Video Game Meme... thing.
10 years ago
General
1. You started to play videogames at the age of...?
About 5 or 6... first TV was 19 inches and black & white. Oldschool FTW =p
2. First game you ever played?
Super Mario Bros. 2
3. First console you owned?
NES
4. Consoles you own/owned?
NES, SNES, Game Boy (normal and colour), GBA (normal and SP), Gamecube, Wii, DS, PS2, PS3, PS4
5. Your favorite genre(s)?
Action/Adventure, Platformer, Action RPG, RPG Shooter
6. Favorite game character(s)?
Megaman
7. Which element(s) in games is/are most important for you (story, graphic etc.)?
Story and Gameplay mostly.
8. You don't care about ...?
Sports games.
9. Prefer PC or Console?
I've been a console gamer most of my life, but I don't have any problem with PC games... PC gamers calling themselves the "master race" is an annoyance of mine. Here's a tip - the last group of people who talked about the "master race" had half the world come together to kick their asses. Might want to save the delusions of grandure there...
10. Your current 3 Fav games?
-Megaman series
-Souls series (including Demon's Souls and Bloodborne)
-Borderlands series
-Phantasy Star Online
-Legend of Zelda series
11. 3 Games you didn't like...
Quest 64, Earthworm Jim 3D, Star Fox Adventures (well... I liked it until the borderline insulting ending that reeked of Rare selling out to Microsoft and becoming a joke of it's former self).
12. One game that's totally overrated in your opinion?
Halo. Always Halo. When gamers give death threats to companies for not giving every game in the franchise a perfect 10... when Halo 2's launch is advertised as "the biggest event in gaming" and the game franchise is pretty much used as a pacifier to keep the fanboys from realizing that Microsoft has next to no good exclusives for their system or interest in making anything new or interesting for their consoles, you know it's overrated.
13. Ever played an online game, if yes which one(s)?
Maple Story and a little bit of Mabinogi.
14. What do you think about ...Tomb Raider?
A decent Playstation IP that sold out to Microsoft... just another victim of the great green Borg cube.
15. ...Tetris?
Pretty good at it, but not tournament level. Can reach lv 10 pretty reliably.
16. ...Sonic?
As a Nintendo kid, I never played much of the classic Sonic series. Adventure 2 was my first game in the franchise and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've steered clear of the truely "bad" Sonic games, but I certainly have a much more open view of the games. Colors and Generations were great games that showed the franchise still has promise. Sonic Boom screwed that up... but if one thing has ruined Sonic more than anything else, it's the fanbase, who cannot be pleased with anything if it's not Sonic and Knuckles 2. The Sonic fanbase has become self-destructive and very little can be done until they collectively grow up... which likely won't happen. Conversely, Sega needs to pull their heads out of their asses, not just because of Sonic, but for other games in their library. They've completely fucked over North American gamers who have waited over 3 years for their version of Phantasy Star Online 2, then decided to make a PS4 port, but only for Japan. Sega's very quickly going the route of Konami, to be honest... and that's a bad thing.
17. ...Spyro?
Never played it much (never had a PSOne), never got into it. My girlfriend loves it, though.
18. ...The Sims?
Meh. Don't see why it's not a Facebook game by now.
19. ...Legend of Zelda?
Never played a bad one... though never tried Skyward Sword yet... still want to. The Zelda franchise has been a staple series for me that just has not steered me wrong. Also, Link's Awakening is probably one of the most heart-wrenching in the series, but so many people forget how good it really was.
20. ... Assassin's Creed?
Played 'em up until 3... kind of fell out of love with the series. I think a new IP that goes back to the free-form Assassinations of the 1st game and steers clear of combat for more stealth target kills would be a great idea.
21. GAME OVER!!!
Don't know. Never seen one. Hahaha... just kidding. No, seriously... it's nice to have a real "failure point" in a video game, rather than infinite lives, refillable health and no way to truely lose. Not every game works with that system, but it's nice to still see those 8 letters from time to time.
22. Game(s) you'd love to see?
A D&D-like game using the Wii U in where the person with the tablet controller is the game master and everyone else uses the Wii motes and TV. The GM can either generate use pre-made campaigns, make their own and upload/download ones created by other players to try.
Also, a new friggin' Megaman game... oh, and for Sega to bring out PSO2 to North America already! >=/
23. Game(s) you're waiting for at the moment?
Dark Souls 3, Mighty No. 9, Red Ash, Bloodstained
