cinnibar island is probably the place where you stopped. it's a volcano island in thejhoto games

and that pikachu is the only one in the game and it is possible to teach that pikachu how to surf. you need it on your team in pokemon stadium and complete the Prime Cup MasterBall tournament in Round 2. you can teach it surf or fly.

Some more trash:

• Dragon Quest VII, PS1 version - The pacing is awful, especially in the notorious beginning. Takes literally hours to get to the first fight; not the first boss, but the first anything. The job system doesn't become available until halfway through the game, which would be near the end of the game for the average RPG with that much time spent. All this while feeling behind the times compared to what it could be on that system. Luckily, the 3DS remake fixes most of the issues.
• Ys IX - Imagine if someone took Ys VIII, the best entry in the series, and tried to make everything that was good about it terrible. All the beauty of the series is gone, replaced with ugly character designs and a prison colony (note to writers: Never set your story in a place that is by design devoid of stimulation unless you actually have something to say about the prison system). Raid battles are worse than in VIII: semi-automatic, slow paced, way more common, mandatory, and unrewarding. Story is dumb as rocks: Adol breaks out of an unbreakable prison, only to break back in and out over and over again while reminding us that noone can break out of it. Oh, and for some reason the writer stops the story early on to go on a rant about how much he hates the poor and you're wrong if you help them. Never finished the game after that, and you couldn't pay me to do so.
• Metroid: Other M - "The baby! The baby! The baby!" Samus is too scared to fight literally the same enemy she always fights for reasons that never stopped her before? And she refuses to use her full arsenal because some sado-masochistic idiot told her not to? How did Smash Bros do better at characterization for her in the very little character development it had than this game did?
• Makaimura for WS - Plenty of things about the Ghosts N' Goblins series can be frustrating, but not the soundtrack, which is usually great. The Wonderswan version's soundtrack is mostly high-pitched garbage, though.
• Haunted Castle - Castlevania prototype with gameplay so bad it's near unplayable. I haven't played the remake, so I can't judge that.

The remake of Haunted Castle is really cool! Easily the best bonus in the best of the castlevania collections

Shining neo don't like maybe Diablo esq game style for a shining game

My shit take: I hate Pokémon.
Please allow me to explain before you judge; when I was young, my younger sister often watched the TV show before going to school; this is before the games and card game blew up into what it is in America, back when it was still very new in the states and hadn't gotten a lot of media attention; back then, only the nerdiest kids liked Pokémon, and it wasn't cool to be nerdy or into video games at that time. That said, I've always been in a kind of proxy to Pokémon as a series.

Found out you could not get Pikachu and I became immediately disinterested; some years later, I heard about a game you could start with Pikachu as your main starter Pokémon, so I changed my tune and decided to try it.

After getting to Mt. Moon and getting 3 gym badges, I was devastated to learn that you needed to catch other Pokémon to use HMs and learn abilities to pass obstacles, and that was when I gave up.

...Or was it? No, a temporary failure, but I decided to perservere, and got all the way to.. Volcano place of some sort, I don't remember the name. Only that I had 7 badges before I quit playing the game entirely. I think it was because I wanted to teach Surf to my Pikachu, and didn't feel like putting in the effort to catch a water Pokémon it would work on.

So, my first attempt at Pokémon was of me trying to solo Pokémon Yellow with a pikachu. I've never really looked at the series the same since. I still think about it now and then, but then I realize that there's millions of games I could be playing and having more fun doing so.

But it's not even all that which made me despise Pokémon; it's the fanbase.

Thank you for coming to my rant.

HM disliker, Hot Take forgiven

LOVED the first 2 installments of Ghost Recon....

Ghost Recon
Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Everything after that was junk!!!

LOVED the Rainbow 6 franchise too.

Then everything went to hell after Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

WTF??? Not everyone does team/player vs team/player. What happened to campaign and campaign co-op???

 

[Zarathusta]

Dragon Quarter best one.
Also probably Fire emblem 7 for me.

