Yeah, but deciding not to do so after hearing the specific advice is not necessarily a sign of being a head-in-the-ground ass. Especially if it’s just a video game recommendation.
Also, is the person making a recommendation based on what they know of my tastes, or because they want to gush about something they enjoy? I’m happy to hear the latter, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I will like it. If you love spicy food, I’ll gladly listen to you talk about it, but I’m going to ignore your recommendation to try it because I know things about myself, one of which is “I have no spice tolerance”.
There is value in trying things outside your comfort zone. It's the only way to grow, or find new things you like.
