    Any RPG with turned based combat .

    I can't get in to them and find them boring as hell, the likes of Final Fantasy and all others all have passed me by unnoticed :(

    I keep seeing Disgea in its various guises in shops but never buy as I don't get them and don't want to look a t1t trying to play and sailing on the fail boat.

    Give fire emblem a go. If you liked advance wars then you'll like it since its pretty much a RPG version of that game.

    Try something with a good trn based combat system then because final fantasy for the most part is very simplistic and dull with a few exceptions. Something like the shin megami tensei series or Grandia actually need strategy to do well in battles whereas in ff you'll find outside of boss battles spamming attack will do.

    For me turn based is always far better than any real time system since the good turn based games require some strategy as opposed to real tie which is just spamming attack or watching your characters do all the work in a typical western RPG.

    I love SRPGs but I just don't get Disgaea. It's all too abstract and the cutesy style doesn't cut it either.

    Fire Emblem is your only man.

    Don't forget Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3!

    I have never made it to the last Boss of, and consequently have never beaten, Sonic the Hedgehog.

    This is despite buying the game near enough to 10 times via a genesis copy, virtual console, a mega drive copy at a market, god knows how many compilation games and most recently on my android phone.

    :eek:

    Have you just never stuck it to the end, or did you find it hard for some reason?

    It's one of the easier games of that generation :)

    I just never beat it as a Kid and when I revisited it years later it was mostly through compilations so I'd play it for a few minutes and then try something else. It's just a time thing I suppose, I'm too comfortable knowing that it's there and that I can play it any time I want... just have to dedicate time for it and get through it.

    I could play it on my lunch break but I've enough distractions in place already (have new comics to read, half-way through a book, want to go for a lunch break run, want to just browse the web etc...).

    Maybe this thread could have a redemptive quality... whereby we can set ourselves a target to right one of our above wrongs by a certain date and the very act of committing to same on here would force us to complete same...?

    Sure, as if that will happen with Dark Souls 2 out this Friday.

    Looking at Andrews Get in another thread makes me realise I own Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandoras Tower for the Wii and have played none of them :(

    My highest score in Flappy Bird is a mere 9.

    My Flappy Bird high score is even more shameful:
    195

    My Flappy Bird score is 23 or so, and I was happy until I saw Johnny U and his massive result, bugger

    It took me near 20 years to pass Super Mario Bros. 3

    My flappy bird score is 3, which was the best of the two or three tries I have it before uninstalling it again.

    I never played flappy bird which means my ipad is now not worth 20,000 euros on ebay.
