CONFESSION TIME (reveal your most unpopular tastes)

[The Maddest March Hare]

I do not like Half Life and found Left 4 Dead to be a short, uninspiring and incredibly dull attempt at a zombie game. I didn't even enjoy portal all that much.

I'm sorry Escapist..I'm sorry.

EA is a respectable company which does what it can to provide for customers and as well to make profit.

In doing so it keeps my cousin employed.

I think the GameCube is an awesome console. Specifically the controller; It molded perfectly to my hands. To this day, I don't understand why so many people hated it (at least where I live).

 

[A Pious Cultist]

I preferred the original, honkingly huge, Xbox controller to the revised version.

Do you have giant hulking hands the size of foam football ones?

Those were just impossible to use, probably a factor in avoiding an X-box for me.

 

[Legendairy314]

A good 90% of the games I play are shooters all on the 360.

Halo is the reason why I'm a gamer right now (though not really ashamed of it)

I haven't bought a single game for the Wii after Twilight Princess.

 

[Hyper-space]

Half-Life 2 and the eps are all meh.

So is portal.

MW2 is one of my favorite FPS's.

I do not really mind the buggs in Fallout: New Vegas.

Have not played Halo.

Valve is a okay (just very overrated) company, i guess.

I think (and have good reason for) that Oblivion was superior to Morrowind.

I think the increased customization in MW2 made it a better multi-player than MW1.

Graphics are a equal to gameplay and the quality of said graphics depends on what kind of game it is.

I tried to play Baldurs gate and Deus ex, could not get into it.

Same with Mass effect 2, the interface just made me mad, and confused.

Edit:

I play DDR as a workout

I am not a big fan of dance games, but that sounds pretty awesome.

Oh and i absolutely LOVE the Big Bang Theory.

Most of your arguments are related to "convenience" and "user-friendliness" both of which are easily solved with a lick of knowledge and common sense. I'll grant that just getting into PC gaming is intimidating, but spend a little time with the platform and most of your issues evaporate. You certainly are a product of the I-want-it-now generation.

Also...your arguments were true a little while ago, say 2005...but nowadays with online distribution, the entire process is a lot more streamlined and straight-forward. I find a game on steam...pay for it...go watch some T.V. and when I get back it's ready to play. Boxed games rarely have multiple discs.
I'd hate to hear what you'd think about PC gaming circa 1995.

It's funny really..PC's are trying to become consoles while consoles are trying to become do-it-all computers.

What?!? Did you just completely ignore my argument, no where in my post did I say I didn't understand how to. I said I shouldn't be forced to, playing a game is suppose to be fun, not a time consuming chore. I have the knowledge and I have the common sense to know how to

So what if I want a fun product now? If I want to get good at something I will go learn something practical like how to cook or play an instrument, if I want to have fun I will go put a disc in my console and play a game.

Online distribution is still not the major demographic in gaming, most still use discs. I do accept that steam is getting more popular however I also think strangling my internet all night isn't fun either

Okay I will go through my library of games
AoE 3- 3 discs
Mass Effect- 1
Sim City- 1
DaW 2- 2
DaW- 3 (Plus I have the expansions)
Warcraft 3- 3 (plus an expansion)
Rainbow Six Vegas- 1 but it doesn't work with the disc so I had to find a no CD crack

Installing something is not fun and is a pain in the arse to do with everyone of my games. Yet both are selling badly why the wii booms

Funny that

I'd rather not, PC gaming is bad enough as it is to me

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

- I love Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, and Katy Perry. There...I said it...I think they and their music are all awesome.

- I consider the live-action Transformers movies among my favorites.

- I really enjoyed FF13 and consider it my 3rd favorite FF of all time.

- I love my Wii, way better than my PS3 and 360 (not as much as my PS2 though)

I'm not really ashamed of any of this though. Just seems like something I should confess.

 

[SamHughes]

It took longer than 3 hours to complete the campaign in Modern Warfare 2

 

[yizas]

OMG i listen to gay romantic songs and stupid pop songs and a little my chemical romance

D:

 

[fgdfgdgd]

I played and loved LOTR: The Third Age.

I've never played a Final Fantasy game, and from what i've seen of them, i don't want to either.

I traded in Red Dead Redemption for Bad Company 2 and deeply regreted it and will fix this soon.

[small]...i liked the movie Super Bad.[/small]

 

[LazyAza]

I've been playing Lost Planet 2 for over 120 hours on PC past month or so and am going to continue playing probably well in to next year. Prior to this I played the PS3 version for about 60-80 hours.

And prior to that I played and finished the original game on 360 and PC a number of times.

So yeah, I kinda like the Lost Planet games, alot. One of my all time favorite games is also Oni (the PC version), the anime inspired 3rd person brawler/shooter made by Bungie before Halo that no one really liked at all as far as I know.

Oh and the Armored Core games, I own all of them.

 

[mrwoo6]

I play dark messiah of might and magic far to much, and it is one of my farvoite games of all time.

 

[FinalGamer]

I can't play the bad guy in any game with choice... it's just too hard...

I completely understand. I get very upset about doing anything bad in a game, even by accident.

 

[kasperbbs]

I thought back opes Sp was better then mw1/2..
I have been playing lineage 2 more than all of the other games combined. (i blame my friends with whom ive been playing for 5 years)

 

[Sephychu]

I genuinely enjoy Lady Gaga.

granted that meat suit was kinda.....insane, but I really like her music

With you there.

Also, I think the campaign of Black Ops is superior to that of Modern Warfare.

 

[Tonythion]

I...I like to read non-romantic fanfiction....I SAID IT there are you happy?
It has to be classy though, with good grammar and spelling.

Also a free one to bash my already shattered pride

Once a girl friend of mine had a sappy romance novel and she asked me to hold it for her while she went to the bathroom. I started reading it to make fun of it...I never gave it back because I liked it...

 

[Daffy F]

I think that all these new shooters are pointless, CoD, MW, all of them, I just don't see the appeal.

Wow. Huge bombshell. So original....

 

[Sacman]

I think the GameCube is an awesome console. Specifically the controller; It molded perfectly to my hands. To this day, I don't understand why so many people hated it (at least where I live).

I loved the Gamecube, but I hated the controller mostly because the buttons weren't touch sensitive, you actually had to click them down to a certain point for it to even register and the C-stick was about as useful as Western European peace treaties...
It's also too small for my hands... I have large hands...<.<

 

[MrGalactus]

I have no issue with health regeneration, especially if there's a reason given for it, like in Crackdown.
Non game related: Not a huge fan of democracy. Like hardcore Punk music, which is gross.
