gamming confessions

[The Dude]

- Still have a friends copy of Soul Blade from 1998 despite no longer having contact with them.
- Naively imported a US PS2 when I was 14-15 only to be hit with well over £100 in cash on delivery charges (And had imported it for Devil May Cry 2 so another dumb move there*
- Everytime I got a new console my dad in his "Im such a generous guy" routine kept giving away all my old games to other relatives without my consent, to this date my older cousin has my Sega Mega Drive II and 20+ games, and other cousins have most my SNES games with exception to Donkey Kong Country, Zelda: LTTP, Mario World, Street Fighter 2 and a few other games I fought tooth and nail to keep!
- Clocked over 300+ hours on FFVII, VIII and X, and 150+ hours on FFXII, X-2 It took me 2 times to get 100% but as it was relatively short it only took me 20-30 hours to do, IX I sped through as first time round I really hated it, re-bought it a year or so ago along with FFVIII to play through on my US PS2 and completely changed my tune clocking 70+ hours on it.
- First time I played RE2 I didn't realise that everything you did was timed for a final end of game grade, so left it on the inventory screen or left the game running whenever I went for a toilet/food/shower break, final time was something like 15 hours first time through.
- Yes i've done the no memory card quest for FFVII, the no levelling up quest for VIII and IX too.

2) I've never played REmake and Zero.
3) The whole MGS series are my favorite games and I like MGS4 most.
4) I actualy never comlayened about Raiden presense in MGS2, I liked playng him and I think he is a cool game character.
5) The only FF game I played was Dirge of Cerberus.

I am very....very tempted to buy a sealed copy ($80) of one of my all time favorite games: Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the NES.

Ha! Friggin' awesome video game! I still have my original copy from childhood (about 4~5 years old when I obtained it)...

Unfortunately, I had (and still have) the same problem as you - I can't beat it. I can make it to Doom (?), but I get killed everytime by that hose shooting that, liquid, whatever it is...

[The John Doe]

Awhile back I hit a moose while driving home drunk. That moose kelp yelling "Help me! Help me! I'm just a little boy." But I was so plastered that I just ignored that talking moose.

Oh wait where talking about video games huh? Well lets see. I'll start with the negitives.

I own all Resident Evil :Outbreaks and Resident Evil : Code Veronica and have yet to beat either. Don't get me wrong. I like the games. I beat many leves in Outbreak one and two, and I made it to Anaritca in Code Veronica(That Tyrant on the plane was as son of a bitch!). But I kelp getting distracted by other games to complete either.

I never could get in to the Grand Theft Auto games. I have to quote The Dark Moon on this about liking violence in video games as much as the next guy. But Mindless violence is just boring. I own Grand Theft Auto Four and I bought it more or less because right now there is nothing else for the XBOX360 that I want, that I don't already have that is.

Speaking of Mindless violence: I also own The Club. Which I am starting to feel was a mistake. The game was made to be an arcade style shooter. That may be fun to some people, but I was ready to throw it out the window when I first got it. You run around and shoot people. You have a timer to complete each level... And that's it. No story, no nothing. Just run and gun. Again: Don't get me wrong. I enjoying going around and shooting people as much as the next guy (You know what I mean). But I perfer games where you can take your time in the killing. Such as The Punisher or Kane and Lynch and etc.

I played the very first Final Fantasy as a kid, and then one of the first ones that came to Playstation one. I personally didn't like the games. That's just me and my point of view.

Never played Devil may cry. I have the demo to one of those games. The one that comes with Resident Evil : Code Veronica. Maybe I should give it a try.

I have no idea what Kingdom Hearts is.

I couldn't get in to F.E.A.R.

I own every Silent Hill and have yet to beat any of them. Silent Hill : Originals and Silent Hill Three for the Playstation 2. Silent Hill : Restless Dreams and Silent Hill : The Room for XBOX. Of course Silent Hill One for the Playstation One.

I never played any of the Fatal Frame games. But they do seem interesting.

I only played the first Metal Gear Solid and don't remember much about it.

I have never played World of Warcrath, nor do I wish to. I don't have anything agasnt the game itself, just the idea of so many people wasting their lives on an online game bothers me. I know of people that spends night and days stuck to their computer, almost never leaving the room. Even heard of some using chamber pots beause they are too stuck to the game to go to the bathroom. Now I've never called myself a gamer. But being a gamer means I'll turn in to one of those vampire-Junkie-Things than no Thank you. Again I mean no disrespect to the people that do play online games and such.

Anyways. Now to the good stuff. I enjoy games that have a good story to them. many that I name now do.

I normally don't like First-Person-Shooters. So The few I do have are in my view, good games. I have all three Halo games. I like them for the mix of good story kick ass graphix and fun game play. I don't like them because the crowd likes them (That's because they saw anoter crowd liking them), I like just like them. Though sadly Halo 3 did let me down a bit. But I don't wanna get bogged down with that.

One of my all time favorite games is Stubbs The Zombie : Rebel without a pulse. I know it's a bit corny. But I honestly love the game. I own the XBOX verison. Stubbs is the man! Lets see any of the heros from Resident Evil try to take down that Zombie.

I own and love The ManHunt games. It's jsut the whole threal of the hunt I guess.

