The cast from FFXIII. Not epic at all, just so satisfying... My real answer would be Solid or Naked Snake. In the jungle. With only a knife.

Demon's Souls, World 5-2, which is a giant poisonous swamp where you can't run or dodge, but the ennemies can move freely. I looked far ahead and saw what seemed like a group of normal trolls armed with clubs, so I decided I would lure them out one by one with arrows. These weren't normal...

"Pro" and "Elite/Leet/1337/whatever" are the worst offenders for me. Whenever I hear those terms to describe one's skill or performance, I can't help but think of an arrogant bully who considers himself/herself as the member of a "superior" class of players, dismissing other players as pawns (or...

Maybe this is a good thing after all. There are so many games coming out that we don't have time to play them all. With this ad-infested new generation completely destroying our interest for future games, there will be plenty of time to catch up and enjoy all those missed opportunities... at a...

I would recommend Kingdom of Loathing. A funny free browser game, mostly point-and-click with minimal typing required. However, you've got a limited number of turns per day so you'll need another game to play when they're all spent. You could revisit some old RPGs like Baldur's Gate 1-2, Icewind...

This. I pretty much gave up on Final Fantasy after playing XIII. XII was refreshing for me even if the characters and story were particularily bland. It had a great combat system, a wide open world and many things to do on the side. It also had CITIES! With MERCHANTS and PEOPLE to talk to! In...

Videogames : Bard-like characters, because they usually end up singing songs in the back while the other characters share the glory and fun. Perhaps I would consider playing a Bard if the game contains enough speech and charisma challenges to make it interesting. Tabletop : Monks or Martial...

I always wanted to play TES with friends in coop. "Diablo 2"-like coop, where you can create and join games with a limited amount of players and partake in the quests. But I don't think this MMO will provide the kind of experience I want. I already see forced 3rd person view, action bars...

I'd love to forget everything I played back to the first time I rented a PlayStation with FFVII. I remember the awe I felt during the opening sequence and later when exiting Midgar and exploring the world for the first time, hearing this music : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFs8-qGaoHU

Like I said earlier, I'm not against all forms of fast travel. It's just that I'd prefer it to be integrated to the game world instead of simply being a teleport button to anywhere. Also, I don't mind showing major quest locations with a marker on the map, but if I'm supposed to search for...

I'm not saying there shouldn't be any way of travelling quickly in a game world. In Morrowind you could fast-travel in various ways, just not as soon as you put a foot outdoors. It's just that having the capacity to teleport at will breaks the immersion for me. Unlimited fast-travel, coupled...

This. I always end up following a little dot on the map or compass instead of exploring and enjoying the scenery... For the same reason, I think Fast Travel kinda ruins the game for me. Just having the option to teleport from quest to quest ruins my experience.

Yeah I'm playing MW3 but I haven't finished unlocking everything so I didn't see the Dead Man's Hand Deathstreak. I looked it up and yeah, that's complete BS. I'm totally against giving rewards to bad players. That's not how you resolve a balance issue. I don't mind the choppers, because I...

CoD Killstreaks. They're unfairness incarnate. Winning? Here, take those toys! You clearly need them! Losing? Shut up and take it while the big boys are having fun, noob... Here's a speed boost so you get killed more quickly. Stop wasting our time!

I chose mandatory party members but only for the main protagonist, which is supposed to be YOU. Also I hate being forced to bring along a lame party member, usually the "comic relief" that has no real reason for sticking around...
