Your gaming weakness...

[Laura.]

Any "sandbox" game

Me too. I got loads of sandbox games only to find that half of them suck horribly (Godfather, GTAIV, Scarface...)

 

[SimuLord]

I don't have any problem with purchasing games, because I generally don't do it that often. I do however lack the willpower to stop playing a game once a started, even when it's 230 in the morning and I have to get up at 6 for school.

This is mine, and it's compounded by the fact that I like to play games like Civilization which seem explicitly designed to make hours pass like minutes.

I have a weakness for MMO and RPG games.

MMOs I just have a lot of fun with, and I like the community aspect of the whole thing.

RPGs, I love leveling up, I love the gameplay(usually), and I just generally have tons of fun with it.

...So at least my weakness is for things I enjoy.

Pokemon games. They are the same every time but I must buy.

They're always the same, and yet I always have fun with them...

 

[dragonflygirl]

having no talent in playing video gaming would be my weakness

OOH!!! BLASPHEMY!!! GTA IV is the game the gods play on their days off!!! Take it back!

I have a tendency to buy anything in a bargain bin. No matter how bad and pointless the game might be. Well, okay, at least I didn't buy this: http://www.astragon.de/productsimages/Bagger-Simulator 2008 Packshot 3D_final.jpg

I believe you have discovered a Nazi toture device my friend!

My weakness would have to be games that offer you a large selection of ways to fight(combos, styles, weapons, etc) even though I know I will propbably end up using only a few that actually are practical/are'nt ridiculous to pull off.

Awesome cutscenes and moves you can do usually outweigh any plot or gameplay in my case.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

The Need for Speed franchise. The games progressively get worse, but I always seem to buy them. With the new games that are coming out I know that it'll be the same old dribble. They'll just add more cars, and it'll have a slightly different story, but I'll still end up buying/playing them.

Heh, that's my dad's weakness. Except then he complained about the newest game because he had to use the control sticks which he hates. So now we have a game he wont let me play because he thinks he can get his money back for it.

I'm a sucker for fee stuff. If the DLC is free then I'll get it. I've considered getting DLC for games I don't even own just because it's free.

I'm a sucker for the GTA games and for the Pokemon games...

The stupid thing is i buy them, and try them for about an hour or so, and then i just don't touch them again.. GTA i haven't found intriguing since "VICE CITY" really, and the Pokemon games are kind of hit or miss. I loved Blue..Couldn't get into Silver...Loved the initial GBA titles, but haven't been able to play really any other title since then...

RPGs

 

[IamQ]

Choosing games just because of it's genre.

"A snowboarding/ski game? Yes!"

it was a game about ski jumping. It. Sucked.

 

[IamQ]

The assassin's creed series and the dbz fighting games . Mainly the budokai series and tenkaichi series. I must have my precious! They will come to my house and kill me if i don't buy them.

I was the same until Tenkaichi 2 when I realised there was no fucing different from the first one.

 

[Outamyhead]

Star Wars games, the majority of them are good (Rebel Assault, Force Commander, and Battle for Naboo being the dirge), but I normally buy them regardless of review ratings...Battle for Naboo was a freebie, the store couldn't get rid of that POS for nothing so it was strapped to SW Star Fighter as a 2 for 1.

I bought the X-wing complete pack (3.5 floppy) in 1994 I didn't even have a PC yet until 1996.

If it says anywhere that it's a "Strategy RPG" i'll look the back of the box.

If i look the back of the box and in any shape or form i say "Hummm kinda looks like Final Fantasy Tactics / Disgaea / Phantom Brave/ FIre Emblem / Ogre Battle / Front Mission" i'll buy

...

=(

I'm weak that way

 

[Mordwyl]

Tangible upgrades. This is mainly the reason why I enjoy games with RPG elements, as I love watching my character/s going from wearing rags to golden Space Marine armour.

 

[zagazsano]

When my friends claim that a system is so great, such as the Nintendo Wii, and they brag and brag until I have to get one, then it turned out that the Wii wasn't so great after all, no offense to those who enjoy playing the Wii.

 

[DigitalJedl]

Pokemon...
No matter how ridiculous they're getting... I can't... stop...

 

[megapenguinx]

Sandbox games, I can't get enough of them.

This and Lego games. Beating people to a pile of bricks if good fun
