i disagree with your statement. or well, disagree with people who would not call you a gamer (yeah, messed that first sentence up). i've never properly played a metroid game (i didn't enjoy it) and never really got into a metal gear solid game (until peacewalker... but thats only because sneaking is so damn easy on that game... i didn't like them because i used to crap myself as a child when i played the first whenever i got seen... which was all the time)Aerodynamic said:
I disagree with them because there are many other brilliant games, Shadow of Collosus, Monster Hunter, Resident evil, Megaman etc. not to mention the PC RTS games (which are brilliant games, even if i don't play them, i would certainly call a person who plays them a gamer)
and if you play a large array of other games, then you are most certainly definatly a gamer, just a gamer who doesn't look much into certain genre's/developers.
However, i would be inclined to agree with them if the reason you haven't played any of those above games/genres is because you have only played two games, Guitar Hero and (Mc)CODMW2(*SPFPSGF2). Yes, if that were the case, i would very much in agreement with them. however, i am sure it is not, and you do have a wide range of tastes. besides, even if you don't, its just my opinion that you're not a gamer. you can dub yourself whatever you want.
anyway, i've posted a lot just about your post now... so now for my incredible gamer sins
I bought and played harvest moon, and i still don't consider myself a casual gamer. nope, its not just an old thing i did as a 10 year old and is forgivable, i just bought the newest PSP edition and am loving it at the moment. I am a sinner and i am disgusted, but i think what hooks me is that simplicity in life. that people will like you because you pick a flower and give it to them (even if its a flower from right next to them and they saw you pick it up, and its their garden, they'll still like it). I love the simplicity of everyones lives in it, how they talk about such dull things half the time. i really envy that. seems no matter how hard i try, i always end up annoying, hurting or repulsing people from me. I wish i could befriend them as easily as that little farmer does.
I dont know how you can judge a game if you have never played it though i have every respect for people who play these games (or similar) and say they dont like them based on experience.Jarl said:
not personally directing this at you as you made a point of saying
but more to other people who develop a hatred towards games they haven't played or seen being played. There have been games i have told myself id never play or like but after playing them later i decided i was wrong (i did this with the Resident Evil series for example)
though i like how you sensibly aren't a fanboy about it... or at least don't bring down consolers like some PC fangirls, i think its definatly worth you trying a sample of things outside of Steam and Valve, because i find your description of "lame, formulaic, trite and predictable" in the face of games such as Ape Escape, completely wrong. its almost as if you added "lame" at the start after you said the other 3 things, because something being lame is a matter of opinion, so to defend your point, you could just say "well i find ape escape lame". thats assuming that feeble excuses such as "well, its very formulaic, you hit it with the bat, then with the net" or "its predictable that i have to catch the escaped primates" because i can do that with an absolutely brilliant game too, PortalJarl said:
That's the same for a lot of on line games, unfortunately. Guild Wars, Last Chaos, even in modern warefare 2. I had someone insult me because I haven't even reached the first prestige, let alone the 4th. Though there are people out there who do make online gaming a blast, you just have to look hard for them.siddif said:
I liked the sailing in Zelda: wind waker
Not too big on half life 2
Only FF game i've played was 13, and i didn't like it
Haven't played duke nukem.
Couldn't get in to Deus Ex. Granted I haven't played too much but I just haven't really been able to get into it
Didn't like Bioshock.
HATED GTAIV
Prefer saints row over GTA, just cause it's a lot funner

I want so bad to like Oblivion, I keep playing it hoping to find the awesomeness everyone claims... but I just don't see it. It all seems like to much work, I get("Meet me at midnight when the moon is full on the third day") so I go to the next thing and its like ("I cant talk to you until you find Joe Blow, he is hiding under a bush around dawn somewhere in the city") Jeez! I guess i just don't have the patience for it or maybe i am just not a true RPGer. Well I DID try. ****sighs***
I've never played a Western RPG (Although I did try playing Fable a couple years ago, but then I got bored after 2 hours).
Pretty much this, although I've never played the Conduit.MrNickster said:
I despise 99% of all FPS's. The only time i enjoy them is if they're on PC, and multiplayer (I find it beyond tedious by myself).
I don't like GTA. None of them.
I really liked Simcity 4 Rush hour
I have several games that i've bought and never actually played.
The Diablo series is far superior to WoW & Starcraft.
The amount of time I've invested in the Pokemon series probably eclipses that of all the other games I've played combined.
I own a N64, XBOX 360, Wii & PS2 - I play the N64 more than the rest combined.
I don't know if all of these qualify as "sins", although I feel they are - if nothing else - a bit odd.
and i counted up my Pokemon game-time for all the games, and have spent 15 days and 14 hours playing pokemon in my whole life
After reading all, and being thoroughly impressed, I've decided to add a bit more to my own list:
- I don't think TF2 is that fun. As a Valve fanboy it is incredibly hard for me to say this...but I honestly can't spend more than 30 minutes at a time playing it.
- I love Pokemon Emerald more than any other pokemon game.
- I thought Twilight Princess was boring as (got up to the 2nd Temple in like 8 hours of gameplay and just thought "fuck it")
- Never played Final Fantasy VII (even though I own an old copy on disc which works fine)
- I love the wii and Nintendo in general.
Yeah...and um....
[sub]I think age of mythology is more fun than Starcraft as an RTS[/sub]

But I finally succumbed after it coming up in 90% of the time when I talked with my friends, I just couldn't stand calling myself a gamer and not playing one of the most played games of all time.

Also this. When MW2 came out I was like "I AM IN NO WAY EVER GOING TO BUY THIS"Glademaster said:

I thoroughly enjoyed FFXIII from the beginning, I would happily buy another one after it, I found the story easy enough to follow...
AND I'M PROUD!!!
