Girlfriend is running to the end of Dragon age and just polished off mass effect and mass effect 2.

Any recommendations on games she may like?
She tried Bioshock but the game scared the fluff out of her.
her reflexes arnt good enough to keep up with a fast paced shooter and im trying to keep her away from the sims as much as possible.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

World of Warcraft has a pretty good social dynamic to it, she might like that.

If she didn't like Bioshock because it was scary, she should go with Dead Space 2

she may just like killing floor or left 4 dead. They both used to be my favorite games before i get carpal tunnel syndrome and now i havent played any game for almost 2 years.

If she wants to try either of them i can pass u my steam account, i have no use for it atm besides chatting with 2 friends lol.

Im having a hell of a time getting FF7 to work properly with windows 7 64bit. Which of the newer FF were decent? I havnt played since 7 so i have no idea if any of the newer ones were good.

I got her to watch the trailer and she told me to fluff myself so thats a no go.

We are trying it this weekend as a trial to see if we both like it.
Personally wasnt my type of game when it first came out and i had no interest in it but i figure ill give it another try.

With a serious suggestion, what about anything from the Hereos of Might and magic series? I know it's an older game but it's still great

HoMM 3, 4, or 5 would be the best

Baldur's Gate I and II are really good games. Made by the same people that did Dragon Age and Mass Effect.

HAR, every girl i have talked to outside this thread has recommended Assassins creed. Say the story line is good and the gameplay is fun.

Guuess i might make that the next game for her and she what she thinks.

Crysis was a ton of fun, even though it's a little older now it might run on more medium hardware; and it's not faced paced?

But yea, SC2 is awesome; oh also Civ5, my gf likes that, it's much better now that they patched most of the bugs...

Finally did the signature thing.

Galandy, I highly recommend The Witcher.

It's a great singleplayer RPG, on par with Mass Effect/ Dragon Age.

You can get it on steam for a good price, and The Witcher 2 is almost out for release.

DOA 2 next week. I feel some sick days coming on.

If you had ps3 id say heavy rain my gf loved that game. They were supposed to port it to PC eventually.

Jade Empire is a must play if she liked those games.

If you are just trying to be ride of her and have all her time sucked away get her a game boy and make her play Pokemon. That way she can play while on the go doing all those important womanly things like Grocery Shopping, Laundry and ironing.

I'll second Baldurs Gate 2 and KOTOR. Neverwinter Nights was also decent, but not of the same caliber as the other games.

For the final fantasy games, FFX was the best one of those after 7. I think FFX is actually better than 7. Only for PS2 though...

Fallout 3 could be a pretty good idea as well. The "VATS" targeting system makes you not have to be twitchy to kill stuff...

Go classic get her The Orange Box. Portal won't take long but is addictive, and if she liked Mass Effect(2) then there is the Half-Life Episodes. They are scary without being completely terrifying, not so fast that you can't win, auto-save and checkpoints if you die, and a puzzler's elements to boot. And if she need to head hunt, TF2 is one of the most inventive online shooters out there.

too old?

get here on one of the flash gaming sites, i routinely lose days of my time with all the great flash games out there. an over-looked medium in my book.

Dude your problems are over. Get her off the computer and on the bed. I recommend Massage for Lovers. Its a great book and with it will only leave you a little time for Earth. Sounds like you guys spend too much time on computer already. Get the book, a bottle of good massage oil, and a case of condoms. Your problems are over. You will both be happier. Good luck.

We spend a chunk of the night on the computer yes, however we also take an hour long walk nightly.

Sex isnt a problem in our relationship and we get by just fine :P
Also, She is in school for massage therapy to become some sort of RMA or RMT or somthing with an R. She likes to dress up and things stay quite interesting.

That is why I asked for game rcommendations because our RL game is quite fun and seem do be doing just fine finding new and exciting things. Its the computer games I needed recommendations on.

Also, whhy the hell would i ever take relationship/Sex advice from EE members? Thats like signing a sexual suicide note.
