User:Element Knight 375/Gaming Forum

Hello, visitors and members! My nickname is Element Knight 375, an avid fan of Game Ideas Wiki. I'm the writer of several pages, such as The Element Chronicles, Pixel Fighters, and Star Wars Battlefront III, and this Forum began when I communicated with senior members, such as Ouroburos,TheNewSaurian and Geniusguy445, regarding my work and whether I should join the wiki.

Geniusguy graciously extended a personal invitation to create an account and join the community, but I convinced him to let me stay anonymous from an official standpoint for security reasons. However, I provided a nickname, Element Knight 375, for them to address me by, and shortly afterward they gave me permission to establish this, a Discussion Page, for people to give their opinions on once-a-day questions through the extremely quick, extremely easy, and extremely informal process of editing. And even now, after creating an account, I continue to expand it, and you great contributors out there keep responding!

So here's how this works: for every day I visit the site, I will come on to this page, type that day's date, and post a question for that day, regarding everything from what game you would want made the most, from a good bout of "Who would win in a fight?". If you are intrigued by a question, just click "Edit Page" at the top next to the title, scroll down to the question you want to answer, start a paragraph, and then make up a nickname for yourself. This name can be on-the-spot or established, but you don't have to make an account. From there, you just write up your answer, hit publish, and then it's open to the public. If your answer is really good, then I, Element Knight, or some of the other contributors might respond to it. If you have a question you'd like me to ask, go to the bottom and post a comment telling me (also account-free). Are you ready? Here goes!

 * I think it would be when Zack died in Crisis Core.  Mainly it was that music that played... "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:57, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * The end of Super Mario 64. It was just so dang hard *cries into lap* ravejammers
 * It's a tie between Marvel vs Capcom and Street Fighter X Tekken. Wish there would be a Marvel vs DC though... &#34;You would not believe your eyes...&#34; BlueSaga (talk) 00:46, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * SSB. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:57, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

01/08/14: How many times would you lose in an almost impossible game before rage quitting?

01/09/14: If Kingdom Hearts had a complete remake, what Square Enix or Disney character do you think should be in it?
 * Princess Garnet of Final Fantasy IX and, umm... Wreck It Ralph? &#34;You would not believe your eyes...&#34; BlueSaga (talk) 00:46, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

01/11/14: What Pokémon game has your favorite music?
 * Kanto and Hoenn have my favorite Pokémon Music. Love the Pokémon March if your looking for specific favorites. &#34;You would not believe your eyes...&#34; BlueSaga (talk) 00:46, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I adore the music from XY, like the rival battle theme.  Although, the gym leader battle theme from Gen 1 was pretty great. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:57, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

01/12/14: What two games do you think would make a great crossover?

01/13/14: If every game idea on this wiki were real, which one would you want the most?

01/14/14: If Nintendo, Square Enix, Capcom, or any other game company were on this wiki, what game do you think they'd develop? 01/15/14: Would you prefer an arsenal of weapons over tons of magic spells? 01/20/14: Should Google make its own game system?
 * I believe if Eutechnyx was to view my NASCAR Racing Series pages, they would consider adding some elements and maybe even bringing the most beloved NASCAR game series back. StrawDogAmerica (talk) 18:03, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's hard for me to actually imagine a company like Nintendo, Square, or Capcom developing a game for something other than money and fan loyalty, but if a smaller company like Sega or Ubisoft were to do an idea, I would expect something like a new Assassin's Creed, a new Sonic Riders, or a different game altogether that they developed alongside a smaller team. "Those wizards are crazy!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:45, January 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a tough one. I think in my opinion i would prefer an arsenal of weapons. Bows, Crazy guns from Borderlands, Plasma cannons, Keyblades. Magic is great in games like Skyrim but other games don't sell it enough for me to give up my Keyblade for it. "Got It Memorized?" TheRealJonezy 16:31, January 16, 2014.
 * Certain weapons would be cool to have, but magic spells could do more and varied things, are instantly accessible, and aren't a hassle to carry around. "These wizards are crazy!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:28, January 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Depends on a number of things. How big is the inventory for each? How much ammo/mana do you have? How easy to get more? What group does technology attacks fall under (Mass Effect)? I'd love both equally. Genius Guy #445  (talk)
 * No Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:46, February 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * NOAP.  SO MUCH NOAP. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:45, February 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * For the record, Google is actually making a game console.
 * F**K. "Who da man" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

02/03/14: If they remade the Virtual Boy to make it have color, be in 3D, and have a longer cord, would you buy it?
 * Well, if there aren't headaches included, sure. BlueSaga (talk) 00:35, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Occulus Rift and whatever Sony is working on is essentially the Virtual Boy. Anyone who says Nintendo isn't innovative is severely incorrect. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:20, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

02/06/14: What is your favorite game that was made before 2005? 02/07/14: What older game series would you most like to see come back?
 * My personal favorite is the first game in the Star Wars Battlefront Series. "Ukrainian, but a manatee..." Ethandabomb (talk) 22:01, February 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would probably agree with that, but I'm also hugely into Jet Set Radio . I wish that series would come back. "These wizards are crazy!" ~
 * Well, if Ice Climbers had a HD remake with better mechanics, I'd totally play it. The Kanto Region of Pokémon would be awesomer if it had a 3D remake, with some new Pokémon. A HD Bomberman and a HD Dig Dug. An HD remake of the original Samurai Warriors. A HD Sonic and Tails. And finally, Diddy Kong Racing in 3D. &#34;You would not believe your eyes...&#34; BlueSaga (talk) 00:46, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm down with that, but I'd also like a return of the old Crash Bandicoot and the old Banjo-Kazooie. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:45, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

02/10/14: What game consumes the most of your time?
 * 130 logged hours in TF2. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:20, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not bad.  I have 315 hours logged in Pokemon X.  Also, I think I have about 150 hours invested in The Elder Scrolls series. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:08, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

02/13/14: Which do you like better, 8-bit or 16-bit music? 02/15/14: Is there a game you want to have simply for the sake of having it, such as part of a collection?
 * 16-Bit, specifically Mega Man X, Super Mario World, and Sega Genesis (Especially Ristar and Sonic 2.)
 * I prefer 8-bit in most cases.  It's more catchy and less fuzzy in the ears.  Case in point, the 8-bit Zelda theme is way better than the 16-bit one in my opinion. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:45, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

