To be honest? If I am to take the majority of news article comments and forum board postings into account, I'd say I'm literally the only human being on this planet that has enjoyed every single Call of Duty game.

Haven't played Generations, Colors, Unleashed, nor any of the Adventure games. Can't afford to spend $60 dollars on a new game very often, especially when I'm uncertain about how good it will be and how long it will last me (I generally hate short games unless it's Portal); and I didn't grow up with a Dreamcast. Also, I personally prefer Sonic 3 to Sonic 2, especially when it's combined with Sonic & Knuckles. Hyper Sonic ftw!SargentToughie said:
Well there's the problem. It seems there's been a failure to communicate. I took your original response as hostility (I assume everyone on the internet, especially forums, are dickheads). That is not what I meant so I apologize for the confusion. For the record, everyone I know doesn't like M&B because it is either boring, choppy or weird. I personally love it.Starke said:
That game, while not having the best story, had the most fun battle system in the entire FF series for me. If they include that battle system again I would buy it.michiehoward said:
Who are these people? I have never heard such complaints and have always thought Okami was well-respected for it's visual style.Melopahn said:
Then clearly the solution is to spend more time here, where it was gleefully accepted as something akin to Elite: Medieval, and only about 20% of the population are random sociopaths looking to drive you insane through sheer force of will and unwarranted hostility. ...or find the Escapist IRC where Xitel will probably hate the game just to be weird and the rest will try to drive you insane through sheer force of weirdness.WhiteFlower said:
Duke Nukem Forever was alright, I thought. I always thought I was in a minority there.
Amongst my friends though, it's Battlefield. I've been trying to get some of my CoD playing friends to play and pretty much all of them have one go then decide it's "cheating" when they are shot from half a mile away by a sniper who has to allow for gravity, splattered into jam by a tank, or chopped to bits by a helicopter that can track and follow them with a two man crew (as opposed to one called in by aknifekill-streak that can see targets through rooftops!)

Against most reviewers, I've enjoyed Metroid: Other M. I won't pick it up all that much now that I've finished it, but I'll still watch the cutscenes.
Against most people here on the Escapist, I've enjoyed every Modern Warfare and Halo game, even Halo Wars, not as much as the others, but still.
Against most of my friends, Dante's Inferno. I thought it was fun, it did no justice for the poem, but on its own merits it was a good action game.

Jon St. John IS Duke Nukem to me, he breaths life into the character because of how talented he is. And I think I know who Jon St. John is, since I met the man at ConnectiCon 2011 and he signed my copy of Duke Nukem Forever. The greatest day of my life so far.Starke said:Chrome had John St.John doing the voice of the bland as a brick protagonist. It's another bad game, but can be a lot of fun, and it's not Duke, but it's still John St.John...
My friends put it like this: In order for Persona 4 to be good, it needs cover based shooting and two truck loads of manly testosterone. The anime also needs to go "Bye-Bye", because real men don't watch silly cartoon-y japanese people.The Wykydtron said:
I just ignored them and jumped into my plasma screen.
OT: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Being the first Metal Gear I played, I went in not knowing much about Snake or Big Boss other than what I was exsposed to in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Once I got about half way through the game, I was hooked. I'm not usually a stealth game kind of guy, but this was beyond fantastic, even for a portable game.
After that, I decided to play through the series in it's entirety.
My friends called me crazy for liking something different, but what do they know? All they play is Call Of Duty.
Dragon Age 2. I was shocked when I saw it was on a lot of peoples' "Worst games of 2011", when it is clearly on my "Best games of 2011." I actually liked it a measure more than the original Dragon Age (better story, UI, gameplay, and side characters; worse area variety, smaller world, and cant be an elf/dwarf), and I'm even more in the minority on that. I've never played a Bioware game that I wouldn't recommend. Ah well, we'll see how many people can be won back by DA3.
God, if anyone uses the phrase "real men don't X" 100% seriously (and they're not suffering from deep seated acceptance issues) then they deserve to be boiled alive in a vat of liquid testosterone!neonsword13-ops said:
Real man your way out of that! You pile of wank!
And i think the anime should go "Bye Bye" as well... Only for a completely different reason, it's not bad per se (in fact it did the best it possibly could have done when making a Persona 4 anime.)
It's just inferior to the game in every possible way and anyone watching it without having played the game first is going to have fuck all idea of what's going on. But i'm totally going to go five ways bananas when they release an english dub. I need Naoto's dubbed voice like burning
Now the real question is why i'm still awake at 5 in morning... Go team insomnia!
That game was fucking awesome. I had a friend who would play this game with me whenever he came over.chickenhound said:kirby's air ride
I like it more than mario kart and everyone thinks I am nuts
Prototype. LOVED it. If they screw the sequel up appealing to the masses, I'll be very sad-face.
Also another vote for Mirror's Edge, beautiful and unique game, and FFVIII; it was the first FF I ever played and it blew my mind; I was shocked to hear it wasn't as well received as I took it.
