Gaming Confessions

Back in the day, I used to play tons of online FIFA with a friend of mine

What he didn't realize was that older FIFA games would automatically load your custom squads in online friendlies. So I went in and quietly boosted every player on my favorite teams to 99 overall

I loved Anarchy Reigns, I think it's a legit fun game, I played it a lot.

I was ranked in like the top 5 in PVP for Duke Nukem Forever on PS3.

I will avoid at all costs killing dogs/wolves or any type of cat in games. Even if there are dead cats or dogs as like props in games, I might just quit the game. I have absolutely 0 tolerance for cruelty to animals (yes, I know they are not real in games). I wasn't always like this with games though, something changed in me as I grew older and I became incredibly sensitive to it.
 
I play singleplayer games on easy difficulty quite a lot.

i've played porn games
Me and my friends have a silly tradition, we gift each other funny looking porn games on Steam on our birthdays and then stream them for the boys on Discord.
Last year they gifted me Being a Dik and we honestly had more fun playing through that game than we did with other more normal story games and I have no shame in admiting it. At points we were straight up crying from laughter from both the game and the jokes we made about it.
 
I really liked DA:Inquisition, warts and all. Platinumed it, in fact (getting through a Nightmare run was a bitch, and admittedly I abused the chest duplication bug, but still). And I don't think DA2 was that bad (it wasn't that good either).

Having said that, Veilguard sucked ass. And not in a pleasant way.
 
I have a bad habit of getting high and drinking too much, then buying a bunch of videogames I never end up playing. It happens every 6 months or so. It seems like a good idea at the time, because I'm enjoying games so much and that looks fun and hey I can afford it. But it turns out that buying things when you're half in the bag is not actually very smart. Go figure. You'd think I would've learned my lesson by now. I'm old, and I've been through this process at least a dozen times. But no, I keep doing it. Dur...

- Big time save scummer in RPGs and turn based strategy games

- Big time camper in shooters. Not the guy crouching in a corner. But claymores and betties all over and I'll try to mow you down from far out before you get me with an AR or LMG (I dont use snipers). And if the perks line up nicely, I'll also equip fire/explosives/tac mask best as possible making it harder to flush me out

- Big time loser selling off old games way back to mom and pop stores and flea market dudes for $20. Lots of those old games are now worth $100s! One of them was MUSHA. Traded it in for $20 to some grubby game shack store inside Knob Hill Farms. That grimey grocery store would have shady vendors in its stores (kind of like how Walmart has the eyeglasses and travel agent sections siloed off). Who the hell knew that game would be worth a ton. And I kept all my old games back then in perfect condition box and manual
I love Zelda 2 to bits. It's my most replayed Zelda, together with Zelda 1.
I've only played a few Zeldas back then. But Zelda 2 is 10x better than Zelda 1. I thought Zelda 1 was actually kind of gay. Only really good thing was it was a pretty big game for its time

I never understood/saw the Lara Croft "sex appeal" thing, in fact, I have never really played any of those games either . I am assuming here, but I had my first "Lara Croft Moment " with:

1)I spend on Gacha games and I'm not ashamed of it tbh (I spend with responsibility).

Genshin Impact is my comfort game after a day of work as I sometimes just log in to enjoy the atmosphere for 30 minutes.

If a game brings me joy I'm not worried about giving some money back in return.

2) I mostly buy fighting games and barely touch them. I loved to play them when I was younger and now I mostly watch it. I do buy all seasons for most fighting games I have.

I literally have only 5 hours in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and I bought the deluxe edition for both PS5 and PC... I know, it's dumb as fuck.
 
I've realized that it's rare that a new IP captivates me (some do of course like Clair Obscur, Nine Sols, Elden Ring) and that most of my gaming interests are extremely based on the nostalgia factor they have over me.

Sometimes I sincerely think I would be okay playing new installments of my favourites franchises almost exclusively.

Inquisition is awesome. I really enjoyed it too, I even enjoyed the awkward multiplayer coop mode.

Veilguard is an irredeemable pile of trash.
 
