Game let downs

[Shooter99]

Far Cry 2:

Seriously, it had nothing to do with the original Far Cry. Instead of the intense-commbat action game with awsome effects and a variable gameplay, all we got was a long drive in the jungle and a short merc battle every once in a while. The graphics and the enviorment were great and extremely realistic, but some of the effects made it pretty crappy:

a) T-shirts make very good armor in africa and all the weapons there fire M&Ms at the enemies i.e. it seems as 9 out of 10 bullets are blanks. I once spent a whole magazine on a guy's torso (from close quarter combat) and he didn't die.

b) Once you buy a weapon in Africa, no one is allowed to shop at the same weapons shop and you also have an unlimited supply of the weapon types you've bought.

c) The extremly endurable AK47 jams 15 minutes after buying it, and explodes in the next 10 minutes of usage.

d) The needles in Africa are almost as thick as the syrette.

e) Africans can't swim and drown instantly.

f) Zebras die every time they touch a car.

g) There are more mercs with British accents than real Africans in Africa.

h) The man you are supposed to kill suddenly becomes your friend and makes you kill yourself - and YOU DO!

i) At the end, all of your friends - even the dead ones - suddenly try to kill you.

It was a big disappointment and I hope that Far Cry 3 is going to be a better game.


Battlefield Bad Company 2

Even though I love this game, I somehow can't stop thinking that Call of Duty has had major influence on games, even to games such as the Battlefield series. The whole gameplay was a mix of MW and MW 2. The level known as "The Cold War (the second mission)" should have been named: "Preston Marlowe in Call of Duty Land". Don't get me wrong - the game was awsome. The destructible terrain, the great graphics and physics, the gameplay... I just don't like the fact that games nowadays are turning into Call of Duty. There is Battlefield no more, the age of Call of Duty has began. >:D


Medal of Honor 2010

It seems to me that Call of Duty is turning into an evil dictator who keeps occupying other games and makes them change their gameplay and story into a more Call of Duty like style. I hate the fact that every fps starts turning into Call of Duty. Btw, Why do people hate WW2 so much? Of course, it is used quite often and it gets boring after a while, but WW2 was not just Normandy, Stalingrad and El Alamein. There are only a few games in which you fight in the Battle of the Bulge, The Pacific, Kursk, Italy, and while we're at it, why don't they make a game in which you play as a German fighting the Russians as they attack Berlin (no I am not German nor a Nazi, I just think that it would be interesting to play from the "enemie's" point of view). Modern Warfare type games are getting boring. Even Call of Duty has lost it - it's not what it used to be. They start making war look like a fun, easy part of someone's life. As for the gameplay, I didn't like it neither. I finished the game on the hardest difficulty without dying and only using a pistol. The AI sucks and you have an unlimited ammount of ammo. If real war was like that, I'd sign up in the army right now and become a hero within the first few minutes of the battle. You just can't get stuck in a hard level nowadays.


Fallout 3

Though this game is supposed to be an RPG, I think that it is a shooter with RPG elements. The story was nothing special. A post apocalyptic world in which everything is radioactive, everything sucks, mutants threaten to wipe mankind of the face of the earth and a guy comes out of vault 101 who can choose to be either good or bad and at the end, no matter how bad he was before, he turns out to be a hero as long as he sacrifices himself instead of the girl and vice versa. The gameplay was nothing special and it was rather boring. No one likes to explore a post apocalyptic world full of ruins and enemies - who btw, are immune to headshots and no one can talk them out of what they're doing.
And the graphics were not as good as people say they were. No facial expressions, no variety of faces (all of them looked the same) and the textures people had on the neck and torso were different from the texture of their body.



Don't get me wrong. I know that MOH 2010 and BC 2 have a great mp gameplay and I enjoy playing them, but they are no more the games that they used to be.
They're not as fun and their names should be:Call of Battlefield: Call of Duty MW and Medal of Duty: COD fans.
Well, what's your opinion? Do you agree with me? Have you ever played other games that have disappointed you or made you wish you never really bought them?

[LiNuX]

The only one I played from your list is BFBC2. It may just be me but I didn't see the game as being influenced by CoD. I've been playing both for years and I've played BF games since BF2 years ago so in my eyes, BFBC2 just evolved from the earlier versions of the game.

