  • My wife addicted to her phone so I keep putting mobile games on her iPhone. That seems to occupy her! She did the wii for a bit but aside from hexic on the 360, she has had zero desire to play a console game. All I know is you can't force it with your lady friend. Otherwise she'll probably knife you in your sleep... Ok mine would.

  • Was I the only one that could interpret this in wrong way?

  • You'll have to introduce her to lots of different kinds I'd say. Try easier games, like indie games to get her started. They're cute and not as difficult to control as something like a FPS. I'd imagine it would be hard for her to jump right into something requiring coordination and control of simultaneous camera and character movement.

  • What my boyfriend did with me is he showed me lots of different games and styles to see what I would like. I ended up really loving halo but absolutely hating gears. Just show her the games that you have and not all shooters if you have any. Worked with me. Sorry if this doesn't help! 😄

      Step 1: Find an arcade style game that correlates with a preexisting interest of hers. Mine was Racing because my wife loves cars but others include sports or puzzles. Arcade for simplified controls and increased fun factor. Step 2: Find a Graphically impressive game to wow her. Let's face it, we're shallow creatures by nature. Good looks can make up for alot of short comings (Et hem). Step 3: Get a co-op class based game that has specific, well defined roles she can play. This is the whole make her feel special and part of a team thing. Let her be the healer or major damage dealer depending on her preference. After a few "Thanks for the res." or "She killed him!" from the group she'll feel like one a da guys and you're set. Note: Keep it light, play in short burst and don't pressure her.

Although i did get the wife on cod for a while but shes terrible at aiming and moving (whod of thought she couldnt do 2 things at once) haha. she got used to it after a while but isnt interested anymore. I dont think id have a chance at destiny but im willing to buy a new console if she did!! 😆
