What kind of video games do your parents play?
None, they arent fags
My mom plays Candy Crush on her Iphone.
>>738651837my mom plays all the Harry Potter games and Scrabble
>>738651837My dad used to be based. Played counter strike 1.3 or 1.6 or whatever back in the day and played a lot of diablo 2 and other arpgs together with my mom. He got me into gaming and pcs in general. Now hes but a husk of his former self and only plays diablo immortal on his phone. I don't know what happened....
>>738651837They played the classic Tomb Raider games and Super Mario World when I was a kid.
my dad hated video games until he saw me playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and took an interest. he's now addicted to it
>>738651837That one, they do play Solitaire.
They only play Wordle and the other NYTimes games on their phones these days, but my dad used to do a LOT.>Atari 2600.>Game & Watch.>Counter-Strike 1.6.>Warcraft III.>Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.>Battlefield 2.>Various Call of Duty games from MW2-BO3.>Various Mario games with me when I was a kid.Last game we played together was Black Ops: Cold War. He almost considered playing Black Ops 6, but as soon as he saw me trying out the omni-movement, he backed out because he KNEW there would be a lot of sweats abusing the shit out of it.
>>738651837Dad:>Gears>Mechwarrior>Anything with the Star Wars label on itMom:CandyCrushMario partyPokemon Black and platinum (she hates the 3D ones)
These days, nothing. Back in the day my dad played a lot of F1 Grand Prix and some point & click adventures, and my mom played Doom and Lemmings mostly.
>>738651837My dad used to spend entire days playing Rollercoaster Tycoon.
My mom just does binary puzzles on her phone for hours on end, my dad plays crash bandicoot 1 on an old playstation occasionally.
They were really into it. My dad used to play Medal of Honor, Doom; he was really into Diablo 2 specially. My mom on the other hand was obsesed with Harvest Moon (of course), Azure Dreams and HoMM3 for some reason.My brothers and I held Soulcalibur 2 mini tournaments with my dad, where he called anyone that spammed or used a girl character a fag. Then, when he lost his job he stopped playing with us. He just spent all day on Grandmaster Chess on Xbox. He then killed himself.
My mom plays one of those mobile games where you have to undo the screws and make the pieces fall down.
>>738651837my dad plays league of legendsonly aram and whatever party game mode they have going on, though he got into it himself, i’ve only ever played dota
>>738651837Quake and starsiege tribes.Then he got hooked on world of warcraft and it was fucking over.RIP dad you fat filthy casual.
>>738653264I'm sorry for your loss, Anon.
Mom: minesweeperDad: freecell
>>738651837My dad <3 Galaga.Hey, that's a pretty good idea, flipping the flatscreen to the side for him to play with the adjusted angle, it's gonna be a cool thing to set up on father's day.
>>738651837My dad plays flight simulators.
My dad played nes and my whole family played nes then the SNES came out he passed away and no one played video games after that besides my grandma for some reason she liked hitting home runs in baseball games whatever game it was she would do that. Everyone else in my family stopped liking Nintendo
>>738653432thanks anon, appreciate it
>>738653264That escalated hard, jesus.Sorry anon. Going from Soulcalibur trash talk to grinding Grandmaster Chess alone all day is bleak as hell. Losing his job probably fucked him up more than he ever let on.At least you’ve got the memories of him being based at SC2 and D2. Hold onto that version of him, not just the ending.
>>738651837My dad used to play Bloons enough that he was in some higher tier of rankings. No idea if that means he was good, he definitely said he wasn't, but he played it a lot.
Dad doesn't play anythingMom plays some PvP trivia quiz game on facebook since like 2012
>>738651837Mom plays stardew valley on iPad and steamdeck. Dad occasionally plays some clash of clans clones where he gets to dump 10k in a week, dominate everyone there and then stop playing
>>738651837both my dad and mom played some card games on the PC at some point
My dad loves bethesda games especially elder scrolls, i'd say oblivion is his favourite game of all time with morrowind second. Weirdly enough he rates starfield higher than fallout 3 and NV
My dad got into Steam a couple of years ago and he constantly tells me about how awesome the deals and sales are and how he got a bunch of games really cheap.He never plays any of them though.ONE OF US
>>738651837My dad was pretty good at Toy Story for the Genesis
Witcher 3 right now. Close to 1500 hours.
