Discuss games you remember playing back in the day. What consoles you had. Etc.
One of my all-time favourite games is Silent Hill 4: The Room for PS2.
I loved this game. It was so creepy. I think this was the only game ever where a bunch of scenes actually made me jump as I was playing like I was watching a scary movie. The zombies/monsters were all awesomely creepy and the story with you being trapped in your apartment and being haunted by a serial killer in your dreams was pretty great. I'd love to see a horror movie based on this game.
I will more than likely talk about a bunch of other stuff later.

I loved playing survival/horror games when I was younger. Well, I still do.
One of my favorites was this game called Haunting Ground.
You play as this girl who wakes up in a castle after a car crash, and you have to explore the castle to find out how you got there. Also, there's this fat tard who chases you around because he thinks you're a doll, but if you befriend the castle dog he'll protect you. And when you get scared, the controller shakes and the screen gets blurry cause your character is panicking. It's scurry.

I came across this game purely by chance and it's definitely the greatest Playstation game I've ever played.
Ignore the video because it doesn't do the game justice. When I first got the game I thought I'd be one of many to be playing it... I was wrong. I was surprised to find out that no one has ever heard of it, let alone played it. It took around 6 years to find someone else who owned the game, which was great because I could finally talk about it without boring someone. Anyway, I found out the reason that not many people played that game is because they thought it was a fake Pokemon game, and I can see where they're coming from because it certainly has a Pokemon feel to it but this is so much darker and so much more intense.
I own the sequel but I haven't had a chance to play it because I've lost my Playstation 2 and the Playstation 3 doesn't play PS2 games. I've heard it's bad so maybe it's for the best.

The consoles I’ve had over the years are:
Atari
SEGA Mega Drive
PlayStation
PlayStation 2
PlayStation 3
And I’ll probably get the PlayStation 4 in a few years when it comes out. The original PS was definitely my favourite though. Specifically for Twisted Metal 2, Die Hard: Trilogy, Urban Chaos, the first two Resident Evil games and the early Tomb Raider games.
I really loved Tomb Raider 2. Who didn’t love trapping old man Winston in the fridge?

Gramps totally scared me the first time I played the training levels at Lara's home. It was so creepy the way he'd follow you around and moan. That would not be acceptable irl.

The moaning really was creepy. Also, even after you locked him in the fridge and thought you were free of him you would go mess around on the obstacle course outside or something and 2 minutes later his old ass would re-appear and start stalking you again.

I made the effort to play Jade Cocoon 2 earlier. It was awful. It took over 15 minutes to get past the intro. I was pissed off that you're now no longer referred to as a Cocoon Master but a BeastHunter; and you're not the last one this time round, you're part of an agency... which sort of devalues the importance of the job. Also there was a creepy moment about 10 minutes in with some guy who is an experienced BeastHunter hitting on to the main character who's about 15 years old and is also a guy. The battle style had changed too, way too much for my liking. I'll most likely never play it again tbh.

I sometimes play the old Sonic games that are on the SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection PS3 game and it kinda amazes me that they're still so much fun even 15 years later. They're really easy though. I can't believe that even as a kid it would have taken me any longer than a day or so to complete those games.

Nicki Minaj has to be in the next game.
Also, a pop star version of the Def Jam games would be awesome. Basically, I just want an excuse to kill Lady Gaga. It could be fun though. I would probably play as Britney every single time. Well, maybe I'd use Katy Perry sometimes also.

Also, a pop star version of the Def Jam games would be awesome. I 100% agree. That and a game pitting slasher movie villains against each other are on my wish list. |

Me and my best friend spent so many hours playing Twisted Metal 2 when we were little. Our big strategy was to plant bombs on the teleporters before they beamed us off so when the other players came after us they would get blown up. And we would always go out of our way to kill the pedestrians, lol.
