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?
Dress up and other such girly games like wedding planner for the DS or whatever its called
Final Fantasy VIII.
One of them thinks turned based is stupid, so that's all JRPGs.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

There are certain games of mine that bore her to death though (examples being: Civ V, Counter Strike)
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:
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. :pQuote:

Still like watching league on twitch sometimes
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.

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.
like all of them

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.
>>> I dont have friends since I was in school.
They probably like Star Wars games..:luca:

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: )
