Shame in the video game time.

[Tintenfisch]

We all have our secret shames When playing video games, from not be able to complete a level because it scares you, or just playing poorly. List them here.

I have gotten a game over on yoshis story

I could never get past the 3rd (thunder) gym in Pokemon Emerald

I couldn't beat Command and Conquer on Easy (or get past level 10)

It took me 20 minutes to beat the first boss in Twilight princess because I couldn't figure out the proper way to beat him.

I play WoW.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I tend to make female characters in (most) games that allow you to do so.

If there's no difference between a male and female (like Etrian Odyssey) then I always make a team of all female characters.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I've never been able to beat Kefka.

When I was a kid I moogle charmed my way through the game and my party was mighty underleveled by the time I got to him.

All my modern playthroughs have petered out before I've even gotten to the world of ruin.

THERE YA' GO.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

Oh, I totally favor women characters in games, and more often than not will make a female character as well as a male in a game.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

Ive spent well over 400 hours on FF7, 50 of those were trying to beat Emerald Weapon, another 50 was trying to beat Ruby Weapon, and about 100 was spent at the casino.

i've used vibrating controllers for illicit purposes

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I've spent 120 days on FFXI so far, and I've just bought the newest expansion for it.

I've played FFT and FFXI at the same time before. I've considered trying to play FFT, FFXI, and FFXII all at the same time too.

I never played the original 4 Megaman games all the way through.

My video game library is 3x smaller than my girlfriend's.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I used to get so angry at Street Fighter 2 for the SNES that i would bite and break my controllers.

I've never finished about 95% of my video game collection, although i dont think that is really a secret shame.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

the only Final Fantasy I ever beat was 7.

I have also never beaten Chrono Trigger. or EarthBound. Even though I know how they end.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

Mild shame:

• I tend to make female characters in (most) games that allow you to do so.
  
• I love Animal Crossing more than an adult male should.

Ditto and ditto.

If there's no difference between a male and female (like Etrian Odyssey) then I always make a team of all female characters.

FFTA: Viera FTW.

And you think your Monster Hunter was bad....DC PSO: at least 700 hours, granting you online play. Xbox PSO: Close to 500 hours, mostly solo.

And Morrowind: 600 hours between 3 characters.

Sad, sad, sad.


As for the female thing, all of my characters in Rock Band are female, so it's a bit weird using those characters for the first time with other people I know in real life...because, well, people in real life do not visit the Playground.


Also, I referred to my walk from my department at work to the employee hold area on the other end of the store with my newly-purchased Wii in a bag over my shoulder as the "walk of shame." I mean, yeah, I verbalized this out loud to everyone who would listen.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I couldn't beat FFX on my own so I just beat it on my friend's file. But if someone were to ask me if I beat it, I would say yes.

Also, I used to lick my gameboy screen in supreme rage when I'd die on the portable Zelda games.

And, I once couldn't beat a level in Tiny Toon Adventures, so I threw my controller at the system breaking the cartridge in half. Surprisingly, the game still worked.

[Vonwert]

Re: Shame in the video game time.

I have never beaten a Megaman game before.

I only make female characters when they look good and the males don't.

If I am able to, I will have one male main character and have the rest of the party be female.

Re: Shame in the video game time.

Ive spent well over 400 hours on FF7, 50 of those were trying to beat Emerald Weapon, another 50 was trying to beat Ruby Weapon, and about 100 was spent at the casino.

...How does it take fifty hours to beat Emerald and Ruby?

And Morrowind: 600 hours between 3 characters.

If that is a shame, then I share it if not more. 623 or so hours on a single character.
I spent a lot of time uncovering useless map areas...

Also, I used to lick my gameboy screen in supreme rage when I'd die on the portable Zelda games.

What flavor was it?

Re: Shame in the video game time.

Now, as for Rock Band, I have 3 characters created. All of them are male. For some reason.

I have just plain old Rick, who's my guitarist. I have Irish Daigle, who's my singer. And I have Richard Falcon, who is my black drummer with Mad Max / Thunderdome attire.
