Mostly my Capital sins of gaming involve me hating (in no particular order) Minecraft, The Elder Scroll Series, The Fallout Series and Valve; there's probably other companies/games I don't like, but I'm kind of busy at work and just typing this in a lull between deliveries.

I hate most shooters and enjoy games with a good story and boring gameplay.
Huh, you seem to be my opposite, though I certainly wouldn't say that's a "sin". I'd almost say you're in the majority, Escapist wise, at least. Just about everybody here seems to prioritize story over gameplay....except me. Oh, the responses I get when I say I primarily play FPS and RTS, both mostly online multiplayer.

But yea, I suppose that's my sin, since I love multiplayer, and think Yahtzee's "Every full priced game should be able to stand on it's single player alone" bit is painfully outdated and wrong. Nothing wrong with a full price game prioritizing multiplayer over singleplayer, so long as it's done well, but that doesn't mean I think EVERY game needs multiplayer....though the lack of good non-MMO RPG's as of late is kinda depressing.

Oh, also not a fan of those guys who made Bayonetta and Vanquish....Platinum, or something? Their name escapes me, but I just don't like any of their stuff.

I hate Planescape: Bored as Fuck. If I wanted to play a book-reading simulator, I'd use kindle to read the Brothers Karamazov, or Gravity's Rainbow, or Neuromancer...or any of a whole warehouse full of different books that are all better than the story in Planescape.

Or if I wanted to have fun playing a game for that matter, I could play any of a number of games that are more fun to play than Planescape: Why Did I Just Read a Christian Novel.

It's like going to watch a musical: even the best of them is still just going to be a mediocre play mixed with some mediocre music. You'd be better served hearing better music at a concert or just watching a damn play.

I bought FIFA 11 and i am about to buy FIFA 12. A lot of people critize people who buy consecutive sports games, but i actually feel that this years´instalment is way more than a roster change. But i guess it´s still considered a gaming capital sin.

I hate Auron. He's not cool or badass or anything else. He's a hypocrite. More than Tidus, more than Wakka, more than anyone else, he is my least favorite character from that game.

Sometimes, when nobody's looking, I bunny hop all the way across maps to get to the fight. Also, I happen to think that the Bazooka in Day of Defeat: Source is applicable in all situations. This has earned my quite a few kicks and some hate mail :D

Zelda ocarina of time is the best zelda game . Anyone that says its due to nostalgia is an idiot because ive played all the zelda games before it and the all the zeldas after it and majoras mask didn't come out too long after OOT so why wouldn't majoras mask suffer from nostalgia goggles?

Also
final fantasy christal chronicals series suck .
Jrpgs are rpgs
Zelda is a rpg
Majora's Mask is a billion times better than Ocarina of Time. It doesn't need nostalgia goggles to stay an amazing game.

I love JRPGs, I love Final Fantasy, I loved Mirror's Edge, I hated Heavy Rain, I don't see the hype in Gears of War 1, 2, or 3, I like Hunted: The Demon's Forge, and I hate FPS games.

Greed, even when risking my life.

I always rush out to get that extra bit of ammo, money or whatever there is to collect in games, usually resulting in my horrible death or coming very close to it.

I never learn.

I used a walkthrough to play Blue Dragon on the first attempt...not because it was hard but because i wanted to max all the achievements in one playthrough. I don't do that anymore until i've finished a game at least once.

I think Mass Effect 2 is one of the worst sequels ever.

I prefer turn based games to reaction games.

I think the single player campaign on all the Call of Duty games are excellent

I look down on PC gamers as the lowest form of gaming life

The list goes on and on...
for the statement about PC gamers, you are going to hell. How about the endless Xbox playing teenagers who can't form sentences other than: lol, noob. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!! and so on? Ok, i admit, we, the PC gamers have our share of those also, not so many though. Seing that you prefer turn based games i immediately thought you were a smart, rational, thinking person. But now i see you as an imbecile. The lowest form of gaming life exists on the PC(MMORPG-s) but don't dismiss a whole race just because of one fraction.

I've posted this once before on a similar thread:

I don't like Metal Gear Solid games, and can't fathom how anyone would classify the MGS games as "stealth games". Not when there are games series like Splinter Cell and Hitman.

Please, try not to start a flame war, I just want people to share their opinions, there´s no need to discuss it because it´s pointless, you won´t change people´s opinions talking from a forum.

I don't like Minecraft,building stuff isn't "fun" for me.

Oblivion didn't "blew me away".First person RPG's isn't my cup of tea(there are a few exceptions: Deus Ex,Fallout 3).I hope Skyrim will change my mind.

I bought SC2 Collector's Edition for the story part only.I don't enjoy the multiplayer part of the game(that and my PC can't handle full scale fights).

I don't like Valve or Half Life 2. Portal was just ok.
I would probably feel differently if it wasn't for their respective fans.

And I didn't like Shadow of the Colossus.

...I wasn't trying to start a flame war OR change someone's opinion. o,0 "I just want people to share their opinions." I gave my opinion. Which just so happens to be a reply to another's opinion. My apologies, sir. I'll keep in mind next time that it's forbidden to share your opinion in such a manner.

I'm suprised you understood so completely lol, i was indeed talking about MMO players. But it's also the elitism that PC gamers seem to exhibit, even when they are vastly outplayed by me, a console player ;o)

I used to be a PC gamer but found that i'm not quite far enough up my own arse to mingle with the crowd ;o)
