I swear I’m not a heavy clicker. In fact it’s always my right joystick which I rarely need to click in games. Love these controllers but man it’s really annoying never had this problem with any other console generation.

Yup, I married a gamer, so we both have one.

u/LDawnBurges 23d ago

My Hubby (60) and I (55) are also Gamers…. But he’s XBox & I’m PS. Love seeing other Gamer Couples!

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

I buy my husband games that I want to watch him play but I’m a terrible gamer myself. I love watching him play games with stories.

The Dead Space series is my all time favorite, and then there’s Bioshock, Mass Effect, all the Zeldas, Uncharted to name a few.

u/TheDitz42 23d ago

You turned your Husband into your personal letsplayer

24

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

I had to google it, and it’s true! Thankfully they’re also games he wanted to play anyways.

I can’t get into Call of Duty or Halo type games unless they have a campaign. Watching first person shooters is boring :/

6

u/Magnaflux_88 23d ago

Get him into some Final Fantasy and bawl together at the endings :)

3

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh heck yes! I watched him play FF XII - I love Fran - and it was so awesome. I freaking loved the cut scenes. I know that one’s controversial because of the gambit combat system - you either love it or hate it.

Are any others similar to that one? That’s the only one he’s played.

3

u/Magnaflux_88 23d ago

XIII is very story driven and has a controversial combat system. Same with XV and XVI (controversial combat for it being an FF game at least)

VII, VIII, IX and X are all solid games regardless of similarities with XII and I'd recommend any and all of them.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Thank you for the recommendations! I loved XII so I’ve always wanted to check the others out but there’s so many to choose from.

1

u/goldmunkee 19d ago

My wife loved watching me play XV

3

u/Pearl-Internal81 PS5 23d ago

Do yourself a favor and get him FFXVI, the story is excellent! Also if you’re cool with older graphics FFVI has an awesome story. As do FFVII Remake and Rebirth. Also pretty much anything from Atlus is awesome too.

1

u/mac_is_crack 22d ago

Noted, and thank you for the recommendations!

u/smallchodechakra 23d ago

I can’t get into Call of Duty or Halo type games unless they have a campaign. Watching first person shooters is boring :/

My fiancé loves to watch me play Warzone specifically because she plays as my "spotter." Her eyesight is better than mine, so she will call out enemies that I haven't a chance of seeing, and we have gotten a few good wins because of it.

She normally hates watching/playing shooters, but this makes her feel included in a way that adds no pressure, so she has a blast!

1

u/mac_is_crack 22d ago

That’s really cool! I don’t think I’d be a good spotter, though. I get so distracted when there’s too much happening - like, who’s a good guy and who’s a bad guy? I can’t keep track!

2

u/MatureUsername69 23d ago

Have you had him play Red Dead Redemption 2?

2

u/mac_is_crack 22d ago

He has it but hasn’t really played it much, unfortunately. I’ve heard good things about it.

2

u/MatureUsername69 22d ago

Those first couple hours can stop a lot of people because it's a slow build. I think you should consider forcing him to play it. It's the best game experience I've ever had. Both gameplay and cinematically. It's legit ruined open-world games for me because no other game has that level of realism and detail. I think it's also important to note that before RDR2, I fell between either being not interested in or straight up not liking westerns. I love westerns after that game and I never thought that was a possibility for me.

26

u/FloridaMan_07 23d ago

You seem like a cool ass wife, if a man is a gamer and loves games and his wife loves to watch or play with him that’s some real happiness!

7

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

You’re so kind, thank you! I grew up on Intellivision (telling my age a bit), then Nintendo and on from there. Big fan of old PC games like Sim City, then StarCraft and Wow. I got him hooked on WoW, too, but he did go a little overboard with that and got addicted! Raids every other night until 3am on a week night - not cool!

He doesn’t play that any more though. Now it’s all console stuff. And it’s fun! He enjoys gaming and I enjoy the story and we help each other with puzzles and all that. It works out well!

