I'm probably alone, but I play games for entertainment, not to put me to sleep. I prefer sleeping pills to the Final Fantasy series.

Oh Gekko.

I find your special blend of irony and sarcasm refreshing.

Keep up the good work tickling our collective funny bones.

At least I don't cut myself.

Because you fell asleep before you got 30 minutes into FF7 and started contemplating suicide. Keep playing, I'm sure you'll find death a better alternative to finishing the game.

Actually, I agree with gekko on the FF7 and sleeping part.

It's just not a fun game.

Why did you play all of those games, then... if you knew Final Fantasy sucked in general?

My brother tried playing through FFVII (his first FF was FFX I think), but he says it's way overrated. It's just not much fun to play. He did enjoy the older, 2D Final Fantasies.

Same reason I played Halo 3 when I didn't like the first 2. There's a chance, with all these people drooling over a game, that it might actually be good.

Also, keep in mind back then I played a LOT of games. I no longer have nothing but free time, so I don't take as many "chances" on game series and genres I don't like.

The thing about me and RPGs is that it's very much a love/hate relationship. I've never played an RPG that I thought was decent, I've ever loved it or absolutely despised it. It's not a 1:1 ratio though, more like 3:50.

I do give games their fair chance though, and FF just fails to do it for me. Halo 3 on the other hand... awesome.

What RPGs have you liked?

Dylflon · 12-04-2007, 03:53 PM

Fun fact:

Final Fantasy VII is great!

Typhoid · 12-04-2007, 08:07 PM

Why wasn't Sonic and Knuckles in there?
Unless it was.

I find that game pretty revolutionary - to a degree. Not taking the fact away that it's a really fun game.

I don't know of another game where you can open up the top, and stick in a pre-existing game of that title, and the pre-existing game is altered to be played again in a way you haven't before.

And what about Vectorman, he has a friggin cereal named after him.

I started a house and single girl + cat on a friend his Wii, I was amazed at how addicting it was.

Pretty ironic by the way, I created what could be my 'dream girl', then she turned into a lesbian after I had scared off the first guy that came at my door.

For the record, if millions of people love a game, and you happen to be a member of a small minority that hate it, that does not mean the game sucks.

It means its a great game you don't like. And there is nothing wrong with that.

My issues with the list:

1) Anything Metroid Prime does not belong in the top 50.

2) I'm suprise neither Super Mario Ball Scrarching (import) and Legend of Zelda: Because It Makes Money didn't make the list. A little overkill.

3) Regardless of you feelings on Halo, it belongs in the top ten just because of its influence on the industry. It is the Super Mario Bros of the modern gaming era.

4) River Raid and Nintendo Ice Hockey belong in the top 20 just because I said so.

Overall, not that bad of a list. Just too heavy on Mario, Zelda and old role playing games. Strategy should have had a better representation as well, I think.
