Admit your shameful gaming sins

The fact that you made it all the way to the final boss is a feat; there is no shame in this at all. I had to do it for a couple of bosses in various Souls games. The one that stomped me for some reason was Rom. After 30 or so tries, I ringed a friend to come and help. I ran through the rest of the bosses, but Rom kicked my ass up and down the screen.
Dont' shoot me but... FF15 is the only FF that I've finished. I have FF10 but I can't get past the final boss.
Also I finished Dark Souls 1... with a trainer/cheats on PC. I loved the atmosphere but the gameplay was just too hard! Sorry y'all.
Oh and I save-scum in stealth games, especially the Dishonoured franchise.

FFX is one of those jrpgs where if you do all the optional stuff the final boss becomes a joke, so... just play the game, you're probably pretty underleveled.
- I got the Gold Trophy for FFIX where you need to jump 1000 times by using Remote Play and installing a script on my PC that knew the timing for each jump.
I wanna believe you had a Charizard with the following moveset:
Fire Blast
Flamethrower
Fire Spin
Ember
I gamesharked my way through Parasite Eve's Chrysler Building. I wanted the "true" ending or whatever and didn't have the time for that being done legitimately.
But I'm glad I had it because it let me play Tekken 3 with the ability to swap character movesets which made for humorous fights and allowed me to take screenshots of the cg cutscenes and edit colors and such. The first photo mode I've experimented with and made me want it in every game.

Thanks I'll try that! I have been kind of steam-rolling to get to final boss.
My Typhlosion had that moveset in Silver, except Fire Punch instead of Fire Blast.
Because if a move ain't super effective, it ain't worth using.
I've played one Zelda game and never beat it.
I own 2 Metroid games and never played them.
I replaced Mewtwo's self healing with something else.

I beat played more than 30% of Shadow or Colossus across 3 generators - Ps2, 3, and 4
I never cared for the original God of War serie, played 1-3 but not Ascension
it's been a long time since I played any FPS, last one was modern warfare 2 and resistance 2

I kinda tend to use some form of cheat, mod or trainers on PC when I play games which is why I kinda prefer buying stuff in console even if they are more expensive sometimes.
I dunno I just want that sense of accomplishment that I did everything legitimately which I always fail to do when I play on PC.

The amount of rare, valuable games I have at one point owned in my life and traded in is absolutely staggering. It's not really possible to imagine a reality where I still have them all, since trading them in is what allowed me to buy more. But still, from like the N64/PSone to the PS2 generations, I have been in possession of SO MANY rare games. It actually makes me sick to my stomach.
Hell no. Screw Charizard. I had Blastoise with:
Hydro Pump
Surf
Ice Beam or Blizzard
Earthquake
Earthquake quickly became my favorite move, and it's likely I replaced it with Fissure. I made it a point to install Earthquake onto all my starter Pokemon in each game unless they couldn't learn it. My Typhlosion in Silver had it too.
- Haven't played a Mario game since Mario 64
- Haven't made it more than 15-20 minutes into a Zelda game
- Haven't made it more than an hour into an Final Fantasy game, with the glaring exception of FF14 - which I spent a decent amount of time playing a few years ago.
- Have never come even close to beating any JRPG

Add Super Mario RPG into that for me as well.
Part of the reason I think, personally, I was underwhelmed is because they were never released here and, as result, they took on a mythical quality. They're OK, but lacking nostalgia for them and only playing a long time after the fact left me cold on them.
As a huge fan of vertical shooters I finally bought Ikaruga on sale yesterday and was immediately disappointed. Not at all what I was hoping for. The constant need to flip back and forth between colors is a chore and it's less like my favorite shooters and more like a pure memorization game with little room for experimentation. I know the game is held in high regard but it just doesn't play like a vertical shooter to me. I love stuff like Aero Fighters 2, Strikers 45, 19XX series, etc. This may be my first purchase regret in a long time.
So it's a sin in my view bc it's so highly regarded as one of the best in the genre and I was immediately turned off by the core gameplay mechanics.

I paid full price for that one Sim City reboot that EA mangled and end up killing the franchised.
I can't remember what I did get, but I remember turning down FF2, FF3, and Chrono Trigger when my dad took me to Toys R Us to pick out a birthday game, because they did not look sufficiently Zelda-like and that was what I was obsessed with. I'm not sure what would have satisfied me on that point; possibly Illusion of Gaia but I already had access to that through a friend.
(I did eventually pick up Lufia 2 at the local rental shop because the cover art looked sufficiently Zelda-y with a guy with a sword on the front. That turned out to be a very good decision, at least.)

I own 5 copies of GTA V: 3 disk releases (PS3+360+XO) and 2 digital (XO+PS4).
But I haven't finished the damn story yet. And I don't like GTA Online.
The shame part? If Rockstar releases a next gen version, I will probably buy it because "now I'm going to finish it".

I think the only thing I can think of that would really surprise most people is that even though I am old enough to have been around for the very first NES systems to come to America (and play and own one), I actively dislike the vast majority of Nintendo's first party library. Not because the games are kiddy or anything dumb like that - I just straight up don't like the genres (platforming by and large), or have never found the settings interesting. In all this time I have never finished a Zelda game, not finished a Mario game since 2 or 3 on the NES, and find most of their franchises lackluster.
That's probably my only thing that really qualifies given I have worked in the industry, been playing games for 30 years, etc.
