[quote name='Macheezmo']I feel kinda lucky that my wife likes gaming. She mostly enjoys games with good stories (Mass Effect, Metal Gear, most RPGs), but she's also content to just watch me play. I almost never hear "let's watch tv", but "you should play something." She's also very supportive of me collecting old school games, often helping me yard sale and find them.[/QUOTE]
I don't know if it's an issue of cheesy writing that I'm willing to over look, or more to do with the "Uncanny Valley" from someone not used to staring at digital likenesses but whenever I'm playing games with serious plots and scenes, my wife always kills the mood by making a comment about how melodramatic it is, or something.
She nearly ruined MGS3 for me by constantly walking through the room and commenting on the love story aspects.
