My girlfriend...

Chips86 · #1 10-04-2009, 09:57 PM

So im sick of playing BoP to the sounds of tutting and bored sighs, so i decide to try and introduce my darling girlfriend to the game.

Bad idea.

I had to practically fight her for the controller all day. She really likes it. NOTE TO DEVS: Please try to make the next game less good, or, failing that, release some horrible dlc so that everytime you get a kill you see a baby rabbit die or something, to stop her playing..

But no seriously, ive done a good job and started her off on realistic, shes already completed the battle of britain, and actually not flying too badly at all =] shes even gonna get herself a copy for her xbox so we can play online together!!

A really good example of how broad the appeal of this game is, if only more people would try it and love it!! Anybody else have this problem? Maybe we could make a 'girlfriend league' and place bets on it. And make them bikini wrestle afterwards. Maybe.

lucky bastard. My wife wouldn't even touch the game- she's more in line with the "littlebigplanetleague"

Ive already sold 3 of my pals on the game. They are just waiting on having spare cash to buy it and a flight stick. As for the other half, er nope she hates flying games. Bubble bobble or Tetris is her kind of thing.

Well my girlfriend is currently hooked on the Yak-1 and Yak-3. She doesn't like the Yak-9T because of the crazy recoil of the 37mm. She also likes playing with the Il-4, which surprisingly she kicks some serious ass with. Even I was shocked when she was flying the Il-4!?

Yeah mines into the russki planes too, i had her flying the la7 earlier which she enjoyed.

Think that's bad? My wife only wants to play Lego games. I'm a SAD PANDA.

Only game worse than Lego is "The Golden Compass". Only a sick, twisted individual would allow their fiance' to stick that game in their 360.(LOL Jkerr)

Well, no one else has asked, so I guess it's up to me.

Does she have a sister?
