I can't tell if people like Titanfall or not. It got a lot of money, but I've heard complaints about the fact that there's so few maps, no real campaign, uninventive modes, unbalanced combat...

To be honest, occasionally it's the most engaging games which people complain the most about.  Not saying the best, but...  For example Payday 2.  Someone I know has complained about Payday 2 more than any other game in existence, and considers it unfinished.  But...  they've gotten so much out of it.  Not just hours, but unique experiences and a need to share them.

It's not really hypocritical, Payday 2 could be even more.  So could Dwarf Fortress, which I've complained about for hours IRL.  It's just hard to see a game that could so easily be much better (seemingly) and remember "Wow, this is at least three orders of magnitude above that shovelware I paid five actual dollars for".

The complaints you listed sound like the complaints of people who love the game, and are desperate for it to be better and larger in certain ways.

I agree with Rolan

[MrWiggles]

Something, I don't get with Titanfall, is that its in a lot of ways the shooter that the FPS fanbase has been wanting.

No more fluff and greatly reduce tedious unlocks!
 
It has every category of gun covered, with a gun, so there wasn't mindless hours grinding unlocks to get that one particular gun, that is slightly different from the dozen or so guns like it.

And there a couple more things.

[LordPyrrole]

I enjoy the tedious gun unlocks that you have in games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, I guess that's why people don't like it because that's a good progress marker for me atleast.

[NullForceOmega]

People don't like Call of Duty because every single entry in the series is a reskin of the previous, with increasingly ridiculous stories and multiplayer full of obscenity screaming children.  I don't like  Titanfall because the developers went out of their way to insult the very foundation of western mech culture, and that is an excellent way to lose business.  Also, I really like Spore *runs*.

[LordPyrrole]

I don't think that some Call of Dutys are just a reskin, some games like Ghosts just didn't do it good, Black Ops 2 was the best in my opinion and AW added exo suits, we are at the very least moving in a direction towards changing them

Mirror's Edge is my favorite game.

Yes, I play mainstream games, I play hipster indie games, I play a lot of games.  And my favorite one is THAT one.  I don't even play it any more because I've basically memorized every part of it.

Except Mirrors Edge is a freaking masterpiece, so it cant be the worst game you like.

[Twinwolf]

My only problem with Mirror's Edge is that it is too short. I NEED MORE!

When I played it on PS2 long ago, I really liked True Crime: Streets of NY. Looking back, turns out it wasn't a very popular game, I think I recall quite a few bugs, too. Could never get the PC port to work in a way I liked. But I still really liked it.

Yeah, I know.

Its just funny that its at the top of my very long list since its a flawed gem.

The worst... hmmm.  Lord of the Rings: Conquest?  Its a third person slasher that plays like it wants to be a FPS, its a class based game with serious, serious class imbalances, and it anally recreates the graphics of the movies while having a fairly... liberal view of the plot.  Oh and its got glitches, one of which allows the most overpowered class to use their basic ranged attack with less cooldown and while moving.

For all that its just... fun.  Its fun even though it isn't designed well.  It also has an evil campaign which starts with Frodo taking the ring for himself and then being killed by a Nazgul, and then you basically play as a bunch of orcs slaughtering all the good guys and heroes. One of the last missions is Aragorn and a bunch of Gondorians having a last stand on weathertop.  The last mission has you running into the shire and slaughtering old women hobbits.  Its simultaneously awful and hilarious, and it somehow feels like it fits in the universe even though its blatant fanfic.

Yes, I am not the only one! I really liked the way the gameplay went. Something about the whole warning to arresting thing felt satisfying. As you say though, the PC port was developed by people who I imagine must have been having a brain hemorrhage at the time. Binding all the controls to the numpad, of all things...

For a while, there was a licensed Robocop game on Google Play to tie in with the new film. It was a Skinner box cash-grab type of thing, but it promised new enemies and locations all the way until the end of game. This was not a trivial game, by the way; without paying any real-world money, it could take days to get past a block of missions. It was kind of fun.

Another one since it took me so damn long to think of: the old video game adaptation of The Hobbit, from before Peter Jackson made it into three really dumb movies. For a shovelware Zelda clone it wasn't that bad, and the GBA version had some really catchy music.

I had the GBA version.  It was fun.  On a similar note the original Fellowship of the Ring game that came out before the movies was also surprisingly good.

[EnigmaticHat]

OH WAIT NO

I remember the worst game that I like.  There was a licensed DS game for the Eragon movie.  You had swordfighting, bows, and these different magic runes you could draw on the touchpad, all of which could be leveled up separately.  The bow couldn't kill anything at the start but if you managed to level it up somehow it was great.

It was basically a hack and slash game but there were so few large-scale fight scenes it never really got to be one.  It had to follow the plot of the movie so it was super short, further compounded by the fact that the first third was tutorials and fetch quests and the last fight was a total gameplay shift.

But... if someone had used that system to make a game in an original universe... man that would have been fun.

The announced then abandonned Mirror's Edge 2 has been re-announced at the last E3 (less than a month ago). There will be more


Worst game I like ... HuniePop.
