@anonymousicko Funny thing, I've always thought (me, being 30, having a nice blonde as girlfriend, living alone, doing drugs, having a car, going to parties and friends "getogethers", graduated, etc) that only spoiled brats who follow the main trend of "look you guys, I've got a 3DS! It has the same BS games the Game Boy and the DS had and no better graphics or ANYTHING else, but now I can bring this to school like you losers" played Mario games. CoD?? Yes, they also play it, 'cuz its also a fad for the kiddies.
If you're an adult (or even a teenager, as long you don't listen to Justin Bieber and have some brains) want to talk about the Metro series, come talk to me. If you want to talk to me about Bioshock, I'm all ears! If you want to talk about nice old games like Neverwinter Nights, The 7th Guest, Gabriel Knight games, Baldur's Gate, Tie Fighter, Morrowind (ever heard of ANY of these), come talk to me! But (bitch please) never try to convince me that a full grown up with a fantastic social/professional/sexual life should let go his friends, his girlfriend, his **** buddies, his co-workers, his beloved family, his old friends from college and high school and lose some time of his life playing.... playing... (are you ready for this in all seriousness?)... Super Luigi U?
By the way, if you ore any other didn't understand what I meant by all this description of my adult life and understood this as bragging, you know what??? Then you really should be playing your Mario & Luigi games!
Sorry, my girlfriend, I truly love you. You are the love of my life. Sex with you is awesome. Really, I've never had the "power" to do it 4 times in row without Viagra. And 'tis not just the sex. I love your opinions, the way you express yourself. I like when we go to my mother's, you always bring something that makes a difference during lunch/dinner. My 2 brothers are envious of me because of you, not just because you're skinny with big breasts, but because you act sexy. You dress nice! Yeah, I agree, if you've the legs to show, then show them! People see you work out, and that makes you even sexier! Sometimes you wear too flashy and too "slutty" when we go out, but I like it, because you're always hanging on me, showing everyone that YOU ARE WITH ME!! I know it's man vanity this thing of having a hot girl on his side to show off to his friends, and I'll be the first to admit that this is immaturity, but what can I do?? I'm a man! I need these things and you provide them, together with great sex, happy moments and good sense of humour. You make me happy. People here on GAMESPOT wouldn't believe I'm actually with you, but they would if they knew I'm a PUA. You are beautiful. I love you more than any other I've been with. I'm a lucky man and people know this just by looking at you, Luciana.
But I'm sorry, my love. When this game is out, I'll ditch you. I'll play it night and day. I'll stop going to the gym. I'll stop hanging out with my friends. I'll piss in half cut Coke bottle. I'll eat in front of the PC. I'll play it until I have a seizure, like that guy with Diablo 3(BS game). I'll start with the Julii, then the Scipii, then the Greeks, then Carthage, then the Middle East peoples. I'll write my testament now and leave you everything, 'cause I'll literally, PLAY THIS GAME UNTIL I DIE!!
Gmes are starting to look all the same. This looks like Watch Dogs, that looks like, GTA, that looks like Uncharted, that looks like Last of Us, that looks like other and other and other... TPS games are really needing to diversify a little. of course, IMHO.
My favorite is the one that you guys think sucked the most: ULTIMA 8!
I have a personal story with this game. It was my first great/big game. I was a kid and never played such a free and big game. I liked only to explore and kill people. After a while, I did some of the game's main missions and stared to get into the game. When I managed to free Devon, I jumped in. When the "quiz" with the Theurgists happened, I spent 1 year trying to pass it. I had nothing to help me with, no Internet, no walkthrough, no nothing. I played the unpatched version. When you have to make your pilgrimage to Moriens birthplace, there was no Moriens birthplace, so it really felt like a pilgrimage. I spent 1 year wandering the catacombs without a clu of what to do. Still, I pushed forward and found everything. I played the game for 7 years. When I finished, I cried like a baby and my family was worried. Up to this day, I consider Ultima 8 the game that changed me, not only as a gamer but as a person. I learned to persevere. I learned to be pacient. I learned that knowledge comes with time, dedication and faith.
All this may sound like I'm overpraising the game, but as someone wiser once said "it doesn't matter what happens to a person, what matters is what the person gets from the experience". This is what happens with games. You may play it, finish it and forget. Or you may jump in, and make it an experience. The Metro series are a perfect example: they're not games to be played and finished, leave that to BS games like Crysis and others where the main goal is to appreciate texture based graphics and shoot shoot shoot uninspired enemies. These are games to be "savoured", to be "tasted", to be "appreciated". Immerse yourself in the world and the story. Pretend you are the character. Turn off your bedroom lights. Don't play the game, live it! That's what I did with U8. It was the game of my life.