02/21/14: What video game song has been stuck in your head most recently? 02/24/14: Have you ever hated a game before you loved it? 02/27/14: Which has better exclusives, PlayStation or Xbox? 02/28/14: Who's your favorite character from a fighting game?
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;Ocean Palace Zone from Sonic Heroes.
 * This song of Little Big Planet that was changed in TearAway. Both are made by MM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_DF7V8bCl4 &#34;You would not believe your eyes...&#34; BlueSaga (talk) 00:33, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would like to take this opportunity to talk about a non-video game example. I bring to your attention Disney's Frozen as an acceptable alternative for soundtrack comparison. Everyone needs to see it. Thank you, that is all. Genius Guy #445  (talk)
 * There's a mashup of Honeycomb Highway (Sonic Lost World) and various songs from JSR and Sonic Rush that is constantly stuck in my head somehow. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:57, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * If it ever gets to the point of hating a game, I usually stop playing. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:46, February 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I've exactly hated a game before loving it; I know my dad has, but not me so much.  I guess if I had to pick something, it would be Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, simply because it was so different from the other two. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:45, February 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * To be honest, Call of Duty 2 and 3. BlueSaga (talk) 02:43, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was waiting for someone to say that. Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:50, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Mega Man 2Kfcnyancat (talk) 01:13, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a question i've been wondering for a few years now. As an avid Xbox gamer, I must say Xbox has some great exclusives like Titanfall and Gears Of War. However, PlayStation has some amazing exclusives over on their side with The Last Of Us, inFamous, Uncharted and lots more. So I think for me it has to be PlayStation. "Make love, not Console Wars" TheRealJonezy 13:20, February 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with PlayStation.  Xbox has some cool exclusived, but the only one I really enjoy is Super Meat Boy, whereas PlayStation has Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, Spyro the Dragon, and more. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:52, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a whole damn lot to choose from. For me it either has to be Smoke or Noob Saibot from Mortal Kombat 9 specifically or maybe Green Arrow from Injustice if that counts. "Where there is smoke, there's fire!" TheRealJonezy 16:53 March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Counting SSB, I'd say Link or Sonic.  If we're talking a fighting gamer's fighting game, I like Ryu or Ken from Street Fighter and Liu Kang. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 18:47, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ling Xiaoyu and Marshal Law from Tekken and Toon Link of SSBB. Not to mention Phoenix Wright from Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. And in PlayStation All Stars, Sackboy or Parappa the Rapper. BlueSaga (talk) 02:43, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Guy from Street Fighter and Asuka Kazama from Tekken. ClarentBloodArthur 21:54, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

03/01/14: What's your favorite idea on the wiki other than one of your own?
 * I really like the Indestructible Death Suit page. It's simple, sharp, and above all well written. User:Dancefighter
 * That page was absolutely well-crafted.  I also liked Salvation a lot even with all the changes it underwent, and I'm a big fan of the classic Nintendo Kart.  I'm pretty jealous of that one. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:28, March 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Indestructible Death Suit was indeed well-crafted. Salvation is awesome too. Nintendo Kart is also pretty good in a Nintendo-fan-list-all-the-characters way. User:Dancefighter
 * I think mine probably had to be Iron Wolf just because of the sheer epicality of the cover art, how well it was described and all those good stuffs. "Got It Memorized?" TheRealJonezy 21:38 March 5, 2014
 * Nintendo Party was one of my favorites, and one of the first pages I saw when i joind this wiki. Actually, since making my account, this was one of the first pages I saw on any Wiki. But, a close second would be Element Chronicles. BlueSaga (talk) 02:43, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * You are awesome.  Let me just say that right now. :D Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:50, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

03/02/14: What's your favorite PC indie game?
 * Probably Game Dev Tycoon. I think we all know why considering the nature of this wiki. By the way, has anyone else played it? If not, I thoroughly recommend it.  TheRealJonezy 21:39 March 5, 2014
 * I played it bro, I felt it was really medicore. I mean it was funny how your Sci-fi RPG game "Tank-nado" would get really awesome review scores, but it felt more like a small flash game than anything else. User:Dancefighter
 * Game corp all the way! I mean, managing a video game company? Come on!!! BlueSaga (talk) 02:43, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Game Dev Tycoon is actually pretty cool.  Never played it, but I've seen a lot of it.  I'm not at all a PC game kind of guy, but I gotta say, Nidhogg and One Finger Death Punch look epic. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:50, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I avoid many indie games, because they feel like glorified flash games you have to pay for. -_- Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:20, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Some of them are great, though. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

03/03/14: What's your most anticipated game of 2014? 03/05/14: What's your favorite Batman game?
 * For me it'd be either Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes or Watchdogs. Watchdogs just looks too good to be true, and with Metal Gear (it's kinda dumb how they split the game into two parts)...well let's just say Kojima is known for making the impossible possible. User:Dancefighter
 * I'm gonna have to go with either the new Mario Kart or the new Smash Bros.  I've always been a Nintendo guy.  Although, Hideo freaking Kojima will probably come out with another masterpiece as USUAL. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 10:24, March 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * So many... South Park: The Stick Of Truth, The Evil Inside, Batman: Arkham Knight, Super SmaSh Bros Wii U. I CAN'T DECIDE! TheRealJonezy 21:41 March 5, 2014
 * Dude, Arkham Knight looks awesome! Even more since Rocksteady is behind it. Also Element Knight Kojima is a master piece (a Metal Gear game that actually feels modern and not overly tedious!!! Joking aside MGS V is going to be the Game to own). User:Dancefighter
 * Kojima is decidedly brilliant.  And it sounds nice that Rocksteady is heading up another Batman.  They seem to get it very right. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:38, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * I am personally really excited for The Stick of Truth or Super Smash Bros. But since Stick of Truth is already out I'll have to go with Samsh Bros. ~CrazieDave
 * Freedom Planet! It's like Sonic, but it's not like Sonic! Kfcnyancat (talk) 01:13, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Arkham Asylum, given I've never played any other. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:33, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Arkham City all the way. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:35, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

03/06/14: Would you like to see another game done in the style of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare?
 * Totally. A Deadliest Warrior game in this style would be AWESOME. "Ukrainian, but a manatee..." Ethandabomb (talk) 01:20, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * That already exists, bro.  I'd personally like to see a Lord of the Rings game like Chivalry.  Up-close and personal swordplay against the background of the LOTR soundtrack would be too good to describe. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:50, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

03/07/14: What's your favorite new game that you've played in the last six months? 03/12/14: What's your favorite game from childhood?
 * One of my favorites has got to be Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition which I acquired a couple weeks ago for the PS4. "Ukrainian, but a manatee..." Ethandabomb (talk) 01:20, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Dust: An Elysian Tail was kinda fun, but I more enjoy Jet Set Radio.  It had amazing atmosphere, interesting gameplay, and my favorite soundtrack of any game.  I can't believe a new one hasn't been made in over a decade. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:50, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, the newest game I've got is Little Big Planet Karting. I'm sure it's be better if I didn't lose the online pass though.... BlueSaga (talk) 06:42, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Mine would have to be either Pokémon X, Super Mario 3D World, Fire Emblem: Awakening or Animal Crossing New Leaf... I haven't checked my town for about a week now... I'll be right back!
 * I played not even the first level of Mass Effect 2, but I'm kinda excited about it now. (haven't played the first one) Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:33, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmn... I guess it would have to be either Splinter Cell Chaos Theory or Out of This World. While both appear outdated today, back then, I invested an incredible amount of time playing and learning all the in's and out's of the two games. User:Dancefighter
 * I'd go with Final Fantasy IX or Mario Party 1. They were both amazing and I still have them in my top 10 list of video games. BlueSaga (talk) 06:42, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, The Sims 1 was my favorite game in my childhood. BlueSaga (talk) 00:35, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I played a lot of movie and cartoon games when I was little, but my favorite ones were always GoldenEye 007, Super Mario World, and Oddworld.  Their flashiness and colors always attracted me, and the latter two are still some of my favorite games. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I remember Oddworld, the first was good (dark, disturbing, yet lighthearted plot), the second was meh (really linear not as cute or charming). And Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath was one of my favorite games on the original Xbox. User:Dancefighter
 * I agree with everything you said, but I actually feel like the second one was less linear than the first one. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:35, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * The second just felt like a let down compared to the first and all the hype. User:Dancefighter
 * Hehehe, Sorry. The Sims just had sentimental value to me. XD

