Is your wife/gf/bf a gamer? Are they as "hardcore" as you?

My wife plays some games, but it's more like one main game a year or something. She really dug into Dragon Age Inquisition last year.

She likes watching me play games she finds interesting to follow though. She recently watched me play Witcher 3 and was engaged in the story and helping me remember what to do and who was who etc.
 
My fiance is fairly hardcore (she does have a GAF account), and plays a good variety of stuff, though she definitely prefers shooters to almost anything else. However, that changes officially starting today, as she wanted to learn fighting games. So I started her off on Street Fighter 4. She grasped special moves faster than I thought she would, and she's already mentioned that she's very excited to continue learning more.

I guess this means I finally have someone to play fighting games with, so yay!
 
My gf is a gamer. She loves Japanese games & otome games the most. Our collection mostly consist of Japanese games which is awesome. We usually compete every time we play games to see who finish first, some of our recent competitions: Pirate Warriors 3, Senran Kagura EV and Fire Emblem Fates. We also get ultra competitive in Rhythm games, especially on Hatsune Miku games and Love Live SIF. And Musou, the reason we hit it off so well because she shares the love I have on musou games. Co-oping DW8 XL, SW4, SW4-II, Warriors Orochi 3U, DW8E with her was such a blast. Samurai Warriors 4E is gonna be so fun, she already planned to stay over when the game comes out so we can play all-night conquering Japan.

She also got me playing Otome games while I got her into playing galge (basically VN for guys) and we often laugh at each other choices in the game (we tend to joke around that our waifu/husbando taste is better). She even said that once we get VR + DOAX3, we won't see each other for a long time since she'll be busy with Nyotengu.

Tbh, she's a keeper for me. We both share the same taste in games and love to compete with each other so we can finish our backlog.

[QUOTE="D";198031229]It's funny cause she makes fun of me for not beating GTAV yet because SHE did.....but my backlog is horrendous. Plus, new things keep releasing and as much as I try to resist I'm buying new games before I even get past tutorials/prologues

*sighs*[/QUOTE]

Don't let that get you down. With a backlog, you will always have a game to play instead of being stuck playing the same one over and over.
 
Nah, my long-time girlfriend isn't a gamer, although she and her brother had SNES back in the day. What matters more to me, is that she's also a fan of horror, and goes to Black Metal gigs with me, eventhough she doesn't listen to extreme metal music.
 
My wife plays Hearthstone and Final Fantasy XIV. And she enjoys board games quiet abit.
She is not as hardcore as I am though. Meaning that she doesnt seek out gaming sites etc, she just enjoys playing them.
 
Yeah and she is as hardcore as me. She's doing Bloodborne these days and really likes those kind of games. But I didn't meet her because of that, lol. That was a pleasant surprise (not so pleasant when I came to the conclusion that she's playing more than me and I have to wait for my turn to happen).

It's not easy for her to talk about this with her female friends, though. It's odd but the big majority of girls in her entourage thinks video games are for dumb kids... Doesn't help we are parents now.

But I'm always talking about my wife on Gaf, I mean, seriously.

Edit: Oh and I forgot the most important thing, she's a console warrior! I can't have a new PC because of this. Really.
 
My girlfriend got a PS4 to play Bloodborne, and she's way better at Castlevania games than I am. She's also way more dedicated when it comes to online games. I have a tendency to jump from game to game, she sticks with one for months at a time. I think she has 500+ hours in Marvel Heroes.
 
My fiance is an actuary and due to constant exams she has no time for games that aren't pick-up and play friendly. When she finds a game she likes she is dedicated to it. I think the Sims is the series she is most fond of but we would both agree Tekken is "her game". Her father received a free ps3 with a copy of Tekken when he purchased his tv and they never bought any other games. So she pretty much exclusively played Tekken throughout high school and as a result I cannot beat her Lili whatsoever. More recently, she just finished collecting all the cats/gifts on Neko Atsume. We've also play a lot of Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Rocket League, and Castle Crashers.
 
My wife may not play as many different games as I do, but she's still very much a gamer.

She has logged more hours in Skyrim than me.
She mastered Hard mode in Rock Band before me.
She is at a higher Light Level on all her characters in Destiny that me.
She still can't drive worth shit in GTA...

