Games you love that your friends don't.

[Wolf Kanno]

We all have friends who probably have different tastes so while we all have some common thread to connect us, there are also the games that simply mentioning will automatically turn off said friends as well. So what games do you love that your friends don't?

[Pumpkin]

Dress up and other such girly games like wedding planner for the DS or whatever its called

[Shorty]

Final Fantasy VIII.

[Depression Moon]

One of them thinks turned based is stupid, so that's all JRPGs.

[Forsaken Lover]

Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

[Skyblade]

We all have friends

Wolf is making big assumptions again.

A lot of my gaming tastes came from my friends, but my gf is different. She grew up playing almost only JRPGS (FF VII - X-2 and other misc. ones) and Ratchet and Clank. She doesn't like a lot of the games I play nowadays, because that's all she really liked. I got her into WRPGS (She likes Fallout, but mostly watching). There are certain games of mine that bore her to death though (examples being: Civ V, Counter Strike)

[Fynn]

You might have a secret friend, Skyblade, don't make assumptions :p

Pretty much all JRPGs. My wife plays some of them and I got my new best bud to play Chrono Trigger, but other than that, whenever I talk about FF or KH everyone's like: :shifty:

[Rez09]

The Last Blade 2.

I don't know how, I don't know why, but of all the fighting games I have on my PS2, this is the only one nobody wants to play.
Ever.
Like, I get people to play Spectral vs Generation and Matrimelee 2 more often than this game. ._.

As an interesting example of contrary behavior, almost everyone tells me they hate sports games and won't play or talk about them, but then I get them playing the NES Kunio sports games. :D

Well I'm lying for your sake and mine, since I am a misanthrope. :p

[Dat Matt]

I would say time sinks like league of legends and team fortress 2. Good games, but spent way too much time playing them. Kicked the habit now I have less time to waste on them.

Still like watching league on twitch sometimes

[Bolivar]

Most of my irl friends have the same gaming tastes, there's maybe one that detests Call of Duty and makes it clear to me whenever the E3 reveals occur. Another is very much the syereotypical anti-FFVII hater who seeks to seat the likes of FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears on the throne instead. It's actually real easy to get him worked up over it, much to the amusement of his cousins or our other friends.

[Ayen]

Final Fantasy VIII.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Final Fantasy VIII is the only one I can really think of.

[Pumpkin]

My friends all like FFVIII

[AssassinDX]

Sports games, I have quite a few of the FIFA games and I'll be damned if I can get anybody to sit down next to me and give me a game. The closest I managed is with one friend who simply put the ball in his own goal to annoy me.

Mass Effect as well, I've bought the first game for two separate people for their birthdays in the hope that they'll share my appreciation for it, neither of them are particularly interested.

[Jessweeee♪]

like all of them

[Slothy]

My friends all like FFVIII

:erm:

[Vermachtnis]

Golf games, I love 'em. But no one wants to play with me.

[Jiro]

Football Manager. :ffvisad:

[Pike]

Football Manager. :ffvisad:

Just bro up with Huxley and BoB! :bigsmile:

[Wolf Kanno]

Dance Dance Revolution, hell Rhythm games in general that are not TheaterRhythm. I am also the only one of my circle of RL friends that likes FFXII while they all prefer the awful FFX and XIII.

I also can't get my GF into Final Fantasy no matter how hard I try thanks to douche FF fanboy friends she used to know. On the bright side I did get her addicted to Metal Gear Solid so I guess that's a thing.

Your friends are just trying to help you, Wolf. They want to make you see the light.

Remember all those commercials about how your friends will try to get you to do drugs and you just have to say yes? Well it's the same thing but with FFX. FFX will give you superpowers, like Tony at the end of Scarface.

[black orb]

>>> I dont have friends since I was in school.

They probably like Star Wars games..:luca:

IRL coworkers - I don't bother talking about videogames with most of them, I think the only one we have in common is Skyrim.

Online friends - I swear to god I can't talk to half of you because all you guys ever play are JRPGs and that's one of my least-played genres.

Some of you have pretty good taste though (people who show up in my SMAC or Morrowind threads, I'm talking about you guys :love: )

[Carl the Llama]

We all have friends.