03/13/14:  If you were able to, what video game ideas would you like to become true? 03/14/14: Who's your favorite character in any RPG? 03/19/14: What one game mechanic that you feel game developers just can't get right? 03/20/14: Is there a series you normally like that has gone in a bad direction recently?
 * An idea that's not my own? Hmn, I guess it'd be Indestructible Death Suit. If it was one of my video game ideas (I only have one on here) Echoes: Operation Stranglehold. User:Dancefighter
 * (Answering my own question but well) I would love to see Nintendo Party alive, I mean, why has this not been done yet? And a game idea of my own would be the unique and in-depelovement Dim. Admin: The Locked Dimension User: IsGamer13
 * This is a hard one. I would have to say Element Chronicles or Nintendo Party. Nintendo Party, I mean come on! Next step after Mario Party! And Element Chronicles? Pfft. Who doesn't wanna see that? BlueSaga (talk) 06:42, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * If I had to go with one of my own, I'd go with The Element Chronicles (or maybe Nintendo Party), but if I were to pick someone else's, I'd either go with Indestructible Death Suit or Salvation. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * My own ideas: Sonic the Hedgehog: Equestrian Adventure, The Yoshi Project: Super Mario World 3 , and Brawl: The MS-Paint Hack . Others' ideas: The Legend of Paper Zelda, Pixel Fighters , and Link in Space. Kfcnyancat (talk) 01:11, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Finally someone said Pixel Fighters. Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:35, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait, we're doing our own? I guess I'd like to see Assassination and Almost come to life. BlueSaga (talk) 16:04, March 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm... prepare for a  list: Mario & Luigi, Zero (Alpha & Beta), Marth, Dust, Red, Bishop. As for a fangame... it would be my character (Dim. Admin in its respective game) and the nameless character (where is the name?) from Element Chronicles (love the idea btw) User: IsGamer13
 * I personally like Luigi in the Mario and Luigi games, Mudkip and his evolutionary family and the 'My Unit' character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. But my favourite would have to be Mudkip. Thanks to BlueSaga for reminding me of my favorite SSBB character, Ike ~CrazieDave
 * Quite a few. There is Blue and Prof. Oak from Pokémon. Wakka, Auron, Rikku, and Garnet from Final Fantasy. Lyn and Ike from Fire Emblem. Finally, I'd say Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice from Ace Attorney. BlueSaga (talk) 02:47, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Luigi/Everyone in the Paper Mario rpgs, Fredrick/Joshua (Fire Emblem). Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:33, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I like Frederick and Alm from Fire Emblem, Sheogorath and J'zargo from The Elder Scrolls, Fidget from Dust, and if we're counting Pokémon, Aegislash and Charizard. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:35, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't decide which of the Investigation Team in Persona 4 I like the most ;) ClarentBloodArthur 22:09, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Um, swimming. Especially looking at the Mario series. -_- -_- -_- Genius Guy #445 (talk)  19:33, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Horses and bikes.  For God's sake. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:35, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Laser Guns. They never have the same "OOMPH" of non-laser guns and are often clones of Machine Guns. Kfcnyancat (talk) 22:32, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Everything in Ice Climbers and character flight. Cure! Dia! Poisona! (talk) 22:45, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's pretty reasonable. Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:06, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmn, I'd say free-roaming. Developers tend to hamfist a lot of dumb collectibles to drive 'free roaming' (usually they don't do anything) placed in dumb places no one in their right mind would actually 'explore' in real life. It tends to give a sort of empty facade over boring places that all look the same. User:Dancefighter
 * I know.  Spider-Man 2 for PS2 hid secret tokens in ridiculous places to make you search around like an idiot.  That kind of thing doesn't add replay value, it just annoys people. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:39, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was thinking more like Assassins Creed or, to a lesser extent, Arkham City. But yeah, it's really annoying to have to break character and 'explore' (by that I mean wandering around into place that "look" like they might have something instead of being genuinely interested in seeing what's there) just because it's "what the game wants". User:Dancefighter
 * I know.  It must be brutal to be a completionist playing games like that. Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:00, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem is that game developers want you to play the games like that. I mean most of those games aren't bad, but they have these numbers, stats, stars, whatever that pretty much tells you that your supposed to collect these things or play the game a certain way. Making collectibles a fun part in a game is a tough nut to crack. You can put them in obvious places (but then it defeats the purpose of having them), you can make them worthless (again it defeats the purpose), or you can have a little chart or number telling/reminding you to collect whatever (but that means the developers knew full well what they were doing and did it on purpose). True they aren't forcing you, but it's a psychological type of manipulation. User:Dancefighter
 * I guess it's somewhat necessary, since doing it any other way is so difficult and time consuming.  Besides, everything in video games is kind of manipulation in a way. Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:32, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Apparently, it was fun to find collectables in Saints Row 4 because they were literally everywhere. The amount of freedom in running around a city like that doesn't force you to find a collectable, it just makes enjoying the transport system more rewarding. Some people do enjoy collecting obscurely placed items. What you guys need to know about games like AC and Batman is they're RPG's. Every since RPG's took off, you have the main story, and you have sidequests. The Sidequests can include exploring the city, looking for cool stuff. Or fighting people. These days, you have free roaming games, which take root from RPG's. Wide open world, only these days there is more action and dimensions to explore. GTA and Saints Row both have missions that can be completed at any time, while giving you time to explore in between. RPG's allow you go through the campaign at your own pace. If you were to play a game like Halo, the campaign is only broken up by gaming sessions. If you were to play a game like Saints Row, you can break it up be gaming sessions and get the story done all at once, or you can explore the world it takes place in. That's what should make a game great. Not finding "number of hours to find every collectible," but number of hours you can spend enjoying the world of the game. The collectibles are just bonuses in my mind. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  18:20, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * ^^ That's pretty much what I was trying to say. I have no trouble with playing the game at your own pace, nor do I have trouble with games that show not tell. But I dislike games that make you "break character" just to find a collectible in otherwise dull places. User:Dancefighter
 * I agree.  If you're going to make a game with a lot of collectibles, make something like Banjo-Kazooie where collecting seemingly mundane items is key to progressing through the game, but it's perfectly enjoyable at the same time, since you get to examine all the little amusing nooks and crannies of each area.

