Your gaming weakness...

[Instant K4rma]

Anything that says "Bethesda" on the box, or that starts with "The Legend of Zelda".

 

[Vision of Division]

In depth character creation. I can spend an hour sometimes more doing facial textures..hair styles..costumes etc etc etc. And on many occasions have even been know to flat out dump a game and restart if it doesn't look how i wanted it too rendered in game. Even if I'm a few levels in already.

I have the exact same thing, I've spent hours perfecting my character in Oblivion.

 

[Melon Hunter]

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

This is true for me too ><

I even bought those crappy Ranger and Mystery Dungeon ones

That makes two of us. The majority of my DS games are Pokemon themed (although I rarely buy games for DS). Oh, and Monster Hunter. I love that game series.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I must be the good guy the first time through a game, I must buy a game with Final Fantasy on it, I must buy pre owned games because they are like 5-20 euro and I always suck at sport games but thats it for me.

 

[elitecrewer]

Nintendo consoles. Let's just say my Wii is rather 'dusty', and yet it's the only current gen console which I've owned since day 1.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Playing RPGs as myself, making the exact descisions I would make in real life and making skinny, pale creations in the character creation screen that usually look like an emaciated zombified verson of myself.

Damn Fallout 3 chins, I cna never get it to look right...

 

[Ace of Spades]

Hype. I know logically it is better not to get excited for upcoming games, but when I watch the trailer for Assassin's Creed 2, I just can't help myself.

 

[JenXXXJen]

This applies to a few things really, but I LOVE melodrama.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

Anything Golden Axe
RPGs with NO kid characters. I would love jrpgs if it weren't for the character design.
Survival horrors where your character isn't useless/

 

[Jonesy911]

Golly gee BATMAN! I buy anything with you in it!

 

[nicholaxxx]

ANY cheap game, Endwar was £10 so I bought it. Dark Sector war £5 so I bought it, Viking Battle for Asguard was £10 so I bought it. There are so many more.
Damn cheap games!

seconded, especially with new, GOOD games becoming progressivley cheaper (most games released within the last year are now about 40 bucks where I live) it's getting harder and harder to resist the amazing bargains, even though I'm saving up for a new arcade stick (old one broke somehow :[ )

 

[SimuLord]

Any city-builder or historical trade sim, no matter how mediocre, I always buy them and always end up going back to Patrician 3 and Tropico/SimCity 4 because they're better examples of the genre.

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

Yeh cheap games are so tempting, but finding a good one is like finding a needle in a haystack, unless you do a bit of reasearch beforehand.

and heres something to help you out: anything oddworld, they have gone out of buisness so it will be hard to find and when you do its GOING to be in a bargin bin

dark sector for the360 is good
chrome hounds
tribes (its actually free online)
tron 2.0 might be in a bargin bin
XIII
eat lead
sudeki
jade empire might be bargin bin

 

[michael_ab]

rpgs are my weakness, its not that i MUST buy them, its when i do i wont stop
i have about 600 hours in oblivion over multiple files, years in diablo (I, II, and LoD), about 200 hours in fable 2

ever try settlers of catan or carcassonne? their board games that have been adapted on the xbox live arcade, you might want to try them out

 

[jmd102993]

unfortunately for me now, i have to get all the sonic games that come out, i loved them so much on the good old consoles, genesis basically made up a good 2/3 of my childhood lol

 

[EvilMaggot]

if i see a game i think is good or i know is good ( maybe a old classic) and i just see it.. i buy it with an instant... impulsive purchasing... can be anoying sometimes tho i also like to do a research on games before hand sometimes (waiting on Red Faction Gurrilla to be released on Steam .. preorded)

 

[Daedalus1942]

I was doing some random shopping with my girlfriend today when I noticed the new Harry Potter game was out.

At first I thought to myself, "I bet it will be the same old HP game - linear gameplay with clunky and unresponsive controls. I don't need to buy it"

So we moved on from the store and continued our shopping...

1 hour later, with Harry Potter fever reaching its pitch in my head, I rushed back to the store and purchased the game.

I KNEW it was going to be EXACTLY the same as all the other ones I have sitting on my shelf... Just as I knew it when I bought the last HP game. I get home and start playing, only to find that, if anything, it's actually worse. It seems I will never learn.



To the topic at hand, it made me wonder if I could be the only one with such a weakness. I reasoned I probably am the only one for HP games, but what about others?

Whats your gaming weakness?

Sonic, I've loved that little hedgehog since day one, and while as impossibly hard as the game is, I'm enjoying Sonic Unleashed. I also liked 06, apart from it being a glitchy clusterfuck.

Except Wet.
