worst platformer mascot in history

While I totally agree, I think the gears of war people are the worse thing to happen to gaming. 

You two are kidding right? Those two are some of my favourite series; I just love the cartoony style of Ratchet with its very happy platforming, and I just love the feel of Gears, it is just so lovely and meaty...

YES,I agree completely.They MUST be kidding :P

They ,must be on both franchises...

@FFX-2 haters: why? What's so bad about 2 (ha,ha) hot girls running around a revived Spira with fantastic gfx, great minigames, music, and a battle system that's quick and easy to use? Girly, is it? Not at all.

@Topic: Kingdom Hearts... ugh... ugh... I hope that it had never existed even with the fact that without it there'd be no franchise.

I'm sure this is going to cause some controversy, but I'm going to say the Grand Theft Auto franchise. It is this series that has been getting a number of people to look at gaming... in a negative way. This is the series that has lawmakers trying to push for more regulation of gaming in recent years. And I think that the way Rockstar keeps trying to push what is acceptable in games in this direction is going to cause something to snap, and make things MUCH more restrictive. Thus, if there is video game censoring in the US, I feel it will be because of something this series did.

metroid other m.

a lot of forced sequels like tales of symphonia 2 and no more heroes 2 (in reality i enjoyed both titles, but they kinda spoil the "cult" aura possessed by the first chapters)

every single sonic after sonic adventure 2 (maybe except sonic and the secret rings, it had its problems, but it was fun, and colours which i still haven't played)


If I could undo the experiences that were Heroes, Unleashed and Sonic the Hedgehog '06, I'd be a happy man.

What was wrong with Heroes? I had some issues with it myself, but it certainly wasn't near the bottom of the barrel. It did a lot of things right, even against the standards of the Sonic haters, striking a good speed/platforming balance

Some of the characters were obnoxious, certainly, and the graphical style was definitely a downgrade from the pristine Adventure 2, but Heroes was what most 3D Sonic haters should remember



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Everytime I play a good racer and think about the most disapointing racing games of the last few years, Burnout Paradise is always the first thing that comes to my mind. Well maybe second after ProStreet....

Just so many stupid design decisions that destroy the whole game. The core gameplay isn't that bad afterall.

Yes, the core game design is so so good, you go so so fast and it is just so awesome!

@ acevil, admittedly I have not played Sly, though I do plan to get the trilogy

no map on HUD, losing boost streak when pressing select and looking at the map, AI always use a different path than yourself, taking out the real crash mode.

That's just broken gameplay. Why playing Burnout when there is no one to take out. Most of the time you see the AI at the start and then comes a time pretty early when you split ways and at the very very end on the finish line you meet them again. If you crash in the middle of the race, it takes ages to get any kind of boost, because there is simply no enemy to take out.

Thus driving slow til the end = no fun.

Simply design faults that could have easily been fixed.

I just like the really fast pace of the game, but I spent most of my time just driving around for fun. You've obviously been spoilt by the earlier Burnouts

No doubt about that.

Ratchet & Clank are awesome! Burnout Paradise is awesome! Now that that's out the way...

And I can't really think of any game I don't want to exist. You could argue that that Gears of War should never have existed because it made bulky, ain't-got-character-so-I-put-up-the-ultimate-tough-guy-facade, bald, crouching-behind-chest-high-walls-for-a-living space marines more popular than ever, which is sad. But on the other hand, it's a great game that do a lot of things right and raised the bar for shooting and action in gaming in many ways, so why shouldn't it exist?

The easy answer is to say that games that don't do anything for the industry in terms of pushing it forward somehow shouldn't exist. But a game like that can still be great fun, and there will be people who find value in it, so why be bothered by its existence?
