[11] PS2 (best era of games, dislike most of this generation of games)

[12] RPG, anything with a good(epic) story

[1] Favourite game

Incredibly difficult question. FF7, Suikoden2 are my generic responses. In terms of most time spent, FFXI/MW2/Resistance2. For the purposes of this, I'll choose Suikoden2.

[2] The thing you dislike the most about your favourite game

Lack of challenge and lack of endgame.

[3] The thing you like the most about your favourite game

Very emotional and powerful storyline.

[4] Game you think is overrated

Halo. It did not invent FPS!

[5] Year you were born

1990

[6] First game you played

Sonic 1

[7] First game you completed

Sonic 1, after a couple of weeks (hate you Labyrinth Zone... simple now of course).

[8] Best gaming memory

Another almost impossible question, but Shinra HQ leading to the world map was one of my most amazing experiences ever in FF7. Lots of puzzles and character/plot development all of the way up and then the amazing chase to escape, leading on to the world map which makes the game seem so vast. Incredible sequenece.

[9] The game that you've played that most people haven't heard of

Do the Ecco games count?

[10] Favourite company

Insomniac are pretty incapable of doing wrong, generally speaking.

[11] Favourite gaming platform

PS3

[12] Favourite Genre

RPG/RTS. FPS a close third, platformer a close fourth. I play all genres but sport though. Not much simulation.

Squaresoft (down with company mergers!)

RPG.

[1] Favourite game
Neo-Nectaris

[2] The thing you dislike the most about your favourite game
No map edits or user-created/customisable content (at least not in that version of the game.)

[3] The thing you like the most about your favourite game
The default challenge level is quite high, but player ability to pick up the UI and learn the intricacies of the units and terrain factors ramps up very quickly to match.

[4] Game you think is overrated
Call of Duty

[5] Year you were born
1974

[6] First game you played
Pong

[7] First game you completed
Most old games in the 80's didn't have an actual ending, and would just keep looping over and over. Maybe the first real one to finish was Archon.

[8] Best gaming memory
Finishing CAPCOM's "Alien vs. Predator" arcade game. For me, it was one of the first "gripping" action games that had such strong character designs and exciting/varied battles that just felt so immersive, I could lose myself in the action. It made me start to pay attention to which companies made the different games, as an indication of quality.

[9] The game that you've played that most people haven't heard of
EA's Mail Order Monsters

[10] Favourite company
CAPCOM

[11] Favourite gaming platform
Sega Saturn

[12] Favourite Genre
Turn-based strategy games

Interesting no ones said FFXI as their favourite game, and this is considering they've probably put more hours into it than any other.

[1] Favorite game
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

[2] The thing you dislike the most about your favorite game
Getting to the end because there is no more adventures to be held... until I replay.

[3] The thing you like the most about your favorite game
The story, the challenge, the puzzles, the characters. The quality of the gameplay and how even after playing it for 19 years I still love it.

[4] Game you think is overrated
World of Warcraft

[5] Year you were born
1985

[6] First game you played
River City Crisis

[7] First game you completed
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

[8] Best gaming memory(s)
Goldeneye 64. All those days/nights burned away with friends killing one another.

But if must be more specific... The day Super Smash Bros Melee was released my friend and I spent 30 hours straight unlocking every character and map and owning one another.

[9] The game that you've played that most people haven't heard of
Gitaroo Man (PS2)

[10] Favorite company
Square Soft.

[11] Favorite gaming platform
Super Nintendo

[12] Favorite Genre
RPG

[1] Final Fantasy VIII

[2] Too easy, Level 30~100 on all chars in less than 40min...?

[3] Story line, And the triple Triad Card game. SO SO SO SO SO ADDICTIVE and extremely fun.

[4] Call of Duty

[5] 87

[6] Pac Man

[7] Super Mario World 2? 1? forgot Super Nintendo...

[8] Ps2 release

[9] Eternal Sonata

[10] SquareSoft(Square Enix)

[11] Sony Playstation

[12] Puzzle/RPG

For me, at least, it's possible to "really like a game" and invest tons of time grinding away at it because it's well-designed and has lots of replay value (like FFXI or PSO as immensely enjoyable time-wasters.)

But at the same time, the qualification "favourite game"--to me--takes into account other factors (aside from quality of design and replay value) such as graphics, immersion, challenge level, excitement of play, etc. So the fave game I listed had actually marginal replay value at most, and thus only a fraction of time spent compared to FFXI, but was the most fun I had (overall) while playing. :p

EDIT: And, plus, I've cursed FFXI to Hell way too many times while playing it for it to be my favourite game. :p

Not the same.

Sadly, since i liked quaresoft i was FORCED to like enix

You're never forced, sir. Don't give into the Enix! Soft was the one that gave us the memories.

[1] Fav. Game: Final Fantasy X

[2] - about game: International version didn't come to NA. ...I guess that's the only real complaint I can think of.

[3] + about game: Replay value, yo~ ...And I suppose the character development.

[4] Overrated: Borderlands

[5] Born in: 1989

[6] First game played: Super Mario World (SNES)

[7] First game beaten: Shining Force II (GEN) (that I can recall)

[8] Greatest gaming moment: That I can think of at this moment, getting the best ending in Cave Story.

[9] Game played that no one's heard of: Ecco II: The Tides of Time

[10] Fav. Gaming Company: SquareSOFT

[11] Fav. Console: SNES

[12] Fav. Genre: RPG

[1] The Secret of Monkey Island

[2] It's gotten stale, and the new rehashes just can't hold a candle. They made Guybrush sound like the town idiot.

[3] For some reason, the puzzles still get me, on occasion. That and the gameplay is just so epic. Even now.

[4] Call of Duty: Black Ops

[5] 1984

[6] Oregon Trail, baby!

[7] Honestly... The Secret of Monkey Island. Coincidence...? Probably.

[8] Gotta love Goldeneye multiplayer.

[9] Shaq Fu. I pwned my brother in that game. He always played the fire beast guy, and I would kick his *** with the green dude with the rags.

[10] Probably Infinity Ward. That ***with Activision just isn't cool. At all.

[11] This one is a tie. Either the PS2, or N64. PS2 got me through a lot of crap (plus, it was the first platform that would play movies and games), but the N64 at the time was fuggin' amazing.

[12] Probably Adventure games. Most of them are all action based, but I still love the old item collect adventure crapola.

back when I was 16, a friend challenged me on a match of Plasma Sword [arcade version] after school, at the arcades. the jerk challenged me one time after another, and I managed to amass 50 victories on my record. He went to get more tokens to play since he was obsessed on defeating me, so I ran out of the arcade before he came back, and the next day he was delusional, saying he won, because I forfeited his challenge, even after facing a 50 consecutive loss. /slap