 * Finding collectibles is never really breaking character though. It's just stopping to smell the roses. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would have to say Splinter Cell or Final Fantasy. Splinter Cell is more of a Hollywood B-movie than a believable stealth game like it used to be. Final Fantasy...those games played themselves. User:Dancefighter
 * I've never played Final Fantasy, but I really admire it, and I agree it's depressing how dumbed down it's gotten.  I think Super Mario has stuck with too many templates like Goombas, Bob-Ombs, Koopas, and other stuff as opposed to creating new things.  I feel like Sonic the Hedgehog is off its game a little bit too (although hopefully Sonic Boom is good). "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:39, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not dumbed down, Final Fantasy's always had the same problems in spades, it's the fact that the series never fixes them. The biggest critical complaint about Final Fantasy games is that its combat system produces the same kind of repetitive ‘grind’ that is present in an MMO (also looking at you Borderlands, Fallout, and Skyrim).  The experience system is utterly broken. About halfway through the games, it becames apparent: you can either buy the largest, most expensive sword, or you can run around in the fields killing monsters for half an hour. The effect is exactly the same. As a result, you are never excited to get treasure.  These problems are annoying because they would have been easy to fix, if an insightful producer had been at the helm. The leveling system in the main Final Fantasy games  exists only as a Pavlovian reward; a way to addict you to a repetitive process, like the one in Diablo. In short, Final Fantasy is often as exciting as finding an e-mail from a real person in your spam box. Also Mario is a solid video game franchise that is doing quite well. User:Dancefighter
 *  Mario' s doing pretty well, but that doesn't make me love what direction it's taken.  I've yet to see them do something like Galaxy or 64 that's super-replayable and, well...game-changing.  But believe me, I still enjoy some Mario games.  I love World and NSMBW.  But that's a real problem you're describing with FF.  Even in games like Pokemon that I love, it annoys me when you have to continually grind like an animal looking to obtain too much of a food it likes.  Skyrim does it less I think, but it's still there.  It's an issue in all games with lots of leveling up to be done, but granted, it's pretty hard to make gaining level after level consistently interesting and challenging, especially if you have a lot of characters to level up (in fact, Pokemon and Final Fantasy are poster children for that). Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:00, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Personally, Jak and Daxter. I loved the original. BlueSaga (talk) 01:02, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Never played J&D, but I've played Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper.  Ratchet was solid, but Sly Cooper remains one of my favorite game series ever. Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:00, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah everyone loves Galaxy.  I've had a weird relationship with the Super Mario Galaxy games. I appreciated the creative freedom of setting a game about jumping in space. Yet I disliked the first game's emphasis on animals reminding you to do the thing that you can do at the place where you can do it in order to get the thing the game needs you to want, because getting that thing results in the materialization of the object you need to interact with in order to proceed. Bees telling you that rabbits were looking for something, rabbits telling you that the something they are looking for is near here, the camera panning over to show you a post, the game nudging you: "Remember what you can do to posts? You can hammer them with your butt stomp!" and then you hammer the post and a star-gate-piece-thing appears. You do four more things and you make a star-gate and you fly to a little planetoid where you have to chase a rabbit to get a star. Aren't these rabbits supposed to be the good guys, as the frequent story sequences have illustrated numerous times? GRRR. Anyway FF has always been the poster child for bad MMO mechanics. User:Dancefighter
 * Yeah, I have the same opinions on Super Mario Galaxy.  Except I feel more like it got old after a while. Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:32, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think we need an opinion from someone who's played the games previous to galaxy. I played SM 64, Sunshine and both Galaxies. SM64 was very difficult, all the time. Just beat it recently, never playing it again. The controls were brutal and the camera often shifted when you needed it to stay put, but free roam was great. Sunshine was better for controls, challenges. Camera got less easy to use. Shoutout to rotating when triple jumping then using the hover nozzle. Also, yoshi sucked. I rather enjoyed the creativity of Fluud. I've found gamecube games are just the right difficulty between n64 hard and wii easy. Both galaxies had lots of hints I mostly ignored. 2 player is overly easy in the first, which was corrected in the second. Single player was decent in difficulty, with 2 matching the difficulty of NSMBwii. Easy>medium>super difficult. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was awesome with the green stars, too. And yoshi.  Camera is better in the second because of the straightforward nature of it. Freeroam was an abomination. Overall, I don't think Galaxies ruined the series. Mostly in that they are exactly in line with how Nintendo games overall have evolved. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * For my actual answer, I would say that most series these days are ok, with the exception of most of the recent iterations. We have a bunch of crap sequels in so many series. Castlevania, metroid, Tomb Raider, etc. It isn't a trend, yet. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with that. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

03/21/14: If you could meet anyone in the gaming industry (YouTuber, developer, composer, whatever), who would it be? 03/22/14: What game that you really enjoyed has a special place in your heart? 03/23/14: What's your favorite simulation game?
 * Hmn, guess Cliff Bleszinski. Always admired the Gears of War games. Though I disagree with some of his views. User:Dancefighter
 * I'd love to meet Caddicarus.  He's funny and awesome and he knows a lot about what makes a good game.  I'd also like to meet Hideki Naganuma (composer for Sonic Rush, Ollie King, and JSR), Jason Griffith (voice of Sonic the Hedgehog and Cilan from Pokemon) and Lorne Lanning (co-creator of Oddworld). "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:39, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Griffin. Not Tobuscus, but Griffin. I'm a dog person! BlueSaga  01:02, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Would it be cliche if I said Metal Gear Solid (1, 2, 3, Peace Walker)? User:Dancefighter
 * The original Sims. I cried when my sister got it scratched. But then, there's Little Big Planet. I cried when I got it. Basically, I'm a crier.
 * I'm gonna say Super Mario World, GoldenEye, or Oddworld.  But if we're talking obscure stuff, I like Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.  Laugh if you like, but it's super-solid for a TV show game. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:00, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not a big fan of simulation games, but I'd have to go with the original Sims on the PS2. It was the only two player Sims game I've played. Cure! Dia! Poisona! (talk) 01:52, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * N/A.  I'm not even going to try to answer. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:49, March 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * A couple flash games, TBH. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

03/24/14: What's your favorite game idea?
 * My own idea, Nintendo Party, Elemental Knight, Sonic Adventure X, for me they're very well done (maybe ecept for my own idea since I haven't finished it yet). IsGamer13
 * My Favorite is Sonic Ultimate World & Sonic Fighting.

