Our definitions of quality vary greatly.

Mine is a well made, fresh and exciting.

Yours is seemingly copy+paste / run and gun + derp.

Hit him with the 656 page Skyrim guide until he forgets about MW3

Your friend sounds like a moron from the way he starts bashing your taste on games amongst you and other people around. The best lines to take are:
a ) Bash his taste of games even harder (not going to accomplish anything but if you want to "argue")
B ) Let it be after telling him to s t f u.

Why? You can`t talk sense into stupid people they just get more and more winded up, it`s a known fact.

Bricks work better to get through the thick skulls of COD fans....

A lot of them wear saucepan helmets too - for realism.

Just need a bigger brick.

What is COD?

Reassure him that Skyrim has been dumbed down to meet his needs.

Simply, Dont convince him its his lost not yours. Let him go play COD. Which takes no real decision making.

Does your friend have his eye on a certain girl?
Give a copy of Skyrim to this young lady, then proceed to talk to her about Skyrim every chance you get. (in the presence of your friend ofcourse)

Your friend will absolutely adore Skyrim in no time.

Or any form of brain activity really...

I think I'll just ignore him I spend too much time arguing with him when I should be watching more Skyrim videos

The closest thing to an rpg he would remotely like would probably be mass effect.

Tell them to play it anyway, if they don't, pull the stick thats stuck up his/her ass out of it, let them sniff it, threathen to beat them to death with it, and jam it back in there.

Mass effect is essentially COD with cut scenes

Let the game itself be your rebuttal. When it releases just invite him over to your place and show him the gameplay, it'll speak VOLUMES on it's own. If that doesn't do it then [censor] it. He doesn't deserve to play it

One of my coworkers was going to pick up COD last night at the midnight release and he knows I'm a big gamer and that I've been anticipating "some game called Skyrim" for months now, but he asked me whether I was going to pick up COD that night as well.

I replied to him that while I did enjoy playing COD, I was not planning on getting it anytime in the near future primarily because Skyrim was coming out on Friday, and secondly because while COD can be a very fun game to play with a group of friends or online, I prefer to play one-player games and tend to get bored of games like COD very quickly.

In short, explaining how game preferences differ amongst different people in crystal clear plain English while using a non aggressive tone so that the ADHD morons who have never read a book in their lives and worship COD can comprehend you worked best for me.
He saw my point and just agreed to disagree.

Do a dragon shout into his face and claw his briast. Then wave your arms to fly away.

My brother and uncle are like that. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid. My brother told me that Mass Effect 2 is better than Fallout...despite the fact that he never played Fallout. He wold refer to Fallout as a "sissy game".

Whatever, they're dumb asses, at least I convinced my uncle to rent it.

I think, ironically, you missed my point.

Some people just don't like RPG's even as mainstream as TES is. Just ignore and enjoy the game yourself.

You know what, we have members who are CoD fans and we just don't allow threads that pick on members or groups of members.

CoD fans are among us.
