ITT That ONE friend who refuses to tryout your CURRENT favorite games

>Random guy in the streets: Hey man, can I borrow 5 bucks please.
>user: Sure.
>Random guy: Thank you and god bless. (Haha, got 5 bucks from that sucker, I'm going to buy me some of that cookie CRACK. BAYBE BAAYYYYYEE)

>user's friend: Dude man, you should get this game it's so fucking awesome! It's only 5 dollar now!
>user's friend proceeds to tell user about off the great things about the game
>user goes on the web to learn the bad things about the game, because he doesn't care about the positives
>user's final answer: EH, I'll pass, not interested. It's has X and I hate X. Also, Y. I can't stand Y either. Not worth the 5 bucks.

haha wow nice blog entry where's the follow button?

fuck user's friend

Sensei was 2nd best girl behind Saki

right here my dude
*unzips dick*

Who was in the wrong here?

DEEZ NUTTZ

Great thread you insecure fag

takes a few seconds to hand someone money, I'm not wasting hours of my life on your web shit.

But user it's one of the best games ever made! Stop being a poorfag, it's 5 bucks.

What game is it? I'm interested in it, now.

Ouch that must be painful.

It's no longer 5 bucks, STEAM sale has ended.

Nigga I'm currently jumping between three games, putting off finishing a fourth and have a back log of two other games I bought this last year. I'm not spending time on some game if I know it has stuff I'm not interested because some dick head recommended it to me.

I want to marry Shizuka!

I want to lead her on then leave her for a younger woman!

What about the opposite where your friend will only play a game you fucking hate but you enjoy the guy's company so you play that shitty game and slowly start to hate your friend cause he wont fucking play a good game?

every game has something you hate about it. no game is perfect.

Not him but correct. Every game has things you hate about it. However, games have target audiences and pushing a game to somebody who's not interested in the genre/setting/gameplay is stupid.

Some people don't know what they like thought and will use anything as an excuse to not play it.

It's like.... you have this guy who is extremely good at Street Fighter(can/has even beat pros online), but he doesn't go to any tournaments. Therefore, he's wasting he time and his potential. When a new fighter is announced he refuses to play it, or.... he buys it, plays for a few days then goes back to Street Fighter. What's the point of investing so much time into this particular competitive game if you're not going to do anything with the skills you've mastered throughout your journey? It's like going to college getting a degree and working at McDonalds. I know it happens but holyshit.

What did he mean by this?

Funny you mention this example because I have to explain this all the time. People who like Fighting game X are not going to like Fighting game Y just because they're both Fighting Games.

I like DoA. Do you think I will like Tekken or Virtua Fighter or Soul Calibur? No. I like DoA. I like playing as Gen Fu. I don't care how good I am in reference to my peers I like playing through survival or at my locals and wrecking shit with Gen Fu. Stop recommending me Tekken. I don't want to play Tekken. I want to play DoA. No I don't care that a new Soul Calibur is announced. I want to play DoA. Stop recommending me Soul Calibur.

Furthermore games aren't skills you HAVE to utilize. If you just want to play casually, that's an option. Just because you play a competitive game and happen to be good does not mean that you must compete when you don't want to. It's not like getting a degree and working out at mcdonalds. It's like becoming particularly good at baseball but deciding you'd rather just play with your coworkers

fucking checked those 5s

A game of pretend?

I've got a friend like the OP who has been trying to get me to play Overwatch and buy into Star Citizen, just fuck off I don't impose my tastes on you.

>waahhh why wont you play this game even though you're not at all interested in it?
No, fuck you, OP. I know somebody like you who won't shut up and keeps pestering me to buy an Xbox One with Destiny 2 and For Honour. I don't want to play games with you.

the switch

If you're constantly beating pro (although it's in an online environment) then there is potential there. It's one thing to just be consistent at beating up on everyone else, but also beating pros you run into in-game means something. And to even get this good means that you invested a lot of time into the game that casuals wouldn't do.

>I only like DOA
Then you don't like fighting games. Maybe you should explain that to your friends.

People who don't enjoy video games for their own sake and mainly play them to facilitate social interaction do this.