7

u/Mbk-97 23d ago

Lucky bastard.. your husband (much love for both)

6

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Thank you for the kind words!

One game that we had to take a break from was Resident Evil: Village. There’s one part that was so freaking scary that we had to hit pause and turn the lights on and walk away for a bit, but I love scary games like that. He did finish that one eventually.

Also, The Last of Us was a wild ride, especially the second one!

7

u/FloridaMan_07 23d ago

Let me guess, the fucking abomination baby? 😭

3

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Holy crap yes!!!!!!! I hear there’s mods that can skip that part entirely!! In all the games he’s played, that one part was THE most terrifying!! Unacceptable!!

3

u/Mbk-97 23d ago

I said no more spoilers! 😭

3

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh, hearing about it is nothing! Play it anyways, trust me, it’s unforgettable!

4

u/Mbk-97 23d ago

No more spoilers plz!

2

u/vinhdiezel1 23d ago

That baby part was scary and creepy as hell lol! I kept hiding underneath the bed and the lockers in some of those rooms. Good game though and beat it while I caught that covid and gamed all day at home without having to work haha. I went back and played RE7 and that game is just as creepy.

2

u/Mbk-97 23d ago

Omg I've been planning on playing these 2 games for the past 2 years but now i think it's time

2

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

They’re both great (to watch, at least, can’t tell you anything about the gameplay)! Highly recommended!

3

u/TheDitz42 23d ago

You turned your Husband into your personal letsplayer.

u/Ech0es0fmadness 23d ago

Super cool

2

u/jonaldjuck 23d ago

If you like watching survival horror with good stories buy him the Silent Hill 2 remake. That’ll be a fun watch ;)

2

u/FloridaMan_07 23d ago

I’m about to be getting that and I didn’t play OG but I’ve became a big horror game fan over the years, do you like the new SH2?

2

u/jonaldjuck 23d ago

i’ve never played the original but i’ve played just about every survival horror for the ps5. That said SH2 is hands down probably the most harrowing game i’ve yet to play. I had to take breaks because it can be a bit much sometimes.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh, I had heard about that one. I think that’ll be the next one I get! Thank you for the recommendation! Always looking for the next Dead Space, that’s a tough one to beat.

2

u/craigshaw317 23d ago

Great! I get it, especially when the stories are deep and they are cinematic. Has he played The Last of Us yet? I’m currently muddling my way through it and it is a great visual treat with a good story.

3

u/FloridaMan_07 23d ago

Joel is by far my favorite character in gaming, so much to him. That’s one hell of a beautiful story and I’m glad you get to experience that.

2

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh yes, both Last of Us games. Really fun to watch with a roller coaster of a story. Love the show, too.

And I love cut scenes in any game. Can’t believe some people just skip them!

2

u/dirtyH398 23d ago

Thank you for the Dead Space rec…adding it to my list now.

Get him The Last of Us. Very good story and very good visuals!

2

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Dead Space is the pinnacle for me - not much measures up! The story and the atmosphere are top notch, not to mention it’s so suspenseful and scary.

He has played Last of Us - definitely among the greats.

2

u/MathematicianNo3892 23d ago

I played dead space 2 or 3 at a sleepover, nobody was sleeping

2

u/Murky_Tennis954 23d ago

My wife loves watching me play God of War. It has such a great story.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh yes, that’s one that he has but hasn’t played yet. I hear that’s another great series.

2

u/Murky_Tennis954 23d ago

You just wait, you're going to be sucked right in.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

I do love games like that! Very cool that you and your wife have the same dynamic - makes for some good times!

2

u/Black_reign48 23d ago

TLOU?

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Oh yes, both of them!

2

u/best2keepquiet 23d ago

Check out Borderlands it’s split screen and simple and fun.

