RE: Favourite video game franchises/genres
Shit, I'm missing out on lots of games.
I only have got 13 video games on the PS3.

I like Tomb Raider and GTA

RE: Favourite video game franchises/genres
Halo 1 came out when I was graduating high school. It was the first time any of us ever system linked. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for that series because of this. Also because I was better than everyone else in NE Ohio....except for D2A. Blast you D2A!!!!

Now I play a lot of Terraria and Rayman with my daughter. Love those games.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'm not much into gaming -- but I still play Total Annihilation, a real-time strategy game, and Red Baron II 3-D a WWI flight simulator. Occasionally play a couple of other flight sims I have, as well.

Not 3 as well?

I've played MOST of 3.

Just didn't like it all that much.

RE: Favourite video game franchises/genres
I only play one game consistently, Street Fighter 4. Scrubs need not apply, don't pick it up if you aint got the gaming aptitude.

I generally give most games a go, but unless there is competitive multiplayer I get bored...... generally blitzing everything once then moving on. If it's good I'll return maybe in a few years and blitz it again. FPS multiplayer lost me after modern warfare, played up until black ops 2 though in the naïve assumption it would get better. Rocked a pretty high KD as well in all of em.

Replayed so far, Mass Effect series, Final Fantasy 7/9, Elder Scrolls, tried arkham asylum - don't think it aged well, couldn't finish it again. Few others I'm probably forgetting.

I'm about to finish Shadow of Mordor, bit repetitive. Arkham Asylum with LOTR lore essentially. Might go and finish it now seeing as I aint sleeping.

But my all time favourite, battle for middle earth 2........... EA shut down the servers a few years back. That game was the best. RTS medieval units with LOTR lore injected. All units were race specific and every race was fantastically unbalanced to the point were it was balanced.

Honourable mention; Star Wars Battlefront.

A year or so ago I would have said Mass Effect, and I still love Mass Effect like crazy, but having played Dark Souls 2 now, I have to say that any series that can have a game literally be a knock-off version of an earlier game and still be brilliant is clearly doing something right. I can't justify not calling that my favorite now.

Other than that, I've been a Nintendo fan since I was a kid, so I have an enormous soft spot for Super Smash Brothers. That shit is like concentrated nostalgia for me, with the added benefit of just being a lot of fun to pick up and play. I'm loving the new one, right now.
I never got to play the original, can't find it anywhere for the Xbox and my laptop cant run it........... even though I can run the sequel.

And my god, the stupid phantom hitboxes and/or bad character models is enough to drive anyone insane.
And the stun locking, oh the stun locking. I realise I'm almost troll baiting here. But.

That game was bad, it wasn't hard, it was just bad. So so bad.
The difficulty, it was famed for, was artificial like civ 5's difficulty.

It gave you a one on one duelling system to fight hordes of enemies, that included with the aforementioned is the only reason it was remotely challenging. That game really disappointed me.

The game is now free with gold on the Xbox. That's how I first got into the series.

For as much as I like the games, I will admit that the challenge in the sequel often felt cheap compared to the original. Also, they destroyed the poise mechanic (which worked to prevent stunlocking in the first game) for reasons unknown. Personally, I don't think it was a disaster, but they did take steps in the wrong direction in some areas.

Oh boy. I like these threads. Seems we do one about every two or three months.

Top 5 games/franchises of all time:
5. Portal 1/2 - Infinite replay value, logic/puzzle games with a funny storyline
4. Gran Turismo - Real Driving Simulator + Momo steering controller = excellence.
3. Grand Theft Auto - I have to be careful with these games. I'm OCD and need to get 100% completion. All the collectibles, side missions, etc.
2. Assassin's Creed - Played all of them, loved all of them.
1. Metal Gear Solid - Been playing since Famicom, sneaking epics are AWESOME.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Your saying I can turn on my xbox and download darksouls 1 now ?

Is it on games for gold or WAS it on games for gold ?
