Games you enjoy... privately.

[Ssx9]

Let's see...

Megaman games (classic and X)

Sonic games

Yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. I've yet to see someone here playing any the Megaman X games (aside from one or another). I don`t like pokemon, not that it's childish or something like that, I just don't want to spend my money in a game with pretty much the same engine every damn time. I stopped playing it when emerald was released.

Here it's all about CoD and Guitar hero. Oh, and Final Fantasy for some people.

But meh, I don't like playing my DS in public. not that I'm ashamed of, but I don't want to be robbed while playing it. Robbery is very comon in here. Even with portables.

Moonshell picture viewing.

Pokemon and Yugioh.
There's really no way I can ever admit to playing either game at my age.

 

[myuusmeow]

Bayonetta. My friends know I play it because of Xbox Live, but they don't really have any idea what it is.

 

[8BitWalugi]

Pretty much every game that's not new.
I hate having to explain to people what I'm playing because they think that CoD is the only game that's ever existed.

Them: "Mega Man X? What's that? You mean Mega Man 10? You should play CoD, the graphics are better."
Me: ?_?

Pahaha! +1 to that!

Me, mainly just Pokemon. I attend some 'lectures' at a university that's just about games. There I'm open about all my games.

 

[tomrev]

Games that have sexy girls protagonist or something like that. I played chess or call of duty while in public but when I'm at home, I play all spectrum of game types.

Mostly, it depend on who are around me more than what game I'm playing. When I stay in places that have young people or childhood friends, I could play without shame but when have older people or serious environment, I couldn't bare to play games.

 

[Arras]

I just realized I like Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak (GBA) as well and never told anyone. That game is awesome.

 

[ShinyLatios]

well, i play all my games in public. except atlantica online. I don't have a PC for use outside my home!

I'll start off by saying that I'm 30 years old, been gaming for 25 years, and consider myself a "well-rounded" gamer.

That said, I thorougly enjoy playing Just Dance. That's right, the crappy dance game that's easy to make fun of. I'm not embarassed to admit it though, and maybe because I have fond childhood memories of many of the included songs, I find myself laughing the whole time. Even the hardcore gamer in me can take a break, and enjoy something that is simply fun, or even ridiculous.

As for games I play in private, Heavy Rain comes to mind. While others in the house might drop in and see a great looking game, there are a few scenes that make it look like I'm endulging in a CG Skinemax experience. God of War 3 also comes to mind, mostly the Aphrodite scene, where I quickly turned my surround sound down, while prompted to pump the "O" button repeatedly.

 

[Tonitonichopchop]

The only games I play privately are M rated games, but only because I have younger siblings. I take pride in what I do, and I've realized if I have to hide something I do or like, then I probably shouldn't be doing it.

 

[leeday100196]

one that comes to mind for me is Feel the Magic/Project Rub/whatever you wanna call it. The best part is i can fantasise about what she actually looks like!

 

[Forstride]

I try not to talk about the Wii, unless it's with my close friends (They have Wii's and 360's as well, so it's fine). Pokemon comes to mind, but they semi-like it (They used to play the games, but don't anymore), so it's fine.

Only games I can think of that I don't like to talk about or let my friends know I play (Even though they know) are the Animal Crossing games, and retro games (NES/SNES...They just say "Why are you playing this, it looks dumb"). Don't think it's the graphics that they hate, as most of them like N64 games, and other games in that era (Gamecube, GBA, etc.), but oh well.

 

[KingdomBlade]

Nothing. I openly admit to whatever I play. I told my friend who bought the Orange Box, "You should play Portal, it's awesome.", He says "Sorry, been playing Counter Strike". I say, "Yeah, I love that game too."

Seriously, I've said this a million times before. People have different tastes. If one person like CoD, then let him, that's what he likes. It's not that he has no taste, he just has a different one from yours. Just because you think that Retro games are epic and FPS sucks, well that's your opinion, and it's their choice to like CoD because that's fun for them.

 

[toguro_max]

Not really ashamed of anything...
But there are games I usually don't play in front of everyone.
One of them is not a game per se, but a genre: eroge. I play'em, I like'em (believe me, I like the stories the most, the gals came in second place. I like visual novels also, btw).
The other one is We Cheer >-p
I refuse to play this game with my window opened >-D

 

[Taleweaver]

I once bought a game called bloodrayne from secondhand purely because of the hot goth vampire on the cover. Never bothered to get past the first level: I was too busy zooming in on her ass.
(yeah, what do you expect? It's the only advantage 3rd person shooters have over 1st person ones)


Perhaps I can mention kirby as well (at first I was NOOOOOO!!!! But after a level or 3, 4, I enjoyed it almost as much as my girlfriend). And rock band 2 may be fun in multiplayer, but I still feel kinda embarrassed when making a ridiculous singing attempt in the solitude of my own room.


Other than that...nah, not really. Well..."Lula, the sexy empire" back when I was a teenager. But that was an exception.

Same way with me, but I'll say:

Them: "So what you been playing lately?"
Me: "Minecraft. I built this huge castle, and I've started on my underground railway system, and I need to work on my creeper tow-"
Them: "Lol, Minecraft has the worst graphics evar"
Me: ?_?

Heh, I used to have the GBC one - that was pretty good too.

But really I have to hide nearly ANY game I play cos dad HATES them

He's pretty much like "HURR GAMES YOU STILL PLAY KIDDIE GAMES YOU SHOULD PLAY EVEN MORE MUSIC AND STUDY SCHOOL HARDER HURRRRRRR"

...Did I mention I play five instruments fluently and have straight As in all my classes?

sounds like my life. the difference is if my dad sees me playing them, he's not as bad about it, but he hates them all the same. bloody sports fanatics... though i play 3 instruments fluently and get straight A's.

I laughed so hard. Thanks - I really needed that.

Hm...well, if I'm ever asked "Do you play such and such", I respond truthfully. That being said, I've really only been asked that once or twice, and both times were about Call of Duty, which I don't play.

I don't tend to play my SMT titles around my little sister or mother, but that's really only because my little sister is insanely naive, and my mother is the over the top "you're going to hell if you listen to anything but hymns" type of person. I was playing through Nocturne with my friend when my mother walked in just as I summoned Lilith. Needless to say, she wasn't very amused; especially not when she realized that Lilith is based off of the one said to be Adam's first wife. Was not a good day. She also walked in on us playing Persona 4, right as my friend summoned Lucifer. She went ballistic. (And of course, it was one of the few times the protagonist would cry out the Persona's name - LUCIFER!)

 

[Codc]

Woah, can't believe I'm the first one to say FFX-2.
