I am a PC fanboy (if thats the easiest way to put it) - which bleeds over to enjoying MS as a console of choice. I am a huge simulation & strategy fan. Once I play Civ 4, I will of owned every Civ made + the offshoots (cept for Civ Call to Power). Heck, I play Civ 1 on NES once in awhile. Very upset about the lack of such gaming on PC lately. Unfortunately, due to budgets, I can't afford a great desktop, and am forced to play pre-2003 titles for the most part. Games I play on PC are like: Warcraft 2 Age of Empires Command & Conquer (all the old school 2d ones) Civ(s) Imperium Galactica Capitalism 1/2 (Kawaad, the makers of your beloved X3 made this game before the X series existed) Betrayl series (krondor/antara) More than anything, I am an anti-fanboy. I dislike it when I see someone bashing another system using improper means (justifying the PS3 launch, bashing the 360, downplaying Wiis succuess, PS3 failure, ect). Even if I agree with their argument, I always want to correct poor usage of data. Not only this, I hate how everyone wants to state their absolute knowledge of a certian system's dominance in the future, despite no truth to the statement, as its mostly fanboy pipedreams (since we all know, there's no certainty with what the other 6 billion people in the world are gonna buy) For consoles, I enjoy sim/strategy gaming if possible. On my Xbox, I own Dai Senriaku 7, Shattered Union, Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders among the other typical titles (KOTOR, Fable, Forza, ect). As a Xbox owner, I hate Xbots and Halo lovers. I honestly don't like Halo, and H3 will be lucky to even get rented from me. Anyone to predict the 360 beating the Wii/PS3 smokes crack, and thats illegal where I come from...Despite me feeling like that, I still don't like it when someone says that the 360 will only sell 20m units or some crazy number. But above all else, I am an RPG player. I've either owned or rented about every single RPG from 1985 to 1997 from every major platform. I am a huge Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest fan among others. I own every Squaresoft game on the SNES aside from FF:MQ. I despise the N64 above all systems and hate Nintendo in general for it. The system had 2 RPGs it's entire life. Quest 64 which was the most atrocious RPG made in the past 11 years, and Ogre Battle: Person Of Lordly Caliber, which was awesome. However, only 1 meaningful RPG does not a good system make. I bought an N64 due to Final Fantasy 4 (yes, it was FF4 in the US at the time) screenshots in Nintendo Power. But we all know what happened there. Generally, I dislike Nintendo because they over-do their prime franchises, and don't create enough RPGs. However, Super Mario RPG was a masterpiece...Which shows the need for more RPGs. Yes, you have paper mario, but thats one minor franchise. Fire Emblem never came out in the US when I was still interested in RPGs on Nintendo consoles.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
