    Games with “tank” controls like Tomb Raider or Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. I find them painful and unenjoyable.

      Yuck, yeah. I remember so much of the tension in the first Resident Evil was fighting with the damn controls. It’s like trying to run away from something in a dream, and your body isn’t doing what you want it to!

      SR1 was nowhere near as bad as Tomb Raider. The combat was a bit boring and the puzzles were repetitive, but the platforming was significantly more viable than Tomb Raider.

      I mean, I haven’t touched either game in over two decades, and I only briefly played Tomb Raider versus the hundreds of hours I spent in all the Legacy of Kain games, and I frequently watch cutscene “movies” of the LoK titles, but I’m sure that hasn’t created a bias in me whatsoever.

    I don’t mean to go against the spirit of the thread, but I don’t avoid anything. I only go after what I want. No one is trying to force PSX games on me

      This is the main category for me, if it’s a ported PC game I’ll play it on PC (quake 2, command & conquer, etc)
