I'm only going to respond to two points here, in hopes of not starting a ridiculously long quotes war and because I can tell right now that I really don't want to try and have any discussions with you. But feel free to have the last word after this, if you like - I've only two more things to say to you and I'm done.
here you go:
System Shock
BioForge
Pool of Radiance
Skyrim
Bioshock Infinite
Deus Ex
Vampire: Bloodlines
Knights of the Old Republic
The Secret World
- never played it
- loved it at the time, cannot conceive of playing it now
- SSI Gold Box game? Huge fan of the Gold Box series, cannot rant enough about them.
- I like Skyrim and I don't. TES games are great for creating characters, great for having a huge setting, and then horrible at holding my interest as it feels like there is no THERE there for me; Fallout 3 was better, in it was smaller and more contained with a "stronger" central story; I'm glad Skyrim exists, it's nowhere near a favorite though
- I'll stay on the bandwagon with Infinite with everyone else. A masterpiece. I love Ken Levine
- I came to this one late, as in like a year ago; I can see why it would have been revolutionary at the time, but I couldn't finish it and it certainly doesn't hold up AT ALL (assuming you mean the original and not HR)
- another of my absolute favorites, Brian Mitsoda is awesome, but it's hard to argue with people who point out the ridiculous amount of flaws with this game : Troika didn't even make flawed gems, they gave you diamond dust
- I hate Star Wars with a passion, especially Jedi, but KotOR was an amazing game, one of BioWare's best
- while the setting is intriguing, I do not like MMO's (not for like of trying - I've beta'd numerous ones from Dark Sun Online up to TOR) and will likely never play this, though I've had it on and off of my Steam wishlist (masochist, I know - MMO's will never be what I want, but I keep trying them anyway)
Wait… I didn't just tear them apart? Can that mean I don't WANT to tear them apart, but just want people to be brave enough to list what they like so other people CAN (not WILL, but CAN) tear them apart?
No, of course not. You clearly have me pegged as just not willing to have the slightest iota of comprehension that people have different opinions about entertainment media and what they like and don't. You have me down. No straw man there.
In any case, fair is fair:

Wizard's Crown
Maniac Mansion
Treasures of the Savage Frontier
Knights of Legend
Wasteland
Star Control 2
River City Ransom
Wing Command IV
Full Throttle
Street Fighter 2
Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage
Fallout 2
Starcraft
Icewind Dale
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
Freedom Force
V:TM-Bloodlines
Breakdown
Medieval Total War
Dawn of War
Mass Effect
Dragon Age: Origins
Bioshock
Alpha Protocol
Fallout: New Vegas
The Walking Dead
What straw man are you trying to knock down? Because it's not working.
Uhm… you might want to learn what a straw man fallacy is… as I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, nor am I trying to misrepresent your arguments to ridicule you.
That'd be the guy you see in the mirror every day who's setting up the straw men. At least, that was what I was implying.
Cause I hadn't even been talking to you at all when you quoted me and told me that I just can't accept others having different opinions.
