CONFESSION TIME (reveal your most unpopular tastes)

[Extasii]

I love Pokemon
I play DDR as a workout (in addition to the gym)
I read BOOKS
I love the movie August Rush
I watch musicals (Sweeney Todd is AMAZING)

 

[Extasii]

Megan Fox is unimpressive.

Totally 100% agree
Rachel McAdams is far better IMO

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Still haven't completed Half Life 2, and don't intend to.

Also, I don't find Ellen Page attractive. At all.

I'm glad Firefly ended when it did. (I feel the need to defend that statement, so what I mean is this - it was an ultimately goalless series in a setting traditionally dedicated to some form of grandiose mission on the part of the protagonists. Without a clearly defined mission, sooner or later the series would have run stale. Better it goes out loved and honoured than once it's overstayed its welcome)

 

[Eliam_Dar]

I like the movie "Parent's trap", don't know why, it's just stronger than me.

 

[veloper]

I like the art of anime and manga (I only dislike the stories and characters usually found within).

 

[HentMas]

I actually bought halve of the games i own purely out of the "hipe" and still deffend them... althought i know some of them are shit...

i buy every collection edition i can find... even thought i play with the "stuff" 3 days and then let it rest on my wall...

I really really find "Visual Novels" entertaining and actually play them for the storyes... wich if they are filled to the brim with "cursi-flowers-pink hearts-love" i find them awesome and cry for i would love to find a girl that kind of resembles the heroines on the storyes...

I´m 25, divorced and have a 3 years old kid

 

[Mehplep]

I don't like Star Wars. In fact, I think it was written by a five year old. (This one is 100% true; everyone hates me for this opinion.)

Actually no. I never liked the Star wars either. I mean, didn't hate them, but don't see the reason they are so big or why they should be so appreciated.

 

[noble cookie]

I like Halo and Call of Duty.

Suck on that b*tch

 

[York_Beckett]

Okay, here goes...


Damnation kicked arse.

Oblivion is quite possibly the most uninteresting game I have ever played.

I've always enjoyed the Harry Potter games.

Equilibrium is awesome.

The only Final Fantasy games I've ever liked are Dirge of Cereberus and Crystal Chronicles. Hate the others. ALL THE OTHERS.

I liked Silent Hill 4 better than the first one.
... and the movie was good.

I prefer Velvet Assassin over Splinter Cell.

I liked Ghostbusters 2.

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

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

Damn, you got to it before me.

Sorry to thread jack but some people have very odd views...
I'll grant #1. My gaming PC was $800...but it can play more games than your single console. I have over 4 times as many games (number pulled out of ass) than you do on a console.

The only difference in installing a PC game to a Console game is you get to choose which folder to put it in. Consoles are constantly requiring updates as well. Windows updates automatically.

Consoles have just as many pirates, though I don't see how, other than DRM, that affects your play experience.

With controls and the PC, you always have the option to just use an Xbox360 controller for fighting games, or a wheel and pedals for racing games...your point is moot.

It takes me 2 minutes to join a TF2 game from the desktop, 3 to get into Mass Effect, one minute for COD4... my PC is always on. If it's not, it's a 3 minute boot-up.

I've never run into performance issues. It's very, VERY easy to ascertain how well your PC will handle a certain game based. If you have difficulties, you should have built your rig better.
A bit better graphics? The second you bought your console it was obsolete, and other than getting a bigger HDD, you're stuck with it.

Sorry...but it just sounds like you are blindly following a particular idiom without actually paying attention to, well, anything beyond your own short view. I know it's your opinion and I respect that...but you are basically spouting off lies here.



ON TOPIC....Mass effect is a pile of boring crap. I'm having to force myself through it...that's not a good game.

I have lots of console exclusives I'd much rather play then most of the PC library, bar a few rts's

On a computer I have to find the file online, I have to then download it, install the file and then finally I have the patch. With a console I press a button and it's all done for me. A simple question of convenience that is much more attractive to live with

It is far more difficult to pirate a console game though, with PC gaming I can search almost any game, program or file and I can instantly find a torrent. With console gaming I usually have to do that, maybe add a modifier chip or a special piece of hardware

That's just another thing I have to pay for though. I'm a student, I either buy a controller or I eat so I just stick with a mouse and keyboard unless someone gives me one

I mean for the first time. For PC gamers you have to install the disk, verify you are not a pirate through a serial key, usually switch between CDs, then download all the patches. It is so user unfriendly, I just want to have fun and play a game, not go though all of this crap.

Maybe loading up, I will be fair, load times on oblivion are slightly faster on my PC than my xbox but honestly that is not enough of a benefit to me

Obsolete? Yeah until I can actually sell mine on later while you are stuck with your PC for life. I'd rather ave something I don't need to change, upgrade or do anything to, as long as it works then I am fine with that

Why is it whenever someone makes a simple observation through their own experiences. No PC gamin misses the point of gaming of sacrificing convenient pick up and play, expensive systems & upgrades, irritating patches, a community which a majority intends to damage their medium and all for what? Faster load times, better graphics and a preference controller . I don't care about the first, better graphics is killing the industry and the controller doesn't work very well with a lot of games

No. I will not go through all this micro management to play a game that I want to have fun on

Have you ever even used a computer for gaming before?

Actually, nevermind. I don't need to get into this debate again.

Pass off everything I say because obviously I'm a moronic console fanboy.
Yes I have played PC gaming, I still do but it's so much worse then PC gaming as explained above

 

[Jupsto]

I played zelda on supernintendo and even completed at least half of ocarina of time thinking link was zelda. I was very young and didn't read the text

I think Japanese games are generally TERRIBLE, the only ones I ever got into were pokemon and zelda and I think thats only because they infected my younger mind.

 

[Padwolf]

I actually enjoyed FFX, and on the rare occasion, I liked Tidus and his optimism. I liked FF12 too. I even liked some of FF13.
I dislike Morrowind, I even dislike Oblivion a little.
Viva Pinata was one of my favourite 360 games, I really regret trading it in.
I enjoyed Evergrace and all it's weirdness on the PS2.
Despite it's many faults, I quite liked Silent Hill Homecoming.
I own nearly all Harvest Moon games.

 

[Slangeveld]

I liked Mafia II. It's a linear game with a non-linear setting used only as a backdrop. And it worked!

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

I agree wholeheartedly with these two. I loved both of these, but whenever I mention it to the few people I know they say both are terrible xD

But then, I have pretty long fingers so that might be why I like the huge controller.

Oh my, someone's defensive.

The point was that that list of "problems" always gets brought up when most PC gamers I speak to never have them, and the arguments usually come from people who haven't played on PCs.

Yeah well the amount of people who have essentially said *OMIGAWDCONSOLE FANBOY PC MASTURRACE* that I have become bitter and very defensive about my views towards PC gaming

Plus my experience with PC gaming has been utterly shit. Just a combination of cost, time, effort and micro management along with the fanboy idiots has given me a very negative on PC gaming and the whole community

 

[Oscar Bjorklund]

I listen to 80:s pop music at some times. Yeah....

 

[SageSteven]

I Stole the Bow and Arrow in Legend of Zelda Links Awakening

I didn't buy anything in that store during any part of that game, I stole everything.

I like Final Fantasy series less then Dragon Quest series; In fact, I enjoy "jrpgs" and don't refer to them by that label. After all, I started playing them before people called them that.

I enjoy programming for the fun of it.

I can't stand 90% of the bland first person shooters out there.

I'm going to stop there now.

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.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I adored Chrono Cross, and didn't like Trigger enough to finish it.
