Name 1 game that has many flaws, but you enjoy for a small reason.

Mass Effect Andromeda.

Dumb characters

stupid story

Ryder

lame new races

not having the best races /geth and quarian/

stupid phone game feature

stupid online

stupid resource features

broken

BUT!!!

I like the gameplay.

Never alone come to mind, but Jesus!!! these clunky controls ruined it among other technical problems!!!

But still I loved its cultural settings and mythology and duel playing it with my daughter. She loved it so much that we decided to buy the add on : fox-tales.

Homefront revolution

More bugs than my backyard. Tho it has great game play and I liked the story (its all been patched now). More fps need on the fly gun attachment edits like crisis.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2:

Too short

Repetitive Level design

Rushed Storyline

it was buggy.(PC version)

The combat wasn't that baked.(Needed more improvements)

But

It had great atmosphere,graphics,cutscenes, had much less bugs compare to unleashed 1 and the combat was much better and faster.

True Crime New York City

Bad hand 2 hand combat

Funny car physics

Bad shooting mechanics

Bad port to the PC version

Low draw distance

And still buggy on PC

Slow and unrealistic animations

But

It had random crimes that made it's open world very good and there were different ways to solve them.(Either be a good cop or bad cop) you could also go into most of the buildings and reduce the crime rate by frisking people on the street(And if you wanted you could plant evidences for speeding it up)

Death By Degrees:

annoying use of right stick for attacks.

very long load times

bad camera

But

It had much better story than most of Tekken games,good mini games, X ray moves , great CG cutscenes , fortunately you can grapple enemies by using the L1 button(much better than right stick) and it was the only Tekken game rated Mature. Also Nina Williams was the main character.

Edit: Sorry I named 3.

@npiet1: If it had the entire Timsplitters 2 i would say that alone is a good reason. For me at least.

@dorog1995:It cool. And i agree on Unleashed 2 and True Crime.

Bravely Default. Middle of the game isn't that great and story is a little cliche, but game was amazing. The battle system should be implemented in every new JRPG with turn-based combat.

Yooka Laylee, it has MANY flaws... but the gameplay is so fun that I kinda ignore all of them.

I don’t buy a lot of games these days, so everything I get is generally well received.

I guess Quantam Break. Game ran like crap on my PC and was pretty short, but I was very engaged in the story/characters and thought the game was pretty fun. I’ll probably play through it again at some point, especially since it’s on Steam now.

bioshock Infinite.

Sure it had a few problems but it’s one of my favorite games.

No Man's Sky:

Cons:

• No MP
• Inventory is limited
• Too much Resource to scavenge
• Tedious weapons
• Dogfighting is a pain in the ass
• Space Station is the same on every Galaxy of the game
• No Dessert Planets

Pros:

• Flying to Space & going into hyperspace is fun when traveling to new Planets
• Space Traveling put the icing on the cake for this game

@davillain-: What, no hentai game? I though you would be a huge snob on that.

Three off the top of my head would be:

- Mass Effect: Andromeda

- Too Human

- Bionic Commando reboot

Metal Gear Survive

Dull environment

repetitive gameplay

huge learning curve

Maps reused from MGSV

BUT

Addictive as hell.

Lots of great base building and survival mechanics.

Online co-op is terrific.

Great endgame with two new bosses, lots of new gear and weapons to unlock.

The story fits into MGSV mythology and has a controversial ending to the entire franchise.

@Archangel3371: Can you say why you like those games? And the flaws that bother you.

@Ant_17: Well for Mass Effect: Andromeda

Flaws:

- story issues

- mostly dull characters and dialog

- some really janky animations

Liked:

- combat

- world exploration

- online multiplayer

Too Human:

Flaws:

- lengthy death sequence

Liked:

- somewhat interesting story

- while the combat was largely repetitive I did enjoy it

Bionic Commando reboot:

Flaws:

- pretty mediocre story and main character

Liked:

- the bionic arm mechanics

Kingdom Come: Deliverance comes to mind.

We all know it has plenty bugs and hickups.