I own all the XBOX Mortal Kombat games. I enjoy them very much, But I don't like the direction the series is going in with the whole Mortal Kombat Vs. D.C.. It reminds me too much of when Capcom tried that with Street Fighter Vs Marvel. Anyone remember that? I thought it sucked.

Such games as Kane and Lynch, Army of TWO, Bad Company, CONAN, The Suffering games, Dead Rising, Cold Fear, and a few others that would take too long to name (I have over 60 games) are games I own and I believe are the best games ever made. But that's just me.

Now what is this I hear about a game you play and knock women's clothes off by playing billiards?

[rewak]

Few more

-I never finished Silent Hill 4, when i found out i had to replay all the stages i had just been though whilst protecting that stupid Eileen girl, i stopped.
-Never finished Project Zero (Fatal Frame) 1 or 2, started to really drag on and get more annoying than scary
-I believe the first game i ever completed was Tomb Raider
-The only MMO i have ever played was The Matrix Online, and that was only because i was playing the beta test for free
-I have a cat named Lara (after Lara Croft)

[ZERO]

i have a few more confessions to make

-i never played remake nor re 0.
-now that i finished the story in gta 4 my ps3 its currently a paperweight.
-i never played ff7 but i hate it.
-i had ff 8 for like a hole year and love it but never beat it.
-when i was going to buy mi ps2,my dad sold my psone with all my games(re1,re2,re3,parasite eve 2,chrono cross and a lot of other games) without saying anything to me,i had to buy re2,re3 again and never found the others to sell.

[Greko]

- I hate the Outbreak games with a passion, more so File 1 than 2
- I have played through FF7 more times than I can count and there aren't many things I haven't done in it, sub-mission wise, etc
- I have FF7 on my PSP at the moment, and used to use levelling up to fall asleep at night. I hit level 70 before the end of Disc One
- I've had a PS3 and MGS4 ALL summer and I haven't touched either yet
- I think Resident Evil Zero and th first Gun Survivor game are ace
- I have a habbit of buying games and then never finding the time to play them
- I LOVE and am scared crapless of Project Zero/Fatal Frame 1 but refuse to ever play it again as I originally bought it for my first serious girlfrend when i was 16 (I'm 21 now) and she fucked me over, so I generally hate anything I liked when I was with her (I even stopped liking anime as much as I did)
- SOS The Final Escape is one of my favourite games
- One of my favourite gaming moments was when I was playing Silent Hill 3 and talking to RandomWab online when I got trapped in a room that apparently is an instant kill if you don't escape, and I had RW effectively screaming at me to escape the room over msn
- Me and my friends used the game Mashed as a drinking game. If you don't win, you take a shot, the lower the place you scored, the more you drink i.e. 4th place = 4 shots
- Some of the more atmospheric survival horror games, such as Project Zero 2, still scare me to play them in the dark haha

I think I've written enough so I'll call it quits there

[The Dude]

Street Fighter Vs Marvel. Anyone remember that? I thought it sucked.

You blaspheme, the Arcade versions of Marvel Superheroes VS Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom 2 *have it on PS2 and Dreamcast* were great competitive titles.

[The John Doe]

Okay. I don't mean to be a blasphemer. ;) I'll be honest. I didn't think the games themselves sucked. I found them entertaining to play. But I guess just the idea of Marvel and Street Fighter together rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I'm just old fashion. It's the way I feel about the new up coming Mortal Kombat and DC.

[LeonsBuddyDave]

-The best Pokemon games are Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald are okay, but mostly hype. I still play all of those regularily. However, Diamond/Pearl suck.
-The only Spyro games that I acknowledge the existence of are the first three.
-I rock out at expert on Guitar Hero. This shames me.
-Silent Hill scares the crap out of me.
-At last count, have beaten Resident Evil 4 82 times over 3 different systems.

[Helegad]

All the Pokemon games are essentially the same!!! I hate that. There's no new ideas or concepts in any of them.

[Nomad9026]

Remembered two more, I've played RE4 more than any other RE game and the only games I've beted on the highest difficulty was RE4 and GOW chains of olympus.

[LeonsBuddyDave]

-I played the REmake before the original. I literally fell out of my chair laughing at the live-action cutscene in the beginning of the original after playing.
-I liked Pokemon Trading Card Game for GBC and was disappointed when the sequel didn't come to America.
-I like Pokemon Snap even though I haven't played it in several years.
-(I don't know if this counts, but whatever) I still have regular Pokemon card duels with my friends, and I'm 14. (When we can't get together, we duel via webcam. XD)
-Sonic the Hedgehog disgusts me, however I will concede that he is the fastest blue hedgehog around.
-I've been secretly hoping for an online Lobster-based MMORPG.

[TheSelfishGene]

-I liked Pokemon Trading Card Game for GBC and was disappointed when the sequel didn't come to America.

-Sonic the Hedgehog disgusts me

I loved the TCG on GBC. Wasn't too difficult, but was cheaper than buying the cards (which we all did anyway ).

I haven't enjoying playing a sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles.

I really got into Pokemon RBY, and Gold and Silver just blew my mind.
Then they come up with crap like this.

A rock.... with a fucking beak...
