I have beaten only a few Megaman games and it wasn't fair and square. Except for MegaMan 2 for the gameboy.

Also, I love using GameGenies and Gamesharks for old school RPG's because I find them tedious.

Though I have beaten a small set of games fair and square. Though sometimes I've used strategy guides for Banjo Kazooie for example, but it was a challenge even with the guide.

I hate contemporary nitendofans so god damn much becasue they are tainting my sweet memories of when Nintendo used to be good with their assynesss.

Also, N64 was the biggest disappointment ever and a really shitty console. Nobody was jealous because you got stuck with one of those things. Stop fucking defending it.

Never played final fantasy, mega man, Kirby, tomb raider or metal gear solid.

Have started playing FF7, keen to try megaman. Apart from that, no fucks given.

Also bought KI Gold for N64 and haven't played it once, not ready to be disappointed by the version inferior to the snes classic.

Played 64 smash bros, wasn't my thing. Only Pokemon game I've played is snap. Had a GB and GBA, just never appealed.

Majoras mask sucks balls. Limited time is a painful gimmick, to me Zelda is about free exploration.

You could probably get away with bringing it up in an emulation thread or a GB/C thread. GBA has a lot of retro games on it in general, mostly from the SNES. It was basically like the SupaBoy before SupaBoy existed.

There's also a clone coming that plays NES/FC, SNES/SFC, Gen/MD, and GBA carts, so you may want to stick around.

Dragon Quest is the most boring and blandest RPG I have ever played in my whole life.

That's a big thing about the time limit, it only services the story and the rest of the game isn't even designed around it. Like in Pandora's Tower, the game is designed around going into the dungeons in short bursts but in MM it just kills all exploration for me and if you take your time doing things, you risk losing progress. That's not even going into the sidequests that add such riveting gameplay as stand around and wait for x to show up.

I don't think I've ever heard anything quite so untrue before.
The meat of the game is the characters, sidequests, and atmosphere, and all of those things are entirely intertwined with the 3 day cycle.

How is it untrue though? The time limit wasn't put in because they thought it would add something super significant to the gameplay, it was added to go along with the story. The very fact that if someone is having trouble in a dungeon and the time runs out, the game requires them to redo things. That's not because the game is hard, its because the majority of the game isn't designed around the time limit. The only people that support the time limit are those that like it because it adds to the story.

This is what I don't like. People say OoT is Overrated so much its almost underrated. The game completely revolutionized 3d action games with the lock-on mechanic, I don't think the game is overrated.

I wouldn't call everything from A Link to the Past up to the Oracle "far too easy" when you first play them, and I don't agree that The Minish Cap needs raw difficulty to be good. Nevertheless, aside from that room with 3 Darknuts and the last two forms of Vaati, it is in fact a lot easier than most other Zelda games.

This is one of the major problems with pinning down something as being "too easy".

Seriously though, Link to the Past is medium at best.

I still don't fully understand what could possess Nintendo to completely strip TP of all its difficulty just months from release. I mean I get that the Wii was made for people that normally wouldn't play videogames, and that they would inadvertedly buy TP because of the pretty cover. But that's really no excuse why the GC version suffered from it aswell, or why there is no 2nd quest to make up for it.

Yeah, I get the feeling TP was originally supposed to be harder too. I mean the multi phase boss fight with Zant with remixes of all the previous boss fights should have been awesome but it was just way to easy to make me care at all.

As much as I dislike SS, at least it had Hero Mode to up the ante with. And OoT had the Master Quest, which on the GameCube just jumbled around the dungeon item and enemy placements, making figuring out how to progress in them harder, but on the 3DS it increased damage output from the monsters.

It's not just your feeling though, at one point during development the game WAS harder, probably because of the tons of criticism on TWW being piss easy. And then, at the last moment, the developers backed down and completely nerfed everything in the game.

I've never beaten SMB1 without savestates. Generally I make it to 8-3 and get murdered by the hammer bros.

The only Zelda I've beaten is OoT on the 3DS. I own MM, though, and someday I want to complete it.

Speaking of Zelda, I found the original game boring as fuck and never got past the first dungeon.

I only beat the Yellow Devil in MM1 because of the select glitch. I still have yet to beat the final level.

