To hate that all the new xbox games seem to involve DP having virtual sex with another woman?

Loads of xbox games nowadays consist of a huge amount of violence- fine, DP is a grown man, it's not like DS is playing them. But what gets to me is the fact that he has to press buttons to make some stupid bint moan on the xbox so that he can pass that part of the game and move on to the next. Then women start doing a strip tease. So basically he has to bring some virtual woman off while she moans away.

If it's not on the xbox it's on PC games or internet games.

As if I don't feel flabby and yucky enough without size 0 bloody virtual women getting my fella to virtually shag them.

Which games??? DH has just got an x-box!

notnowbernard · 23/11/2008 12:53

Sorry you're feeling crap about yourself

Is dp on the console thing a lot?

Naive · 23/11/2008 12:54

Nah, fortunately hardly at all as he's always at work or with us but Sunday mornings are x box mornings lol.

Saints Row 2... and other 1s!

That's good then, glad you haven't been abandoned entirely

Saturn74 · 23/11/2008 12:57

Yuk.
I would not be amused.

MadameOvary · 23/11/2008 13:00

I hate all that sh*t, I really do.
YANBU!

titmouse · 23/11/2008 23:13

what's wrong with tetris. Why can't people play normal games any more, the way console games are trying so hard to emulate real life is weird and scary.

YANBU - my husband isn't a gamer, but if he was, that one would be going in the toaster.

I'm totally with you on this one. It's especially annoying on one particular game when he's having sex with his 'wife' & then goes off having affairs, or even starting new families elsewhere. Hahaha

It's a bit OTT to say "all" Xbox games are like that. None of the games my DH has have those kind of things... granted, he much prefers the Lego StarWars type of game rather than the "got to kill everyone" ones.

I personally think its hysterically funny. And he's playing Fable 2 and the moment and every time the girl says 'my friends want to know why I don't have a ring' I ask him why she doesn't have a ring and what kind of hero is he?

Its a game. He's not really shagging someone else, any more than he's killing people.

OrmIrian · 24/11/2008 08:20

Blimey! My 11yr old DS wants Fable II. Perhaps not ....

wannaBe · 24/11/2008 08:32

I think yabu. It's a game. Not to my personal taste, but he's not shagging someone in the flesh any more than he's killing people.

SpringySunshine · 24/11/2008 11:09

Yeah, I mean Fable 2 It doesn't bother me that much (I was having a really crappy day when I was moaning yesterday ), but I do think that it's a bit strange. Fable 2 is actually a fairly good game from what I can make of it - I'd rather sit through him playing that than some of his other shooty games, but it's all a bit bizarre in my opinion.

VictorianSqualor · 24/11/2008 11:13

DP plays SWG on the emu.
He 'harvests' aluminium.
You should recommend it to DP.

Naive · 24/11/2008 11:46

Springy- I was having a bad day yesterday, too. Had to order something in a VERY large size as they are 'made small' (and I'm fat) and there's this woman moaning away on my blardy massive telly with her tiny little waist all over the place lol.

OP YANBU. How incredibly sleazy.

having said that...is there a virtual game where I can have virtual sex with Richard Armitage? only joking honest. I hate computer games!!

AbsolutelyFreezing · 24/11/2008 11:54

My DS want's Fable 2 also! didn't realise it involved sex etc, I thought it was one of those "walk through the woods destroying monsters" games!

If it bothers you that much ask DP not to play it. There are plenty of Xbox games out there that do not involve violence and/or sex. Maybe he needs to buy some of those.
