"What If It Sucks?"

[Starik20X6]

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but my ability to pick out games I will like seems to be pretty spot on... with one glaring exception: Bionic Commando. Ooh boy, so much promise wasn't delivered on there. I pre-ordered the special edition and everything.

A game I followed? Hmmm... Gears of War 3 and Dark Souls. Wasn't disappointed either.

I fear greatly for Kingdom Hearts 3, whenever it finally does arrive, which apparently will be sometime after the 3DS game.

I love Kingdom Hearts. Story, characters. It's just fun. I've been checking a news site at least once a week to see if anything new has surfaced. I fear for how the game may actually turn out.

Brink... Good heavens, I sprinted from my school to the mall, then through the mall to the eb games. That, myfriends, is a truly awful game. Also, Modern Warfare 2.

FFXIII and Dead Island fit this mold for me.

Not that I didn't enjoy these games, in some form, in some time, but after finishing them...Just a bad taste afterwards.

Now, I hardly ever follow a game's development religiously. I find trailers enough of a turn-off, usually (dead island's, on the other hand, REALLY drew me in, to a contrary experience). If I ever feel like I'm following a game too closely, I'll do one of two things:

1. Go out somewhere
2. Play another game

I'm older now, so I don't have fathomless capacity for excitement. I have to spend it wisely (-.-), so when the inner fanboy rises for a particular game, nothing soothes his temper better than either playing another game, or not playing a game at all.

I also find too much excitement leads inevitably to expectations, no matter how hard you resist. I kept looking for a good story in Dead Island, even though I realized that wasn't where its focus was (though, it gets demerits for trying to horn that in and failing). FFXIII might have seemed a bit less bad, if I was less of a fanboy of the series.

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent.

My brother and I could never take turns so we both spent our pennies to each buy our own gamecube. We also decided we shouldn't share GoldenEye so we both bought it. We both loaded it, played for a few minutes, then encountered eachother on the way to eachother's rooms to say how crappy it was.

And I liked the previous James Bond shooters, Agent Under Fire and Nightfire were great.

Other than Pokemon Diamond, not really.

<SO EXCITED! New Pokemon region with new Pokemon! I bet it'll be even better than Ruby/Sapphire!

<Cue disappointment at how awful the game was. Geodude and Zubat constantly screaming in the speakers, mostly seem to find old Pokemon for a supposedly new generation, and most of the new ones I was finding were totally stupid. This annoying blonde homosexual hipster kept showing up everywhere to battle me as well. The story of Team Plasma was utterly boring and I just felt like I was derping along without being invested in the game at all. About the fifth gym I was just like, "Let's finish this up and beat Cynthia so I can get this over with."

Never played any of the Sinnoh games again. Sold Diamond a few days after beating it.

Black and White on the other hand are probably the best Pokemon games I've played. That was totally unexpected.

I recommend Heartgold/SoulSilver. Now those are the best pokemon games since Gen 3.

I never get stuff early, and don't shun Metacritic. Boom, I'm never... EVER... burned.

You, good sir, are a genius, for I also do that and if you are a genius, I too, must be a genius.