Also I never played the single player mode so I'm not sure what mission you're referring to - so I won't argue with your name change there :)

[Shooter99]

Well I never said anything bad about the multiplayer and don't get under the impression that I hate these games. I am just saying that they're not what they used to be and what I was expecting. And some people might have gotten me wrong on this one: I do not have anything against the Call of Duty series. Infact, they are my favourite game series. I just don't like the influence they have on other games.

[mattyb89]

i can understand that fallout 3 was a very dull story to it and the fact if your just evil all the way through but then become a hero out of it all is a bit weird
the fact there is a lot to do in the game and can go everywhere is a real plus for me

i really love my fps games and all but i'm also not a big multi-player person so i stick with the campaign side of all games i do play. the thing about bad company and call of duty these days for me is they put nothing into the main story line and spend all their time making the multi-player mode.

the thing that really really pisses me off is the fact they can charge $110 for either of these new release title games when there is no depth to the game play.
yes they do a great job with the visual side of it and give some of the story line a bit of feel but its not like they are making me want to play it again after i just finished it.

This. However, i'd rather have a short, concise, action-packed story than a long, drawn-out one where you go down hallways that all look exactly the same for 14 hours. FEAR and Half-life come to mind (though I haven't gotten far in Half-life, so maybe it changes. though half-life 2 looked pretty much the same while watching a friend play)

I agree. Battlefield games are original, in terms of both the game play and the multiplayer and have no influence whatsoever. Even the new campaign path they brought in for Battlefield Bad Company, the story line was like none thats ever been done before; the characters in the campaign were also unique and kicked arse!

Call of Duty is suffering now, I'd say the Battlefield Series is owning CoD in present days, in terms of entertainment. That's my opinion.

[LiNuX]

I'd say the Battlefield Series is owning CoD in present days, in terms of entertainment. That's my opinion.

I will agree with you there. I've played enough versions of both games and generally, I find the BF series much more entertaining.

But like you said, it's just an opinion. I'm pretty sure a lot of others will disagree with us.

[paecmaker]

If you think that BFBC2 is cod influenced. The real battlefield hasnt come out yet. Yes Im talking about Battlefield3

Been there. lol

lol yeah I mean in Gothic 3 you can swim around and things. I use to swim from island to island in the game not for real lol and I didnt die. They should made the game much more fun like gothic 3 was

And the short games that was also not nice when you get so into the game and then in the eng you see the credits lol that's not nice it makes you want to stab the game lol:D:laugh1:

lol you make it sound bad it's fun without a gun:cheesy:

In far cry 2 am I the only one that hates those sporadic encounters with enemy cars.

I were in the middle of a battle and when I was going to win a car hit me from behind and killed me.>:(

I'm not making it sound bad. I just find it funny the way you have to mention stabbing in almost every post. lol :cheesy:

That is not the worst part of the game. I once shot a guy in the face and he didn't die. Afterwards, I shot him in the face again just to bring him down and had to finish him by sticking a knife in his balls. I've tried stabbing crawling enemies in this game many times and each time ended the same way - you stab them in the groin. And what about the sounds? the vehicles sound like lawn-mowers and you get listen to that annoying sound for at least 30 minutes in the game - and walking is not an option.
I think that the thing that pissed me off the most about this game was the way you just can't kill your enemies with a single headshot, heart shot, or any other fatal shot you can preform.
a) The game's gameplay sucks.
b) The story is not that bad, but the effects suck.
But still, the game I hate the most at this moment is ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. It was a huge let down. And Fallout 3 is no better either. At least Far Cry 2 had good graphics and it was fun to explore and roam around Far Cry Land.

In far cry 2 I was going to burn down a enemy camp and started burn the grass around it, To late I noticed that it was blowing in the wrong direction so I had to run away from both the fire and enemy guns. (My only weapons were a jamming ak47, a jamming pistol and a almost empty flame thrower)

Every time I try to do a stealth kill every enemy in the radious of 100 meters start to shoot.