Bought every GTA game to bounce off each of them in a few hours. Same with Red Dead, the Rockstar approach to open-worlds doesn't interest me I guess.

Bounced off the The Last of Us 1 as well, and watched it on youtube.
 
Inquisition is awesome.
I think Inquisition should be a masterclass into how not do game design. There are so many fundamental flaws. You have the initial tutorial. Then the tutorial area (Haven). And once you're let loose in the "open world", such as it were, you're... in the Hinterlands. There are tutorials there as well for sure, but also areas you're not meant to clear until way later. Many people didn't catch into this.

Which is sad, because there are completely optional areas that are just awesome, and are easily missed. Can't be arsed to look it up, but that desert during the night (in the Western part of the map, I think? It's been years), nothing much to it. Except for the most epic dragon fight, with the drakes spawning in. And I bet not many who played the game ever got to it.
 
Once you learn the song to slow time you pretty much get enough time to do one temple every three days. Reset and do the next one.

If I recall correctly you don't have to actually wait until the game tells you about it. As soon as you get the ocarina back, you can just play the Song of Time backwards and it works. Same deal with the song to speed up time (play all the notes twice)
 
I have this habit of making it to the final boss in games and then just quitting for no reason. Not because the bosses are difficult, but because I'm lazy and just can't be bothered. Final Fantasy 7, Legend of Zelda Link Awakening, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.

I never finished Red Dead Redemption 2 despite liking it a lot. I watched the high honor ending and called it a day.
 
I choose easy difficulty or lower in most games these days. (Some games now have story difficulty below easy.) I believe that there is no shame in that. Games are a form of relaxation for me, not some flex on skill or accomplishment. I will try harder difficulties if I love a game enough and want to see the nuance of its systems.
 
I once played just cause 3 while high on shrooms ...I did random shit and beat some of the hardest zone that I couldn't beat with better gear.I still have no idea how I did it even moreso considering that I remember seeing the screen wiggle while I played.I was laughing all the time I was playing though.
 
I constantly gorge myself on games I really like until I hit about 70% and then burn out. I "put them away for a few weeks", then never return to beat them. Two years later I replay them and do the same shit again.
 
I bought No Mans Sky.

On release day

So did I. My related gaming confession is that I was the biggest NMS fanboy pre-release. I started an FAQ on a message board and it was pretty much thee source of all things NMS on the internet. Man did I fall for One Man's Lies hook, line, and stinker. Obviously the game has righted itself over time, but I was swimming in the Kool-Aid before it released.
 
i'm using cheat engine, gameshark, or cwcheat for a games that could use exp multipliers or ap/jp/sp multipliers or gp/gil/g/$/Y for money,
don't have the time for grinding anymore.
but back when i was younger, i grind a lot, lv 99 for each characters in rpg : ))
in MH or some multiplayer games, i do it normally, i swear : ))
 
Didn't play The Last of Us 1 until 2023 cos when it came out I was so sick of everyone never shutting the fuck up about it for 5 seconds and how it drowned out all other gaming discussion at the time.
 
hence why modern AAA games are full of waypoints, button prompts and yellow markers... a sad reality.

Been playing games since 1984 toots, just the one outlier that I've admittedly never taken to. Ya know, the entire point of the thread.

it's a weird game to be confused by tho. it's pretty straightforward unless you want to do side quests.

I can't get my head around Daggerfall... that game is insane to me. like... what do you mean that one tiny island on the map alone is bigger than Skyrim? the fuck?
while Majora's Mask is a pretty linear and relatively small game.
 
- I bought an N-Gage (in 2003, I think) and actually enjoyed it a bit.
- I've never liked GTA
- Super Mario 3D World is the only Mario game I've finished
- I liked Dead Rising 4
 
My last consoles bought have been Series X->Xbox One->Wii U

I bought an Ouya

I liked Funko pops for about a year where I was making a lot of money and bought a decent amount of them

One of my favorite gaming experiences in my life was the Snapmap mode in Doom 2016 which is the black sheep of Doom fans who don't even acknowledge its existence.
 
Lucasarts had an automated 800 number you could call to get help with games. I used it to beat Loom