While I think they're all good games, the only classic Castlevania game I enjoy playing is Super Castlevania 4. Minus Bloodlines for the Genesis/MegaDrive (which I haven't played yet), the rest of them are too frustrating for me to enjoy playing very much. While I played bits and pieces of the NES games (I've never beat Death in CV1), I didn't get into Castlevania until Aria of Sorrow, and soon after getting Symphony of the Night. Probably doesn't help that I'm a Metroid fan.

I'm also kinda wish Castlevania Legends wasn't completely thrown out of the timeline. While the whole Alucard being the father of the Belmont clan was stupid, I wish there was a female Belmont main character that was canon.

I never liked visual novel games and point and click adventure games.

I just do not see the appeal of them.

I never liked the Zelda series as much as most gamers seem to look at it. I like some of the 2D Zeldas like LttP and Minish Cap but that's about it.

I seem to buy fighting games sometimes even though I am horrible at all of them due to never being able to effectively execute button combinations.

I hate games that take themselves too seriously. This is probably the reason I hate most modern games so much.

i believe in order to tell if a game is easy or not one should take into account the intended age of the player and the overall learning curve,

the first zelda i played was ALTTP when i was 10 or so and it was wonderful discovering things and finding how to go through the dungeons , i didn't get killed often but it sure was not so easy we didn't have the same videogame skills,
thats why every guy older than us by a range of 5 years or more was *almost* always better at videogames

I just finished Disc 2 of FF8 and honestly, I don't like any of it besides the music
The battle system is average but as easily broken as a twig
The monster designs are kind of "out there" for a FF game, and they repeat very often
The characters have no depth and all make retarded decisions for no adequetly explored reason
Squall is the only one they bother to try and make deep and his character is nothing but bi-polar all the time, "development" doesn't equate him randomly doing a helpful thing every few hours and then going back to being a douchey loner
The plot twist at the end of Disc 2 is just dumb as shit and feels like an excuse to not write individual character backstories, meaning no hidden depth for my characters here
Laguna sections are great, but come so thin I feel enraged that they do come at all

The best thing I got out of this game so far is The Man With A Machine Gun

I find LttP to be boring. I've played almost every other Zelda, and while the rest are varying degrees of okay to good, LttP just bores me to tears. OoT was the same way. I did like MM, MC, and WW though.

I've tried playing MegaMan games but they are also boring to me.

I had to use savestates to beat Super G&G

I liked MM more than OoT.

Ocarina of Time was the first Zelda game I ever played, and it was amazing. As soon as I finished OoT, I picked up a copy of Majora's Mask, played the shit out of it, and it was amazing. I've played every Zelda game, and MM is still my favorite by far. It wasn't just a game, it was an amazing experience.

OoT is still a masterpiece, but MM came out on top. The characters, the cleaner design, the music, the story, the side quests, and the temples. Absolutely incredible.

Not really a confession, but it seems like people who like MM more are the minority in the Zelda fanbase.

I hate Wind Waker Zelda and the directional the art has taken since LttP. I wish it was a little darker and realistic as opposed to cartoony.

I never thought much of the Metroid games. I like the art style but besides that I feel nothing for the series.

I never liked the Banjo Kazooie games that much but I love Conker's Bad Fur Day.

I hate the fact Mario Kart is so much more popular than the F-Zero series. Nobody wants to play F-Zero X because it's too hard apparently.

I've hated Star Fox games after 64. Assault fucked the whole style up as well as the voices. Has a completely linear path. It also introduced a certain blue character replacing Fox's best wingman.

The Mother series is one of the most boring RPG games to play. I hate the system. The only thing I like is the art style and the writing is okay.

Fire Emblem Awakening has a shitty art style and the 3-D models make me sick. I prefer 2-D style it previously had any day. I am not a fan of the re-classing system either. Still has decent game play.

The main difference is that you can lose F-Zero before the race is over. In Mario Kart there's no health, and the little cloud fisherman puts you back if you fall, so you always get to keep playing and getting the hang of it even if you're in last. If you're playing F-Zero for the first time you fall off the track and that's it. You just sit there and wait for your friends to finish having fun. I prefer F-Zero, but I can see why people don't have fun at first.

Turn based combat is an oudated mechanic.
Computer games have demonstrated numerous times that you can have a game where you control many different units/heroes all at once in real time.
Games being action based are a direct improvment due to the reaction time and need to make quick choices

The only reason turn based combat still exists is unskilled players.