(Sorry that you feel that way about Arma2 and fallout 3)

[Raoul]

I'm not making it sound bad. I just find it funny the way you have to mention stabbing in almost every post. lol :cheesy:

lol it's my trade make in the FPS games that has a knife in them:D even in left for dead 2 I got the ninja sword I love using that weapon and killing all the zombies on the incoming attack:cheesy::cheesy:

Far Cry 2 would've been an awsome game if it wasn't for its major flaws such as the ones mentioned above. But even if it was an awsome game, it would've had nothing to do with the original, so they shouldn't have named the game Far Cry 2. And I am sorry for purchasing A2OA because the game sucsk. This year is going to have quite a few FPS games with an old fashioned gameplay - and they won't be influenced by other games such as COD, MOH etc. I just hope that there'll be no more disappointments of this type. I'm looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever and Bulletstorm. And if there ever is Far Cry 3, or ArmA 3, I ain't buying them until I hear some positive reviews about them - from this forum that is - The reviews on Youtube were the ones that made me buy A2OA.
ps: I'll post a thread one of these days about the things that make FPS games suck.
And I'm also adding Painkiller: Overdose and Serious Sam 2 to my list.

I can't wait for the release of Crysis 2 either, but somehow I keep getting the feeling that it is not going be as good as we all want it to. I don't know why, but I can't stop thinking of it as a game that's going to join this list very soon after its release. :( I have a rather bad experience with sequels.

Well you go ahead and run faster with your knife/sword and yell out "Boom Headshot" every once in a while and DO NOT GET LAG unles you want to crush your PC to pieces in your garage. lol :cheesy:

ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead screwed me up. I can't uninstall it because I have this weird obsession with finishing games. I have to finish every game I have, no matter how boring it is. lol And I don't feel like playing it, so it just stands there, as a desktop icon and every time I start it and get to the end of a mission, I realize that there's something wrong with the mission and I have to restart it and play the mission all over. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! I decided to buy 2 games and instead of buying StarCraft and Metro 2033, I bought this piece of **** and Gothic 4 :( A complete screw up. That's what inspired me to make this thread in the first place. When I think of it, BC 2 shouldn't be here. The only I put it here was because the story was a copy of MW2. BC 2 shouldn't be here.
Anyway, I'm going to buy Metro 2033 sometime real soon and I'm thinking of trading A2OA for Borderlands. Is that a good move, or am I going to end up adding more games to the list?

Yeah buy Metro 2033 that game is really awesome and the creatures in that game can like freak you out how they get behind you, but they also look really funny to me lol. This game you must buy, but the game is not like very long that why make sure that you play this game on the hardest level and then you can die alot lol and the game would be much more challenging:) Did you play starcraft 1 before, because if you did starcraft 2 would really be awesome and even if you didn't play starcraft 1 you would still love this game it's an brilliant strategy game and it has really beautiful graphics I love this game and can't wait for the expansion to come out of this game:p

[paecmaker]

I really hope that STALKER 2 become good. The graphics in the first one wasnt that good and some of the enemies where just annoying but the feeling in the game was excelent.

[Project Blaze]

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam

It shouldn't just throw you into fighting as soon as you start a new game. It completely sucked. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. That's the last time I pick up a Gundam game from the Dynasty Warriors series. They should've stuck to what they're good at. Talk about a damn waste of my money. So I just sold it back, but only for store credit. Which is still only 80%(I think). -_-

Medal of Honour: Airborne was a let down for me :(
The single player was fantastic, but the multi-player was far from...

I'm left dumb-founded by EA... they manage to create an amazing multi-player in Allied Assault, but every single MP game after that has been less than impressive...
Medal of Honour, released at the back end of last year, it isn't all that bad on the multi-player side, as it was EA Dice who developed it... however, it still doesn't have that long-lasting playability that I'd expect from an FPS multi-player addition.

[Shooter99]

The singleplayer of MoH: Airborne was awesome, but it was too short for a "Medal of Honor" campaign and it woud've been better if you were in the 101st battalion. But it was fun playing it anyway.
As for the multiplayer - it was a letdown and I played it for a few weeks and then I just got back to playing the campaign and trying to get all the medals and wings.

+1 on Campaign length. Being a WW2 geek, I love playing these types of games, especially Airborne based games, as they're my favourite to read up on and watch documentaries on.

The main problems with the multi-player from my point of view, was the sucky texture rendering which lagged the game to hell and the fact that there was no dedicated servers :(

P.S. Could I reach 1,000 posts tonight???? :O Who knows!?

Im still at a part where you have to run to a bunker or similar after you destroyed the elevators and guns. The machineguncarrying hunks kill me a soon as I try to get forward. It is also a spawning trap wich make it impossible to kill them in a distance.

