Forums - Gaming Discussion - What would you do to your kids if they hated all your favorite games?

If you had a kid who said "(your favorite games) are all for old farts" and only wanted to play some 4-D super-ultra-HD web 5.0 virtual reality games about shooting space marine hookers full of dynamite, and the games were just full of product placement and DLC about Coca Cola and McDonald's, and the game was sensationalist crap and more marketing than fun... what would you do to them?

And what would/could you do earlier to try to prevent them from coming out like that?

 

I think I'd lock my bastard children in a basement with arcade machines of Donkey Kong, Street Fighter 2, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and a few others, and not release them until they could tell me how the games ended (or in the case of games that went on forever, they'd have to get past 5 levels of Pac-Man and 10 of Space Invaders).  But they'd have to describe the endings through their foodhole.  And they'd only get to eat old Nintendo ice cream sandwiches and Nintendo juice boxes until they were a true Marioboy.

Or maybe to try to prevent this I'd give them a bunch of 3rd generation consoles when they're 3, 4th generation consoles when they're 4, etc. etc., and they'd get the PSWii60 when they're 7.  Hopefully this would allow them to grow up with an appreciation of game history and game art and genre conventions and evolutions.

 

What would you do to prevent or punish this behavior?

get new ones



this:

 

errm, just joking. I will try to play anything that my kid play.



Is there a way I would be able to trade my kid in for a new one?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

So you would tell your kids what kind of games they should like. I am not too surprised.

You'd let your kids be dirty SD gaming peasants?  Or even Marioboys?

Sure, why not. As long as I don't have to play mario with them. :)



Kill them and go find new ones at the dump



...but if my kid say "Nintendo sucks, this crap is only for casual gamers papa", then I will have to sell my kid in the black market, because he can't be of the same blood.



I would stangle that kid throw him down the basement, Make him play old games an play donkey kong till you beat the game. Make them play a 2600. That's what I'll do

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