But to be fair I don't love it for a small reason. Well purely from a gamer's perspective I love it for a small reason: Your character actually feels like he does get better throughout the game and things are actually hard to do at first, unlike in most RPG's. But aside from that, I love it because it's the first of any media to allow me to vividly imagine what late medieval life (or life in any other time for that matter) must have been like. Of course it's not perfect. Especially if you look at the many weird Kickstarter promises they made, and the bugs, and the rickety quests... This game is not for everyone. And I know that but in my mind it's one of the most important games ever made because it is one of the first to treat their historical setting with care AND in first person with respectable graphics and sound.

It's a game that needs to be treasured and I hope many more games will follow that work out the kinks and/or are set in other interesting times and places.

Dissidia NT

Tedious grinding to unlock anything, bare bones gameplay, unable to customize bravery attacks, no content, story is useless and thrown together into something that doesn't even stick. Maps are either completely bare or littered with crap that gets in your way, also they are uninspired. Best music are the original tracks to unlock.

Buuuutt... I'm attached to all the characters and love seeing them interact with each other.

A resounding second. But I love Infinite for more than one small reason.

First games that came to mind: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Great story and soundtrack, but a chore and a half to play.

I'll just say that these Hentai makers aren't even trying anymore and for the most parts, they can get away easily so I kinda toss my snobs out the window.

Elex:

flaws:

-movement feels bad

-combat is poor

-overarching story is poor

-first 10 hours are spent running away from enemies

why I like it:

-great quest design

-great world

-meaningful character progression

-charm and fun characters

-JETPACK

Geist on the Gamecube:

The bad:

• loose controls
• choppy frame rate
• dumb AI
• certain characters badly modeled
• shooting the weakest part... of a first person shooter

The good:

• you play a ghost and can possess small animals
• lighting and texture work are some of the best seen on Gamecube

You beat me to it. This game got absolutely slaughtered in reviews making me think twice about buying it though I love piranha bytes games.

Finished it the other day, utterly fantastic game. I love how you are completely useless for hours on end and have to work hard just so you don't get one shotted every time something looks at you. And yes all games (even sports games) should have a jetpack from now on!

First thing comes in mind = Player Uknowns Battlegrounds or PUBG in short.. Its utter crap for many reasons yet im enjoying it with friends and all

Halo:MCC. Still takes forever to get into a multiplayer games sometimes. Team killing

Host being a sore loser and cuts games short because of losing. Just to name a few reasons.

Pretty much every Suda51 game

but

I love his style

Ooh that is such a good pick. Yes same for me.

The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1.

It's technically a badly designed game, I can't deny that. But it combines two of my favorite things in The Simpsons and Professional Wrestling, and since I like those things so much, I can still enjoy this game despite it's bad game design.

Blinx

The controls aren't very good, but I love the presentation. I especially like how the characters speak a made up language, similarly to Panzer Dragoon, Gravity Rush, Klonoa, and Shadow of the Colossus.

prey.

in many aspects it plays like a cross between half life, bioshock, deus ex and dead space with a little bit of dishonored / thief thrown in for good measure. it's very typical of arkane in its a game that rewards creative thinking and management of powers with some great level design and attention to detail.

it's flawed by enemies that, whilst generally sinister and inventive, aren't all that fun to battle against, a lot of backtracking through areas, some pacing issues and (arguably) some slightly frustrating difficulty spikes

