www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3133778&did=13(btw... sorry if this is realy old news) I dont care how correct it is for those other games to be there... but Ys being anywhere near that list is just plain wrong. same goes for Lufia III. And even though i realy didnt like Donkey Kong 64, i still found it fun. maybe they should have put some actual boring games on that list, like Bebe's Kids *falls asleep*

I found that review misleading and funny. How can they think that running into enemies is boring? At the beginning of the game, it's a tiny bit understandable as there are no mazes. But as soon as the "irritating" labyrinths of knowledge pop up, concentration upon solving the little dickens (I know mazes aren't alive but I LOVE that word) grows so much that the monsters are obliterated without notice! (unless you're at a low level)

Lufia and Ys definitely don't belong in a top ten boring list!
Lufia The Legend Returns is the third Lufia game, but not Lufia III. Neverland saved the III for if they ever are going to make a console Lufia game.

I see they gave Halo 2 a 10. LMAO
Ys, King's Field, and Lufia have no business being on that list. They should change the name of that list to, "games that posers and graphics whor** woulden't like".

Yeah, anybody who dares to say that Paladin's Quest is boring definitely ingests lots of peen. 1up.com is trash anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

"And Halo 2 is a very good game. 10 out of 10, not even. But the pendulum swings both ways. "Old-school" does not equal good any more than "new" does. "
i guess u mean that everyone has their own opinon on whats good/bad, or boring/fun.
I dont like halo.. although its good for what it is, i guess.
but the fact remains that there are much worse and more boring games than those listed there. Much worse than both Halo 2 and Ys... and that everyone would probably agree about.
anyone remember Bebe's Kids? (NES or SNES, i forgot which).

Were they on drugs or something? It was only an 7, at best. The story was confusing, lame and honestly bad... the only nice features it had was using 2 guns (so both L and R trigger) and playing the avatar but man, it needed a lot of improvement... A lot of time I felt like "what am I suppose to be doing again?"

Sorry to set off a 2d vs. 3d debate Some may have misinterpreted my pointing out of the Halo 2 score. I'm implying that if Halo 2 represents their perfect game they haven't seen much. Just like how Ys is on their most boring shortlist. They don't know what their talking about. I think this article has served 1up well. I would never have heard of this trash rag had they not made some stupid claims like these. Publicity for them Not a 2d vs. 3d debate. I love 3d graphics.

Case closed. I argue both sides, thus I always win. Both sides tend to make shitty games too =D Is that the same as being for and against both sides? Anyway, whoever made that 1up thing is trash and needs to take it down because obviously if I set a nintendo console down in front of them and handed them "Mario/Duckhunt" they'd look at me like I was crazy.

Spoken like a true artist. The only opinions that SHOULD matter are your own. The only ones I get upset about are the ones that will sway the audiences opinions on "buy this" or "do not buy this" because believe it or not, people do listen, and good games lose credibility that way.

When 3D was on the rise, I was kind of an idiot. I disliked 3D, but, I think it was Tomb Raider that changed my mind. I actually used to hate FPS's, but I like them now. But yeah, there are some games, that are better in 2D or 3D respectively. Like for me, both Metroid & Mario are better in 2D, not that the 3D ones stink, I just enjoy the 2D ones more, especially with Metroid.
BTW, the 3rd Lufia game isn't Lufia 3? Well, that's cool, I didn't enjoy it as much as 1 & 2. Lessee, I can't rememeber, is the 4th game numberless as well(too lazy to go look at my GBA games)?

^^^ no, the 4th game released is more like a spin off.. it's main story doesnt have anything to do with the core story of Lufia I and II with the sinistrals and the bloodline of Maxim... its even less of a sequal than Lufia TLR is (which is funny, cuz I would think of TLR as a sequal, so I dont know why they didnt officialy call it Lufia 3... *waits for SinReVi*)
and I got worked up over it for the same reasons Lilia mentioned... but seriously, I think 1up had the wrong choice o f words when calling it "boring" or something... guess i just dont see it through there eyes.
they didnt realy say much on what made each game so unbeleivably "boring" (enough to make it onto a list) compared to other games...
but yeah, sometimes i dont realize that things like these dont realy have too much of an impact on the gaming public. there are many criticaly acclaimed games that still flop (f-zero GX, for one... truely a shame) still, any of my most favorite games making a list like that is sad... :/ but ill live, seeing how, after all.. it's 1up (a lot of ppl i know dont like the site a lot... although, mostly nintendo fans ^_^')

The odd thing is that people are really fickle. Frequently games that are well-reviewed and well-liked are poor retail performers, like Frequency, Rez, Beyond Good & Evil, etc. Or Monster Hunter. Good god that is an awesome PS2 game, probably the only one I like, but GameSpot gave it a 4/10, and Fable a 10 across the board. Even though obviously it should have been reversed.

Your numbers are a bit off. They gave Monster Hunter a 5.7 and Fable an 8.6. Gamespot tends to score games lower than many other places, as opposed to IGN scores trending higher. Actually, I gave a little mis-information. It was Game Informer, sorry. It took me a moment to realize which magazine we had. The point is though someone must have been bought out. :/

AAAAAARGH! Lufia TLR is a sequel, but Neverland didn't call it Lufia III, because they wanted to safe the "III" for if they ever are going to make a console Lufia game.

lol! well, thats good news, thanks SinReVi
but, i have to say it IS odd, seeing that it's a sequal to the first 2 games, regardless of the platform..
but its better this way (this means that theres an even better chance that there could be a new console one on the way... someday... hopefully)
