90% of time the people who say their favorite game is Call of Duty: only plays Call of Duty. It's probably the most accessible game in the entire industry since it's literally Normalfag: The Game and anyone can play it. It's like some guy claiming to be a big movie fan when he/she only watches Star Wars.

you could have phrased it just a bit better like, "didn't know that but CoD isnt really my thing". But in the end he was the one acting akward as fuck, you did fine.

Pretty sure nobody calls themself a gamer like that. Typically if someone asks you what your hobbies are you'd mention videogames. If someone asked what my favorite game was, I'd probably brush it off and instead say what I'm playing now or a good game I played recently. I don't really have a favorite, and if I did, I probably haven't played it in years.

I have referred to a group of people I hang out with as "us gamers". Mostly to differentiate work buddies or school friends from the guys I hang out with constantly.

This. When people say "I'm a gamer" they're just saying they like to play video games, but /v/ looks far too into it and interprets it as them trying to make it their identity or some shit.
>>
>>334831168
They do exist, although from my experience they are poser faggots who bought a PS4 because it's the "best system", then complain that Halo isn't on it and buy the newest Dark Souls game and never beat it

No one who uses "gamer" as their identity is a CoD normie. People who only play CoD and Madden and shit would just say they like games, I should know, I used to have roomies exactly like that.

Also, the term gamer is cringey as fuck. It's as bad as Otaku. Having games as a major hobby that forms part of your identity is fine and normal, but for some reason calling yourself a "gamer" is fucking nauseating.

call of duty has great animations, controls, and speed

literally the only objectivly bad thing you can say about call of duty is that they dont change enough from game to game. that doesnt make the individuals games themselves bad

Counterpoint: a lot of people that have never played games have no idea how to "experiment" in real life.

Playing around with mechanics and interactions for so long gives me a huge leg up on useless idiots that can't put two and two together. It's really annoying how dumb some of my friends and past girlfriends have been, when the solution is super obvious to me.

You could say the same about any sort of puzzle/problem solving experience. Carpenters/Mechanics/Farmers are all really good at problemsolving too, but a lot of people don't seem to have a clue.

"Gamers" are also probably more technology literate and can use google (unlike so many people). To be honest, a lot of people get into coding because they've spent so long reading/documenting mechanics interactions in games, so it's pretty easy to pick up programming.
