Yeah, this is what usually happens with me and mine. Like, they actually say they enjoy watching but prefer not to play.ColdStorage said:
my and my partner are currently playing through the Gears of War campaigns - I try and back her up whilst she goes out in front, because I've a lot more experience with console shooters and she's always had problems with the controls, so if I was to run ahead there wouldn't be anything left. She often helps me out when it comes to slower, more RPG-ish games because I'm usually not very good at them. She also wants to get me into her rugby and football games but I'm just not really interested. Annoyingly, before my PC broke and started sucking up money, we were going to buy a second PC so we could play games like TF2 and L4D together.
...wow, really? I'm so glad that things worked out for you two!AlisonPrime said:

My beloved one and me, we usually just play classics on SNES, Gameboy or Wii-games together.
She, being similar to me in sometimes scary ways, just hasnt the patience to get into new kinds of gaming. If i am not flashed and excited from the first second on, i experience the same.
But if i can get some controllers for my PC i probably will get her with Marvel Ultimate Alliance, its simple,co-op, and it features X-Men and Fantastic 4. My girl loves her X-men.

Well, there was a lot of vodka and peyote involved, so my memory of the events in question is dubious at best.khaimera said:
I'm not too sure about your other half, but I have the feeling my girlfriend watches me play just to take part in my hobby because she's never ever had an interest in gaming and never touched a controller, which is very sweet.badgersprite said:
My girlfriend plays a bit, not as much as me though.
She liked Oblivion, and it is hilarious to watch her.
>Walks into store
>Accidently steals something
>People her angry and tell her to leave
>Guards pursue her
>She pays fine and guard says "I was hoping you would resist arrest"
>She does not understand what will happend when she resist arrest.
>She reloads the game and choose resist arrest.
>Guards kill her.
I was laughing so much.

Whilst I love my boyfriend ever-oh-so-much, he doesn't half annoy me over certain things. Gaming being one of them. He's a terrible "backseat driver" kind of person... That's whether we play co-op (rarely, as I tend to prefer RPGs anyhow) or if he's watching me play a game solo. I've been known to quit playing because he winds me up so much telling me what/how to play certain things cause he can't just sit and watch, he has to try and "help".
So we don't tend to play together all that often. Rather be doing other things with him anyway!
