Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

[Brown Cap]

I have never played Half Life, and only played an hour of Half Life 2. I found it utterly boring, and cannot care less about Half Life 3.

I really didn't mind the ending to Mass Effect 3.

Both of these, really. Except I think ME3 was completely fine and I loved it like I did the other two.

I would say the fact that I looked up several times how to get past certain puzzles in Amnesia. What's the challenge when you can just look it up?
I don't forgive myself for that and I really regret it.

I played this one Hamtaro the Hamster game once for the GBA...and it was freaking amazing...

90% of the gameplay was learning hamster language and saying hamster phrases to the right person. The other 10% was choreographing dance numbers

Don't be ashamed - I loved that game so much, even if I was like 14.

 

[thewatergamer]

I have never played any final fantasy, kingdom hearts, rayman, games ever...

 

[FreezingFlames]

- I hate GTA4
- I have never played, nor plan to play Half Life or Half Life 2
- I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 way more than Origins
- I thought Little Big Planet was one of the worst games I've ever played

Looney Tunes Basketball

That, wait, WHAT.

I need this in my life.

It's fucking amazing. You play street ball, you collect gems and with them you can fund special mischief like pie throwing and powers like Elmer's lightning ("Kill the rabbit!") or Bugs dresses up and makes the player with the ball drop it and such stuff. Most hilarious game except for Super Smash Brothers. Also there are countless codes with which you can turn into the other player's character and more. It's an old SNES goodie.

You, dear sir, made my day today ^^
I hope Pacific Rim later won't ruin it.

-I didn't like Wind Waker at all. The music, the visual style, the battles, and the freaking sailing.
-I enjoyed many games people seem to hate...Duke Nukem Forever, FF XIII (XIII-2), Metal Gear Acid, Crysis 2
-I also hate many games virutally everyone loves... Wind Waker, Halo, LoL, WoW, Batman Arkham games (Asylum wasn't bad though)
-I equally enjoy both console gaming and PC gaming...apparently that's some sort of blasphemy. I also refuse to have loyalty, such as being a "fanboy" to Sony or Microsoft. I just choose which offers me a better experience.
-I sold an Xbox 360 after winning it before the console even released. I get a lot of flak for that...
-I really enjoy the PS Move and wish Sony and developers didn't drop support so fast.
-I play pretty much every compatible PC game I own with a gamepad. FPS, Racing, RPG, if it works I'll use it.
-I REALLY REALLY like pretty graphics. Yes, call me simple and stupid, but I pretty much like shiny things. (HOWEVER, I will NOT hate a game for not having very pretty graphics)

That's about all I can think of that people usually give me flak for so I tend to keep it to myself.

 

[AnthrSolidSnake]

I liked the Turok game from 2008.

I really liked it too. Being a huge fan of the Turok series however, it didn't exactly feel like a Turok game other than a guy named Turok and some dinosaurs. Otherwise, I think it was a great FPS.

EDIT: This was meant to be a quote from someone, and I messed it up and deleted the quoting part ._. sorry about that.

 

[IshimaruHayato]

I never buy FPS anymore, and I buy Tales games brand never everytime

 

[Baldr]

Hello Kitty Online
Best 4 years of my life.

 

[MrBrightside919]

-I am a complete Nintendo Fan Boy (I own every Nintendo console except the Wii U) and will probably defend them to the death, despite thinking a lot of what they've done recently is super gimmicky bullshit

-I REALLY do not care for FFVII at all

-I think the GENESIS version of Aladdin is better than the SNES one

-I cannot stand any of the Assassins Creed games...and i've tried getting into the series more than once with different games

-I think GTA4 is inferior to previous games

-Goldeneye 007 has aged horribly and is painful to play now

-I play as females in games all the time

-I wish 3D platformers would make a comeback

-I think Call of Duty has scarred gaming forever, despite 1,2 and 4 being amazing games

-A lot of game franchises today need to go away...and not Nintendo ones

-I believe online gaming brings out the worst in people and everyone who thinks they are hot shit because they are good at a game should probably re-evaluate their sad lives

-Sometimes my feelings get hurt when people are douche bags online in games

-I think a lot of games today are really overrated

-Most of the games in my STEAM and GOG libraries have gone completely untouched

-A lot of games I buy go unfinished and may never get finished, even though I probably enjoyed playing them

-I REALLY cannot stand the game industry today. It is filled with so much bullshit that i'm ashamed sometimes that I play video games at all. I miss the days of gaming obliviousness where there were no conferences or internet sites

[ImmortalDrifter]

-I believe Call of Duty has ultimately had a positive influence on gaming, but a negative effect on the industry

-I believe "Old School" Nintendo games are all terrible

-I believe Half-Life is simply an above average linear shooter, not some golden grail that will lead you to the promised land.

