Congratulations, Neocracker . You did it. I didn't think it was possible, but you managed to offend the entire forum in one post.

Actually, I'm not too mad. I understand why Dante's Inferno is the most disturbingly shameless ripoff, arguably ever. But I think at the end of the day you have to ask yourself "are you enjoying this game?" It was God of War for Catholics, and I'm a God of War fan, I'm Catholic, so it was a really solid title in my eyes. I also think FFII and X are amazing games, but I completely understand and appreciate why others do not.

LA Noire... it was a cool game, I didn't realize it could disappoint enough to be on this list, though.

Xenogears, I'm obviously with you on. It's actually one of my favorite stories in an RPG, but the dungeons and lack of meaningful combat are a sore spot for me. Great story and bad combat takes it out of "legendary" staus for me, but the inclusion of the platforming possibly brings it down even lower. Even the story is hard to give it a grade, because the unfinished nature of the game just earns it an INComplete.

Halo is really weird. I can understand how playing any game with your friends will result in a good time. Especially with the Forge features they've iterated over the years. So I understand where Ultima Shadow is coming from. But as a dedicated FPS fan, on PC and console, it's never vibed with me. The bullet sponge mechanics, where it takes an entire clip to destroy a target's armor before you actually start hurting them, seems like the complete opposite of what a shooter is supposed to be about to me. I suppose it could come down to preference, but I've never found it compelling. Then there's the graphics and animation. I just can't fathom why Bungie are considered in the top tier of developers when Halo 3 (+ODST) and Reach looked like last generation games to me, at the very least they were vastly outclassed by their contemporaries.
