My girlfriend (whos a non gamer) wants to play a game with me. I was thinking about the earthbound/mother series because its not a fast pace. Which one should i start with her earthbound (mother 2) or mother 3?
Any other games for a non gamer will be appreciated to
>games for a non gamer
Hollow Knight
Pikmin 2
Awesome game but it might be abot to hard for her. Last game she played was yoshi story and pokemon up to ruby and sapphire
Might give this a try actually
Here's a nice casual puzzle game for your gf user
Pick something that she's guaranteed to not lose at reach a failstate in or she'll drop it like a bag of hammers once you stop pushing her or she no longer sees clear enjoyment from you. And don't overestimate her. She likely has the capabilities of a 5-8 year old when it comes to games.
Earthbound might not land, a lot of stuff that's funny in EB is funny because it's different from other games and subverts expectations, if someone who doesn't play video games plays Earthbound they'll just find it weird, and boring and probably skip a lot of the flavor text or good NPCs.
Start off with something more standard like a Sonic game or Mario 3D World.
I first started playing Minecraft with my gf. She ended up being addicted to it for half a year. She asked to borrow my Switch last week and now shes playing through Xenoblade 2. Id say Minecraft is pretty good gateway game.
>She likely has the capabilities of a 5-8 year old when it comes to games.
I used to think people memed about this but I had a female roommate who was a """""""gamer""""""""" when in actuality she just bought games and didn't play them more than once.
>hyped up FF15 for ages, never even got to the halfway point
>plays Pokemon, but action replays it so she has 999 Rare Candies so she never has to train
>also put in 999 Master Balls so she can catch everything instantly without battling
>when she got to the Elite 4 she looked up their teams while she was playing so it was impossible to lose
She said she was interested in playing Splatoon 2, so I put her on the first level of the single player and she died and got mad enough to stop playing because she ignored the text and didn't use her special when the game told her to.
Well user, wouldn't it be more fun to play a 2 player game first, if she's a non gamer? Then if she's not having a great time with the game, she'll still have a nice time because you're both involved. Mario Kart is great for non gamers. But I'm assuming you've played 2 player games together and you're looking for single player games.
Animal crossing is a game I've had good luck introducing non gaming people to.
If you're looking for something more action oriented ratchet and clank is alright. My girlfriend likes resident evil 4, she recommends that as an intro to shooters because aiming and moving are two completely separate things.
I can post more if you're interested
Wife and I played Liar Princess and the Blind Prince
>talks to the opposite sex he must be from reddit
Dont be mad you figure it out one day
I actually played this with her before but she wants something with a story
Thanks for the advice user
>2 players
>one isn't much of a gamer
A mousou game. You complete objectives while she murders a shitton of enemies and feels accomplished.
Does she want a coop game or a singleplayer game
Pretty important distinction
unironically have sex
>I actually played this with her before but she wants something with a story
If you're thinking of playing something from the mother series, go with mother 3. There's more story elements and plot compared to the first two, and it's much more beginner friendly
Undertale?
Thats what i was thinking about with earthbound but shes watched me play abit and seemed interested but when you play it theres alot of grinding which why i thought of mother 3 which has less grinding in it
shes gonna hate that autistic shit just play zelda or mario or something dumbass
Rpgs in general are a tough recommend for non gamers. You run the risk of the grind just wearing them down. If you're gonna go either earthbound or mother 3, go mother 3.
Undertake might not be a bad choice just because the battles are more involved. The game does get difficult, but it has a decent difficulty curve
Resident evil 4 was my gf first game too. Unfortunately all she plays are resident evil games though.
>She likely has the capabilities of a 5-8 year old when it comes to games
This. People who don’t play games are really almost unimaginably bad at them. I had an ex who I tried to introduce portal to a long time ago, and even something that I thought would be incredibly simple like moving around proved to be an obstacle.
My advice is go real simple. If you have a switch, something like the new yoshi game. Something that’s comfy, and encourages exploration with simple controls.
Undertale
Fucking phone posting
We played mario kart on the switch before she liked it but i wanna find her some that she can beat so she can feel abit of accomplishment
That's an awful idea. Starting someone off with an slow methodical rpg will turn them off fast. Play something fun together, like mario kart or LBP. Something you can play TOGETHER.
Seconding LBP, had a non-gamer ex that loved that game.
my gf still hates vidya despite us being together for nearly 8 years desu.
>I had an ex who I tried to introduce portal to a long time ago, and even something that I thought would be incredibly simple like moving around proved to be an obstacle.