03/25/14: Who's your favorite character that only appears in a crossover game? 03/27/14:  Which video game character did you/do you have a crush on? (We won't judge!) 03/29/14: What's your favorite game genre? 03/30/14: What's your favorite music game?
 * Ruby Heart of Marvel vs Capcom 2, or the Bombed, one of the enemies in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Cure! Dia! Poisona! (talk) 01:52, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't really think of anything...although I guess Tabuu and Master Hand are pretty cool. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:49, March 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Idon't know But i Think it's Flick & Hopper From a Bug's Life go into the Sonic V-Games.
 * No way I'm leaving a signature for this! Rikku from Final Fantasy X, Garnet from Final Fantasy IX, and Amy from Sonic Shuffle.
 * Well, get ready: Princess Zelda (big time), Gum from Jet Set Radio (also big time), Fiora from Xenoblade Chronicles, most female characters from Fire Emblem (but mainly Lissa and Cordelia), Rosalina from Super Mario, Aerith from Final Fantasy, and Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite.  I need a girlfriend, guys.  It's a very real problem. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:40, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * ^^ Road trip! User:Dancefighter
 * I would say a full out crush or anything but there are a few gals in Fire Emblem, Trucy, and my own Xbox avatar. Though Peach, Daisy, Rosilina, Samus, Zelda are pretty good in some versions. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't just choose one! I'd go with Make Your Own, RPG, MMORPG, and Simulation. BlueSaga (talk) 00:31, March 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's definitely either RPG or platformer for me.  Anything exciting or adventurous.  Preferably with some good story as well.  Although, to be fair, I also like racing games, creative games, games that are more artistic experience than game, and anything based on physics (particularly ragdoll). "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:50, March 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * It varies, sometimes I like RPG, what I actually like is how a game makes itself more noticeable than the others, take for example, a game I like that is called Touhou is about avoiding everything that goes at you while Mother 3 is RPG and Super Mario is most of the times a platformer. In other words, games that I enjoy to play for one or another fact. IsGamer13
 * I get it.  So basically, games that have a "thing."  Makes sense. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:28, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * The games that let you solve problems creatively: FPS, TPS, Open world games. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I always like that. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

 * Band Hero and DJ hero. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't really play music games.  I like Wii Music, and Jet Set Radio has my favorite game soundtrack. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

03/31/14: Which video game character do you relate to the most?
 * Colress and Patchouli, smart/clever, curious, powerful in its own way and somewhat lazy when uninterested. IsGamer13
 * It's hard to say.  To a certain extent I relate to Link from Zelda in the way that he keeps going in life no matter what.  To another extent I relate to Sonic the Hedgehog in my wisecracking, funny, confident attitude, but it's hard for me to focus on one thing for too long.  In a way, I'm like one of the GG's from Jet Set Radio in that I'm an expressive person just figuring out what to do with my life.  It's hard to nail down a single character. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:28, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I have many mes. there's the Hope of Final Fantasy XIII me. The quiet, creative Sackboy of Little Big Planet me. The co-operative Ice Climber me. The crazy Claptrap of Borderlands me. And the funnny Daxter of Jak and Daxter me. And the always so serious Lightning of FF XIII me.... BlueSaga (talk) 17:01, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Big Boss nuff said. User:Dancefighter
 * I think the TF2 engie. Quiet, brilliant and deadly to those who oppose me. "[sentries] Designed by me, built by me, and hopefully, not pointed at you. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

04/01/14: Who is your favorite video game character that doesn't fight?
 * Buddy the Bellhop from the MySims series. BlueSaga (talk) 00:19, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * DJ Professor K from Jet Set Radio, and basically any mysterious merchant character.  There are probably more, but those are my favorites. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:12, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Phoenix Wright, i guess. So many games feature fighting in some way. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * OHHH Phoenix Wright is cool too. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

04/02/14: Who would win in a fight, Mario or Sonic?
 * Fireballs versus Superspeed? Both of them can become giants... Both have projectiles... yeah, Sonic wins. The power ups are virtually the same, except Sonic has super speed. BlueSaga (talk) 06:32, April 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * The question asked by everyone. I would give the same answer. Depends on the universe; depends on the rules. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

04/03/14: What games do you think need sequels the most? 04/05/14: What game has your favorite general dialogue? 04/06/14: What two games would make a good crossover? 04/07/14: How many times would you lose in an almost impossible game before rage quitting?
 * Final Fantasy IX, it is without a doubt one of the better Final Fantasy games out there, and so many fans demand a sequel, but Square Enix doesn't seem to understand. Also, I'd love for Rival Schools to get a new sequel too. ClarentBloodArthur 12:29, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd love to see another Half-life game also another Battlefront would be pretty cool, I think. Just make it like Gears only bigger and I'd be happy, it doesn't even need to be Starwars. User:Dancefighter
 * I would normally say Battlefront, and I might still if the new one is bad.  Right now, though, my most desired sequel is to Jet Set Radio.  Freakin' beloved series with no bad games that hasn't seen a sequel in 12 years.  I don't get it.  But also, Banjo-Kazooie and Sonic Adventure 2 need sequels. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:12, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

 * MySims Kingdom and Borderlands 2. The characters are CRAAZY! BlueSaga (talk) 17:01, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hard to say Last of Us or Farcry 3. User:Dancefighter
 * Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy, Jazzpunk, and some recent Sonic games have fantastic dialogue. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:10, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Saints Row 3. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem of course! BlueSaga (talk) 22:23, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would be very cool.  Mario and Sonic platformer should be one.  de Blob and JSR should be another.  Chivalry vs. Lord of the Rings should be a thing.  Thief and Mirror's Edge.  Street Fighter and Tekken.  Pokemon and Digimon.  Star Wars Battlefront and Titanfall.  Oddworld and Borderlands.  Elder Scrolls and World of Warcraft even.  There are so many that should happen. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:08, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * What about Fire Emblem and Pokémon? Just imagine Ike and a Metagross running around, tearing down everything ahead of them! CrazieDave

04/08/14: Is there a game you like that few other people do?
 * Touhou, Etrian Odyssey, Mother series. I just like them for the music and for them being pretty epic, some storylines are pretty well detailed. I don't see much people playing neither Touhou nor Etrian Odyssey, but I can understand, the first one is a massive bullet shooting game with amazing music and the second one is a rage-quitting labyrinth-exploring RPG. IsGamer13
 * RPG maker for the PlayStation 1, Roblox (Yeah, It's true...), and MySims Kingdom for the DS. BlueSaga (talk) 06:32, April 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * The Lord of the Rings movie games.  I love them, but nobody ever talks about them. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:55, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

04/09/14: Is there a game you don't like that everyone else does? 04/10/14: Do you think the future of gaming lies with indie games? 04/11/14: If you were to make a game alongside a prominent game dev, who would it be?
 * I don't like Final Fantasy, any DBZ games and... Street Fighter (yes, be shocked). Personally, I love underrated well-made games that offer an interesting gaming experience, not some plain repetitive games that offer the same thing everytime with added properties that offer little to no difference in the gameplay (most of the times, I make eceptions). So sorry guys :(, but I guess everyone has it's taste. IsGamer13
 * I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this but... Bioshock. I don't necessarily dislike the game, but I disagree with a lot of the praise the games have been getting. User:Dancefighter
 * Umm... I never liked Far Cry, I think Pokémon games advance to slowly, and Street Fighter isn't very good since I've played Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
 * I dislike Battlefield, The Sims, and Mortal Kombat mainly.  They just don't hold my interest at all.  I also don't like smartphone games much.  They provide no fulfillment. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 07:55, April 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the love of COD. I appreciate many games I wouldn't play myself, but COD is just... no. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * That one goes without saying. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Most first-person shooters (Like Call of Duty), or Flappy Bird. God damn that game! CrazieDave.
 * Ideally, no. I think we need big companies to power the industry. I think we need many indie companies to inject creativity into the world. If we didn't, we wouldn't have goat simulator. In all seriousness though, we need small companies who make small audience games that big companies just never would. There's plenty of room for both. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  04:17, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with that, although on their current track, big companies aren't going to provide much interesting content. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:15, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Square Enix or Media Molecule. BlueSaga (talk) 20:32, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd love to make a game with Lorne Lanning, co-creator of Oddworld.  He has this amazing appreciation of atmosphere, but realizes that good gameplay is the best way to experience good atmosphere.  You can't possibly work with someone better. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Masahiro Sakurai and his team. Sakurai is the creator of the Smash Bros, Kirby and Kid Icarus games. CrazieDave

