It was a matter of how disappointed I was in the game. It wasn't like it was the worst game ever made, but after the RPG?/adventure drought the N64 had, I felt I was owed something truly epic. Quest 64 did not do that for me.

If I
just started hating it, there might be something to that, but I paid 60 clams to be more underwhelmed than I had ever felt in my life. So I hated it before I saw a review or opinion on it. If anything I started the trend rather than followed it

That was a pretty fun game, and impossible to find to boot. Refresh my memory, was that done by Capcom?

Truest. Statement. Ever.
My friend and I still sometimes answer each others questions with "go to playOnline to find out" Why the hell should I have to do more work after playing 15 dollars for a book that is supposed to have answers. All I got were pictures?! I could go to a museum, pay less for it, and see much better looking pictures! I don't know if gamers ever got an apology for that, we were certainly owed one.
On the plus side, I was introduced to the concept of printing online guides because of that crap book, so it freed me from paying for walkthroughs.

I can never find anyone who shares this opinion though I find it more rewarding to figure stuff out on my own because I'm a huge fag

On puzzle and most adventure games I agree with that. On stuff like RPGs where an uber item is hidden in the 37th bush in the north part of a village though, I will use guides because I don't have time to search every ppixel of a game and I want to get straight to the game and plot, rather than an insane scavenger hunt.

My girlfriend always talks about that game. I always ask, what do you do on it? And she inevitably says, "you buy stuff and open a store and people buy whatever you sell. You can simulate any store on there." I usually reply, "Or... I can go to any real store in real life."
