|
 |
My girlfriend has accepted that we should start playing a game togheter tonight. She has tried racing-games and fps but i think they are all to fast-paced for her. So i think an adventure-game would be fine the best for her/us.
Then, what game would we try to play togheter. I haven't ever played grim fandango, maybe that would be a good one? But it seems odd to start a 8 year old game, i guess there should be something never/better to play with?
Can anyone recommend a not so fast paced game with a good story that we could play togheter?
Thank you!

Any game that will help you help her. It will let you both get closer or some shit like that.
Adventure games are somewhat good... but they can get frustrating. And when a person is stressed, i know from experience, a little nullifying sound will make them go ape shit on your face.
Try first person shooter that allow coop.
Serious Sam
Nolf
Etc. Heck... AVP if it had coop (i dunno) would be fantastic.
Racing games too. Just not with a steep learning curve. You might be a pro at gran turismo, but she's an old school gal with a thumb for nfs 3 hp. 
see where i'm gettin' at.
Gram Fandango is a great game to play together. But it can get tideous. Try games that involve both of you. I dunno. I would never want to introduce gaming to someone. I dunno.
FPS's are your best bet. First couple weeks are difficult. But after that she’ll be kicking your ass and having fun.
'Sides... why ae you gaming when your girl is over? I'd be out and about!!!
Gaming should be a reason to let the time pass quicker until the next time you see her. A fast forward if you will.
Just remember... games are meant to be fun...
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Oblivion is very complicated if you've never tried an ES game before.

I'd recommend Lego Star Wars, it's very simple and fairly easy. You can play multiplayer on one PC.

any strategy game like Warcraft III / Age of Empires / Diablo would be really simple to start learning on then you can move on to FPS/RPG/Adventure
or if you really insist on starting out with adventure you could probably go with tomb raider but from what i hear most of the tomb raider games suck

Discworld series do well if she likes fantasy series
Else try things like Broken Sword and the such (so point and click adventure)
if you own a PSX try the game "D", which is very scary and fun at the same time.
If she is more into games, basicly any RPG game will do nicely, if the setting is something she likes.

I have a lot of years using computers, I agree that Syberia is a very good game for a woman, because the main character is a woman and is lovely all time, is not a woman with big boobs, you know what I mean.
I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.
