Your guilty pleasure game

I agree with this man/woman/hermaphrodite/transgender/transsexual/person. I enjoy the games that I enjoy. But I do know of one game that scored incredibly low everywhere and no one seemed to like it but me, which is Street Wars. Also known as Constructor 2.

Every time I try to explain this game to someone, I realize how bad it looks on paper...

But the execution is so incredible, I wouldn't mind including it among my favorite games of the generation.

what game is that you could have put the name of the game -.-

League of Legends. I'm a Dota boy all the way. Don't tell anyone.

I bought Ubisoft's Naruto: Rise of a Ninja game... I haven't told anyone that I'm playing it. I'm kind of a closeted gamer so I would consider this my guilty pleasure.

Asura's Wrath. You should be ashamed that you don't know. ASHAMED.

Hmmm. That would be Mercenary Ops Ragnarok and Eclipse War Online. I couldn't choose one so I have to come up with 3 of my faves at the moment.

Shadow was an awesome game :P, I loved every second of it. Still, If I replayed it now I'd find some specific problems but it doesn't change the fact that that game has brought me great joy.

ASHAMED!

You are so right here. The Sims 1 was like crack, like minimum 8 hour sessions for a while. Then Sims 2 was big, but I guess it's declined since 1.

And the thing is I don't really like 3 much and think it was a big misstep, if I did get a good amount of time into it. When I was putting my PC together for last XMass I even bought all the Sims 3 expansions because they were on sale (but in the end, that's still expensive) with the thought of playing it through again and only played for like 10 hours this time, which is nothing Sims wise for me. The dog in the expansion was just like a dumb annoying Sim that won't even do what you want! It sucked.

I also am looking forward to the Sims 4!

I know this has already been going a couple of days and the forum search feature is broken, but try to at least Google common topics on the site before posting.

you can do searchstring site:giantbomb.com/forums and it returns results like this. This topic comes up about once every 3 months.

Kane & Lynch: Dog Days

It's not completely terrible.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games because Naruto in general is my guilty pleasure...

I buy the WWE game every year and play it shamefully for a couple weeks before shelving it. They're pretty crappy but fun to play once a year.

I don't have one.

If we're talking about "games I enjoyed more than they deserved", that award probably goes to Resident Evil 6. It's a bad game that takes all of the wrong lessons from "AAA" western releases and applies them with a sometimes startling degree of incompetence. I also sort of liked it.

If we're talking about "guilty pleasures", there is nothing guilty about my love of Final Fantasy X-2 and it being the most stupid.

I feel like there are games that I enjoy and my friends do too. its you people I'm afraid to tell about them. Tokyo Xtreme Racer being a big one. Love that game but I feel shamed for liking it by this community.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle.

The pacing is rough. The framerate is unacceptable for any game, let alone a FUCKING FIGHTING GAME. The balance is all off. The loading times are bad. This game is BAD.

The ridiculous fan-service is so good... Everything (Except a few translation errors) is perfect. The music is great. Every normal, special, super, win pose and taunt is straight from the manga/anime. I fucking LOVE this game...

I actually thought that game's presentation and atmosphere were really cool. The whole "compressed Internet video" thing they went for was a novel visual style and the game pulled it off well enough.

Still, I have no idea why I paid a $60 retail price for that game. Christ. It's not even shameful in retrospect, just baffling.

The game is "Asura's Wrath" (the image has a link in it). I choose to put an image instead of the name because it is a classic example of "an image is worth a thousand words" to exemplify how bananas this game is (sidenote: that is not a meteor, its a finger, and the protagonist is about to stop it with his bare hands)

My latest addiction.

Maybe some of you have heard of it, it's called MINECRAFT.

I can not for the life of me stop playing the Green Lantern game based on the movie. I mean, I don't plat it every day, but once every two months or something I just have to sign out of psn and play some.

It's weird, I didn't think the question for this was "Is there such a thing as a guilty pleasure game?" but that seems to be what a lot of people have answered.

It's like someone asking you if you watched the game and you launch in to a diatribe about your disdain for sports in general, I might agree with you but that wasn't the question and you're just talking to fill the silence.

On-topic: That Game of Thrones facebook game took way too much of my time until I wised up.

I play way too much phone Solitaire, like way too much. It's so easy and quick though.

Actually yeah, I would definitely consider both K&L games in fact to be guilty pleasures of mine. They're both ultimately mediocre, but... I find myself surprisingly engaged with the incredibly sordid duo of K&L themselves, and the second one of course has itself the superb aesthetic going on for it; really weird why no one has else has imitated it yet, least not to my knowledge. K&L2's multiplayer was OK while it lasted as well, even if like the story was dreadfully thin on content and customisation options.

Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and random phone crap like Samurai vs Zombies 2

Hyperdimension Neptunia. I am a sick, sick man.

Minecraft for a few months after it came out on 360.

Also the other day I didn't realize I was signed into XBL when i was playing Guitar Hero, felt a bit embarrassed.

World Series/full house poker on xbox360. Just distracting enough to make me not think about work, while still leaving me able to converse with wife. Poker withou real money is bullshit, tho.

The Last Remnant? I don't really feel guilty that I like it. I love it and I don't care that the majority of people that I talk to about this game hate it.

I actually had way more fun with the Splatterhouse relaunch for the ps3 than I did with God of War 3.

I'm really into Bound by Flame and enjoyed Mars: War Logs. So Spiders are my guilty pleasure? Pretty much any RPG that resembles The Witcher or the Gothic series i'll eventually end up playing. Although something about the Two Worlds games makes me never want to play them, i'm not quite sure what it is.

Guilty pleasures... Hmmm...

Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Medal of Honor: Warfighter multiplayer, Syndicate COOP, among many others.

@slaps2: In the same vein as Infinite Undiscovery, my guilty pleasure game has been The Last Remnant haha! There is so much in that game that makes me laugh, from the way they call the main leader "Daveed" even though it's spelled David, to the main weapon being called the Gae Buldge hahah

I'm sure I'm alone in this, but I thought these were the best games ever created when I was about 8 years old.

Now there are about 30 of these games, but I feel like I have to keep playing the new ones when they come out just for nostalgia's sake. They are ridiculously easy/cheesy but they hold a special place in my heart. :)

postal 2, now with steam workshop support

Artificial Academy. It's a simulator where you create a class of 25, interact with them and watch them interact with each other. It also has sex in it. Feel free to judge me. And I can't wait for Artificial Academy 2.
