Finally got my wife to play co-op with me!!!

Hidden and Dangerous 2 is probably my all time favorite game and have spent many hours on the single player campaign so I decided I wanted to play some co-op. Well, my wife and I was having dinner tonight and I asked her, "would you like to play some co-op". She had no clue what I was talking about so I explained it to her and she was very reluctant to let me load hidden and dangerous on her laptop but she finally gave in.

She has never played a shooter in her life but let me tell you, we had a blast for about an hour tonight and she really seemed to enjoy herself. Near the end, I kept shooting her in the face and she got pissed and quit..hehe.

Man, that was a blast.

Does anyone else have a signifigant other to game with them?

 

me and my girlfriend play frets on fire with external keyboards.

she kicks my ass, and its the only game she will play with me xD

 

Frets on fire is a great game. Are you going to pick up Guitar Hero for pc to play with her or stick with FOF?

 

We tend to play SNES and NES games together quite a bit.

 

ive got guitar hero 3 on the ps2. sticking to frets on fire coz of the massive library online, we can download songs for the latest and stuff, and shes not into the 80s or legendary rock songs.

but its a very fun social activity, i love light activity based games, not worth a console imo. (cough*wii*cough)

 

Lucky.. I can't get my GF to play jack all with me. Shell fiddle around with the old dusty PS2 but never playing anything good with me or..anyone..

tips? LOL

I was thinking tie up and gaging, and forcing her to play but that won't blow over to well after I untie her.

 

lol you could use the old

playagamewithmeandiwilltreatyououtfordinnerandmovie trick.

once she starts liking the game or games she will bother u, make 2 let her win the first few times xD

 

Great stories! It's always nice to hear about good times.

Try the Half-Life 2 Synergy mod:

I played it with a friend and it is fun. Not sure if that's the sort of thing you are looking for but definitely worth checking out.

 

Yea.. u need to let her win..

 

hahah man this is so funny.. i have never even thought about asking my gf to play vid games w/ me.. i think i may just give it a try..

 

Tetris is the only one.

 

I second that

 

Only Puzzle Bubble and Trackmania United
EDIT
My GF tell me that i forgot GTA:SA that she loves...

 

I managed to get my GF addicted to WoW one day...

I had quit, because life was too busy (read: I was playing too much) and have always been really reluctant to start up again.

Well we had a slow week coming up and my GF turned to me and said "I really don't understand why you won't play that game again, what's the big deal? I want to see what this is all about."

So I signed ourselves up. I wasn't going to argue.

She tried it... hated it at first, we changed her character around to a Gnome Warlock (she was playing a Female Orc Hunter orignally) and she got hooked!

I couldn't wrestle the damn thing away from her =(. Ended up buying her her own copy of the game and she played it all week! She's level 38...

That's only the start...

We moved to Australia 3 months ago, and haven't had a computer good enough to play WoW on for said time.

This Saturday, I asked her what she wanted to do... and she asked if we could re register our accounts, go to a internet cafe and play ALL DAY.

I didn't know what to say.

Apparently she finds it a really good way to relax, and with her new job being stressful, has been gagging to play.

Now, we're buying her, her own a Inspiron 1520 while I buy a new desktop PC, so we can play together whenever we want! Not even my idea, I was originally going to buy just a laptop for myself. She INSISTED I purchase my own desktop instead, and with the savings, buy a 15" inch laptop so we can take it with us on our travels (not to play WoW, necessarily... that's just a bonus).

 

I can't seem to get my soon to be gf to play any games with me althought both of us are gamer.
I am jealous with all you guys.

 

She's a PS2 woman, I'm a PC Gamer, though she does play Battlefield 2 online with me sometimes.

Judging from the replies here I guess I'm lucky she's a gamer too!

 

Why am I so glad that I'm single and free to do whatever I please with my time?

I suppose people posting in this thread are a select minority. Don't know if I should congratulate them or give commiserations for loss of freedom.

 

i don't think i want a gf that plays games with me. although i am a great fan of gaming, it just wouldn't seem right at all.

