Hope you guys don't mind a bump of a month-old thread. I'm a sucker for these type of things.
1. Very first video game.I'm... not entirely sure. I've been playing games as far back as my memory can go, so I have no clue. There were a lot of games to choose from, which makes it even more difficult.
2. Your favorite character.If I were to pick, it would be Shing from Tales of Hearts.
4. Your guilty pleasure game.Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. It's less "it's actually a bad game" (it isn't) and more "Oh my god, how many hours did I spend grinding up gems for accessories?"
I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent collecting rocks, polishing them, being disappointed by the gems that aren't what I'm looking for, and repeating the vicious cycle until I got enough of the needed gem for forge accessories. It's almost like the game knew what type of person I am...
5. Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were).Unimportant NPC who you talk to once and never bother talking to again. even on repeat playthroughs.
7. Favorite game couple.Ashton and Barrels.
8. Best soundtrack.I can't really say just ONE. I have some favorites that I like for different reasons, like Earthbound, Saturn Bomberman, Persona 4, etc.
9. Saddest game scene.MOTHER.
i cried at the ending10. Best gameplay.In terms of "game I had the most fun playing ever", Tales of Graces f.
11. Gaming system of choice.I can't say one specifically, but I used to be more aligned with handhelds until recently.
12. A game everyone should play.superman 64
13. A game you've played more than five times.How about I name a few instead?
Saturn Bomberman
Earthbound
Golden Sun 2 (... probably.)
Tales of Graces f (1 standard playthrough(first), 1 completionist playthrough(second), a speedrun (third), 1 "play it with family members"-through (fourth), and the current solo playthrough (fifth.))
14. Current (or most recent) gaming wallpaper.I generally don't use gaming wallpapers myself. I like starry skies or landscape wallpaper myself.
15. Post a screenshot from the game you're playing right now.More like, "what I was playing when I was reading through the thread."
17. Favorite antagonist.The final boss of Tales of Hearts, and also his "partner-in-crime." Characters I love to hate.
18. Favorite protagonist.It seems I already answered this. Valvatorez from Disgaea 4 is also a good one.
20. Favorite genre.I tend to stick with RPGs.
21. Game with the best story.Can't say. It doesn't really take much to "impress" me.
22. A game sequel which disappointed you.Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. There were a number of things that bothered me about it.
- Points of no return.
- Inconsistent story. I noted above that it doesn't take much to impress me, but this game's story was pretty much all over the place. If they make a fourth game, I hope it wraps up everything properly.
- Some pacing issues.
- Puzzles weren't really all that great, except for that one area which was puzzle city. That was nice.
- The final dungeon doesn't really feel like one. Hell, once I got to the final boss, my reaction was pretty much "What, already?"
- In addition to the above, there was a surprise difficulty spike in that fight. For a game I pretty much breezed through, I wasn't expecting that...
- There were some other plot elements I didn't like either, but won't touch upon.
Wow that turned into quite a list.
23. Game you think had the best graphics or art style.I really liked Wind Waker's style. Cell-Shading in general is pretty sweet.
I also like the sleek designs of Megaman Zero and ZX. I also quite like the designs for the Battle Network series as well.
For an... alright game, Star Ocean 4's graphics were pretty sweet, too.
24. Favorite classic game.Earthbound is a cult classic, so let's go with that.
25. A game you plan on playing.Nothing at the moment. Maybe Xillia when it comes out, but only if I have money.
26. Best voice acting.Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean 2.
For a serious answer, Disgaea 4 has some pretty sweet voice acting. Getting even more respect for Troy Baker.
27. Most epic scene ever.Fighting a Kraken in any RPG that has them. I'd say it's about as close to an epic as it's going to get.
29. A game you thought you wouldn't like, but ended up loving.Kirby's Canvas Curse. I was pretty put off by the game at first and I ended up loving it enough to clear the game multiple times.
Also, Megaman Network Transmission. It's a pretty cool game once you figure it out.
30. Your favorite game of all time.I don't have a single favorite.
31. Funniest game sceneReading the Ghost's diary in Paper Mario 2.
you know you want to do it
c'mon32. Game you've spent the most time on.As far as series go, Pokemon would be the top, with the Tales series following up. Games? No clue. I've clocked in nearly 350 hours in Disgaea 4 and I'm not quite done with it yet. I JUST got a Puppy Paw Stick.
33. A game you regret buyingPhantasy Star Zero. Not really a bad game, but...
34. A game that failed to meet your expectationsMegaman Battle Network 4, in comparison to the games before it.
36. A game you can't beatI'm really terrible at the platforming Megaman games, like the classic and X series. While I have beaten all of the Megaman Zero games along with ZX, I can't really do much with the others. Like, I've actually gotten to the final boss of Megaman X but never have beaten it. I got stuck in X3 with the mid-bosses that appear half-way through the game. The second one, I could not beat no matter what I did.
37. A game you'd like to finish, but never got the opportunity toI would very much like to finish Megaman X.
Also Star Ocean 2.
38. A game you've cheated onGrand Theft Auto games, namely 2 and San Andreas.
39. A game that aggravates youEternal Sonata.
Bonus:
40. Favorite boss?Doopliss from Paper Mario 2. When I heard
that theme, I know this guy meant business. It had been years since I've seen a character mean as much business as Pokey Minch until this guy came around.