Chrono trigger is a mediocre about spamming the attack command. It's incredibly shallow and was only remarkable because of the graphics, one of the least importaint parts of a game.

FF and the majority of jrpgs are just extremly simple strategy games designed for the mildly retarded.

Video games are a terrible medium to tell a story in. Narration constantly being interupted by fighting and puzzles kills any sense of build up, suspense, or flow. The nature of my characters vs the enemy makes for repetitive and predictable events.

I have zero interest in stealth games but I often played Deus Ex like a stealthy commando sneaking around and killing everyone.

I really don't care about the Zelda series, I've completed a few but they really don't interest me.

I didn't enjoy Super Metriod because I felt that its level design wasn't engaging thus the platforming or combat wasn't fun for the bulk of the game.

Most JRPG's on the SNES aren't worth my time.

I don't care for standard dungeon crawlers because it is just going through hallways and random encounters, or at least Japanese ones.

I think strategy JRPG's are okay, but are often bogged down by the fact that there is pretty much more exploration and combat is dreadfully slow and character growth is too standard.

Any racing game on the SNES that uses Mode-7 turns me off because it looks like you are driving on a piece of paper with inked in track rather than driving on an actual track.

I don't think Doom or Duke3D shouldn't be compared to one another since they set out to do different things. Were as you are going through a level, killing guys, flipping switches, and obtaining key cards in Doom, you have much more emphasis on exploration in Duke3D and usage of your items like the jet pack as well while not being as combat intensive as Doom.

I didn't have a lot of money growing up, and I got my first console (SNES) in 1996. I mostly played cheap games that my dad bought me, or game demos on his computer. Even today I'm broke as shit and I never buy games when they come out, I always wait a few years for the price to drop. I bought Fallout New Vegas a month ago and enjoyed it, and that was a big purchase for me because it was $20. spoiler because non-retro

I've owned Silent Hill 1-3 for years and I consider myself somewhat of a horror fan, yet I haven't finished or seriously played trough a single one of them.

I feel like the SNES "superior" sound chip was mishandled by most composers.
There are a few horrible (and mostly GEMS related) soundtracks on the Genesis, true.
But I feel like there are more bland and average soundtracks on the SNES than the genesis, mostly due to faulty instrumentation rater than actual composer chops.

Never really got the appeal of Pokémon to anyone born in the early to mid 80s. I've tried to get into the craze multiple times but the games always come of as babies first RPGs in a mediocre way and have a hard time understanding anyone born before '88/'89 loving it on the basis of nostalgia.

I just started collecting playstation games this January. I've never owned any playstation products aside from a PS2 for a week over a decade ago, and I only had that because it was a DVD player.

And the confession? HOLY SHIT THE ORIGINAL PSX CONTROLLER (no analogs) IS THE COMFIEST FUCKING CONTROLLER I HAVE EVER FELT. Nothing else even comes close, the only downside is the D-pad felt kind of awkward at first, and though I've gotten used to it, it's still not as good as a NES/SNES/N64 era Nintendo D-pad.

I honestly think that Phantasy Star IV did everything better than Square has done with Final Fantasy before or since its release and to this day I can't understand Sega's full retard decision of forgoing the series in favor of well made but totally different and inferior Action MORPGs.

That said, I'm not sure I'd trust modern Sega with reviving the series. And though I liked Skies of Arcadia, it's just not as sharp an experience.

I wouldn't go this far. I've enjoyed the story of a number of games: Spec Ops The Line, Dishonored, Half-Life series, Portal. The stories may be shallow, but they are enjoyable and understandable, and the twists are conveyed in a dramatic way.

Like the scene where the Master Chief confronts Guilty Spark, or where Corvo saves Emily, or when the player must quickly decide which person to punish in Spec Ops, or the feeling of being incinerated and betrayed during Portal, or that gut-wrenching feeling when the screen shows "We Don't Go To Ravenholm".

Even if the story is not perfectly conveyed, much of the emotion is, and I believe the story does get across.

This is something I hate. I just don't have time to devote to RPG games anymore. I realize I could play an hour a day or something after work, but breaking up the game that much and I would probably take forever to beat it and wind up not remembering the story at all.