 

[maciintosh]

I've been a Pikmin fan pretty much all my life, and while I did still enjoy Pikmin 4 when it released (Although I admit part of that enjoyment came from the wait between mainline entires), it's still the weakest game in the series. Pikmin 4's main gimmick, Oatchi, makes pretty much every combat encounter a cakewalk, especially considering that the game isn't exactly the hardest in the series in the first place. Some odd design choices, such as only being able to have 3 types of Pikmin on the field at once (Especially considering Pikmin 4 has the widest variety of Pikmin types in the series) hinder the game severely, and overall it feels closer to a collect-a-thon rather than being focused around the strategic time-management the other mainline games in the series excel at.

 

[MasterEn]

Dragon Quarter best one.
Also probably Fire emblem 7 for me.

i had to look that one up to remember which installment that was.
fe7 has a good cast of gorgeous babes in it [lyn, florina, isadora, vaida, farina, ursula, and leila] and it definitely is more improved over 6, where they first introduced the support system. i would have to play that game with a walkthrough to finish it.

Resident Evil: Operation “Disaster” — Or Why I Can’t Forgive Raccoon City

Many of us grew up with the iconic Resident Evil series. It became synonymous with quality survival horror, immersing us in grim stories filled with zombies, mysterious corporations, and tense gameplay. But, as is the case even with the best, the series has had its fair share of ups and downs.

One of the most controversial entries in the franchise, for me, is Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. I don’t even know where to start—should I mention the ruined atmosphere? The mediocre story that seems to forget which universe it’s set in? Or the gameplay that makes you want to quit faster than running from a Licker?

This game feels like a strange, poorly thought-out attempt to please everyone, but in the end, it pleased no one. It doesn’t evoke fear like the classic entries. It doesn’t deliver thrilling action like Resident Evil 4. Instead, we’re left with a product I wouldn’t dare to touch even in a heavily inebriated state.

The idea of a team-based shooter set in Raccoon City might have sounded intriguing on paper. But the execution is so lackluster that I can’t help but wonder why Capcom decided to release it at all.

F-zero GX is easly the most frustrating game, even on easy you will be crushed to no end, first you will bump like a pinball for staring wrong at the rails, second the infamous Rubberband AI trope is present here, not being able to reach to 5th place, let alone mantain it

 

[Akuwiz]

Final Fantasy XII

For me is X-2

 

[Blamhammer]

MGS Phantom Pain. I know it's technically incomplete but damn was it boring. Also what happened to the characters from Peace Walker with...you know? Character? Had to stop playing. Didn't even got to that old man.

I consider Ys 8 to be disappointing. I begun playing the Ys games from the beginning last year and had a blast with them. Falcom did quite a good job with bringing them to life in these games, really made me like them all. Even Chester and Duren (or as I like to call him - Discount Dogi).
I'm not sure what happened with 8, was it a new writer? I could not vibe with any of the characters, or even identify where in the writing or story I was supposed to care about them. Everything else is a blur after that because the secret ending annoyed me. The writers seriously wanted me to be okay with that after playing the rest of the games over 2024?! Good lord I refuse!

 

[85FLIP]

GTA is one of my favorite franchises. However my least favourite is the very first one. Its not a bad game, but the future titles made improvements over time and the stories got better with every release

 

[PepThePerson]

I love Trials. You know, the funny motorbike games. However, I could never get into the newest one. It felt boring and lifeless in comparison to the other parts, and the handling wasn't my cup of tea either.

 

[faceless0man]

I don't know why i want to share/talk about this. I love doing tier list and stuff, but to be quite fair i tend to be very positive about the media i like

Let's change that. What is for you the worst game of the franchises you like.

I will start with my two favorites at the moment: Castlevania and Fire Emblem.

