Pic related was my first Total War, mum bought it for me because it said on the box that it was not a game for cowards. Little did she know I am a huge coward.

I had my mom play baba is you. She has yet to wrap her head around how the text blocks work.
my dad only ever got into Myst, Wolf3d, and Micro Machines on the Sega Mega Drive, he always said other games had too many buttons
still miss how competitive he'd get about micro machines
dude used to plan weekends for us that would feature a "micro machines challenge" at some point
i envy you
my mother only drank and watched television and would yell at me every time i tried to tell her something
shut up and play your games!
the tv is on, be quiet!
I can beat your mom at bust-a-nut
your mother is a cunt.
Lucky you, mine beat the shit out of me, locked my in a room she'd removed everything but the bed from for weeks at a time and gave the playstation 1 my grandmother gave me to my younger brother.
Why's it always 1 kid that cops it.
did your lil bro like you at least?
For years he was like my best mate, I'm only 2 years older than him.
when I was 22 I pulled my mum up on all her shit and no longer had anything to do with her, he stopped talking to me because I "Broke mums heart", it's actually because she let him live with her rent free and never hassled him about his coke habit and she was using him to try and get back into my life.
Sounds like your better off
I am, but i do miss that ginger prick, i always had his back, still do if needed me.
stop being such a tryhard and let your old man win a few
>Be me
>Always watch my dad playing half life 1
>Gives all the monsters shit names for fun
>Shits and giggles all the time
>Finally get second computer
>Red alert and warcraft 1v1 every evening
>Wrecks me everytime, still alot of fun with the banter
Why did we stop playing dad?
The same reason you'll stop playing vidya with your kids, they'll get way fucking better at it than you.
We all gotta click the quit game button someday, user.
>11 years old, playing Parasite Eve 2 with my dad
>we get stuck on a computer that requires a password, close to the end of the game
>we were stuck on it for maybe a week, ESL and 11 years old means i am the only one able to find out the password and even then it's not gonna be easy
>finally crack the password after a whole week of running around killing respawning monsters around a huge area because we didn't know what else to do
>crack it, save game, tell my dad i solved it and go to school
>come back from school in the evening
>dad beat the fucking game without me
Meh might be true. I wrecked by the time we got Rome 1.
Hahahah what a fucker.
I have a feeling you threw a tantrum afterwards.
Playing Pikmin 3 with my mom and getting all the platinum medals in mission mode with her. She also played the story mode in her own, found it pretty challenging but managed to beat it.
She's the one that gave me my passion for video games (big mistake). I was always impressed when I loaded her save file in Banjo Kazooie or Mario 64 and saw how far she was in the game.
We also played Tropical Freeze a lot even though it got a little too hard for her near the end of the game. Hoping to play Luigi Mansion coop with her next.
>the only time playing vidya with my dad
>play Fifa 2002 or something
>he tells me there's too many buttons to push
>throws away the controller and never plays with me again
>Use to play SF4 with my dad when I was 10 (can't believe that game is over 10 years old now)
>We brought the game used and didn't come with a manual so we didn't know special moves, combos, ultimates, etc. exists
>It's literally a game of happy slaps where we punch and kick each other to death
>We finished every character's story/arcade mode by just punching, kicking and throwing the opponents to death
>Because my dad played the game a lot more than I did he kicked my ass all the time with just dhalsim stretchy arms
>One day, I discovered there's a tutorial mode and learned there are special moves
>Beaten my dad with hadokens, ultimates and basic combos too point he got frustrated and he just plays tekken from now on
I used to always play pokemon puzzle and tetris sphere with mum she'd always slaughter me at tetris sphere. To this day I love pokemon puzzle and it or catherine are my favorite puzzle game.
cute :)
>father watches me play uncharted 2 because he likes india johns
>we talk about how ridicules some of the temples are since no ancient civilization could have ever build it
>have fun time trying out all the different interactions at the tibet village
>pretty comfy
>he wants to try but can´t figure out how to move and look at the same time
>so I end up playing the rest of the day while he watches
fun times
Wow, you had it easy. Mine killed me.