I usually write down plot points for the game as I go (any game usually). It helps me remember what's going on and why I am doing something. But for a 60-130 hour game... I've never beaten a game that long. Not even come close. I think I'd need to work up to it with something <40 hours.

It's funny. I'm a super logical person and don't believe in any of that garbage for real. However, when I'm lone playing a tame game with just a little bit of spookyness I get all uncomfortable. I think it's more the sudden surprise that scares me rather than anything genuinely freaky or scary to me.

I never played any Final Fantasy other than FF1 on the GBA.

Until recently, the most recent systems that I've EVER owned were the SNES and Jaguar.

I know NOTHING about next gen games and/or first person shooters other than Wolfenstein.

I still love my Atari systems/emulators.

Even let's plays get the better of me now and again. Examples being the Fatal Frame series.

Im like you in the sense of "this shit cant exist", but when I get into a game that has good atmosphere (then again im a wuss, fucking soul reaver unsettles me for crying out loud at times), my imagination takes over.

You know those times where you think of a song enough and you swear you can hear it playing?
Now imagine trying to go to sleep in a pitch black room and consistently hearing the ghost dialogue/attack noises from a horror game (in my case, this happened to me with the Fatal Frame series, usually 1) combined with the other noises your settling house makes.

I know it's a game, I know it's not possible, but it still kept me up in fear.

I don't share your opinion entirely, but my Atari 2600 and 7800 are the two systems I have the least fond memories of, despite them being my first exposure to video games. I liked a handful of games, but the overwhelming majority put me off even back then.

Most of the games are time wasters, nothing to really keep your attention.

My brother got me Dragon Warrior III for the gbc for like my seventh Chrismas. I had only played Dragon Warrior Monsters before that, so I was really impressed by the animated sprites in battle.

Anyway, I never found out that you could save by speaking to the kings. I went the entire game by saving through the start button quick save, which deletes your game file as soon as you load it so if your batteries die or anything like that, your save is gone.

I made it all the way to Baramos' castle and, as soon as I walk in, I looked at my cartridge. (I was playing on my GBA, so the top half was extending out of the system.) I thought, I wonder what'll happen if I bite the cartridge? So I bit the cartridge and my game froze and I died that day. I have no idea what I expected to happen.

I think Chrono Trigger is Squeenix's best game, and the fact that they didn't implement all the things that worked so well in Chrono Trigger says a lot about their reputation.
-Battles on the same screen, enemies move around
-Techs based on positioning
-Characters actually act together to take down foes.
-Inventive structure in which you can tackle the final boss at any time, and everything else after 2300AD is a glorified sidequest
-New Game Plus
-Decreased focus on grinding and more on clever usage of abilities.
-Tons of secrets to uncover
-Unique dungeons with their own quirks and gimmicks.
-Multiple Endings
-Streamlined ability and equipment system without feeling dumbed down
-Characters that fit the balance between specialization and flexibility.

Polygons didn't look good at all until the Dreamcast, and even then they're cringe-inducing at times.

Take if from me, a major fan of Fallout 1 and 2. While Fallout 3 strayed from the the series roots in a lot of ways and was just an ok game, New Vegas is a worthy sequel and is, as far as I am concerned, the real "Fallout 3". If you liked Fallout 2, the style and themes of that game continue on in New Vegas, and there is a lot of continuity porn with the early games making the links between them solid and meaningful, unlike Fallout 3.

Also, are you looking forward to Wasteland 2?

For the record, I've always thought that people who disliked the later Nintendo consoles generally liked 3rd party games much more than Nintendo's games anyway, and thus had no affection for their games, just for other company's games.

I often get to the ends of games, reach the final boss, and quit playing without ever beating them. This happened for many Gamecube games and every classic Megaman (I can only get as far as the Wily Machine before dying, apparently I should use E-tanks but you lose those on game over don't you?)

Super Castlevania IV is the worst designed of the classicvanias Not counting Simon's Quest

People try way too hard with Accuracy on Emulators. I just turn the scanlines to 25% and i'm satisfied.

Aria of Sorrow does everything that Symphony of the Night does better.

That's the one about the subweapons right? I sort of agree with him but no. The Boss Battles are all forgettable and revolve around tanking damage while whacking on them with your whip(in other castlevania games, you get punished really hard for doing this). The difficulty curve is inconsistent, and some of their attempts to introduce new concepts ended up messing with the momentum and flow of the game(revolving room in 4-2 for instance) instead of making the game better.

