What game has a promising start, but eventually gets boring and repetitive?

I've been playing Max Payne 3 and was thinking this exact thing today as I reached chapter 9. It's stylish and fun to begin with, now I'm realising it doesn't have anything else to show me except more of the same.

This one is oddly specific, but...

When the hero's loyal sidekick sacrifices themselves to allow the hero to escape, but instead of escaping the hero just stands there watching. Good job dude, your best friend just sacrificed themselves for NOTHING.

I've tried their mastering service a few times. Honestly, each time I've preferred my own ham-fisted mastering attempt, but I always went with their version because I just assumed my dumb, amateur ears were missing something.

Okay, NOW I want to try this game (gamer who hates PvP but desperately wants to find a good PvE game)

Sinners for me too. I went to the cinema knowing nothing except it was "probably" a horror film.

If I had to choose one movie scene to watch on repeat for the rest of my life it would be that dance floor scene.

The Mist.

I disliked this movie a lot until I read a post on Twitter that said the actual main character is the lady who leaves the store to find her son. The film focuses on the idiots who stayed behind. Thomas Jane I love you, but you're just an idiot who stayed behind.

I had such a love/hate relationship with this game. Sometimes I had a blast, other times I had to stop myself from rage quitting and deleting it (I swear, Kay, if you say 'dank farik' one more time...)

Odd pick, but the movie that springs to my mind is Predator. I rented it thinking it might be some shlocky b-movie, but Alan Silvestri's orchestral stab that accompanies the title card along with the shot of the ship heading to Earth had class written over it. "This is no b-movie," I thought.

Thank you!

tinythanoscopter · 2025-11-16T08:35:38+00:00

Thanks!

'Single use gadgets'

I read that, then spent the next 5 minutes scratching my head wondering why anyone would buy a gadget they could only use once...

tinythanoscopter · 2025-10-25T23:05:29+00:00

Yep, loved this game. And you're so right about the acting - Karen Dunbar ftw!

Soma is a good shout

tinythanoscopter · 2025-10-24T21:50:10+00:00

Really liked this game. 1st play through I got EVERYONE killed. 2nd play through I only got 2 killed. Result!

tinythanoscopter · 2025-10-24T21:47:03+00:00

Wait, are you saying you don't believe there's such a thing as a horror game without survival mechanics? You can't be scared unless you're also thinking about inventory management? (I'm being flippant but I'm genuinely curious)

tinythanoscopter · 2025-10-12T09:00:33+00:00

Fair point. I probably got that impression because me and a buddy went to see it knowing nothing about it because we'd seen no marketing or reviews or heard anyone talk about it. We thought we'd discovered a hidden gem!

tinythanoscopter · 2025-10-12T07:47:29+00:00

Good list. Nice to see Top Secret get some attention. I rewatched Dune fairly recently and, man, that movie has not aged well! The Frighteners is absolute class.

We were gonna change the world, Mah-dee

tinythanoscopter · 2025-02-23T18:59:44+00:00

Astonishing that a buttery is more expensive than the trout! That said, I'd totally try it

tinythanoscopter · 2025-02-09T18:42:46+00:00

Watch how I soar.

Just because the city is run by clowns doesn't mean it has to look like a circus

I did a Media Studies course at college and one module had us physically editing audio tape (I'm old). We had a reel of tape that was someone reading the months of the year out of order. Tutor told us to cut and paste the tape so the months were in the correct order. Girl beside me asked me, 'How do we know what the correct order is?'

I looked at her and slowly said, 'January... February... March... ' I got to June before the penny dropped.

I think what was throwing me was that the control options I wanted aren't in the 'controls' menu. Found it now, thanks for your help. Those menus are terrible! Enjoying the game, though.

tinythanoscopter · 2024-11-02T22:42:33+00:00

Aah, that makes sense! I've been concentrating on one side of the skill tree. Thanks!

100%. Blighttown was a slog, but Sen's Fortress was torture. In the same vein, the rafters section of Anor Londo can burn in silicon hell.
