I have played every Final Fantasy..... cept for 7

Tunaphish6:
I've played Kingdoms Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite games.

Same here. In the lead-up to #2, I scoured the internet every day for information on new characters and Disney franchises that were going to appear, similar to what I do with Super Smash Bros. Brawl now. I finished the game on Hard mode when I got it, enjoyed it, and have never played it again to this day.

My brother and his friends got into World of Warcraft, so I did too. I introduced my friends to it, and their unsettling obsession with it led me to quit. I had played it for what must be hundreds of hours. They still play and discuss it, and that still irritates me.

I am deathly afraid of being considered a nerd, despite playing video games on my own free will.

I never played through Ocarina of Time in its entirety. I tried to on an emulator but was quickly bored. Meanwhile, I played through Twilight Princess on the Wii and loved it. I recently borrowed Wind Waker from a friend and disliked it.

Speaking of emulators, I have used them to play through the Sega Genesis Sonic games and Super Mario 64 in their entirety. I loved them.

I have never been irked by graphics in a video game.

I want to be a big budget film maker when I grow up. If this happens, I want to use the industry respect I'd gain to collaborate with Sega to make a Sonic 3D game. It would be called Sonic Legend and revolutionise action games, whilst reviving the franchise. I constantly have the concept running around in my head.

My DS has a problem involving the game Elite Beat Agents. Whenever the spin wheel pops up and I spin it, it shuts the game off. I'm still trying to get it fixed, but the experience has made me deathly afraid of playing the final song on Divas mode. I let my brother do it.

I currently have an obsession with adventure games like those from LucasArts. I have bought both Curse of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. I'm playing the latter at the moment and loving it. I'm also obsessed with "original and understated" games like Psychonauts, and I think I have Zero Punctuation to thank for that.

In the games room of a hotel I was staying at during a holiday, I wrestled a PlayStation Controller from a little kid to play the console. I proceeded to play such quality games such as Tom & Jerry In House Trap and Digimon Rumble Arena, while my siblings played pool.

My high school has had obsessions with playing LAN matches of Counter-Strike and the Halo Trial Version on the computers. I joined in the latter.

I think that'll do for now.

JUST REMEMBERED: I have tried playing through Final Fantasy VIII twice, and always given up at the final battle of Disc 3. I hate the Junction System.

I finally broke down and bought Half Life 2 several months ago, and hated every single minute of it. If it weren't for my OCD-like perfectionism I would never have finished the damn game. The only reason I didn't immediately throw the damn disc in the microwave shortly after completing it, was the part where the gravity gun is actually good. It takes every ounce of determination not to punch the next person that simply can't stop talking about it. (I still regret every hour I played that game. Damn you OCD-like symptoms, damn you!)

I thought that the Halo franchise was the best thing since sliced bread and that it was a Godsend until I played BioShock. BioShock slapped me in the face and made me see what a real plot was. Don't get me wrong, I still consider the Halo games in my Top Ten Best Games.

I still have yet to play a single Zelda game, and probably won't.

Same could be said about Final Fantasy. I think it looks stupid, stop bothering me about it already.

After a day of knowing what Pokemon was, which was in 4th grade I believe, (I'm a Junior now) I could name every single one.

Even though I play on Xbox Live, I still know what grammar is and I have a full comprehension of the English language. Scary isn't it? (Not really embarrassing, but true.)

I actually played Dead Rising for the plot and wondered why people kept talking about sandboxes in it.

I still consider Battlefield 2: Modern Combat to have the best online experience of any game, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 put into that category, it was simply brilliant the way it was done and wish that they'd make another Battlefield: Modern Combat game. (I loved sniping)

I still have yet to play Psychonauts...

I've not once been turned on by a single female in any game. (I'm straight.) I just happen to prefer the real thing.

My girlfriend finds my nerd-y-ness sexy. (Not embarrassing, but true.)

I got an account on the Escapist just so that I could post onto this thread. Why would I want to put forth embarrassing information for random strangers like this?

- I think that when "Aria di Mezzo Carattere" is played with a full orchestra complete with the correct vocal talent in Italian, it becomes at the very least, a moving, legitimate, if short, Opera; even though it was written by Nobuo Uematsu for Final Fantasy VI.(Who says that Music meant for video games can't have academic credit when they deserve such)

- I've only beaten two final fantasy games, IV and VI, despite owning two more and playing four more before selling them, I gave up on FFVII right after the second disk started, but I've beaten Chrono Cross four times.

- I think I've beaten Fallout II more than 11 times with different character builds

- I beat the Columbian Missions in Hitman: Codename 47 with only a knife on the hardest difficulty setting, and that's sad.

