I think Rick and Morty is a solid show, but the only reason it gets hyped so much is because how much worse everything else is on TV.

I stopped recommending things entirely a few years ago.
Last thing I recommended to someone and they actually did watch it was Ippo. Recommending stuff nowadays it's 99% of the time gonna be ignored/"forgotten".
>>383663139
And they say PCfats don't try to ruin everything.

Unless someone asks you specifically, nobody cares about your reccomendations. They already don't ask you because you haven't proven yourself to them to have tastes similar to theirs.

I ain't judging anyone's tastes but half the time the conversations die at that point because I have no idea about those games.
>>383663946
Just tell him you aren't ever going to play it, because you both know you never are.
Don't even beat around the bush at that point, just tell him "no, not playin it, fuck off."
>Any good games on the Sony sale
>Yeah
He's still upset.
Not meming though I find this game pretty mesmerizing.
>>383663401
What does that have to do with PC?
>>383664115
But I AM going to play it
I just want a better video card because I really can't enjoy it wih my current one
>>383663665
Why are you complaining? It's his money, and he's supporting companies you care about.
he's playing the longhaul anon.he wants your dick
>>383664795
No you aren't. Don't lie to yourself. You will come up with some other excuse if you ever get a better video card. Just stop.
>>383664825
>he wants your dick
That's why I'm complaining. He either wants my dick, or he wants to wear my face as a mask. This isn't the only thing he does this with.
>Mention watching Kamen Rider to him once

>can't really say shit about it since I've replayed Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga a billion times
I hate being a fucking hypocrite, but I really do try to diversify my tastes in gaming as much as possible. And it's not like you can't have variation in Fallout or KoTOR, but still. God damn, try SOMETHING new for onceI just want more people to enjoy Ys like I do
>>383664964
Why don't you fucking stop recommending or mentioning shit then dude? Goddamn.
>>383665037
I don't recommend shit to him, he sees it on my shelves and shit.

I will.
Don't project your issues on me.

>>383666547
I don't fucking know you. If you think recommendations are random and you don't think about what else they like of course they will be shit
Give me a few games you like and maybe I recommend something.
>falling for the friends meme
>>383666669
Ace Combat
Armored Core
Strider 2
>>383652794
Whedon copied Outlaw Star for FIrefly and Whedon and Firefly are literally reddlt so Id see why your friend got the reddit vibe
>>383653140
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOOK BACK!
Never share your favorite video game with friends, keep it to yourself to keep it pure.
Never share your favorite movies or television shows with friends either, they just won't appreciate it the way you do and it will just piss you off as they look at their phone the whole time.
>>383662758
took me a minute
>>383666669
Recommend to me too, I like overall fighting games like Blazblue or Skullgirls, Bioshock, Soulsborne, Metal Gear, Bayonetta, Fire Emblem (specially the first ones)
>>383666880

To be honest, that sounds like the kind of thing I would say. I tend to be very non-opinionated.

The fact this happens all the time makes me wonder where the line starts of them being shit friends and how long of a shit friend I've been to them as well.

It's shit tho, should've shown him something wacky or fun, that's what catches normies, otherwise sports like Hajime no Ippo
>>383653140
why?
>>383667153
What do I recommend someone who's only ever seenJoJo and Initial D because of the memes?
>>383666995
Fighting games are hard to recommend because I assume fighting game fags have pretty much tried all of them and know what they like. Gun to my head and if I had to recommend a fighting game to you I would recommend you check out Soul Calibur 2. Specifically 2 here.
Otherwise Monster Hunter should be something you could try.
>>383667134
Fuck. I take this as a small victory because it would've been a great recommendation. This is a lot harder if you don't know the entire library of the person.
>>383651503
>tfw my friends generally have similar tastes to me

>tfw constantly get good recommendations

Shit, I'm that friend except with music. Songs take a few listens to grow on me, so I'll save some song to my bookmarks that someone recommends me, then when I'm going through looking for a song, I'll be like, damn, this is a cool fucking song, then recommend it back to them without realizing it.
>>383667347
you can recommend them anything and they'll eat it out of the palm of your hand because i guarantee you your friend has no taste if they consume media for 'memes'
>tfw actually have a friend who plays and watches most of the stuff I recommend to him
Feels good, lads.
Your friends have terrible taste.