My parents literally never played or even tried to understand video games.
this one comes in 2 parts
>mom plays RE:CVX on game cube and i watched
>I was probably 8 or 9 at the time
>we get to the cut scene with the Nosferatu is first seen
>it moans at Clair
>me: great, another monster...
>Mom: what? no That's Clare's brother
>me: but it made monster noises...
>Mom: he had a thing on his throat, didn't you see it? just wait, you'll see
>we get to the part where we fight the boss and we see the Nosferatu walk up to Clair
>Mom: SEE? i told you that's-
>the monster's bug leg things shoot out of it's back
>Me:...i don't think that's her brother...
That's pretty funny.
>Play GTA 3 with lil bro
>Beating a hooker to death in an alley
>Mom walks in
Oops
Put me in the reddit screencap too!
part 2:
>she actually gets to the boss and she doesn't use the sniper rifle she literally just picked up.
>i watch her try to fight this thing 3 times with a shot gun,
>she keeps getting poisoned and slapped around by the Nosferatu's legs.
>she eventually rage quits, my grandpa came over anyways so she goes to talk with him for a bit.
>while the adults where talking i pick up the controller and actually use the sniper rifle
>beat the boss on my first try
>I pause the game and wait for my grandpa to go.
>as he's leaving i wish him good bye and then walk up to my mom
>me: i beat him
>Mom: what?
>me: i beat him
>she walks over to the game, and un pauses it to see its corps.
>Mom:oh...
>she continues playing as though nothing happened
My mom used to play spyro, crash bandicoot, Mario games, and my dad would play games like nightmare creatures, tomb raider and the old alien franchise games. they both kinda stopped once we got a ps2. I loved watching my dad play scary games like nightmare creatures and aliens, I tried them but the old ps1 graphics made shit terrifying to me so I could never really progress but I was comfy playing Pokémon yellow while he beat them.
All I remember is seeing my dad playing DOOM on Windows 98, and it was a lava level. We never played video games that often even though he was a pretty big gamer as I was still growing up. He had an NES and the SNES but I think we only got an N64 because I was already hooked.
>mum playing Oblivion
>meets the first zombie in the tutorial dungeon
>adjusts her glasses
>checks the controller
>double-checks controller
>frowns
>leans over
>shuts down PS3
>"This is boring, user"
>MFW she's right
My dad would never play anything with me as a kid except Street of Rage, in which he always found that beating people with pipes was hilarious.
this reminds me that i have to finish this game
how the fuck do i manipulate that moving fortress in the mechanical world? i figured it'd be the levers on top of the elevator but whatever way i move them the fortress doesn't move when i go to the surface
HELP
My dad had played a Dreamcast at a conference once and was so impressed with the graphics he bought me one with soul calibur
Damn, it's threads like these that make me want to pick up Dark Alliance 2 again.
>used to play it all the time with my dad and my brother
>would repeat the disarm trap sound with my brother all the time
>dad would always play drizzt if he was available, even if we were playing on fresh characters
GOOD times.
Same I wish they like vidya it would be something to bond with, I tried getting mum into Wii sports (lol) but she didn't care sadly.
There's a fortress rotation simulator in one of the brother's rooms that you can practice on. Pay attention to the sounds
>Still play CoD 4 with my dad and our clan from time to time
Nothing better than talking shit to some scrubs with your dad.
>play COD:WaW Nazi Zombie with dad. Both of us always get the Ma Deuce and MG42. Set up a killing zone upstairs while zombie pile up
>good times
>also played the co-op campaign with my then 11 years old sister once after she whined and beg to do it.
>lil sis starts knifing surrendering Nazis during muh warcrime feels scenes.
>didn't listen to any dialog and just want to shoot and kill stuff
>never really looked at her the same after that.
>dad plays forza motorsport
>he's not bad at it
>"hey son you wanna race against your old man a bit?"
>sure
>win a few, lose a few
>had great time
>be my dad
>only play World of Tanks anymore
>still pissed at Valve for not making another Half-Life game
My father passed away when I was very young
One of the only memories I have of him was watching him play Descent saying that one of his friends helped create the game
>That's pretty funny.
