This is not even that long ago, but I actually bought and played a couple of the Danganronpa games on my PS4. Those are not my type of games at all, I don't know what possessed me to do that. I'm a grown ass man. Must have been a serious lull in the offerings at the time. Weird, over the top, anime style dialog simulators with paper thin game mechanics, yuck.

What type of video games are grown ass men supposed to play?

Serious. What's the point of hunting platinum trophies if one of your collection is a turd in which all the trophies popped within 9 seconds by the timer on PSN profiles. If I were hunting game, I wouldn't put the head of a house fly on the wall next to the head of a bear. 

I don't know man, I hunt for trophies periodically, I have 12 plats and for most of them I have to thank other people on youtube who I was following step by step with a laptop next to my console. I could have the rarest plats but nobody will know that I took relatively small effort in getting them (except the few people who will read this post and even they won't care).

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Based on friends I have that feel this way it is typically games like Witcher 3 and Red Dead where everyone is an adult and the story arc is super adulty and they spend all their time saying and doing adult things with other adulty adults.

I once blurted out that I was 2000th in the worldwide ranking of Guitar Hero III. Luckily it was to some of my closest friends and it was a response that was supposed to be a joke so nobody thought less of me. Dodged a bullet there.

As a present, I chose Sonic Riders over Smash Bros Melee.

On the same vein, I made Spongebob: Creature from the Krusty Krab my birthday present.

As I've definitely mentioned before, the sheer number of games I've purchased because I was horny. Some were actually good/great games but I've definitely bought some shit. The list includes:

Danger Girl
Rising Zan Samurai Gunman (some magazine said you could play as a female in her underwear)
Beach Spikers
Dead or Alive 1,2, and (after finding out there was a nude code for n Action Replay), Hardcore
Rumble Roses 1&2
BMX XXX
Freestyle Metal X after seeing a two second clip of a playable character in her underwear on X-Play
Baulders Gate 2 after (see above)
Doa Xtreme 2
Summer Heat Beach Volleyball
X Blades
Leisure Suit Larry Magana Cum Laude

There's more. Much, much more.

I can't beat any NES games.

they're just too hard for me.

I'm modern casual gamer embarrassment.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

Nothing wrong with games when the character looks tough, does tough stuff and survives in a tough world.  But when you buy those kind of games for those reasons, you're trying to compensate for something you don't have in real life.
