"Kingdom Hearts": It seems like the creators of it were trying to make an overly sweet video game for older kids; if I was a toddler, I'd like it, but overly sweet movies, characters, such as "Disney", and other things like those sicken me now, so I can't stand it. Yecch.

"Grand Theft Auto": It should have been called, "Obnoxious Criminal-With-No-Moral-or-Ethical-Standards Simulator".

"Disney's" "Spectrobes": It seems to be an overly sweet, made-for-very-young-kids-not-fun ", very bad "Pokemon" clone, and I'm still obsessed with "Pokemon" cartoons and games, so I like the "Pokemon"clone games.

I Agree With SPARTAN-119 That We Should Only Shoot People In Games That Deserve It, Hence Halo And CoD Are Successful, But Not All Players Of GTA Shoot The Civilians. I Drive Carefully And Quickly, As Not To Break My, Or Others, Cars, And Also Not To Mow Down Civilians. I Save The Bullets And Health For Missions Or The Bad Guys. I Disagree That It Is An "Obnoxious Criminal-With-No-Moral-or-Ethical-Standards Simulator", Because If The Character (Tommy, CJ Or Niko, Depending Which One You Play) Is An Obnoxious Criminal With No Standards, The Player MAKES THem Act That Way. So, Unless You Are Calling All Who Play GTA An Obnoxious Criminal With No Standards, That Is Kind Of Wrong.

I meant the entire concept of the game, I didn't mean that the people who were playing it were acting like criminals. I just don't like the concept of playing as obnoxious criminals.

I must admit that the concept of GTA never really sparked much interest for me, so I haven't played it. For one, I'm not crazy about cars and I don't like driving very much (LOL) and two, as others have stated, I'd much rather be fighting the REAL bad guys, like Nazis or demons. In fact, I don't even enjoy fighting ragamuffin criminals that much... I prefer going up against vast armies of advanced, well-trained, well-equipped soldiers/monsters who want to invade/conquer the world or whatever. To me, that just seems far more compelling in a game.

I've Stated This Before, But You Dont Always Have To Play GTA Criminal-Wise. The Only Criminal Things I Do On GTA Is Probably The Missions. The Most Criminal Thing I Have Done Out Of Mission Is Probably Stole A Car. Like Cyberman Said, Its Better Shooting Things That Wanna Take Over/Destroy Earth.

I'll probably have to think about this one more, but the one that definately comes to mind in Halo. Brings absolutely nothing new to the FPS table and isn't that good of a game. If it would have came out on PC like it was intended to, it would have failed.

The Mega Man X series. Note that their robots, as usual, are mostly animals. "I have ran out of ideas for driods" is my impression. (corrected myself) I only liked the third and fourth. Don't like, but have, the fifth. The plot is still predictable (for the obvious reason), and they don't seem to want to go with the current trend of 3D backgrounds. Even Mario Brothers changed over the years, but not Mega Man.

Everquest. I used to love this game, till they updated the graphics. It's wierd, though. The new graphics they have now make the game seem so boring and useless. I won't forget the amusing graphics problem I had one time during the time they updated them, however. The women were bare chested, and wore panties. The men only wore underware. :lol: I must say, there was plenty of skin in the game at the time, from my view point.

I liked Halo when me and my sister played with our friends' husbands in teams. The game plot line itself was fun for only the first two go throughs or so.

the halo games. I don't see why they got so popular.

Also, guitar hero and rock band are good, but are extremely overrated.

And other RPGs that are similar, like the newer Final Fantasies, etc. I think they could do so much more, but they just use the same old same old with little adjustments and different graphics and it's BORING.

I had to endure a big rant this evening from my boyfriend about how dull "Vaan" from FF XII is. :lol:

I don't think I'm going to be playing XII.

Hopefully XIII will be better.

Saints Row Is A Great Free-Roaming Gangster Game. Great RAgdoll Physics, Weapons, Driving Realism (Kinda), And Numerous Other Tremendous Things. I Dont See How People Can Hatee Games Like GTA And Saints Row.

World of Warcraft.

I honestly don't understand why so many people love it. It's cartoony (which I admit has its appeal) and boring. Leveling is just too much of a grind for me to stomach, and I hear that the grind just gets worse at max level, and this is coming from an aspie who thrives on repetition.

For those that understand, no explanatuion is nessary, for those that don't no explination is possible.

Vaan is a dull lustreless s**t but XII is still a great a game.

It's Not Really A Rip-Off, Its More GTA Inspired. Both Games Have Their Own Appeal. GTA Goes For Realism (Until You Get Really Far Into The Game) And Then Saints Row rovides Gun Laws Where You Can Buy Pistols, Rpgs And Anything In Between.

The original Everquest is much worse on that than Warcraft. The leveling takes longer, and,

yay, you can repeat all their quests to.

Ghosts and Goblins for NES.
