Same here. I usually like it, but if its ever on a topic I don't care about, I'll just ignore it. Its that simple.

Either Xenosaga episode 3 or Persona 3. Tough choice.

Handhelds count right? Then I already did with my 3DS.

I don't see myself purchasing a PS4 for the next two years though. Waiting for at least 10 must have games and a price cut. Might get a Vita or Wii U though.

Pokemon, Shin Megami Tensei, Disgaea, Tekken, and Grand Theft Auto.

This seems to be a common belief about all internet trolls but I think its inaccurate. A good number of trolls are pathetic, grown ass adults who should know better.

@Lulu_Lulu: Why thank you :)

I guess I should have read the thread first before replying with something TC specifically asked not to reply with. I honestly thought it was going to be another one of those generic trolling "GAMING SUXS" threads. Sorry TC.

While I don't believe gaming has gone downhill I do miss the days of games that weren't quite indie, and surely not big budget. When it comes to spending money to develop games, the budgets get ridiculous. There's no middle ground anymore, which sucks, because I really like those kinds of middle ground games: they had more freedom to take risks than bigger budget games but were a lot more sophisticated and longer than a lot of indie games out there.

I also miss console JRPGs. There are still some good ones but not nearly enough. Maybe instead of going downhill, I feel like gaming has just gone through some monumental changes, and whether they're good or not depends on the individual.

A lot of people say gamers are toxic and abusive to others in online gaming frequently, but why limit that to just gamers? In various fandoms and all corners of the internet you will see reprehensible behavior, horrific abuse, and all kinds of hatred you didn't even know existed. And no one really does anything about if because for some very strange reason, people think the internet is some magical place disconnected from reality. And its like, really? Who the hell else is sending you those death threats other than a living breathing person? Magical elves?

I don't.

And ok am I crazy or has this thread been locked before?

Sounds like fun but I know I'd never be able to accomplish that feat. I take an obscenely long time to beat games (which is odd since I often don't even make the effort to do everything there is to do in a game). Couple that with the fact that I like to play really long RPGs.

So far I've only beaten The Walking Dead, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Pokemon X this year.

I'm always cautiously optimistic about over hyped, mainstream games.
