...and more. I think reviews and such are worse this gen then they have ever been.

So you hate everything that's popular? What do you like KylieDog? I know you at least like battlefield bad company 2. lol

I like lots of things, it just so happens a lot of the highest scoring games I find to be boring. Though most of those on that list I made are inferior sequels, imo.

Its hard to pronounce inferior sequel without saying Resident Evil 5...

Inferr...Resident Evil 5... ior Sequel... yeah, I can't do it.

I do believe you like that game though right?

I'm not sure what you mean, RE5 improved on RE4 in every way possible. The story was a hundred times better and actually RE related. the game wasn't as repetitive. It added co-op for both campaign and mercs, split-screen and online, a competitive multiplayer mode, online leaderboards for every single game mode. It upped the tension a hundred fold by making the in-game world never stop, not even during inventory. It also fixed all the horrible balance issues RE4 had with RE4 dropping too much ammo, letting you carry too much ammo, letting you carry too many weapons, the weapons being stupidly overpowered, dropping too much health, letting you carry too much health (and ammo/weapons all at once) and the enemies being too weak and not agressive enough in the first place.

lol...it didnt up the tension for one. Not even the slightest. Having a computer or human buddy there to revive you killed whatever tension RE4 had left.

RE5 looks better and has coop but for every thing they made better, they downgraded 3 other aspects. We have to deal with almost broken single player experience, boss fights which are completely un-interesting and repetitive, one of the most redicluous stories in video games history, no variety in gameplay (remmeber puzzles), controls which no longer work since the game is a pure shooter, its criminally short...etc

It isn't a terrible game...but that is because it completely copied RE4 which was a trailblazing experience that blew everything away in 2005.

Most of your problems arose in RE4 but you seem to only pin them on RE5. Strange that.

You also seem oblivious to the fight or flight mechanic.

Oh please, fight or flight...what does that have to do with anything?

The similarities between the 2 are apparent but Resident evil 4 came out 4 years before when these concepts were new and fresh. All I am saying is that REsident Evil 4 is still a better game after they've had 4 years to improve on it. Considering the reviews and reception for RE4 got and that its still listed on a lot of "best of all time" lists... I think most of the critics would agree. RE5 was pretty much forgotten 3 months after its release...appart from the occasional DLC which reminds us it exists.

But it doesn't have Jill Valentine...so I understand why you may like 5 better.

MGS4

Uncharted 1 (so I never played the second)

Gears 1 and 2

Resistance 1 (so I never played the second)

Fable 2 (Not sure why I even tried to play it, I absolutely HATED Fable 1)

SSBB (Melee was great, but I could not play brawl)

SM Galaxy (will not play the second)

I would say Halo 3, KZ2 and other shooters, but I dont think its so much I find them boring as I hate console shooters in general.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, I am an equal opportunity hater.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

It really was inferior to Ocarina of Time in almost every way possible.

I LOVE ICELAND!

Monster Hunter 3 - Couldn't get into this game. Too much hard-to-read dialogue and not enough monster killing.

I can assure you that changes after five hours... :-/