You make Castle Wolfenstein sound bad (you didn't like it?:shocked:). I didn't like the Super Soldiers with the mg42s, but the thing that used to piss me off the most was the respawning. Starting the game by jumping out of an airplane was fun and original, but every time you get killed the battle goes on and you jump out of an airplane again as another Boyd Travers (stupid name btw). I also disliked the fact that you can't go prone and the training level was extremely short and it didn't explain how to land without falling down "like a rookie or civilian". Using the Springfield rifle was also bad since the fire rate when looking through the scope was very slow. And the last mission was not real. There never was a mission like that. It seems to me that Pacific Assault was the last awesome game in the Medal of Honor series and the last one worthy of its name.

ps: I am a big WW2 geek as well, but I'm more interested in the battles in the Pacific and therefore I am really angry with the fact that there are not enough WW2 shooters based in the Pacific >:)

Are there any other game that is in the pacific?

[Shooter99]

Are there any other game that is in the pacific?

Fortunately for the modern warfare geeks and unfortunately for us, WW2 is no longer popular and therefore only modern warfare types of games will come out, so there won't be any new WW2 games if that's what you're asking. As for older WW2 Pacific games, there are 2 more. One of them is Medal of Honor: Rising Sun and the other one is Call of Duty: Final Fronts. Both of these games are absolutely awesome, since Final Fronts features a US campaign in the Pacific, a US campaign during the Battle of the Bulge and a British campaign during the crossing of the Rhine; and Rising Sun is similar to Pacific Assault (so it has to be awesome). The bad thing is: They're both platform releases. If I buy a PS3 or an x-box 360 now, I will be able to play Final Fronts, but FPS games are meant to be played on PCs instead of platforms, so I don't think that it'll be as fun. I won't be able to play Rising Sun even if I buy a platform, since it is a PS2 game. :( So unless you have a working PS2 or a new platform, I got bad news for you. :(

[Project Blaze]

I thought I already put this in here... huh... guess not... Anyway, Killzone was a big let down for me. Just throws you into the fray without any sort of practice or anything so you don't even know what the hell to do until you're dead. -_- I think that's the last shooter I've ever played, come to think of it.

[paecmaker]

I have rising sun on ps 2 and its like a worser version of pacific assault.

About that they almost dont do any shooters (or anything) from world war two is sad cause the war was placed in so many different places. Ive seen my share of d-days and stalingrad but there are many things we havnt seen.
Only one game has showed a bit in the french resistence( two if you count cod 3) and there was much battles in italy and north africa. And if you want some sort of d-day why not choose the assault on iwo jima.

Also am I the only one that think it is curious with a shooter that takes place in the korean conflict.


Now this is just my oppinion and if you feel any different pleas write.

Exactly. There were a lot of WW2 battles that haven't been turned into games even though the games would've been awesome. The game developers are not as original as they used to be. They choose modern warfare fantasies over real events in WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc... >:(

[Jayhmmz]

In one of my gaming blog posts, I ranted about how they completely skipped Vietnam! Such a controversial time has to be covered in a game! It would make an excellent story-line! IDIOTS.

In one of my gaming blog posts, I ranted about how they completely skipped Vietnam! Such a controversial time has to be covered in a game! It would make an excellent story-line! IDIOTS.

Don't blame them. Blame the majority of gamers who want games based in the near future or present day (modern warfare type games). Those are the idiots who prevent us from getting good games.

Can we add Duke Nukem Forever here? i just finished the gave and was let down a LONG time before that. Alot of time was put into Resurrecting the Duke, but to me it felt like watching a Brett Favre try to not be old. I mean the Duke can bench a freakin' VW bug but if he trys to run much more than 10-15 feet he's out of breath. and then to add platforming to it was just a insult. Duke don't need to throw barrels around to get through a level, Duke Blasts through a GD wall if he needs too.....

[Shooter99]

Actually, no. Duke Nukem Forever is a good game - Maybe not as good as Duke Nukem 3D - but still, a good game. The reason for its late release were the console releases. The PC version was done in 2007 (or so I've heard).
The things that I didn't like about DNF were:

a) Steroids???! The Duke doesn't use steroids! Steroids are for idiots who want to look tough. The Duke is a natural badass, so I find this to be highly offensive.

b) Under Water bubbles give you oxygen for breathing. What kind of a redneck came up with that idea?!

c) Steroids make you punch harder - the same redneck I guess. Only an idiot would think that steroids make you stronger.

d) 2 weapon limit - The Duke can carry more than 9 weapons, but DNF limits him to only 2.

e) Not enough aliens and lack of weapons. There were just not enough aliens and battles as there should be, and the new weapons were terrible. And that is a bad, bad thing when it comes to a Duke Nukem game.

