BobRoss Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Wifes Hello everyone, how do you guys with a wife and kid/kids play this game. My wife goes crazy every time she hears the title screen music. How do you explain you need more than 1 hour a day to effectively do anything in this game? i wanna know because i think shes gonna kill me in my sleep really soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminraptors Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Mine doesn't actually mind it, I'm 10 days into breeding my first Giga and other than the odd whine when I load up the console(xbox) at 5am to imprint she just let's me get on with it, she knows I love the game, finds it a bit weird that I love my Rexes so much but she knows I'm happy when I Ark. Now ANY other game on the other hand she hates, especially FIFA, which I'm all but banned from playing My kids ain't bothered in the slightest, my 3 year old likes to press lt on all my dinos to try to make them roar and likes doing level ups for the animations lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show her a cute Jerboa or something. i tried, i even loaded her up on single player with god mode on and stuff, she just went looking around for a bit and got bored intantly, the only games she plays are singstar or wii games like mario kart.

Martinigirl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My husband does not complain. Yet I play mostly when he is not home or doing other things. My 7 year old likes to name the dinosaurs I tame, and he levels them up. My 5 year old girl has no interest in the game. I play only single player, and I pause the game a lot. It will take ages to really get somewhere with this game, but I don't mind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaminraptors Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Surely with the massive thread in GD about imprinting and peoples opinions on health and social issues surrounding it this thread is just as relevant, even if posted in a more lighthearted manor How peoples relationships in real life are affected by ARK is about as on topic as it gets imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddansen Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm a single father of two and ive just accepted that I can't experience certain things the game offers such as breeding and imprinting yada yada My oldest 12 has an Xbox of his own and I basically share mine with the youngest 9 . Aside from that I pretty much just log on after they're in bed. i Grind as much as I can in the few hours i got since I'm up at 5 am. It's tough but that's life right. When I was married id just explain to my wife that I'm at home playing games not out drinking getting into who knows what kind of trouble . Like i said it's tough but there needs to be balance... She's got to understand that you want to play and you've got to understand that she wants to play so ... Balance is a must... Maybe pick one day a week were you take her on a date and stick to it. Every Wednesday drop kids off somewheres and show her a good time. Some people aren't gamers so we have to work around their wants.... Losers haha Good luck sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's afraid something will happen and there is nothing i can do to change that. I just pray for the lord that he gives her some kind of hobby to keep her busy so i can play this game for more then 1 hour dont get me wrong, i love the poop out of her but this game is like my place to vent On 18-3-2017 at 5:02 PM, Kaoslion said: Find a Partner that is OK with you playing games first and foremost.

She's afraid something will happen and there is nothing i can do to change that. Yep it's the breaks but whatevs right, i made my bed and now I've got to sleep in it. I do like the grind...to a point, recently moved to single player after being wiped three weeks in a row and I'm discovering that I don't have to grind quite as hard there. As for her not wanting to leave the baby yeah that's expected... But in time that will change . I used to encourage mine to go hangout with her friends so I could have some solid daddy time and there's your chance . Easier said than done i know but it's something. I'm sure if he See's you playing with Dino's than he'll pick it up to. Kids are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyedasoulkilla Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My wife has let me grind for over a year and only yells at me to eat dinner mainly because the kids will sit and watch me play for hours all four of them wined up in my room asking what dino is this or trying to get me to bread.

Irk Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 My wife started off just watching me play while she read. She liked watching, so she never really gave me any trouble. She fell in love with pachy's, then lystro's and decided to try playing to get a few of her own. She picked it up pretty quickly (from never playing video games) and she's pretty good at the game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
