Video Game Meme

Tagged by the wonderful @atarostarling.  Full disclosure, I’m terrible at these question memes.  In fact, I’m still pondering over the other one you sent me for the 10 fandoms one. T_T

Favorite Game from the last 5 years. Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild, the Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn. It’s really hard for me to decide between the three of them...they’ve all left such a lasting impression for me in terms of game play, design and the top class art direction.

Most nostalgic game. Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy Tactics

Game that deserves a sequel. Well the Last of Us is getting one so… :D

Game that deserves a remaster. As of now, I can think of many things I want to remake but none of which I want to remaster.  There’s quite a few Vita games I want ported to the PS4 though like the older Metal Gear games...but those don’t classify as remasters correct?

Favorite game series. The Legend of Zelda. Every time I play the latest game in the series, I think to myself: ‘this is it, there’s no future Zelda title that can top this one” but time and again, I'm proven wrong.  Except maybe Skyward Sword.  But even that one had its moments!

Favorite Genre. Tactical and/or open world RPGs, FPS, Melee, Fighting games…I’ll play anything with decent lore + world building or fun game play mechanics. The modern Zelda games always manage to combine a little bit of everything extremely well, which is why I continue to play them despite the similar objectives and basic plots.

Least Favorite. Otome/Dating-Sims, Visual novels.  Games that heavily involve clicking and reading through walls of exposition text are not engaging and the cartoony art styles don’t help in the slightest.  BUT, if Hideo Kojima directed one, I’d definitely play the shit out of that! Probably ‘cause he’d make it weird...but at least it would be an interesting experience!

Favorite Song for a Game. I really loved the all the music of FFXV, both the main game and the bros’ DLCs.  Its a shame the core game doesn’t live up to the epicness of the soundtrack.

Favorite Character from a game. Ugh, there’s so many I could list, but for brevity’s sake: Beatrix (FFIX) or Emily Caldwell (Dishonored 2).  I love a good kickass lady that exudes class.  My favorite character to draw of course is Ignis (FFXV).

Favorite ship from a game. I usually gloss over romance/romantic subplots in games.  But I do like Leon and Ada.

Favorite voice actor from a game. Matthew Mercer as Leon Kennedy.  I'm really sad to hear he's not going to voice Leon in the RE2 remake. T_T

Favorite Cutscene. Balthier and Fran’s banter during the ending of FFXII always makes me laugh. Noctis’s bowling mishap in the recent Tekken is also amazing to behold.

Favorite Boss. In recent memory, Noctis.

First console. N64.

Current console. PS4, Switch.

Console you want. None at the moment.

Place from a video game that you’d like to visit? Meridian from Horizon Zero Dawn.  Really anywhere in HZD.  Guess I could always take a trip to Colorado, Wyoming, or Utah again to frolic around in the National Parks!

Place from a game that you’d like to live in? I’ll build myself a tree house somewhere in the HZD landscape. :D

Ridiculous crossover that would never happen but would be super fun?  I’d like to see the Chocobros in Soul Calibur since they’re already decked out in flashy fighting game outfits as it is.  Or I'd love to place Balthier (FFXII), Mustadio (FFT), and Prompto (FFXV) in the same room.  I guess it would cool if Balthier and Ignis met as well.

Book that would make a great game?  Oh boy, the last dozen books I’ve read were non-fiction.  How about Dune?  Is there a Dune video game?  If there was, I wouldn’t be surprised, but that still gets my vote!

Movie/Show that would make a great game?  Kubo and the Two Strings has a lot of aspects that I can picture translating into fun mechanics (origami weapons yo!).  The art style is also pretty fantastic and is definite mood.  The Kingsman movies also feel quite video game-like in tone too.  I would so love to play as Gazelle, even if she is a baddie. :D

Game you want to play? God of War (still waiting for my sister to finish the post game stuff) and Bloodborne (thanks to Ataro's streams).  I usually set aside $200 a year for games, game subscriptions but since I've already hit that limit earlier this year, guess I’ll have to wait, or just borrow games

Have you gotten 100% completion in a game? In terms of trophies/achievements?  No clue.  I always sell off my older consoles before I purchase new ones, to recup costs.  I'm fairly certain I finished Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask to 100%.  Maybe FFVIII as well.

Have you cried over a game? The Last of Us for sure, but I did feel a few tears well up here and there during Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons, and Episode Ignis.

What power-up or ability would you want in real life? It’s a toss up between the ability to cast elemental magic or the winged hats from Super Mario...the latter would do wonders for my commute. :)
