I don't know, ran smoothly on all of my rigs after community patch 1.6. 1.75 only adapted it to then modern rigs (had those pin stripes all over the place).


Now to the OP.
Baldur's gate 2 - mirrored sprites for characters irritated me, certain quest/map structure wasn't as likable as in BG1. Dunno why, colour me strange.
Not exactly videogame fault, but certain changed in (A)DnD caused "meh" feeling in BG2;ToB due to epic levels. NWN1 was just one huge WTF, regardless of changes caused by 3rd Ed. which I hate with passion - IWD2, despite being based on same rulesset was much more enjoyable. KotOR too, as it inherited certain things from NWN1. I especially like shooting - bunch of people stands few metres away from each other, yet nobody can't hit anyone. Such visceral, much engagement, very interest.
Same mantra goes to Dragon Age: Origins, when playing for fighters. I literally sprained my jaw while playing that class, so I swap my character for mage, and it became a bit less painful to play.
DA2. Combat animations were such visceral, much engagement, very interest, so I just can't play it.
Mass Effect, especially 2 and 3. Not only bioware clearly showe they can't into RPG, they also demonstrated they can't into shooter.

Basically every bethesda game, mostly TES, and, sadly, Fallout 3 (and New Vegas, as collateral of things, inherited from Fallout 3 (engine, ballistics, animations)). While looking interesting on paper, every installment (excluding older Arena and Buggerfall), had a lot of WTF elements. Ironically Skyrim happened to be decent Gothic, and yes, I mean those little "life simulation" thingies, like people trying to look like they are working in fields, with tools, with objects, etc. Good, in 2011 Bethesda finally was able to copy Pyranha Bytes' decade old ideas. And finally NPCs doesn't look like they have bipolar disorders:
- Hey, you, we urgently need to speak!
- ...
- Get lost, I don't want to see you!
And combat there just... ugh. There is good first person melee game, called Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Which is the only FP melee game I like.
Plus, finally Skyrim is about open spaces, northern nature, why force us into catacombs again? I'm tired from them in Daggerfall. Stahp!

Almost any game with QTE, minus Witcher, as "QTE" there was combat-related, was subtle, and easy to use. In fact that's the only QTE I miss, because I like it more than clickfest in W2. Which is still better than competitors.

Almost any game from Ubisoft where you have to climb towers. Okay, I'll broaden this - almost every improperly ported a.k.a. "multiplatform" game. .
Take Assassins Creed. This is not series of games where good assassins fights bad templars, it's a series of games where people fights with bad controls.
Far Cry isn't much better, FC2 had those respawning checkpoints, jamming guns and... What else? FC3 lost those features, but if I saved game somewhere, I want to find my character exactly at same spot I left him, not at nearest respawn point. And weapon system there is just another reason to suspect cross-contamination between bEAware and ubi. Plus game's attempts to access dem internets.

Splinter Cell 2, and especially 4. Something wasn't right with them, especially SC4.

Watch_dogE. "Hacking is your weapon". If "hacking" is when you shoot something from AK, then it is.

Resident Evil 4, which was horribly ported to PC. Resident Evil 5, because it was difficult to play Single-player, and RE6, because it doesn't understand what kind of game it is.

Most things from Peter Molyneux. I meat latest installments.

Battlefields. triple-eh games that work (actually don't) worse than some titles from Steam's Early Access. Such quality, much entertainment, very pricey.

X-Rebirth. Also needs "Early Alpha build" badge instead of release.

DE:HR: Director's cut. Who cut the director? Apparently he was bleeding profusely, as this "improved" version worse than original.

Stalker. That one, with dots. All three of them.

Wasteland 2's interface, skills, and, especially, weapon system, I wonder if same guy set Browning High-Power's weight in Fallout Tactics at 6 pounds:D.. Despite this, still one of my favorites of this year.


Rugby FTW!
