Teaching My Girlfriend To Play- A Lost Cause?

My girlfriend likes to play games- most of them are just on her phone. But a few years back I got her into Minecraft. She loved the game and still does, but ever since Destiny came out that's all I've really wanted to play. That and the occasional GTA. She knows I like to play Destiny, and I've tried to show her how to play a few times. She loves the customization. She seems to be semi-interested in the story. But here's the problem. This is her first FPS. I play this game with my younger brother, his friend, and my best friend. I'd love to get her to do Raids with us because they can really be a blast! But she isn't showing much sign of improvement. She's afraid to get out in the enemies faces and kick alien ass. (She runs scout rifles and snipers). She doesn't understand the mechanics of the game very well, like public events, the story, and intellect/strength/discipline. But when she's over and I walk up to grab groceries at night I sometimes come home to her playing Destiny. Do you think she could be raid material some day? I'd love to play with her and have her know what she's doing! But is this going to be too hard of a game for her to learn how to run a FPS? The shooting in this game is really solid, but I'm just not sure. Should she maybe stay away from the missions for now? Maybe run patrols?

  • If you get home and find her playing Destiny, that's probably a sign that she is trying. :) My very first FPS was Halo: Reach. My husband (at that time he was my boyfriend) taught me how to play Reach. I was (still am) a PlayStation person and I struggled real hard with the 360 controller. But after playing, failing, playing, practice in customs, multiplayer, it finally clicked. Once I could finally hold my own, he taught he taught me strafing and shooting. Boy was I horrible in Reach, but by Halo 4 I was pretty good. Now I play Battlefield, CoD and of course Destiny. The hubbs and I just did a duo Crota's End today and completed the entire raid. I was sword runner too for the first time. In short, yes its very possible for her to learn. Its just going to take practice and time. She'll get it. :)
