    Games You Wanted To Get But Couldn't Due To Exclusivity

    Most of the games I wanted to play are on PSN anyways (and usually cheaper than finding an actual PS1 copy)

    Games you have played A LOT but never finished.

    The original XCOM and Terror from the Deep. I love the series, but the final mission(s) in the first are brutal (At least the 1st half. I never got to the second half), and Terror form the Deep has multiple 2-part missions.+ Roller Coaster Tycoon: Did anyone play through the "Campaign"...

    Games You Wanted To Get But Couldn't Due To Exclusivity

    Due to exclusivity? None. My friend has a 360, and I have a PS3 and a PC. Luckily most of the exclusives (on either end) sparked no interest from me. However many PS1 and 2 games evade me, as I don't have a working PS1/2 or they aren't on the PSN. Oh, well. I'll live.

    You wake up in 1991

    Seeing as I would be 4 years old...? Probably just ace everything in school, and not change too much until I turned 18. I'd quit McDonalds MUCH sooner Finish my degree instead of being forced to drop out Get a degree in a field I enjoy working in, instead of the one I was working towards...

    Does a sequel number put you off trying a game?

    Depends if it's a direct, or indirect sequel. Silent Hill for example: To enjoy Silent Hill 2 or 3, you don't need to play 1 or even really know about them. It helps in 3's case since Harry from 1 is in it, but his involvement is more or less explained. Also, the Resident Evil series...

    How long until you give up on a game?

    Depends on the game, and WHY I'm playing. I played WoW for 4 years, and only had maybe 100 Hours in it that I've had actual fun. (Being and MMO 100 hours is nothing), the rest was grinding and killing time til I needed to do something or a raid occurred that I was going to. I kept playing...

    Poll: Serious talk, Would you care if people didn't like you?

    I don't really care if people dislike me or not. I just like to know where I stand with everyone. If you don't like me, don't talk behind my back. Have the balls to tell me to my face. If you have a valid reason for disliking me, fine. If not, prepare to be disliked right back. I tend to...

    Has a game affected your dreams?

    Imagine that, but after playing Outlast. After meeting Trager. I woke up in a sleep paralysis state trying to scream, but my body wouldn't let me. I just lay their awake and aware of what what happening, screaming while making no sound and shaking violently. And yeah, I feel everything...

    What's the best game you ever got for free?

    I would unfortunately have to day WoW, basically when Wrath of the Lich King came out years ago, a friend drug me to a midnight release of it, and bought it. Only to remember later that he pre-ordered(and paid it off) it at another store. I got a free copy of WotLK, and he let me borrow the...

    Party members in RPG's: Do you try to use all of them, or just focus on a few?

    Depends on the role they serve and how well they can do it. In Final Fantasy 6, I used 4 characters Primarily (Relm(Ultimax2), Sabin(Bum Rush), Locke(Ultima Weaponx8), Edgar(Dragoon Build)), but when the final dungeon came around, I ended up having to use my lesser used people. I managed to...

    Boss Battles That You Enjoyed Playing

    +1 Shadow of the Colossus, with exception of the Giant Eel thing. Underwater scares the crap out of me, the rest were extremely fun though. MGS1: Psycho Mantis -- Changing the controller slot? That's something I never heard of before (Side note: I nearly gave up on this game when I couldn't...

    How did you get that M-rated game?

    As long as the game didn't have any overt sexual content, my parents were fine with it. Luckily most games that came out before I was 18 had next to none due to it being industry standard. I was 16 when Vice City came out, I don't think there was anything I couldn't see or hear on TV anyways...

    "This Is Gonna Suck" Moments In Games

    Poll: Are you happy with your weight?

    I wouldn't mind gaining about 10-20 lbs. I used to weigh about 150 when I worked at a local McDonalds, and my weigh dropped to about 110 within a year afterwards, and I've been trying to get some of it back ever since, with very little luck.

    Poll: Can you play a game based on the promise that it will get interesting later on?

    If it's the type of game or story that needs/benefits from a slow start, I can manage, but I shouldn't have to beat enough of the game to finish a standard game before the game gets good. (6-8 hours, before I'm going to be interested?, No.) If the game intrigues me enough, the story premise...
