Rygar is cool but Sympathy of Night is legit one of the best games ever.

 

[Chris]

I've only played a bit of Symphony of the Night but I could see myself voting for it for a few round still just bc it's so good.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I hate Symphony of the Night and I still think it's better than Rygar.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Never played either

 

[Swamps]

I love both games. However, Rygar introduced myself and other gamers to the art of Grinding. So it gets my vote.

 

[CakeWalker]

Not touched either

 

[Marty McFourth]

I have never played Castlevania personally, but I've watched it played and I liked it a lot. I'll go with that.

I think there's quite a few games in this tournament that I haven't actually played that I'd still end up voting for just from watching vids and stuff and knowing how fun they are lol

I've actually watched a ton of retro games just because of the events like Games Done Quick. I've discovered some really awesome games.

It's really one of the beauties of the internet. You don't need to splash out cash to experience everything, so many good Let's Play channels and whatnot. Obviously it's not quite the same as playing them your self though. Sometimes though I actually enjoy watching a game more than playing it.

Destiny is a prime example. I love watching people figure out the raids, but I hate playing them with random groups. Basically any Puzzle game I hate playing, but love to watch as well.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, I watch a lot more video game channels than I actually play them. It'll probably factor into a lot of my votes.