I don't have as well-developed reasons as you do, my main beef is that the music is lacking compared to both the beep-boop rock of the other classicvanias and the slower metroidvania music, if anything it just sounds like a bad half-way attempt at both.

I'm the type that considers music second only to the gameplay though, so a lacking or bad soundtrack is a big hit against any game for me. I also do see where that video about the subweaps is going but that's not the main reason I dislike it.

Personally I think Bloodlines is the best Castlevania game. Great music, the best movement, whip play, and subweapons of a classicvania, and good difficulty. The levels can be a bit lacking in design though, and I wish that there were more enemies. But overall I really like it a lot.

Go for it. It's the one I can beat most consistently. It's certainly more "basic" than any of the others, but I rather like it that way. It's hard, but it never felt cheap to me. It takes more actual skill and reflexes than memorization, as is the fault, I feel, with most other Mega Man games.

Here's some of my confessions.

Mega Man 2 is awful. I don't care if it was an actual labor of love by the creator. The palette, level design, and overall implementation seriously lacks in my opinion. It's a shame too, because it has some of the coolest robot masters, but they are all pushed under the rug by such an overall incohesive.. game. I hate Mega Man 3, as well.
My favorite is toss-up between Mega Man and Mega Man 4

I haven't played FFVII. I don't want to. I don't care anything about it. I feel like the amount of attention it got marked the overall downfall of the game industry. I like IV, I love VI because of the artstyle. I enjoyed IX but I never beat it. I, for reasons unbeknownst to me, will probably never give VII a chance, except maybe the NES demake

Sonic on Genesis was okay, I guess. I prefer the SMS Sonic. Other than that, I hate Sonic with a passion. It never felt precise to me, mainly because I felt like Sonic's "momentum" didn't feel like momentum at all. In almost all circumstances, he just felt heavy, and the exponential value of his movements always bothered me. For instance, at a standstill, you hop and hold right, the longer you hold right, the faster he moves right, so his jump arc is more like a triangle with the hypotenuse nearly equal to its base. That's why I like SMS Sonic. It feels more like a true platformer to me, and has better, more predictable, stable, and geometric control.

I..I can't think of anything else that I actually feel like typing.

First, Legends was fucking horrible. Have you actually played it? It's hard to stick up for a game that's so awful and unplayable.

Second, that game wasn't "retconned." It actually contained continuity errors from the start. Adapting it into the timeline would have required retconning other games. By declaring it non-canon, Igarashi actually avoided retconning anything.

Also, compare it to Lament of Innocence. Lament explains where Dracula comes from, where the whip comes from, how the Belmont family became bound to it. Castlevania Legends was just "Oh hi I'm Sonia and I'm the first Belmont. Okay, that's the whole story!"

Also, if Legends is canon, it means all of the Belmonts (except Sonia) are descended from Dracula. It makes Alucard Trevor's father, making Trevor one-fourth vampire. You think that MIGHT have been at least hinted at in CV3, if that was supposed to be the case?

Legends was fucking retarded and never should have been made to begin with.

I have nothing against the idea of a female Belmont, but I'm not sad there aren't any. The series has enough strong female characters as it is.

Mega Man 9 is the best classic Mega Man game. Mega Man 1-3 suffer from too much bugginess, boring stages, bad design, and artificial difficulty. Mega Man 4-8, as well as Mega Man & Bass are too easy, gimmicky, and rehashy, and have lame robot masters and bad music. (Leaving alone retarded difficulty spikes like MM7 Wily Capsule and MM&B King's Castle.)

Mega Man 9 has the highest level of natural difficulty without even a hint of artificial difficulty. It has eight amazingly useful weapons that all serve different niches, awesome robot masters, great music, and nice level variety without resorting to gimmicks.

That's just counting the ones made by Capcom, anyway. Rockman 4MI is better than all of them.

Mega Man 10 was almost as good, but had shitty weapons, inferior music and robot masters, and was just "off" in a lot of other intangible ways.

Mega Man X and X4 are amazing games, better than anything in the classic series. Mega Man X2 is also great fun. Every other Mega Man X game, (including X3 which people seem to like for some reason), is complete trash. Oh, but X8 was okay.

