Games Your Friends Give You A Hard Time For Playing???

Definitely Valkyria Chronicles. They called it "stupid japanese crap". My friends are idiots.

There seems to be so much hate on JRPGs and similar. I get the same kind of flack. I get grief for liking FF8 more than FF7, as well.

me too

My friends don't generally care what I play. I give my one friend though a hell of a time about FF12. That's actually it though.

My easy out is "It's the wife"….But they never ask" Why is she on your account and not hers" ….:?

killzone 2...

yeah my friends hate that game

they just think cod is the only game thats good

Pokemon. One of the kids in my government class jumped in on me and my friends conversation about it. She asked us rudely "You guys still play Pokemon?" and I answered with "Yeah, like gamers do." She answered back with "Gamers don't play Pokemon. They play Halo." My friend and I find huge FAIL in that quote.nintendoboy16

That's strange because even to fake and ridiculous kids at my school(not the populr ones) respect pokemon :?

mine is Pokemon Platinum, and all Banjo Kazooie games. My friends seem to be under the impression that for a platformer to be good it has to be named Mario...

It helps lol.

Any game that isn't guitar hero or Call of duty 4.

Since all of my friends are casual gamers that only play Halo and Call of Duty, any game I play that isn't those 2 they give me crap about. My friend saw me playing MGS4 and tried playing but then called it "stupid" because he kept getting spotted

Sure, they sale well, but don't tell someone whos put over 200 hours into each of those games that they are casual games.

Friends who aren't gamers give me a hard time about Kingdom Hearts, but my gaming friends all like the series.

Zassimick

Pretty much all my imports.

Inazuma 11

7th Dragon

Ys Origin

Yada, yada, etc.

i dont play it anymore but, i used to and still get payed out for playing WoW.

Even my nug friends who are joining the Marines with me don't seem to give me a hard time about any of them.

If they ask, I just say "They're less like football games and more like Dungeons and Dragons."

They usually smile, go "cool" or "Oh", and then start talking about whatever game they want to play.

Also, most people I openly discuss my gaming hobby with are people with the same tastes.

a lot of my friends have 360s so they just give me a hard time for having a ps3.... but now they don't, because out of 12, 11 are buying ps3 slims.... WORLD DOMINATION!

animal crossing

A have a friend that complains whenever I mention I am playing Pokemon or Mario, but he is barely a gamer. Besides, he is not a person you should take seriously.

My cousin makes fun of me when I play Persona 3 and 4.

LittleBigPlanet, all my friend's think it's a baby game, and make fun of me cuz I'm the only person that they know that has a Platinum on it. :(ReaperPlaya

My friends have been telling me that I have to get that game for a long time because I'm the only one with a PS3. It looks fun, I only wish I could get a demo to try it out first, or rent it. But I can't find it at Blockbuster.

My friends haven't really made fun of any of the games I own because they don't seem to care if I play a game they don't like. Except for one friend who hates World of Warcraft, but he has never made fun of me for playing it.

My cousin gives me a hard time for playing JRPG's. He's fine with WRPG's like Fallout, Oblivion, and Mass Effect. He loves shooters and all that stuff but he gives me a lot of crap about playing things like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.

Yesterday he said he was amazed I like all type of games. His narrow gaming taste can't understand, lol.

I get A LOT of **** from my cousins for playing RPGs.I try to tell them that it has a very long story to it but they just think its stupid that you have to take turns hitting each other even though they play pokemon. I usually end up kicking their asses on FIFA or CoD4 so that shuts them up.

Fat Princess. I wish they would reseach the gameplay a little!

Noby Noby Boy and the Katamari games... even my druggie friends give me a hard time for it :P

I know how you feel, people are so ignorant sometimes.

Now that I think of it my friends aren't the ones who give me crap about it.

Its my family.

My mother classifies all JRPGs as "Sailor Moon games", and regularly points that out to me. Its pretty embarrassing even when no one's around, so God forbid the conversation switches to that when there's any people around, because all it is "You like stuff like Sailor Moon? How cute!" or "Why would you play that?"

My cousins belong to 2 seperate parties: One side are complete rednecks, the other are wannabe gangsters. I don't speak with the redneck portion of my family because I don't really like most of them, and the ones that I do I don't have much in common with so we just have a mutual respect for each other's hobbies. I do spend time with the other side of my family, and for the most part, they're dumbtarded.

They play some games I do like Halo(Used to) or Rainbow Six, but they mostly play games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Madden(They love it, everyone in my family except me alone loves football, when I don't even know how the game works). They always ask me what I'm playing, see it, and then go "...Oh..." and then walk away. Sometimes they want to play, but I don't feel like showing them how to play RPGs they have no knowledge of, and having to sit through the starting portions of those very, very, very long games(Imagine having to walk someone through the first 4 hours of an RPG so they can play it), so I tell them they wouldn't like it.

My dad leaves me alone, and my brothers pretty much exclusively play World of Warcraft. My older brother already left home and is in the Coast Guard, thats all he does in his free time, is play WoW or spend time with his wife, and my little brother just plays WoW all day long.

I'm the only one that likes the games I like for the reasons I like, and its kind of upsetting because I rarely have anyone to talk to about them. I'm used to it though since its been that way my whole life, with my interests being my own. I'm the only member of my family that plays games like Persona, Harvest Moon, etc, and I'm the only one that appreciates them for their story, characters, and the paths you can take on them.

I know how you feel, people are so ignorant sometimes.

Every singe time I play games like Persona or JRPGs, or RPGs at all, I play them alone. I don't like the fact that I'm constantly berated with "Thats so gay or "That looks boring", or "Aren't you joining the military? Aren't you a grown man? Play a real man's game and not this kid's crap!"

Since the family my age that I hang out with likes to think they're smarter, more experienced, and more worldly knowledgeable than I am, I tend to follow my hobbies with some level of secrecy because I'm so sick of the bull****.

Call of Duty fanboys give me crap about any shooter I play.

"lol look at the AI", "this is for noob gamers"

And the dumbest "it doesn't play like COD" :|

Don't say anything because they are scary, scarier than Halo fanboys due to their aptitude in using real-world firearms.

Rofl, I love COD fanboys who say its realistic. Give those kids twenty minutes to test how realistic the game is on a real gun range...they'd blow themselves up and get shot in the face in ten seconds tops.

That's one of the reasons I've never played a Persona game :(.I've heard alot of good things about and was thinking about getting it but the amount of jearing I would get just put me off geting it.

Since my mother uses my room as a workshop for her crafts, I don't have much privacy, so, in order to avoid being mocked of an hour and a half about I like "games for girls", I skip dialogue, and go back and play it later.

When I finished Naoto's social link, I turned the TV off and went to do something else so I could watch the Christmas Eve scene without having to hear about how I was gay for enjoying a love story in a game.

Thankfully, I'm moving out soon, so hopefully I get the kind of barracks where I geta seperate room or at least some kind of privacy to enjoy.

Trauma Center: Under the knife on my DS. My friends just don't get it.

World of Warcraft...oh what terrible things they'd say about me playing that. :cry:

I don't think my friends have ever given me a hard time over a game. My taste is too simplistic for them to criticize; FPS/TPS's and WRPG's.
