What the Hell is wrong with Bionic Commando?

timrpgland · #**127**

This thread reminds me of what a poster said on my site.

Quote:

Simon's Quest is not only the single worst Castlevania game all time, it's in probably the top 10 or 20 worst games ever made for a home console.

That one really made me laugh.

Anyway, for me it's really hard to pick the worst game ever. I mean if the game is terrible, I won't play it. Unless I'm playing it because it's bad but that'll mean I'm probably having a good time... I don't know. Games have cluttered my mind. I do find some of these choices amusing though.

Oh yeah, Snake's Revenge on the NES is a pretty shitty game.

ArrowX · #**129**

ALL the Robocop games.

Rongi · #**130**

Final Fantasy 7 is the worst game of all time

I did spend a good few weeks playing it though, but it thankfully didn't make me obsess over it

I really do hate Final Fantasy VII, except for some of the soundtrack.

arg_zombies · #**133**

Soundtrack?
It had one?!

I always just liked the boss fight music which came on when you fought the turks

kahljorn · #**134**

you mean the finger snapping jazz tunes?

Also, for the record, I hate One-Winged Angel. Except for that one violin part, that's kind of cool.

Electric de Chocobo is pretty awesome, though, as is the Turks' Theme and the boss fight song.

arg_zombies · #**136**

Ha, you just reminded me of the 'chocobo dance'. On that little farm place, you can make them sing and dance and you get a random mog materia from them

I think I will this time although FF discussions really get old.

FF7 to FF/RPG fans before release: SUPER HYPE! OMG! IT'S NOT ON THE ULTRA 64!!

FF7 to Non-RPG fans: OMG!! COOL!! What is Final Fantasy? 7??!

FF7 at release: AWESOME GAME! GREAT STORY! GREAT CHARACTERS! COOL GRAPHICS!

FF7 now: BOOO! I ALWAYS HATED THAT GAME! BOOO!

Anyway. Say what you will about FF7 but if you don't attach some stigma to it you should be able to see at least what it accomplished. While it brought in many fans that annoyed me to the RPG scene it also boosted the genre in popularity here at American shores almost single handedly.

Personally I think it was a good addition to the series. The series went a different route after that but oh well, there's plenty of games.

I thought Terminator 2: Judgement Day (the Genesis port of the side-scroller)was a lot more fun and challenging (well , at least that 3rd driving secuence) than Bionic Commando, and that game was deemed movie-based-game poison. Sorry, but I deny Bionic Commando's right to exist.

timrpgland · #**140**

Are you just going to keep naming games you like better than Bionic Commando to justify it as the worst game ever because of no jump button?

Girl Drink Drunk · #**141**

Im just saying that wasnt fun, the multiple paths made it more confusing, having to use a a claw to go from platform to platform is cumbersome and slow, and I regret spending $4 thinking that it was a "classic" game. Also, I already stated earlier that I had exagerated when I said it was the "worst" game ever.

timrpgland · #**142**

You're not classic.

Girl Drink Drunk · #**143**

lol. Anyways, I agree with you about FFVII. Although I think the story in the game hasnt faired quite as well as the SNES games, and some aspects of the game haven't aged well, it made a huge impact. The whole anti- Final Fantasy VII craze going around is a tad rediculous.

timrpgland · #**144**

It has gone a bit overboard. Before I used to get most annoyed by people who were obsessed over the game. Now I get more annoyed by people who bash it like it belongs in this thread.

I played it once through and gave it its proper chance because I've always enjoyed its soundtrack, but it's too easy to whore out any character with Materia and make them godlike. I dislike newer FF games that only allow you to use three superpowered characters, as opposed to four slightly weaker characters (unless you overlevel). I don't know why; I like FFIV's idea of five characters best, and I'm OK with the four characters that the other pre-FFVII games give you.

I'm also not a terribly huge fan of its story. I feel like "Oh no, genetic experimentation and pollution are bad!" has been way overused in sci-fi settings, which is what FFVII really is if you think about it. I guess it was kind of a unique turn for the series, but I didn't enjoy it that much. It warranted one play-through (mostly because I wanted to hear what the final boss battle was, but I was sorely disappointed; Bizarro Sephiroth has a much cooler theme song), but nothing more than that.