Monster Hunter World

Cons

• Your character flinches for EVERYTHING
• Monster roars can stop almost (99%) of any action taken by the player without earplugs.
  • Jumping from the sky (stun)
  • Burning up (stun)
  • Dodging (stun)
• Animation locks
• Enemies run away all the time everytime
• Online ID session is alphanumeric with a combination that is in the trillions. WTF. Stick with 6 digit number. There is never going to be 1 million active sessions online.
• If invited to a friends game their is no options to save. Its either don't save or cancel. Who the hell is the monkey that came up with that idea?
• Attacks are queued
• Enemies fall away from the player when knock down
• Enemy does not obey collision rules but your are bound to it.
• Hit boxes are whack
• Forest Area is confusing
• Friends that join your party are in their own instance
• Expeditions are and ordeal to setup with friends
• The grind is super high for gear
  • RNG for items
  • RNG purpose for already RNG items. For instance you need item A to upgrade but you need item A to be compatible with the item to be upgraded.
  • Upgrading requires too much parts at times
• Upgrading Armor and forging armor are two separate screens
• Failed connections boots you out of the search list forcing you to interact with the board, select the type of session and reset your session filter options
• Filters yield varying results and results are truncated for no apparent reasons. At times you get more results by narrowing your search
• NPC dialogues are mandatory for every interactions. This becomes tedious especially since you interact with them for purchases all the time
• Too much status effects on the player
• Randomly dropped off when flying to a camp

Pro

The game can be fun and the weapon options are pretty good.

Every Bethesda game.

MGS5 is the most incomplete game ever but its gameplay mechanics are fun

Max Payne 3

• Too many unskippable, low res cutscenes.
• You can't move while prone and can't go into prone easily.
• Level design is too linear.
• Horrible networking.
• Multiplayer is segmented by auto-aim servers and has balancing issues.
• Single player movement is a little too slow and single player doesn't have usable grenades.

But...

It makes me feel like a badass. No shooter has been so much fun for me.

@ezekiel43: BTW I played Max Payne 3 again. You were right, this game could be played without being in cover.(And I'm having a blast playing it for the third time on old school difficulty)

Regarding the topic , What's your opinion about Last man standing mechanic ? Imo, it is a cheap and unnecessary feature that puts the player out of the action for few seconds.(They should have allowed players to remove it in any difficulty setting)

I think it's overpowered and should work more like in the multiplayer. You get shot a small number of times when you're down and you're dead.

Right now PUBG. Poor optimization for Xbox makes for juttery frame rates at times. The very beginning parachute sequence is awful. Still, the core gameplay is solid, and I keep hitting “start”, so it’s doing something right.

I'm going to go with GTA4. I can definitely understand a lot of the criticisms the game gets (clunky gunplay, less of the silliness of past games, ludonarrative dissonance). But I loved the realism and grittiness of it and thought the world felt a lot more 'alive' than the world in GTA5. There were some things I thought were better executed in 4 as well, like the hand to hand combat. Other GTAs might do certain things better but GTA4 will always be my favourite of the series.

Ryse - it's fun stripped down to a bare minimum, but it's fun.

@Yams1980:I must say, i enjoy Sims 4 even with the lack of content. But i am playing the PS4 version so i'm missing a lot of stuff.

Tenchu Z was, by all means, a mediocre pile of trash. But the stealth gameplay and the satisfying kill system made it one of my favorite games last generation.

No Man's Sky

I haven't played this game, but I think that Enter The Matrix is another example of these kinds of games.(I've heard that despite it's problems it has a great melee combat and storyline)

Spiderman Web Of Shadows is another one of these games: No Difficulty setting, Too easy , repetitive side missions that just give you experience points , Final parts of the storyline feels rushed , No free roam after finishing the game, It's aerial combat wasn't that great imo.

But it had a great setting,ability to change to normal/symbiote costume any time that you want , breakable environment , ground and wall combat were good, web swinging was great and Tony Stark's building was also in this game.

@Ant_17: I really liked the gameplay combat wise as well. They really nailed that in Andromeda.

Kane & Lynch, Shinobi PS2, Black, Zillion 2 Sega master system are all games like that for me.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Cons-
While I don't mind the treasure hunting or shooting, they really can bring the game down
The camera
The boss battles
Chaos are pretty fun but even that can get boring and grind-y

Pros-
Rollin around at the speed of sound

The original Titan Quest on CD before I found mods to fix it, was still super fun.

Cons:

Your AOE spells and your buffs would not work properly

Pros:

Awesome duel character class system

Lords of the Fallen, it was a technical mess but I still had a lot of fun with it's combat and bosses.

Persona 4.

Too many annoying days doing nothing. I wish I could just fast forward this freaking game. I don’t need to spend 2 months doing mundane tasks until the next story point.