My wife prides herself on having played Doom, but can't get into any modern FPS titles due to controls relying on more than just arrow keys and the spacebar.
She's not too bad when it comes to Mario Kart, CTR, and Diddy Kong Racing, though.
I too recommend you skip RPGs for a long while. I still have flashbacks of trying to play Tales of Berseria with my gf.
HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU LOST? THERE ARE ONLY TWO DIRECTIONS YOU CAN GO
Earthbound, holy shit why even ask?
Mother 3 is not for babies
Play something like Stardew Valley.
Either way doesnt matter just not competitive
Thanks user
Not a big fan of undertale for some reason
Zelda might work but mario is to fast pace for her
Il give undertale another chance alot of people go on about that
Are you retarded? Earthbound is a great game but it's definitely not for a non-gamer. Why not something like Mario Galaxy or Mario Oddysey. Hell, Yoshi's Island would be perfect
mario odyssey, pokemon, minecraft, phoenix wright, any kirby game, mario kart, gangbeasts, overcooked, stardew valley, sonic mania
Animal Crossing; Specifically Gamecube one. No main motive, and the characters are cute.
Who murdered JFK? Who bombed the USS Liberty? Who bombed the Twin Towers?
I second this
We all know that one
W and the Saudis did
The CIA, probably at Johnson's behest the Joos were also involved, though I don't know how much
>the Joos
They were 100% involved, and the fact that you do your little jew boy defense of 'da joos' means nothing. Everyone on the entire planet wants you dead.
how about a game of sex
Try this game. It's pretty easy and good for a beginner
Whats animal crossing about i looked it up ages ago but couldnt find out what the gameplay was like or what it was about. Im kinda curious about it
OP, I played Firewatch and she loved it, then Life is Strange and we loved it, then The Walking Dead seasons 1-3 and she loved it. Try story heavy games like those first.
>bragging about your roastie who's probably cheating on you as we speak
Fuck off normalfag.
Look, I wanted to say it without spelling it. All my answers were honest, but not in the right order. EVERYBODY knows what happened with the USS Liberty, I don't have to out myself to acknowledge it.
I know about the calls sent out to, uh, chosen people, but beyond that and the massive advantage taken by them in the aftermath, all real evidence points to the Saudis including a massive cover up.
There was no real reason to believe that they were responsible for Kennedy aside from their taking advantage of the aftermath/LBJ just so happening to destroy our country until the official declassification of (((The Assassination))) documents.
Also, video games.
Monster Hunter world. Has plenty decent range of hard and easy fights to be fun for both of you. I guarantee your suggestions will be fun and a nice time but seriously won't ever see the end of the game. Plus monster Hunter is like a dress up game and girls live that shit.
tell her to play "get in the kitchen: shadows die twice".
This is unironically a way to get someone who's terrible at games besides button mashing or just flat out drunk/high to enjoy it and FEEL like they're doing something, they'll rarely run into a heavy opponent or a boss and need to do any specials or pay attention.
Incel detected
Fuck off, jew.
Post nudes if she's really your gf
no u
portal 2 co-op if possible, otherwise 2D is best.
Fuck off, jew.
>My girlfriend
Fuck off, normalfag.
no u
Fuck off back to plebbit and kill yourself normalfag
It's a life sim; you manage your town, collect stuff for your house, make friends with the locals.
Spyro is a chill game you can do at your own pace
Getting to the end of the game is pretty easy but there's a bunch of extra stuff she can do if she wants
Mother games aren't that slow. They're pretty well-paced and the silly characters and dialogue help keep you invested.
We play sims here and there
Havnt played spyro in ages had tones of fun with the series well ps1 series anyway. Might even still have it
Thats why i love the mother series
This is the perfect idea, I second this
The mother series is fantastic but seriously I have no idea what you think your non gaming girlfriend would enjoy it. It's not a game for non gamers, it just isn't
I don't know your gf but I feel like Earthbound is going to bounce between being too boring and too difficult for her. The game is quite good but she might not "get it" if she's never played any games you know?
Kirby is a pretty good choice.
>Got your mainline platform games
>Super Star / Kirby 64 / Robobot / Star Allies
>Got your sideline games
>Dream Course / Epic Yarn / Mass Attack
And there is always stuff like Arena, 100% completion if she wants to do that.
did you put a snapchat filter on spyro
also i just realised spyro has pyro in it because he breathes flames
Thanks user

>did you
No I just saved it
