OK, there will be some blasphemy coming up...
Back when I was a teen I used to play through every game in God Mode. It took me a long time to realize that being vulnerable adds a thrilling element to games.
I think 'Twilight Princess' is better than 'Ocarina of Time'. I also think 'Chrono Cross' is better than 'Chrono Trigger'.
I still hold 'Lost Odyssey' to be the Final Fantasy game more faithful to the series than every official one since X. And 'Final Fantasy 13' is way better than the 12th one.
'Fallout 3' is one of the most boring games I've ever played. 'Morrowind' isn't as good as 'Oblivion' (simply because of the missing map indicator).
'Silent Hill: The Room' was a good game. 'Homecoming' isn't. The latter is in fact the worst game/biggest disappointment I've every had rotating in my PS3.
If 'Deadly Premonition' had come out on the PS2 it would have been an instant classic. It still could be though apparently graphics have taken on a role for bigger than they are supposed to.

Isn't that Tom Waits? I can't remember what song exactly... *strokes chin*octafish said:
OP: First dirty secret that comes to mind is a recent one - on my seconds, harder, playthrough of DA2 I couldn't beat the elder dragon so I turned down the difficulty all the way to casual so I could get on with the game. The shame burns like a thousand suns.
I hate the COD 3 with a burning passion. I still love the Game Cube.
I didn't know that Half-Life's graphics could give people headaches.PayneTrayne said:
I've never played either uncharted but I think I'm going to pick them up sometime soon.
Like many I haven't played any half life game or Portal.
I had a game shark for Pokemon: Silver and therefore had lots of Level 100 Pokemon
I've owned a PS3 for nearly a year now and I haven't played a single FPS on it.
I've been playing The Sega mega Drive collection for PS3 this past week, and while there are a few gems on it, for the most part OLD GAMES SUCK.

I always set a game to the hardest difficulty available on first time start-up.
I usually don't tell anyone that's why it takes so long for me to get through games, but that's what's fun for me, even on murderously difficult games like COD on a first time run.
No pain no gain? not so much, more like "no difficulty no enjoyment"

I bought a console! That's why I'm building a new PC at the mo. My old one hates me now because I cheated on it. And with a 360
Oh boy this will get interesting
I think GTA IV is one of the best games ever
Never played any FF games
Never played any Mass Effect games
WaW was pretty good
The only nintendo games I've owned are Warrio and Pokemon Red
I played L4D for exactly 1 hour and I think Portal and TF2 are huuuugely overrated
That is all
for now

I always roll female characters when given the option because I usually find the male counterparts to be either ridiculously over-muscular or find the male voice actors to be unrelatable. I don't care for steam. I bought and played Naughty Bear for about 3 hours. And finally I occasionally sabotage team play games if I get bored or annoyed... I'm a terrible terrible person
I hated Half-Life. I just thought it was terrible. The first hour or so was pretty interesting, but then it totally bored me. I got as far as 10 minutes beofre the end boss, then I watched the end on youtube. I just didnt want to fight it. The only reason I was playing was to understand half-life 2. Which is awesome, even if I dont understand at all what is going on.
I also have a pile of crappy cheap JRPGs that I hoped would be awesome

This is what really sold me on The Last Story. You can give chracters many different kinds of clothes (most of which work on men and women), change the colours, and what accessories are attached. You need to get clothes first thoughAt the start, you can make 1 male character look awesome, and everyone else looks flambouyant as hell.King of the Sandbox said:
Thank god someone said it. I thought this game was alright while in the vault, but an hour after leaving, I got bored out of my mind. Sure its nice the worlds all big, but itd be nice if there was actually something there. Everything seems to drag on too.Xerosch said:
Zelda is a terrible series.
JRPG's are all terrible, none of them have anything remarkable about them.
I think Notch is a terrible developer who is incredibly lazy and should fix his broken game.

I still have a Gamecube, and the only game i play i play on it is Pokemon: XD Gale Of Darkness.
I Don't like Morrowind and i can NEVER get into Oblivion.
Fallout: NV seems crap, but i don't wan't to sell it because i know in about a year i will love it (happened with Fallout 3)
Half Life just seems like a mediocre game, and i don't see why it seems to be Gods gift to gamers.
I find it hard to play Pokemon Red and Blue because of Sprites like these......
Most of them gave me Nightmares Exeggcute and Exeggutor are prime culprits no wonder i hate eggs now

never been a fan of zelda really... always dissinterested me. my favourite final fantasy's are 8,9 and 12 (found 7 boring) and i can't stand any mmo's (have tried... always get annoyed just by the fact of subscription service, it's why i bought guild wars) finally got that out of my system oh, and wet is an awesome game

Hrm... *ponders*
I don't really have any "dirty secrets" so much, as I just throw it all out there for the world.
I loathe every Final Fantasy after the SNES as ostentatious junk with generic storylines, generic j-pop crap characters, horridly lengthy cinema scenes which make the actual gameplay seem unnecessary by comparison... just boringly predictable trite garbage...
I've played HALO, all three originals, OST and Reach and found them all to be practically identical and equally drab and uninteresting...
My favorite FPS's are "Blood" and "Shadow Warrior" despite their horrid bugs and showing their age BADLY. They were FUN. Remember fun?
I will NOT be buying MVC3, as I refuse to pay 60$ for a game that ships with an extra 20$ of DLC described intricately in it's official strategy guide. I made the pact with two friends present that I will not buy it until it's on the "Best Sellers" sale rack for a 20.
I liked DOW more than DOW2, I always play as the Orks and despite my views on sexism, I really wish they hadn't included the Sisters of Battle.
I'm sick to death of online multiplayer. I remember when gamers hated the overly show-off jock asshat mentality, competitive males pushing each other around in some sad display of reptilian brain dominant behaviour. Now they do it to each other online all the time. Every game from iphone time sink apps to cute little puzzlers have some online leaderboard bragging rights feature and to me it's all a load of rubbish. I played SF2 because I didn't want to muck about with other people at the moment, not because I wanted some sort of digital pissing contest with every bloke on the planet...
I absolutely adore Splatterhouse on the 360 and would recommend it to anyone.
I'll just end this here...

Alienating yourself from good games is never a good thing to do. If you legitimately don't like a game, I'm perfectly fine with that, but if you don't play a game because what you think you know about the game makes you think its terrible well...like said a lot, don't judge a book by its cover. Only reason I say this is because back when Minecraft first came out, I was like most of the people and thought it was a shitty game because of graphics. I was never more wrong. Turns out its a wonderful game full of good design and (mostly) good enemies. I am not some diehard Minecraft fan, but any person with eyes can see it IS a good game.
As for me, I haven't ever played a Solid Snake game. Or any of the Silent Hill games.

I think its just slow to start. Once you are able to get the perk that gets you more ammo when you find it, the entire game feels a lot more open. Really though, i think its something you have to set your mine on. I'm currently trying to complete every quest for the Platinum Trophy in the game. I have Tesla Armor and a Plasma rifle. Only things that possibly give me trouble now are Super Mutant MastersMr Pantomime said:
hmm, only one i can think of is i hate Black Ops. now people will say "oh thats understandable" but you have no idea how many people ive met that jerk off to treyarch.