My mom plays shit like Destiny, Elder Scrolls Online, and Red Dead Redemption. She's 60.
>>738651837I installed PvZ Reflourished in my mom's phone a couple months ago and she's been loving it
>>738651837>solitaireany time i see a screenshot of that stupid fucking card game i get pissed off. my ma would complain im gaming all day even when i had all my homework and chores done, when she is vegging out on the couch playing the same fucking round of solitaire all day! fucking hell man. i’ll get her back though. she’s never getting grand children. ha ha!
>>738651837diablo, wow, some farmville ripoff i don't know the name of, dragon agei think she's also waiting on a sale to get FF7R1
>>738651837im black and don't have a good relationship with my dad (shocker lol)anyway pacman
>>738651837my dad raped me when i was 9
>>738656563forgot to mention, that's for my mommy dad has been gone since i was a wee bab
>>738651837Back in the 90's my dad loved playing Simcity 2000 and Myst, but he didn't really get into anything else. He still says he wants to play through Myst and the sequels but even after retiring never has the time to get to it.
>>738651837I have a Bethesda dad
>>738651837he used to play diablo 2 and racing games with a steering wheel setuphe doesnt anymore he tells me theyre boring and that i should stop wasting time with themas always he's right
My dad will only play RE4 OG and RE4 remake, up until the heat death of the universe.
>>738651837My dad played arcades when he had money. He was very fond of Street Fighter 2. Today, we play Street Fighter 6 together. I will be good enough to kick his as some day.>>738652682That's why modern video games suck. They are made to appeal to the lowest denominator audience. That's why movieslops are rampant.>>738653170Your dad has good taste
>>738651837My Dad used to play a lot of things but now just plays Diablo clones.My mom only played with us to be silly and doesn't play any games.
My dad seems autistic about Gran Turismo and Flight Simulator since decades
>>738654912I do - I still sometimes put on SC2 and vs Mitsurugi on Hard. Maybe one day I'll be able to bond with my kids with vidya like I did with him.
This thread makes me feel so old man, seeing all of these parents who played MW2 and battlefied and pokemon. My parents hated gaming and barely knew how to turn on a pc, much less played counterstrike. Anyone else here an unc like me and born before 1999?
>>738651837Solitaire (Freecell, Spider, etc.) and Online Backgammon sometimes that's about it.
Mahjong. I regret they got me into it.
>>738651837My mom has been playing the same bingo game for 10 years. My dad bounces between solitaire, a mobile free gambling game, and a mobile driving game. He also used to play pokemon on gameboys when he was taking long flights for work. He said he liked how you could "run into a challenge then beat it by getting stronger".
He really enjoys racing games, and always gave whatever I was playing a try and usually ended up liking it aside from turn based games, we had pretty similar tastes.We played a lot of runescape and borderlands together
>>738651837Dad doesn't play anything anymore as far as I'm aware but back then he mostly played Supcom against easy AI to turtle and watch artillery kill the AI, Civilization on easiest (used to play 4 but switched to 5 because he thought it was more realistic) and racing games
>>738651837My mom plays momslop: match 3, merge, hidden objects.My dad loved games. He loved classic Doom, Diablo 2, Titan Quest. One of the last games I ever saw him playing was emulated Faxanadu at age 70. RIP old man.
>>738651837They're dead.
My dad used to play a lot of cod 1&2 and was in a clan, then moved onto quake wars ET until that died
>>738651837My mom hated video games and used to be disappointed in me taking interest in it so much as a child. It was around high school when she asked me if I knew about this video game called "Angry Birds" and wanted me to show her what's it about.I showed her for about 5 minutes and she said "This is what so many of my coworkers are obsessed with? This is so stupid and meaningless."It was around then when she stopped opposing my hobby. I think she just gave up on trying to reason against it and realized she is out of touch. Honestly I get her now that I'm older, and seeing all the new bullshit that crops up that I hate in modern society.
