Great article, here. Everyone's got at least one skeleton in their gaming closet.

[just_looken]

i own all the lost plant games on ps3 number 1 and 3 i cant finish 100% its missing content lol.

[TLG1991]

Creating 50 psn accounts to get a platinum of little big planet. needed 50 hearts on a user created level, it was terrible and was never going to happen. it took forever to set up email after email then set up psn accounts then play through the tutorial over and over so you can actually play online levels.... but i did it and that trophy is a reminder of my determination, albeit corrupt lol

[Yukes]

That's terrible and brilliant in equal measure! The community shall surely forgive you :)

[Fridgecake]

Wow that's some extreme commitment to the cause!

[Bathyj]

Please tell us what you have and whose trying to cure it so we can send them money.

Trophies are my worst moments. Spending countless miserable hrs getting or helping others get absurd trophies. Hated every minutes of it. Here's one.

The original Borderlands glitched and I didn't get enough backpack upgrades. So, I literally started a new game and played it straight to almost the end until I got the trophy, all night, all day, all night. And here's the kicker. It glitched on ng+ and gave me an extra one. Yeah!!!

[iceman06]

Worth!!! LMAO

[SuperStatePro]

I can't believe people waste so much time trying to get a useless "trophy", much less by cheating..

[TLG1991]

The thing is i might have wasted so much time to you but i have a funny story i can tell people who are into games that can be laughed about. you obviously have never done anything interesting to talk about so just stroll around critiquing other people to make your self feel better. well done!

[GamerGabs]

Love RPGs, especially JRPGs and I also have never finished a Final Fantasy game. Nice to see I'm not the only one. :)

[Double_O_Revan]

Also never played a FF game. 15 will be my first.

I've also never played LoZ Majoras Mask

[Maple22]

Oh the shame!! I can say that I have never played a Final Fantasy game either. I'm also very good at not finishing games :(

[FlexLuger]

Same here with FF. I keep telling myself I will try a traditional JRPG atleast once but I can never bring myself to commit.

[q8kik]

I actually liked Bridget from Guilty Gear ':_:

But only as a fighting game character i swear !!

[VJGenova]

I hate the following video game series:

1. Ultima
2. Zelda (all the 3d ones). Link's Adventure is my favorite.
3. Hitman
4. King's Quest
5. Call of Duty
6. Battlefield
7. Star Wars Knights of the old Republic
8. Madden
9. World of Warcraft
10. Elder scrolls

Anyone care to top that?

[iceman06]

I hate..umm...video games!?!? LOL Nope, think you got it!!!

[coolbeans]

"7. Star Wars Knights of the old Republic"

100 Hail Marys for forgiveness on this one alone. :P

[NeonEnigma]

Well i watched my parents have sex in stick of truth, I hogtied some dude and dropped him on the train tracks in Red Dead, i blew up some town in Fallout, I used a exploit to get all 600 orbs in Jak 3 on Vita.. i could keep going

[Null]

You watched your parents? Please elaborate.

[ZaWarudo]

I used to pronounce Cloud's name as "Cloyd" back then.

[Bathyj]

I shoplifted a copy of Bonestorm when I was 10.

[swishersweets20031]

i jacked it to the strippers in GTA IV :D

[Double_O_Revan]

“I spent more time luring the butler into the freezer than I did playing the actual Tomb Raider 2 campaign.”

Omg, I did this!! Mostly because I didn't own the game, I was playing a friends.

[MrsNesbitt]

The butler was such a wonderful creep! I bet he loved being in there!

[iceman06]

Forgive me gamers for I have sinned. It has been several years since my last confession....

I never liked a Mario game until he was able to fly.

I spent a week and a half trying to "obtain" (read: pirate) a copy of Custer's Last Stand on the C64.(in my defense, I was young!)

I spent the better part of 7 months trying to find a damn gas can in Maniac Mansion because my friend lied and said he found it!!!

I would rather watch Halo cut scenes on YouTube than actually play the game!!! (no disrespect to the game, I just didn't like it when I played it) So, I have seen them from EVERY game and LOVE the lore. (strange, but true!)

Finally, I played a game called Agile Warrior on PS for HOURS ONLY because there was a code where you could drop unlimited nukes on....everything!!!

[TheColbertinator]

Bought FFXIII twice even though I hate it

[TheOnlyMastrx]

I suck at a lot of games I like to play. I have never beat any Final Fantasy, Wild Arms, Zelda, Breath Of Fire, Resident Evil, or Silent Hill games without cheating (gameshark, codebreaker). That list probably has a lot more but those are what came to mind.

[xwilldemise]

From the top of my head, um, only playing the hardest difficulty on games just to get the trophies.

[tanukisuit]

LOL, I was thinking about this last night. Great idea for an article.

Here is my dark, dark, secret: I have never finished a single FF game. I either got stuck at a mini-game, didn't understand the core mechanics (like FF8's junction system), or got bored with grinding for a specific material/resource. The problem is, I pretend like I've conquered those games (I don't act like a know-it-all, but from the way I speak, it's like I know the games inside out).

I've returned a game (with no intention of keeping it) because it had a desirable preorder bonus (usually a keychain, etc.). Not for re-sale purpose, but for keeps.

[Kingoftherodeo]

i confess to using nothing but running plays with Michael Vick on madden 04

[GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME]

i mutilate the bodies

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I've never liked any GTA but I preordered and received Duke Nukem Forever on day 1 and enjoyed it :3

[SuperStatePro]

I confess to playing many games on easy because I have enough stress in my daily life and don't need more at home from my hobby.

[MrsNesbitt]

I LOVE FFX-2 even though it's classed as the worst one, it's darned fabulous!!!!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

That's my girlfriends favorite Final Fantasy.

[contradictory]

Hey now, that title goes to XIII so don't even worry about it. X-2 wasn't the worst by any means.

[MrsNesbitt]

Haha thanks both!
