10 Games You Don't Want To Get For Christmas

GamerFitNation's Gregory Laporte writes about 10 Games You Don't Want To Get For Christmas. "It’s the 25th of December and you're running downstairs to open up the gifts that your mom, dad, wife, husband, and Santa Claus has bought you. You open the package and you see these titles Duke Nukem, Brink, Street Fighter 4 and Alone in Dark Inferno. You immediately think to yourself “awesome I will be busy until the new year!” As you put the game in your system this happens...."

Pretty harsh on SF and MVC however while a huge fan of both series I can't even criticize or counter the points mentioned because they're all sort of true.

[PhunnyJesta]

i wouldnt pay 60 bucks for the SF or MVC games brand new but i definitely wouldnt mind getting them for free =]

You just had to go and ruin the best thread on N4G.

[Snowii]

say pal

do you have an xbox?

[bozebo]

lol troll.

If a game costs 60 million to make and yet costs the same $60 then doesn't that make it a really good deal? Just... you know.

Anyway, enjoy your kinect.

Haze was just awful. I remember being so hyped for Haze because the developers behind it made brilliant games in the past. Wow was I dissapointed. The sad things is that Haze was a great concept that could have been great. I don't know what happened!

[bozebo]

They were working with difficult hardware and Ubisoft were pressuring them a lot.

Now TS4 will be made by Crytek and they are going to ruin it.

[LettingGo]

OLD article.

[Brownghost]

those games make great paper weights and keeping fires going

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Yea but wood is better at keeping fires going and cheaper too.

[Berserk]

I liked alone in the dark actually. Dont know why people keep hating on it.

[upallnightgamer]

Half of those games on there are kinda subjective, because I know a handful of people who wouldn't mind getting DNF, SFIV, or MVC3 for Xmas.

[Venjense]

The stuff said about the Capcom games is funny because it's so true.

I loved SF4 and put about 100 hrs in it, then a few months later SSF4 comes out and I'm like WTF, there goes the online community I thought they wait at least a year, then SSF4A comes out and now I'm finished buying Capcom fighting games.

Cheap short term cash grab resulted in a permanent loss of customers, the suits' greedy is making them stupid.

[RurouniKaze]

I thought activision was bad with their 12-month releases but Capcom takes the cake. They can really just put all this stuff in a patch or at least sell it as DLC for maybe $20 US if they absokutely haaave to ... im done buying their FGs too.

Btw, gunna send yall a copy of Barbie for the Wii mwahaha

[fredolopez]

lmao i was waiting so much for Call of Juarez, thankfully i rented it before buying it because that would've been the worst $60 i could've ever spent!! that game was nothing in comparison to the previous titles, never thought i'd be saying this about a COJ game lol

[bozebo]

"never thought i'd be saying this about a COJ game"

I played the first one for 10 minutes. It was dire bad.

[fredolopez]

the 1st could've done better w/ the graphics, but overall i thought it was fun. for online gaming it's not worth $60, for single player it was pretty awesome.

if u think the 1st game sucked don't even think of Cartel, probably one of the worse games i've ever played!!

[Pikajew]

If people get it for me I dont care what game I get. Its a free game. But I would want a good game not a bad game

[Noticeably_FAT]

Duke Nukem Forever isn't horrible. I actually did buy a couple of copies on Black Friday to give as gifts, or at the least stocking stuffers. At $10 apiece how can you go wrong? I'm not saying it was a great game, but it definitely wasn't as terrible as Haze or anything like that.

[bozebo]

Alone in the dark started off OK. Then it went "now go and do the same thing 93 trillion times elsewhere" and nobody played it after that.
