I play the CoDs sometimes
I hate Gears of War. Even the first one.
I never finished BG&E. I take a break when I get stuck and don't know what I was doing so I need to start over and blech.
The best 16-bit era game is... ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES
The reason I like Steam so much is because way back when it gave me a free copy of Peggle Nights and was like 'oh sweet'; Before that I just thought it was kind of annoying.
Before F2P was huge, I had multiple email accounts to keep getting 7 day MMO trials
LucasArts deserved to die, should have done so sooner and kept its reputation intact
I had a Gamecube. Didn't play Eternal Darkness.

- I thought Bioshock Infinite was all right, but not great.
- I think The Last of Us is overrated.
- I didn't really enjoy FFVII.
- I'm not particularly interested in Nintendo staples like Mario/Zelda.
- I enjoy Call of Duty.
- Diablo 3 wasn't that bad. Pretty average, really.
- I prefer LoL over DotA.
- I've never finished Skyrim.
And lastly...
- I play hentai games for the story.

I don't like Occarina of Time or Majora's mask and will gladly take Windwaker or Twilight Princess over either.
I don't like the Elder Scrolls or recent Fallout series. To me being able to fart around in an open world is not a sufficient trade for actual story and character development.
Speaking of which.
Rockstar is a bad developer. They make great toys for playing around in but actually playing their sandbox titles is underwhelming at best.
I own a large number of Nippon Ichi Soft TBS games, none of which I have ever completed.
Bioshock is a good game, but far from a great one.
I'm a sucker for character creation and customization and will buy games I know to be terrible just to fart around in the creation/customization menu.

@ Bold. Yes. YES! I am not alone in these stances.Daystar Clarion said:
@ H3: It's an utterly horrible game and I detest it. The gameplay is dreary and miserable, with intangible, feathery gunplay, a poor navigation system, boring set-pieces and terrible scenarios (any game giving me an unsupressed sniper to use to "pick off" enemies at 80m when they have AI-god-aim is full of shit from the off but I digress), the cover system is completely and utterly inadequate.
Oh and the story, with it's false morality and it's whole forcing-you-into-atrocities-you-don't-want-to-commit-and-then-fucking-judging-you-for-it angle, is also boring and utterly devoid of creativity or interesting ideas. It doesn't hold up a mirror to the typical military shooter so much as it holds up a piss-poor sketch of a typical military shooter.
Want a great story that makes the whole thing feel like work with reward rather than a guilt tripping tedious chore? Try The Last of Us.
Want a great cover based military shooter? Try some Ghost Recon ¬_¬
-I didn't like the end to bioshock infinite
-I brought call of duty black ops 2 hardcore edition
-I liked sonic hero's (I hate myself for that one)
-I liked the card game in FF8
-I couldn't get though kingdom hearts
-I haven't finished any of the half life games as they all give me motion sickness and they are the only games to date which have done that to me
-Im also not that existed for watchdogs
.... please don't hate me

I think:
all JRPGs ever, are horrible and should not exist.
Dragon Age 2 is superior to origins.
WITH the extended cut, the ME3 ending is glorious (it sucks without)
Half Life 2 is overrated.
Both Assassin's Creed 3 and Diablo 3 are great games.

Gentleman I am here to stand with you in defence of the majesty of FF 12 as one of the best titles in that franchise. It was almost definately a far better direction for the series than the one it now finds itself on.Exius Xavarus said:

I loathe PvP.
I'm actually pretty good at League of Legends.
I don't find World of Warcaft to be fun.
And finally, I don't really care about the actual story in any given game, just how compitenetly it's presented. Mostly, I care about the gameplay.

Well, I'm jealous of people who actually own/have the chops to build their own gaming PC, especially when the Steam sales come around. Though that's not really a secret, if I could afford one I'd drop my console in a heartbeat, save for exclusives.
Errm...Oh! I've never beaten FFVII myself. I have seen my friend play it off and on a lot. I tried playing it once and the graphics outside of combat were so awful they literally made me dizzy. I'm not a person who considers graphics the top tier requirement for a game, but holy shit...I'm sure there's some amazing story elements in there somewhere, but I also think the majority of the praise I hear for it is extremely overblown nostalgia talking.
I play Pokemon a LOT. Like, a LOT a lot. Like, I start up a new nuzlocke on a cartridge every other month. I've nuzlocke'd Leaf Green and Sapphire at least three times each in the past year and a half.
I personally enjoy a proper controller over a mouse. I don't care how much more "accurate" I can be.
I think of all gaming systems I've ever owned, my Gamecube has given me the most enjoyment for its time. I had a PS2 as well, and though it was a great console with great games, whenever I think back to my late adolescents/early teens, it's the times spent on Gamecube games like Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Pokemon Colosseum, and Wind Waker that I remember fondly first. Kingdom Hearts and .Hack://G.U. coming in afterward.
Halo 3 was my first Halo game, and was actually the first game I got with/wanted for my 360. I wanted to be a part of that community, and for the first year I had my 360, I played the hell out of the MP and met some really cool people. No Halo since has been more entertaining, or had environments that looked quite so nice. I also have never gotten people that were so fun to play with since. I miss the Foundation map and the ridiculous stuff people could forge in that. Forging is a lot more in-depth in the newest titles, but it never seems like anyone ever really brings about that magic anymore. There's also a great lack of people who friend request anymore, and so there's not much Custom fun to be had.
I think the story in the Halo series is mostly garbage. ODST I think is my favorite single player of the series, with Reach coming in second. Honestly, Halo 4 felt to me like the first time somebody with some real story chops took the reigns.
I liked Bioshock 2 and its story better than the original. I also like it better than Infinite, as Infinite was all just run and gun and bombast. I was honestly surprised that Yahtzee enjoyed Infinite so much. It seemed like so much of the "Spunk Gargle Wee Wee" he spoke about in so many other shooters. I found the gameplay at best to be average. The ending to the story was cool, though.

I?ve never played a Zelda game
I?ve never player shadow of the colossus
I?ve never played a Mario game
I haven't played the original fallout although I do have since i got it for free and probably will at some point
I?ve never played the original Dues ex and don?t plan to because it looks dated and boring.
I liked bioshock 2 and thought the original was overrated (although still good). I?ve replayed the second but could only stand playing the first once because the gameplay sucks and without the story and exploration there nothing to keep me going with it.
I do actually care about the aesthetics of the game I?m playing and have bought games primarily because they?re pretty. Although I will still play a game that looks like ass if it game play or story is particularly unique and I?m not talking about having the best, most detailed graphics just that the game looks good.

I don't care for Nintendo at all. (I love my GameCube though)
I think Killzone now has the chance to become better than Halo if they focus on the story and characters.
Bioshock: Infinite was meh.
Valve is great because of Steam and not their games.
Skyrim is an overhyped mess of a game.
If Titanfall is successful it could poison the industry worse than COD.

- The 3DO and Atari Jaguar are truly underrated systems in my eyes. Gotta Love Tempest 2000, and Lucienne's quest.
- I dislike Steam, and try to avoid it if at all possible for PC gaming.
- I've never played any of the old D&D styled games on PC, and I don't plan to.
- Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite out of the whole series, due to the setting, and soundtrack.
- Assassin Creed games are boring as sin, and I don't understand why they have such a huge fanbase.
- Civ 5 absolutely destroys Civ 4, even in vanilla.
