Games you absolutely refuse to own

[Gypsy]

Because money is good.

and Any of the Kingdom hearts series

Just saw this. Good, good.

But Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 were masterpieces.

Maybe in the eyes of a toddler or some nostalgic Disney fan.

Edit: It had been too long since I read some KH hate so I went back and fed at gamefaqs.

Any game that's been saddled with SecuRom or something similar. It doesn't matter if it's used, if it's on a console instead of PC, I don't care. I simply won't pay for a game that's stuck with DRM for reasons that Shamus Young has belabored in the past (mainly that I don't want to in any way encourage the continued use of DRM in games, considering it only really affects the legitimate customer, while the pirates it's meant to stop don't have to deal with it at all since it'd have to be removed from pirated copies). So Bioshock and others are a big 'no' for me.

Good man. The idea of copy protection against digital material is absolutely silly. There hasn't been a single case in history where it has actually stopped piracy. Although there have been several reports of the software completely crippling OS's (thanks Sony), as well as conflictions with existing software. I don't see why people insist on investing in something that has failed literally 100% of the time.

Call of Duty, Battlefield or anything else where you slam your head on a controller (or keyboard) and clap your hands when you win.

Why do people keep acting like these two are in the same category? Damn EA marketing!

Hmmm....quite a few, I suppose. (These fall under the 'pretty much' category, there are exceptions in every genre - Metal Gear, Excitebike, Punch-OUT!, Hang-On, etc..)

Categories that are *NOT* my scene: Sports, militaria, racing/driving, mafiaso/'true crime' stuff, Pokemonsters, simulations, RPGs (In specific, 'JRPGs'), photography-based stuff, etc.

85% of my family/friends/people DO enjoy those categories, though. My wife in specific loves the puzzle/picto/courtroom/JRPG/Poke/clue based/mind challenge-types of games.

I am learning, as I grow older, that I am becoming a bit of a 'snoot' when it comes to my choices. I mean, out of any given 20 DS games that I try, I only jive with maybe two of 'em; for every 50 Genesis games I give a go, I might enjoy FIVE of 'em....so...yeah...

What I REALLY need to do is get offa my lazy duff and do some 'Lou's Best Of' SD chips, heh....bit of Castlevania, bit of Streets of Rage, a little Mario, some Zelda, toss in some Kabuki Quantum and Resident Evil, add some.....
(Thing is, I'm not sure if you can mix 'platforms' on one Micro SD; dont think that I could mix, say, NES, PSX, 2600, Lynx, and DS on the same chip.... ?)

You can. On my R4, I have a folder called GBC, which has the GBC emulator .nds rom, and a hell lot of .gbc roms. In the main R4 menu only the emulator shows up, but when I choose the emulator I can choose between GBC roms. Do you have R4 or other such cards that allow you to play .nds roms on your DS or is it something else?
