I agree totally with you Lasereth, it really gets on my nerves as well

Amen. A few flaws does not a shitty game make. I guess one could use the term hater everytime someone else says fanboy.

True enough, but a few flaws does not a perfect game make, either. You'd think Jesus himself had blessed the titles, the way some people act about them.

i actually liked prince of persia WW!

anyways, same goes for me, doom 3. and console.. hmmm FF X-2 .. (that was this year right??)

Doom Three.
Expected something much different.
Spending years on such intricate level, texture and character design, and then not being able to see any of it = retarded.
Glad I didn't upgrade for it.

Hasn't anyone made a mod for Doom 3 that has a decent light? It wouldn't be hard, I'm sure.

Doom3 deinfatly. I held the stupid flashlight more than I held a gun!

It would have been fine if you could have the flashlight on while holding a gun like you can in HalfLife. You would still have the moodiness of things being dark but you could see what you're shooting at. Even having a weapon like the shotgun have a flashlight attached would have worked. We have guns like that NOW... why not in the future?!

Also, having the monsters hiding behind paneling in the walls that open up when you're around?! That's just stupid. It was fine for a game 10 years ago, but if you're going for realism it just doesn't work!

What a let down. If I were a game developer I would go with HalfLife 2's engine rather than Doom 3's.

Fable, ok game with good graphics and gameplay, but too easy to beat and not enough weapons or armor to make it interesting.. Halo 2 could have been better.

Duct Tape mod for Doom 3
 

i wonder if id will get the picture, on second thought no, doom3 made how many millions of dollars in sales PLUS the money the will make from licenses ... at least raven is doing Q4, i think they see the bigger picture.

I'll agree with this one. LotRealm 2 was excellent for its time, but 3 was a definite step backwards.

Flame me all you want, but it would be a 2-way tie between Fable and GTA: San Andreas. Fable was doomed first and formost by its creator because we turned on the hype machine a little too much. Had i have lesser expectations for the game i might have gave it a little more time and liked it. GTA, atleast for me, seems like its the same thing everygame with nothing new. Yes they add more gameplay in the form of the territories, weapons, bigger areas, and all that. But at the core its still the same thing. They need to give the series a break and revamp the whole game for the next-gen.

That's funny, because when I read about the tattoos and the way food affects your weight in GTA:SA, I instantly though that it was much better implemented version of what Fable wanted to do.

Fable. Hype or no hype it was at best, an okay game.

EDIT: Did I say anything? Nope.. Nope I didn't, carry on.
*Whistles*

Fable - didnt live up to the hype

Wow.. no mention of that ultra-shitacular, overly hyped, celebrity loaded, bugged outta it's mind, with an extra dash of horrible play control known as Driv3r? I mean c'mon that game had to be the biggest shitball of 2004. Gripes about Fable being too short, Doom 3 being shallow, Half-life 2 not living up to promises, all aside.. Driv3r was the worst thing I've seen in a long time. It's almost bad enough to "drive" an honest person to piracy.

Buahaha...I hear the cell phone game version of Driv3r was better than the console version.

I'd have to say Doom 3. Although it was brilliant the first time I played it, there was absolutely NO replay value. This was a huge shock in terms of how it failed to recreate one of the dominant traits of the Doom series.

Harping on most everyone else, I would say Doom 3. I don't mind the flashlight stuff though, that didn't bother me. I liked doom 3, but I hated the fact that I felt like I was killing the same 4 monsters over and over and over... and why is it that every single person that became a zombie or died looked exactly the same? Couldn't they have made a few more models for dead mars base people?

They could have, but everyone seems to miss the fact that Doom 3 was little more than a tech demo. I think the players tried to turn it into a game, then started hating it.

I have played Fable quite a bit and I have to say I really like it. I think the trick to it is to come at the game from many different angles. Make several different characters and see what happens if you do different things. Become totally evil or totally good. The game has a lot more replay value for me than most games.

I would have to say Soldner: Secret Wars. Sounded awesome, and they had some great ideas, but it was just so poorly done.

However, I did like Fable. Even if it's way to short.

Runner-Up Halo 2

Doom 3 :-(

I liked Fable, of course i hadn't heard anything about it before I played it. Doom 3 was fun for a while which is what I was expecting it to be. ID never makes good games they just make good game engines. What I was disappointed in was RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The game play was OK, but it was buggy as hell.

Gran Turismo 4 because it keeps on getting pushed back and back and back... better be a really good game!

that was the most upsetting game of 2k4 (at least fo rme)

Doom3

Thought the game would be something more,but it was just eye candy

I'm going to hop on the bandwagon and throw my vote in for Doom 3. I liked seeing my old friends in new skin suits. But I hated shooting a wall in the dark with a shotgun...turning the flashlight on to see that I shot the wall...turn to see whats hitting me and shooting it.

I DID like that it was scary as hell (no pun intended) if youve got a good surround sound and only played it in the dark *like I myself did*. Weirdly and unfortunatly its missing some kind of "play me" quality..because you couldnt play it but for 1-3 hours max before taking a break. Before you know it..your 3 hours from the end..and its been a month since youve played it. I didnt think it was all bad..it made me jump a few times.

For console (and WAY above doom 3) ill give the 2nd vote to FFX-2. Yes Leserath the game was complete utter garbage. Being a final fantasy 'fanboy' I was ashamed to pickup the controller and felt I should burn the room FFX-2 was in to purify it. There was nothing Final Fantasy about it...it was a title to sell.

defintely doom3. its like all they cared about was creating the engine, and then actually making the game was an afterthought. it could have / should have been so much better.

As per popular opinion, my vote's going to Doom III. I wasn't very hyped about that game at all, and I was still disappointed. What does that say about it?

I'm also agreeing with GakFace and Tribes: Vengeance. Tribes 2 is still one of my all-time favourite games. But Vengeance just isn't Tribes. My biggest complaint was that they got rid of the sleek, uber-fast fighter planes and gave us a bunch of floating balls. What could they have been thinking?

I agree with the FFX-2 thing.. but ehh.. the second PP was nice.. it was one of the few games i was addicted to and wanted to finish. Too short though.

World of Warcraft, I really expected revolutionary change. Yet, it was the same shit.

Madden 2005.

Star Wars Battlefront.

I'm going to say Fable, but I'm going to throw in Growlanser as well. The story isn't bad, and I knew going into it that it was old-school graphics, but some of the graphics blow even worse than I could have imagined. I've got to play it a bit more since this is just my first reaction, but I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was expecting to be, especially for a game that was delayed numerous times.

Are you serious?

I played the first Halo at my buddy's place and it licked rectum, Haven't tryed Halo 2. But Killzone owns every shooter game i have tryed for PS2 online anyways, The actual offline game isn't great..But you can tell Killzone was made purly for online play. It's sick.