04/12/14: What game or game series most influences your work as a whole?
 * Dragon Quest, Street Fighter, and Super Smash Bros.
 * I get a lot of influence from Sonic the Hedgehog as fast-paced games and platformers go, but my templates for adventure games are definitely Zelda and Elder Scrolls. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Metal Gear, Last of Us, Gears of War, Mario. Mostly shooters. user:dancefighter

04/15/14: Have you ever felt the need to finish a game?
 * I HAD TO BEAT COD 3. I HAAAAD TO. BlueSaga (talk) 20:32, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I feel so terrible for you.  I kind of felt obligated myself to beat Assassin's Creed III, my first game in the series.  It was such a compelling story experience that I had to see how it ended.  I had a few late nights in a row with that game as a result. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I feel so bad for both of you! Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker if any of you have a PSP or console (Wii doesn't count) you have to pick it up. user:dancefighter
 * Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The only reason I can't beat the game is because I can't mash the X/Y button fast enough. I've been on the final boss for years now... :( CrazieDave

04/16/14: What do you play when you can't think of anything to play?
 * Roblox, MySims Kingdom, or League of Legends. BlueSaga (talk) 20:32, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I dunno, it varies.  I like playing whatever is easy to pick up and play at the time.  JSR, Sonic, and any other platformer are my usual go-to games. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Super Mario 3D Land/World, depending on where I am. CrazieDave
 * At home usually Arkham City. If not on a console then a small mobile game like 2048 or Badlands. user:dancefighter

04/17/14: What's the one thing in video games that terrifies you the most?
 * Resident Evil gave me Nightmares. ((Shivers)) BlueSaga (talk) 20:32, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * The Twilit Icicle from Twilight Princess. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I will probably never play Fatal Frame again because that's how terrified I am, Woman Hanging and the jumping Headless Priest scare the F out of me *shivers*. ClarentBloodArthur 19:05, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

04/18/14: What's the most unusual item you've used in a game (that isn't simply given to you)? 04/20/14: Who would win in a fight, a character from Terraria or Steve from Minecraft? 04/21/14: What games company do you think could make the best Star Wars video game (other than the dear departed Lucasarts)?
 * In Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Pheonix Wright can pick up serve bots, but they are considered as junk. So, using a servebot as a weapon is mine. Out of all the weird games I play...... BlueSaga (talk) 20:32, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Terraria has a lot of weird items, but as far as weird powers fo, I think the weirdest one is the Wabbajack.  Look it up.  It turns enemies into other, random enemies of random strength.  It can make a fight harder or easier.  That's pretty different. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC).
 * Shield Snatcher (Mother 3), works incredible wonders in the game afterwards and is a very unusual one-time item.
 * Who ever poster the above. I love you. user:dancefighter
 * Before I answer, Minecraft and Terraria look slightly similar, but people will answer depending on which game did they played/liked first, I played Minecraft first and thus didn't liked Terraria a lot (at least I am not fond of it), I say Steve, he can make anything from scratch with a crafting table.  I'm not that familiar with Terraria, but the way I see it, Steve would win. Steve has all this enchanted.... junk like a bow that never runs out of arrows and a sword that knocks you back and sets you on fire. But, if you say from right when they enter a world, it would be a tie. In either world, a monster would eventually kill them in the middle of their beginner brawl. IsGamer13 05:17, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's probably pretty true, but even though I like Minecraft a bit better than Terraria, I still think Terraria guy would win.  If we're talking about the best gear from both games, it's not even a contest.  In my opinion, fiery Sharanga and Flamarang beat enchanted bow, Molten Armor beats Diamond Armor, and a Terra Blade beats a Diamond Sword.  Not to mention Terraria also has machine guns, rocket boots, and spell tomes.

04/23/14: What game that you've played has required the biggest investment of time and attention? 04/25/14: What recent game do you think is overrated?
 * MMORPGs mostly drain out your time and attention, I play some few MMORPGs and they make time fly, Starcraft II is my dad's preference so I play with him sometimes. No other game drains attention like an online game does, an offline game would be Super Smash Bros Brawl (before) and now-a-days Touhou is my preference. I don't invest a LOT of time and attention to games since right now I have things to do, but they drain my time the most (and by saying that I could say they catch my attention?). IsGamer13.
 * I think the games that demand most of my attention are games that aren't exactly replayable, but games that have a ton of depth and content to them.  They preoccupy me with thoughts of what I can possibly do next.  So, you have games like Elder Scrolls, Minecraft, Terraria, and the big one, Pokemon. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:53, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Flappy Bird! It is just another useless addicting game. CrazieDave :)
 * I would like to extend that to every smartphone game.  No redeeming value whatsoever. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:03, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War and Final Fantasy VII, X, XIII and XIII Lightning Returns, that is all. ClarentBloodArthur 07:56, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

04/27/14: What game idea attracts your attention the most? 04/28/14: What game resembles or marks your childhood?
 * We've already been through this, Indestructible Death Suite. user:dancefighter
 * There are a lot of games I loved as a child. If I had to choose I'd say either Battlefront 1&2 or Metal Gear. Both were extremely fun and I always admired the deep (albeit hamfisted) meta-story in MGS. User:Dancefighter
 * Simpsons Road Rage for the GBA. That brings back memories. CrazieDave :)
 * I've said a few times before that I used to play a lot of Super Mario World and Oddworld.  I also liked Plok, the Lord of the Rings games, and a couple of surprisingly well-made cartoon games.  I also played a good few James Bond games.  Back then, I tended to play the same game over and over again for a long time.  I'm nothing like that anymore, strangely enough.

 * Paper Mario series resemble my childhood, I always get nostalgia from them :), other few games I grew up with were Harvest Moon (my cousin played it and I got used to it) and maybe Mother 3. IsGamer13
 * Final Fantasy X. Best days ever!BlueSaga (talk) 16:23, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

05/01/14: What's your favorite third party game company?

