Gaming Confessions

[Haribo]

- I don't like Final Fantasy. The majority of Japanese games leave me bewildered, and it's little wonder they make no impact in the Western world. Having a main character who could be exposed as either gender doesn't cut it with me.

- I only found out a couple of years ago Zelda's not a bloke.

- I don't like Halo. It lacks originality, charisma and charm, but unfortunately sells millions of copies due to the fan base it received in America. I appreciate it kick started console online gaming, but it did nothing else.

- I got too scared to play Dead Space. I throw the controller across the room when I get to a 'jumpy' bit, and Dead Space has them throughout.

- I don't like 2D fighting games, Street Fighter being the main culprit. It's repetitive button mashing with woeful supposed-campaign modes.

-The Wii is fucking atrocious. A handful of good games and 99% of bloodcurdling shovelware. Waving my arms up and down does not represent swimming.

I've plenty more.

 

[The Messiah]

I thought Zelda was the name of the guy too & I didn't know it was a bird who was in Metroid.

 

[HH]

The Samus chick turned out to be quite hot.

 

[50!]

I've only ever played like 6 or 7 games:

PES
FIFA
Need for Speed
Gran Turismo
Championship/Football Manager
GTA
COD

In my opinion, Heart of Darkness, on the Playstation, was a great platformer.

I full-heartedly agree with this point.

- Aside from Final Fantasy VIII, I also think that the Final Fantasy series is crap.

- I hate the Legend of Zelda series, and do not understand the hype that surrounds it.

- I hate Street Fighter.

- The hype that surrounds Resident Evil 4 pisses me off greatly. I mean, it's good, but it's not THAT good. In my opinion, Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, 5, CVX, 0 and the REmake are all better.

- Despite the fact that I hate every other RPG ever, I love Final Fantasy VIII and Tales of Symphonia.

I've never completed a storyline by myself....

 

[Bish]

I bought Wayne's World for the SNES.

 

[Sabatasso]

My name is Jin.

I think Halo is shit.

Amen, I agree but I haven't played it. I think FPS is shit generally, but on console they are even worse. I only play FPS when I have friends over for LAN party and I really enjoy it then, because I never forgot my old school FPS skills from Doom, Unreal, Quake and Half Life. but I would never be caught alive playing FPS games alone.

Mass Effect and similar games is another story, those are great... I guess if it's RPG elements my views change completely.

 

[Nifty1Pound50]

Not me (and I do mean that - I've never owned any of the Metal Gear Solid series or even really played them), but one of my mates reminded me of this a couple of days ago and I have to post it.

His name is Tom and he has a gaming confession.

Whilst playing Metal Gear Solid on the PSone years ago, when he got to the point where it tells you to "turn off your console" he actually did. And was then stumped as to why he'd lost some of his progress. He literally switched his Playstation off. :faceplm:

 

[Rainey]

I've never completed a storyline by myself....

Scratch that, just completed Uncharted 2 and it felt good

 

[Luis_Garcia]

My name is Michael and I love cheese.

 

[Jonno394]

My name is Jon and here are my gaming confessions.

- I do not like the Call of Duty series, and have never owned a title from it.

- The Final Fantasy series may be the best JRPG series around, but even then it is overrated and mostly shit.

- I preferred Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter as a kid, and I have never owned a SF game.

- GTA Vice City is the only GTA title I have played, enjoyed and completed. I got bored with the rest.

 

[hywelkidd]

My name is Hywel and here are my gaming confessions:

- I think the COD series is over-rated
- I got very bored of GTA:LCS and GTA:VCS so have never completed them (but have completed every other GTA game)
- I still think PES is better than FIFA and love PES2010
- I have every NES and SNES game on my laptop and play some of them regularly

 

[stottmeister]

names al, heres a few of my confessions:

i buy old games, spend ages attempting to finish them as i dont actually get the 360 on that often, usually buy another old game before finishing the last one, do this a few times then trade the lot of old unfinished games for a couple more old games.

spend ages editing and being over particular about detail, forza, my cars were imacculately modded yet i spent not too much time racing them, pro evo, my kits are tip top yet my match count is still probably below 20, until i eventually satisfy myself with the editing and start a ML.

if i do get a new game i get so far through it then see it as currency to get a few older games to get as trade in.

i hate RPG's like final fantasy but star wars KOTR was one of my favorite games, not because of the gameplay, just because i love the films and enjoyed the idea of acting one out in the game, i tried mass effect as the gameplay was very similar but traded it within the week as it was shit.

the fact i hated final fantasy didn't stop me watching the film tho, this may be because aki was fine.:blush:
