Gaming with the Wifey

[Unreallystic]

I've been on the hunt lately for games that I can play with someone of the female gender. All my games tend to be fighting games or something extremely competitive, thus...yeah they don't want to play with me. They 'know' when I'm 'faking it' lmao. any recommendations for games I can run with someone? Currently I have a XBox 360, PS2, GameCube, DC, and looking at buying back my XBox, and possibly adding a Wii to the collection. Currently the games I've run with my Ex that worked for a little bit...

Viva Pinata - X360 - was good, but takes a long time to get started...great for a GF, sucks when a random chick wants to play

Luminees - X360 - sucks one player as going thru the levels takes forever to just watch. Competitive play wether time trial or actual head-to-head, I end up crushing them.

Super Monkey Ball - GameCube - Lasted one night. After she played on it for an hour, I whooped her on my first try :sad: ...so much potnetial...cute monkies, easy premise.

DDR & its variants - PS2 - Supernova as been the best as its relatively easy and has songs they know verses the Jap/Euro techy stuff, however my current apartment won't allow me to...jump all over the place for noise reasons *working around this now*. Can be fun when you finally convince them to give it a real try.


I'm looking for a few more options though...

[RockBogart]

Does she really want to play games, or is she just doing it to please you? No point in playing if she doesn't like it.

[Rooks4]

It seems generally women enjoy puzzle games more than any action/adventure/RPG/Fighting games that we play. For the life of me I couldn't get my wife to try any of the FF games or WoW or any other game I might have been playing in the past.

However, I picked up PS3 and she took one look at that Piyotama game (which is kinda like tetris but you reshuffle eggs trying to get 4 in a row/diag/etc in order to 'hatch' them) and immediately wanted to play it. I love gaming with my wife, I just wish we shared more games in common.

When the next FF game comes out im going to try and get her to play it with me... i.e. ill only play it when she's home so she can follow the story and HOPEFULLY get into it. Fighting games or games where it's easy to die (like Mario Galaxy, for instance) just can't hold her attention long enough.. she get's frustrated too quickly and wants to quit.

Maybe it's not that way for all women, but I definitly see a trend towards puzzlers more than any other genre for them.

[G.O.T]

What RockBogart said. But I've seen girls play these the most.

Katamari Damacy
Dance Dance Revolution Supernova
Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble
Mario Party
Mario Kart
Mario Tennis
Halo (yes a lot of them do)
Wii Sports

Just something that's not complicated.

[RoninChaos]

me and the wifey play lego star wars. She likes star wars and the lego games are hilarious.

[Adam Warlock]

snip

believe it or not, CVS2:EO is a big hit with the wifey since she can "do" the moves now.

[angryliberal]

get a wii. you wanna play games with girls, wii is the system to get. i know girls who HATE video games in general, but love the wii. my fiance can't understand why i play most games, but she spends as much time on the wii as i do.

[Jimmy Bones]

I saw a gurl playing SFEX2 2 days ago.
And my lil cousin plays SSMB.

[ultra_nYo]

I think I'm lucky in that my girl likes watching me play some of the games if the story is good. Sometimes we'll play some games together. Usually its something co-operative though as she doesn't like being competitive. Co-operative and easy to play not something that requires a lot of execution. So something along the lines of lego star wars or even double dash works well. We've been playing a PS3 title called Pixel junk monsters(Basically tower defense) lately. We really enjoy it.

[w1r3d]

seconded on Katamari Damacy. My ex-gf would have fun even looking at me playing it. Although she was into japanese music/anime and stuff so that might've been why she liked it. >.<

Aside from that, I don't really know of any games my ex-gf REALLY liked playing with me. She enjoyed DDR for the exercise. I got her one of those singing games but yeah, that one she played by herself, lol.

[AcEtUrNeDjOkEr]

I've seen many ladies gravitate to Rock Band, GH series. Woman love the Wii as well...

You need to hit me up offline cause we need to talk about this...... :mad:

[JackTenrac!]

Girls love the Wii like Pookey loved crack.

[King9999]

I'm planning on getting a PS3 when I move tomorrow, but I may have to get a Wii as well.