05/02/14: What game do you think has the worst controls?
 * The Simpsons Skateboarding has one of the most terrible controls I've ever played, for me it was as if there was no point in making the game in the first place. ClarentBloodArthur 18:54, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Welcome to practically every game based on a TV show.  Surprisingly, I think the first Mario game and Sonic 2 and 3 have pretty bad controls.  Mario 1 because building momentum feels awkward, and Sonic because butting spin dashing and rolling into a ball on the same button is incredibly frustrating in a game that requires precise controls. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:13, May 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * As well as being the most hated game I've ever seen in my entire life, the controls for the City of the Lost Children video game for PlayStation are horrendously just as bad, the endless sounds of that kid going "I can't manage it." and "I can't do anything." repeatedly and never ending is enough to throw the game disc where it belongs: in the trash!!! ClarentBloodArthur 07:50, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

05/03/14: What main character in a game do you think is the most useless? 05/04/14: What game genre do you hate the most? 05/05/14: Should Mario stay as Nintendo's mascot?
 * Off the top of my head, the standard Cubic Ninja from "Cubic Ninja". CrazieDave :)
 * Mark from Monster Party.  He just hits things with a tiny baseball bat.  I couldn't think of anybody else. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 09:20, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hope from Final Fantasy XIII. BlueSaga (talk) 16:23, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Shooters and tycoons. I lost my taste for tycoons, and never really had one for shooter games. Only exceptions: Having to beat COD 3 and Game Corp. BlueSaga (talk) 16:23, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Simulators and tycoons.  Anything that requires long bouts of micromanagement is excruciating to me.  They just don't have enough immersion.  Although, I do like games like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy for their atmosphere and character development. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:13, May 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Mario is Nintendo's key franchise. Everyone loves Mario! user:dancefighter
 * Meh.  I feel like Mario's a bit overplayed these days, as charming as he is. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:18, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

05/06/14: Is Sega going downhill?
 * Well going by their recent Sonic games... I"d say so. User:Dancefighter
 * Not really.  They have a lot of great franchises, and their Sonic games aren't necessarily anything to go by.  Sonic is always trying new things, which is why it's had such serious ups and downs. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:18, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

05/07/14: What is your favorite crossover sports game?

05/09/14: What is your favorite strategy game?
 * Hands down Company of Heroes. Really fun online and some excellent unit mechanics. Also Rome: Total War. User:Dancefighter
 * Call me a cliche, but my favorite is Fire Emblem: Awakening.  It's just an amazingly crafted game. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:18, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

05/10/14: If someone on this wiki was from Sony, who do you think it'd be?
 * ? User:Dancefighter
 * Robert, I guess?  I dunno, he likes the PlayStation quite a bit. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:18, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

05/11/14: Is there a game with bad ratings that you absolutely love? 05/12/14: What is the least popular game that you play?
 * None, but I know plenty of games with excellent reviews that I think are terrible. User:Dancefighter
 * No, usually poorly rated games are poorly rated for good reason. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 08:18, May 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Really? None? huh. MySims has bad ratings, and I play it every now and then. BlueSaga (talk) 01:53, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

05/13/14: What is your favorite old school game? 05/14/14: Should Pokémon just stop? 05/15/14: Do you hate the newer Final Fantasy games? 05/17/14: Would you like to see a Super Meat Boy sequel?
 * Ice Climbers. The bad mechanics gives it a challenge. So that, or Bomberman, A great classic. sulsul! (talk) 01:56, May 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * The original Legend of Zelda.  It's astonishing how well that game's held up.  It's fun even 30 years after its release.  Other than that, I like Mario 3, Mario World, and Sonic 1. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:26, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think they should make a GenVII and mix all the regions in one game, raise the pokemons to 999 and make it come to a fair end at least, I doubt there are gonna be any original or nice-looking pokemons starting from 1k+, everytime you would go into a diff region, you store your pokemons on the PC, choose another starter and explore the region. IsGamer13
 * I don't know.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Pokémon fan.  I've completed the newest Pokedex in about 3 months.  But I don't want it to get to the point where Game Freak is reaching to make new Pokémon and new additions to the battle system to the point where the series becomes ridiculous.  If they can keep it fresh and interesting, then I think they should keep going. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:26, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with that Gamer. A mixture of all the regions together would be pretty outrageous. And Knight, 3 months? I've never completed any pokedex, espeacially not the one for X and Y. (By the way, are you guys looking forward to Alpha and Omega?)
 * Thanks, I'm pretty proud of it.  And...meh.  I'll have to see more of Alpha and Omega before I get interested in it.  "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:21, May 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't have anything against them. For example, my only problem with XIII was that you could see the enemies before you fought them.
 * Never played any FF in my life, but I hear that they have low exploration value, which sounds like a bit of a problem. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:21, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

05/18/14: Is Halo 5 too many Halo games?
 * Definitely! I thought Halo 3 was a neat way to end the series but now the new series of Halo games is turning the franchise into Halo: Fanfiction. User:Dancefighter
 * I don't know.   Halo' s one of those games people seem to enjoy playing with each other rather than for the story, so I guess sequels are necessary to carry it across consoles.  I do, however, think that Microsoft seems to be milking it. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:18, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

05/19/14: Do you like the idea of a WoW movie?

05/20/14: What lackluster game do you think has potential?
 * Hmn, I don't know if anyone remembers this game, but it's called Endwar. I always thought the game's universe was really interesting, too bad the strategy aspects of the game were shallow and sub-par.User:Dancefighter
 * I think plenty of Sonic games had potential, but were fatally flawed.  Plenty of FF games seem like they have good concepts but poor gameplay.  In fact, I feel like the bulk of lackluster games that aren't outright horrible have some potential.  "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:18, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna have to say GTA V, the one thing that annoys me about the game is the lack of venturing inside buildings, I like going inside a Cluckin Bell or Burger Shot, and I wished you were able to go inside a mall or the stadium. ClarentBloodArthur 15:48, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

05/21/14: What indie games are you looking forward to?

05/22/14: What's your most pulse-pounding gaming moment that you can remember?
 * Taking down The End in MGS 3. User:Dancefighter
 * Fighting Skeletron Prime in Terraria.  Boy, was that stressful. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:18, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Fighting Ur-Child on Etrian Odyssey or when I was beating Claus (spoilers) on Mother 3, the first one got me so many countless tries and the second one made me cry like a baby when I beat it :( IsGamer13

05/23/14: What game has your favorite turn-based combat?
 * Well the only turn based game I've ever played was X-com. So, I guess that one.User:Dancefighter
 * I like Pokemon for that, but as far as strategy games go, I love Fire Emblem. "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:18, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

05/24/14: Have you ever caused a hilarious glitch in a game?

05/27/14: Who would win in a fight, Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender or Dust from Dust: an Elysian Tail?
 * (First, goodness me who else knows about Elysian Tail? :O, seriously OMG I thought I was one of the very few I played it) I'd say Dust :D He's badass enough and has literally 2 souls ^_^ IsGamer13
 * Yeah, probably.  He has Ahrah as well, so he has the close-range advantage.  "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:35, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

06/01/14: Would you be up for another Mortal Kombat game?

06/05/14: What game has your favorite PvP mode?

06/08/14: Who's your favorite robot in video games?
 * Its a very close call between Aigis (Persona 3) and R-110 (TimeSplitters), I can't decide who I like better. ClarentBloodArthur 15:31, June 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ruukoto, Ms. Marshmallow, the silly robot maid-thingy from Mario Galaxy/2 and probably Xenon haha. IsGamer13
 * Mega Man!  SUPER FIGHTING ROBOOOTTT! "Who da man?" Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:35, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

06/12/14: What are your reactions to E3 2014?
 * Positive! User:Dancefighter
 * There are so many things I can't wait for, honestly.  Nintendo had a great year, and games like Sunset Overdrive and Dying Light actually look quite inventive and fun. "If the streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

06/13/14: What are your thoughts on Mortal Kombat X?

