Are you open about playing Animal Crossing or ashamed?

[Melgogs]

I'm very open about it! When I'm waiting for a friend at a restaurant or coffee shop or when I'm waiting at an office for an appointment, I often get asked what I'm playing. That's how I've gotten some random FCs and some other peeps to buy NL lol.

What DOES annoy me though are the people who ask what I'm playing when they dont know a thing about video games so when I answer they just go "oh..."
And there's always this awkward pause in conversation. Otherwise, I tell everyone about it and someo people are pleasantly surprised cus otherwise I'm known to like mostly horror games

LOL this isn't like coming out or something and your cousin was LAME.

I normally just answer with League of Legends and pokemon since I'm not an AC addict anymore. I didn't really care much though. Last year in my junior year of high school I used to play the game everyday even in school and between classes. I would play all throughout my art class and my algebra class.

 

[brownboy102]

I am both.

I love playing the game and I am open with it, but I feel like closing up because I am heavily judged and picked on by my classmates for playing.

There are at least three people in my school who have NL, but hey decide to pick on me.

EVEN MY SO CALLED BEST FRIEND.

And guess what? Another, more 'Popular' friend of mine plays NL and guess what? NO. NOBODY MAKES FUN OF HIM.

I am continually judged for it, and when I am like "Come on, stop, he plays too!" Everyone is like, "Well, who cares?"

I don't like to talk to those people...

Know what is even worse? My 'best friend' who made fun of me for it is always like, "Oh, can I play animal crossing?" Know what I say to that? "Seriously? What the hell man?! You make fun of me for playing it at school and you ask to play it? Man, what is wrong with you?"

I am only friends with him because no one else is there for him.

I'm open about playing it. At school, my former friend (I don't associate with him anymore) tried to embarrass me by loudly saying "Do you still play Animal Crossing?" Everyone turned around to look at me. I just yelled "YES!" back at him. Everyone gave him a weird look and then carried on with what they were doing. So, no one even cared that I played it, and my friend just felt really awkward

 

[Envelin]

Be ashamed?

Heck, I've got people leaning over my shoulder asking to play with me!

Some people say it's boring. To each his own.

 

[cIementine]

I do feel sort embarrassed about it, but sometimes I feel like I should tell people. A bunch of popular youtubers my peers like have played it, and they're all adults !
But everyone is pretty judgemental and I wouldn't really bring up my game preferences in conversation anyway.

 

[goey0614]

I love this game so madly haha
I enjoy the moment with my villagers, to do some gardening and errand for them, even design my house and town^^

 

[RainbowCherry]

Open. If anyone has a problem.. we can have a.. discussion.. about animal crossing.. I'll kill the- I mean.. rub a picture of Poncho in their face. Poncho is the best villager <3

 

[Cou]

I'm super open about it, to the point I even beg my friends to get Animal Crossing so we can play it. I mean, what's there to be ashamed of Animal Crossing? It's so so so so cute and full of life..

 

[Jaebeommie]

I'm not ashamed of it at all. To be honest, there really are much more worst things you could do than to play a harmless game with a town full of animals.

 

[Archangel]

I don't mind telling people that I play AC, it's just I forget about it since I'm also such a serious gamer, playing more generic violent titles. However if it comes to mind, I do tell people that I play Animal Crossing because it's such a relaxing, fun game.

I told my boyfriend a while back that I played Animal Crossing and to this day when we're on the phone and I don't reply very quickly, he teases me and asks me if I'm playing AC. (I usually am )

 

[sweet_dreams]

Definitely open about it. I bring my 3DS to study hall every day and play, haha.

 

[Hipster]

I'm seriously open to telling anyone that I play animal crossing I literally snapchat some moments lol, also I get to find out who plays as well

 

[TheBluRaichu]

I tell anyone if they ask. When they laugh I laugh right back. The fact they would laugh at you for playing a game is shameful to themselves, not me.

 

[KanonFlora]

I love AC! I play it all day long... when my boyfriend asked me "why do you like that game so much...? it seems really boring... just having to build your house and catch bugs..." I replied "well, there are tons of things to do!" he couldn't believe me, and said it may be an "ok" game but he would never buy it.

Now... he has his house in my town, he plays every day he can and is saving money so when he buys the game, he can make his own town many people will laugh... but if you play the game... you'll get caught in this never-ending game xD

I am a hardcore gamer, buuuuut AC is a great game and love playing it everywhere in my 3DS <3

I love hearing stories like this, I hope one day I can introduce a friend to this series

 

[Delphine]

It's not my pride but if I tell someone, I try to make is sound funny, and my friends (and people who know me a little) know I still am a kid inside so they're not shocked or anything. I don't really care about other people's opinions when it comes to my hobbies (or looks for that matter).

 

[ajamplunk]

I love telling anyone who'll listen I'm crazy about AC...

 

[mattyboo1]

I honestly dont see whats wrong about playing AC, I don't go around telling people that I play but if someone asks I have no problem saying I play, if someone judges you for playing AC then they arent a nice person, I play ACNL because I enjoy it.

Nobody really ever asks me about my favorite games, or anything really for that matter. Outside of the online world that is.
