Forums - Sony Discussion - My wife won't let me play God of War... Edited with interesting info

Tagged games:

So I was playing GoW:GoS trying to platnium it when my wife comes in the room as I'm getting to Sparta. She sees that and makes a comment about brothels and I say "That's funny because I'm about to go to one" since one of the trophies I need is beating the sex minigame 3 times in a row to get the item. She flips the fuck out and says I can't play it anymore because it makes women an object. I was shocked at this. I told her I'm a damn grown up and can make choices of what I will and will not play. I also told her that we are all mature adults here and can handle a sex scene. I then asked her if we need to get rid of 300/dirty harry or other movies that show titties and has sex scenes. She said it was different because it is a video game. I responded that it's just another medium for entertainment and you can't apply a rule to one and not the other. She has since taken the game and hid it somewhere.... I have made sure she knows that I will be purchasing the new God of War in March and I will not stop playing these games and if she is going to restrict me then we are going to have some problems.

Has this happened to anyone else?

*EDIT* - I have also pointed out she had no problem with things such as 50 shades of Grey. She read through the first book and thought it was poorly written and terrible so she wont read the other two but the concept was intriguing to her. (If people don't know what it is about I'll just say there is a part in the book that talks about anal fisting). I said the book was a lot more explicit, graphic and vulgar.

She has also read a play by the Greek Aristopheles which talked about anal gaping, whores, getting blow jobs from men, and a lot other (again) explicit, graphic and vulgar parts.

Your wife seems to be an immature person.Good that you´re not putting up with the bullshit.

You should get GTA5 and play that infront of her when it comes out. At least in God of War you don't beat the prostitute to death with a blunt instrument after you've had your way with her.



How old is she? 14? But then again, it's true that the game objectifies women... but that does not give her the right to take away the game from you like that.



Good for you standing you ground. You don't even see anything in those mini games compared to other Greek inspired shows like Spartacus.



I understand not liking the objectification of women, but then you can't really pick and choose which instances are offensive or not. Seems a bit unreasonable to me.



While this issue isn't so bad, someone who thinks like that will cause problems over and over in future.
