Donkey Kong Country is just the easiest answer to this question.
In Memoriam RVW Jr.
SSBB Friend Code = 5455-9050-8670 (PM me if you add so I can add you!)
Tetris Party Friend Code = 116129046416 (ditto)
Don't hate me but... Crisis Core (somewhat).
And ditto on Kung Fu Ragdolls or whatever it is.

Most people con't look at how well they are assembled, and after playing so may games I feel like I (as many on this site may feel the same)judge a lot of games on how they are assembled, by their online components, if they have any glitches an so forth.. which would have lowered my enjoyment of a game like timeshift by some. but once I started playing the game it was clear to me that I had to turn that part of my brain off, and just enjoy it for what it was.. the entertainment.. as you said. certain beautiful games that we play have the potential to ruin perfectly good games which we play at a later time, if you never stop analyzing. but there are so many games that are good in some ways that can be enjoyed for what they are. kudos oooh, I thought of another one, Kane and Lynch |
No problem. I guess I will shorten this even further, by describing what I said as an "IKEA moment" with a videogame. Being totally impressed by sheer cookie-cutter implemented mediocrity. It is akin to setting up an piece of IKEA furniture and feeling that it isn't too bad.
If there was a way to be able to change the subject header, I would put "IKEA moment" in it somehow and "competently executed mediocrity" in parenthesis.

Your are of course entitled to your opinion but i have to disagree to an extent. DK Country totally failed to do ANYTHING original or different in the gameplay department but it's execution was so good it definitely elevated the game above mediocrity. The gameplay while run of the mill was still very tight and it's graphics, sound, atmosphere, and humour were all exceptional. I think it was definitely over-rated initially but then there was this huge backlash after reviewers realised they had been seduced by the shinies. It's no Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island but i think it's worth a solid 85-90%, an excellent score.
