Help with a new gamer
- Feb 8, 2013 4:30 am GMTI've been trying to get my non-gamer girlfriend into games recently and I've had success to an extent. I've gotten her interested in some games but I want to try and expand what she likes. I figure if I can get her more familiar with basic controls and the button layout, she'll be able to move to more complex games. Currently the games she likes are:
Minecraft (creative mode only right now :p)
Uncharted Series
Walking Dead Game
Heavy Rain
Mario Kart
Shes not super good at the games yet though. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some games that I could try and get her interested in. Thanks

My wife loves Motorstorm Pacific Rift. It's a nice arcade racer with controls that are easy enough to learn, and she loves watching the epic crashes she can cause.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You can take all the time you want in those without having monsters trying to kill you. You could also play Portal 2 co-op together.

Kind of funny that you mention that cause she surprisingly doesn't like them :pCommanderShiro wrote:She might like the Portal games.

Funny XD She might not wanna play Dead Space but it wouldn't surprise me if she'd like watching me play it.
She also seems to like games with really good stories. Probably the reason she likes Heavy Rain so much hahaEdited on Feb 8, 2013 8:00 am GMT Edited 2 total times.[QUOTE="BattleSpectre"][QUOTE="leafgreensp"] Little Big Planet.

Believe it or not, women seem to like "Tiger Woods" a lot once they get into it. There's a lot to love about those games, even if you've never been into golf before... I know it soulds odd, but it's true.

I found women like fighting games if they are "good" at them.
(this means buy Soul Calibur 4 and let her win to make her feel like she is good)
Soul Calibur will soften her up to more complex games too.

Journey - Everyone should play this, tbh. Its also very easy and is more about the atmosphere and adventure. There isn't actually any combat in it at all - very beautiful game.
Tomb Raider - I believe theres a 3 game bundle out now. If she likes Uncharted for the puzzles and the story, she'll probably enjoy the TR series.
LBP2 - Lots of chances to experience highly creative levels or start making her own.
Skyrim - for a taste of a more open RPG, though less focused story as a result. With the DLCs finally releasing now over next few weeks it might be a good time to try get her interested, if she likes vampires and/or werewolves in general you can inform her you can become them ingame, or play as a giant humanoid cat person lol.
Kingdoms of Amalur - Another RPG, loads of content and has a very forgiving lower difficulty setting so the combat shouldn't be offputting. Artstyle is that kinda fable/cartoony like kind, I forget the term they use to describe it atm. This game has a very MMO style wold, with each zone seperated by 'corridors' but the zones themselves are quite open and very varied. So you could also use this to perhaps spark an interest in playing MMOs on PC with you, if you play any.

This is some truth... Chicks DO dig CoD. I have several girls/women in my clan, and CoD BLOPs was their first gaming experience. Now they're on playing it every DAY.
