Was bored, No-one was talking on IRC so I decided to make this topic.
So basically you post your favourite game and a full explanation of one thing you don't like about it.

So here's mine for posting and a example.

My favourite game is GH III but the one thing I don't like about it is when you try to activate star power and you miss a couple of notes.

My favorite games (I've got more than one now!) are SSBB, Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask and Kirby's Dreamland (the first one!). The bad points of SSBB is the slight delay at the beginning of Wi-Fi matches, the bad points of Majoras Mask is the graphics and there is no remake of it with a Master Quest Version (like Ocarina of Time :'( ) and Dreamlands bad points is... well... the graphics.

My favorite game of all time will always be Luigi's Mansion on the Gamecube. I've already beaten the game 9 times and I still haven't grown old of it. What I don't like about it? The fact that there is little difference between the Mansion and the Hidden Mansion in the American version. The PAL version of Luigi's Mansion has tons of changes that was excluded from the American version including:

-The Hidden Mansion is mirrored from left to right when compared to the Normal Mansion. The NTSC version keeps the layout the same.

-There are more normal ghosts around the mansion.

-Bosses are harder, having different attacks (Chauncey's rocking horses, for example, are much bigger, and swerve left to right instead of going straight). A major change in the Boolossus battle is that the player rides around on the vacuum cleaner while trying to pop Boolossus, making movement more slippery.

-Rooms are much darker in the PAL version; this, however, is only as dark as in the NTSC version of both mansions, the normal PAL mansion being lighter.

-Most Boos have more HP in the PAL version, although some have less.
Fewer hearts. Locations that always had hearts in the Normal Mansion no longer have them. Hearts that heal 50 HP no longer exist.

-Speedy Spirits and Gold Mice always give up a Blue Diamond when caught, raising the maximum possible amount of money from 142,390,000G to 192,390,000G. Since the requirement to achieve a Rank A mansion in PAL regions is higher than the amount of money in the normal mansion, it is necessary to play through the hidden mansion to receive Rank A in those regions.

-45 rather than 40 Boos are required to fight the final boss.

-Boos are, in general, more agile.

My favorite game is monster hunter freedom 2. Other than lacking a story, it's fun and enjoyable. The only thing I hate about it is that you have time to PAT YOUR BELLY after eating a well-done steak while a Yian Garuga is about rape you.

I have a few games that qualify for "my favourite game"...

Pokemon Crystal - One thing that bothers me about this game is that when someone tries to give you a Pokemon and your party is full, you can't take it until you free up a spot in your party. This means that you have to hike to the nearest Pokemon Centre, deposit one of your Pokemon, then hike all the way back. I'm not entirely sure about this one, but I believe that in the first generation games, when you had no room in your party, the Pokemon was just sent to your PC.

Banjo-Tooie - I find this game nearly perfect, but one thing I don't particularly like about it is... well, I really can't think of anything. I'm serious, I can't think of a single major flaw this game has. Well... unless you consider the fact that you have to collect a large number of the same item to advance through the game, like in Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64... that's getting a bit old...

Conker's Bad Fur Day - This game is fabulous overall, but it could have been a lot longer. The other thing that annoys me is the utterly useless "lives" system. You restart from the same point in the game regardless of whether you lose one life or get Game Over. It's similar to the rather pointless lives system in Banjo-Kazooie, which Rare fortunately did away with in Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong 64 in favor of giving the player unlimited lives. Why it came back in Conker's Bad Fur Day is beyond me.

Super Mario 64/DS - The swimming controls are horrendous. Underwater swimming isn't that bad once you get the hang of tapping the A Button at the right pace, but trying to jump out of the water onto a platform is just unnecessarily difficult. As well, the camera control makes me cringe. Then again... this was one of the first 3D platformers Nintendo released... I'll cut them a bit of slack there...

Donkey Kong 64 - Another great game... it's difficult to think of any major drawbacks it has. Hm... well, one thing I wish it had more of was animal transformations. Donkey and Lanky got their own animal transformations (Rambi the Rhino and Enguarde the Swordfish), but what about the other three Kongs? It would've been neat to see those three be able to turn into their own respective animal friends...

