What game to play with my extrovert girlfriend?

[MrYen]

let everyone know how it goes.

Will do. This undertaking will stretch over quite some time I'm sure, and updates on our progress will probably be once or twice monthly.

Terraria...............................¥ Beaten in my opinion by Minecraft

Oh yeah? Well your opinion SUCKS! Terraria is a brilliant game, I have played both it and Minecraft and they are both good, but Terraria is definitely the more accessible game and is buttloads of fun!

Oh yeah? Well your opinion IS WELCOME! I agree that Terraria is a great game. But for this situation, Minecraft is better.

OFF (The kind of game when you asked yourself: "You know what Final Fantasy is missing? the madness of Suda51's Killer7)
Noitu Love 2
Snow Brothers for Sega Genesis (Get emulator. Also you can Co-Op this game)
Mischief Makers (Made by Treasure, the guys that made Gunstar Heroes, Ikaruga, Alien Soldier, Dynamite Headdy, Stretch Panic, Radiant Silvergun, and Sin And Punishment. They are the videogame equivalent of Gainax)

Spoiler: How japanese is this game? well..

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/MischiefMakers?from=Main.MischiefMakers
A robot maid riding a cat riding a missile, versus a member of an all-furry sentai who's riding a transforming mech? It doesn't get more Japanese than this!

Godhand (Want to know what was the last game of Clover Studio? the company that made Okami? and it takes itself less seriously than Devil May Cry and Bayonetta combined? here it is.)
IJI (Action RPG inspired by System Shock, Deus Ex and Metroid. Desconstruction of "Lone Warrior Against All Odds" trope in a brutal way)
Sacrifice (Single player campaign with lots of branching in its narrative that will make Mass Effect look tame in comparison. There is also local multiplayer)
Hyper Princess Pitch (not to be confused with the Nintendo game)

Spoiler: you may know the correct one after seeing this

If you want DnD, just play Planescape: Torment.

Then, we have 2 "So Bad its Good" kind of games like:
MDK 2 (Made by SHINY, the makers of Sacrifice, Earthworm Jim, and Messiah. Published by Bioware)
Deadly Premonition (Twin Peaks: The Videogame)

If THAT doesn't send your girlfriend into a sugar rush, then nothing will EVER.

Borderlands 2 would actually be a pretty good choice. It's fun, it has humor, it has great style, and a pretty great story too.

Topic update. Will add this post to the original post.

[NEW SUGGESTIONS]

Sacrifice ..........................................¥ Certainly worth a playthrough, will check multiplayer

Borderlands 2................................¥ Could be worth a shot, the endless box opening takes me out of it tho

OFF....................................................¥ Gameplay unsuitable, hard to share the experience
Noitu Love 2 ..................................¥ Too simple in scope, hard to share the experience
Snow Brothers (co-op)...............¥ Looks good but too simple in scope
Mischief Makers...........................¥ Looks good but too simple in scope
Godhand .........................................¥ Gameplay unsuitable (Solo male-protagonist beat-em-up grind)
IJI........................................................¥ Gameplay unsuitable, hard to share the experience
Hyper Princess Pitch..................¥ Looks good but too simple in scope, hard to share the experience
Planescape: Torment..................¥ Tragically, Gameplay unsuitable, hard to share the experience
MDK 2...............................................¥ Gameplay unsuitable, hard to share the experience
Deadly Premonition....................¥ Gameplay unsuitable, hard to share the experience

Thank you very much for your input!

I mean start with something easy. Also you definitely want it to be cooperative. I would say maybe portal 2, but non gamers are generally a little bit slow to pick up first person games. Someone sayd Fable. That might be a good choice.

Orcs Must Die!2 maybe?

A male protagonist and a female protagonist, and it's not the type of Co-op game that gets one player angry at the other.
