I don't have any game I feel particularly ashamed of playing because it's considered bad.

But I sometimes I feel ashamed playing games like Mario in public because people might hear screams like "Waahh", "Uhuuuul", "Waaahhhaaaaa!", "Iupiiiiii!", "Lezzi-go!!"*. And I get embarassed thinking that people think I'm childish. Since I am one of those that think the music and sound fx are a part of the game, and I remember a video showing a blind guy playing Ocarina of Time using the sound fx, I got used to taking earphones with me or just being embarassed

*I know people commonly say letsa-go or something but, come on, there is no way letsa-go sounds like what Mario actually says. Btw, interpret the "zz" in lezzi-go as the same zz used in pizza.

TBF if everyone got banned, we would eventually get unbanned in all honesty.



Crisis Core has shit gameplay.

truly a master of in-depth video game critique

in all seriousness i can't imagine Crisis Core's gameplay being any more worse then say... FF8's junction system or the license crap in FF12

I love Cruis'n on the Wii, it's like Cruis'n USA and if you crank up the motion control sensitivity, twitchy but fun... I play it at least once a month even though I have completed it several times. To me its just a fun mindless arcade style racer. Got horrible reviews, don't care lol

At least FFVIII and FFXII wasn't a slot machine with button mashy gameplay that makes Dynasty Warriors look like Tekken.

How dare you bring reason into this. It's almost as if you've played the games yourself and formed your own opinion, instead of parroting what the rest of the internet has been making up for the past 10 years!

I did play Crisis Core and it was fucking terrible.

My post was sarcasm sir, but I don't blame you for being jaded what with all the geniuses in here.

It doesn't really fit the remit of this topic entirely, but i feel somewhat guilty that my gaming is almost entirely on the PS2 and PSP...i've not played any PS3, 360 or Wii games at all. This generation has passed me by entirely untouched (well almost) and i feel like i'm in a tiny minority of gamers who are out of the loop with most other fellow gamers.

 

[Psionic Roshambo]

@Xist dont worry you haven't missed too much, some awesome games for sure but on the PS2 you had a seemingly endless supply of awesome....

Not at all, I didn't get a new system until the PS3 a few months ago. And frankly I haven't been impressed by what I've played on it - PS2 still reigns supreme in my book.

I have no idea how anybody can say CC is a good game. It's very repetitive, boring, and overall not fun.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

The Nicktoons Unite games on the PS2.

And I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE Bubsy 1 on the SEGA Genesis.

Is that the same one that's on the SNES? That was one of my favorite games as a kid. The sequel was terrible though, but the original had a great soundtrack and fun gameplay.

 

[GeorgeFoulds]

Touch the Dead, it's so overly simple but the charmingly cheesy dialogue, and the fact that you can just tear through everything with the machine gun. Oh and Final corridor 13.

Yup, same game.

Dear OP,

I'm confussed. If the gameplay is so bad, where exactly is the guilty pleasure? The game has zero replay value (that much I'll give you.) How does one manage continue to play a game with bad gameplay, out of sheer enjoyment? Do you consider CC a guilty pleasure because the general consensus in this board is that CC is shit? Just curious.

pretty much, Crisis Core's gameplay is very flawed in some ways, but then again you have to be a certain person to tolerate those flaws anyway (i don't know why but they just didn't bother me as much as most people) and when you do that you can find some good aspects even. The story itself is really lame in some parts but it's way more competent and coherent then FF13 ever was and like i said before, Zack is much more likable character to play as because he wasn't a stiff emo git like Squall or an annoying prick with daddy issues like Tidus

 

[Mijzelffan]

Traditional turn-based rpg's, no matter how bad people say a particular game/the genre is, I almost always end up enjoying them.

Also more specifically I kinda liked pokémon link/trozei, a game generally considered as sucky.
