Guilty Pleasure

    What's your guilty pleasure outside COD? Mine is Ratchet & Clank. I actually bought the PS3 to play the game Tools of Destruction. Like to run around, and try to get all the skill points and golden bolts. Was playing it one day for hours, and could not get past a certain part, so turned it off, and put MW2 into the box. MW2 came with the console as a package. The rest is history.

    Stuck the game in there last week, and it said that I last played it in early january!

    Coke and hookers?

    The only answer I could come up with because the only games I have for the playstation is MW2 , BO and Assassin's Creed 2 (currently lent to a friend, played it for 1 hour tops, could never get into it).

    Everybody's Golf World Tour / Resistance 2 and copious amounts of alcohol.

    Just in relation to games, think it's obvious we're all into coke, hookers, smoke, football...........

    Why are those games considered guilty pleasures? They're all really good in their own right. Guilty pleasures are playing something like Just Dance, Spiceworld or Medal of Honor

    Far from a guilty pleasure, Street Fighter 2 is still one of the best games ever made, I found an arcade machine in a bar in america with it and spent about 5 quid playing it with a few of the lads, was awesome.

    Games wise, I dont have many guilty pleasures, my games collection for PS3 is mostly all 5 star or big titles, heres what I own:

    Black Ops
    MW1
    Mw2
    Uncharted 1 and 2 (ESSENTIAL if you own a PS3)
    God of War 3
    Heavy Rain
    Metal Gear 4
    Dead Space
    Killzone 2
    Mirrors Edge (I liked it, sue me)
    Bayonetta
    Sega Mega Drive Collections (actually thats my guilty pleasure, retro games :D)

    Errr, does owning a Wii count? say what you want about it but theres some savage games on it, Mario Galaxy 2 did the impossible and made me stop playing MW2 for about a week, I really must finish it actually..

    Just thought it was an apt title, seen as this is posted in the COD thread. Just curious to what others say, as I only know a few guys here from getting an AK47 in the head.

    Cant get over the negativity towards MOH, its a class game since they patched it imo.
    Slower pace than BO but far more realistic imo.

    I speak of MP ofcourse and on PC ofcourse :)

    Too many judge it based on the beta, a beta is a beta, the game right now is totally different than any of the betas.
    Not saying you are judging it based on beta cherry but i know many do,more fool them tbh.

    It was a joke :pac:

    I don't dislike MOH, as a matter of fact I quite like it. Just disappointing

    World of warcraft used to be a big guilty pleasure of mine :D Its not a game you go out and tell your mates about !! thats for sure.... even tho if you strip all the nerdiness away from it, its the best adventure/RPG ever made... without a doubt.

    haha :D That episode of southpark was amazing !

    There are RP servers that have some proper weird people on them, pretending they're actually their character and talking funny and ****, theres even some people that get a virtual wedding !!! Theres a video on youtube of some guy that actually died IRL and his guild organised a big ass funeral sort of thing, and a guild from the other faction heard about it and went in and killed everyone lol...

    I used to love just winding people up on it tho.... man if you think the abuse you get for owning someone on cod was bad !!! Try pretending to ninja loot some little nerds epic sword !!

    nah, my PC died like a year ago so ive been a console noob since. I loved BF2 alot, but its diffo a game that has to be played on a PC to be fully appreciated thats for sure. Im guessing MoH is the same.



    And thats the one lake, there are some classic wow vids on youtube.

    Yup that was the point i was about to make :)
    With MOH and BC2 there seems to be a big difference in the PC and consoles, some console users saying the can barely see the enemy on the console version of MOH, i dont have the console version of MOH but i do have BC2 on console and its vastly different compared to pc, the gulf between both platforms seems to be huge with these games compared to the COD series.