-I finished Spec Ops: The Line with a massive smile on my face after gunning down the soldiers

-Persona 4 isn't that great

Well there's my piece.

 

[Korolev]

1. I have never finished a Zelda game. I like what I've played of them, but I never finish them.
2. I use cheats for every single Bethesda game. If I don't want to deal with encumbrance, I don't have to. A few lines in the console and now I can carry as much stuff as I want. Yes it breaks the game, but so what? It's still an awesome world to fight and explore in!
3. I actually sorta liked Dragon Age II. I'm not going to say that its anywhere near as good as the first... but I still liked it enough.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Secrets? More like opinions. Anyway...

- I never finished a Nintendo-developed title that wasn't Starfox 64

- I believe Jetforce Gemini is more violent than Spec Ops: The Line (the latter didn't give you a choice, the former allowed you to kill, decapitate, burn or turn to chunky salsa entire families of hostages and children (which were anthropomorphized bears. And it didn't get an 18+ rating because the blood was anything but red)

- I have absolutely no interest in most Japanese titles

- I think Oblivion is the worst WRPG I've ever tried to play, even with mods

 

[OneCatch]

I have never liked a GTA game.
I have never played Final Fantasy because I can't even take the box art seriously.

I quite like camping as a play style.

 

[TheScottishMexican42]

This will be fun.

- I consider myself a Sonic fan and yet I've never finished the first game as I just dislike it. I prefer the modern titles to the classics (with the exception of 06 which I've never played)

- I have the 3 Mass Effect games. Never finished any of them yet.

- Fallout 3 is the best game I've ever played.

- I liked Halo 3: ODST

- I hated playing Halo: Combat Evolved again. I actually preferred Halo Reach's campaign

- Dead Space 3 is my favorite of the 3 games.

- I've never finished any Zelda game. None. Not one. Closest was Twilight Princess and I got bored.

- Skyrim was very dull for me in the short time I played it.

- While I don't like the Call of Duty series because I feel it's wrecked the game industry, I liked World at War's campaign, and i don't know why.

- I've never finished Mario 64, and I never plan to. It's such a dull game.

- Speaking of Mario, I think most Mario games are dull as hell. Except Mario Galaxy 1. That was awesome.

- I have never played any Final Fantasy game. They don't appeal to me.

- Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is better than Mario Kart Wii. Don't know about the other MK titles though,
haven't played them yet.

- GoldenEye isn't as great as everyone says.

- Sub-Zero>Scorpion

- Minecraft is best enjoyed with mods. It's dull otherwise.

- Animal Crossing has been more enjoyable in the long run than a bunch or AAA titles I've played.

- Burnout is the best driving series in gaming history.

- GTA4 was a step backwards.

- I think casual gamers should be respected. I despise those who call them "filthy"

- I found the Half-Life games so boring

- The Sims should have stayed on PC. It's just so much better there.

- I hate PC gamers who think they are so high on the gaming food-chain. We're all gamers. Doesn't matter how you play.

- The Walking Dead doesn't just have the best story of 2012. It has the best story of the decade thus far.

- I would like Team Fortress 2 much more if the focus was less on the items and crates and such.

- FTL is the best indie game I've played in a long time.

- Sonic Adventure 2 has some glaring flaws that many Sonic fans just don't see, though "Live and Learn" and many other
songs from Crush 40 are some of the best songs I've heard.

- I find music to be hugely important to a game's atmosphere.

- Battlefield games bore me.

- I've never played a Metal Gear game.

Some of those may be more opinions that secrets but still.

 

[AMAZED]

I preferred the characters of dragon age 2 over the characters of DAO

EDIT: messed up link.

 

[Jmumbler]

I preferred the characters of dragon age 2 over the characters of DAO

EDIT: messed up link.

Its manly because of her (I ADORE her) but on the hole I tend to find that dragon age 2 has better character moments and they feel like actual people, not just party members

If it makes you feel better that's the only thing about dragon age 2 that I prefer over origins. Though I did like dragon age 2 on the hole.
