Its possible, but he says he never has time for games anymore, which roughly translates to 'I'm gonna lay in bed all day and watch anime and then go to work'

Mortal Kombat X and Wolfenstein: The New Order. Also the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Hitman games, and Max Payne.

Mine plays mostly comfy shit. He fucks around in Skyrim, plays original xcom 1 and 2 a bunch, and the total war series. He's been playing the revamped AoE2 the most lately.
He refuses to play anything online, however. He can't stand screechers especially.
>>
He's really good at Monster Rancher 2, and nothing else. I don't really get it, he can get 999 in all stats like nobody's business, but sucks at every other game.
>>
Wanna meet that dad.

What's your dad like?
>>
Not sure if they count but he plays a lot of sims, particularly iRacing and some flight sim which I can't remember the name of. I'm jelly of his cockpit setup whenever I visit.
>>
>>340446708

Columns and online Sudoku.
>>
My dad doesnt play games most of the time, but he can get into them. He really liked Myst and Riven, and played a bunch of Civ 2 and 3. He's been too into composing to play games in his free time recently

My dad has a self imposed ban from the Civilisation series. Got way to hooked on Civ. After that he hasn't really played video games, only played a handful before that anyways.
>>
>>340446708
He's only ever played Medal of Honor: War Chest. He played it nonstop for 3 years and then stopped. He now says games are dumb. Feels bad man
>>
>>340446708
My dad used to play classic games with me, as well as racing games.
Now he doesn't do any of it. I honestly miss it, but I guess since i'm 23 he sees it as a little kid thing. Probably isn't keen to the idea of two grown man playing a video game together.
Wish he didn't feel that way though.

He used to play Wii Sports with me until he realized he couldn't win. He never paid attention to the patterns or anything just complained when he'd lose. He's very competitive but usually bad at things he tries. He doesn't really do anything any more except watch TV and work. I don't really talk to him so I don't know if anything's changed.

He played Dragon Warrior on NES and hid the cart from me and my brother so we wouldn't overwrite the save data. He really liked KI on SNES when we got the bundle for xmas, he learned all of Spinals moves and transforms. We played a lot of Doom, Chex Quest, Duke Nukem, Quake, Fury3, Descent 2, and Fallout 2 together on PC, but when The Sims came out he just kinda stopped playing anything else. To this day it's still all he plays. Thanks for the primer in patrician taste, pops.

Lego games, sports games, and arcade classics. One of his favorites is Lego Indiana Jones, he would make new accounts on the Xbox 360 we had just to get 1000 gamerscore in it again. I got him an Xbox One for Christmas and he's in love with it. He also got that EA Access thing as well so he can play Madden and normie games like that. Gonna get him the new Lego Star Wars for Father's Day.