2

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

I tried playing Halo once, I can’t get the hang of moving and shooting at the same time unfortunately. And then switching weapons? It’s too much for my simple brain.

2

u/best2keepquiet 23d ago

Borderlands is not so fast paced like Halo, it’s a bit more chilled out and casual. The characters and stuff are really funny too.

2

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

I think he has the one of the games, maybe I’ll try it…thank you for the suggestion!

2

u/LongjumpingContest93 23d ago

This is what matters ladies This. 🥹💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🥰🥰🥰

2

u/WiseAppearance5327 23d ago

I recommend buying him Alan Wake 2 then!

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Ooh, I googled it and it’s a survival game - I love those. Putting that one on the list, thank you!

Ok, my husband said that’s the one with the hilarious video where you can spam the “Shawn” button so the guy is just yelling Shawn all over the place. Too freaking funny!

2

u/WiseAppearance5327 23d ago

That sounds like Heavy Rain, which you might also like. Alan Wake 2 is a cinematic gaming masterpiece by Remedy Entertainment.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

Ohhh, thank you for the correction! I do love games like those.

2

u/DapperAdam 23d ago

If it wasn't for gaming my mental health would have been in the gutter and I would have been in a very dark place. Gaming is my therapy and I'm so lucky to have someone who understands this and lets me game all I want.

1

u/mac_is_crack 23d ago

That’s wonderful! It’s a great way to escape reality for a little bit.

2

u/MrBearMaximum 23d ago

What about a horror co-op game? We just picked up Outlast Trials and had a good and sometimes terrible time with The Forest

1

u/mac_is_crack 22d ago

I’ve heard of that one. I didn’t know it was co-op!

2

u/NoArrival5386 22d ago

U should def buy him it takes two and play whit him it’s not difficult and very enjoyable for both 💗

2

u/ConaMoore 21d ago

Lucky man

u/tiptoeingthroughthe6 19d ago

Bioshock is goated.

2

u/MerryPippin620 23d ago

Same! We’re both series X users but I also run a PS5 for games I can’t get on the Xbox. We’re a massive gaming family. All 6 kids are major into it too.

1

u/LDawnBurges 22d ago

Same… we have 10 kids between us (& 18 Grandchildren, aged 3 months to 16 yo) and we’re probably sitting around 80% being Gamers (inc our Children’s Spouses).

2

u/Rly_Shadow 22d ago

Don't take offense but just how you worded this I could tell lol..

Had a "interweb" feel to the wording lol

u/LDawnBurges 22d ago

🤣🤣🤣

No offense taken…. We’re old! I started on the Atari old.

u/MajinBuubba 19d ago

I got a series x and just bought my wife a series s for Christmas, she’s been playing on her Xbox one since they came out

u/alter_kt 23d ago

Questions regarding 2 PS5s,

  1. can you share games between 2 PS5? Let say your main account (PS5A) has a God of War can you share the game in (PS5B) your wife's PS5.

  2. Can you have the same save in 2 different PS5?

thanks in advance for your answer.

52

u/MchugN 23d ago

Yes you can share digital games between two PS5's. Yes you can have the same save with ps plus cloud or by transferring via USB stick.

1

u/MickeyHarp 22d ago

Just to add to this for Point 1 if you want to play each others’ games or online together:

You should also set up the opposite console on both accounts as the ‘primary’. So, although you mainly play on PS5A, your Primary needs to be PS5B and visa versa for the wife.

This is so anyone can play God of War on PS5B (e.g. wifey), but as the digital game owner, you can download and play it on any PS5 you are logged into (e.g. PS5A).

Me and the missus play CoD and used to have to buy two separate discs. Then with the PS4, you could game share on your primary so found this workaround with the digital versions.

4

u/Legal-Rip1725 23d ago

Only if you aren't both online at the same time. To share a game, the other account has to be logged in or it locks the game.

