I've played Sonic once, and I've hated it. Marble Zone's theme has since been burned into my mind, however.

I cheat through JRPGs because I hate grinding. I will use codes to set my level to 99 at the start of the game, unlock all spells/abilities, and essentially make my party as strong as they could possibly be if I were to grind for years without cheating.

I've only recently played DOOM for the first time through the DOOM thread here. (I have however played the hell out of Quake 1-3 and Hexan)

Despite being one my favorite games, I've never beaten Mother Brain in Super Metroid. I have gotten to Turian at least a dozen times and have either lost my save (3 times on the original SNES), had a glitch (ZSNES), or just got bored and didn't finish. I have beaten every other 2D Metroid except for Metroid II.

Same as above, I've never finished Ogre Battle 64 on my own. I've only seen the bad end that a buddy got. Why can't I finish some of my favorite games?

I didn't really like Super Mario 64 and never made it past Deep Deep Docks.

I'm trying to improve, Father Vidya, but it's hard these days. Should I do two SMB3 playthroughs and a Contra again?

I agree.

I can't get into Zelda except for A Link to the Past. I don't even know why. The other games are okay and I can respect them for what they were at their designated times but I don't know man.

The only Atari 2600 game I can stand to play is Adventure. I want to like more games for it but it was before my time and I guess it's just too simple for me. Still respect it for it's time it must have been the shit.

I hate the X series and prefer the original Megaman games. 2 is my favorite, then 1, then 3, and the rest are pretty bad imo.

I love the hell out of Super Castlevania IV, but I like Bloodlines more. SotN is one of my favorite games of all time.

I never liked Mario Kart 64 in the slightest. Played it with my cousins because they wanted to but the driving just feels so shit and I realize it's more of a party racer but damn if it just felt weird on the handling. Oh and fuck me when I was doing good for 2 laps and someone uses lightning on the 3rd to run me over and put me effective in last. Idk maybe I'm just too serious about racing.

[Anonymous No.1189019]

>>1188991
I agree on Castlevania and Megaman[/spoiler. Some things just need to learn when to stop,

I have played Custer's Revenge on an actual Atari. My dad owned it. It vanished with his death.

Speaking of adult games, when I was a teen dad took me to the computer and said "This folder is the regular games. This folder is the ADULT games. You can play both, just don't tell the other kids or bring them over to see. I don't care what you do after ward, just do it in your room not here." My first H-Game? Nocturnal Illusion.

I grew up on MUCKs and MUDs. I now hate them with venom! Fucking mary sues and bad writing everywhere.

I love music games. Brutal Legend, Beatmania, and Power Gig deserve more love than they get. yes I know Power Gig is flawed, but it's not as horrible as everyone says.

I hate any game with regenerating health except for Nethack. This is because all of them except nethack are BORING. Halo fans who claim they're special for beating the game on Legendary are pathetic.

[Anonymous No.1189061]

I busted up the CD case of Dreamweb mishandling it.

I love single player shooter campaigns, budge, high production, and anything in between. I miss the flow of shooters from the early 2000s. Even the $20 budge shooters made for a weekend of fun.

I buy fighting games even though I barely play them; I don't have friends to play with and going online just gets me curb stomped. The same goes for SRPGs; I usually toss them if they get stupidly grindy.

I wasn't above using cheat codes when I couldn't beat a game.

I won't play early 3d games with infinite monster spawning (see Perfect Weapon).

I think Zelda 2 is better than Zelda 1.

I personally don't care for the Genesis/MegaDrive Sonic games. I only have carts for 1, 2, 3, S&K, and 3D Blast because they're really cheap. Speaking of 3D Blast, it isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Ranger X was the game that made me want a Genesis.

I like Fallout 2 better than 1 because of all the added things you can do in the game. It's just more fun gameplay wise. I will concede that Fallout 1 has a much better plot and story focus. Fallout: New Vegas is a worthy sequel to Fallout 2

I've never beaten Death in Castlevania 1.

I like all 6 of the NES Mega Man games, Mega Man 7, and Mega Man and Bass. I don't care for Mega Man 8, 9, or 10.

90% of my Amiga disks I got from a guy who pirated games back in the early 90's. I even have one drawer of a filing cabinet filled with printed out scans of instruction manuals, maps, etc.

Nah, SMT games outright smack the shit out of you if you try to grind in them. Most people who complain about their difficulty fall into the "I'm grinding but enemies are still kicking the shit out of me!" category. If you learn the game mechanics you won't grind at at all and the games will actually be quite a bit easier than many people make them out to be. They are, however, still pretty damn long.

I only passed Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64 from all of the single player mario games.

For some reason, the atmosphere in Body Harvest creeped me the fuck out. Walking around in the empty houses always had me on edge.

I used to read the choices in Elder Scrolls Arena in a medieval voice out loud. At one point, At school, when it was my turn to read a paragraph I did the same thing. One time I asked a girl, "Why don't you travel Tamriel with me?". She said I was weird and for the longest while I never understood why my cool medieval voice didn't grow on my friends.

I was short $20 from affording the Dreamcast I asked my parents to sit on the sofa and I got on my knees and begged them to give me the $20. They said no and told me to wait until my next allowance. that was the toughest week.

>early 3d platformers are terrible, they barely have any proper platforming

The last part is true, but you're bashing the lack of a mechanic becuase the general consensus says that "3D platformers" are "platformers". Mario, Banjo, Spyro and such play more like action/adventure games with tons of collectables. They were never meant to be real platformers.

So, despite the fact that most people relate them with the platformer genre, there are nothing wrong with them.

[Anonymous No.1192360]

I love the N64 pad.

Growing up with a Genesis/PSX I always thought the N64 pad was a joke. I was like "why does that controller have three handles? I only have two hands!", but it's REALLY, REALLY comfortable especially for 3D platformers.

Hell, the dpad is top shelf too. Perfect for Robotron and Mischief Makers. I can't use Robotron style controls on the SNES (like in Super Smash TV) without my right hand hurting after five minutes, but I can go all day on the N64 playing Robotron 64 using the C buttons to shoot.
