I haven't played any Sims games in a very long time (mostly due to lack of time, since these games always eat up the hours like crazy), but I am a huge fan of the series. Sims 1&2 were absolutely brilliant games, and I got my fair share of enjoyment out of the third one as well.
I must admit that I haven't played the fourth one yet. The lack of time is one factor, but I've also been meaning to wait until a few more expansions have come out.
I like clean shaven and I like a good mustache or full beard. The only facial hair styles I find somewhat off-putting are soul patches and goatees.
Still busy-working my way through Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, while playing Cave Story+ (my first playthrough) and Three Dead Zed on the side.
I remember Arc the Lad II being ridiculously long, even overstaying its welcome by a little bit despite being a great game.
So many games, so many wasted hours, it's really hard to pick out individual titles, especially since my early gaming years kinda blur together in retrospect.
I guess one of the most memorable and taste-defining gaming experiences I've ever had as a child was playing Maniac Mansion on my C64. It wasn't my first game, nor was it necessarily my favorite at the time, but it was the one game that showed me how complex computer games could actually be. I had never experienced a virtual environment as interactive as this one before. It was mesmerizing.
Also, Lode Runner :ok2:
The only Pokemon game I've ever played was Emerald on the GBA. It was pretty good. Are the games still like this gameplay-wise or have they changed a lot?
Anything "fake", like makeup or dyed hair. I'm also not a big fan of piercings and tattoos.
It's rare for me to get emotionally invested in games, but it has happened a couple of times. Planescape: Torment is one example. It wasn't so much the main story that affected me, but the stories involving the side characters, especially Dak'kon's and Ignus'. Bioshock is another example. The whole fate of the splicers and many of the game's audio logs were quite touching. The sequels didn't really manage to come close to that, in my opinion.
