My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caution with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K. We call them male "candy crush" games.
Edit: I'm loving the updates. Add Madden and NHL to the list!
I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.
The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it's a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.
I do not get it, everywhere in the world football is like a religion, whenever one is not playing in school or the neighborhood one was playing online with friends. Granted FIFA became shit over the years and people over hyper it, but most people grow out of it, get jobs, etc... It is only natural to find scumbags in popular instances. This meme could have any massive online game and still make sense then.
People who buy a game console just to play nothing but the same sports titles year after year are the absolute worst. I'll never understand why they're like this.