You don't. Get Super Puzzle Fighter II HD Remix, Piyotama, and Super Rub a Dub. Those will last longer than Wii Sports or Wii Play, which get old very quickly.

EDIT: If you do get a Wii, I think Wii Play makes for a better 2-player experience than Wii Sports, although half the "fun" from either of those comes from the Mii builder.

[valaris]

Definately get Super Rub a Dub. That game is pure cocaine shaped like a rubber ducky.

[the_dannobot]

Get Cookies & Cream for the ps2. It's a coop platformer, perfect for playing with the SO.

[BrentoBox]

Go the RPG route and get an RPG that isn't to complicated and doesn't involve to much customization.

I played Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door with my girlfriend. We still can't find a game to play together that is as much fun as that one. I highly recommend it. It is a bit of a time consumer though.

[BrentoBox]

Well, I'd like to get a Wii anyway for SSBB, but thanks for the recommendations. :tup:

[rcaido]

My asian wife love my Wii...She plays it more then i do...

Wii Sports (bowling)
Wii Play
Mario Olympics
Sega Bass Fishing
Mario Galaxy
My Word Coach
Just bought 2 Perfect Shot guns, maybe she will like Ghost Squad...

DS Lite is also good way to play w/ your wifey...

Tetris
Clubhouse Games
Mario Party
Or anything Mario

360
American Idol Karaoke Revolution
Scene It
Virtual Tennis

PS
Hot Shot Golf

[Unreallystic]

Check the language in the actual post. I'm not calling her my wifey, its more of a general topic, not for a specific female. She's not the only female who's come over my psot to play video games.

I'm trying to avoid games with long setups and intros. Veva came over and got bored with a game just because it took like 3-5 minutes before the storyline was over and she could start 'killing guys'. Viva Pinata is a great game for the ladies, but it starts sooo frigggiiiinn sllllllloooooowwwwwwwwww...I'm trying to avoid that. I'd like to avoid head to head as much as possible, I tend to excel beyond them most of the time - and then they quickly lose intrest when they aren't winning. Rockband has been the current 'winner', but...yeah taste is different...and I can't play RB for too long anymore - hour max.

As for 'when' - its not playing games cause I want to, its just finding things to do besides a movie.

[ShawnLoganownzu]

I tried playing Mario Party with a gf once...

well she basically threw the controller at the TV after i jacked one of her stars... gg

[Spaceman Spiff!]

mario kart
mario party
doa beach volley ball (my girls bi)
fps's

[ProfessorS]

If she's got a bit of patience and prior knowledge/skill with video games, then Harvest Moon game...bitches love Harvest Moon.

[Lv.32 Z-Ism Rose]

My wife doesnt really play SF, but she loves puzzle games. Currently we play together:

Unreal Tournament on the DC
Radiant Silvergun on the Saturn
Saturn Bomberman on the Saturn (my 7 year old joins in on it as well. NOthing like pelting a bomb to your offspring:lol:)
SUper Puzzle Fighter
Tetris Attack on the Saturn
Sakura Taisen Columns on the Saturn
Top Shop on the PS1/2
Pocket Fighter on the Saturn or PS2

[Satomiblood]

Smash Brothers because it's both cute and fun.

Supernova is relatively easy? :confused:

[StuartHayden]

Supernova is relatively easy? :confused:

DDR in general is easy.

Me and my ex played Chocobo Racing a lot.

And like all of my girlfriends but my recent one didn't mind I played/obsessed over fightings games. And they'd understand when I'd have game nights. Half the time they would be recording matches or getting hyped up with the rest of my friends.

But when it came time that where they wanted to fuck. They HATED competing against my love for gaming.

But yeah, racing and puzzle games are a must have when it comes to girls and gaming. There are very few exceptions.

