I think Half-Life 2 is entirely without merits and the Gravity gun is boring.

I rather enjoy cover-based combat, because I think it's only reasonable to put a wall between you and the bullets.

I think regenerating health is brilliant, because it allows the devs to enforce strict control every encounter and make the thing tougher as a whole. (As opposed to playing DOOM II, where I often got blown up because a fly farted in my direction after a tough firefight before I could find any health kits)

1) I honestly enjoyed The Legend of Spyro games (I think the fact that I didn't judge them based on the Insomniac trilogy helped.)
I'm with you on that one,not my favorite but still pretty good games.

OT:I liked both Metroid Fusion and Prime 2: Echoes better than Metroid Prime 1.

Also the only Valve game I've ever really liked is Portal(did not play the squeal)

Mine would be that I don't see what all the fuss is about when it comes to PS3 exclusives they all seem fairly average to me hence why I never touch my PS3 anymore.

I bought Pokemon Black, even though I knew that there was a chance I wouldn't like it.

I was right.

In my opinion, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is a genuinely good piece of storytelling.

It sold out weekly when it came out. Don't feel bad. It sold faster than any other game at the store I was working at over the Christmas/End of year holiday period when it came out.

(Yes it was an actual gaming store. Not a department store.)
Glad to know I'm not completely insane. When I mentioned the game to a few friends who game they simply stuck up their nose and thought I had gone mad. :D

I liked DNF. Then again I've never really played a Duke Nukem game before it.

there are no perfect games, so its good that there are haters there to hate so that the developers always have something to reach for. i like too many games so my capital sin would
probably be to accept too many games for what they are and only look at their quality sides...

For instance ive bought both modern warfare 2 and black ops, even though i wasnt going to in the first place. i dont really like the games too much either...
but for some reason my steam says i spent near 1k hours on modern warfare 2 multiplayerand over 300 hours on black ops multiplayer.

maybe its the low bar on the multiplayer... i find it incredibly easy to dominate those games

It can be hating a fan favorite character
One word: Sephiroth

Expanded to three words: Final Fantasy VII

It was passable when it came out, though disappointing. The FMVs were overhyped, the game was buggy, and the story was swiss cheese. And yet it's still lauded by legions of magnesium-pantied fans over a decade later.


And I loved VIII. Go figure.

we are on the same boat, EVERYONE hated VIII and i loved it, the story at least was more constructed than VII, but whatever...

Dragon Age 2 was an improvement over Origins in every conceivable way. On general games forums, that statement isn't so bad - you're always likely to find a few other people who share your opinion. On the Bioware Social Network? Not a chance. I'm honestly starting to wonder if the BSN doesn't automatically filter out "Dragon Age 2 was better than Origins" and replace it with "I had sex with all of your mothers. Multiple times. I'm actually having sex with her right now" judging by the reactions from other members.

I guessing my would be for not owning a Xbox 360 so I have miss out on many good games (Bioshock, Gears of War, Deadspace, Portal, Batman Arkham Asylum and many more).
Four of those five games were multi-platform releases for the 360, PS3, and PC. And I would recommend each one of them if you have a PC that can run them or if you have a PS3. (As long as you enjoy those genres, of course.)

OT: Well, to the people on this site, mine would be that I've actually enjoyed the Halo and Gears of War series' and I don't feel that Sonic the Hedgehog should be brought behind a shed and shot (a view which I believe most people only hold because Yahtzee said it), I actually believe that his games are getting better and better now.

Multi-Player FPSs hold zero appeal to me. Every few years, I'll try one. 1942. Operation Flashpoint. SoCom. Rainbow Six. CoD:MW3 All rather meh. I'd play the campaign for maybe an hour. The multi-player for 2-3 hours, and be done with it.

I kinda liked Star Wars Battlefront, but that was it; even then, I'd play it maybe a few hours a month.
