Even funnier is a post I can't find where dunpeal2064 offered to send me a Saturn for free, and I begged him not to do so because I didn't want another console to collect for haha.

Re: True Gaming Confessions
I generally hate Western game design. If I were to make a top ten list of my favorite games ever, all of them would be Japanese.

Re: True Gaming Confessions
I have 300+ games on my Steam account and have only played less than 20 and beat less than 10 
I think I love the idea of video games more than actually playing them. I rarely buy new games these days and when I do I never play them. I like to think it's because I have a family and choose to spend time with them over playing games, but when I do sit down to play a game I don't play for more than 30 minutes. I also don't know if I will continue buying new systems. I may just wait until my kids are old enough to want a game system and buy them the new one at the time. Maybe when my kids can play with me I will play more. But, like yesterday my free time was spent building dinosaurs out of playdoh with my 2yr old daughter.
I got to the final boss fights on FF VIII and IX, died, turned the system off and never beat either game. I have no idea why :/
I hate FF VII, and have never played Chrono Trigger.
It took me 20 years to beat Dragon Warrior. I got it for my 8th birthday and was unable to beat it, mainly because I didn't understand RPGs at the time. It wasn't until I was 28 yrs old working at a kiosk in the mall when i was playing an emulator on my cell phone that I was able to beat it.
I hate Call of Duty.

Re: True Gaming Confessions
Me too. I liked it fine up until Modern warfare 2, and kept playing into black ops. I bought MW3 for my wife when it came out, and I think I played it once.. MAYBE twice. She's on her own with the latest one though. I'm not contributing any of my money to that franchise anymore. BF3 was damn good when it came out, but I'm not too fond of it anymore either. I have gotten to the point where I like the $15.00 PSN games over the $60.00 games.Frag Mortuus wrote:I hate Call of Duty.

Re: True Gaming Confessions
MW2 was the turning point, IMO. That's where the quality and writing dropped to the point where the games are still good for a single playthrough, but there's not much point in revisiting afterwards.puke_face wrote:Me too.

The COD series happens to match right up with my playing style, however. Short, and no need to replay works out great. It's one of the few series I can consistently beat despite my low attention span and tight schedule.

Re: True Gaming Confessions
I think that's where I draw the line between the cost and length of a game. I'm not really comfortable with paying $60.00 for a game that is only really worth one play through. I suppose you are paying more for the multi-player on a game like that though. I know several people who haven't ever touched campaign mode.BoringSupreez wrote:Short, and no need to replay works out great.
