Guild I'm curious, what games you actually enjoy? xD
Sam, don't get him started. I like Guild and all, but I can all ready see the flood of text followed by fan flaming and rampant Nintendo fanboys.
*zips it* Pretend I didn't post anything.
I don't see anything wrong with asking me a question, lol.
I just don't enjoy games that are so rooted in a fanbase that they only know how to cater to that. I prefer a game that takes a bold step into being a gamer's game, not a weaboo game or a nerd game (although pretty much all gamers are nerds). Like Mass Effect if you want a RPG. It combines good story telling, deep characters, an original universe that feels original while still borrowing the good aspects from sci-fi over the years, and the gameplay isn't half bad either. TWEWY, on the other hand, felt like a really blah story with a cast of copy-pasted characters that was aimed solely at a weaboo fanbase. I'm not a weaboo, I never even knew what the fuck a Shibuya was until this game came out and I Wikipedia'd it. I played the game and so much of it seemed focused on "LOOK WHERE YOU ARE!" like it felt like I was supposed to care.
EDIT: For the record, I have friends who aren't massive video gamers but enjoy basically sports games, friends who aren't massively into RPGs, and friends who are the Swiss army knife of gaming, and all of them massively love Mass Effect to the point of getting giddy when anything about it is announced. Yes, I was using "massive" as a pun.
I like games that either have a focus on the plot and make it good instead of just poking that fanboy spot in your brain or games that have no plot, know that, and play on that fact. Games like No More Heroes where explaining things is way too much for pussies when you can just hack people into bits. I do enjoy the occasional JRPG with an average story now and then but only when it has good combat (aka very samey turn based combat), not this cluttered mess.
EDIT2: I'm also kinda into instant satisfaction. I don't really feel like wading through shit for hours until I get into the good part when I can just easily play a game for the same amount of time that's good all the way through. Take Saint's Row for example. It's a game that basically plays as a GTA parody but realizes some of its flaws and just cuts them right out. Instead of doing stupid story developing missions where you do nothing but drive around or walk around, every mission is some insane scenario or full of explosions. It has no story but knows this and plays off of it. It's just a way to put you into insane situations and make you almost a god amongst mere mortals and have fun. Hence why Saint's Row The Third is amazing looking, especially when they have you enter THE FUCKING GRID and fight baddies LIKE IT'S FUCKING TRON. That's kick ass.
Yes, I know FFXIII only gets good "20 hours into it" but at least I can ogle at
Lightning's oddly attractive features pretty graphics in the meantime and you gain access to the RPG aspects early enough in to care to play up to 20 hours.
I hope you enjoyed a small insight into my mind, thanks.
