Doom. I mean have you seen the community? In seriousness though when I tell people I still play Doom or even make maps occaisionally they look at me like I'm a wrestling fan.

I recently got into visual novels for women. Usually there are a few pretty boys with a dark past in the game. You want them to open up to you and, ultimately, fall in love with you. Some stories made me cry multiple times, other made me rage hard. It's all quite emotional when done right. I really like it when skilled writers are playing with my feelings.

I really like Dynasty Warriors yet I wouldn't play it in front of anyone due to how awkward and embarrassing the performances in those games are.

Dunno. Some fanbases are so embarrassing that I refuse to be seen on the same forum as them; Sonic fanboys, anything with even vaguely anthro-characters seems to erupt into cancer for reasons I can’t even begin to imagine*.
For genuine cringe, you need to get some fucking 90s FMV going about this fucker. Some games have acting so bad that I won't play them in front of my SO, just in case she thought that I somehow approved of this hamfest shit and dumped me on principle.
I guess Mortal Kombat has it all. At some point, it went from being low-rez, cheeky fuck-you-mom gore (like, say, in the same sort of spirit as Evil Dead) to being disturbing digital vore (like, say, in the same spirit as Jeffery Dahmer's hard drive). It features every single way a franchise can fuck a dog condensed into one spectacular try-hard failure. Cringeworthy fanbase - check. Acceptable couple of early games followed by a long, lonely sojourn in the darkness of critical failure - check. Worst FMV ever - fuck, have you *seen* the fucking movies?
*A lie. It was furries.

I did legit enjoy Everlasting Summer. Just typing this makes me feel very ATTRACTED TO THE SAME GENDER, but it's a visual novel based on Russian imageboard culture. I disappointed all of my ancestors by enjoying a visual novel, I know. What's worse, a Russian visual novel. :_( In my defence I didn't jack off to it, not even once so I guess there's still some hope left for me?

Honestly ashamed to admit I like the (old) Sonic games. I don't get it. The early Sonic games(Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Sonic CD) were really good by almost all accounts. They are regarded as classics today and are still being emulated and remade(Sonic Mania, etc.)

Ok now I get it. I honestly didn't know all of this existed. So I guess Chris Chan is just the tip of the iceberg after all.

I decided to browse through the videos on that channel from 'Mister Metokur' (the guy who created the Sonic clip) and found this. As someone who plays Old School Runescape and was present during this whole drama, I feel compelled to chime in on the issue: For starters, the guy isn't wrong. Loving an old game from 2004 is retarded as fuck, right? Nobody should like or play old games, that is incredibly stupid! New games are all the rage! Anyway, I get that he's joking, but I've nonetheless heard people make the argument that old games tend to foster more "degenerates" and overtly weird people. Folks who are keen to shy away from the mainstream ("argh, look at that awful new thing!") and maybe also have a mental illness of some sort, etc. But then again, I'm reminded of the 'Call of Duty' and 'Rick and Morty' fandom presence, and so the argument goes straight out the window. Look, any fandom is going to be filled with a wide array of personalities. Of course. That's what makes communities varied and interesting, and mental illness is surely not limited to just older games. In fact, I can confirm from my time within the Call of Duty community (I used to play it competitively within clans and browsed video tactics daily) that the player-base there is incredibly rude and relentlessly idiotic. It was a huge relief then, to find Doomworld shortly afterwards. Which was a far more interesting and inviting place (at least it used to be) compared to the brain-rot inducing tactics of running down the same straight hallway to shoot the same exact person over and over again. At least older game communities tend to be more adult as well, and not mixed among an endless onslaught of slurs from 12 year old children who think they own the world. The same holds true for the Runescape community. While far from perfect, I've met many nice and smart people from the present user-base it holds. Not quite the bubbling pit of autism some people would have you believe. In any case, the video. For starters, he's right about the general beef. The game operates on a player poll. If a new idea for the game (from the developers) doesn't pass a poll with 75% player approval, it doesn't continue forward to see the light of day. The idea and development is canned. This event however, was forced right through the poll. As stated in the clip, it bypassed immense player disapproval. That's true. And the sad thing is, certain websites took this whole story completely out of context, in an attempt to make the game community (and ANY game community that opposes gay imagery) seem clearly homophobic. It has to be homophobia, right? There can't be anything else going on here? motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/payg3m/runescape-pride-event-players-plan-riot-2017I mean yes, they do mention the poll aspect at the end of the article, but it's incredibly brief. The reality of the situation is that people weren't voting "no" because they hated gays, they just thought it wasn't a needed update. And it was unnecessary. Because the game is a silly fantasy adventure MMORPG with basically zero references to sexuality whatsoever. So why even bother when people clearly don't want it? Hell, even gay people on the Runescape forums were saying that they thought it wasn't needed. A lot of the gay community just wanted to keep that business to themselves instead of wearing a "rainbow scarf" around (one of the event rewards). Oh... except this guy: One of the new (at the time) moderators/developers felt compelled to shove his sexuality into the game for no reason whatsoever. Look, I don't have anything against gay people, or anything against gay rights. The bigger issue here is labeling people opposed to unnecessary updates as somehow being homophobic. This is a medieval video game, not the real world. Let's ignore the fact that many gays opposed the update as well, but hey who cares right! The problem is that in a game built around trust between the developers and the players, where do you draw the line? Now that the trust has been broken, what other updates will they shove into the game without player approval? You see what I mean? It's a slippery slope, and players are worried. That's all. Anyway, people protested the event because of dishonesty regarding the ethics of the polling system. Nobody from liberal gaming media seems to care though. They'll only tell their own side of the story, to people who aren't fully informed. They make it seem like all the hate was purely vile and totally undeserved in every way imaginable! Not quite. But cool, at least this Mister Metokur guy gets it right! Mostly. Though I have a few nitpicks, as a Scape nerd: No, the moderators responding on Reddit were not completely oblivious to the criticism. As a result of the criticism, they made sure to let players know that protesting the event was fully allowed. In addition, one of the items from completing the event (a rainbow scarf) was not made available from a shop afterwards like they had originally planned. Showing some resentment and regret on their part about the whole ordeal. I get that they meant well, but sometimes politics don't always need to be inserted everywhere. No, the word "gay" is not banned in the game. There is a profanity filter you can choose to enable in the options menu, if you want. Everyone has it disabled, so there is no censorship of any words unless you want it that way. Which is fair, I think. Nobody was banned for simply voicing their concerns about the event. A small handful of people were banned, but only because they dressed like Klansman and were being really over-the-top extremely racist. But that was a minority overall and quite honestly, harassing people in-game should be a punishable offence anyways. As far as I know, most of the accounts banned were actually newly made for the sole purpose of getting some "lulz". They rarely ban high ranking veteran players without a suspension or warning first. So in the end, the whole thing blew over in a few days and most people realized the event itself wasn't such a big deal after all. I agree to that point. Still, the ethics surrounding the issue are far more interesting than the actual event and silly wearable cosmetic item. It begs the question: is this necessary now? Is sexual preference something that needs to be in games? And are people opposed to it (for any reason at all) homophobic? Food for thought.

I don't really have this sense of shame, but I guess I do just bounce from game to game, usually playing one until I've beaten it to my satisfaction (which is very rarely 100% completion). Doom is the only series I kind of feel like I need to explain as having a bigger interest in than just playing through them, but as I'm comfortable in being a bit of a geek, I assume people just think it goes with the territory.
I do feel like some games have taken up more of my life than they deserve, though, due to excessive length or me struggling through. Thief Gold in particular feels like a game I'm never going to beat, even on the lowest difficulty.

Not exactly ashamed, but I don't like telling my childhood ex-friends that I still play Doom when they ask me about my game gallery, they always despised it because Doom 3 "looks so much better and is modern", even at the friendship times. Same with games like the Super Mario games and the Sonic games and Commander Keen games, which I wouldn't want to tell casual gamers or non-gamers or my siblings, everyone just tells me there's many much better and modern games, but at Commander Keen they just scratch their heads until I show them the game or tell them how old it is.
Now onto the true topic : I'm not even ashamed of telling people that I play the Gameloft MLP app, but I am ashamed of telling people that I like HDOOM, there's this fine line.

I don't think that I feel shame in anything I play, but if I have any guilty pleasure it's certainly the PS1 Contra games. I don't think there's any Contra games that have ever been released that I wouldn't play (except maybe the DOS ones since they look kinda boring).
Otherwise, I like humoring myself with playing some games I still have like Mario Is Missing! Or a point-and-click game like Big Brain Wolf full of pointless puzzles, but I see that as just goofing around or passing the time, and I just kind of laugh about it.

why do you hate sonic , sonic is the best platformer and why is sonic cancer. its not cancer and it has very good gamnes and the games have a very good soundtrack and very good levels that are long and have lots of secrets and the collecting of rings is fun and sonic is a really cool character. and why would you be ashamed of saying that you like sonic. sonic has some of the best games that ever were made okay theres some bad games of it like sonic 06 but the classic sonic games are the best games on the whole planet and i would say they re as good as doom 1 , and final doom.
