About You: Video Games

I am trying this, since I love making lists. And this is a very interesting list to make. I stole this idea from my dear friend FallenGrace, who in turn got it from someone else.

Like him, I will be trying to pick different games for each question, because otherwise, there would be a lot of Planescape.

Sidenote: I left out the Guilty Pleasure Category, since I never feel any "guilty pleasure". I just feel pleasure.

Favorite Game of All Time

This was kind of obvious. And it's not close. At all.
Favorite Game Series

My love for this series kind of cooled down a bit over the years, but it is still my favorite series, by a long shot.
Best Soundtrack

The piano pieces in this one are so spectacular.
Favorite Protagonist

Chai is just an absolute Bro and has some of the most satisfying character development ever.
Favorite Antagonist

Caesar and his Legion haunt my dreams to this day.
Best Story

...
You love, everyone hates

I will defend this game to my very violent death in combat.
You hate, everyone loves

Similar to the person I stole this list from, really a lot of games could go here, including most Metal Gear Titles and a lot of entries in the Final Fantasy Series, but I choose this, because it is by far the most infuriating. I always hear everybody swooning about this game, all while being left out.
Games You didn't think You would like, loved

Usually SpaceSims are really not my genre. But FTL blew me away.
Best Artstyle

Just look at it. Nothing brings back the good old days this beautifully.
Favorite Ending

Again, a lot of games come to my mind, but I choose this one, because I hated it at first and then grew to love it. And that makes it really special.
Favorite Boss Fight

The Edge. After the headache-inducing nightmare of frustration that was The Burst, this one made up for all of it.
Childhood Game

This was the first one that made me realize how awesome and fun video games could be.
Most Relaxing

Come on. Even the introduction on the screen says so.
Most Stressful

SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT
SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT
Most Depressing

The ending is... questionable to say the least, but the way this game depicts trauma and depression is so genuinely staggering that the trigger warning upfront should actually be taken seriously for once.
Most Fear-Inducing

Sae. Oh God, Sae.
Most Cheerful

Hehehehehehehehe, big monke.
They fucked up the sequels

I want to cry every time I think about this.
Hate Game

This is the very first game to actually, genuinely offend me.
Tons of Hours Played

I unlocked everything in this game, then deleted my file, unlocked everything again, deleted my file again and then unlocked everything again.

I have not played this for years, but it might very well still be the game I sunk the most hours into.

I approve of Fatal Frame II! That game still scares the hell out of me! 😂

Great list, love seeing people's different tastes here. I know you well enough to know Planescape would be here :)

Yeah!

Oh God, Fatal Frame II XD

In that section when the Screen goes all black and white because you get chased by Sae, and then you LOSE the camera obscura and hide in that Laundry Room... mate, do you know how long it took me to dare to peek out of that FUCKING Laundry Room?
