gesundheitFrom http://thefridayfive.livejournal.com/99018.html:
1. Do you prefer to play games on a console or PC?
Console. My ex kept trying to convince me that PC gaming was better for some reason, but I would have none of it. With a console, you don't have to worry about whether your game will be compatible with your system, and you don't have to remember which buttons on the keyboard do what. A console controller works better with my muscle memory.
2. What is your all-time favourite game? (No answer too embarrassing)
I had THE BEST time playing Knights of the Old Republic for the first time. It was the very first video game I ever beat all by myself, and I still have a warm fuzzy place in my heart for it. For replayability, though,
However, I also have to mention Dragon Age: Origins for its replayability, huge world, tons of choices, great characters, etc., etc. I'd also like to give a shout-out to Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, both of which I did play on the PC. :)
3. Which game has been the most disappointing?
KotOR 2. The gameplay was great, but it wasn't FINISHED. The plot made very little sense. I have always said that I would be willing - just once, mind you - to pay money for a completed version of the game.
4. Are there any upcoming games that you're excited to try?
I bought Skyrim for my husband for our anniversary. I'm letting him have the first crack at it, but it looks AMAZING.
5. If you could design a computer game, what kind would it be (platform, racing, shoot-out, etc.) and what would it be about?
I've heard Kevin Smith say that he makes the kind of movies he wants to watch, and lately I've been trying to think of what kinds of movies I'd like to see, books I'd like to read, and games I'd like to play. Bioware definitely makes the kind of games I want to play, and I'm finding it really difficult to improve on what they've done.
It would definitely be an RPG, and it would be either sci-fi with strong elements of magic, or fantasy with strong elements of sci-fi. Either way, it would have gorgeous graphics, great characters, and more conversation possibilities than there are with current games. There are always (reasonable, relevant) questions that I want to ask NPCs, that aren't actual dialog options and sometimes I'm thinking, "WAIT, it would really help if I could ask about...!" I think I'd first have to design a really complicated AI to get what I want.
