12 - A game that you hate
13 - A game that is a guilty pleasure
14- A game that no one would expect you to love
15 - A video game character who you can relate to the most
Is there a ridiculously lazy video game character who just wants to spend every day just lounging around and enjoying themselves? If so, that's me.
16 - A game that you used to love but now hate
I consider Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 to both be completely unplayable now. But that's because I have the Final Mixes so why would I ever play the originals over those? So I guess that doesn't really count.
Dynasty Warriors 3 probably counts. It wasn't until 4 that I really realized just how bad some of the issues that I had with 3 were, and I now would never consider replaying 3.
Oh, though would you believe I once liked Mortal Kombat, back when I was like 9?
17 - A game the disappointed you the most
In recent history, Resistance 2 was a gigantic disappointment. I loved the first Resistance a LOT despite my normal aversion to FPSes, so I was really hyped for Resistance 2... and Resistance 2 took everything that made the first one great and unique and threw it out the window, resulting in yet another generic FPS. Weaksauce.
Samurai Warriors 3, though I haven't played it much yet, feels like it'll be a big disappointment. SW2 is my favorite in the entire Warriors series, and was a huge step up from SW1. SW3 however... feels weak. It's been what, 4 years since SW2? It feels like a big realization of all my fears when they announced the game for the Wii. Because it's the fucking Wii, I can't have reasonably expected any real graphical improvement. Also because it's the fucking Wii, I can't have expected the controls to be any good, because the Wii does not have a good controller(The classic does not count as a good controller, neither does the Cube's controller, and we just won't talk about the stupid gimmick). So I expected... well, some sort of good or at least interesting new gameplay element, and so far all I've seen is a dumbing-down of the old special move system.
SC4 also fits this category to some degree, but less so because after SC3 I didn't have especially high expectations. It turned out worse than I had hoped for but really, SC3 kinda left me in despair already so it couldn't get much worse with 4.
18 - A game that you wish you more people would’ve played
So many options. Let's say Panzer Dragoon Saga here. I don't need to explain this really.
19 - Favorite game based on a movie/book/comic/etc.
Does manga/anime count? If so, I have to regretfully say Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4. As bad as the source material is, the game is a crazy good fighting game for parties, so much that my group stopped playing Smash Bros. Melee altogether in favor of Naruto. Too bad you had to import it, but really that's no problem for me. ^_^
20 - Favorite stress relieving game
Whatever game I'm playing at the time usually works, but the Dynasty Warriors seiries and certain fighting games(Soul Calibur 2) have been exceptionally good for it.
21 - Favorite fighting game
If you couldn't guess, Soul Calibur 2. SC2 acheived pretty much everything I could want out of a fighting game: it's not execution-heavy(rules out every 2D fighter ever), it's well-balanced(rules out Tekken and lots of others), it doesn't have a painfully steep learning curve(rules out Virtua Fighter), and it's just... fun to play. I think I can say that if SC3 had been SC2 but with some new characters, I would've been very very happy. Seriously, Namco should just make SC5 by literally taking SC2, updating the graphics, and adding new characters in. At this point, not much else will save the series in my mind, as saddening as it is to admit.
22 - Favorite RPG
PanDraSa. Do I need to say anything else?
If tactical RPGs count, Shining Force 3 is there too.
23 - Favorite racing game
24 - That one awesome game idea that still hasn’t been done yet
25 - The most hilarious game you’ve ever played
26 - A game that you can beat everyone else at
27 - A game that you wish you could play, but suck at
28- A game that makes you feel guilty
29 - A game from your childhood
30 - Your favorite game of all time
