Are you embarrassed to reveal your real taste in games to others?

What others?
My doggo?

>"what's your favorite video game user?"
>"deus ex"
>"what's that?"

No, everyone I know either plays the same games or totally different ones. No point in lying about it.

>"what kind of posts you make on forums?"
>"pepe and feel guy memes"
kill yourself

KEK

normies would actually laugh and love that since pepe is mainstreamed to hell and back now.

Rules of conversation
>Subject X relates to quality Y of the person/people you're talking to
There's like one person in my circles of friends that I can sperg out with, the rest are 'Normies' that I can't.

Not really, but it usually depends from person to person.

they laugh at it online
but you're a pariah if you bring it up irl

I just lie and say it's Destiny or MKX. Lying to normies is so easy.

Embarrassed? For what reason?

How insecure are you faggots? Lmao.

I only play Zelda games and unique games with moderate replay value but unique gameplay like Sin & Punishment, so no. And unlike Sup Forums I can objectively destroy anyone in an argument about game merits. All I have to do is mention non-linearity and the other person instantly goes into defensive mode.

SM64 kind of shed light on this phenomena for Sup Forums. You just have to say "Video games have gone backwards since Mario 64" and then say "But X does Y pretty well" you've already won any video game argument in a sense.

You sound like a big faggot

and yet we still use it.

Remember when we (or well, the old users of Sup Forums) made an exodus of all the memes like trollface (aka coolface), rageface and the like to the point of posting them would get you banned?
This should happen again, but i doubt it won't since pepe and wojack are memes that won't go because they are the virtual incarnation of every user of this place.
Jaded

Retarded
Socially inept

and probably a closet homo

This alone makes me wish i made a backup of all my files before [HORRIBLE STUFF] happened. Otherwise i'd be breaking rules and make people angry.

Nope.

>What games you play user?
>I play the Metal Gear Solid.
>What's that?
>It's an obscure Japanese indie game. It's like Escape from New York and James Bond combined. It's a true masterpiece but you wouldn't understand.

>"what kind of games do you like?"
>"pretty much anything that sounds interesting, rpgs are my favourite though"
>"ah, okay"

That's how it would go if I still would interact with people.

I'e been ery lucky to run into all kinds of people, who have played all kinds of vidya. I have nothing to be embarrassed about, especially since I don't play weebshit stuff. I do like to shame my faggot friends for playing weeb games though.
Slavs are pretty bro-tier about these things.

>butthurt that his favorite game is not as good as SM64.

Spongebob battle for bikini bottom is better than SM64

i used to be, but now that things like dark souls and game of thrones are normalfag levels of popular, i'm not embarassed at all

no one ever knew what demons souls was so i never spoke about it

now that "souls" is essentially a genre, it's pretty easy to bring it up without having people scratch their heads

Yeah, kinda. City builders, grand strategy, and management come off as a little lame.

No. Nobody must know what music I listen to though.

No.

>Caring
Kek

That's the least embarrassing games tbqh.

>Still thinking that societal standards aren't important

kek

You think so? I mean it's not "immature", but the fact that's not all actiony like everything else makes me feel like a dork.

I'm more embarrassed to reveal that I like games than I am to reveal what games I like.

In fact if it comes up I think it's better to tell someone that you are into a particular game, rather than games in general. It makes you look discerning and focused.

X: What sort of stuff do you like?
Y: Video games!
X: Oh, a faggot.

A: So what are you into?
B: Lately I've been spending a lot of time on this video game called Dark Souls. My girlfriend likes to watch me play it, so it's something we can enjoy together when we aren't doing crosswords.
A: Oh, a faggot!

On second thought, there might be reasons I don't talk to anyone about anything.

>shadowslayer99
>probably born in 99
>this person is likely 17 now

Holy fucking shit I'm so old. Please help me.

The fact that those games call on skills and interests that aren't limited to vidya is a plus. GS buffs as a rule are into history, and there are people who have even paid money to get degrees in that. Some of them are really cute, even though they are in terrible debt.

Worst case, a NORP might think you are talking about the Sims etc. which even they play sometimes.

...

I don't. I know what I like. Other people don't like what I like and that's fine. Let's try this. R8 my taste fuckers.

Timesplitters 2
Resident Evil 4
Pokemon Black
Destiny
Dark Souls
Portal 2
Bayonetta
Mario Galaxy
Guitar Hero 5

>Years ago at high school
>sitting in class with my headphones on
>hey user what're you listening to
>takes my MP3 player and plugs it into class speakers
>it's the yodelling section of Hocus Pocus by Focus
>spaghetti

meh

those are girls.
If girls do it, it's considered cute.
If a guy does it, he's considered a loser.

This

I try to avoid the subject, because i'm a faggot that gets hurt with people's opinion.
Anyway my favorite games are:
Dmc3
NGBlack
MGR
MGS psx
SF3rd Strike
MK 9
DKC
Re4
Nfsu2 - Nfsmw

>When your taste in vidya is too obscure for the normies
>But your taste is too pleb for the autismos

forgot to add
MvC1-3
All Metal slugs

>hiding your depression behind deep layers of irony

ma nigga

No because my taste is excellent and I often persuade others to try it as well.

This
>openly talk about how I play Euro Truck Simulator 2 non-ironically
>can never, EVER show off my music tastes despite them not being too bad

I wish I could know if my music tastes were considered cringe-worthy without actually having to talk about them to people.

Hahahahahah

I only hide that I play eroge from my friends
When asked what I'm playing by random people I usually say Counter Strike
>"what's that?"
>it's a shooting game
>"oh like Call of Duty?"
>y-yeah
Favourite game is MGS3 though
>"What's that game about?"
>you sneak through a jungle
>"..."
I should probably work on that

I haven't talked about videogames with people irl in years but my favorite game is mgs3 so I really don't care.
my nig

not too good but not bad either

I give it a 7.5

>"hey what are you listening to?"
>tell em
>"oh cool let me listen"
>do so
>they proceed to insult me

It's mostly just disappointing because of how little overlap I get with most people. Everyone I met at college last year were either normies who only played AAA multiplayer games or were only interested in a genre that i didn't care for.

I'd love to talk about video games IRL but no one seems to share my taste in video games or talking about vidya is looked down upon.

Most people I know are fucking plebs who just play whatever's popular. The current in game is Overwatch, which I haven't played yet so I can't talk about it really.

I kind of hate it though, because there's this undercurrent view that if you don't play what's "cool" then you're a fucking nerd or something. I can't ever really talk about the games I like to play because it's mostly Nintendo games or hardcore action games like Devil May Cry or something.

>normie aquaintance asks you about upcoming games
>basically already thinks you're a go-to guy on vidya
>fucking hate being seen that way so you give dismissive answers
>"nah I haven't really been playing much these days"
