Generally Accepted Gaming Facts
- Thread starter MercurySteam
- Start date
I'm extremely picky about what games I get (as of this writing, I only have four). I never assume a game is worth buying before it comes out. I would rather wait for it get released, then make a decision based on the feedback.The Unworthy Gentleman said:

No matter how good the rest of the game and it's AI is, the escort missions target will always be a moron who gets him/herself killed at every possible oppurtunity.
No matter how awesome a weapon in an RPG is, there will always be one better than it in the next dungeon, the infinity plus one sword is exempt from this rule.
When confronted with frustration or anger over a level, your first instinct will be to chuck your fifty dollar controller at the wall rather than take a breath or count to ten.
The computer is a fucking bastard and will always cheat in order to win.

You will always use all of your grenades to get pass a section really quickly and then have no grenades for the section where you have to charge a machine gun position.
1- If there is a creepy castle to be found, it's a safe bet that it probably belongs to your Arch Nemesis and will be crawling with his henchmen.
2- If you fight a skeleton and it crumbles into a pile of bones, it will always, ALWAYS, get back together again.
3- No NPC will ever question your God Given right to carry around a ridiculous amount of weapons on you.

Fable was ok I guess, it wasn't awful but nothing spectacular, Fable 2 was a hype sandwich with hype spread and a tall glass of boring story and boring jobs/missions/NPCs for dessert, Fable 3 I found lessened the hype a tad, even if the creepiness of Peter's "Touch" speeches made me miss the hype speeches, the story was alot better but the weapons/customization/interactions/ and that fucking room made the whole experience a chore.AdmanUK said:
Most games based on movies suck, if there is an exception, I haven't found it.
Most players on Halo or CoD are annoying assholes that have stupid gamertags (Not hating I love both games)
Somehow no one gets tired of Mario or Zelda, including me.

QTEs or combos or rapid parkour races suck immensely if your computer lags for that crucial 0.2seconds.
