"And you call yourself a gamer?!"

[Xaio30]

You've never used the WASD controls before? And you call yourself a gamer?

 

[Circusfreak]

The only game you've ever played is [Halo 3 multiplayer/World of Warcraft/Call of Duty: modern warfare 2/counterstrike]
and you call yourself a gamer?

 

[Silent Anima]

I have an acquaintance that calls herself a "Fallout Girl", t-shirts and everything. Only played 3 and New Vegas.

Then she's a Neo-Fallout Girl.

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

I've heard plenty of gaming hipsters say things along the lines of 'you like Plants vs Zombies? And you call yourself a core gamer.' It's okay to like casual titles too, some of them are very good.

I had to explain what a magic bar was to someone doing a degree in video game development.

No joke.

I think that person should be doing a different degree...

OT: 'You dislike 80s classics? And you call yourself a gamer?'

That one annoys me most. Mario was entertaining when I was young and (more) easily amused, but it's just boring at this stage. Same with most other games from that era. Yeah, they're entertaining for a bit, but not exactly substantial.

Well she's a girl, she's obviously not a gamer.

"You've known the touch of a woman, and you call yourself a gamer?"

I don't like the term, if you can't tell.

"You don't like kilts, football or bagpipes? And you don't hate the English? And you call yourself Scottish!"

Did you know that David Hume, among many other really important people, were Scottish?
How does William Wallace, an ignorant gangster who almost exclusively fought other Scottish people, meant to compare!?

And Bonnie Prince Charlie? A Catholic religious fundamentalist from France?? Really???

While your point is good sir, I am afraid you have missed the point of this thread

Yeah, well, it had to be said.

A relevant point might be that I don't prestige on CoD. Why not? Because I don't want to lose all my stuff for the sake of a teeny tiny permutation.

I agree. I never really got the point of Prestige-ing.
"Lose all my pretty guns, for some titles and emblems I won't use? No thanks".
I've only prestiged twice because I was bored.
imo, people that prestige care way too much about showing off their epeen.

Or, if you're like me, like to unlock stuff again. Don't know why, just like to unlock stuff.

You get tan during the summer?

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

You've never played Half Life 2? Son I am dissapoint ...

...Well it's not my fault ... it just didn't seem exciting to me. Thankfully looks can be deceiving.

OW MY BRAIN.
Thats like kids these days that say they are Pokemon fans, but have only played Gen 3+.
Or worse yet, have only played Black and White >.>

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not.

Fallout 1-2 and the Bethesda games are worlds apart, with different strengths and weaknesses. The old games were superior in roleplaying options, and such, while I would argue that the new ones have superior atmosphere and are easier to get into.

Pokémon... every new game is a slight upgrade of the previous games, pretty much. You're not really missing out on anything significant by only playing the most recent incarnation.

Captcha: "eat out" -- and this it tells me when I'm almost done making dinner.

You don't like a7x?!How could you call yourself a metalhead?!

 

[Tsaba]

lol, I meant it as an example, I personally can't stand baseball to watch.
I think CoD is more of a "And you call yourself an FPS gamer?" sort of thing, its not essential like Halo and Zelda, but thats just my opinion.
Should someone that calls themselves a gamer play at least one CoD in their lifetime? Probably.
Should they play BlOps? Since I believe Blops is terrible, Ima have to go with no.

I was just toying with you, I got the point though, but, yea, that what it essentially broke down to, the initial accusation was as "a gamer."

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

"You don't like Halo? And you call yourself a gamer..."

No, I don't, and yes, I do. Halo is not the Alpha and Omega of the gaming world. I've never particularly cared for FPS games and always much preferred turn-based-RPGs (making this console generation kind of unpleasant for me). Not liking one immensely popular title does not invalidate the fact that I've been playing games consistently since I was 3.

 

[blankedboy]

Actually while promoting my own small dev house at a convention this last weekend I actually met someone that had never played Mass Effect, to which I responded...

And you call yourself a gamer?

Sure its a fairly recent title, ergo, in the last decade and doesn't have the same level of nerdcore credibility as throwing down Pong or Space Invaders, but regardless, its the purest expression of an absolute space opera to have been created in our generation, so I tend to look at people, who haven't played it, a bit funny.

Well not everyone is going to play the mildly popular game a fair few people are talking about. I didn't play it until earlier this year and I didn't even like it all that much. I don't know why you get the idea of Mass Effect being the defining game for all players.

 

[Denamic]

You don't know what WASD is?
You're not a gamer.

...

Actually, I kinda agree with this.

 

[Luthir Fontaine]

You like kinect?!1?!?1? Yes and yes i still love core games.

 

[PixelKing]

Oooft, that's no good >.<

I know MUSE fans like that, actually. They stick Supermassive Black Hole on their iPod and suddenly they're Matt Bellamy's fiancée or something.

As a muse fan, I understand. Girl said she loved muse, I asked her if she liked Bliss, she said whats Bliss, I cried.

Gaming wise? None, sorry.

You didn't like Bioshock and you call yourself a gamer?

You didn't like halo 2, 3, or Reach and you call yourself a fanboy/Gamer?

You gave up on Call Of Duty and you call yourself a Gamer?

You Gave up on Call of Duty? Didn't you used to be a COD fan boy?

You haven't played portal 2 yet and you call yourself a gamer?

Your gamer score is just over 4000 points and you call yourself a gamer?

You generally liked Oblivion, thought the final fantasy series was a trite peace of shit, enjoyed wasting time playing super monkey balls, own a MAC, played sports, and failed to complete Assassin's creed 2 because you got a shit load of games you were playing in tandum and you call yourself a gamer?

 

[ChaoticKraus]

I don't call myself a gamer. Everyone can take their gaming as seriously as they want. It's a pastime not a job.
