I really cant take a game serous when it makes fans wait this long ofr a DLC (IE half life 2 episode 3) so no, half life as a whole was not as good as people say it was. same with fable for that matter. and i never got into ff7 as much as i did 8.
so... you much think Animal Crossing is the best game ever with that logic?PoisonUnagi said:...Shoggoth2588 said:I have never played Half Life and thought Half Life 2 was Waaaaaaaaaay too freaking long.
You do realise that length is a good thing, right? The longer the game, the better, and the more money you save on not having to buy a sequel.
You sir have stolen my life. I also love halo, don't like half life much and like JRPGs.Xandus117 said:I LOVE Halo.
I think Half-Life is extremely overrated, is very boring, and has a poorly and lazily executed story.
I played a JRPG and I liked it.
I'm a Soulcaliber fan.
I think he meant it dragged on in parts, e.g the first time you drive that boat, it just dragged on and onPoisonUnagi said:...Shoggoth2588 said:I have never played Half Life and thought Half Life 2 was Waaaaaaaaaay too freaking long.

Illegal can mean a totally different thing from where you are.oppp7 said:...You realize he was joking right? He wouldn't have put all those 1s in with those !s at the end of "gamer" if he was serious.Julianking93 said:BLASPHEMY!!! HALF LIFE IS THE GREATEST SERIES EVER AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN'T CONSIDER YOURSELF A GAMER!!!11!! ITS A SIN NOT TO LIKE IT!!!
OT:...Not playing games? There's no rules to enjoying something unless it's illegal.
Not yet at least. It isn't has old or ingrained to pop culture for it to be a "sin". FF hate is common enough.Icy Lemon said:Well, I thought Bioshock was pretty boring and just not that great overall, is that a 'gaming sin'?
I also hate the Final Fantasy series.
game mechanics is one think. Glitches are another.Kiju said:I would have to say...the fact I think that exploiting game mechanics is a cheap and dirty trick to win in Player-versus-Player combat.
I can see you really like fable 1 and 2, which is cool. I felt that the story in both was thin and I didn't dig the fact that you can't die in fable 2 and well, the final boss fight. I felt underwhelmed personally by the first two which indicates that Fable is not the series for me. Disregarding a game because you know it isn't up your ally isn't stupid, its realistic. That is also why I don't buy Madden or Barbie's Pony Adventures or something like that.The_Blue_Rider said:And what may I ask is going to be so bad about Fable 3?pixiejedi said:I have to disagree. I completely disregard Fable 3, and I have not nor will I ever play it. Stupid Peter Molyneux.Amethyst Wind said:As long as you've tried the game, and empirically found you did or did not like it, then your opinion is valid. Disregarding a game without first hand evidence is just stupidity.
OT: Forgive me father for i have sinned,
I found the half life series to be boring
I dont like any of the 2d Final fantasy games(i havent got a chance to play the newer ones)
I rather like Call of Duty games
Fable 1 and 2 are two of my favourite games
Spiderman Web of Shadows was another of my favourite games
I have never owned a Nintendo console (except for a N64, but i was like 5)
The list goes on
Everyone does it to a degree of course, but I think the real "sin" is in not being able to justify your reasons or at least understand why others like that game. If you just say a game "sucked" or that it was "boring" chances are that you didn't really give it enough time to really form a valid opinion about it.Julianking93 said:So I was recently talking to someone on a different gaming forum (why I don't know. I was bored) and we started to discuss games that every gamer should play or at least try.
We went through the obvious ones like Zelda, Metroid and Donkey Kong all that fun stuff and it got down to the Half Life series and this is were the argument ensued.
I told him that I never got into the Half Life series and called them boring and uninteresting to me.
To which he replied:
Yes, that was an actual copy/paste. He used all caps.BLASPHEMY!!! HALF LIFE IS THE GREATEST SERIES EVER AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN'T CONSIDER YOURSELF A GAMER!!!11!! ITS A SIN NOT TO LIKE IT!!!
Now, I pretty much left the conversation there since I try to avoid internet fanboys who use all caps like that, but that got me thinking, doesn't everyone do that to some degree? Some sort of gaming "sin" if you will.
