Poll: Games you get laughed at for playing

[leumasx7]

This: [Frets on Fire]
Take away the spiky hair and shades and you look like a retard.

You actually held the keyboard like that? I love playing FoF, but the only time I tried the keyboard thing was when I was certain that no one was around... xD

I got laughed at because of Sims, jeez wonder why... To be fair, everyone was hyped up over Sims 1 back then (I still like it today, but shhh, that will be our little secret). Plus, it's not really so girly to torture a bunch of simulations, right? I thought setting people on fire was cool.

PS2/XBOX Guitar hero controller, USB Game controll hub for PS2/XBOX ($10-$20)

Sims, I guess.

Oh, and Creatures when I feel like it.

Damn it Escapist, It's nearly afternoon and I meant to start my essay hours ago. Curse you and your engrossing conversation!

 

[Snuggle]

I played Restaurant Empire. I got laughed at a lot for that.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I got laughed at by my friends for playing Canis Canem Edit. That game was/is awesome.

It was a hell of a lot more fun the GTA4, that's for sure.

I don't think there's an english video game I'd get laughed at for playing. Then again, I'm not one for playing games out of left field like a barbie horse game or somethin.

 

[Woodsey]

Peggle.
My friends think it is a "pussy" game.
But it's so awesome.

What?!

Your friend's a pussy. With a side-order of pussy. And extra pussy.

And none of that pussy is the good kind.

OT: The Force Unleashed got a little chuckle when I mentioned. But that's because Star Wars isn't cool, not because the game isn't that great (which it isn't).

I guess people weren't too happy with me playing doom back in school. I guess the story telling, characterization and graphics aren't quite up to what is available today.

Melty blood was another game they quite didn't understand, since Guilty Gear XX filled the spot of over the top animu fighter. Sure, melty is infinitely broken and all, but it doesn't mean you can have some fun with it eh?

Metal Gear Solid 4, apparently. Everyone I know owns a 360 and makes fun of me for having a PS3, and especially for liking a PS3 exclusive. I could talk forever about how it's a good game and PS3 is a good system, but 360 fanatics (mostly teabagging douchebags in my experience) have to be THE BEST and how only their games are the best. I don't care if the 360's controller is optimized for shooters and doubles as a bludgeon in an emergency, I actually like sixaxis, pressure-sensitive buttons, and a light controller. So sue me, Tx0_Cheddar!!!

A gamepad optimised for shooters? Now there's a joke.

Can't comment on the effectiveness of bludgeoning someone with one though.

I was playing the first 'Commando' games and got laughed at because they are so old(but still awesome).

 

[I Resurection I]

Yeah i get laughed at for playing kingdom hearts 2

 

[Xanian]

My favorite game of all time is Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse for the PS2.

...I don't care. It is AWESOME!

 

[Taerdin]

WoW. That is all.

well yeah, however you won't get particulary laughed at when you play WoW.

It's more of an insurance for your social status to reach 0 with the girls.

Actually the first time I ever had a girlfriend was when I was playing WoW.

But in all fairness it only lasted about 2 months...

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Sin and Punishment. Apparently it's "trash" to which I reply by telling them to go choke on a phallic instrument.

 

[Sigel]

Dance Dance Revolution....I had forgotten to put the dance pad away one day, and every one in my gaming group saw it. I still live down the shame.

 

[hotacidbath]

Freshmen year my roommate and I were playing Wave Race 64 with our door open and some girl looked in and laughed at us. I have no idea who that girl was, the whole thing was kind of weird actually.

And my mom makes fun of me for playing Peggle, but I think it's revenge since I make fun of her playing Zuma.

 

[marc951]

the wii version of CoD WaW, and I do have the PS3 and Xbox 360, but I hate their versions (also worth noting is that the wii versoin doesnt have even half the content which is pathetic, but I lie the aiming)

 

[gunningyoudown]

. . . . Maple Story. . . .

 

[iJosh]

I got lol'd at for playing Kung fu panda. Even though I only played it for gamerscore. Gosh golly.