- I still play Diablo I single player.

- I never beat MGS 1, I played until the dogs, and turned it off after I had to use a clip and a half to take down ONE dog, never looked back and I've never played another MGS game again.

- I own entirely too many video games......84 on Steam alone! 51 game boxes stacked neatly on my desk and many more elsewhere not including the console games.

- One of my favorite games of all time is Pipe Dream

-I own X-com enforcer and infrequently still get the irresistible urge to play the whole game and uninstall it again. (To counter this I also own every other X-com game and play those more frequently)

- I played Ocarina of Time briefly(30 minutes) and was in possession of a class-mates copy of said game for four and a half years but never touched it again.

- Always found the story of Halo more intriguing than the game play, I don't own an Xbox: anything though.

I hate halo, mediocre fps that the console gamers think is the best fps ever made, idiots!
I have also stuck a dual shock pad down my pants whilst it was vibrating and was dissapointed.
I only signed up to the website to reply to this thread.
I bought a gamecube just for Windwaker and got bored of waiting for it to come out, so I sold it, then bought another one when it came out, completed it, sold it again and now I need to get another one for TP :(
I really enjoyed the singleplayer in COD4, the ending was sublime, multiplayer is even better.
I have played and completed Half-Life more times than i care to remember.
I loved Bioshock.
And lastly, Your mum left her bra at my house, although come to think of it, it could be your sisters, i'm not sure!

I still love to play super mario 64 and goldeneye, although now its with an emulator.
when I first got Deus Ex (and young and stupid) I played the first level for 5 minites, eat somthing and forgot about it for a month thinking it wasent worth playing (that last one was hard to say, only one other person knew that and i got ripped into for it by him ever since.)

i consider myself a serious strategy/rpg gamer, although i dont remember if i ever finished more than five of those games

played dreamfall only for underwear scenes

tron is the scariest movie of all time for me, seriously

I don't know the Konami Code.

I got addicted to quake3 and just played all night until 10 in the morning, but never on day time cause the competition was(is?) nonexistant and I badly needed the sleep. my ISDN bills was in the vicinity of crazyness.

I played EVE online and was handed 100 mil isk by a corrupt GM,dev, although I found the game lacking....

I never regret that I quit WoW but I miss raiding.

Only game I ever finished on the hardest level in one sitting was crysis on DELTA.

I was too scared to play through FEAR...

I have never played or touched anything remotely connected to the Final Fantasy series.

I bought Fallout 2 and played for an hour. The disk hasn't been touched for 6 months now.

I have no idea what Final Fantasy is, what it's about, or how you play it. Apparently it's some sort of JRPG.
I have never owned a Half-Life game, and once my mate bought HL2 I got so bored watching him play it that I decided to spoil the ending for him (Thankyou Lord for your wonderful and divine creation Wikipedia).
I have heard people on the telly praising Halo "to revolutionize gaming forever" but I have yet to hear why it has revolutionized gaming forever.
I once cried on Xbox Live while playing Halo 2 when I was twelve because STUPID MEAN YANKS KEPT CALLING ME NAMES BECAUSE OF MY BRITISH ACCENT...
I reckon that Star Wars: Republic Commando for the Xbox has one of the best A.I. in a game I have ever played.

I belive that Zelda: OoT is a saga and should be compulsuary to play in school, simply to learn about The Great Hero Link, and his Heroic Quest™ to save Zelda and Hyrule from the evil clutches of Ganandorf, the king of thieves. Yeah, I love that game that much. I worship it.

I think Epona is the best teammate ever to be featured in a game.
I have never even heard of the Konami Code.
I have never played a MGS title.
I have never played a Resi Evil title.
I think GoldenEye is one of the most scariest games ever made.
I prefer Super Mario Sunshine over Super Mario 64, despite what you all say.

And Grand Finale,

I was the only one to accept an offer from EB Games, in which I turned in an Xbox, fifteen games and 500 SEK in order to buy a PSP.

Well, you wouldn't have.

I don't like Metroid. Any of them. I've tried. Oh, Vishnu, how I've tried. But I can't stand those games.

I played Over-G Fighters, got the full 1000 points............and I enjoyed it.

I feel dirty!!

-I never played World of Warcraft, and I never will.
-I play old games more often than I play the new ones.
-I play games better when I'm dunk (usually not RTS games though).
-I have a personal vendetta against MMORPGs, I don't like paying for a game more than once.
-I'm more of a single player game fan.
-I love PC Gaming, but I stink with computers.
-I'm a die-hard Westwood Studios fan, but have never played a Petroglyph game (although I own Universe at War).
-I think Halo is the most overrated franchise ever created, yet I still played it.
-I love Quake 4, and played it 3 times within a month.
-I recently purchased Hellgate: London.... and have since began playing Diablo 2 again, instead.
-I thought the Half Life 2 story was utter garbage.
-I'm a super FPS fan... yet I suck at binding my keys, and am slow at reacting
-I'm afraid to play Crysis (See above point)
-If I plan on replaying a sequel to any game franchise, I feel I have to play the previous games first, in proper order.
-I named my computer CABAL
-Kane Lives!

