I Didn't Like Portal or Bioshock
Totally Tubular Thomas \| 7:34 AM on 04.07.2008	19 comments

First Post. Fuck all that 'oh ive been a lurker for a while decided to join blah blah fucking blah'.

I am prepared for the torrent of obscenities and general hatred that will be directed towards me for this - but I didn't think either Portal or Bioshock were as transcendently incredible as they were hyped to be. Now I don't know if this was because they didn't pander directly to my tastes, or because everyone didn't shut up about how amazing they were.

Has anyone here been affected by hype disappointing and leading to an ultimate distaste for the game in question?

about me

Name: Thomas
Location: Eudlo, Australia
Age: 17

I play any game I can get my hands on, but I have a very short attention span for them.

Some of my favorite games are:

Half Life 2
Metal Slug Series
Gears of War
Guitar Hero Series
Odin Sphere
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
Super Smash Bros Series
Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan

I'm also trying to develop a taste for retro games, but it often takes more patience than I'm capable of. I joined this site to meet like-minded gamers, so if you want to hear another Australian on Xbox Live or hear bullshit stories about kangaroo riding, add me.