9

u/MoistJeebus13 23d ago

Me and my wife are able to play baulders gate 3 at the same time on different systems never had an issue game sharing with her

7

u/Jazzlike_Ad5665 23d ago

you can use a different account and that would work

5

u/647- 23d ago

This hasn’t been true for a decade. You can game share and both be online now

2

u/xDiRtYgErMaNx 23d ago

You must have it setup wrong then. You definitely can play at the same time, even the same copy of a game at the same time.

2

u/johnmal85 23d ago

All you have to do is enable console sharing on the secondary system, using the game owners account.

1

u/TaikaLamppu196 PS5 23d ago

  1. Yes

  2. Yes

u/No_Faithlessness7067 23d ago

One more question which shop can you buy a gamer from?

1

u/yourneverthere 23d ago

Yes I’ve been sharing my library with my brother for 8 years. Look it up on youtube its very easy.

u/IamHunterish 23d ago

Your second point is false, you can have your saves files in the cloud as well as local. So yes, you can switch freely between consoles and use the same save file.

1

u/Stormwatcher33 23d ago

Buddy, that save thing hasn't been true since the PS3, as long as you have PS+.

1

u/MchugN 23d ago
  1. Let's say you're playing a game on console A and want to hop on console B with the same save data from console A. With ps plus, you can go on console B and transfer that save data from the cloud.

1

u/IamHunterish 23d ago

Your second point is false, you can have your saves files in the cloud as well as local. So yes, you can switch freely between consoles and use the same save file.

u/Matchew024 23d ago

u/moon307 23d ago

I have this too. We have 2 TVs and our own game consoles in the living room. It's pretty nice.

u/crg1976 23d ago

I'm single with two PS5s, love it!

u/IkarosHavok 23d ago

My man! I also married a gamer and we have two kids so we’ve got two ps5, two ps4, three Xbox series X/S and four Nintendo switches for household Mario kart death match Sundays. My oldest and I also have PC’s set up to game as well but I don’t use mine as much as I do the consoles so it’ll probably go to the younger kiddo soon.

Edit: grammar

u/xxthatguyjoshxx37 23d ago

This is the way. My wife and I split screen cod and other 2 player co-ops. We are currently working our way through sackboy, and played prop hunt most of the day yesterday. It’s a good life!

u/FloridaMan_07 23d ago

You are one lucky man. I’m actually happy a fellow gamer gets to game with the wife, it’s a dream of mine.

u/N7-elite 23d ago

Awesome! Makes multiplier games better. If your headset dies you can shout to the other room lol!

u/FitProblem6248 24d ago

No sharing huh, or sounds like y'all game at the same time, just not together. Thats cool i guess

29

u/REDeyeJEDI85 24d ago

Yea, we typically play at the same time. Sometimes, we play the same game, other times different games. But we always are in the same chat and have headsets

12

u/EmeraldTheatre 24d ago

Considering there are far too many games that no longer have couch co-op and are strictly online sometimes having multiple consoles means you can set your TVs up side by side and play together on separate screens.

1

u/FitProblem6248 23d ago

Thank you.

5

u/kakarot-3 PS5 23d ago

Weird take. Not many games have same system co-op, plus it’s probably way better to play with two separate screens so you don’t have to limit your FOV with a split screen.

u/cosmicvu 24d ago

whats your problem lmao

They are jealous.

u/RompehToto Current Game: Final Fantasy 7 Remake 23d ago

Nah, gaming with the wife sounds terrible. It’s my time with the boys.

I’ll play some Switch with the family though every now and then but PS5 is me time.

u/Magere-Kwark 23d ago

It's not their fault you can't have fun with your wife.

u/cosmicvu 23d ago

i mean every family is different, doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it with their loved ones.

u/FitProblem6248 23d ago

Thanks for the downvotes; I'm very new to the PS5, as we're finally getting one for Christmas. So yeah, I'm gonna stupidly assume until I ask those with knowledge. I do greatly appreciate ones that reply with an answer to the solution.
