-Honestly, I think GoW would be. But apparently it isn't. I dunno. It's moderately fun, I guess. (Only really played 1,2 and Chains of Olympus tho)  >_>

-I only do one self-imposed challenge, really. No items. I find myself subconsciouly doing it in RPGs as well. My skill level is not high enough for the more ex-tier challenges.

I just like harder games because they're fewer and far-inbetween. So while waiting for a hard game, I'll chill down with a visual novel or a Civilization game. -Do you think he works for that guy that made the Crossover videos for Game Theory?

-And that's why I ignore it. The fact that GoW is not included in the genre proves that most people that use said term use it only so their favorite games are not put alongside the games they don't like. There is no difference between "HnS" and "Character Action", they are the exact same thing. People only made that genre because they don't want their cool leather pants Dante put together with baldy McAngsty Kratos.

That's like saying Soul Calibur is not a fighting game like Tekken. They both are, but some people that like SC hate Tekken and as such don't want to believe they are the same genre. It's just dumb discrimination caused by likes and dislikes.

-I end up making almost-no-Item runs in every RPG I play. I just have an easier time not using them. "Agi stone" that casts Agi in the enemy? Bah, I'll just use the spell myself and later recover MP. The only items I ever use are healing and MP items, and those tend to get ignored once I get Mediarahan/Samararecarm/Recarmdra/Their equivalents.

-Civilization isn't exactly easy (though cheaply dificult)....and some VN make some endings hard to reach (F/SN).
