I've purchased so many games I'll probably never play. And will probably keep doing so. Wallet wiiiide open. Damn you Steam.
As someone pointed out early in the thread, I too do too much Skyrim modding... My Creation Kit playtime is nearly 2x my Skyrim time. Since I'm not a modding genius, most of my time spent modding has been poking at other mods and tweaking them so they're just how I want them, especially in regards to homes. Learning how to do so nearly all by myself was challenging, but fun at the same time.

-I've never completed Ocarina of Time despite trying three times on the 64, GCN, and 3DS.
-I've only played and completed Silent Hill 2. I've never played SH1 or SH3.
-I collect physical and digital games more than I play them.
-I am 110% bad at RTS games which is unfortunate because I really want to get into the Dawn of War games.
-I love Monster Hunter games but progress incredibly slowly because of the grinding.
-There are a million JRPGs I wish to get into but the time they take to complete unfortunately turn me down from ever starting them.
That should be a good starter for me in this thread. I will post more as they come to me, haha!

I seriously love metal gear solid 3. Everytime I play that game something new always appears and I get great stuff from it. Today I looked at the cinematics section in the menu and found an unlocked cinematic with Eva only wearing her underwear and snake constantly staring down at her breast. This goes on for a few cinematics til they get to a part that creeper me out. Raikov was in his pants and was being stuffed into the locker as per usual but if you used 1st person mode you would get a close up on his crotch....so....yeah big boss is aparently bi and I am DEFINITELY STRAIGHT. But even so I discover so many other tricks and Easter eggs everytime I play, the game is amazing and is why its my personal favourite game so far to date. You can even find the sorrows skeleton in the virtous mission!

Full disclosure : i have a Solid Snake for Metal Gear.
So i just finished MGSV:Ground Zeroes on PC and i don't know how to feel about it. On one hand i'm ecstatic we get a PC port that not only runs flawlessly (so far) but also looks miles better on my PC at 30FPS than 60FPS on PS4! -and on the other hand, i've always played MGS on Playstation and well...
...i feel like i'm cheating on my console roots with a much hotter gaming PC.

Everyone better at multiplayer games are tryhard nerds, and everyone worse than me are idiotic noobs.
Also I get upset if I'm not at the top3

Confession: I think the bestiary is the funniest part of an rpg and get annoyed when its just stats.. I don't want stats! I want a story! RPGs are text heavey spend ten minutes creating a background for a monster seesh..
Confession: I often use Limits Ultimate Attacks Mystic Artes etc just to see the animation never mind what I'm facing I also spam them during boss fights and try to use them at least twice per boss fight.

Phantom Pain might not release simultaneously on PC at the same time consoles release it and that worries and saddens me more than anything. At first i was shitting my pants with glee once i realized the Ground Zeroes PC port was not only perfect but playable on my rig, then my excitement shot up through the roof when i discovered i didn't need a PS4 anymore but now...now i'm just worried sick i'll have to either settle on a PS3 copy or wait -potentially- 6 more months after console release for a PC port.
Confession : i would happily give up every console and game in my library if it meant a guaranteed simultaneous release.

I don't think you should worry about what console its going to come on, for alk its worth im pretty happy i can play the next game on my current console. The only diffrence i imagine will be graphics so don't worry, keep the damn PS3...it still has some good games on it still and graphics aren't important.

I am super smitten with Skies of Arcadia's setting.

Every time someone plays a game I know how to play and they don't know what they are doing I always get the urge to tell them how to do it right. xD Or if they are failing I have an urge to take the controller and beat that level or whatever for them. I laugh uncontrollably when I'm winning when I play games with people in person. And I sometimes talk to the game like it can hear me or narrate what's going on for no reason.

Now that I own a WiiU and a PS4... I intend to treat PSN and Wiiverse the way I did PSN on my PS3 and Steam on my PC.
Stuff it into the background and never ever use it. My Steam is offline for that very purpose. If I want to speak to people, I want to speak with them on my terms.

PC / Steam Confession -- I only buy a game if it's 75+% off and has Steam Trading Cards. Everything else is Humble Bundles ($1.00) and gifts (thanks!).
PS3 / Console Confession -- I won't play a game if it doesn't have trophies. I skipped out on the first year or two of PS3 games for this fact alone. Mind you, I don't play games [only] for trophies, but I lose all interest when the game doesn't have any. Also noted, pretty much every game released after the first year or two have trophies, so not too relevant. But as an extension of the previous confession... I won't buy a game on PC / Steam if the game is available on consoles and has trophies. Yeah.
3DS / Handheld Confession -- I checked the StreetPass Mii Plaza + Games every day for the first year or so I had the 3DS. Sometimes, twice a day. I pretty much don't bother now, but I only had like maybe two 3DS games for that first year, and didn't start buying any until I lost interest in the StreetPass concepts stuffs things. To stuff in a confession that encompasses pretty much all of the above... I don't like to buy DLC or any download only games or strictly download content. Eventually, I am going to sell or trade these consoles, and not be able to take everything with me. So why bother? Physical or bust (unless it's PC / Steam -- in which case, see above purchasing restrictions). There are other misc factors, but... yeeaaahhhh...
[ And now, for something completely different. ]
If the main character of a game can be renamed, and the player chosen name is never chosen (examples: Shepard from ME, Hawke from DA2), then I always use my real life name. But back in the old days of gaming, ?lol?, if the name slot only allowed four letters, I would use "Mike" or "Alex." I can only think of a couple games that restricted it to THREE letters, but in those rare occasions, I always use "Ace." Does not apply to putting in initials, so... well, initials.

MGS related confession :
i actually subscribe to the "Snake is Grey Fox" theory.
Feel free to discuss it, agree, disagree or ask me why but unfortunately i'm in no position to make a long post right now. if you're into Metal Gear, i'd love to dig into it.
