*cracks knuckles* This is going to be fun.
Heavy Rain - Congratulations for starting this list off with a game you haven't played nor even seen in real life. On the other hand, it does resemble an interactive movie on some levels. Despite that, most of us prefer to actually, you know, SEE a game before judging it.
Mass Effect 2 - You follow up a list that started with a game you've never played and continued it with another game you've obviously never played because no one I've met would put Mass Effect 2 on the same list as these other games. It radically changed how a player can interact in an environment and drastically change a game's outcome without relying on some cheap gameplay trick that only alters the last five minutes of the game.
MGS4 - I can see your point here. The MGS series has some of the greatest boss battles in gaming history and Kojima just bogs it all down with twenty minute (!) cutscenes that made me want to kill myself.j
Most Modern Console JRPGs - I don't even really know what you're talking about here but I guess you hate the entire genre. Okay, personal preference. Good for you. I prefer to judge individual titles on their own merit.
- The Ace Attorney Series - It's a quirky DS title that has a niche audience. Lots of people don't like this series because they don't buy it. Or maybe it has more to do with most people not knowing it exists.
- Alan Wake - YES! That's three games you've never played on this list! Considering how little is actually known about this title, I think you deserve two points for this choice.
- No More Heroes 2 - I don't mean to bust out my Jump To Conclusions Mat but I'm going to take a flyer on this one and say you've never played it.
FF VII - You already mentioned how modern console JRPGs aren't really games anyway. I find this choice redundant.
Resident Evil 2 - I don't understand this choice because it's followed by Bayonetta shortly after it. Do these games really have stories? I've never really noticed a strong coherent story arc in any of the DMC/RE/Bayonetta style games that you apparently dislike. Unless you consider a boss introduction to be something bad that plagues videogames, in which case I could add about 500,000 titles to your list of hated "games" (term used loosely within the context of this thread).
I can understand why you would hate several games you listed but almost every game has a story to it that is told "through progression".
Really, you just created this list and added random titles to each section to get people fired up (more commonly referred to as trolling).
Although I do find it somewhat amusing that it only took a 15 second scan of your profile to see that you gave a Pokemon game a really good rating (8.9).
DAMN THAT PROGRESSION! It's easily a 10.5 on a scale of 10 without it.