>>383667415
Do you at least apologize to them afterward?
No fucking wonder your friends don't play shit you gift them, your "favorite" game probably some shovelware garbage /v/ memed you into. We only love obscure games, right? Bet some of you even bought nepshit or some other hardcore weeb jrpg for your friend.
>>383667347

>>383667035
i have a friend like this except instead of a year it's like a week tops and instead of another person it's some fucking lets player
like i brought up crash bandicoot to him a couple weeks ago and he said "ugh no that game is fucking shit i fucking hate it" and then he started skipping through an uncommentated playthrough of the first couple of levels of crash 1 for like a minute and says "yeah this game is fucking shit the gameplay does NOT interest me WHATSOEVER" in the bitchiest tone possible
the next fucking day he tells me how he watched a lets play of it and how he's hyped for n sane trilogy

I just never did that myself, only when was talking with friends about games that we like with no recommendations. 'Cause when someone recommends you his favorite game answering to your question, and then you don't have time to play it, or didn't like it, and he asks how did you find it, you feel bad and guilty for not playing/liking the recommended stuf. And vice versa.

Yeah, I try my best to try out peoples recommendations. Got into Stellaris because of it, despite not being into 4X games. So when I try out recommendations, but then mine get blatantly ignored by everyone, it's irritating as hell. At least my best bro tried out Postal and Doom and loved em.

Yes it is!

Sounds like you could use some non secondary friends. Show some other people Fallout 1 and/or something like Quake. If they like it, chances are you could start up a decent friendship.

The nigga's like 30 now too, I don't know how he's so damn casual and isolated from so many different genres of games.
>>383671694
They're all long time friends from grade school, we just grew our tastes differently over time.
I also have multiple xbro friends that think they're super hardcore for playing Halo and CoD and stomping pub matches. Shits always irked me. I got into OW with them and it was funny hearing them call each other out as the guy who think's he's hot shit.
I can still remember one of them saying they got most eliminations as D.va, and that's why the team sucked. He also said "but I'm gold damage!" when playing Bastion and getting stuffed hard at the end of the match but refusing to switch.
>>383672117
Got Torchlight 2 with the same dudes as above, we played it one day and then they beat it with another mutual friend the next goddamn day. I've still barely touched that shit to this day.

UDG wasn't bad, and we had a good laugh about DR3 but I still felt a bit shitty. But when the spoilers for V3 dropped I felt so bad I straight up apologised.

Rabi Ribi, as good as it is, is in fact an ironic weeb game with an AWFUL character design, generic plot and retarded as fuck story.
The solid gameplay barely makes up for it.

We were never friends again after that bullshit. Of course, that's what I get for being the friend with nice shit while the friend was from a foodstamp family. Years later, I find his name and mug in the "dumbasses who got caught committing a crime" papers for attempting to rob a grocery store.

Worst thing about it was that it turned out so-and-so never did actually borrow it and my "friend" was a lying prick.
His mom eventually made him come to my house and give me my game back. Still never talked to him again after that, though.
I apologized to so-and-so for thinking they were a liar and told them about what happened. Turns out they were actually super cool, weren't all that mad, and we became friends.

Other than that instance, we're all rather solid with recommendations. We don't hold grudges if no one plays something we tell them to give a shot. It's usually if they play it, it's a welcome surprise and one more person to talk to about it or play with.
>>383653560
What do you do when they ask you to recommend?
>>383671761
VNs are fucking gay
>>383683968
why do people do this. why do they never admit that you recommended something to them
>>383663139
>all this shit taste
Story is bad but if you complain it and not see the gameplay and bosses then you are just fucking stupid.
>>383684225
>>383683968
Could be worse.
I recommended a multiplayer focused game to a friend and now he's become obsessed with it and asks to me to play it every single fucking day and when I say I don't feel like it he rubs it in my face that I was the one that recommended the game to him in the first place.
>>383683968

that's a nice story anon, thanks for sharing, you have a good friend
I'm the opposite. My friend recommends me games all the time. I even got Monster Hunter and Terraria to play with him, but I only ever do multiplayer. Can't really get into it on my own. He also bought games for me and he's sad I barely played them.
I'm a terrible friend. I'll make it up to you one day, buddy.

Dark Souls has nothing japanese in it. I hate anime but I could play throught MGR just fine. Its a bit anime only in the sense that "it is crazy". But I am sure that I couldnt enjoy any of the Final Fantasy games and if your friend is it is either that he is lying or retarded.

Now they're all hyped as fuck for Destiny 2 and I just know they'll be bugging the hell out of me to get an XboneX to join them.

