The Games We Hate
Spinless:
There is only one game I hate.
Iridion 3D for the gameboy advance.
I figured since I was an master or R-type and Gradius that I could get good at that game and obliterate it. Not the case. So frustrating I smashed a gameboy advance into itty bitty pieces and nearly snapped the cartridge in two.

The original Tribes evolved into an extremely fast paced, team-based, FPS with some strategy elements. Tribes 2, by design, removed/limited the speed and turned the focus from speed and aiming ability to pure strategy. Also, the attitude of the devs managed to fracture the community that had built up around the original game and destroy the franchise.

Oh my god, I had nearly put all that behind me. To say it "fractured" the community is a polite way to say it. As for myself, I'd put it this way: the way the community transitioned between Tribes games was a complete, unmitigated clusterfuck. People complain that the NMA site has the most toxic community of gamers going, but I'd say they don't hold a candle to the worst Tribes grognards. It was terrible; the developers slowed the game down just enough to piss off the veterans but added in too many features for the game to be any easier to learn for newbies, leading to the videogame equivalent of class warfare and perhaps the single most hostile enviroment I had ever had the displeasure of playing in. I'm glad the series is dead, despite how much I had once enjoyed it.

Woah. Back in the Starcraft days I used to bitch about getting slapped around by maphackers and having battle.net go down more times than a seasick hooker at a paraplegic's convention. But you definitely win. Yikes.
Alex C:
Heh, okay, perhaps I was being a bit melodramatic, but that's really part of what made it so bad: Tribes 2 had drama queens like me running around with spinfusors ruining everything!
KvP:
Pissier than NMA? Surely you jest.
Actually NMA isn't that terrible. It's RPG Codex that gives NMA its bile-black color.
You know what game I hated? Dungeon Siege 2. I actually bought it on a whim, took it home and it was like a terrible game turned into a Uwe Boll movie then turned into a game again (except, Boll is actually making a Dungeon Siege movie, last time I checked)
