Guilty Pleasure in Games

[1080bitgamer]

This title says it all, try to name any guilty pleasures you've had over the years in games.

For instance:
Megaman Battle Network 3. Weird turn for megaman, yes, but this was a really interesting twist of action and turn based RPGs. Tons of fun too. I've beaten it several times.

Killing the children in fallout

He crossed it out but in Fallout 3 this was mine.

My second playthrough, I just couldn't take the annoyance, killable children mod and a minigun later and all was well in the world.

Then I went back to Megaton and shot Moira in the face ... her voice grates on me something rotten.

I have a serious problem with collecting stuff. I have no idea why I gain so much enjoyment from doing it, because there's no real reason to be doing it.

Stuff like collecting all the books in Skyrim, or hoarding guns that drop in Jagged Alliance 2 and stockpiling them at Drassen Airport even though I know I'll never use them.

Okay so the term guilty pleasure does not exist. You don't need to hide behind something in order to like it. Think if your friends judge you for doing something, then they are not really your friends. My friends all know that I still play Pokemon. Every once in awhile I will tell them about stuff with every generation. Alright to play kiddie style games if they bring enough stuff to the table. Love the strategy of Wi-fi battles.

I play Pokemon as well! But when I say guilty pleasure, I mean something that you like for unusual reasons. For instance, my friend loves Sonic R, though he hates almost everything about it except the music and the character design.

In the force unleashed I would bash storm-trooper into the ground repeatedly until they died.

Disgaea is my new-found guilty pleasure.

Only a month of knowing the series existed and I almost have every version of every game. Getting Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention this weekend.

For those that have never played Disgaea, it's like Final Fantasy tactics or Tactics Ogre injected itself with every type of drug imaginable and now the characters can do the craziest shit in pixel sprite form. Fuck 3-D character models. Every character can get to level 9,999 as well.

It's insane. Just watch:

Okay sorry about that. Yeah I have tons of games that I love for weird reasons.

No problem, and btw are you getting black and white 2?

Technically 19,998. At least in the first game, not sure if that limit was upped in the others.

I only played the first. That being said, I had a lot of fun with it! I just never had a chance to grab any of the other ones after that.

I like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest more than later numerical FF titles. I also consider Mystic Quest more deserving of a numeral than XIII.

I love playing the Super Mario Brothers games but haven't actually beaten any of the NES ones.

Predator on the NES.

Fallout turned me into a horder. I collected everything I found and kept dumping it into the crater in the middle of Megaton. After 20 hours the game crashed where i had so much crap in the town that it filled the crater up to moira's shop. So I nuked the town to clear it out... Then it started raining tin cans. Strange weather in the wasteland.

Literally know nothing about Black and White 2, so are they going to have new Pokes, is it just more story?

No new Pokémon (unless you count Kyuurem's new forms) and the world appears to be mostly covered in ice.

You could reincarnate as many times as you want in 3 & 4, right? (Don't know about 2 'cause I haven't played it yet)

If so, you could just keep getting max levels and start over and over again at level 1. I believe max level in Dis1 was 19,998 for some of the item world residents. Not sure about playable characters though because my main, Laharl, is only level 31.

Slaughtering civilians in Prototype was so effing hilarious! Don't know why, it was Sadistic, but it was SO FUN!!!!!

Also; blowing off heads in Mass Effect 3! Dang Cerberus whores!!

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

The bigger the potential for douchebaggery in a game, the more I feel guilty while engaging in said douchebaggery. In KOTOR, for example, getting the two rival families to murder each other felt so bad, but was so hilarious that even when I played Light Side I was tempted to let them all burn. Similarly, open-world games that let you do mean things to NPCs mean I spend embarrassing amounts of time throwing crap at them, or trapping them in corners, etc.

Yes, but you don't accrue more stats after 19,998 stored levels IIRC. I can't remember most of the residents other than 1900 being the cap for Armsmasters.

So much Winged Slayer spam levelling.

Let's just say that I believe if you're playing dead rising 2 wearing anything but a knotted plaid top and cut-off jean shorts, you're doing it wrong.

Saints Row the Third. I know, I know, the whole game is designed to be played as a giant guilty pleasure, but where else can I vent my frustration by shedding all my clothes, jumping at full spring wang-first onto someone's face and driving them to the ground? Where else can I go naked skydiving, only to refuse to pull the chute, trying to land on someone's car? Where else can I dress up in a mascot outfit, pretend to be one of the many mascots that roam the streets, only to pull out a rocket launcher that shoots exploding, singing octopuses out at people, mind controlling them into being my servants, waiting for a large crowd together, then blowing up the cranium-attached gastropods?

The whole game is designed as a guilty pleasure, really.

Fallout turned me into a horder. I collected everything I found and kept dumping it into the crater in the middle of Megaton.

@.@ must...not...try...this...

Never thought that they were that bad as some people would say they are...
They were fun little games and despite the constant backtrack I did enjoy them.

I loved the Manko planet driving in ME. It made me feel like an explorer/bounty hunter, plus it made the universe feel big, which is what the latter ME games failed to do.

Even though he is incredibly easy to use and annoying as hell to fight at low levels, I used Ragna quite a lot in Blazblue online, also Valkenhayn becase being a werewolf is cheating =D

I also drove my friend mad by maining hakumen, the one character he can't stand to fight.