06/17/14: Do you like the idea of an open world Zelda game?

06/18/14:  Has there ever been a game review that you disagreed with?
 * Pretty much every MGS4, Bioshock, and Skyrim review on the internet. User:Dancefighter
 * Not really, but I definitely think major game review companies (IGN) toss out waaaay too many high ratings.  I can't believe they rated Zelda: Skyward Sword 10 out of 10. "If the streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * ^^ Agreed. User:Dancefighter

06/28/14: What kind of monsters do you think should be in the upcoming game Evolve?

06/29/14: What's your favorite game for PvP action?
 * Titan Fall and BF4, kick-ass multiplayer shooters. User:Dancefighter
 * I love Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy PvP.  Best multiplayer in all of Star Wars. "If the streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * League of Legends!

07/06/14: What's your favorite parkour game?

07/11/14: What's the best gaming related gift you've ever gotten for your birthday?
 * A PS4, thanks Mom and Dad! User:Dancefighter
 * My Wii U.  I didn't even ask for one! "If the streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:49, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

07/15/14: What existing game franchise do you think would be better with VR tech, like the Oculus Rift?

07/16/14: Is there a game you loved unexpectedly?
 * I was surprised by how much fun I had with Assassin's Creed 4. It's not the best, but it is certainly the most well-polished Assassin's Creed game I've ever played (meant as a compliment). User:Dancefighter
 * I liked New Super Mario Bros. U more than I thought I would.  It was way more interesting and challenging than the Wii version. "If the streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Another game that surprised me was The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Not 20 minutes in—I have no shame about this—I almost cried. The game feels stupidly perfect. I'm genuinely scared of how much I like this game. User:Dancefighter
 * I know!  That's one of the few games I can't think of a single complaint with. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:49, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm absolutely in love with the game! In the first 20 minutes, I was in the first dungeon. The Eastern Palace—is flat-out Perfect Action Game Level Design. The action never leaves this game. Every button press results in a thing which feels good. With Link Between Worlds, someone at Nintendo must've saw fit to tinker with the particulars of Link to the Past's action mechanics. It's tighter and snappier now. You're not afraid to use the bow and arrow or bombs anymore. The game is so free and action-packed. And that first dungeon is amazing. The action is so fast-paced, the puzzles massage the brain in just the right measure. This is as good as I've ever seen a game like this. It's different with Ocarina of Time. Most people call Ocarina of Time a classic, landmark video game. I just like Link Between Worlds better. User:Dancefighter
 * The thing I like best about Link Between Worlds is since you can rent items, you don't have to progress halfway through the game just to go exploring.  It puts the game confidently in the player's hands. Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:08, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that too. User:Dancefighter

07/20/14: Is there an anime you think should be made into a game?
 * No. This question's a duplicate of question date 9/22/14. AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Air Gear, no question. Would make a cool game for sure. Element Knight 375

07/21/14: What games have you completed 100%?
 * I can't think of any. The Sims 2 and 3, those're endless. SimCity 4? Endless too. Cities XXL, again endless. Candy Crush Saga, hell no! Elder Simulator, endless. Game Dev Tycoon? Endless yet again! Hungry Shark Evolution, no. NBA 2K12/13/14/15, again, endless. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, no. See my point? AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've completed a number of LEGO games and both Jet Set Radio games 100%. Fun times. Element Knight 375

07/22/14: What's your favorite game to speedrun?

07/26/14: What's your favorite area in any open world game?

07/30/14: Which do you prefer, the PlayStation 1, or the Nintendo 64? 07/31/14: Which do you prefer, the first Mario game or the first Sonic game? 09/12/14: Is there a game that gives you the shivers? 09/16/14: Are you disappointed by the lack of Ice Climbers and Pokémon Trainer in Smash Bros. 4?
 * PlayStation, no contest. ClarentBloodArthur 09:58, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nintendo 64. Sure the Playstation is good and all, but I play Nintendo games three times as often. I love Pokemon Stadium and Mario Party, I still have them! Nintendo 4eva!
 * It's kind of a tie for me.  I had both growing up, and I played games on both of them.  PS1 had Oddworld, Crash Bandicoot, and Toy Story 2, but N64 had GoldenEye and Ocarina of Time, so I can't choose.  "If these streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:05, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * The first sonic game. In that, mushrooms didn't constantly tell you that the princess in somewhere else. Gosh... -CeruleanCity
 * I prefer the first Sonic game honestly.  It was harder to get through, but I found it more interesting than Super Mario Bros..  Better controls, too.  "If these streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * The first Super Mario Bros. I don't have a Sega console emulator. AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Five nights at Freddy's.... with no sound.... (brrr....) -CeruleanCity
 * Five Nights at Freddy's with no sound actually sounds terrifying.  Every horror game gives me the shivers, but in terms of things I actually play, Elder Scrolls sometimes give me chills. "If these streets could talk, what poetry they'd tell." Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:33, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Fatal Frame, just Fatal Frame. I dare not play the game until I muster a hell of a lot of courage to keep going (-_-') ClarentBloodArthur 17:58, September 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * No. I don't play Super Smash Bros. anyway. :P AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Not really, and I have good reasoning. One of the main reasons Smash is still around is to promote certain brands that are doing well, so if some less relevant characters have to be bumped, I'm OK with it as long as the new ones are well implemented. Element Knight 375

09/17/14: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Wii U? Which is better than the rest?
 * I haven't used all three. Xbox One? AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm going with Wii U. It has the best games, and lots of interesting features the others don't seem to have or do as well. Element Knight 375

09/18/14: Which has the better games? PlayStation or Nintendo?
 * Did you mean "Sony or Nintendo" or "PlayStation or GameCube/Wii"? PlayStation games are awesome btw. AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I meant the games of the two console brands over their entire histories, so I suppose I meant Sony VS. Nintendo, but I wanted to clarify. I prefer Nintendo, but Sony is still awesome, and has lots of memories for me. Element Knight 375

09/19/14: Do you think console gaming has a positive future?
 * No. Mobile gaming is becoming strong; and PC gaming is still strong! AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe it does. I think the mobile and PC markets have enough drawbacks that consoles will be safe for the foreseeable future. Element Knight 375
 * I was reading a book about writing for video games and they made an interesting point: When people play games on consoles, it's in front of their TV in their comfy spot because they want to be entertained. PC games are set up on your computer, in a workspace area, so players expect an immersive, focused challenge. So as long as people want to be entertained, which they DO, consoles have an audience. Like me :) -- OniKisaki
 * Interesting, but what exactly do you mean by "entertained?" Do you mean they play something with an interesting characters and story as opposed to intensive gameplay? Element Knight 375
 * I think the point was that players expect to WORK at a PC title. I don't play PC games, so I haven't noticed the difference firsthand. But, yeah, you're probably explaining it better. OniKisaki

09/22/14: Is there an anime you think should be made into a game?
 * No. You just repeated question on date 7/20/14!! AStranger195 (talk) 01:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry. It's just no one answered that question, so I decided to repeat it.  Element Knight 375
