How can I get more into video games?
-
I don't really play games that much, seeing as I like to be more physically active, and I have always been a sucker for games with grand stories (MMO's and RPG's mostly fit that category) and Classics (Pokemon, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, etc) not much into fighter and shooter games. I'm also the kind of guy that rarely replays games, when ever I do replay it is only to see if I can get a different ending or create a different story (Dragon Age Series, Skyrim, Fallout are some examples). Thing is, a lot of my friends, a couple girls I like ;) , and a couple cousins are all really into games... But shooter/fighter games. I'm not good at fighter games (Unless it's Mortal Kombat, for some reason I'm awesome in it) but I'm absolutely a great player in shooter games (Battlefield and Medal of Honor games though, hate CoD) but I get bored of shooters real fast (after awhile, I pretty much force myself to play just to keep my friends happy). I don't really know what to say, I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm trying to be...

Answer:
Just be open-minded when they ask you to play a shooter/fighter game with them, and then when you're on your own, play the games that you like. Try to make connections between elements in certain RPG games that perhaps remind you of something you saw in a shooter/fighter when you're discussing games, or talk about what you liked or didn't like about a particular game, or why one shooter/fighter appealed to you more than most other ones. Sometimes it's the differences between friends that make the relationship and conversations interesting. You could also look into action RPGs.

Just be yourself, really. If you're not a gamer, you're not a gamer. Try and look at some different types of games and see if you like them, if you don't, you don't. Just have fun with it, that's what they're meant for, so just forcing them at you will ruin the experience.

be yourself, if you don't like gaming, you don't like gaming, its like trying to convince yourself that a girl you don't like is attractive, won't work very well :P

Don't force it. Just try to fit yourself into the character's shoes. However, if you're not a gamer, don't try to be one. You'll annoy real ones and be unhappy at the same time.

If you like great stories get halo. Although most of the epic story is in the books but the games are still pretty good. If the games do interest you i recommend halo 4&and the books in the forunner saga as they will tie directly into halo 4.

If you are a big fan of games with storyline, then maybe The Legend of Zelda series is for you. Some of the games start off slow but the rest of the game has a very good story, exploration, and battle style.

as nathenie said or whatever his/her name is just don't force it for me i don't really know what you must feel like cause i grew up on games litterly when i was born my parents bought a ps 1 just for me and my uncle, but if you are bored of shooters like i get some time either take a long brake like a week or so maybe watch some funny youtube comentaters like uberhaxornova, xxslyfoxhoundxx, and many other people, or go get a game that you enjoy a lot......like...... a LOT and maybe make some new friends online, or make up a story and joke around with your friends, for some reason it's really fun when i'm in an xbox live party with more than 6 of my friends and we're all in one game togheter and it's like 1 in the morning that always awesome times. but if this doesn't work then just scew around be a jackass or a douche online or just a total idiot and run around spinning the whole time.