Castlevania is very obvious to me... is Judgement.
View attachment 9601

Is a mess that i can't really defend. The existence of this game is a lot of missed potential and it hurts. I love fighting games and i love Castlevania. But this game does not make justice to the concept of a Castlevania Fighting game. At least it has great music (because it mostly remixes of already great songs) and i like some of the designs of the characters, even if they are a bit polarizing. Also shout out to this game for recognizing Grant (but why no characters from the Sorrow games, Soma and Julius would be soo cool).

And for Fire Emblem i had a more hard deciding what game i disliked the most (aside from Heroes) but to be honest i think the game i wanna replay the least is Fire Emblem Fates Birthright.
View attachment 9604
Previously i had Revelations lower but to be honest, Revelations at least make me feel something: Pain and annoyance. BUT Birthright is just boring. It has nothing going for it, the characters are cool but they are also on the Revelations Route, and i find them enjoying more of them in that route because Birthright is really boring and easy. Also i hate Kill all the enemies objectives and Birthright is Fire Emblem Genocide Route in terms that it is mostly rout maps. Which ironic because is supose to be the the good guys route. The story is bad in all of the Fates Routes, but Birthright is the blandest one by far. At least Conquest and Revelations have the "is soo bad that is funny" kind of story.

Thats all from me. Hope you are having a great day and i will love to read some of your least favorites :3

1,: The mother fock@#@ saint's row 4 fock yall for running a franchise that had EVERYTHING saint's row 2 was a masterpiece to me , ton of clothing,insane car customization, buying lands and expanding territory, good Bosses and final battles amazing story, and then there is hot garage 4.

2 : resident evil 6 , too much action and no fear or scaredness , too long to Play and doesn't feel rewarding

3 : no more room in hell 2 , its just so bad

it is the after thode of kojima , he was done when he did mgs4

 

[CaptainJupiter]

I love the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, but yakuza 3's combat is so bad its unbearable. The version playable of modern consoles is basically identical to the OG PS3 version (but with a better English translation I think, and slightly better looking), and its gameplay is awful. Its an action game where the enemy AI basically perma-blocks everything, making even random street fights a pain. It sucks because Yakuza 1 & 2 got remakes and Yakuza 4 has had good gameplay since release, Yakuza 3 stands out as the black sheep that has the same high quality story/characters of the series but with gameplay that is barely tolerable by turning it down to easy and making it a non issue.

 

[starseeker300]

Fire Emblem 7.

the map design is either braindead or has bad gimmicks(especially night of farewells and the one desert chapter where you have to race pent to get enough exp to do the gaiden chapter). Also it is way too long (31 chapters is like ten chapters too many) and none of the characters were interesting enough for me to care about them. The story is awful as well the black fang make no sense, somehow there are a million of these secret assassins that no one has ever heard of that go around killing corrupt noble's but also employ corrupt nobles like Pascal and other twisted dudes like kenneth and jerme

it is by far the worst mainline fire emblem game in my opinion with the only redeeming quality being the solid base of strategy rpgs that the game is built on which isnt saying much for it becasue the rest of the series is also built on that

 

[Big Finger Jim]

Yakuza is my favorite game series of all time. Dead Souls is probably worse in every way, bad enough to where I didn't even get to Amon, but nobody cares about it and it's been rotting in the dust where it belongs. Yakuza 5, on the other hand, is the second most grueling experience I've had playing a game. The actual gameplay is probably the best out of the PS3 games, which isn't saying much since pretty much everything 0 and on just elevates it, but the dull, shallow, poorly written story that is like 80% filler spread throughout 21 chapters just completely decimated any good will I had for the game. I will say, Shinada's a fun character, the hunting minigame was alright, and the soundtrack was pretty decent, but that might genuinely be the only stuff I got out of the game. Also, 120+ hours of MY TIME just to end on what genuinely is the absolute worst attempt at a twist villain I've ever seen LEFT ME FEELING LIKE A HUSK. GOD DAMN IT. In all fairness, though, at least it's not Nirvana Initiative.

Ff13 didn't like the battle system at all.
