I get where she's coming from. I myself am not a fan of those sex mini games as they are very uncomfortable if there's someone else in the room. Kids end up playing these games you know so.....

she had no right to hide the game though. She should have just left the room and not watched you play it.


I completely agree, but she isn't like that (read my edit in the OP. She finds things like that amusing). So I didn't think anything about it playing it in front of her.

I have told her that. But I told her that a 30 second part of a game isn't anything to get bent out of shape over. And I have admitted that it's a silly part of the game and if it had no bearing on things I wouldn't play it.

As for raising my voice, I've had a lot of practice with these types of things with my mom so I have been extremely calm.

Well then I don't know what to tell you. Don't bother her about it for the rest of the day, though, I doubt that'll raise your chances of getting it back.

Edit: Play it when you have a lunch break or something.

This is why Nintendo won't add achievements to their platforms.

This is my second run through and if it weren't for the trophy I would have skipped that part. However, I would still play this section during my first run through. Though I find the minigame silly I would still play it just because the red orbs it gives you the first time you beat it. The oppertunity cost is in favor of playing the minigame once

Sounds like you guys need to learn how to compromise...



There really is no way to comprimise in this situation though. One suggestion she made was to not play it since it's optional to beat the game... but I told her it isn't optional to 100% the game. Then she said just don't play it when she is there. Problem is I leave for school at 7am and get back past 7pm... her school is 10am to 3pm. I'm home when she is all the time and it was my first time playing a game in over a month since I finally had free time... there is no guarentee that I will have any free time in the near future and when I do there is no guarentee she wont be home. It's literally over a part of the game that last 30 seconds and then it's gore and violence (which she has no problem with)


So you are saying that at no point in time is there 30 seconds that you are home and your wife isnt? She never needs to run to store without you?  Sounds like she was willing to compromise and you were not...

I said nothing of the sort. I said there is no guarentee that at the point in time that I am free to play a video game that she will not be home. As for running to the store we do all the shopping together. The only time she is not here and I am is when she is at work... which is only 12hours a week and not all her shifts are when I'm home. And if they are I drop her off and pick her up... but here is the thing... I'm usually studying while she is at work anyway.

So the compromise can't be I will only play when she isn't there because that isn't a compromise. That is her straight up getting her way because if I do get free time and she is home that means I can't play anyway (which is usually the case)

Wow! I'm agreeing with something VGKing have to say for once.

Maybe you and your wife should do the scene in real life - that'll get you a real trophy I swear!



I don't think she would go for it. It involves like 10 women!!! I am not nearly the man Kratos is

This is the ultimate in typical female hypocrisy.

While"Fifty Shades" is read openly all over the country, we're supposed to feel ashamed by a relatively inocuous sex scene in a game.

It's one rule for them and another rule for us.

She will respect you more in the long run if you stick to your principles. But you could just play it when she's out/asleep.



Too much planning, and you'll never get anything done.

maybe just have a friend do it? Or maybe just do it when shes not around, sounds silly I know but it might be worth it. I'd imagine there's some tension between you two still

Why on earth would you post this here? You already know your side of the story and no one here is actually going to give you hers. Unless you seriously expect a comment saying "I think God of War is sexist and should be condemned for it" on a video game forum. (Actually, I might, but I'm too tired to argue something like that right now.)

I don't know if you're being unreasonable or she is, but I'd think that you two would know how to come to a compromise or one of you would have learned to submit in these kind of situations considering you're married.


It doesnt look like he's asking for an opposing argument. He's just sharing a story that others may find interesting. If the OP does want something from us, I would assume it's for us to relate a similar story.

OT: Precisely why I don't have a girlfriend.