I have a friend who sends me a million things a day to check out, but never reciprocates. I've avoided so much media because I just have an adversity to it.

I recorded an album, and despite the fact that he hasn't listened to it he sends me his music all the time. Your friend is a soy boy, OP

Jeez you guys suck. Your friend just wants to play games together, why is this so hard to understand? I'm pretty sure s/he'd do the same for you.

I don't have any friends who play video games

DoA is my 3D fighter of choice. And the only people I explain this to is people online. If we're going 2(.5d) fighters than I play Street Fighter, Marvel 2, 98, 00, and 01. I used to play a lot of BB but found myself just going back to MvC2.

I know people like you though. Who just because you compete lightly thinks that you should try to go pro. That's such a waste of time and effort. I go to both my locals and my major. I do so in DoA now in the few instances where there's a tourney at all but otherwise just spectate. And that's the thing. People at any kind of active scene understand this principle. That just because you're good doesn't mean you should "take it to the next level". That enjoying a hobby as a casual is absolutely fine.

It's only people online or people that like to impose can't figure that out. Oh and by the by, people don't judge your taste of game by the game you play either. I saw people you wouldn't believe having just as much fun with all star battle when that was new.

I would if I could

It's called mutual agreement. Not doing whatever the fuck somebody asks.

quit fucking kidding yourself. You're not a fucking "pro" at DoA.

Why does it matter what your friends think about your favourite games? They might fucking hate the genre in general. You're no less friends even if they fucking hate that game in particular for whatever reason.

>Friend wants me to play Game X
>Tell him I'm not interested in it
>Says he'll buy it for me from the next sale if I don't get it before then
>Please don't
>Gifts it to me months later
>Three years later still haven't touched it
I fucking told you you faggot.

There's no such thing as a "pro" at DoA.

What animu?

>I know people like you though. Who just because you compete lightly thinks that you should try to go pro. That's such a waste of time and effort.

I played and followed most fighting games starting the 09er era. I have TWO friends who went pro and one of won a few majors. Sure I don't talk to them as much today but back then we played together every single day. The others made excuses and just fell off the map due to the repetition.

People don't recommend you 3D fighting games, they recommend you whatever is coming out soon. At least that's what happens in my world. I play 90% of them. ight now Under Night In-Birth is my main fighter.

Pretty sure his picture is Darker than Black

>That one friend who deserpately wants me to play their favorite game, but knows I can't afford it and it's multiplayer only
>He, as a wealthy man won't even buy it when it's on sale for $1

>Be poor fag with no job last year
>Spend Christmas money on other people for gifts
>"Hey, this is my favorite game this year and it seems like something you'd like since it's a lot like (Other game he asked for), I can buy it for you if you like"
>5 minutes played since last year
>Didn't play the other game he asked for much either

Shit sucks.

I don't have any friends.

>me: do you want to play [fun fps game]?
>they: nah, fps don’t make you think. i’ll stick to my [strategy game]. wanna join? it’s just $30!
>me:n-no thanks
>they: man, you never want to play

i just hate micromanagement ;(

What the fuck do I care what other people play you stupid fucking NEET?

Stop being a faggot
Stop playing shit games
Stop playing shit games you don't like just because it's the only way to talk to someone
Force them to answer their phone or message you somewhere else

Don't let them suck you into playing league/wow/dota/cs/whatever for 5 years

nice 5

holy shit are you me?

Here's a list of shit that's happened with so far:
Terraria
Don't Starve Together
Tabletop Sim
Minecraft
Payday2
Warframe (he gave me platinum in 2015 as a gift despite me not playing it since january 2013, and yes, it turned to shit by mid 2013)
Dark Souls (if I'm playing it I'm not going to use summons / do 'coop')
Starcraft 2 (except I did end up playing this one with him I'll admit)

>he didn't just straight up gift copies of Nekopara to his normie friends during the Steam sale

Are you poor?

oregairu

How about you give me this friend of yours. I'd love to play those games with him as well as enjoy his gifts. You don't deserve such a good friend. Give him to me.

>inb4 realize the quality of his friend and refuses to give him away but also refuses to play his game

You are shit.