 

Harleyquin07 what loss of freedom?you are the judge of your time,respect and self free time is something you must obtain in a true relationship to last...
And i'm not talking only about games but for every other hobbies you have...
Learn to say

"Sorry i don't have time for shopping i'm fragging my best friend now"

And you'll be happier

p.s. quote jeff,if my gf plays more than me i'll start to worry...

 

So you'd rather a GF that nags about it like most women generally do?

As for 'it just wouldn't seem right'....you sexist pig

 

What's that supposed to mean? Perhaps I'm being misunderstood here but what I meant to say was just about everyone on this thread has to devote part of the 24 hours given to them each day to relationship maintenance, it's something I don't care for since time spent on that activity is likely to be costly in quite a few ways. I'm completely indifferent as to whether or not fellow forum users have relationships but I do know that those who are involved will have less time on average for gaming compared to those who don't ceteris paribus.

 

no, i didn't say that.

i mean, there are much "better" (or more intimate) activities to do (g rated that is)

 

yes, nw that would be worrying.

 

lol luckily my gf is immune to addiction, xD

i dunno id like a gf who likes gore and would scream awesome if u did some insane gore kill like in God of war or gears of war, anything bloody and my gf turns it off lol. m better off with my best friend hehe

 

There is so much wrong with this post... It's just not funny...

You know, some of us are VERY happy to share some of those "precious" 24 hours with someone we care about. There is way more to be happy about then lost "gaming" time.

All of us are just happy that some of that time, is also spent doing a hobby we enjoy, but getting to do it with someone else who surprinsingly enjoys it as well.

 

As I posted earlier whether or not forum users have relationships or not is a matter of complete indifference to me. If you are happy in your relationship then good for you, it won't make an iota of difference to me either way. My point in my first post which I should have stated explicitly was that I don't think that gaming and having a relationship are two entirely compatible activities to spend time with. Of course this thread shows otherwise but it is my opinion that gaming is the better use of my time (applies to me, disagree all you want but I'll stick to this) instead of having a relationship.

 

Hey, fair enough and to each their own eh?

Just seemed a odd thread to post your opinion in, especially when you couldn't care less about about ours.

 

i think it builds a relationship,. i mean if she can take u out shopping with her why cant u game? harley u should invest in a relationship u dunno what ur missing

 

Though I couldn't care less, I am regrettably afflicted by the trait known as curiosity. As you rightly said to each his own and I stand by my thread even if it seems odd to others.

Some value freedom above all else, and I like my freedom to game instead of worrying about others. That's what I am and I'll stick to it.

 

Harleyquin07 there wasn't nothing offensive in my response,it's your choice and will be respected...but - for curiosity - can i ask you how old are you?

 

Old enough to be legally responsible for all actions I take, not old enough to lecture others on life experiences.

 

Believe it or not that worked.. XD

Aw man does she suck at gaming, no matter what game we played, all she did was get the fastest shooting gun, stand there and hold the trigger down and shoot until her clip was empty, as soon as something moved, and occasionally things that didn't move.


Oh.. This dispute going on that 'gaming is useless doing it with a gf' or w.e.. so I understand.. Interesting opinion, why even post it and take away from this thread? You're opinion, who cares, congrats for sidetracking everyone from the point..lol Stupid loners ruining the fun for all the gamin'lovers out there.

 

Please keep this thread civilized. It was going good and I'd like to keep it that way.

 

Well, it looks like a no go for co-op tonight. This may have been my once and only time my spouse plays a game with me. Maybe I shouldn't have shot her in the face....hehe.

 

I remember reading this comment once on another forum by a 16 year old, might fit in well here:
"I really hope my next girlfriend doesn't like to play PC games; why? Because I only have one laptop and I'm not gonna share with that *****". Lol.
Nah, but gaming together is actually quite fun - age of empires 3

 

LOL...that's pretty funny.

 

ha. i will beat you all at video games =P

that goes from tetris to resistance

 

When I play racing games with my girlfriend she throws up lol

 

Strangely enough, I agree with Harleyquin, though I'm a social oddity anyways. My last girlfriend didn't really understand the concept of video games, and thought they were childish. Needless to say the laptop soon got more attention than she did.

I have decided that my next girlfriend will have to be good enough to beat me in an fps match. I'll also accept a loss in Guitar Hero or DDR though.
