Your Guilty Pleasure Games

[Watcher]

Soldier of Fortune: Payback is probably the only game I'm aware of where a single 9mm round can cause someone's head to explode upon impact. Raincoat and mop not included.

You should try out the previous two Soldier of Fortune games.

 

[Nova Prospekt]

Farm Frenzy 2...and 3.

I'm still trying to get a gold score in every stage.

"Friday The 13th" for the NES.

I still play rollercoster tycoon, I'm 24.

The ride never ends.

 

[Kamen Rider Black RX]

Final Fantasy X and the Bloody Roar fighting games.

Final Fantasy X and the Bloody Roar fighting games.

Just wondering, how are the Bloody Roar games a guilty pleasure for you?

Just wondering, how are the Bloody Roar games a guilty pleasure for you?

Because my skills are so great every fight is a crime against my enemy.

JK.

Truth is I suck, suck, suck at fighting games. Just too much to memorize unless I want to play cheap or button mash. Bloody Roar's controls are...very simple. Easy enough I could probably play them drunk off my ass. That's it really, I'm good at an uncomplicated fighter where people turn into wereanimals.

I guess the DOA series as a whole could count as a guilty pleasure since most of the gamers I talk to seem to see it more as a punchline than actual fighting games. But the two beach volleyball games are definitely guilty pleasures for me. I've clocked a rather obscene number of hours into the first one and I was actually intent on collecting all of the swimsuits.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for PS1. I was never as big of a Yu-Gi-Oh/Duel Monsters fan as I was Pokemon, Digimon, and Monster Rancher back in the day, but I enjoyed the mechanics of the game and it was so satisfying to knock off 6000+ LP in one blow with a buffed Black Meteor Dragon. I still have my copy that I had since I was 14 and I still sometimes play this on my PS2.

I also still play Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2, or at least I did before my PC broke.

I always loved playing the Halo games, especially 3. I remember playing custom matches like "Fat Kid" with my brother almost all the time. Halo 4's single player was fun to play even if it was a little short.

I would say the game I liked that no else did was Sid Meier's CivCity: Rome a city building game. I loved the fact you could see into the rooms of the various buildings, but most people thought the game was pretty boring. I also like the old Sierra games Pharaoh, Cleopatra expansion pack, Zeus, and most of the other themed city building games of the late 90's and early 00's.

I loved Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom despite the shitty graphics and overwhelming silliness of it all. It's about collecting socks and underwear, golden spatulas, and surviving the robot apocalypse. Here's my favorite part of the game

also not gonna lie, I'm way better then the guy in the video at this part

 

[John Titor]

I don't have any games I'm too embarrassed to admit to playing so I guess the closest thing I have to guilty pleasure is Dynasty Warriors? In a way that when people bring up the flaws, I shrug it off with a "whatever, I'm still having fun".

Just remembered two more guilty pleasure games.

First one is Primal Rage. I've loved primates since I was a kid, and so Blizzard and Chaos were fast favorites. They also appealed to my love of anything with ice powers or toilet humor, respectively. I played the arcade version at a theater near the house I lived in as a kid, and it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I got a copy of the SNES version. It's not the same. I've been trying to get my hands on a PS1 copy off and on for a while now.

The other one is Star Wars Episode I: Racer on N64. My cousin and I played the shit out of his game whenever I came over, but then again we both liked the movie back then.

This game was fucking awesome when I was 8, I'd get home and play the shit out of this.

Hell I might replay it now.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This is one is more hated by the LoZ fanbase itself and personally, I always loved it. People begged for a Zelda game that felt like Ocarina of Time, yet called this game bland. While the art style was a bit uninspired, the game looked fantastic. The overworld was amazing and it's still my favorite in the Zelda series.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

Most of the Lego games, for me. They're addictive and fun, for the most part. There's some I tried that I couldn't really get into, but I 100% completed Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars, and Lego Marvel.

Just a quick question--have you tried both the Gamecube and Wii versions? If so, which one did you like better? I've always heard that the Gamecube version was the stronger one but I've only played the Wii version.

Aww yiss. I started replaying the first lego Star Wars yesterday.

I really liked the wii version, but that wagon escort is the biggest pain in the ass with a wiimote.

True Crime : Streets of N.Y.C probably counts the most like this in a way.
I mean, I knew the game was bad when I bought it, but I got it anyway because of how buggy it was. Now, while it may seem stupid at first instance, the bugs and glitches made it really fun, because you never really knew what was going to happen and it was just so damn entertaining to go out in the street and live your life as a street cop, being a humongous asshole toward people while still getting "good cop" point by abusing the system. Pretty much every single game session I found new bugs that made playing the game worthwhile even though the story missions were kind of dull as shit.

To reiterate what I was talking about the "good cop"-points system is that the game has a good ending and a bad ending which are ultimately decided on whether you have, in the course of the game,gathered more good cop point or bad cop points. The general divide between getting "good cop" or "bad cop" points is roughly divided into whether you perform non-lethal takedowns or just straight-up murder people or do things like frame people on the street by placing illegal goods on them(you can randomly frisk people on he street and during that, you can plant drugs on them to arrest them even if they don't have anything on them) which net you "bad cop"-points. Anyhow, the "fun" part of gaming the system is that all crimes are equal in the face of the good cop / bad cop system and while you're solving completely everyday life crimes on the street such as domestic violence cases you can be as awful to the people involved as long as you don't kill them. Like yeah, you can shoot everyone in the kneecap for the most minor of crimes and you'll still get "good cop"-points. You can even farm the "good cop"-points by just running around in the street and slapping pedestrians in the face(since you won't get penalized for it) and every once in a while someone'll get angry at you, which rates them criminals even if you instigated the fight and you can grab them, smash their face repeatedly into the window of their own car, then finish them off by crippling them by shooting them in the kneecap and you'll still get all "good cop"-points.

The game was awful, morally kind of horrible and to be fair, a pile of doggie doo on technical standards but it was fun on occasion, back when I was 15,but I wouldn't touch that steaming dog turd today with a ten foot stick. Very much a "guilty pleasure" for me if there ever was one.

I don't have any games I'm too embarrassed to admit to playing so I guess the closest thing I have to guilty pleasure is Dynasty Warriors? In a way that when people bring up the flaws, I shrug it off with a "whatever, I'm still having fun".

Yeah, I loved Dynasty Warriors 2 and 3 and Samurai Warriors as well. I loved the shit out of the games, too bad that none of my friends was really into it,so the only way I got people to co-op with me was usually promising them we'd play "the good games" right afterward .

When I first played True Crime NYC and stopped a crime with lethal force I had some fun but when another cop shot me because he didn't know I was a cop it was funny, when his shotgun killed me and tore my leg off and I revived right where I died and my leg was still there and I used it as a weapon it was the best game ever. And Dynasty warriors is a fun game to play local coop with, its basically the same game each release but that's fine I'm not looking for any radical changes to the formula.

I still like the Angry Birds franchise even though I like the ones which are different from the original "fling and shoot" style more such as Angry Birds Epic and Bad Piggies.