Love you, babe...
 
My wife plays but it really has to grab her otherwise she loses interest quickly. Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Mario Kart, Bravely Default, and Splatoon are her jam. Splatoon is her big addiction. She's played it almost every weekend since launch.
 
My fiancee is a WoW multi-millionaire just like me.
She's got more mounts and titles than me.
She won the first ever Kaluak fishing contest on our server and has the Salty title.

It's kind of hard to get her to play PS4 or Xbox games with me, but she did play and finish the first Uncharted and Halo:Reach on her own last year.

Other than that she likes to play the Sims games and Civilization IV.
 
Mobile games are the only thing my wife will play, Hero Emblems and Plants vs Zombies are her favourites. She gets into them though, unlocking absolutely everything while paying virtually nothing.

She does like to watch me play Zelda. Not Monster Hunter though, apparently it's 'cruel' when I'm carving herbivores up for steaks. Although it might just be that I enjoy the BBQ minigame a bit too much...

Stealth brag thread incoming.

My wife is a gamer. No, not your "oh I play Mario and cute shit like that" ....or one of the women that try to fit in with the "dudebro" crowd by playing stuff like Madden or CoD, I mean like a real, bonafide, sit-down-and-seriously-invest-time-and-care-about-what-you're-doing type of gamer.

She's played and beaten stuff like Ninja Gaiden Sigma, smashed Zeus' face in (and instinctually knew she needed to lay off the O button after a while) in God of War 3, nearly (if not already) platinum'd Catherine, dreams of a similar-calibur mainline title to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and is currently adventuring around on Earthbound, just to name a few.

Dawg, its sooo dope having a live-in gaming "buddy." To have some that can sit and strategize with you, share techniques and advice on a specific boss, root each other on or actually sit down and enjoy a nice co-op game of Borderlands 2 or Pikmin 3. I remember one night, just randomly we started talking about KH Dream Drop Distance, (as I had just beaten it earlier that day) because she's a BIG Kingdom Hearts fan, and we spent the greater part of nearly 2 hours pondering,Google'ing and "theorizing" about what the fuck is going on with the plot, the confusing shit about the Nobodies, and what could be in store for us in KH3.

I bought her a purple 3DS and I drew her a birthday card with Sora giving Kairi a paopu fruit and she nearly melted through the carpet. I gifted her a set of Turtle Beaches for her Xbox 360 along with Far Cry 3 when it first released and she immediately took to Facebook with pictures to "make them hoes jealous". She even enjoyed going with me to the Gamestop Expo that came to my state a few years back. A weird thing she does is she actually sits and watches walkthroughs for newly released games that she wants, with full intentions to buy/play them even having being spoiled by watching the entire thing played. If that shit ain't a one of the weird traits of a hardcore gamer, then I dunno what is!

So what about you fellas/ladies? Does your "other" game too?[/QUOTE]


Feel free to not answer, but ever had great sex after a memorable co-op multiplayer session?

Also my wife is literally the opposite - never plays, never sees the point in games at all. Every now and then I try a new game to see if she'd be interested but it usually falls flat. She enjoyed smashing my face in on Wii boxing and it was a bit scary to see :)

HTC vive is my next chance
 
My girlfriend does play games, but she's not hardcore at all. She is currently playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fantasy Life on 3DS, but it's not a priority or a passion for her. She'll play them on and off for months.
 
Gf plays the sims and is really looking forward to Planet Coaster. We do some Rayman Legends from time to time, but she gets annoyed real fast when i'm rushing through it:)
Also plays Until Dawn and watched me play The last of us and Walking dead, because she was so interested in the story.
 
My wife likes playing the Dance Central games and she'll play a game from time to time with our boys, but other than that, not really.
 
She plays Sims and that's about it. She did play Peggle and FIFA with me, as well, but she primarily plays Candy Crush and the likes.
 
She plays Smash and Mario Kart with me from time to time, but not much more than that. I tried to get her to play Kingdom Hearts once, because she likes anime and loves Disney, but it didn't really grab her. She prefers games we can play together.

