I won't lie. If this novice update was available when the game first released, I would've picked it. Even easy was annoying with the alien stealth tactics at the last half of the game. Still, the atmosphere kept me going. Great ending, too.

Have beaten and sold it since.

Sonic 2 > Sonic Generations > Sonic Adventure DX

It's a treat if you haven't already beat the first three games.... Twice.

Megaman X5

Waited almost four years for that PoS. Worst ever sequel to a high note.

Sonic made me want a Genesis (never got one as a kid, in the end. Played it at relatives' and felt jealous watching clips of it on video game review TV shows lol. Could always watch the 90's cartoon shows, though.)

Mario 64 made me want an N64 (eventually got it once Sega pulled the plug on the Saturn.)

Shenmue made me want a Dreamcast (never got one. Ended up beating the game while playing it during a holiday family visit. Good times.)

Shenmue 2 and Jet Set made me want an Xbox (got it, eventually.)

Metal Gear Solid made me want a PSX (had an N64 then. Will never forget the shock and amazement I felt when I watched a friend play it at his place "OMG.... We're playing scenes out of an actual Hollywood movie.")

The above MGS experience has since converted me to a loyal Playstation consumer (not that I don't own the others eventually).... Bought all PSX generations in sequence since.

I'm a Sony geek through through, even though the SNES defined my childhood, but I've got to say I'll never understand the appeal of Monster Hunter. Played the hell outta the rest of those games.

@Gue1 I've always wanted to tell you how looking at your avatar always makes me nostalgic and smile. Best MM game ever.

@toast_burner: How am I discriminating against your sexuality? You're talking to me on the basis that if gay bars are banned, then that means being gay in of itself is a crime. It isn't that simple, but you have an obvious prejudice against me regardless.

And what are you talking about? If nobody catches you in the act, nobody cares. If you told anybody you were gay, Nobody would get hurt. Make a pass on someone and he reports you? Then you're in trouble. Key word here is proof. But it ain't as simple as you think it is (i.e. death sentence straight away). Saudi is full of gays who live life carefree. Not like saying that will make you change your mind.

I'll stop now, it's obvious you're baiting me for some more ammo. You'll just keep going. Thanks for the laugh. You don't even know me, yet you judge me.

@toast_burner: OK. Now you're being unreasonable. Anybody with eyes can see the words I typed were "Homosexual ACTS".

If you're comparing putting an entire religious sect of people under house arrest with walking in the street while being gay SOLELY IN ORIENTATION, then you clearly only want an argument. No wonder the dude didn't bother and just stated "Typical Toast_Burner".

Buhbye now.

@toast_burner: You're comparing social genocide to being gay? Goes to show how unreceptive you are of my points.

The media has done its job, I see.

@toast_burner: Being gay inherently affects your lifestyle (manner of speaking, dress, social circle, relationships... etc.) and I personally have no issues with it. It's not my fight. But I will say, for the last time, that I do take issue when it's shoved down my throat (agendas, labeling the person homophobic just because he doesn't accept the orientation itself as natural.)

You're linking your orientation to race and sexism. I do not. They are three different topics of discussion to me. Hence why I request you stop generalizing. I do not wish death upon you or whatever it is the media is making you believe Muslims as a whole do.

To answer your question, I will be against Muslims being treated that way. But I will also realize that not everybody wants that. It's ignorance. Same as those extremists who discriminate against you. However, if it's the law not to openly display homosexual acts then just simply follow it. Nobody has the right to harass you in your own private space or without proof.

What I perceive you're saying is that you want be the extremist on the other side. So, in essence, you're no worse than those who discriminate against you. people =/= everybody .
