Gaming Blasphemy!!!

[The_Blue_Rider]

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.

I have to disagree. I completely disregard Fable 3, and I have not nor will I ever play it. Stupid Peter Molyneux.

And what may I ask is going to be so bad about Fable 3?

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

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.

Edit: OT I think console (or PC) fanboyism is a sin, an annoying one at that.

Funny i think im the only person who liked Fable 2's ending, i just thought it was hilarious that you spent 20+ years of your tracking this guy down only to take him out in a single shot that and if you dont kill him yourself he doesnt even get to finish his speech

I dont like FPS's on the PC as much as I do the 360, mostly because I'm not that great with a mouse and keayboard, does this count?

yyup half life sucks. glad to know how many ppl feel the same

Lets see...

First of all, I also find the Halflife series rather boring. That being said, I have never been able to get into FPS that much, a few exceptions aside. I disliked Bioshock, Crysis and Dead Space too (though Dead Space is not really FPS).

Games I have never understood why they received so much credit are Final Fantasy 7 (which was okay, but nothing like the coming of Christ some of the fans would like you to believe); same goes for Final Fantasy 6, though I enjoyed that one better than FF7 (the whole steampunk thing in FF7 was a major turnof). Another game I will never understand was Shadow of the Colossus. I seriously hated the game, due to the narrator, the horrid camera, the damn horse and the entirely dead world which became nothing but a hassle to run through after you had found the first 2 or 3 colossi. In my opinion, Ico is the much much superior one of the two.

A recent game is Valkyria Chronicles. A good game, but the horrible AI ruins any tactics the game may have touted. You know things are bad when one of your units, who is like a sitting duck, manages to kill of an entire backup platoon by just using intercept fire; while the enemies do not but "durrhurr, something hurts" and try to run past. That, and the game literally rewards you for acting like a retard during missions. It is the first game in which the game would give suggestions you had actually better ignore.

Mario is a fat piece of shit, Luigi is his obvious superior.

 

[DracoSuave]

My gaming sin is that I disliked God of War.

I found it to be like premature ejaculation... all that build up... you had the awesome hydra fight... and then it never... EVER... EVVEEERRRR... got that good again.

So... I figured playing level 1 was good enough, and that the game was a great 15 minutes long. Sadly, 15 minutes of good gameplay makes for a bad perchasing decision.

This is a good thread. A few of my many gaming sins is liking Spore and thinking GTA IV is better than the other GTAs. I also didn't care for Dragon Age that much, despite me being a huge RPG fan.

Err, FFVI was more steampunk than FFVII.

Dan Hibiki is top tier, anyone who doesn't agree is not a true SF fan.

One not-a-SF-fan right here!

I've never played any games older than those from the year 2000 and up. That's when i started gaming.

 

[Hattman]

I actually like MGS2 for its bosses and gameplay.
-EDIT-
And I enjoyed Dirge of Cerebus. Alot.

 

[geldonyetich]

It's all right. Not all of us can accept the healing power of gaming into our lives. Perhaps one day saint Gordon Freeman will free your soul of the binding chains that prevents you from identifying the light of Half-Life as your savior.

I hate Sonic The Hedgehog, old and new.
Really can't stand any of his games.

I believe the worst gaming sin is "lack of originality".
Not only from the developpers but also from gamers.

Of course, tastes are like a$$holes: everybody has one, but everybody is convinced his doesn't stink. But at some point I had to call a dog a dog and a cat a cat and call some gamers sinners of the most brain-retarding sin: lack of originality.
Perhaps even curiosity.

Do you have a friend who owns Call of Duty 1 2 3 AND 4? All Halo games? Or hockey games for every year since 1995 through 2010? Or more than one racing game? Yes you do. We all do. You want to have a gaming party this weekend and ask them to bring their games over and you realize he actually owns 15 times the SAME EXACT GAME.

Racing games are, and always will be, about just the ass of a car and a scenery coming at you. Sports rules have hardly changed these last 100 years, and

Now ask these friends of yours why they bought the same game/genre over and over again. They will invariably tell you: "The graphics are prettier." My answer to that is akin to Yahtzee's opinion of J-RPGs: "Buuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh!" followed with a facepalm.

Can anyone out there help me overcome this prejudice of mine: Gamers who play only sports and racing games are the very same persons who proudly proclaim: "Pfft! I have never read a book in my life."
I am very sad to make this observation, but I am the only gamer in my region of the world I know who enjoys every genre (except obviously racing and sport), and I have all the misery in the world to get my friends to enjoy anything with text or creativity.

 

[Alphavillain]

Some of my blasphemies made flesh...
I can't stand the Final Fantasy games or indeed most JRPGs. Indeed, I dislike most games that try to tell some deep and complex story: they invariably fail.

Also, I could live without any more Metal Gear games or playing any of the existing ones again.

I actually don't hate any publishers or developers at all (yes, that includes Activision). If people don't like them, don't buy their games.

And Halo...the most overrated game series ever.

And enough with the FPSs. There are enough already.

Err, FFVI was more steampunk than FFVII.

I should have been clearer there; I very much disliked the feel of the starting areas of FF7. I could cope with Narshe, as it wasnt that bad and still felt more like fantasy than it did as steampunk. By the time I got to the point in FF6 where it became a large part of the scenery, I really didnt mind anymore; they had my attention already by that point. I am more of a fantasy kind of guy I guess. FF7 on the other hand had the better part of the first 3 hours or so (cannot remember how long I had to spend there) took place in the dark midgar, mostly in slumlike areas. It was that why I was turned off by it; it took me 3 times to get past it and finally play the game in its entirety.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I didnt really love Modern Warefare one or two, there great games and all that. Im just not into war games.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Movie-based games are never good.

The King Kong game was pretty good, quite an original game as well, not your average shooter. The ending was rather weak though.

Anyway, I guess my gaming 'sin', if you will, is that I never liked Final Fantasy. Not for the turn-based combat, heck Advanced Wars is one of my favourite gaming series, but for the fence lined with tigers (yes yes I know, sue me) that's erected between gameplay and story. I don't want to wheelbarrow a character to one dialogue to another, I want to be the character.

And I never played Metal Gear Solid, though I must say that I'm quite curious. I just never had access to a PS or PS2, sorry.