>Mom was an OG gamer
>She played Castle Wolfenstein when it came out, and played the first 4 Leisure Suit Larry games, to name the few that she's mentioned.
>Watched her play Myst when I was like 3
>When I played Diablo, I asked her for help when I couldn't get through a boss. I still remember how she cheesed the Butcher.
>Absolutely loved the Assassin's creed games, playing up to 4. (She always complained that they started turning into walking simulators, and said that after Ezio it dropped in quality)
>Played the crap out of Dishonored when it came out.
>Now she plays the long dark all the time
She's the reason why I got into games. Be this kind of parent to your kids, Yea Forums.
is your sister single?
>Dad always enjoyed watching me play games cause he thought I was good at them
>whenever I would get frustrated at any point of a game I'd always go find him and watch me play, and that the level was unfair
>he told me to take a breath and that I could do it
>I always cleared the level or event when he did that
He was gonna watch me play Last of Us recently cause it's a story game with a strong father connection, and I thought he'd like it or think it was cool. He died two months back. I still feel like my world is crumbling.
>brother playing turok tdh
>has been playing games all day
>dad says it's his turn to play a game
>dad has never played a game in his life
>brother, being the video game addict he is, gets mad and refuses
>dad hits the reset button and takes away the controller
>spends the next 10 minutes running into the water near the beginning while my brother is freaking out yelling at him to grab the pistol
>dad doesn't understand the controls but doesn't care just keeps diving underwater
>brother is seething to the point of tears
>dad looks at me and laughs
Based dad. Buy him a beer the next time you see him.
lol
My dad used to play Super Mario Kart with me.
We bonded pretty well over it.
>Dad introduces me to vidya through atari
>Hey son play this game
>Kicks my ass in Galaga
>Years later
>Still can't beat his high score
>He broke his pb the other day
He doesn't drink.
He also once fed my brother dog food.
>been playing adventure games as kid w mom
>She bought every new title and I always made her promise to not progress when I was at school
>Secret Files 2 comes out, 1 had fun story so we were hyped
>It's not as good, riddles are kinda dumb
>We get to the part where you're supposed to wreck some dude's car by placing stone on hand of a clock and waiting for it to fall off, then you fix it with nailpaint so he can reward you
>We were stuck for hours, mom didn't want to cheat and look it up or just try everything because there must be a logical solution
>When we figured it out mom snapped and said she's never gonna play those stupid games ever again
It's still the only time I saw my mom lose it, she haven't touched adventure games ever since. I still like to remind her of it, preferably around other people
So did you suck his dick after or what?
Remember his advice, take a deep breath and you will get through this.
>mom played heretic religiously
>dad played doom religiously
Nice.
>mom played azurik hardcore
>wouldn’t feed us unless we complained enough
>played red orchestra 2 with my dad but he stopped since the player count dropped
>That's pretty funny
Yea Forums isnt your diary, fag
you'll be fine user, don't worry
Alright now get to the part where he unzips his pants
Sorry for your loss. Keep your head up
Thanks user, his death made me want to start going back to all the games I never finished or played and clear them out, basically to honor him. I'll proceed to stop using this as a diary now.
>ask Dad to get me this as a kid because of graph goodics
>only his computer was strong enough to play it (he also had a CD-ROM drive)
>he watches me play it
>realizes it's some kind of puzzle game
>I have no idea wtf is going on
>some time later catch dad playing it
>became his thing, every now and then he would just play it for 30 mins or so
>always fucking playing it and jotting down notes
>like two years later "Man, that Myst was a good game!"
>"You beat it?"
>"Yeah [tells me the endings]"
>holy shit dad's a genius
>Riven comes out
>surprise him with it one day
>he gets excited
>the cycle continues
>he dies before he can finish it.
>still refuse to play it myself
Good times.
Also when my dad was showing me how to connect to other peoples' computers to play Doom 2, we did a LAN match. Dooms were his favorite games. He was nearly unbeatable and I kept accusing him of cheating by using the better guns.