Still, Duke Nukem Forever is a solid game, with fun and lengthy campaign (for a modern fps), funny sequences, good multiplyaer and it's one of the best games that came out in 2011. And I strongly disagree with IGN's review.

Farcry isn't a really good game, well, the second one isn't. But in the first one, you get powers and you kill those weird things and ****. The annoying part is where you always have to get medication for your malaria. Which kinda gets repetitive after a bit. Its a really big jump from the first storyline to the second in my opinion. But it is indeed fun to run over animals :laugh1:

Far Cry 2 had nothing to do with the original. Not only didn't follow Far Cry's story, but it was also developed by different developers. It was a completely different game and it was named Far Cry 2 in order to lure gamers into buying it. Despite this scam, the game had great potential. - And it would have achieved great success if it wasn't for its giant flaws - like the useless weapons and boring vehicles.

Actually I think that Fallout 3 was the best game in the entire franchise, while New Vegas stands as the weak one to me. Fallout 3 had a great storyline, great gameplay, and lots of things to do on the side. Fallout: New Vegas had a REALLY poor plot(Platinum chip and get shot in the head, miraculously get cured by a doctor in a shed without a single ounce of brain damage and seek revenge?...COME THE F ON!!! That's just messed up), Gameplay was as always, extremely repetitive, and the side quests were exactly that, quests, not really any interest on the part, just did them to get that extra level to survive the hike to vegas. I didn't even bother completing Vegas, it was so bad.

So yeah I'll have to disagree with you here, Fallout 3 was a drop dead awesome game, and not a single let down about it(except maybe the occasional bugs but hardly worthy of getting on the let down list for).

I would take Fallout 3 and replace it with Dragon Age: Origins, cause see that game was a real let down, atleast to me.

Yeah dude, exactly. It has nothing to do with the original, which is what made it suck. The flaw of the game was the malaria for me. I enjoyed the original way better bro.

[EDIT] - Also, the other thing that sucked is when the guns jam and break.

The thing that guns jammed was good, it was just that they used it bad, the Ak 47 is almost unjammable but only lasted like 15 minutes in the game.

I didnt like the snealing in the game, I killed one guy silently but still everyone still noticed me. The fact that it was a entirerly different game than far cry 1 was bad.

I also liked the original much better even if some of the monsters were just annoying. Neverless I am still looking forvard to Far cry 3.

Yeah mate, I understand aye. The game doesn't really allow you to sneak, and Farcry 3 might be a lot better actually :P

Oh, this message. :p
I saw your post yesterday, but I was too lazy to log in and reply. :)
I've never really played a Dragon Age game, but its name and title speak for themselves. So yeah, we might replace Fallout 3 with Dragon Age.
Now, to get to the Fallout 3 vs Fallout: New Vegas part.
note: I still haven't finished Fallout: New Vegas, so please don't spoil anything for me.

I'll start with Fallout 3. In Fallout 3 there is not a single object that's not radioactive, everything is either green or grey, you can't use iron sights (making far range combat rather useless) and you don't get proper training on how to use your Pip-Boy, Vats, or anything else for that matter. The story is not as good as you say, since 'Someone else is trying to do what we wanna do' is not a good story. The ending was horrible, since none of your good deeds matters, unless you sacrifice yourself. Another thing I'd like to point out about Fallout 3 is your reputation. The way you can be good in one place only and then the whole world loves you. The weapons were also boring, since there wasn't a big number of weapons and the game forces you to use melee weapons in the beginning of the game.
Fallout 3 was a good game, but had a lot of flaws that make it a let down.