I'm scared of survival horror games (I'm 19).
I don't like hard games.
I LOVE RPG's, but I HATE Oblivion.
I strongly dislike FPS's.
In The Sims, I would make households based on the girls I had crushes on.
I have never beaten a game by Blizzard.
I haven't played WoW, but I want to.

I once got caught playing CS:S on my laptop at work using a wireless connection.

I love the Legacy of Kain series mostly because Kain doesn't give me the gay vibe. That and he is a fucking god among game characters.

I am a pathetic Koei Fan since Dynasty Warriors 3 and actually like the plot.

I think Oda Nobunaga in the Samurai Warriors series is fucking cool.

I have an annoying phobia of zombies but I love making levels on Timesplitters: Future Perfect so I can de-animate them with extreme prejudice. Even to the point of having way too much practice with headshots on that game. Like decaping with 38 revolver with no problem.

I have killed over 100k enemies on my Timesplitters save.

I once had over 1k hours on Vagrant story before I was robbed. They took the PS2, but I lamented losing the memory card with that save.

The constant supply of deadites on Evil Dead: Fist Full of Boomstick weirds me out.

In tying with my zombie phobia, I got rid of Dead Rising because the tiny text was going to distract me too much while I was basically going to play one of my nightmares.

I had Legend of Zelda for NES down to a science and could have all the hearts and secrets with the game beaten in thirty minutes from the word Go. However, I couldn't ever figure out how to get into the fucking castle level 8 on the second game.

I only played the SNES Legend of Zelda in passing and have no interest in any of the other games.

I haven't played Okami because I can't wrap my mind around killing things with a paintbrush.

I actually liked Marvel Nemesis because I could toss that prick Daredevil off buildings because he is a fucking lawyer.

I actually thought up backstories for my Def Jam: Fight for New York characters.

During a crappy week of working at Burger King, God of War's Pandora Box treadmill of Doom room was the final straw needed to cause an outburst from me that broke a bone in my hand. I still beat the game with a broken hand and went to work for two days without treating the break before I was dragged reluctantly to a hospital.

I made saves right before the sex games in Both God of War games so I could hear women get off. Fortunately my fiancee' likes the noises too.

The Painkiller skit from Yahtzee's review of The Witcher went over my head for 15 minutes because I didn't realize that Painkiller was an actual game. I thought that somebody has pussified Kain so I went looking for a new Legacy of Kain game. Mind you, I got the jokes and laughed my ass off, but I didn't realize there was a game called Painkiller before I checked the review thread and felt like a fucking moron.

The unbalance between monsters and humanoids in Disgaea and Disgaea 2 actually bothers me outside of the game. If you don't know what I am talking about, humanoids get weapon skills and thus boost their stats by using a certain weapon. Monsters don't get such a skill and can get Easily left behind if you put reasonable effort into your humanoids. Don't even get me started on tower stacking for felonies...

I was pissed that I couldn't unlock Demon Hulk as a skin in the Hulk Ultimate Destruction game.

I find Final Fantasy games to be pretentious annoyances except for Tactics because they gave me options to make my own party and have monsters.

Also, as a person who pretends to be a writer, I hate I mean HATE the fact that there are over 12 games called FINAL Fantasy. Final means end and it bothers the shit out of me that it just keeps going.

I have a save in Conan just so I can kill pirates at my pathetic leisure.

GTA: San Andreas helped keep my sanity when I worked at Burger King because I would constantly shoot up fast food places and execute customers (Sometimes creepily violent) in the game.

My son has made me watch so much Inuyasha that I think it would be sweet to play as Sesshoumaru in a Dynasty Warriors like game and kick tons of ass.

I came up with a nasty strength poison on Oblivion just to torture guards.

I constantly torture the vampire noble in Oblivion because I haven't done the last quest for him so he can't die. I just barge into his room and nuke him for a couple hours for cheap laughs.

I chase beggars in Oblivion and cast Fear on them constantly to see them run.

I felt bad for the Orc Chic Knight in Oblivion when I realized that she got herself killed in the big Maurader/Black Bow Bandit cave after calling me her friend for helping her.

