I'm really frustrated now cause so many people who I know that have a 360, are criticizing me cause I don't have any online games and especially shooters! I understand that online gaming is a big trend nowadays but when will anyone understand that I DON'T PLAY ONLINE GAMES!?!?!? I do play shooters just not those like Halo or Gears of War in which the campaign is like a few hours short and all there is left to do is play online especially with people I have never met! I got my 360 as a gift one year ago. I never even wanted it but I didn't want to act ungrateful and sell or give it away. All I have are Fable 2, GTA IV, The Lost and Damned, Rock Band 2, Street Fighter IV, and Soulcalibur IV along with some games from the LIVE Arcade. Apparently, my 360 collection is bad cause I don't have some of the 360's hits like Gears. Maybe cause it doesn't interest me! Thats what I tell people but then they say I have bad taste in games! I play whatever I want! And why do people always hate on a console they don't have!? I buy certain consoles with certain games that interests me!!! Not cause everyone is playing it!!! Why do people even criticize me about my games!?!? They must have no life or nothing else better to think or do!!! I play for entertainment!!! NOT for showing off, following others, or competition!!!

You should tell him that its your money and you will spend it your way. Don't insult him or anything but make it clear that you play what you want. You eventually need to get to the point where you don't give a damn about what people think of your tastes, family members or not.

Every game in your collection is online, so people saying it is bad because you don't have any online games are mooses. (Yes, mooses.) Sometimes games are built around online though like Halo 3 so if you don't have online you might bash the game for being bad when really you haven't experienced the focus of the game, that's the only reason I can think of for it being bad to not play online, but if you don't like it then that's fine.

i know what u mean. i think gears of war is overrated game. last gen was great because the games were longer then now where they are like 5 hour long. fable 2 is a great single player game to play. there is nothing wrong with liking games that are not popular. i play dark sector sometimes because i think that game is underrated.

I do tell him that but he is such a d-bag even after that! He starts saying things like how hes been gaming since the 70s or 80s! I tell him that I don't care!

No! My family members are the ones not my friends! Actually, I just got to know them. They don't know what games I play however, I wouldn't play games with them cause they are like gods comparing to me so I watch them.

I don't bash games though unless I've played them. I've played Halo 3 before but couldn't get into it and I got bored with it. Same experience with Gears of War and Call of Duty.

That's when you pull something witty like:

"You've been gaming for that long and you still fell into the hype of shallow boring overated on line shooters like a violence obessed 13 year? No wonder I don't trust your judgement worth ****"

If that doesn't shut him up then keep working at it, only so much you can here that before you just stop bothering.

Just go with it. If your sarcastic/witty back, he may not bother arguing with you since you won't give him a real answer. It bothers people when you completely disregard their opinion that they are trying to force on you. You could also just start doing the same thing to him but in the extreme so he gets the idea.

Preferably I would hope it doesn't come to this but.........................

There's nothing wrong with playing games offline, there are plenty of good games that are mainly SP. Online MP is being overused and simply pasted into games that don't even need it way too much anyways.

Your uncle is stupid. If he thinks that being older than you gives him better "taste" in games, then he's not the sharpest tool in the box (but a tool nonetheless, lolol). It's all about personal opinion. I know I'm not exactly saying anything new, but don't let him get to you. He obviously wants a reaction out of you, so either make a witty remark (as previously mentioned) or totally ignore him. You're clearly not the only one who thinks he's a d-bag, anyway.