She tried LoL, too. She said she can see herself playing it more often, but I feel like playing against other humans could destroy her spirit somewhat (I mean that as a comment on LoL's community, not her skill).
She watches me play stuff like Dark Souls from time to time, though.

So no, not "hardcore" at all.
 
Not my GF, but my younger sister loves playing CRPGs (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights,etc) so much.. Probably not that hardcore in terms of playtime but I always have the impression that CRPGs aren't for casual gamers.
 
She plays Nintendo games mostly. But that's not gaming apparently. Because you have to play what testosteron driven creatures play to be a gamer.

She isn't a gamer though. She's just someone who plays games every now and then. She likes other stuff too.
 
Not a hardcore gamer, but my wife had a Xbox 360 and Fable 2 before we were together, she loved that game. She finished Until Dawn, both THW telltale games, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 and 3, Limbo, Journey, the Lara Croft reboot, and a few others.

Best experince was all the games I could find with a decent LOCAL co-op, like Fable 3 (yah, bad game, but still fun when doing in coop), Beyond Two Souls, Rock Band and GH games, Scene-it and buzz games, and a few others. Other games didn't work for her, like Sacred 2.

My wife is great :)
 
My partner plays games a lot, more than me honestly. I love just sitting with her and playing together. We basically just swap the controller around every once in a while when one of us gets tired playing but still wants to see what happens next. Oh, and co-op games are so much fun too. We've been playing J Stars Victory VS+ together and that's a blast.

She plays Picross and Puzzle & Dragon Z religiously, too.

Damn I love her.
 
Wife is playing counter strike, 999, pillars of eternity, portal series, and just finished A Link Between Worlds.

Life is good. I definitely play more though =p

I'm really hoping that VR brings more people into gaming like the wii did.

Though the wii did have a terrific price point

Thank you for reminding me. I'm adding that to my list. I even got my mom to play buzz with us. Probably the most accessible game I can think of

Jesus fucking christ.
 
My girlfriend does play, but not as much as I do.

Her favourite game series is Silent Hill and she's playing throughout knights of the old republic right now.
She's being pretty darn thorough too, 55 hours and we've finally got all the star maps.
 
She plays games, yes. She likes the puzzle genre and detective-type games like Ace Attorney and Layton specfically, but she also really enjoys the 3DS Zeldas, FF4, Bravely Default, and Saints Row 3. We're going to be getting The Witness pretty soon so we can slowly get through it (it'll mostly be her). I don't think she is as "hardcore" as I am, but I'm glad we can enjoy the hobby together.
 
She's obsessed with Pikmin 3. Specifically the multiplayer which she gets super competitive over to the point where we play for money haha.
 
Not only my GF plays all the same games with me... I wouldn't be able to play them without her. Most games aren't built to be played with just your left hand after all.
 
My gf doesn't game at all but she has no problem with me gaming, she really likes watching me play which I find a bit strange personally.
 
A more accurate question is, Is your wife "real". Eh? Amirite ? How's that waifu doing?

I've always sort of, wanted a gf who would be into video games though.
 
My wife plays Animal Crossing and Pokémon. She enjoys watching me play games like Resident Evil so we can figure out puzzles and whatnot together.
 
Not as much as she used to be during the PS2 era. We'd play through games on a daily basis back then but her interest has since waned.

She'll still play through some story driven games with a heavy narrative such as Life Is Strange, The Walking Dead and Until Dawn etc...

Oh and she's obsessed with the Lego games. We've 100% every single one that has been released without fail. In fact we just finished off Lego Avengers last week.

I'm kinda glad in a way that she's not as hard core as I am as however nice it is to share a common interest it's also beneficial in any relationship to have something that you're passionate about that's just yours.
 
Nope. She's got no interest in gaming whatsoever and I like it.

Good company without thier face constantly lit up by a mobile phone playing some puzzle game shite is nice.
 
My wife isnt a huge gamer but she goes through spurts of being obsessed with individual titles. Since we got married shes finished Alice:MR, Darksiders 1 & 2, all the Kingdom Hearts HD titles, Fable 2 & 3 and others. She doesnt play alot but when she does, its 100% completion OCD shit lol