[queen of combat]

well for a new gamer those are good. For a experienced girl gamer,let her try all kinds of games. There are about 100 girls in my clan alone that play COD4 and around 110 that play Halo 3,60 for Gears of War,a lot more for other games too. A lot of them are wives and have kids. I can't stand it when people see"oh it's a girl,she must play puzzle and barbie games":rofl: each person is different so let her try out all kinds. If she needs some encouragement in trying the non puzzle-girly games,look me up. I am a fighting game fan,FPS fan :lovin: or for girls that want to play with other girls to make them feel more welcome try this group:

[Unreallystic]

Supernova is relatively easy? :confused:The 'footings' on Supernova seem to be lower than previous iterations of DDR, add to that the fact that the songs in general are a bit slower...and at least for me it was easier to the point of actually not being fun. I still want B.O.B. in DDR but thats another story.

Anyone try out the new Mariokart?
- :bluu:

[wez]

The chicks I hang out with love to play some Guitar Hero.

[swerve]

my g/f and I play wii quite a bit.

when i rented Cooking Mama Cook Off she liked it...

[Warpticon]

...what?

Double what? Unless you're playing on beginner level, there's absolutely no way this is true.

[Satomiblood]

The chicks I hang out with love to play some Guitar Hero.

Most girls that weren't previously into videogames will often play this.

[Demon Dash]

You need to "accidentally" leave a porn in there and be like "Oh my, what is this? I don't remember leaving that on there... Oh well, lets just watch this for a while..."

*slides over slightly*

"Giggity giggity... All right...

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Any Wii games, and rock band.

Nothing like 2 or more people playing drums, bass, guitar, and singing. Its a social experience, slightly physical and gaming all rolled up into one.

Wii would like to play DVDs, but Wii can't.

[ultra_nYo]

Yeah Rock Band and karaoke games work very well here. Its to the point where she just buys all that stuff so I don't have to :)

[Septimus Prime]

Oh yeah, and SingStar whenever it comes out, will be great for this kind of stuff.

Jesus, Eric, calm it down. We know you love your PS3 enough to lick it every night. You don't gotta take every chance you can get to tell people you think the Wii and the 360 both suck.

[Septimus Prime]

Heh. It's actually just a schtick on SRK. I play Wii a lot too.

And why aren't you on AIM anymore?

[StuartHayden]

...what?


I played step mania a lot on my computer so I was use to the speeds and rhythms of the game before I actually played it.

Plus I played with the 3 top players in washington on a daily basis. So I learned pretty fast.

[Manx]

Wife loves the Wii (that I don't own...) and Age of Empires 1, since I don't have the expansion for 3 and she will only play the Aztecs. She likes Street Fighter, but she will only play it with me, but gets frustrated because she can never win. I been trying to teach her but it's impossible because she gets frustrated too easily. She also enjoys Mortal Kombat. But not in my house. :tup:

Offtopic - Ronin, is that that crazy public access channel swearing preacher in your AV?

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

Careful Unreal, there's certain members here who seem to think that gaming with the wife makes you an "auto-loser" as I've been called before. God forbid we as men would want to share any kind of gaming enjoyment with our significant other. :rolleyes:

[The Epidemic]

my girl likes playing doa4, halo3 and mrs pacman

oh and she likes watching me lose/die in games...does that count?

[Stylistics]

my wife hates videogames. sucks to be me...

[Romie]

Not for any system you have, but Professor Layon and the Curious Village for DS is good. My and me girl play it and solve the puzzles together, plus it has a pretty good story.

She hates MVC2, but likes Mortal Kombat Armageddon. She likes to create a character, then just mas buttons, which is pretty much what I do too. Akuma FTW.

[Luciano Leone]

DDR in general is easy.

Yeah, it is....

If you do SMOKE A BAG OF METH first. Unforgivable.

[mastermind]

Get Rez HD for 360, plug in a second controller and put it down her pants while you play. And make sure you turn the volume up. Trust me on this (http://www.gamegirladvance.com/archives/2002/10/26/sex_in_games_rezvibrator.html). :wgrin:

...actually, if you can find the PS2 version, that'd be gold, too.

[tl613]

Wii is definitely the best system for gaming with females. My girlfriend and her sisters also love to play Guitar Hero and pretty much any puzzle game, ie. Super Puzzle Fighter, Bust-A-Move, Tetris, etc.

[DropOff]

I gave that bitch a pokeman.

