So let me clear the air.

The reason why I've only played few games on my PSN profile are as follows
1. I recently created this account because I wanted it to be a US based account. My former PSN account was a Uk based account but I later found things on the Uk PSN site way expensive compared to the US PSN because of VAT.
2. I cannot get access to many games right now even though I wanna get games like COD AW and GTA V because I'm currently doing my NYSC in a remote area. I was lucky to get my FIFA 15 on launch, ordered for a few mates only for them to get it just last month. See?
3. There's only few games on next-gen consoles that are worth playing right now and I'm sure you can agree with me on this. Lot's of the PS4 games that make sense are just remakes and nothing more. I can bet you that listing 10 solid non-remakes on next-gen will be a task for you.
4. Back to playing only FIFA, I only play that when I'm online because that's what my horrid internet speed can take atm. Imagine serving in a village, using your phone as a hotspot to create a network for gaming with the terrible carriers in this country. This is what I face.
5. Glad your on my friend list on PSN. Just watch how many other games I get once I'm done with my service in February. You'll be amazed at my range and choice of gaming.
6. I'm a completionist. Kind of because I love ending what I start no matter how long it takes me. I love a good challenge this is why I'm still playing FIFA even though I hate this game with all my life. I play this often because I can't get access to other games right now.
7. As for playing dress up and going shopping, I've played some dress up games in the past out of curiosity and trust me it made no sense for a guy to do so except if he wants to be a fashion designer. Shopping? Aha?! That's a tedious task for most males. They would rather give someone money to buy them stuff or do that online.

I hope I've cleared your doubts with the points I've raised.

Peace ✌
Accepted! cheesy

Keep on living in denial saying this because a console will always be a better gaming platform than PC. I've played across all platforms and I can say PC is the worst of them all and I'll tell you why.
1. PC is always down the pecking order once games are released due to less customer base on that platform. The number of PC gamers are indefinite because you can't tell the number of PCs bought by PC gamers.
2. Finding people to play with online will always be a challenge because only few people play PC games compared to console. Finding players on console is way easier than doing so on PC
3. Immersion on a console trumps everything a PC can offer. The accessories released by console manufacturers are way superior to that of PC.
4. A solid PC gaming rig costs about at least $3000 to build and I'm pretty sure you game on your laptop (with only few worthy games) so that's ruled out. A PC gamer has to upgrade and tweak his/her system toeet the minimum requirements of the game to be played. A console costs just about $400 with a controller.
5. Consoles are more portable, easier to setup and configure unlike PC plus it's also easier to maintain.
6. The only games worth playing on PCs are FPS because that's the most immersive genre on PC. Any other game won't be as fun as playing on a console.

Good luck having fun on your "PC" because I know "real" gamers who own a gaming PC also have a console on the side.

7. It's a platform for the elite gamers - not for bubble gum players.
8. Pushes the technological edge of video game development
9. Has wonderful communities (especially modding) compared to console.
10. Too cool for most pple (u included) to handle!
Peace...

The only thing I miss back from gaming on PC is the ability to MOD my games. Trust me, I love patches and MODS even more than the game itself but that's the only edge PC has over console.

"Too cool?" Are you having a laugh?

PC is way more cool than consoles (and you should know that) technically speaking. Graphics? Can't compare; and all other things my cranky phone won't permit me to type... But the developers know there is blood money to be made on console - I mean, u guys will pay for anything.

I will pick a fun immersive gameplay over the best graphics and shit gameplay anytime, any day

As usual a girl says she can play, a guy asks for proof. A guy says he can play, it's taken at face value & no proof is needed. Now, from your PSN profile, http://psnprofiles.com/Qoigord I would say you're a newbie to Playstation gaming, and you're a recent owner of the PS4, who's also a completionist. Who spends a lot of time playing FIFA 14 & FIFA 15. I'll commend you for the platinum in Watch Dogs. But, you've only owned 6 games and played 4...(technically you own 5, since I'm guessing the playroom is like the weird thing on PS Vita); and I kinda want to shout at you for abandoning The Last of Us Remastered since September, but I'll let it slide, 'cause life can be hectic. Although, since you're a guy & you don't succcumb to feminine flippancy*, I will not.

*Hey, you've decided that a guy being into shopping makes him gay and some of your fellow guys have said down right stupid things, so I'm guessing all bets are off. I might as well conform to the stereotype.

Maybe, you're an ace with steam and Xbox LIVE, but since I don't play PC games/downloads and I haven't touched my 360 in years, I shall judge you solely on your PSN...Unfair? Yes, but I'll do that anyway, it's my prerogative, remember I'm conforming to my stereotype.

Looking through your PSN, why haven't you played a single FPS? Aren't you a guy, aren't you supposed to want to enjoy killing random folks with a gun, shouldn't it evoke the alpha manliness that is you? Aren't you supposed to be a hunter, provider and manly man? Where's God of War? Is the utter magnificence of the gore and chaos too much for you? Now you could say that it's not available on the PS4, but you should have owned a PS3 previously, you're a true fanboy gamer! Dude?! C'mon son! You call yourself a gamer? Aggressively playing footie on your Playstation doesn't make you a baller, it just means you've got enough time on your hands to get almost every single trophy. Maybe, after you've populated your profile with at least 30 games, then you might be considered a gamer.

Annoying isn't it? When someone decides they're the paragon of gaming knowledge & everyone else isn't...Don't worry, I'll quietly seat in the corner and continue to feign ignorance, before I decide to actually annoy those guys who believe they know every single Nigerian girl and woman on a mental level.

Hmm! All dese for 1 person

Okay, then let me ask you. Why do males hate playing with dressing up and shopping? It's the same thing lol.

that's what we do in video games : we dress our characters with finest gears and shop for ammo

thanks smiley

why don't you like board or card games? they are pretty cool cheesy

you are kinda right though, some girls don't wanna play so they wont be labelled as tomboys. Even the ones interested sef.
just the same way some guys who love fashion don't talk about it or pretend they don't have interest so they wont be seen as girly.

We can't expect everyone to fit into those lil stereotypes. That's the problem we have here, everyone should be allowed to do what they wanna do without putting anyone into a box of what we think is right for a particular sex.
