[General Discussion] Terrible taste in games? Guilty secrets and you

I guess you could toss me into the jRPG pile because I own all 3 Xenosagas (I don't deny the movie-quality of the first and the shotty battle system of the second though), all four Star Ocean's, Final Fantasy X, X-2 and XII (I had 7 at some point but ive played it more then a couple times so its not a big deal that I can't find it), Blue Dragon, and in a non-rpg example as mentioned above, one of the recent Tomb Raider games (Anniversary).

Having that said, I also have been recently playing a visual novel type game for the DS called "Lux Pain" which apparently has gotten terrible reviews, so I suppose that would count.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Games like Guardians' Crusade (Good call by the way, I loved that game) or those weird things Elixir used to bang on about on the other hand qualify you as odd taste in games I think.

I've seen a lot of people apply jRPGs to the kind of thing that you shouldn't be playing more then once which is the main reason I listed them. However, going by your line of thinking, I suppose my ownership of Phantom Dust and Godhand would more readily apply.

As you might have guessed, I've played the shit out of VII. I know its a flawed game, but when it comes down to it, despite the hype-backlash it gets on the internet... I really enjoy the whole setting.

As for Guardian's Crusade, never played it so can't comment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
