We all have been gamers for so long right, but where did it REALLY start?

I always try so hard to get in Shining Force and hopefully one day it works. I am currently trying to play through Suikoden II on my phone.

I have never gone by score, with the main reason being that as a kid I would always read EGM or GamePro and only cared out flipping to the back of the magazine to read the RPG section. I remember going nuts when I saw pis of FFIX with Bahamut vs. Alexander thinking it was going to be the greatest thing ever. Then it would get like a 9 or above and after playing it and loving the card game (Triple Triad in FFVIII being my favorite) and everything else I knew it was the best game of the year, but they would never win.

From then on I just never really put any stock in review scores as 9 times out 10 they never lined up with my line of thinking, and I honestly feel that holds true with most people here, even if they don't realize it yet.

Dude, game high score, not review score :P

Oops, lol. Anyways I am still in the same boat as you as I no longer try to chase 100% completion or high scores and instead opt to just take my time, enjoy the game and then move onto the next one.
