games you play by yourself

what are some game you just dont want to be seen playing?

For me, it's Bayonetta, for obvious reasons

Heavy Rain, particularly whenever Madison was the character of the moment...

Depends on who's the subject.

I wouldn't mind playing, say, Final Fantasy X with a few friends (probably watching, since it's not really a multiplayer game), but I wouldn't want to play it in front of some of my more elderly relatives, for example.

Anything from the Touhou Project. Most of the people I know would give me a weird look or worse for playing a game about girls shooting each other with lasers. Still love it though.

Well, there was one module for Neverwinter Nights called A Dance With Rogues...(blushes)

When I was younger I always tried to hide the fact I played Super Princess Peach. Nowadays, I don't care.

I used to go out of my way to play Touhou in public on my laptop. I think I wanted to show off, of course I was just playing on normal. Honestly I don't think the characters would be noticeable at a glance unless you just pause on the dialog segments.

^^^^ & ^ Heh. I play Touhou whilst on my breaks at college. It's been variously described as "psychedelic", "trippy", "What.", and, weirdly, "not a proper game".

On topic, I'd say Elite Beat Agents, if only for the sheer silliness of it.

Okami during the Rao scenes, for two obvious reasons.(Three if you include her leitmotif)

Persona 4. Specifically, any scene involving Sayoko.

Jewelry Master Twinkle. Fortunately...

yeah. I once made the mistake of fighting Shadow Rise with my mother in the room. it wasn't a mistake i made on the next playthrough.

Hidden Object Games, and not just because of the "casual" stigmata. I hate it when people try to point things out to me! "Oh, oh, there's the shark! Right there! And the mushroom and the milkshake and the rope!" Are you going to let me actually find any of these myself?

I'll add Muramasa The Demon Blade to the list. While I still can play in front of family members, you might wanna avoid the hotsprings the monkeys show you, unless you want to be labelled a pervert. (Not to mention Rajin...)

Yoshi's Story mostly because of the ending

Probably Arcana Heart. Even worse, it's probably the traditional fighter I'm best at (Maori+Lang-Gong wins forever).

Style Savvy.

Rhythm Heaven. Especially the level with the clapping monkeys.

Definitely Bayonetta. I've been fighting to the good fight for the last decade to convince my parents that no, I'm not a closeted lesbian. I just don't have a sex drive.

...Bayonetta would not help my case.

I don't think Bayonetta would help anyone's case.
