Your gaming guilty pleasures

The idealistic version of your controversial X opinion.
I though why not post a thread that not a cynical your controversial X opinion.
Post your gaming guilty pleasure here.(Because I don't know how to end a Thread like this)

I don't play any games that I would be embarrassed to talk about. I mean, there are some games I am afraid of trying out, however I don't really consider any of them that I like to be ones I am embarrassed of liking.

I was curious, okay!

I groove along to Girlfriend in Burnout Paradise.

Of course, I turn the camera around in some games with a main female character to try to get it into 'compromising' positions. RE4 was great for this. Hi Ashley.

I love listening to the soundtrack of FFXIII-2. Seriously. Just listen!
Final Fantasy 13-2 OST - Disc One - 13 - New Bodhum - YouTube
Final Fantasy 13-2 Boss Battle Theme (Screamo song) - YouTube
Final Fantasy 13-2 (Atlas) Boss Battle Theme [HQ] - YouTube

I don't know why I like them, I just do.

I like some of their games too. Get bored quickly with them though.

I played 24: The Game and it was surprisingly decent, especially for a licensed game. That's what makes it a little uncomfortable to talk about it.

*high-fives* You dirty bastard, you!

My Dad got me this for Christmas like eight years ago, possibly the worst (or best depending on how you look at it) parent ever.

I'm not embarrassed, per-se, but I do feel that I have some guilty pleasures.
I feel like the Persona series is very much a guilty pleasure. I'm not sure why just that, and no other games in the SMT series. Must just be because of the very anime look and the pop soundtrack.

Though, I guess I do find it a bit embarrassing to be caught playing a Tales game. I love the series to death, but it feels so childish to me, almost like I should have grown out of it. And for a while, I thought I had (until I played Graces, and it is just fantastic).

I've got a thing for Akira Yamaoka's soundtracks as well as Shoji Meguro. I'm not embarrassed or anything about it to talk about it here, but nobody around here see's any merit in a soundtrack to a game, so it gets awkward when I start talking about it. Haha.


Oh, but I think Catherine really goes without saying.
Moreso just because nobody has really played it, and go more on a judge a book by its cover, so I get razzed pretty good over that one.

In my defense, I avoided the ones that involves rape. My conscience can't take it.

I would like to add Dead or Alive Paradise (PSP), Rumble Roses(PS2 emu) and the games from Kongregate and Newgrounds.

Character creation. I get way into it. I spend a long time on it. Even if I'll never see that face again because they'll wear concealing headgear within 10 minutes of starting. I spend more time tweaking my created characters' appearances in the last 3 Soul Caliburs or Mass Effect 2 (and potentially 3 if it ever drops into a reasonable price) than I do playing them.

It has been likened to playing with Barbie dolls.

Rollercoaster tycoon games
Viva Pinata
Harvest Moon games
Guy Game for xbox (those mini games were fun as hell I swear)

Pretty sure there are others I can't think of right now.

What if it's one where YOU get molested; would that play on your conscience?

Okay, so maybe the story is awful, the voice acting and characters are beyond annoying, the graphics are ugly, it's full of bugs and only the expansions are worth playing... but dammit, it's probably the only RPG released in the last 5 years with any sort of interesting and deep party-based character building! I know, I am a weak man!

Hell, I had to watch the opening to Dark Souls ten times over just because I wasn't satisfied with how my character looked, and the character's face becomes masked with a helmet really early on.

Dude you're just digging yourself a shallow grave

I mean no, I don't play visual novel weeaboo ♥♥♥♥♥♥ry ♥♥♥♥.

Played the crap out of this game a while ago. Even did some of those annoying surveys for that sweet sweet Adventure Coins so I could buy things that do not alter my stats in any way whatsoever. But they looked cool.

Mystery games/point and clickers. Yeah...
Harry Potter video games. The Lego ones especially but i do have a couple of the movie tie-in games.