Momma was on mahjong for a while, but she found Best Fiends somehow and has been on that for several years. It's a tile matching game, but you can match in any direction as long as they're the same color, it's pretty good for a free mobile game with optional ads.She also bought herself a gameboy SP to play the GBA remake of Link to the Past, but made me fight the bosses
>>738658474miserable people tend to be hostile towards other peoples interests
My dad plays hoi 4
>implying I talk to my horrible narcissistic and psychopathic parents.The only game they played was manipulation and they lost hard.
>>738651837Dad had old Game&Watch-tier stuff. One portable black&white Zaxxon, and Donkey Kong Jr / not-Super Mario Bros (in a concrete factory or something) that used a weird but cool system with backlighting and a 45° mirror - can't find them on the net.That said, he and my mom mostly play point&click stuff. Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Syberia, etc. Although afaik they got bored of playing those and stopped vidya entirely.
>>738651837>Dad is typical "kids and those damn video games" parent>Didn't usually play when he was home>One day catches me playing Ice Age 2 for the PS2>Instead of telling me to shut it off, watches me play>Tells me to give him the controller>"So how do you play this">Becomes obsessed and 100% the game>Has never touched another video game sinceTo this day I still don't know what captivated him, he hasn't even seen the Ice Age movies
My dad was a sys admin for a uniHe had over 15k hours playing diablo 2 at workHe always said he hated his jobBoomers never realized how good they had it
>>738659059Why are white people like this?
>>738657575I'm a turbozoomer born in the 2000's and my parents have never touched a game.
>>738651837All he really played was our PS1 back in the 90s.Beat RE 1 - 3. Also remember him playing Die hard Trilogy every night after work.
>>738651837mom and dad rented a NES when I was a toddler and played Mario bros 3, I remember them leaving the system on when they took a break to plug the cable back into the TV. I remember this because I got yelled at for being a shithead and pressing reset or power when they were close to the end of the game. They played a lot of nintendo stuff, mario zelda donkey kong (country). They couldn't understand the N64 and 3d games though, like it blew their mind so hard they couldn't understand so they both stopped playing video games around then. Now my mom just plays shit like solitaire word whomp free cell and slot machine games on her computer.
>sent photographs of time trial records from super mario kart to nintendo power>got us 2 years of free nintendo power magazinesonly good thing he did in his life. even i'm a fuck up
>>738660605Reminds me of my dad he was a coder, managed to get himself full time WFH back in like 2004He would often jam himself into virtual meetings with 2 overseas offices he had no real reason to be in so he could game uninterrupted while the chinese and americans argued over sevice packages
I remember my Dad used to play Sid Meier's Gettysburg a bunch on our family PC when I was like 8 or so and I still find it kind of inexplicable because he's never shown any interest in any other games of any kind.
>>738660605Same here but with Castlevania games at his embassy job. He'd play the linear Castlevania games at work all the time on emulators and I'm pretty sure he could beat each of them in a single sitting without dying.
my mom plays pso2 ngs. She likes to cosplay as a furry ark and has a furry gf there.
>>738651837My mom absolutely LOVES those hidden object puzzle games.You know where you have to find things from a list with some cookie-cutter story and graphics that you can somehow quite easily recognize the genre from at a distance.Although she is slowly burning through all I could download her, so if anyone has any good ones then please tell me.>inb4 what did she play?Fuck if I know by now. I just look up lists of "best hidden object games" and download most of them.
>>738661678is she single?
>>738661887yes but she is fat and ugly and got depressed after my dad left us.
>>738651837My dad sits on the front porch on his lazy boy with his ipad watching the footy every night and he's always playing one of those shitty medieval city building ipad games and frankly I think he's happy doing that.
