LOL... you girls certainly don't mince words!  Gunning guys down is sorta off topic methinks.

My girlfriend (she's reaperred59 on PC) plays on occasion. She's PC master race, but I prefer being a console peasant. But she plays The Sims and Skyrim more than she does ME3.

We tried to play together once, we were going to be a male quarian and female quarian duo and fight the geth, which sounds really dorky in retrospect. But we've got a mid-range gaming PC and two terrible laptops and neither of the laptops could handle it without crashing a lot so we gave up on it.

 

Jesus, what a pair of turbonerds

Lol @ the avatar.

My wife loathes Mass Effect and calls it the bane of her existence. Lol, probably not a good thing. It's the reason I have to get up at 4am and play if I want a decent chunk of time online. I was thrilled when we decided to buy a second TV.

 

She's more of an individual gamer - loves GTA5 whereas I wouldn't play that crap if you forced me to.

Yep.  Quality vs. quantity, yo.  I think a lot of us grill gamers over a certain age (say, old enough to remember when gaming wasn't marketed to guys specifically) are a bit picky about out gaming boyfriend types.  RepairedToaster is a one of a kind. 

Yup, I'd be in definitely in that age range, being 48 lol..... I require a grown up and someone who is more than a gamer, tbh...  

[Jenova65]

My gf plays sometimes, got her to get the trilogy

I attempted  to get my ex into it.... his response was it was ''Too much talkie-talkie and not enough shooty-shooty'' So yeah.... ofc he really wants to play now *suspects motives*

I know some lovely gaming men.... how good looking are you?

I'm curious to know what the different gaming boyfriend types are?

 

I think I should set up a temporary burns unit after you're through breaking all dem lil hearts girl. Goddamn. 

 

There's an abundance of male gamers on ME3 so there's no reason not to be picky, especially if you have youth and player skillz on your side.

Well..... that is a loaded question.... but for me, someone who complain that ME is too talkie-talkie and not enough shooty-shooty would be the kind of gaming BF that isn't really going to be on the same wavelength as me  

(I should point out, that after 15 years there was a lot more to it than gaming, I am making light of it here, lol)

There's the gamer boyfriend who thinks he wants a gamer girlfriend and then gets ticked when you're actually, you know, playing the game (similar in type to the girlfriend who is drawn to gamer nerdiness until they actually move in together, then she hides all of his D20s).  I don't mean when you're playing so much you have no life; of course a significant other would find that annoying.  I mean when he just wants a gamer barbie blow up doll. Basically a chick gamer is such a novelty that they don't see the chick just the concept (think trophy wife). 

 

There's the gamer boyfriend who is the epitome of the stereotype of the middle aged nerd in his parents' basement.  These are fewer and further between but they're out there. 

 

There's the gamer boyfriend who thinks it's cute that you play and expects you to suck.  He is often the same as my first example but not always.  He will get ticked if you outscore him; seriously, legitimately ticked.

 

Basically it's all of the regular kinds of bad (and good) significant others only with gaming attached to it.  Heard a couple playing Titanfall together today.  Chick was a real piece of work... Clearly the gamer girlfriend didn't work out so well for that particular dude.

Haha

I hope my gf will pick up on ME1 and eventually get through all 3 games, she likes the MP of 3 a lot. I keep telling her to pick up on the SP of the 3 so she will see how amazing it is to progress through all of them. I've taught her well.

Gosh

 

Having a think about this; there have been comments from other female gamers about another stereotype out there which is the "White Knight" syndrome. Where a male gamer is continually to leaping in front of you to protect you from the enemy, regardless of wherever you have the situation in hand or not.

What about using the gf as right hand advantage?

[millahnna]

Can't sat that any of my nerd boyfriends have been that way in game (RepairedToaster might for the lulz if we played in game together) but I've run into it once or twice in game from randoms.  Whether it's hilariously goofy or obnoxious is inversely proportional to the e-peen expressed while engaging in said behavior. 

[FireRider100]

So, the exact opposite of the white knight 

It seems dishonorable to use your gf as a shield. What next? Hoping that she goes down in front of you just to make yourself feel better when you revive her.

Hoping that she would go down on me, hmmmmm.........................

I was waiting for ME when it first came out... I can honestly it was my most anticipated game ever.... hence my purchasing the CEs and normal surplus copies of the game (as well as all three games on Xbox, PC and PS3) just because.... you know... just because! Also CEs of the guides...

You said gosh without a hint of irony.... I approve  

That would really annoy me, unless he was REALLY hot and I was nearly dead... then it's only polite anyway...

[Creator Limbs]

Aaand, this topic is moot now.

Gamer boyfriend/girlfriend stereotypes? Please.

[RogueState]

Hahaha.... well I'm not saying there aren't.... offers.... but I am nevertheless single and lacking some male gaming company lol..... 

 

Errrrrrrrrmmmmmm *coughs* I know I'm not the butchest thing out there but still, I'm a guy, I think! *sniffs*

Ah.............. I was hoping you wouldn't notice that lmao.... you count, ofc you count.... kind of... but when we are both doing the same dreamy sighs over Kaidan's butt it's not really the same... you know  

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav yoooooooooooooou!

Eh, would it seem dishonorable if he was a squishy Salarian and she was a tanky Krogan?

 

They aren't my boyfriends, but there are a few men I regularly play with who have a love of the squishy kits and make regular use of my tankier ones. Specifically dodging back behind me so that *I* eat that Banshee warp ball to the face instead of them. 

 

I kinda like it, though. I enjoy being the "protector", so I don't mind tanking the DOT so that their Drell/Salarian/Whatever doesn't have to. LOL

i think my avatar sums up what i think of this topic. incidentally, my previous one was also relevant.
