Who's embarassed to buy some games?

I definately disagree with comforming to what people think about me, but I still find myself somewhat embarassed to by "childesh" games. I need to get over definately! It's so much fun arguing with the a-holes that are the offenders though like in gamestop and stuff. I usually resort to scores from websites and magazines, which is a dumb idea. Giving intelligent insults is a lot better :)

I feel embarrased looking in the Manga section in book stores a lot too:(

I wouldnt be embarassed for buying hello kitty island adventure

haha I would be embarassed.

I'm a DS owner, and i love the games and the system itself. One of the best RPG's however is POKEMON... but being a teenager, i feel pretty embarassed to buy it at a local game shop. Gahh, I know i'm missing out, but there's no way you can get me to pick up a game of pokemon with everyone else there staring at me...

Does anybody else have a problem when it comes to buying childish games? Are you embarassed to buy certain titles from your game shop?

But who cares, I mean, they dont even know who its for, just make up a story that its for your little brother/cousin or something, and if you are afraid to do that then you must be somewhat un social, so who cares about what they think then?

Yes, considering that I buy Harvest Moon games, and the next one will be called "Island of Happiness".

I'm still getting it, but in all seriousness, I look nothing like the kind of person who would buy a game called "Island of Happiness".

Personally I find games like GTA to be way more childish and immature then pokemon. Its not childish just because it has a whimsical look. Someone could say the movies Tim Burton makes are childish because they are whimsical. Get over it. Don't care what people think. Once I stopped caring what people thought of me I became a VERY happy person.

I found it kind of hard to find movies like Edward Scissorhands, where there's a guy with big scissors for hands whimsical.

If you feel embarassed, ask for a gift receipt to go with the game, as it may give the idea to the cashier that it's for a gift.

I wasn't really embarrassed when I bought Pokemon diamond since its a decent game. I was however embarrassed when I got my friend DOAX2 for his 17 birthday (as a joke). there were little kids at the store with their moms waiting behind me when I asked for it. I felt like a perv. for buying the game. I still feel bad about how the moms stared at me. :lol: Its kind of funny. I won't try to play a prank like that again.

I'm 22 and I had no problems announcing to the guy at the store that I wanted to buy Pokemon Diamond. Trust me, nobody's going to be staring at you if you buy the game. Nothing childish about enjoying a great game.GabuEx
