The Blackangel

Of all hairstyles, what do you think is the absolute worst?

It helps keep my violence in check. Also I love watching anything in which a human is suffering and in pain. Their screaming is beautiful music to me. I love listening to them beg, promising them release, and then breaking that promise just to see the despair in their eyes. Unfortunately that’s not something I can easily get away with IRL. I’m not the Zodiac, or Jack The Ripper. So the more unimaginable pain I can inflict on a character, both mentally and physically, the more I enjoy the game. The sad thing is that the best I have found so far is Hatred. It’s a lot more tame than what I want/need, but it’s better than nothing.

I’ve never played a Bioshock game, but I think I may be able to offer something here. I remember when Castlevania SOTN came out, a lot of people were saying that it wasn’t a true Castlevania game because the protagonist that you play as wasn’t Richter Belmont, but instead was Dracula’s son, Alucard. Also a lot of people I know have always refused to play Majoras Mask because it’s “not a true Zelda game”. All too often, if a game deviates from its normal storyline people reject it. Link wasn’t saving Zelda from Ganon in Hyrule. Hence not a Zelda game. And I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to that refused to play Links Awakening on Game Boy, some even refuse to admit that the Switch version is a remake.

It’s been so long since I’ve played a game that I could customize a character like that, that I honestly don’t remember. In actuality, I don’t even know IF I have ever even played a game with that feature.

Typically I watch TV while I game. I don’t play music when I game on average.

I haven’t touched Skyrim since that night, as I’m still pissed at it. When a bug/glitch fucks up my game, it sours me on it for a few weeks on average. I haven’t played Zelda Goddess Of Wisdom for several months now. It’s not a glitch but the problem is the boss in the third temple. You have to pull a very specific move to inflict damage. Anything else does absolutely nothing. It’s completely invincible to any other form of attack. But it still has the same effect on me.

It’s a great game, and I was enjoying the hell out of it, but WTF?!

I actually bought 4 Switch games recently. 2 are digital downloads and the other 2 are physical copies. Warlocks 2: God Slayers (DDL) The Way Remastered (DDL) Titan Quest Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince I haven’t gotten around to playing all of them as of yet, but I will soon.

Everyone I’ve talked to and every review of the Castlevania universe has called it the worst one. I never understood why.

For a while I could have agreed with you about AC. I hated it for a long time. But recently I decided to give it one final shot and loved it. But it also falls into the type of games I’m a fan of. I like single player fantasy games. Zelda has always been one of my absolute favorites. If Zelda had never been created, I most likely wouldn’t be making this post because I probably wouldn’t be a gamer. Now that’s not to sat that I’ve loved every entry in the franchise. I hated Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess. And don’t even get me started on the abomination that was Wind Waker. I’m also a major Castlevania fan. One of my favorites was Simon’s Quest, even though it’s considered the worst Castlevania in the franchise.

I tried that. It didn't do anything. Actually none of the buttons, or button combinations changed perspective. I'll chock that one up to being a PS3 edition bug.

How? I searched for the option but it was nonexistent.

I bought a couple new games off the Nintendo eShop yesterday. I bought The Way Remastered and I got Warlocks 2: God Slayers. I haven't really played them yet, but they looked great so I'm looking forward to really getting them going. I just wish Hatred was available in their eShop.

Skyrim. But from what @Crazycrab was telling me in the thread I posted about trying it for the first time, the PS3 copy has more bugs than an anthill. I was about to give up on it completely until I read his post. I'm planning on going back at it later today. Hopefully I can get past the bugs and get into the game. I enjoyed it until it fucked up. I just wish it was in third person instead of first person.

I agree 100% with your call on Zelda. The developers went way too far overboard with this one. I thought Twilight Princess was bad, but this one is a shit storm. As for my own entry on this list, the biggest choice I can think of off the top of my head, would be the GTA franchise. I just don't get it. I have tried playing it several times, and different entries. From what I gather Vice City is considered one of the best, if not the best. But it is just bullshit. It offers nothing for entertainment. There is no actual plot or mission in the games that I could see. Tasks are occasional, but other than that, you have nothing in the game to accomplish to move forward, because there IS NO FORWARD. There is nothing but an attractive title for kids rebelling against their parents. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Another is FF14, but that's due to my hatred of online gaming.

I’m playing it on my PS3. I’ve never been able to play games like this on a PC. I can never get the controls down.

SKYRIM IS A PIECE OF SHIT!!! Can someone please explain to me why all of a sudden out of the blue I lost control of my character, and the screen started rotating and pulsing in and out of focus? I know I’m not dead because I’m at full health. My stamina is fine, and I’m not fighting anything. And the guy I escaped with is still talking to me. This game fucking sucks.

I have the Scottish, Irish, and German flags up on my wall. They’re my heritage so I never take them down. My family were Scottish Celts, and I take a lot of pride in that. For the years of 1933-1945 I renounce my German heritage though.

I've finally decided to take the plunge. When I post again on this thread I'll no longer be a virgin. I'm going to play Skyrim for the first time. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

If the only gaming system you were ever able to play on again for the rest of your life was an NES, what specific game would you play the most and why? And I mean the actual 1985 console. No emulators, no downloads. And definitely no mini/classic bullshit.

Butterfly effect question. Would you sacrifice yourself if it would help 5 random children elsewhere in the world that you have never, and will never, meet or encounter? Take into consideration that they could be children of terrorists like bin Laden wanting revenge for his death, or children struggling with their families just to survive. And everything in between.

What’s a time for you when 2+2 doesn’t equal 4?

Other than the American flag, (you’re American right?) what flag would you be proud to have flying in your front yard?

When kids get violent and do things like school shootings, the blame always goes to things Marilyn Manson and Doom. It’s never a parenting or bullying problem. But when a kid excels and gets into Harvard, then they had amazing parents. Kid does good: parents are to blame. Kids do bad: parents are innocent and it’s something else. Pick and choose when and where it’s comfortable to be a parent. If your kid’s a fuckup it’s not the parents fault, but if the kid ends up being the dean of Harvard the parents get all the credit. Cowardly. Pathetic.
