I don't know why Half-Life 2 being slammed for its story keeps surprising me over and over in this topic

Tekken is not a slow game. Look at pro videos

Do Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metal Gear Solid 2 count?

gears of war was god awful. it was so...how do i put this..."whoa! totally duuuuude!" i just couldnt stand hearing that stupid fucker marcus talk because of that horrid voice acting.

Halo, Crysis, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Motorstorm, to name a few.

maybe it would be easier for you to tell us which popular franchises you like.

The former does, at least.

Hate = gears

             HALO

             GTA:SA/4

Overrated which means i dont hate but dont think its as great as poeple think =   

             SSBBrawl

             LBP

agree with brawl 4 sure. mgs2 blew as well

Killzone 2:
Literally, the least fun I've ever had. Everything was so ok. I didn't have any particular gripes, everything worked fine, it looked very pretty and the music was good. But I had absolutely no fun playing it. It felt like a chore.
