[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 1271532, member: 115"] Snagged shamelessly from the Movies forum. :) I'm gonna put a restriction on it though - please use specific games, and not entire genres. Everyone has genres they do and don't like. I'm talking real specific games. My first would be GTA3, and Vice City. I bought GTA3 on the advice of a friend, and just didn't find anything I really liked about the game at all. One of my roomies (later on) bought Vice City, and while the story was a bit better, the game still just didn't appeal to me. My second would be Dark Alliance. I didn't think the story was all that great, I thought the gameplay was repetitive and done much better in Diablo II. I had a lot of fun with it in the first few hours, but after a while it just got stale. My third is going to be a "safe" choice - FF7. Putting perspective on it (despite rants on other threads) I didn't think 9 and 10 were bad games. Vivi owns my soul. :) I know a lot of it is nostalgia factor - it was a lot of people's first RPG. I just found the story to be a little too goofy, especially towards the end concerning Cloud and Sephiroth. None of the characters really grabbed me at all. In fact, the only thing I liked about the game was the thing most people didn't - the very ending. Finally, I'm going to round out my choices with Halo. It looks pretty, but it doesn't seem to me like it really did anything innovative beyond that for FPSs. I played it, and it rang decidedly meh. Admittedly, I haven't playing it with other people, and that's biasing my decision a bit, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
