I never enjoyed any of the Mario or Sonic games.

I did however enjoy James Pond 2: Robocod and Zool on the Amiga. I hereby declare these games the better platformers!

#3 Dodgy gamedevelopers will love you, just look at the garbageheap Steam has become where most games don't qualify as a game. Of course then there is GOG has dismissed quite a few decent ones

#4 Seeing that a lot of new games are throwbacks to bygone eras of gaming speaks of the contrary also I have very little interest in new games that come out these days. PersonallyI tend to judge games on a game by game basis, regardless of age.

#6 Why would Nintendo publish their games on other platforms than their own? They would be out of business before the year is over. And then there is still the matter of that a game is even capable of running on another platform because of the hardware differences. We have had enough crappy ports as it is. If you really want to play a game that is on a certain platform it's usually worth it to get it on that platform.

Agreed. Whatever makes people happy.

DRM has of course the innate potential of censorship. Wrong region? You not play!
Curation is... well it's self-censorship of a store. There's good (QA) and bad (individual taste of curators, company policy) about it.

Well, wine tends to go sour too. Old games are both of historical value and childhood memory for many. Also some old games (not all) actually are bloody good fun, once you managed to look past the wrinkles. That said, arcade games with no checkpoints or huge RPGs without automapping are hard to stomach nowadays. As is trial-and-error(=die) gameplay (Sierra, I'm looking at you...)

Lol my wife fell asleep during watching The Walking Dead, Expanse, The Punisher... to each their own I guess. Though I also think Bioshock 2 weaker than the first. The new team made the game more... gamey, while in the first Rapture felt more like a real place, not "levels".

- I absolutely love Omikron The Nomad Soul even though the game has a lot of haters and is considered trash by many.

- Elder Scrolls games bore me and the same goes for all Fallout games save for 1 and 2. Ehh Bethesda, but I still love you for the cringe and memes you provide each passing year!

- I could never get interested with any of the Zelda despite the whole cult around it. The same goes for Mario and Sonic!
Sorry but my Princess is in another castle :s.

- I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 far more than Origins (definitely not because of Fenris, ehm, nope, not at all)

- You can say you play eroge game for the story and be serious about it.

- It's ok to save often xD.

- And most importantly! It's ok to enjoy games any way you want! Sometimes, it feels like an unpopular opinion, among all the people that like to criticize those who like speedruns, those who love to collect achievements, those who watch other people play or those who use cheats to give their Sims those sweet simoleons §§! Come on, my sims deserve a better life than me!

^This.
But is this really a minority opinion? I think the nay-sayers and "true scotsman" fanatics are just a lot more vocal than the majority who simply enjoy their games the way they like them - how it should be.

I enjoyed DA2 as well. Fenris was never in my party though. I actually prefered DA2 more than Inq. Inq I felt that was alot more messing about, just to add to the game. (ME A had that as well, but they pulled it off better in that so I didnt mind it as much.)

Most of us are probably playing games to have a good time. If we have a good time with Duke Nukem Forever and a bad time with Doom (2015), why should anyone care?

For some reason it's much more accepted to enjoy shitty and/or mediocre movies than games. Could it be that people are more invested in games and can't comprehend why someone would invest so much time in something that's sub-par according to them?

In general:

I like them, and I think there's nothing wrong with adults enjoying them. ;)

is that a wink at the end of your comment or are you being serious?

I'm just being confusing, of course! ;)
*wink, wink*

Now I'm confused... 0.o

#9: Fallout 4's RPG mechanics are much better than other entries in the series. Unfortunately, Bestheda didn't have the skill nor mindset to integrate them into the dialogue or quests in a meaningful way. I was really disappointed to never see a Obsidian spinoff that did them justice.

#10: There are not enough edutainment games, for every age bracket.

#11: Nintendo should quit the device business, and concentrate solely on what they do best: Making games.

#12: Miyamoto shouldn't be the last word on how a game should be handled. Dinosaur Planet and the Paper Mario series comes to mind...

#13: The DanganRonpa series disappointed me. The cases don't feel as interesting as those of Ace Attorney, the stakes don't feel genuine, and the overarching mystery is just a giant tease that never truly got resolved.

#14: Games that don't live up to their potential greatness are much more unpleasant than a bad game that had no prospects in the first place.

Beyond Good and Evil is mediocre at best.

3D platformers are vastly superior to 2D platformers.

Radiant Historia is way overrated and mediocre at best.

The battles are cool at first but become way repetitive.
There're like 3 songs in the whole game.
Everyone touts the multple story lines, but really it's hella linear. Just one straight line disguised as 'parallel timeline' with some braching lines, but there's only one right way to go and it's obvious while playing. The braches are more like dead ends than alt endings.
I remember choosing wrong things on purpose just to fill in a slot.
Overall not worthy of the circlejerk surrounding it.

I will say the characters were interesting from what i remember.