Fallout: New Vegas, on the other hand, makes much more sense. The thing you said about brain damage is not entirely true. You should have noticed that it takes at least two shots in the head in order to kill someone in New Vegas, and Benny shot you only once (with a pistol meant for low level enemies). That's how you survived :p Also, the 'brain damage' was that you dropped back to level one, instead of keeping your current level. And I don't know what kind of an idiot wouldn't want revenge after something like that happening to him.
The gameplay is much better, since you get a proper training when you start the game, and you are equipped with good weapons. The best part is, that New Vegas forces you to fight (in order to level up). I was constantly avoiding confrontations in the beginning of Fallout 3, because you get to fight Super Mutants (who are equipped with hunting rifles and rocket launchers) and Mirelurks, while you are level 5 and all you have is a broken laser pistol and a baseball bat. Fallout: New Vegas is much better than Fallout 3 in my opinion.

[Saph]

And by the way to the person who -rep'd me.

Yeah, I should post about it, kthx.

I didnt think that fallout 3 forced you to use close quarter weapons. The first (real)weapon you got is accually a pistol, if you played fallout 2 you see that the weapons in the beginning are truly effective. I had to run with a stick or knife for several hours before I bought my first pistol, with five rounds.

I didnt meet mirelurks or super mutants when it was impossible to face them and most "dungeons(like sewers or caves)" I waited until I got some decent weaponry.

Fallout needs a bit more fps elements, like one shot - one kill headshots.
Fallout: New Vegas is far better than Fallout 3 for many reasons. I might as well post a 'Fallout: New Vegas vs Fallout 3' thread (just like I posted 'Stalker vs Fallout' and 'MW2 vs BO' :P).
For now, I'll just say that Fallout: New Vegas has a better storyline, better side quests, less bugs and a more entertaining gameplay than Fallout 3.

I like Fallout: New Vegas more then Fallout 3. I love how you can get "clean" water and food that is not contaminated by rads for those long hikes exploring. There are a few things that I would love to see if they decide to make another Fallout. With the hope that they throughly test it before releasing it as New Vegas had bug issues that has since mostly been resolved. The only thing sometimes that irks me to no end is when I end up being hated for doing nothing, or I "had" to kill someone. Okay so I didn't have to kill them, but they annoyed me.

Seeing your reference to clean water reminded me,

Hardcore mode was the winner for me. Really opened up the game and made it a lot more realistic, which I liked.

[egg-whites333]

I dont know if im the only one but i love the cod series sure its kinda the same, but the story line is good and then the online when you prestige you feel so accomplished. I dont know but i love it.

i have to disagree with the fallout 3 i loved that game yes it was more a shooter but how insted of leveling up you age that was brilliant and its fighting action was good but should of been a shooter

+1 on the pure water. The huge amount of radiation in the original was very annoying.

'Fallout: New Vegas' is practically bug-free when compared to Fallout 3.
Also, the way you get reputation in NV is much better than the one in Fallout 3, because NV makes it impossible to be a 'saint' (unlike 3). I.e. no matter how good you are, you can't make everyone like you - Just like in RL.

Hardcore mode was fun, but at some points it was just a pain in the a**. While it made the game harder and much more realistic, the 'special award' they promised was not an award at all. Either way, NV is much more realistic than Fallout 3.

I like Call of Duty games for their campaign and the unique co-op multiplayer - Spec Ops (MW2), Co-Op campaign (WaW) and Zombies (WaW and BO). The multiplayer of MW2 and BO is just not my cup of tea.

EDIT: According to me, Call of Duty 2 has the best multiplayer in the franchise.

[Shooter99]

I'm adding Dead Island 2 on this list. It's a repetitive game, with bad visuals and an awful story (with its ending being the worst way to end a game). I might as well declare this to be the worst game of 2011.

[Molenator]

How about my biggest let down ever. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. So...so.....SO disappointed

[Mizel]

I can't honestly say that there whole games that disappoint. Its more often then not parts of games or endings... like the end fight in Bioshock -__-

How come? I havent played it yet but was planning on maybe getting it for Christmas.

Its extremely repetitive, story gets ridiculous, while the levels are sometimes cool they get redundant and you see the same building over and over again, combat mechanics are not up to par. “As Master Yoda might say, “a good game The Force Unleashed 2 is not.” - IGN

I totally agree. Didn't hate it but it was certainly nothing new and special. First one was much better.

Hmm i hope you mean Dead Rising 2, cus there is no Dead Island 2 and i thougnt the Dead Island game was actual something nice, Not new But looks and feels like something new.

I dont know but I think he means the word too with the (2)

I think he is right to a certain degree, it was repetive and the story isnt that good, however the visuals aint as bad as he say. I wouldnt say its the worst game of the year, I accually think its an OK game.
