Are you open about playing Animal Crossing or ashamed?

[Naiad]

I'm definitely open about it. (It doesn't usually come up in conversation though.)

 

[SarahAnimations]

I'm not open about playing video games in general.
No one at my school really talks about video games, and I'm a bit of a wallflower, so I feel that if I'm more open about it people who don't know me too well (a.k.a. a ton of people) will assume I'm some sort of lazy, obsessive, stereotypical gamer. :/

It's probably just my own nerves, but I don't really want people to only know me as a gamer rather than who I really am.

 

[xanisha]

I am so open about it ^.^ Lots of people play on my campus so when I sit down to play the game, strangers actually come and play with me

 

[Hyasynth]

I have no reason to hide it. My college is full of nerds. The most we'll give each other grief over is our choice of console.

 

[EchoSonchou]

Nah. C: Animal Crossing is my favorite game and I always list it when talking about games I like. I even have an Animal Crossing hair bow I wear a lot and used to have an AC lunch box. (whoever stole it, I hope you step in a puddle you weren't expecting in your nicest shoes).

But yeah. I play a lot of really cute games like Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Harvest Moon, etc.

I'm going to walk into my first day of high school wearing a Pikachu shirt this year, why would I be ashamed of animal crossing?

Every time someone hates on me for playing nintendo, I think "Don't be a hater, cya later." and leave. I've started noticing my friends straying from nintendo because they are getting at the age where they think it isn't "Cool". D:

 

[tamagotchi]

Yeah, It's full of cute ass characters, so who cares?

 

[dahlialia]

I'm old enough to have a daughter who's old enough to potentially feel embarrassed about playing it. She doesn't though, she has some great gamer friends and she got them all hooked on it too

As for me, I am an artist, and a little while ago had a week-long art retreat. I considered for a moment whether I would try to keep my gaming "secret" (which would be hard when the group is together 24/7 except for sleeping), but I didn't. Everyone else there was older than me, and the most gaming they had ever done was candy crush, but they were interested in what I was playing. I am a gamer, it is an important part of who I am, and it also plays an important part in the art I develop. I won't hide it

 

[8Bit_Jesus]

I'm 31 and I'm open about my Animal Crossing love ^__^ Granted, I'm seen as a nerd anyway, so it really isn't out of character

 

[Isabella]

I don't play as much now anymore but yeah I am/was open with playing it along with any other game I play. I don't care about anyone's opinion on it lol.

 

[Sholee]

I'm open about it, however I don't bring it up in conversations with my friends. I'm probably the only one within my group of friends that like games like this (ie: Harvest moon, sims, tomodachi life, etc) If my friends asks me about it, i'm not ashamed to tell them.

 

[benben12]

i'm open about it and am 21 years old. it seems that a lot of my college students play acnl too since i always get many streetpass when i bring my 3ds around my school.

 

[AskaRay]

Nah because once you hit post-college grad you just don't care
There are no more "guilty pleasures" for instance.

 

[Imitation]

Nope...
If I were open about it id probably be ripped apart by everybody at my school
who only acknowledges the Xbox one as a respectable gaming console and
Nintendo is known as the "Kiddy" console
And thats only for owning a Nintendo console..
God knows what would happen if they knew I played animal crossing

- - - Post Merge - - -

Then again not many people pay attention for me sooo..

 

[jazzy_jamie]

I'm very open about it.

 

[dmytro]

i'm open about it because people don't really know about it that much. of course gamers know what AC is, but most average people aren't aware of it like they are with more household name type games like mario and pokemon.

 

[Ichigo.]

I don't necessarily bring up the topic of playing it but I don't hide it. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of anyway.

 

[Explosivo25]

I'm very open about it and have no problem admitting to liking it.

 

[Nanaki]

Well, I definitely won't bring it up in conversation for no reason, but if someone asks me about what games I like to play, I'll tell them. I'm definitely not ashamed though: Playing animal crossing is one of the LEAST embarrassing things that I do! People are so much more accepting of it than my collecting model horses and plushies xD (Plus being gay AND trans? Yeah, Animal Crossing is hardly an offence)

 

[paradoxisreality]

I don't bring it up in conversation but I would answer honestly if asked.
My friends don't play video games, it's really annoying because next to archery and youtube (which is about gaming rofl) it's my biggest hobby!
Sometimes I wish one of them would get into gaming personally but if they did ask what games I play I would probably mention different games I play as well. But, if they continue to ask I would tell them about acnl.
But if it's somebody I don't know all too well, I would probably say the consoles I have not the games, but if they ask "Hey do you have (so and so)?" I would answer honestly even if it was acnl.
