They don't even notice the problem and argue we're just bad losers. I get that from my girlfriend a lot - she just loves to tease me every time I'm losing. But maybe there's a gamer in there, somewhere - she is addicted to Mario World now!  |
They do like that. My wife beats me in Singstar all the time. Not that that has anything to do with skilled gaming. It was a whole lot worse when my sister in law took out me, and two friends and my brother all at Soul Calibur 2 for the Dreamcast, she never plays anything and I had already beat the game, and it was sad, really. And she still likes to bring it up. she'll be like, "Hey remember that game I beat all you guys in? What's it called?" I'm like if your going to brag you should at least remember the name of the game.
Anyway I find casual gamers/nongamers also like a shallow gameplay experience. My wife loves that in Sing star every song is unlocked upfront and there is no earning money to buy new stuff and lockable content, of course i'm like, "What?" That my whole reason for playing games, to unlock crap!!! I played Tekken Dark Ressurection for a billion hours to unlock everyone's extra clothes. Same with Hot shots golf, I don't know how you don't like that. But I think it's a commitment thing, the game screams commitment where they just want something simple they can jump in and out of.
