Well i am currently looking to buy Little Kings Story for the Wii but i am a teen and i know for a fact that it any of my friends see me playing LKS they will diss me straight away and i will be totally embarssed. I would really like the game and i know alot of people will just say 'if you want the game just buy it' but its not that simple. Has this ever stopped anyone from buying a game?

Why should you care what your friends think. If you're really that worried about it just play it in secret, it's not like you have to play it in front of them.

i understand your feeling, but that really never stopped me.Of course now im over 20 so really, even playing Halo 3 will look as childish as animal crossing to some people of my age(the people who dont know anything about videogames).i dont really care and they wont either after a moment.I play what i want.

No. I "kiddie" games all the time. If it's good, it doesn't matter at all what others think about me.

The friends that I used to have were casual gamers so really, it didn't matter. I used to play Animal Crossing with them sometimes.

It hasn't stopped me from buying a Wii game. Most of my friends are gamers anyway. We don't diss each other on what games we're playing. But seriously, if you want the game that badly, just go ahead and BUY IT. I'm 25 and I'm planning on buying LKS when I get a little more money in my pocket.

If you get embarrassed, your friends will definitely diss you, but if you stay confident and explain the irony of the graphics and how the game is about tyrany and polygamy, you just might be able to pull it off. If you can't convince yourself, there's no way you're going to able to convince anyone else unless you were born to be a salesman. It's either that or keep the game hidden when they're over (or say it's one of your family members).

Never.

Please, you HAVE to look at stuff like that as an opportunity to

A) Learn to not care what others think

B) You will actually appear more 'cool' by being so secure to enjoy something that challenges your insecurity.

C) Just be who you are. You will appear more independent.

My friends questioned me when I got Mario Party 8, I told them its because they know they'll get their ***'s beat down on it.

My friends played it, loved it, now we play it fairly regularly:P

What is embarassing is that you actually care what they say. Just don't play it infront of them, but dont try to hide it when they're over. It's no big deal.

Age shouldn't be a factor for playing something you enjoy, hell i'm 23 and I still play games that I had when I was 10, games that I should have "outgrown" by now. Play what you want, if anyone disses you screw them, they can't enoy them the way you can.

PSfanboy101

According to the ESRB, this game was made for you. LKS is rated T. Anyway, don't be embarrassed about this kind of thing.

In the Immortal words of C.S Lewis:

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

^I've used that quote several times on this board but it really does capture the truth about this "kiddie"nonsense like nothing else can. Plus, Lewis is one of my favorite authors.

It is actually not a "kiddy" game. It has strategies and extra stuff that so-called "core" gamers won't have the brains to solve.

No. Tell your friends there stupid and give then give them the talk about perception of hardcore vs. what gaming is really about. Just cause there aren't hundreds of bullets and dead creatures doesn't mean its a bad game.

I got this game the other day, and currently I'm loving it. And I'm in my mid-teens! Don't let what your friends thinkmake you miss out on this game, because you'll regret it if you do. And if you're that worried about what your friends think, tell them it's full of tyrany and polygamy (as was mentioned by psychobrew). That'll win them over.;)

I'm almost 19 and my friends didn't make fun of me when I was playing Rhythm Heaven on my DS. Nor was I ashamed of playing it in front of them. Great game BTW.

I don't have any problems with that at all. I love playing great games with colorful visuals (Little King's Story, Zack and Wiki, Mario Galaxy) and watching Disney animations, but I don't have any problems even saying that to all my friends even though I know a few of them will think that it is ridiculous. I just don't care about it and you shouldn't either because those games are a lot of fun anyway.

*sighs* It's no more "kiddy" than Mario, Pokemon, etc. If you're friends make fun of you, they are most likely idiots. I recommend you show them your seven wives in the game.

If your letting friends tell you what to play, then your playing video games for the wrong reasons... I play w/e I wanna play and could care less what anyone else thinks, you should do the same...

The only person who loses in this situatuon is you TC. Unless being "cool" to your friends is more important than getting and playing what you want.

It's rated T and you can have multiple wives in the game. It's not childish.