I forgot about Banjo-Tooie! I love that and the only flaw is that the Boss battle replays you only have 5 honeycombs, and the final boss can wipe you out in the replay.

Needs more Pi-Face. Yes, this is a legitimate concern. But seriously, this game was so amazing. I wish you could sell threads, though. >8| I have 9 of so many things from maxing out the shopkeepers but now when I need yen, I can't sell those back. Baaaaaw. Online mingling would have been nice too.

Repetitive gameplay. I mean, I enjoyed it, but it's deeefinitely not a game you can play for hours on end. <_<

Pokémon Red/Gold
Lmao, shut up I know they don't go together but... well, basically everything I still wanted in the games was added either in the third game or in later generations. These are my favourites because in other generations they somehow managed to make certain aspects of these games worse so idk. :|

Tales of Symphonia
Uh. They added everything I wanted in the PS2 version, which in turn had crappy loads. They should COMBINE THE TWO and it'd be great. Oh, but I hated having so many party members. x_X Eight is way too many. (It can be pulled off, but ToS... didn't.)

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

It needed more of my favourite characters and being a little faster would be nice. Otherwise I'm fine with it, to be honest.

And it's either too easy or too hard (unknown >_<)

Tales of Symphonia :
The affection system. Yes it's cool to have slightly alternative endings, but all the focus is on your 'soulmate', leaving little character development to the other characters.

Tales of Symphonia -Knight of Ratatosk- :
The fact that everyone is complaining about it >_<
Yes it has some flaws, yes some things should have been done differently, but it still was a great game. So why does it seem like I'm the only one who enjoyed it? ;_;

Pokemon :
I don't know if there's anything I don't like about it...
What I would like to see in future games is : a DS G/S/C remake, and a game in which you can visit all regions

Right now the best pokemon game would be pokemon pearl because of the great collection of pokemon you can collect and import from your old gamesand trade via wifi but as new pokemon games come out it would change. However a game that is not pokemon would be The World Ends With You which is so awsome because of everything about it e.g. Story, fighting and visuals.

Two of my favourite games, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Mass Effect both suffer from the same problem, which is interiors basically having the same designs. For example, in Oblivion there are four different dungeon designs, though they at least variate slightly from each other, but in Mass Effect you enter one building, then another like it and notice they both look exactly identical. Becomes repetitive after a while seeing the same interiors over and over. Plus I'd recommend neither game to those looking for incredible gameplay.

Though despite those minor problems, I thoroughly enjoy them both for the amount of freedom they offer.

Final Fantasy VIII.
First of all: Rinoa Heartilly. 'Nuff said.

Also, the soundtrack wasn't very good compared to other games in the series. I must admit, the boss battle music is one of my guilty pleasures, but the regular battle theme made me cringe every time I heard it. ;~;

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: It was a little too slow. I think that's all I don't like about that game.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon
: The skateboard/snowboard crap was boring and too difficult.

Pokemon Stadium 2: The game is too good for words. But to top it all off, an adventure mode would have been awesome.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
: The graphics were terrible. D:

Wii Sports: Oh gosh, this game is terrific. I really don't think I can say anything bad about it. I think you should have the opportunity to play Wii Fitness whenever you want instead of having to move your Calendar up a day to play it again. But that's my only complaint. And it gets kind of boring when in single player mode.

Reading these posts made me think of a few more things to add to my list:

Banjo-Kazooie:
Reading a previous poster's post about boss stages, it irks me how you can't replay boss stages in Banjo-Kazooie. It would at least be nice if you could replay the final battle... but...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2:
Spoiler:
I hated how they just cut Grovyle right out of the plot near the end of the main game. I had become really attached to him.
Also, I hated those dungeons that had like a zillion floors. Often times I found myself saying "Can we just get to the end already?" only to have to face a save point and another 10 floors. Concealed Ruins was especially bad.
One last thing that got my goat... escort missions. I flat-out hated escort missions, which got increasingly worse as the game went on, since your client was always at a rather pathetic Level 7 regardless of what dungeon you were exploring. Escort missions have been my main source of Reviver Seed loss.


Paper Mario:
I disliked any boss or enemy that had the ability to restore its HP. Sure, Mario can restore his HP, too, but bosses tend to have a lot more HP than Mario has at that point in the game.
Other than that, I have next to nothing to complain about regarding this game.

Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town
Too many things to do in a day, not enough hours to do them. Time passes much too quickly in this game. Also, watering my crops always seemed to use up a good 90% of my stamina for the day, leaving me with barely any energy to do anything else.

Donkey Kong 64
Oh god, it needs less races. <_<; I suck at getting the bananas from those. I think they're the only ones I'm missing in most places.
I personally loved the races, but that's just me. The mini-game I most dreaded in DK64, though, had to be Beaver Bother... that game was pretty near impossible to beat. And they had to stick 2 bonus barrels containing this game in the Creepy Castle stage... groan...

They wouldn't be my favourites if I thought they had faults :p

Uhhh... I try to think of some things I don't like, but they won't be major.

Banjo-Kazooie
This was the best of the four major 3D N64 platformers. Hands down. A huge improvement over Super Mario 64. Didn't go overboard on collecting stuff like Donkey Kong 64 did. And doesn't have obnoxiously large (and boring. Terrydactyland is a horrible, horrible level) levels like Banjo-Tooie did. Perfect balance. What it lacked however, were more true boss fights. There was Nipper, Boss Boom Box, and Gruntilda - but otherwise boss battles were challenges or an attack by a group of regular enemies.

Yoshi's Island
Banjo-Kazooie is the best 3D platformer and Yoshi's Island is the best 2D platformer. Yoshi's transformations were underused. Or maybe they could've added a few different ones. And Baby Mario's cry is really, really annoying.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The only flaw is that stuff was cut out. And Hey! Look! Listen! Hello!? Watch Out!

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Too short. @[email protected] Had the potential to surpass OoT in every way. If OoT was only four dungeons, this game would be better.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
I didn't like Eagle's Tower. That dang orb is too easy to lose. And needed more Link and Marin. XD

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Again, too short. :c

Super Mario Bros.
I think it was World 8-3. I hate you Hammer Bros.! You've caused me much frustration.

Super Mario World
The graphics. I like the backgrounds. They captured the Mario feel and have been the inspiration for Sunshine and Double Dash!!. But, for the characters, creatures, and enemies...they could've used a bit more work. They looked better in the Mario All-Stars ports. I also don't like that there were so few power ups compared to SMB3. Unfortunately, we haven't seen the return of those power ups since, or had a Mario game with that many again. :c

GoldenEye 007
A couple of times when I played it and say...a timer was supposed to go off or some kind of event was supposed to happen and nothing happened. XD Happened often actually. Sucked because then I had to reset and try again when I did nothing wrong.

Metroid Prime
Magmoor Caverns should've been more fleshed out. I like the stacked weapons from Prime 3 better.

I think that's all of my favourites. Anything I would give a 10/10 anyway. And those are the only flaws I can think of.

And, you must really like Brawl, Erica. :p You have it listed twice. ... Donkey Kong 64 is one of your favourite games but you couldn't finish Banjo-Kazooie!? That's a crime.

I was about to say 'they're all RPGs', but then I remembered where I was.

Well, my favorite game...

Xenosaga
All three of them, of course, since it's kind of hard to have just 1 that's a favorite.

Really, Xenosaga needs no introduction. A trilogy of games made by Monolith. It's the pinnacle of PS2 RPGs (well, RPGs in general), taking the cliche 'save the world' theme, throwing it out the window along with most other cliches, and becoming something wholly original. In the end, you've got a labrynthine plot that at times, is rather confusing and twisted (you often don't know who the enemy really is), and at other times will bring a tear to your eye (come on, I know everyone shed a few during the Allen/Red Testament scene).

And since this is Xenosaga we're talking about, I think it only appropriate that I don't tell you what it's about. But rather, I should show you. By showing you a nifty little trailer of the overall series that a dedicated fan put together. I think it does the series justice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyUFPNTUevs&feature=related

Do I really need to say more? If you haven't played them, go play them.


And, because I have to, in order to fulfil the topic requirement. One thing I didn't like was in Episode II, battles had an abusively long load time (upwards of 15 seconds in some fights). Yes, the series does have flaws. Most of them didn't bother me, but this one was very hard to overlook.
