I'm struggling, genuinely, to find anything positive to say here. Perhaps, PERHAPS Rayman Legends could be considered good (even then it's a bit of a stretch) but the rest are close to irredeemable. Fuck it. I'll give you a free pass on Shadow of Mordor that's alright. Regardless you're a certified plebian, check out the battle for middle earth II, you might like that, plus it is a patrician's choice.

Best combat system by far.Definitely check out the FFXII IZJS then, that'd be right up your ally. I'm trying to get the world record fastest time in beating Omega Mrk.XII, just need to get lucky with his elemental weakness spawn and I should be set. After that I want to get 99 of his rare weapon drop, (the worst weapon in the game) That alone will probably take me a few thousand hours, but it'll be worth it.

Because you posted a nice long comprehensive list, I'm just going to judge you off your SS. Unfortunately, that list only contains two good games, them being : Worms 2 and Unreal Tournament 2003-2004. What truly bamboozles me is the fact that a rational being, (which I no longer think you are), could sit-back and think to themsleves the following : "I believe that the objective, obscure, cult-classic masterpiece that is Enemy Territory: Quake Wars belongs in the lowest slot of my rating system. Furthermore I believe that Super-Reddit Brothers 4 belongs orders of magnitude above this."This enrages me. Truly enrages me. More than perhaps any other list here. I take no joy in this judgement, yet nor do I hesitate in dealing it. Certified low-moderate-tier plebian.

I take no joy in this judgement, yet nor do I hesitate in dealing it. Certified low-moderate-tier plebian. It was a solid title, yes, but it had flaws, particularly with the AI, that hampered my enjoyment of the game. I'd often crash ingame and I found that a lot of teams were stacked with Covert Ops/Infiltrator, which severely hampered the online gameplay. One could expect to do well with kills, without reliably defending the objective, making it annoying regardless of who's team they're on. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people be killed by a disguised enemy outside the Spawn gates/in a good hiding spot because they're too stupid to recognize a teammate running straight for them. This, combined with the Tormentor and Anansi being pretty much broken unless the opposing team had a particularly proficient driver of a vehicle with a Machinegun really dragged down the grade. That said, I still enjoy the game and play it to this day. Also Sm4sh is my current go-to game, and I haven't actually tried to be anywhere near this competitive since Halo CE in the late 2000's. It genuinely has me hooked. I don't feel I need to explain my choices further.
It saddens me that you judge a game soleley based on it's 'playability' and 'functionality', a true patrician sees through the low-budget poor budget of a game with shitty AI to see the concept. The kernel of the vidyas soul that lays at the center of every game. It's like that special job that takes years and years of training to determine the sex of chicks by squeezing them correctly. 6 digit salary might I add. Once you learn to squeeze games correctly to determine their sex, then you will return to my thread, and you will return as a patrician but it not this day.
