All my favorite movies would be action games and therefore all sorts of been-there-done-that, so I'll go with Hard Candy which would be a mix of adventure, dating sim-like dialogue options and quick time events. On second thought that sounds awful, but I'd play any game where I can look at Ellen...

I clicked on the topic to say: invisible checkpoints (I'm ok with save points because I can see them, but going through an area and going "oooh, will this be a checkpoint/autosave?" just annoys me), unavoidable sections with different gameplay than the rest of the game (this goes for unskippable...

I agree, especially as some state this outright. Of course, there is no problem with that, but I can't help thinking that voting for the 1 game you liked most out of just 2 you played is not really fair for the poll. That being said I also voted for Planescape: Torment. It's like... there is no...

Absolutely awesome drawing. I lol-ed and was almost convinced. Unfortunately I'd rather just use a controller. 9 and 10, especially, sound to me like "Did you ever find yourself angry at the unresponsiveness of controls? Get ready for A Whole New Level of Frustration!" Other than that, it'd...

The problem with "open ended" is that often it's faked and in the end you realize your choices had little or no impact after all. Mass Effect is an exception that comes to mind though. That being said I like linear storytelling for 2 reasons: 1. chances are if there is one story and all...

This. I don't get why people say consoles are so much cheaper compared to a gaming PC when a console is a totally avoidable expense but a decent PC is needed for lots of other things aside gaming. Sure, I spent a lot on my current PC, but it's not like I could have avoided upgrading my old one...

The only rules I have can be reduced to "Don't waste time". When stuck or if the game has hidden content, use whatever resources available (guides to sidequests, walkthrough, maps etc). Never choose hard if it's available for a first playthrough. When in doubt, research instead of...

Exactly my reaction. In fact as I was watching and I saw the spiders, the dragon and the 'kiss his soul away' scene (complete with that cringe-worthy mumble of Expecto Patronum) I thought "Oh, I get it now, this is a New Harry Potter in the sense that it's a game for the entire series. That's...

Sadist. I loathe to feel pain, but have nothing against inflicting it on others if they want it. Moreover someone trusting me enough for that would be a huge turn on.

I'm with the people that see anime as a medium and say your description is over simplification. That being said, I can't say I'm a fan of the graphic style, by now I am so used to it (been watching anime for 20 years) I simply don't find it unusual. For various reasons I don't usually watch...

Theoretically I love both. Practically I've spent way more time playing JRPGs so that's where my vote has to go if I am being honest.

I lol-ed hard. Some games don't support multiplayer since their content isn't tailored for a team of characters. And that says nothing about how good that content is. Besides, slapping a multiplayer on all games wouldn't lead anywhere; a half-assed multiplayer mode wouldn't be able to compete...

Exactly this for me too. There is also the question of age. The younger the person, the less relevant gender becomes (well, and the crying too). Child of either gender crying? Nothing unusual. Teenager crying? GTFO. Adult person? Awkwardness.

Ever get really annoyed by a feature in a game? Constantly. There are few games where a feature does not annoy me at some point. Weren't those only in the PC version?

Meh. I agree with Assassinscreed548: monthly subscription MMO that does what single-player games with multiplayer option do = no go for me. I'd try it out (and probably not play it regularly) if it were f2p with the RTW points, like DDO is now. Then again I am by no means a fan of the genre...