I hate the Zero series and Legends series. I tried them. They were just unplayably bad. I also tried ZX and Battle Network and they were boring.

I don't like Ocarina of Time. Now, I don't think it's a bad game by any means. There's nothing *wrong* with it, and I recognize what a huge leap forward it was for the series, for the genre, and gaming in general. And I played it when it was new, as a ten-year-old kid, so by all means I should have my rose-tinted spectacles on with regard for the game.

But... I just don't. It just doesn't do it for me. I feel like it aged very poorly. I've tried to replay it, and I just can't. The game is a chore to play. It doesn't capture that "Zelda magic" for me. In retrospect, Twilight Princess, which sucks, is objectively a better game in almost every respect.

Really? What kind of parents give their kid a video game console when they're less than like six or so? You need to be able to read and have basic problem solving skills before you can handle even simple games.

So someone born in 1988 or 1989 probably wouldn't get their first game console until 1994 at the earliest.

Whenever I hear somebody say you need three hands to play with an N64 controller, I want to invite them over for some Mario Party so I can ambush them and beat the stupid out of them with a Gamecube (that's what the handle's for). There's multiple ways to hold the controller, dipshit. Most games use the analog stick and Z button, so put your left hand on the middle part. Most games also use A, B and the C buttons, so put your right hand on the right part. You can still reach the D-pad with your left hand if you need to. If you find this difficult then you are legitimately mentally challenged.

you remind me of my friend with gaming. he doesnt enjoy the game he just rushes thru the game and once it's beat he's done... and he doesnt like games to be challenging or hard.... so he loves his casual babby games that dont make it hard or difficult and he ust costs thru to victoly.

i dont get that mindset... I want at least a bit of challenge and excitement and some side quests.

I have played Final Fantasy I~VIII, but I never finished VI or VII because they bored me later on.

I can't stand action JRPG's, they tend to get very repetitive really fast and tend to pale in comparison to their pure counter parts (action games). I'd rather swing the whip around in a classic Castlevania for thirty to sixty minute rather than having "character development" and doing something similar for forty hours with the first couple being dull. They just feel like they are built on very shallow combat with character growth tacked on.

Megaman games have really short stages and have low replay value

I did beat FFVI about 8 or 9 times, never without using vanish/doom

Alttp is the best zelda

Earthbound > Dragon quest III

GBA is retro

I like crt filters and sometimes i use scale filters while playing on a crt

I hate sonic games and fanboys but have not played any sonic games more than 5 min.

DOOM sucks

I like castlevania but have no interest on metroid

FF8 is a good game

I really really REALLY want to get into metroid-vanias and fighting games, but I'm abysmally bad at them, so i can never play them for more than 10 minutes without completely giving up.

I too have never finished a LoZ game, nor do I really have much motivation to.

I've never owned a Nintendo system, so I really do get the appeal of most of their games (aside from Metroid, of course).

I have a hard time playing anything before 16-bit era (I'm including DOS) because I can't stand the graphics.

I've never played a Mega Man game, and if they're half as hard as everyone says, I never will.

Not entirely retro, but... I used a gameshark all throughout the PS1 and PS2 eras (whatever generations those were, 5 and 6?).

I think Earthbound was one of the worst SNES rpgs and is massively over rated. Only thing anyone can say about it is that it had "charm"

Newer Pokemon look like shit

Rare games were bad and nothing more than autistic smorgasbords of collecting.

Golden Eye was still horrible for its time and only a great shooter to kids who only owned an N64.

Megaman X series got significantly worse with every sequel past 3.

I'm tired of people feverishly saying that MMX is the best game in the series. It's a good game but I just can't believe that it's better than X2-X6 and X8. All of those games do what MMX does and more. I get tired of the nostalgia glasses clouding their judgement.

Understandable. Fighting games have a steep as fuck learning curve, and it takes ages to get decent at them.

>I really really REALLY want to get into metroid-vanias [...], but I'm abysmally bad at them, so i can never play them for more than 10 minutes without completely giving up.

How fucking casual can you be? Seriously? Metroidvanias are entry-level platformers for kids. How the fuck can you be bad at a Metroidvania?

>I've never played a Mega Man game, and if they're half as hard as everyone says, I never will.

