Notion: In my book, games are all about entertainment. If a game fails to entertain, for whatever reason, the game is a failure: It sucks. It's like watching the news, judging it as a French art movie. As a French art movie the news broadcast fails miserably. I don't need to compare a given broadcast to any other news broadcast, simply because, by judging every one of them as French art movies, they all fail in entertaining me. This said: I think it's valid to say "this game sux, period!" if it fails to give you anything you want of a game.

I was about to tear to pieces Mafia, but now that I accept the story/plot, I have to admit that even if it's one of them "trigger based obstacle courses" that I generally detest, I find the story so nicely told that I will give the game "accepted plus". I accept that it isn't a "game" as I would like it, but rather a movie, and it's entertaining. That's all I need

I thought Mafia was better than the best GTA when it didn't frustrate you to all hell, unfortunatly, that game was so *dirty word* hard, the only time it wasn't difficult as hell was when you free roaming, even then, cops would start plugging you for taking your gun out in public.

Frustrating? It's pisses me off like no other game LOL but I will continue, just to see the ending.

Mafia's great. Personally I never figured out why people thought it to be -that- hard. Be creative, and don't always take the obvious road

I still consider anything Davilex to be the crappiest X ever (X being utility, game or whatever program you can think of).

Navy Seals is pretty bad (not the Nintendo one, the Valusoft one) it's fun to play but it has a big bug so you cannot finish the game, also now and again you can walk through walls!!! Also the enemies run around like little ninnies sometimes.

Ethnic Cleansing.

You know, because extreme white trash parents aren't a bad enough influence on their kids. :tai:

There's a game similair to Ethnic Cleansing but it involves killing innocent Americans (including women and children) there are a few military personell you have to kill, but mostly it's just gross and disgusting murder.

OMG! :blink: That is a crappy game, by concept. But still, I like the idea of non-political correct games, just for the hell of it It's only that this game actually managed to go way too far, by having a serious agenda.

But I'd like a game where you are a German heavy machine gunner on Omaha beach, just to counter MoHAA. Or worse... Bwahaha.

Or a North korean soldier during the korean war...

Or playing the other side in Delta Force Black hawk down.

I actually made some very good missions (a campaign of 5 missions) for Delta force 2, involved vehicles, helicopter transport, airpower etc... and they were all to be played on russian side during cold war.

so the enemy had black hawks, and you had Mi-16 and such. it was quite interesting except that i couldn't get the voices to be ehm "american"... so the story was then set in areas with CIA supported warlords and commanders (such as in afghanistan).

unfortunatelly i deleted them after i mistakenly thought that i already burned them on CD. so they are lost now

but yeah some games that are "politically non-correct" (whatever that means in democracy) are fun. while others are not really interesting from a "normal" person's perspective.
