My friend is xenophobic of Japanese video games, how do I convince to try (cont)

1. Don't.
2. Who gives a sh*t?
3. Why should I care?
4. Do aliens exist?
5. Why is my toe itchy?

Choos any of the above.

Get a new friend.tagyhag

^^This!

I'd go with the above options, but before this gets locked, floor him with Shadow of The Colossus.

Just get rid of him

Blabadon

Can't really blame him for not liking those two. I'm Japanese, and I can't stand them.

But yeah, your friend sounds a little slow.

You said Scott Pilgrim and Castle Crashers are considered "Japanese" to him. What exactly is his definition of "Japanese" anyway?

Him not liking Japanese games is fine by me. But him using the term "Japanese" to describe anything that doesn't interest him is very odd.

Seems like he has issues. Maybe some Japanese dude banged his mom. :P

find a japanese game that looks like a western game

and tell him it's a western game

if he enjoys the game, then tell him the truth

How about just accepting him for who he is?

Having too many friends with similar tastes alienates you from the rest of the world. Not everybody is going to like what you like and nor should they.

you havent tried king of fighters or dark souls?lawl work harder

Oh if he think VANQUISH of all games is bad.... Just put him out of his misery....he shouldn't be a living in this world. Voyant

It was all a joke bro :P You didn't need to answer.

In other words, if your friend doesn't care, then why should you. I don't try to introduce my friends to everything I like.

Start shoving tons of Japanese stuff in his face until he hates you.

Don't bother. Dudebros will be dudebros.Eponique

This pretty much. It would be hard to convince anyone drunk on FPS games to play something different.

If you tried to convince him to play something like Eternal Sonata his dudebro status would clearly be at stake.

Sorry man, its hard to tell jokes from sarcasm on the internet. My bad manSonicNextGen2

Tis all good. Don't worry about your friend... Not everybody is gonna like eveyrthing you like... Even the GF's :P

Well, if he doesn't like Castlevania, then you should look for a new friend.

Let him try dungeons and dragons shadow over mystara.

How the hell is ninja gaiden too japanese for him? Does he just suck at playing video games and want to shoot stuff?

Show him some asian porn. He'll come aroundOreoMilkshake

But it's all censored:evil:

Implying that many japanese games aren't dudebro lmfao.

Yeah, it sucks that they're so narrow-minded.

I don't think there's anything you can do.

The only thing I can think of is try showing him a Japanese game that looks like a western game.

Resident Evil 4 or 5 might do nicely. It's got plenty of guns and violence.

I also know some dudebro gamers who like Soul Calibur.

Also, NOBODY can hate Super Smash Brothers.

You should try Vanquish. Maybe he'll like that.

The Resident Evil series is a good blend of western and Japanese style.
