Your Gaming Capital Sins

[midshipman01]

I found Half Life 2 too be boring. The only thing I can remember standing out from that game is Ravenholm. The rest I found shit. Maybe it's cause I played it too late and missed the hype, maybe I'm just oblivious to it's charms, I dunno.

Funny, I liked pretty much everything but Ravenholm.

 

[World's End]

I don't think AC Brotherhood is the series' high point, but rather AC2. Probably just because I was really disappointed with Brotherhood.

 

[Torrasque]

I don't see how these are capital sins, they are just opinions that the majority does not have.
Odds are pretty damn good that you're going to find someone on the internets that doesn't agree with something you say/think.

Buy I guess my "sins" would be:
I enjoy MW2 multiplayer, but I enjoy the campaign more. The campaign in MW2 was better than MW.
I think no RTS-RPG game can top Ogre Battle 64 in every way, and that the Fire Emblem series is the best strategy game series out there.
My order of Halo games: Halo Reach > Halo: Combat Evolved > ODST > Halo 3 > Halo Wars > Halo 2
I think GoW3 multiplayer fucking sucks, and has horrible balancing issues.
Because of how they are designed, every Pokemon sequel is better than the previous one, period.
I still think Nintendo is better than Microsoft and Sony, as far as gaming is concerned.
There are serious games for the Wii, and they are fucking awesome.
Last one: Final Fantasy stopped being good after IX

I think that FFVII is one of the worst games in the series.

FFVIII is one of my two favorite games of all time. (The second being Rogue Galaxy. Which reminds me, I hated the Dark Cloud games with a passion.)

There are only three things I like in FFX (everything else I hated). In no particular order they are Auron, his theme, and blitzball.

I adore the pants off of FFX-2.

I love AC2, Ezio is one of my favorite characters in video games. That being said, I returned Brotherhood to Blockbuster about an hour or so into the game. I bloody hated it.

I think the first Halo is merely sub-par, didn't like 2, and refuse to play any of the other games in the series.

I can't stand God of War or the Prince of Persia games. (Yet I loved the movie)

I don't like MMORPG's with pretty graphics. Something in my mind just won't accept them. I expect my mmo's to be ugly by modern standards.

I didn't find Human Revolution interesting enough to be bothered to finish it.

I returned Dead Island to GameFly about an hour into Act 2. I don't regret it.

I would be perfectly happy if they never made a zombie game, movie, book or whatever ever again. Unless it started with the title Resident Evil, and was an actual survival horror game. (On that note, I think that Resident Evil 4 was an embarrassment and should have the Resident Evil stripped from it's title.)

The most fun I have ever had playing a game online was with 007 Rogue Agent on the XBOX.

I think Deus Ex: Invisible War was a fantastic game.

I claim to hate stealth games, yet can't get enough of Splinter Cell or Hitman.

As a side note, I disagree with Yahtzee, it isn't a jet pack that could make every game better. It is a grappling hook. (Evidence can be found in the new Bionic Commando and in Just Cause 2).

I liked Too Human.

I didn't like minecraft.

I like regenerative health.

I thought Demon's Souls wasn't challenging.

I believe that I should be able to play a multiplayer FPS however I want to extent that the game will permit me and if you don't have a strategy to counter my "cheap and immoral" strategies, that is your problem.

 

[kurokenshi]

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

This one has piqued my curiosity. May I ask why?

MMOs and Elitist attitudes...There are far too many reasons for me to detail them all but those 2 are high up on the list. I love being talked down to by people who will pay for a game and then pay to play it aswell...

Look it's that word(Elitist) again!

What exactly makes PC Gamers 'Elitist' in your opinion?

OT: My gaming sin is not liking Consoles!

 

[Vibhor]

2) I liked Deus Ex: Invisible War (Again, I didn't judge it by its predecessor, but rather as a shooter on its own merits.)

That is the right way to judge games

No it isn't if the game is a sequel which invisible wars was.

As for mine,
I found chrono cross to be much better and deserving of fame than Final fantasy 7.

My main problem with final fantasy 7 was that it was not linear enough. I absolutely loved the whole midgar section but as soon as the game hits disk 2, it loses focus and is all over the place.

I have never in my life completed a bioware RPG.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

I really, really hate Uncharted. But I don't see it as a sin. I see it as an opinion and a right one at that. Though of course others will disagree. Opinions, funny old things aren't they?

A right opinion? As though opinions can be distinguished between right and wrong?

Anywho, I have never liked the Final Fantasy series. Just not my tastes, I suppose.

I was being facetious. I made the same point as you in my post.

 

[Vhite]

Raging, only in case of imbalance.

 

[Mestraal]

I thought that Majora's Mask was better than Ocarina of Time.

Very much this.

I also believed Bioshock 2 was a genuinely good game. Especially after reading 'Rapture' which added some context to it all.

 

[Plinglebob]

I really hate the "Games are Art" argument. While I think they should be defined as art in a legal sense, as they currently stand the vast majority (99%+) has the same artistic merit as Porn. Not that this is a bad thing (big fan of both), but hearing people trying to argue that games are conveying deeper messages instead of simply providing entertainment and simulation to allow us to act out our baser instincts (yunno, like porn) is painful.

But the thing is, not all games have to play to our base instincts, just like not all movies have explosions, bare breasts, and car jumps. And even if a movie has explosions, bare breasts, and car jumps, that doesn't preclude it from having a deeper meaning. The same applies to video games and all other mediums of art. But yes, most games are just playing to base instincts.

 

[SamuelT]

I never completed FF7 and liked FF9 better.

Same here mate. Never even played FF7. Looked up an LP of it though.

Apart from that, I guess really loving Invisible War is concidered a sin, seeing as it's wished away every time the original Deus Ex comes up.

 

[Kotaro]

Ico. For all that I love that game to death and gush about it uncontrollably, I've never actually finished it.
I also liked Final Fantasy VI, IX, and even V far more than VII.

 

[AlthorEnchantor]

I like Legend of Mana much better than Secret of Mana. I also hate Final Fantasy IX with a fiery burning passion. Yeah, nine. The one no one feels THAT strongly about.

 

[Lev The Red]

i could never play Oblivion or any Mass Effect game. i don't really know why. i LOVE games like Fallout and Borderlands, and pretty much every other game that's one big fetchquest (go to point A, to be told that you have to go to point B to get object 1 so that you can flip switch #3 at point C). i'v always loved games like that, but i could never really enjoy Mass Effect or Oblivion. i'v tried a bunch of times, but i always get bored about 30 minutes into it and give up.

 

[Lev The Red]

oh, i also think Ocarina of Time is overrated, and that A Link To The Past is hands-down the best LoZ game. *braces for flamewar*

 

[Landis963]

In Mass Effect, even though I played a guy, I kept Kaidan alive. I really don't get the hate he gets, esp. since the alternative is Ashley, who strikes me as slightly annoying in the same way that Kaidan is slightly bland. Besides, I always send Kaidan to deal with the bomb, and there's really no reason for any Shepard not to ensure that the bomb goes off.

 

[Valdus]

I don't like Mass Effect despite liking RPG's...