There is plenty more but I feel I have stabbed myself enough for now. :D

i owned and beat the pokemon snapshot game for the 64, and by beat i got all the extra optional secrets.

i've played both dead or alive volleyball games, and i actually enjoyed the rumble roses games, actually the gameplay was alotta fun.

I genuinely enjoyed Fire Warrior the first time through.

I was so scared during the first level of Timesplitters 2 on Normal mode I was sweating.

My computer explodes when I try to run anything faster than Pac-Man.

The only MMORPG I've ever played is RUNESCAPE and I really LIKE IT. I know that it pales in comparison to WoW or Everquest, but it introduces people to the genre. People I don't peg as gamers have talked about it at school.

I have no zarking idea how to sign up for Xbox Live. I swear, it looks impossible from where I'm standing. I really need help with this.

SaneIntolerant:

15.) I believe that Call of Duty 4 is getting too realistic for me. I've gotten to the point where I feel bad for the AI enemies I have killed, and frequently ponder if they had a family back home.

Whenever a game has a good/evil plot fork, I always feel guilty doing the evil stuff, don't do it properly, and then end up still going down the good path even though I was only doing evil things to see what happens down the evil path. I feel bad about killing peasants, even though they don't even have personalities half the time.

Oh, and whenever I play a Myst game, I always think 'I will not go to the hint site' and hold out for about half an hour before going 'I'll never work this out! I need the hint site!'

I got from normal-->expert on guitar hero just by playing at a friends house.

I played Sonic R many times when I was like, 5 years old. Thank GOD it didn't had the music turned on.

I think the only "true" genres are FPS, RTS, Puzzle and Casual.

What about platformers and RPGs?

Ninja Gaiden wasn't a puzzle, and certainly wasn't casual.

NOTE: I'm talking about NES Ninja Gaiden, but the other will arguably fit as well.

Oh I forgot to add that I bought Star Wars Battlefront 2 just so I could force choke Ewoks...

I faked an illness, so I could miss a day of grade school, and spent that day downloading and playing the heck out of the Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 demo.

While playing Mario Kart split-screen, I'll look at my opponents' screens.

I claim to be a fan of stories in games, but I've never played any of these plot driven games: Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, the Metal Gear series, or the Final Fantasy series.

I loved Halo's Library level.(I may be a sick man)

While playing Rainbow Six Vegas my clan got so incredibly bored that we decided not to fight the enemy team. All we did was chase the other team and make the corpsehump motion up against them while they shot at us. After the game ended the other team was dead silent and we were laughing our asses off.

I recite the Sonic The Hedgehog (Up, down, left, right, A, Start) level select to send me to sleep. I also dont like half-life.... >_>

Well it looks like there's plenty of confessions but... why not.

I snipe, but I hate snipers. I think that at least when I do it, I stop after a while and go running into the enemy territory suiside style(the scary thing is that some times that works too).
on a similar note, there are Japanese cartoons(Anime) and comic books(manga's) that I like but I hate westerners that like Anime's and manga's. Maybe it's because I'm from Japan.

I hate Halo
I've tried to be as open minded as I can be about the game, but every time a give it a shot I come to the same conclusion that it is defenatly overrated. Maybe I wouldn't hate it so much if someone explained to me why it's popular like they would explane it to a 5 year old, but I don't think I will ever be able to stand playing it longer than an hour a month.
Sorry Halo fans, by the way.

I also can't stand MMORPG's. I gave them many chances to impress me, but I never understood why they are fun to people. I don't hate them, I just can't play them, kind of.

I play Amarican FPS's and Japanese RPG's and I like them both, but honestly overall, I think Japanese video games are generally much better than western games.
I abosolutly love all the Tri-Ace games I've played, especially the first Valkyrie Profile.

I also think we can stop making WWI and WWII games. Although I tend to like the futureistic FPS's anyway so...yea.

The big one for me is this: I hate the Xbox 360. I don't even have a logical reason why. I just never liked the Xbox from the second I saw it.

I'm a collector of shiny limited ed tins.
I bought Crysis because the tin looked cool, i have still to play it
I hate horror games and have never seen one through to the end without a pillow in-front of my face, the only reason my profle has logged that i completed bio-shock was due to my little brother playing it :(

I bought a PS3 over a 360 and have yet to regret it.

When I was younger, I played fishing games on my GBA. All. The. Time. And LOVED it.

I regularly play the Sims 2

Have never played a MMORPG.

I liked Fable, and Super Mario Sunshine.

Never got past the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time (I was, however, eight).

i played a pokemon game for 300 hours......before it reset >_<

I beat Halo 1 34 times.

I beat Half Life 1 13 times.

I beat Fallout 11 times

I beat Bratz: The game 52 times

J/k on the last one.
