GTA 4. Ludicrously overrated game. 98 on meta? Seriously? It was by far the least fun I ever had playing a GTA game. The main character didn't fit into the premise of a GTA game at all, constantly going on about how horrible of a person he was and the terrible things he's done whenever a cutscene came around, but then you hit gameplay and he's proceed to act like total scum (as one tends to do in a GTA game). It was completely out of place and boke the immersion for me. The story was drawn out past it's welcome, and that's probably because there was very little to actually do once you were done with it.
Bioshock. Ya.....I said it. This game bored the crap out of me. I've started it up 3 times. Got an hour in, put it down. Got 3 hours in, put it down. Got 6 hours in, decided never to touch it again. The cool setting everyone raves about doesn't grip me in the least, because guess what.....you only really see or feel you're there when you first go down. After that it's just narrow, dark corridors leading into the occasional lit room. Conflict of harvesting little sisters? What conflict? They're little mutants. The gameplay? At it's best when it goes for the occasional horror themed encounters,but it hardly ever does that, instead opting to just constantly throw screaming crap at your face in the same spots over and over. The story? Nothing interesting happened for at least 6 hours so.....I can't be asked to wait longer than that to get hooked. Fuck it.
MGS4. Snake Eater is one of the greatest games I've ever played. 4 is barely even a game. It's really just one huge fan service series of outrageously long cutscenes. That may be enough for some, but not for me. It brought NOTHING unique or new of it's own to the table. In the end I barely felt like I was involved in what happened. There was probably about 4 hours of actual gameplay. Not good enough Kojima.
There's more, but this is all I have time for right now
