My gf is bad at video games and gets frustrated and mad whenever she gets her ass kicked.

If it's a single player game she'll just give up if it's too hard or lower the difficulty (she refuses to play on easy usually).

But if it's a multiplayer game, and especially when myself or somebody else is facing her, she gets really buttmad and goes into a rant about how she sucks at videogames and gives up forever (not really though).

Wat do?
>inb4 tell her to git gud
I tried that.

fucking normie

Play a co-op game, be her support. You got a bunch of games that do this, whether it's online games like Tf2 or overwatch where you can be her healer, keeping her alive longer, or games like RE series or Borderlands.

Wishing you luck

But I pretty much can't because she's so bad.

Sounds like she is trying to get attention, or a rise out of you. Maybe try sitting closer to her while she plays, and/or try to keep her calm with words of encouragement while she plays.
>>
Just remind her that she is a woman so is incapable of putting in the effort required to be good at something. Not her fault, just how it is.
>>
>>341965803
Thanks, we played through the Halo games together which she really loved. She likes Borderlands a lot, but she refused to do sidequests which made us pretty underleveled for a lot of the bossfights and I ended up quitting because honestly, I grew to hate Borderlands. If we're to play co-op it has to be splitscreen because she doesn't have any consoles or a computer that can run anything so that removes a lot of games, especially recent ones.
>>341966026
She actually prefers to play by herself if its single player because she's self conscious about how bad she is. I encourage her as much as I can though.

If there's one thing I learned from marriage dude it's that if your girl sucks at games don't force it on them. I tried everything to get my wife to enjoy vidya like me from co-op to single player but she gets frustrated and just flat out pissed like as if I'm judging her or something for being bad when I'm not.
Just let it be man some chicks ain't good at games and it's that simple

Ask your wifes boyfriend, maybe he can help out?
>>
>>341966327
Dude, I don't force it at all. She really likes vidya and really wants to be good at it.

>really likes vidya
>doesn't own a gaming pc or any consoles

????

>>341966807
Wow its almost like she's a 20 something casual who browses the internet.
>>
introduce her to turnbased games and see if they are more her speed

that shit needs less hand eye coordination
>>
>>341965580
Just let her win, try not to make it too obvious, fighting games are generally the best games to let people win at because shit people go crazy and forget about what the other player is doing and just constantly mash buttons.
>>
>>341966914
I'll try this. Unfortunately she cares too much about graphics so finding one that suits her might be difficult. Since there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of recent ones.
>>341966938
I do this, but it gets really tiring and she can almost always tell. Plus she'll regularly want to play ganes with our friends, then their is nothing I can do.
>>
>>341966903
So when you say she likes vidya, she likes facebook shit?
>>
>>341967346
Not at all. I mean she browses tumblr and youtube and gets into fandoms based on the art and successful marketing.
She fucking loves Overwatch for example despite rarely playing it.
>>
>>341966253
Just try to look for more co-op splitscreen games, like the recent Mario games. Also, try to keep your eye on games that aren't as hardcore such as Pokémon

There's nothing to do. She needs to keep playing and practicing.

Ther's no easy way out. She didn't grow up with videogames like I assume you did.
>>
>>341967906
How is that bait? I wanna fuck and experience meaningful romantic relationships. Why would I let /v/ influence that? You're gonna have to make compromises somewhere, anon.

>>341968306
Yeah, I keep telling her that...

Well yeah. However, I can't even tell you how long it might take or anything like that.

Me and my ex also played video games together, but she was so shit a videogames she literally couldn't play anything but Turn Based JRPGs, mainly Pokemon and the SMT series, or action games that literally played themselves like Kingdom Hearts.

Perhaps she needs to find her Genre of entry instead of tossing into competitive games. When in doubt, make your girlfriend play Persona 3 Portable.

I'm not mad.

Tell her you don't want to play games with her because she's fucking annoying

Play resistance 1/2, the gameplay was solid with coop campaign. If you emulate, you could try ico and get a completed save file for 2 player mode although you lose out of the waifu ai experience which blew my mind at the time. Portal 2, its hard to lose at puzzle games.
