Ever notice a lot of people have the same handfuls of games as their favorite of all time? This taste in games seems incredibly boring, they they just like what's fed to them and do no work to find new games for themselves. To me, I think this leads to a lot of the lazy mentalities that there's "nothing good ever made today."

I see it often in real life with people listing the same handfuls of games, zelda, mgs, etc. as their favorites. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of these are great games but you can't even mention games that are similar they might enjoy because they have no idea what you're talking about. Same goes for Holla Forums, and it's a little frustating dealing with hordes of people who like the same handful of games. It's always morrowind, deus ex, vtmb, etc. It's very boring seeing these games around, and makes the person who clamors for them look equally uninteresting.

Is that the most boring taste for someone who is interested in games to have?

Usually it's not about actual games it's about approval whoring

yes, and what is more uninteresting than everyone having the same taste in games? To me, if any of these "approved" games are in your top 10 I'm much less inclined to want to engage because you have nothing interesting to add or talk about.

Hi Holla Forumseddit

Not my favorite but I wish to see more discussion about not so much talked about ps2 and xbox games

Kinda jealous

Glad as hell. I don't want cancer surrounding my favorite game either.

I don't have a singular "most favorite" game because there's a shitton of genres and a lot of videogames in general and comparing them against each other is often like comparing apples and oranges.
I do, however, have a favorite FPS. Or a TPS. Or a racing game. Or an RTS. Hence the multiple favorites you baiting retard

of having a father or having an overly expensive pc?


I think this would be nice, and it's great to have these games that may not be great, or even good, but may do something great worth mentioning. Comparing and contrasting what it does right or wrong can give a very beneficial perspective on games in general.


most of my favorite games were discovered well past my childhood. I think the only one that really stuck was doom.

The only excuse as I see it comes from say Counter Strike being a more effective ice breaker then Maiden Rape Assault Violent Semen Inferno or whatever.
Then there are shitters who just lack the initiative to try new games.
