I beat every other questline, finished everything in every city/town/location etc. then the main one was so boring/easy/tedious i just got over it. Then when i play skyrim, I missed a bunch of the storyline.

also, i never finished all 3 years in Harvest Moon:Back to Nature. I pretty much befriended everyone and maxed my farm by year 2 and it felt like a waste of time just dragging it out. I never got to see the ending…

He just kept throwing hammers like a machine gun so I could never get around him. It’s such a classic game and it seems like everyone except myself finished it.

I also never completed Beyond Good & Evil for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was such an epic game with an amazing looking futuristic world, but I was a busy college student back then, and I had moved on to newer games and more modern consoles by the time I had the chance to play video games more often. I bought the HD version on Xbox Live recently, but I was disappointed you can’t invert the camera’s Y axis which is a very common option today, so the controls feel weird and take time to get used to.

Only after I was over 20 did I try playing one, and realized I would’ve liked them when I was younger and had the time. I’m currently looking for a “light” RPG, one that’s simpler and not as time-consuming as, say, Skyrim.

I assume this list was made by a 13 year old who’s never even heard of the NES

I was walking away from the mountains as the music started and I thought “This is awesome, its just like that bit when I entered Mexico, which was awesome, this is gonna be even cooler”, then outta nowhere, a fucking bear mauls me dead in about a second. When I respawned the song was nowhere to be heard and i had to make the journey to my family without an emotional song to back it up.

I also missed out on Zaeed. It was the only DLC that didn’t come with the PS3 version as standard (at the time of release) and not having wireless broadband at home I could never get access to him. I too know nothing about him, but I know he would have been an awesome addition to my Shepards squad.

My biggest regret was killing Niko’s old comrade in GTA IV. After I killed him I felt like i had done what i had wanted to do the whole game, everything niko had gone through was for that, yet it felt like i had made a mistake.

1) Get on horse after crossing into Mexico.

2) Listen to awesome song for 15 seco–HEY! 3) Is that one of those special horses I have to ride for the achievement?

4) Dismount to investigate (song stops)

5) Read on the internet about how awesome the moment is that I’ve just cut short.

And probably my biggest regret:
Getting suckered as a 10 year old by “Blast Processing” commercials and asking my parents for a Sega Genesis instead of a Super Nintendo. (I’m sorry, Super Mario World!)
