher scale later on..

Terry_B55d ago

Let me tell you about PS1 games that should get a remake actually.

Jumping Flash (As a VR game)
Ridge Racer 1-4 as Ridge Racers 3..just like the pretty perfect PSP RR1.-2 games but with even more content
Xenogears
Cardinal Sin which was full of nice ideas for its time but was plagued by technical limitations
Bushido Blade ^^ just like CS
Bust A Groove.
WWF Attitude. With the same roster, same voices,Only slightly updated gameplay but current gen graphics
Dynasty Warriors..yes the fighting game that was similar to Tekken 2 while it had weapons.As nice as the DW games are..its a shame they never released a new fighting game

And while I am at it.

Thrill Kill ...hell yes.

KyRo55d ago

Ah Thrill Kill, the game that was banned/cancelled but everyone had played 😂 what a throwback!

darthv7255d ago

jumping Flash would make a great VR game. Im actually quite surprised nobody has thought to do that one... even on the indie side for something like the meta quest.

GhostMirror55d ago

Big yes to Jumping Flash! and Ridge Racer revivals. Bushido Blade was cool as well; it was pretty deep and so much different from other fighting games at the time. Einhander was another good non-RPG from Square, which was kind of rare for them in that era.

Didn’t Thrill Kill eventually get re-skinned and released with a Wu-Tang Clan license? 😂

FinalFantasyFanatic55d ago

I miss Ridge Racer so much, give me a new game or at least a collection of the older games! I had a blast playing Ridge Racer PSP on my PS4 a few months back.

FinalFantasyFanatic55d ago

I cannot understand the current business practice of remaking games from the previous generation, especially when they are very much playable today and still hold up well, it's even worse when people are willing buying them again. The PS1 generation is so ripe for remakes, I know more than a few people who would clamour for a Xenogears remake, or almost any game from that list.

Ravenkiss55d ago

and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.

Redgrave55d ago

I assume this to mean that you aren't considering the PSP port to be the remake in this statement? Like a remake of that one?

FinalFantasyFanatic55d ago

That version is quite old though, that was 18 years ago, so doing a remake in the vain of Star Ocean might be worth it (I did not think the PSP was that old until I looked it up).

Knightofelemia55d ago

I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

FinalFantasyFanatic55d ago

There's been talk of a Xenosaga trilogy on the proviso that there was enough demand, I hope that actually happens one day.

Why does From Software not do ANYTHING with this franchise... It's so sad... Can't they at least outsource it to someone to try a revival?
