This coat woulda been a lot more awesome. Just sayin'.Ranorak said:
No, I'm not saying that because he mildly resembles Snow.
Anyways, one thing I never got into: The RTS genre. Just not my thing. It doesn't feel like I have enough control, being that far from the action. I prefer an FPS that mixes RTS elements, really. Also, I hated every Final Fantasy after X. And I couldn't get into IX because of the art. Also, I only liked X for the gameplay. I only really liked Auron, in the cast. The rest, was kinda meh.

OT: I've never completed a Pokedex. Ever. Hey there veteran Escapist, glad you can read this!
I very much do appreciate their focus on making quality games and wish more companies had their mindset(don't rush a crappy game), but they never seemed to be that good at making great games. Of course, I've never played TF2 or L4D, but it looks like the constant upgrading is ruining TF2 and I just don't like zombie games in general. And Portal was so overrated that Final Fantasy VII looked like Metal Arms compared to it.rsvp42 said:
Bioware and Bethesda suffer from the same crime, and that's the fact that they failed to interest me in the first few hours of the game. I tried enjoying them, I really did. But it's the responsibility of the game to keep me interested after the first few hours. They may very well be complete gems, but they're just so boring, and I play a game to entertain myself.
More power to the people who love them though.
Fallout 3's story sucked so much ass its insane. Its so unbelievably stupid it actually makes me kind of angry.
The last few hours of Bioshock are just completely awful. After the main climax it just devolves into a mindless shooter with a stupid new villain. They even included a stupid, escort quest and had you dress as a Big Daddy for no good reason.
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was merely average. It was not the best Zelda game ever made. That honor goes to Majora's Mask.

I liked Navi, and never once found her to be slightly annoying (Really, she only said anything when she was directing your attention to something easily missed, and after the first few temples she barely makes noise at all.
My favourite controller? N64 Trident. It was more comfortable than any of these new ones, you just needed to get used to gripping the middle and right prongs.
Oh, and I thought Vaan was an ok guy.
Worth noting that I don't think that these are especially bad myself, but I seem to get chastised for them often.
Edit: Oh, oh, I liked Fable 2 more than Fable 1. A lot more, in fact.

The only game that comes to mind is FF9. I was really depressed to see them take one step forward with 8 and then twenty back with 9, returning to the super deformed heads. They're creepy looking. The only reason they did that before (as far as I can tell) was due to graphical limitations, and even in the first game, when the characters, "advance" later on they have a more full size normal proportion body again.
-I prefer Male Shepard
-I hate the original 2 metroid games (just like I hate the Beatles. They're definitely big steps in their industries, but now they're just old to me).
-Bethesda games don't do it for me. I hate the Elder Scrolls and only really liked Fallout 3 for the immersive experience, and nothing else
-Bioshock was overrated in my opinion. Not bad by any stretch of the word and one of the best modern FPSs but it only really stands out in its genre for me. As just a game, I've played games I liked better.
-I actually play some games on easy mode
-I like JRPGs
- WORST OFFENSE: I don't think Half-Life 2 is the greatest game around. Yes it's got a lot of great points, but it isn't perfect
-I believe Capcom has great writers (They all happen to work on the Phoenix Wright series instead of being spread out over the company)
-I have not played a Duke Nukem game
-I first thought SotC sucked (I've said this so many times on the forum already, along with the fact that on my second time picking it up, I absolutely loved it)
-I feel Kingdom Hearts needs to come out with it's sequel and quit (if you think gamers don't disagree with me here, you've not seen that fanbase. It's like a fucking gestapo towards anyone who speaks against the games). The fact that it had to retcon the great original in its first sequel (which you had to play a game for a completely different console owned by a competing company to get fully) showed the series' future was dark already, and the fact that they've continued to make similar sorts of retcon games without making another sequel all these years just continues to confirm my sentiments here.
-I liked ODST (when it reached half price I picked it up for what it was worth though)
-I used to buy strategy guides, even well past the point of when they started to suck (no longer though, unless it truly is a good RPG).
-I own a PS3 and a 360. I prefer the PS3 (due to the fact that it runs smoother, free online, it can play PS1 games, and that the web browser helped save my laptop from a virus)
Whew... That was a lot.

And Darksiders was miles better than Twilight Princess.CannibalRobots said:
Also, Star Wars was okay at best, the LoTR books were all insufferably turgid, I know the exception to rule 34, Shigeru Miyamoto frightens me, Fallouts 1 and 2 were mind-bogglingly awful, Psychonauts was (arguably) quite wretched, Mass Effect 2 was the worst game of the year, the original Transformers TV series was repugnant, Obsidian has better writers than Bioware, and NGE blew chunks.
...Yeah, I think that's everything.
You clearly never experienced the Wand of Gamelon. I adore OoT, MM and TP, but even the most seethingly hate-filled review I could imagine of them would still fare better than any of the Zelda CD-i games.Defense said:
I can't really think of any games I really hate apart from Final Fantasy III but I do hate people who constantly say that ''the *blank* series has like a million games why don't they just stop making them'' there's a good reason why people don't just stop making their most famous video game series, it's basic law of supply and demand if something keeps making you loads of money then you're going to make more of it, you wouldn't just voluntarily lose money.
Yes! i'm not the only one, didn't spend ninety bucks though but I did buy it on it's first day of release.Trull said:
