Dark souls and overwatch is today's call of duty you fucking Reddit faggot. You've been caught red handed, so just go back quietly.

>>377259853

Normally I just say old and new stuff or "online with friends on my PC and single player stuff on console"

The only time I actually had that moment like OP's pic recently was a good friend was moving out of town and we were hang out at the beach and then going to a bar near by

Her roommates brother met us at the beach and we were just chillin and he was trying to be social but he was THE MOST dude bro white trendy person I've ever met,

I mentioned I play games in my free time among other things and he only mentioned Destiny and Madden. Tried to be "normal" and mentioned that I liked Counter Strike and he was just like "wuzzat"

It wasn't awkward, just felt like I was talking to a fucking cultural simian

>>377260931
That's just what I was playing at the time. Sorry you get angry someone plays a game you don't like

Nobody likes to say a fucking thing in my experience. I used to feel like I had to lead conversations, now I just let them die and leave. The only autonomous-seeming people I've ever met were the neckbeardiest nerds from a board game club and they're by far the best people I've met in over a decade.

>>377259853
I usually just answer honestly

Unless you play embarrassing weebshit with zero redeeming qualities besides the cute girls (Neptunia, Atelier, Senran Kagura, etc.) most people won't judge you, and might end up getting interested if you show enough enthusiasm. I got my coworkers to get Nier Automata and Bloodborne, and they ended up really enjoying them.

>>377259853
Rocket league.

if they show interest. I tell them what my real favorite game is- company of heroes 1

If you list things off you're obviously going to bore or weird people out, it's just normal conversation
Lead in with "well lately I've been playing X" and make X a game that you actually want to talk about, that way you make it a specific point to elaborate on if they're interested. Just a suggestion

When I was like 20 I used to lie. FIFA, GTA, Call of Duty, etc.

A bunch of stuff happened in the middle. Through therapy I've become an extrovert. I majored in two careers and I'm a manager at a health company. Have moderate success with women (sadly, not high). Bought my own home.

Now I'm 30. I proudly say "Persona" or "Bloodborne" or even "Mario Kart" or "Pokemon". I don't play pedo weeaboo shit, but I wouldn't mind saying it if I did.

I have literally zero shame of the video games I like. When people respect you in other stuff you don't care about what they think about your vidya. Hell, most people are even surprised they don't know shit about video games and even see you as some kind of cool guru.

Probably would reply honestly. Say I play the Yakuza series (Ishin, 2, and 0 are my favorites), SMT/Persona, Tekken, and some Guilty Gear. Oh and Resonance of Fate was a really underrated PS3 title.

>If they're just making small talk or don't reveal their power level

Just mention some AAA shit like CoD/Battlefield, or Overwatch.

I love the conversations I get when people remember DBZ and them pulling inaccurate and bizarre menories to describe characters from the past and general nostalgia.

Then you get into "girly" shit like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors and they'll bring up an extremely vague and specific moment or scene and preface it with, "wasn't X something like this, or..."

I always call out people who pretend they don't remember what they're talking about, and then suddenly they remember everything and talk about major plot points.

>>377264160
If you look normal, is a nice guy, have some personal qualities, and most importantly have other things to talk about other than video games, you can definitely do things like this. There's a time and place for everything and forcing video game conversations on people who don't give a shit is obviously not the way to go, but you shouldn't be scared to talk about your hobbies, especially since they're the ones fucking asking.
