Games you wished you liked.

Games you wished you liked.
There's games out there that if they were human I think you would probably say they're privileged, they have all the looks, the popularity and come from a great family of games but for some reason I can't bring myself to like them even though I wished I did.

This is my list.

1) Minecraft.  I don't get it, quite frankly I don't want to get it.  The only people who have tried to talk me into getting it are hipsters who are trying to be proud geeks which has just put me off the game even more.  I like sandbox type games like civilization, themepark and constructor but I've just been very picky with them.

2)All command and conquers after yuris revenge  In theory I should like them, I've liked every command and conquer up to and including yuris revenge, AND I do think they got better and better up to yuris revenge.  The only thing I think it might be is the new graphics, I don't think I can get used to this big bulky details style of graphics, and the over the top fireworks display which comes with firing the weapons, I liked the subtlety of the early games.  
The earlier games felt like they were designed by people who actually wanted to play the games after they made them, the newer ones felt like they were made by people who wanted to make money by trying to predict what kids would find cool, hence all the lasers and such graphic detail on things blowing up.

3)  Final fantasy.
RPGs tend to take up a lot of time and effort, and even after you put all that time and effort in you know you'll be able to look on youtube and find an 8 year old korean kid has done a walkthru vid playing the whole thing through faster and better than you anyway.
So I'm also a bit picky about which RPG's I choose to buy, and I love the look of final fantasy but I never bought it for some reason.  I liked wild arms if anyone remembers that game, I LOVED baldurs gate and completed both of them and the expansion packs several times.
But if anyone wants to try and talk me into buying the new final fantasy for the ps4 feel free, I might just do it.

4) All civilizations except CIV call to power. 
For some reason I don't like any civilization game except call to power, I like the fact it doesn't make a difference what civilization you pick, I like the way the graphics are laid out so everything looks small and I can see over a wide area, I tried playing a modern version of the game and I hated it.

These are the only ones I have time to put down for now.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