Bitches love pokemans.

[Kuya]

Heh, Mario Kart Wii is great! We play online almost every night and are always trying to back each other up :rofl:

[Lucretz]

It's already been stated, but extremely true, that all bitches love music sim games. DDR, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, what the fuck ever.

I've had some success getting girls to play Culdcept with me. It's kind of complicated though, I guess. If they really aren't into games at all, you can just liken it to being a board game. My one friend really likes it because of the art on the cards and the cuteness factor. It wouldn't be good for one-shotting though, but if you're looking for something to try and play with her over a decent period of time, it might be a decent choice.

[The Epidemic]

Yea..my girl is usually the singer when we play rockband...shit be funny at how she be failing while on "Hard" difficulty :rofl:

[ckrazy]

The hell all you have to do is follow the pitch you don't even have to sing you can go

AHHHHhhhhhhhHHHhhhhhHHhh the whole time and get like a 95%. :wink:

Basically from my experience you guys are dead on with Wii, Mario, and Rockband.

[The Epidemic]

^she knows but..she says tats a "glitch":rofl: and you shouldnt do it. She trys to spit the lyrics for real.

[Jaldaboath]

Get Pump it up and 2 mats. More dancing and les mashing than DDR, way more friendly to girls... And people who can actually move...

[tl613]

If you want something to occupy her time and don't care if it's multiplayer get her a DS. I was able to keep my girlfriend occupied for weeks with games like Rocket Slime and Harvest Moon.

[Warpticon]

I played step mania a lot on my computer so I was use to the speeds and rhythms of the game before I actually played it.

Plus I played with the 3 top players in washington on a daily basis. So I learned pretty fast.

That doesn't make it easy, especially in the context of trying to find something for a girlfirend who isn't really a gamer to play.

[Azrael]

If you do go in on a PS3, the Go! Puzzle game pack is pretty good. Also, we just bought Echochrome last night and she's very interested in it. I bought it off the Japanese PSN, but I'm sure the American release will be soon enough.

She also likes Katamari, but she gets motion sickness from it.

[Vy Low]

Yeah Wii is where it's at when it comes to gaming with a significant other.

What can be annoying though, is listening to them whine about how much their arm hurts .

[Akutabi Gamma]

Cooking Mama!

...yeah that came out wrong....

[Brooklyn]

bust it baby and i like tetris...

[Stuckey]

In my experience, chicks LOVE Mario Kart games. Doesn't matter which one either. I know a few that like Halo, and generally anything that's not a fighting game and has stages (not something that has save points like Zelda or Final Fantasy type shit). Also, this doesn't necessarily count, but some chicks like to take part in survival horror games. They don't take THAT long to beat and they like to help with the puzzles and inventory management shit (and some sadistic ass women just like to watch you lose/die) :lol:. And classics are always good. Keep in mind, EVERYBODY (I hope) had a Super Nintendo growing up. Even the ladies.

[Brooklyn]

ironically the first night i hung out with bib i played super nintendo for the first time in 10+ years..

[dn3000]

My GF loves Bomberman, SF and Tony hawks American wasteland....... now if i can just get her into more games.. (divises insidious plan)

[Sephiroth_KMFDM]

I'm really lucky my girlfriend plays Final Fantasy and she loves to watch me play Metal Gear =D
Altho.. i can't get any girlfriend to play Street Fighter with me. I think the learning curve is to sharp for them (not saying all girls but girls in general) they don't like complicated games.

I had an ex that played Marvel vs Capcom 2 with me, but she sucked horrible i always put my handicap all the way down and she put hers all the way up. Made it... kinda fair.

Also... girls love games that are mindless and button mashing. Throw them a NES with Caveman Games and the will love u forever.

Oh one more piece I gotta add to the thread they also like mmorpgs.. I frankly have a distaste for that genre but this one girl I use to know that was fine as hell was into WoW hardcore.

What is it about wow that have females sell themselves short? The internet is a hilariously place.

[versus addict]

My girl and I play all the time together...

