Left 4 Dead 2I've played RDR twice to completion, and very nearly started it again when Jones began his stream play through. It's an excellent game, but it's not as great as its reputation suggests. Whilst some of the characters are amongst the best Rockstar ever wrote, many are shallow and lazy, included purely for yucks. I could throw some -isms at it but I really don't want to derail the thread. The story starts well enough, ends very well, suffers some serious dips along the way, the Mexico arc is execrable, and Dutch is not given enough time at the end to fill his story implied boots, though the infamous real final section is brilliant. As with most Rockstar games the mechanics are solid, serviceable but unremarkable.
Excellent, but not Ultimate.

Left 4 Dead 2Yes, you have a very nice central metaphor about how libertarian governance and laissez-faire capitalism are just economic slavery cloaked under the guide of freedom. But after all that you had to spoil it and have people fight a literal
Even if I agree with you, I just can't let that pass. Have confidence in your narrative next time! (Well, I guess that didn't happen, what with Infinite burying the lead about religious racism under all that wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.) Plus, in the end you're just another dumb zombie game without any other NPCs of note.

Left 4 Dead 2It's the only game on this list I don't see the appeal in playing it, and the only I don't even want to own, and now there is only one game left on this list I don't have in my collection, well one of them I have on XB1 but details.

Dead SpaceBayonetta, mechanically a near perfect action game, but obtuse bordering on nonsensical plot, over the top campiness. Uncomfortably sexualized female mc playing up fanservice turned a lot of people off of playing it at all. Die!

Dead SpaceSorry Fez, just didn't hold my interest. Interesting concept though. (I shall avenge you, Bayonetta and Beautiful Katamari.)

I would just like to point out that it's now canon that I killed Bayonetta. Muhahaha!

Dead SpaceEasiest kill ever, it should have never made it on the list to begin with. I play a lot of RPGs but I have never been as thoroughly bored throughout an experience as Blue Dragon. Lost Odyssey isn't perfect but the concept is more interesting and Tales of Vesperia is arguably the best RPG on the system. No room for scrubs here.

@Haru17 OH NO YOU DIDN'T.
Edit: Expect a revenge kill.

U wot m8 (see that joke fits since her voice is british)
@SabotageTheTruth
It's actually the game that got me my 1st RRoD because I played it so much during summer vacation back then, I thought it was great. Tbf fair though, I also enjoyed Enchanted Arms, Star Ocean 4 and most other "mediocre" JRPGs I have played more than any Uncharted game, including the dreaded FFXIII Trilogy, meanwhile I can't stand FFXII.
-
Oh man, it's a weeabo bloodbath! In hindsight, it honestly wouldn't have mattered if I had remembered to put Skyrim on the list, because some salty Ally would have inevitably 86'd it because it's popular.
-
@Haru17 I would have killed it because it was a huge disappointment to me after loving Oblivion so much.
-
See? I told you so.
-
The game I secretly want to win is still alive. That's all I'm gonna say for now

Dead RisingI was hoping Viva Pinata would be the dark horse and survive on its charm, but now it's dead. I'll kill the last RPG on here. Let's face it, the 360 is not a system known for its roleplaying games, may as well cut it down to its strengths. I feel the remaining five scream Xbox much more than Lost Odyssey does.
