I don't play that game!

[Zagnorch]

This thread is just silly now.

Whattaya mean, "now"

But as much as a Sonic fan F**k that I am I can say I WILL NEVER play Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) or Sonic Unleashed, ever again!

Can I have your copies of those, then?

Much like Shadow the Hedgehog, I wanna give 'em a whirl to see just how bad they really are.

I think Zag has secretly been playing Pokemon in between bouts of Skylanders... 

Dude... NOT funny. 

[Crabmaster2000]

Skylanders is basically Pokemon light :p

And hey, just 'cuz I yell out, "I choose you, Trigger Happy!" whenever I put him on the portal, and "It's super effective!" whenever I take out a level boss, that doesn't mean it's anything at all like Pokemon.

LMAO

Never played Gears of War and don't plan on it. Just seems like a bunch of unrealistically buff guys trying to act tough at one point, then cry whenever someone dies. As for avoiding genre's, sports games and puzzle games I tend to avoid.

If you're avoiding unrealistically buff guys you must avoid a lot of media.

At least have the common courtesy to explain why. It's like a COD fan saying that COD series is the best series ever created without explaining why.

I'm just curious why. Thats all.

Good point.  Well, here goes.

I've always hated how Sonic controls.  It feels like I was never completely in control of the character, and that it felt like Sonic was constantly walking on ice.  Granted, I've only spent time with the Genesis titles, but I'm sure the post Genesis titles won't change my mind much.

I've always preferred platformers like the DS Castlevania games or the Super Metroid games.  I feel like I have total control in the game and that the only reason I will die will be because of my error, not the control set-up.


Aside from Sonic, there aren't a whole lot of games that I would refuse to play.  I may not usually collect or buy sports games, but that certainly wouldn't prevent me from playing them.

No love for the original Bubsy either then I take it?

Saying Sonic has slippery controls is perfectly fair as the physics are geared more towards building momentum and speed. The level design is really what makes the old Sonic games good, they're very intricate and built around those mechanics.

Bubsy on the other hand tries to be like Sonic but without any of the things that make Sonic good. Slippery controls, but with terrible level design, one hit kills, and bad hit detection.

Gears always struck me as a game that'd be a lot more interesting to me if it didn't seem to take itself so seriously.

Since I really liked Sonic I did actually like Bubsy... plus speech back then was still pretty amazing in games (one hit death in a game about speed was a real dumb move though.
But yes, if you don't like Sonic... my bet is you wont be much of a fan of Bubsy or Socket for that matter.

I don't typically touch Halo games and I don't see myself doing that anytime soon. I'll play a bit of it so I can talk about it at work but other than that...

Also not big on sports games and COD. It's the same crap every year with new rosters/environments. But these days that can be said for a lot of franchises. Developers don't take as many risks as they used to.

I'm not a big fan of wrestling games anymore.  WWF Wrestlemania 2000 for the n64 was the last good one.  Everything else after that sucked.

Its still real to me, dammit!.

I never got into post-NES sports games.  Tried, but I always had more fun goofing off than actually playing by the rules (driving backwards on a track, intentionally fouling, punting at nearly every opportunity, etc.).  I also don't like rhythm games, be it music or whatever, at all.  Since I have absolutely zero rhythm I don't see the point in frustrating myself.  Finally, online console multiplayer games (specifically ones with voice chat) makes me want to puke.  I blame that one square on the chin of Xbox Live.  Why would I pay (what amounts to a full price game a year) so I can listen to idiots slag everyone because they rule/suck at a game?  I've upgraded to (and let lapse) Gold a total of three separate times and had the same experience each time.  No thanks.

I'd like to share a quote a friend of mine dropped on me after my second attempt at Xbox Live.  I'm almost certainly paraphrasing, but the basic gist of it is: "If you don't like something then fine, but if you want to talk hate about it without giving me any concrete reasons then all I hear is 'blah-blah-blah.' "

What about the super over-the-top arcade sports games like NBA Jam or NFL Blitz?

I love all of those AKI wrestling games from that era. You didn't like No Mercy?

Have you ever checked out Virtual Pro Wrestling 2? It's basically the japanese version of Wrestlemania 2000, but it's got an all japanese roster and a ton of features that aren't in our version.

The closest I ever got was the Mutant League games on the Genesis and a few of the WWE games on the Xbox 360 (just enough so I could create a myself and my brother as a tag team).