Mega Man games are among the most casual easy NES games out there. Fuck, I have more difficulty beating Super Mario Bros than I do Mega Man. You have a huge health bar, a diverse array of weapons, items that refill your health completely that you can stock nine of, and enemies frequently drop health and ammunition. Extra lives aren't hard to come by either.

But if you can't beat a Metroidvania, Mega Man would probably wipe the floor with your ass.

Same here. On top of that I still like the 2D ones more and think the 3D ones are clunky and don't deserve anywhere near the praise they get.

Pokemon Red was my first real RPG and Crystal is my favorite of all retro games. My second is Final Fantasy Tactics.

I can't beat any platformers except for Mega Man games.

Yeah, I'm kinda with you there. Honestly, JRPG is a terrible genre, one that has bare-minimum gameplay as a vehicle to carry the story, graphics, and music. EarthBound may have been a new and different game in the 90's when it came out, but in retrospect it doesn't hold up all that well.

>Megaman X series got significantly worse with every sequel past 3.

This is not an even slightly controversial position, although I would maintain that MMX4 is better than MMX3.

I suck at video games big time but I enjoy them anyway the best way I can.

I can only play through games smoothly when im using savestates.

I seldom finish games i've bought, I take my time on all games. A regular playthrough of an long PC game can take up to 2 years or longer.

For instance, I bought Planescape Tornment in 2001 when it was cheap and I finished that game after 10 years - using the same save in the course of a decade on different computers.

Longer games I took my time on were - as an example - Wing Commander 2 and Cannon Fodder. I only take a week or so when im more serious about games, but it is very rare that I've ever played through a game in a few days. The last game where I did that was Portal 2. Though I can finish many games per year. But I take my time but im often lazy about it.

The only RTS game i've ever finished in singleplayer was Command and Conquer 1, Z and War Wind and I mostly play RTS games. The reason why I do that I stick with the Skirmish modes.

I've heard that the campaign of AoE2 is very awesome, yet I never played through any mission. The only game I almost played through the ending was Homeworld 1, but it stopped working in 2009. I might replay it somewhen now that I managed to make it work again.

I've beaten over 1000 video games (I actually counted), and I feel like I'm running out of games to play. It's terrifying

Anybody that hates an old console because it's old and archaic are disrespectful to the gaming genre. Even if you don't like it, you should respect it.

I think that people who have played Sonic games and don't like them are essentially playing it wrong.

I'm not too fond of the stealth genre, and if a games has some stealth in it, it lowers my opinion of it.

I play Final Fantasy just for the references and themeing of Final Fantasy. Gameplay is okay at best. People are too hard on FFXIII, it's not bad, just average.

I find that any game that uses real wars as it's theme are repulsive and showing a lack of respect for the actual soldiers who fought those wars. I'm also not too fond of guns

The fact that Sega has not gone the Neo Geo route and made a retro console for their old games (Not just the Genesis, but things like the Sega CD & Saturn as well), befuddles the hell out of me.

I know it's impossible, but I'd love to see Arcades make a comeback.

(I believe that..) Super Mario World is the worst mario game of all time. I finsihed it once, and I will never play it again. Terrible childish graphics, completely unfitting for a Bros.-like game, (The graphics fit Yoshis island, but for SMW it was just sad).
Stupid new enemies with no relevance to the Mario universe WHAT SO EVER.
And to top it of, the worst power-up in the history of any game ever: The Cape.

Also, the goal was stupid. Flag post and boxes were way cooler.
And the minigame sucked.

There are barely any positive things to be said about the game.

It gets a plus for boss battles though. They were generally very cool.

I love the aesthetic and story of Mega Man, but I hate the games.

I love Castlevania and play it a lot, but I've never finished any Castlevania game. Not because "2hard" or anything, I just never bothered.

I didn't like SMB3, and prefer almost all later incarnations of the Mario franchise to the original NES titles.

I think Pokemon is one the best RPG franchises, if not the best. The fact that every generation is so similar to the last but with minute refinements makes me appreciate it even more. I also think the Pokemon post Gen 1 are better.

I think StarFox and StarFox64 are of equal quality.

I hate Spyro.

I watch and enjoy Tropes vs. Women.

I don't think I'm that good at video games, but with a few exceptions I am better than most people I know irl. Except at fighting games. I totally suck at fighting games.
