Video Game Confessions!

My guilty licensed game pleasure is anything having to do with Bleach.

The three Bleach games on the DS and the Wii Bleach game are among my favorites. And I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Bleach game on the PS3. It's been described as Dynasty Warrior with Bleach characters. But it looks sooooooooo cool. <3

Yes, and it plays well too! There's a Japanese PSN demo of it. You play as Ichigo. :)
 
It comes out here in August. I already pre-ordered it. :lol

I'm more looking forward to playing as Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, Ulquiorra, and Halibel, though.
 
Confessions of a gamer

I saw this on another forum and it was a lot of fun! Let's share our deepest gaming secrets. Did you use cheat codes to beat all the Warcraft games? Claim to have a really easy time with a hard boss just to look awesome? Swap a scratched disc for your friend's working copy?

I'll start by saying that I have some anger issues and I break controllers. Alot. So often that I buy them whenever I see them on sale. I have the most amazing pile of busted NES controllers on the floor of my closet, but those are getting harder to find so now I just bash up one that's already broken.

Wireless controllers were the wost development in gaming for me, I can launch them so much further.

Anyone else?
 
Re: Confessions of a gamer

I signed my brother up for a third-party cheating subscription so he could play BF3 with me after a major car accident. His shoulder was messed up,he could barely move his other hand, and he couldn't really see very well, but he could still keep up. It got him through the worst part of recovery and he didn't get caught.
 
Re: Confessions of a gamer

I get more angry at online gaming than anything else

wave birds make holes in sheet rock

I'd rather collect vintage games than play

I've sold my collection off twice now, my 6 year old daughter's interest in gaming has caused me to start collecting again (just this morning got ps2 w/ 38 games for $50)

My daughter beat super mario 3d land and the new super mario bros before I did (she was 5 at the time)

one of my 360 consoles is banned from xbox live

I'm posting when I have a homework assignment and a final due in a few hours from now
 
-It's a pet peeve of mine when people think the Tomb Raider reboot is a rip-off of Uncharted. Tomb Raider came out in 1996 on the PS1. The Uncharted series started with the PS3. I can see where parts of the TR reboot are influenced by Uncharted, but to say Tomb Raider as a whole is derivative of Uncharted.....

-I haven't broken a controller since I previously posted about doing so. I find it helps a lot to stop playing the game for a while if you get frustrated, and then go back to it after you've had time to calm down.

-I was underwhelmed by Bioshock Infinite, but it's still a pretty good game.

-I started playing shooters with my 360 hooked up to my computer monitor, and now I prefer it to playing on a big screen tv. But I'll still play games that don't have fps elements on the big screen.

Well, Tomb Raider started the whole "third-person action-adventure, climbing, treasure hunting", but Uncharted went off and did its own thing. Polished off a lot of things games like Tomb Raider were missing, and made its own amazing universe that millions of people fell in love with.

Tomb Raider 2013 took a lot from Uncharted's take on that style of game. TR13 really isn't that much like the other TR games. It's a -lot- more like Uncharted. Gameplay and level design are much more like Uncharted than older TR titles.
Which is all fine, but it still does take a lot from Uncharted even though Uncharted took way more from Tomb Raider, but just molded it into something never done before. Anyone can accept that if they've played both of those series.
 
I have played both.

I like the Uncharted series, and played all three of the PS3 games. But for me they weren't compelling enough to play more than once. I traded all of them in after I finished them.

Of course it's all subjective, but I feel like TR 2013 took it a step further and was even more polished than Uncharted, especially in the combat. My only gripe with TR 2013 is that it didn't have as many puzzles as previous TR games, or as many as Uncharted.

I can certainly agree with you there. TR13 certainly took everything a bit further and the overall gameplay did seem a little more refined than Uncharted.
The climbing in TR was my only complaint. It's like they took a step backwards from all previous TR games AND Uncharted. I glitched so many times on it, and the climbing mechanics were just too simple IMO.

But it sort of needed to be simpler, as this wasn't a climbing game. But still, I often figured I could make this jump/that jump by holding this button/that button and it just didn't work because the climbing seemed pretty restricted to some 2D plane they configured on each climbing segment, so often you'd think you could just jump sideways to a handhold instead of having to gradually move there, but instead you'd be restricted and fall off. :P

Still, a minor complaint. Everything else, I do agree, was more polished than even Uncharted.





Anyway, video game confessions? Hm.
I really loved Metroid: Other M...? :lol
 
I am naturally farsighted and have uncommonly good aiming ability, so I am often accused of cheating and invoke the ire of other players. I also tend to take factions too seriously in real life, thus I refused to speak to my sister for several months after she began playing World of Warcraft on the side of the Horde. I've gotten better since then.

Oh man, I hear ya there. I came here posting that I'm a sucker for Fist of the north star things, pretty much the same deal as you but in the past few months I bought these xD

I think it may be getting out of hand :o

The Bleach games on the DS were awesome though! Same team that made the Yu Yu Hakusho fighter for Mega Drive ;D
 
Hi Everyone. :)

I recently was playing Zelda: Ocarina Of Time and yes. I'm afraid I took advantage of the Gold Skulltula glitch. I'm not worthy of calling myself a gamer. :P
 
That's funny about breaking controllers. I recall an old SNES third party controller that started shocking me after the casing cracked. That was probably from playing Mega Man 7. That game was infuriating. Of course, that was in like 1994.

I think I broke a PS2 controller around 2005. I blame the story mode of Soul Calibur II.

I do have to admit that I threw my GBA/SP at one point. It made a cute little dent in the wall. Since it was closed, the GBA didn't take any damage. Those things are durable!