I have nothing against him reading LNs, but why should I apply an effort that doesn't have any effect?
>>383686421
I mean, he is a good friend and I know him for a long time, but sometimes his actions surprise me.
Not vidya related, but anyway:>He once shoot a video of himself masturbating and send it to a hoax "girl" account on social network, because this "girl" asked him to do so
>He did it despite knowing that it's a fraud
>Person behind account starts to blackmail him for ransom
>He didn't pay anything, and the con-man sends this video to several people from my friend's friend-list

i still don't get why people consider tf2 a game for children.
sure enough, it's "babby's first fps" because it's free and even runs on daddy's Computer, that'd explain the amount of children in the community.
but that doesn't mean the game's target audience is children

I played TF2 for thousands of hours. It got repetitive in a reassuring way. Where if I wanted to relax or if life was getting chaotic I could always hop into TF2 and know exactly where I stood and what was happening around me. The great thing about it was that if I felt things were getting stale there was always a new loadout/strategy to try out or a new maps/mods to explore to spice things up.
God I miss TF2 community servers.

I've stopped trading or lending games/music cds/movies/books at the age of 12 when I gave a couple of Goosebumps books to a classmate and never got them back. It was the last straw after never getting back crash 2 and resident evil from the kids I lent them to.
I also never ask for anyone to lend me stuff like that too, would be hypocritical to do so, even though I always returned everything back in the day.

I wouldn't even mind that last point so much if he was just streaming the session normally but he's constantly doing some autistic streamer shit and looking away from the screen mid match to see if there's any new chat messages. Talking to non existent viewers instead of speaking to me directly, overreacting to every little thing to be whacky for again, viewers that dont exist. Putting on a bullshit persona and a stupid fucking gimmick that impedes his ability to play and isnt fucking interesting or cool FUCK STOP IT. Not to mention having to wait for him to set up the stream software nad put his gay little layouts and all this crap every time we switch game. It's hell

Personally, I'd recommend you start with Kamen Rider W. It's a nice bridge between the older more serious (Except for Den-O) Riders and the more pop-art-ish newer ones.
Or you could watch the still on-going Ex-Aid, it's a /v/ideogame-themed Rider. The outfits are very silly looking since they're trying to be 90s as shit, but the story gets excellent.

The animation itself was mercifully short, but seemed like whoever made it never aged past Newgrounds.

I feel bad for bringing up any game I really like now incase people don't care about it.

And this is bad how? Considering what's on YouTube, I'd much rather juvenile early 2000s shit over the fucking cancerfest that is current YouTube.

They're both terrible once you're older than 14. Not my fault you have continued to have shit taste.

Using the same way over and over again isn't always !!FUN!!, it's just tedious.

Stop trying to encourage shitty behaviour like yours. It's not going to make anyone take your side.

I'm glad my friends abandoned Dota 2, that game really went to shit last year and I finally uninstalled it after 5 years.
>>383711864
People have already taken my side with making fun of you and baiting you and in all the years you've been doing this how many people have taken yours?
>had an old group I ran with a lot

>still in contact and stuff but don't game with them anymore

>old group notices me playing games
>constantly wanting to multiplayer now
I just pretend I don't see their messages and keep playing solo. New friends basically treat everything as a single player experience unless others show an interest.

I have friends whom I literally cannot recommend things to else I know they will never try it, and if they do, it's always with an attitude of "ugh, let's get this over with." Literally just confirmation bias re: whether a game is worth playing or not, even after I've fucking recommended it to them.
Instead, I kind of have to drop subtle hints. So I'll mention it in conversation, but I won't express my liking of it. Just casually pawn off "Ah, well it's got X and Y I guess, and I think [Reviewer/youtuber I know they like] was saying it's kind of like a more different [game I know they like] but with Z and W. I dunno, it looks weird." It's pretty sad that it works almost every time. I hate being manipulative - I think it's the main reason my friends don't like me as much - but sometimes I just don't have a choice.

Quite a few, but they're still outspoken by faggots like you who think doing this is going to bring about any positive change.
What kind of endgame do you have for you to be doing this for this long?
>>383712545
It's cheap entertainment and waiting to see your entire family get doxed
>>383712665
It may be to you, but the majority couldn't give a shit about your damaged ego and whatever you attempt to try to fix it. You're only shitting up the site by bringing drama and off-topic bullshit which no one needs or wants here, including you. Some might say I'm a necessary evil, but you certainly aren't necessary at all. Stop trying to think your bullshit is justifiable.

It sure seems like you're trying to make it one as well, given how you're trying to get rid of and antagonize people for no justifiable reason.
>>383713223
I'm just pushing your buttons because you're very gullible and full of yourself. You however spend hours to days spamming threads and get upset if the mods don't delete what you want. If that isn't trying to make 4chan you're own safe space I donno what is.
