What are some of your strange gaming biases?
I have great difficulty playing FPS games because I fine the field of view to be too restricted. I like being able to see everything around the character instead of just directly ahead of them. :(
i don't play sports games because i'm not interested in sports
[spoiler]Even sports titles with a Nintendo spin, like Strikers, are terribly boring to be. myface;[/spoiler]
I don't like fighting or racing games because I find them dull and shallow, although Nintendo-made fighting/racing games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros are enjoyable because they turn the silliness factor up a few notches. n_u
[spoiler]still, smash bros. is only fun with in items on akudood;[/spoiler]
I have difficulty getting immersed in turn-based RPGs because (as we've already discussed thoroughly myface;) I find it a hassle to have to navigate a menu to select attacks and other functions that are used very frequently. It just doesn't make much sense to me and greatly slows the flow of the game. befuddlement
also, as i mentioned in the title, for some reason i find mmos and free-to-play games to be immensely depressing (i can't even begin to explain that one) awdood;
well, i guess my only weird gaming "bias" is that, as i've said before, i often have a hard time playing handheld games
lately this hasn't been the case though, as i've been playing ffta2 a lot...but overall i still don't really touch handhelds very often nor do i have a lot of games for them
i don't like playing fpses because the gameplay completely relies on camera axes and i can never pick which setting feels best for me goowan
wow, i probably restrict about 50% of available games from my library based on these biases alone lol sillydood;
oh and i guess i also have that "i don't care about sports" thing but there are quite a few exceptions in my collection
I like FPS n_u
I think game from movie is very bad

that's because they usually (probably 100% of the time) are, so nobody can blame you for that one n_u

definitely not 100%
there are good star wars games, some disney animated movies had decent video games, and plenty of other examples too

some disney animated movies had decent video games
perhaps the star wars franchise has had some legitimately "good" games, but i would
never play a movie-based game because it stands out amongst the other movie-game shovelware but is only "decent" when compared to other
real games madood;
i love spider-man 2 :'(
i think that's just another bias of yours if you refuse to play "decent" games lol
the ace attorney games are only considered "decent" :'(
but then again, i would only very loosely call them "games" n_u
i would play a "decent" game if it appealed to me, not simply because it's a movie game that happens to be "decent" sillydood;

well, sometimes you just end up playing random games you never expected to, and they turn out to be decent
it happens tec, believe it or not lol

I used to love it too, but the game has not aged very well.
Ultimate Spiderman is the best one giggle;
Can you attempt to explain why you think mmos are depressing, as I would be interested in hearing it?
I can fully understand not liking them though. They are fairly big time sinks and are only as fun as the amount of time you are willing to put into it to level up, get your gear, and do the always more fun end game stuff. There is something about the grind and item drops that really pull me in though.
Saying I don't like sports games would be unfair to a lot of examples I can think of, so I could say I have a big bias against team-oriented simulation sports games which are not hockey.
Bad: simulations of baseball, soccer, football, basketball, etc
Good: Arcadey variations of any of the above, individual-oriented sports (tennis, golf, racing, boxing, etc). And hockey. giggle;
And as mentioned before, I don't like RTSes much. Other than those two genres, p. much anything goes.

i honestly have no idea lol
i would have attempted to explain if i had even the slightest idea but i really don't know why i find them depressing lol befuddlement
Probably the amount of time you have to invest in them and you need to socialize with people you never met. but that is why it is fun idk
i socialize with boyagers i've never met and that's only slightly depressing :'(
mmos are forums but you fight and kill guys.

but most importantly epic loot
if anything, mmos scare me because of the fact that you might have to 'socialise' with people
[spoiler]yes, i'm so retarded that the thought of using an internet persona to socialise with other internet personas is scary[/spoiler]
I can't play fighters aside from SSB
I can't play RTS games aside from StarCraft
I can't finish RPGs besides Pokemon

But I don't think that's the reason I find them depressing. befuddlement

Maybe you get discouraged by the time it would take to get to the higher levels of the game?
That's kind of why
I find them depressing. befuddlement
I find Pokemon totally pointless. What is the point anyways?

You could literally say that about any videogame.
The only fighting games I like are the smash bros. games. Everything else feels like a button mashing fest to me. Also, I think it's gunner when you play without items.
I also hate racers, not including the Mario Kart and Burnout serieseseseseses (what's the plural for that anyway)
I try to stay away from time sinks and massive amounts of grinding.

uh...to have fun catching, raising, and battling interesting creatures?
how is that not obvious?

There's several other games to fill that need. Like Monster Rancher.

but pokemon is still more than different enough from those other games
Pokémon is about kicking ass and taking names, if you do not get this then get a clue.

Dude strikers is so fun, it is the best. so fun.

the best online game on the wii and imo may actually be one of the best of this generation hocuspocus;[/spoiler]

I thought super strikers was for gamecube.
Quote from: YPR on August 18, 2011, 10:57:06 AM

It is pretty sad. But it was one of the only games that had leaderboards and really competitive gameplay.
Plus I was really good at it.
I think another issue of mine is that I can't play most games that lack 'depth'. I'd lump the overwhelming majority of sports, simulation (Animal Crossing, Sims, etc.), fighting, and racing games into this category. goowan
Well mmos have a lot of depth so I don't think you can count those.
The depth just comes via strategy/proper use of your abilities/equipment as opposed to story depth