Soul Calibur 3
Mario Kart DS
Wii Sports
SSBB
Williams Pinball Collection
Super Monkey Ball

[Unreallystic]

I have yet to meet a girl who likes RPGs, righting games, or MMOs.

The pinball thing sounds like it might be a perfect 'stealth title' for me to find. The wii sounds nice but isn't a realistic option, I'm not hunting it down nor am I putting out a few hundred bucks just for her. For that much I can buy a woman to do things to me. I'm trying to keep things on a budget - so cheap titles/systems I alrady own are the main ways to go, just looking for ways to kill time with them. We run some RB but like I said that game bores me after an hour - usually after about 5 songs (I just don't like the music sorry). I'm setting up DDR tonyte, maybe as I get back into it she they will try it out too. Era on 8 feet here I come!
- :bluu:

[thurst]

In my experience, chicks LOVE Mario Kart games.

i was gonna say get diddy kong racing for the n64, but yeah mario kart and any other really simple racing games. you might have to job a little bit to get them into it, but those games are pretty addictive.

also i'm pretty sure someone else has mentioned it, but the smash games are pretty good too. everytime i'm over at my friends place we play brawl and the girls get into the action too, mind you none of us are really huge gamers anymore so i feel that's saying something.

mario party is another good one too.

i've met a few chicks that like RPGs, but since i hate RPGs that didn't really do anything for me. i bought my friend (who's a girl) a gamecube for her bday and a copy of soul calibur and she ended up playing the hell out of that game, i still used to beat her ass in it but it was good times.

No...we play that once in a blue moon, but its head-to-head, these games are bad. Outside of Veva no female I have gamed with has been anywhere NEAR my level in ANY game, and I can't even play bad to make up the difference, hell I pulled out Dan and still won. Its the biggest turn off to the women I've played with - losing...and they know when I let them win. Even games like DDR, I'm doing 6+ feet like its an everyday thang, and they struggle with 3 footers. so I'm really trying to find non-violent games that you can pick up and be competitive with thats not confusing *sorry Smash Bros would be a really really big NO, they would get frustrated from all the random shit trying to keep track of it* OR that the two of us can play together cooperatively.

Ace is right typically its no longer than an hour *unless it freaking RB I'm tired of that game* - so I need simple, I'm not even against kid games. If its one player though it needs to be short *the big problem with puzzel games, if I get good she sits there for too long and loses patience; typically becoming a dick when they play talking about going two to three times, then I lose patience and go do something else*.

I'm going to look for that pin-ball game (1), and was wondering jhow the AMC bowling game was...

Looks like you need to expand and get out the videogame dates; explore DC or something, then coming back to the games as you "wind down". You can't play a night of gaming with the majority of woman. Cause after that hour of gaming...what do you do then?

We typically play when the nyte is winding down...its not 'what we do all nyte'...I'm just looking for gaming filler.

Show her Tekken Tag. She will give you the fussiest hug you ever had.








I assume.

I had a strip Tekken Tag match with a girl. I beat the shit out of her.

Anybody ever throw a match here and there if she starts getting pissed off/frustrated because you're on a beasting streak?

...then she gets back in her zone and wrecks you straight up?

Yes. Sandbagging can be a tricky thing. You let someone get to far ahead and it can be hard to catch back up.

I have yet to meet a girl who likes RPGs, righting games, or MMOs.

The pinball thing sounds like it might be a perfect 'stealth title' for me to find. The wii sounds nice but isn't a realistic option, I'm not hunting it down nor am I putting out a few hundred bucks just for her. For that much I can buy a woman to do things to me. I'm trying to keep things on a budget - so cheap titles/systems I alrady own are the main ways to go, just looking for ways to kill time with them. We run some RB but like I said that game bores me after an hour - usually after about 5 songs (I just don't like the music sorry). I'm setting up DDR tonyte, maybe as I get back into it she they will try it out too. Era on 8 feet here I come!

...you play 8's and you think Supernova is easier than other mixes? I'm so confused.

Also, most of the girls I know that play games at all play rpgs, FF especially, so that's unusual. This thread seems more like something to initiate the casual gamer unobtrusively rather than being anything specifically about girlfriends.
