dude i don't like horror games necessarily. RE4 for gamecube was my last one & my FAV., but played the 1st chapter of DS & it seemed decent (like it copied the controls that made RE4 work). i had medical problems & hadn't played a horror franchise game since then (and it was a while after release when i even played DS, so it seemed dated graphically at the time).
i played DS2 & LOVED every second of it. liked the DS Extraction it came with, too. to me the same corridor over & over is boring. i love the varied environments of DS2, though. i don't play the horror games to be scared. i play any game for it's story & gameplay. i love both in DS2 so much that i went back & bought DS1 to play when i'm done.
bottom line i guess.....we are polar opposites in our taste in video games. Reach is probably it, but that & BF:BC2 are the only fps' that i can stand. i saw you playing medal of honor. i have never been able to stomach those games. i've played every one up until this gen just hoping they'd get better, but what was i thinking? i mean c'mon, EA was the driving force behind those & everything they touched turned to crap until they started just buying out companies & letting them run themselves why EA cashed in. i hated medal of honor, the mp was trash, but some like it.
i guess if you see me playing a game for more than a day....STAY AWAY, lol. it will suck to you.
all joking aside, that sucks you don't like DS2. i thought it was the best game this year so far. i traded Spidey alreadt, too. i played 5 levels in & it just felt like a chore to me. i was bummed i had to stop playing something else just to "get my money's worth" out of it. i could see it being better if you liked the comics, but i don't like comics at all, don't watch movies anymore, but when i did it would be a Quentin Tarantino movie, so never n a million years would i spend 2 hours on a super hero movie. i always thought spidey looked awesome, but knew little about him, and that game seemed like it wanted you to hate him it made him so annoying. didn't plan on selling it, but got SO MANY trade offers that i traded it for Ninja Gaiden Sigma2 (loved the original 3 on the NES, and the xbox version was one of my top 5 games of that console generation. wish the ps3 version had blood, but oh well).
sorry for the rambling essay, but just feel bad about recommending games that you hated. it's beyond my comprehension, because that has never happened to the same person twice in my life. just wanted to give some of my perspective on why i like or dislike certain games. very sorry, bud. just please don't take another recommendation from me. i couldn't live with you disliking a third title i love, lol. i gues it will be Reach for you and I. talk to you later, man.
