[The Forgotten Knight]

The topic is pretty self explanitory.

There are two types of games that really grind my gears. The first are games whose combat system revolves around simply tapping a single button over and over again. I don't see the challenge or skill in playing these games, not to mention it gets very boring, very fast. A good example of this would be Ninja Gaiden Black on the original Xbox. I'm not sure about the 360 versions but believe me I wasn't going to pick up another one.

The second type of games that grinds my gears are games that are supposed to be sequals but instead are actually the same exact game only with a fresh coat of paint on. Nintendo is notorious for doing this, examples are; The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Brothers. Examples for the Xbox 360 are Fable II and Grand Theft Auto IV.

I agree with u on the 1 button pressing games, it gets
Old fast

70 percent of the action games on NG have only 1 attack button, so I could never bring myself around to play them

Movie spinoffs.

[Roy-G-Biv]

Games based on Movies (which in turn are based on books)

Mission Pack Sequels, unless they include something so awesome not seen in the original. (basically what Forgotten Knight is)

I don't know why, but I can't stand RTS's

I can't stand RTS's.
Maybe if you could directly play as the units.

[Babbity_Rabbity]

Most FPS games. Very few are actually original.

And You're wrong about Fable 2 and Zelda being the same games over and over.
Because Fable 2 is nothing like the first one. And the Zelda games have new items, dungeons, bosses, and stories.

Lol, David Duffy I feel bad for your game collection.

Omg, I had to wait 6 hours to post that because the forums went fubar.

[mechazeep]

It's an NES game.
You can't expect the fighting to be good.

If anything, this is a nostalgia trip for those oh ho old people who loved DD.

[Darkshadow1]

We should all hate the Dynasty Warrior series as well. IT'S THE SAME GAME!!!!!!!

[Babbity_Rabbity]

Fallout 3.

Also, why does everyone hate RTS games? Are you guys just bad at them?

They obviously suck because they don't know how to use strategy.

Yes, it's a real game. Yes, I bought it. Yes I played it, and yes I died inside a little bit.

EDIT: Here's just a taste. It's so terrible that everyone falls into hysterics.

[The Forgotten Knight]

I like RPG's unless their made in Japan. I'm just not a fan of turn based combat. Which is just about every Japanese RPG known to man. Lol, Deadliest Catch the game I would shoot myself if I were the developer making that.
