Closet gamer - Video games you would rather die than admit to have enjoyed playing

[Korten12]

Mabiniogi
I just love it for some unknown reason. All my friends talk about WoW while I just nod my head in sarcasastic agreement.
People think Mabinogi is for losers and weaboos.

Mabinogi was kind of fun, its just hard to get into but it has unique features.

I would say Vindictus (Mabinogi's prequel) is a lot more fun though.

Closest thing that comes to mind is Katamari Damacy... I don't hide the fact that I play it, though. Turning up the volume does catch me an occasional odd look.

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

Well ... uh ...
AdventureQuest (AQ). Yes, AdventureQuest.
I really don't know why I like it, even! I'm not a 'guardian' character because even I wouldn't give these people twenty dollars of my money that could've been spent on actual games that consist of more that turn-based combat and a bunch of stupidly dressed people with stupid names who talk stupidly. What that means is that I can only learn 5 of the total 10 of skills in any given special class. That really hampers my enjoyment, but hey, if I could be a guardian character without losing so much money, I might play it more.
I'm trying to quit my stupid-people-fighting-stupid-monsters-in-stupid-turn-based-combat addiction at the moment ... just as soon as I get to level 55 and buy that new set of armor that lets you ride on a giant wolf's back!
Then I'll stop! I swear!

I'm not twelve so I couldn't worry less about what people think of the games/movies/music I enjoy.

 

[Zayren]

WoW for me, since it's like a taboo among my friends for some reason. I just keep getting desires to play it at the most random times, haha.

 

[Distazo]

I was addicted to Farmville for almost a month, I still shudder when I think about it. I enjoyed it at the time.

Thank you extra credits for rationalizing it to me. Damn you Skinner!

 

[Mariner]

I know some people who play VNs

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Kirby and Pokemon. I'd rather be dead than let anyone know that I play those games.


odd, considering I'm VERY open about of my love of Mega Man.

>.>

 

[Mechsoap]

I once enjoyed playing ''my little pony: the game''...
Please stop starring at me like that..

 

[F-I-D-O]

AvP (the new one)
It's fun. Stupid, but fun
I don't know if I'd kill, but people would most likely say "Shouldn't you be playing a better shooter?"

TFU2
Again, it's fun
Same as above

The Legendary Starfy
Fun, decent platformer
I'm expected to play the FPS/TPS/Fighting games, or be a master tactician in RTS. I'm not expected to enjoy playing as a cute little star who swims a lot. The dialogue is also atrocious.

 

[F-I-D-O]

Kirby and Pokemon. I'd rather be dead than let anyone know that I play those games.


odd, considering I'm VERY open about of my love of Mega Man.

Had to be done.
But he's Mega Man, much more manlier than having a shark beat up a stingray, while a giant rock monster beats up a rat.
And who doesn't like Kirby? He's Kirby. He's even angry (read: manly) in America.

 

[Irridium]

WarioWare Smooth Moves for the Wii.

Fuck off, its fun dammit!

 

[Arnoxthe1]

Diddy Kong Racing.

Don't hurt me! I don't play it anymore!

And what's so terrible about Guild Wars?

 

[SturmDolch]

I really don't know - there's probably a lot of games I play that people would put under that category (e.g. what is known as 'The Scribblenauts Era'), but I really don't care all that much. If I enjoy it, I play it, and hell to what you think.

This.

Plus, each game you play gives you experience as a gamer. Bad games help you determine what makes a game bad. Popular games help you determine why the game is popular. You learn something no matter what you play.

 

[DethKid]

Viva La Pinata and Resturaunt Story on my iPhone

Although I happily tell people

Im just a bit masochistic that way

 

[subject_87]

Runescape.
>.>
<.<

I did this as well, probably mostly out of a mix of 'not knowing any better' and 'being young and impressionable'. Looking back on it, I can only wonder what the hell I was thinking.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Animal Crossing, I have no clue why I love it, one of the reasons I may get the 3ds.
Reason why I wont admit is, I'm usually a ass-hole, and not none for a soft side, also hanging out with the "in-crowd" at school wouldnt really help my image.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

1; Trauma Center
2; The whole idea of saving lives instead of taking them is amazing, and the story has me keep coming.
3; I would be killed cause I talk about killing so many things in games, yet here I am saving the lives.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

i used to be super into some of those cartoon network flash games, and i would hide them to the death from anyone!

oh and my dad walked in seeing me playing kingdom hearts and called me a ****** so i'm semi hiding that game =\

personally i think that game has the perfect blend of rpg/action/customizing+ a disney and final fantasy story? they did it amazingly well.
