My sister recently asked me about wanting to play games with her boyfriend. They both are avid gamers but her boyfriend only likes to play third person RPG's (JRPG's or Adventure games) that have a strong story focus. My sister says she wants a game that will be of one of the two genres that has a main plot but allows co-op.
The problem I am having is thinking of any (mostly finding them to be of the wrong genres or lacking a main story componant).
So far I have mentioned:
Eternal Sonata
Dragon Quest IX
Diablo-style games (don't know much about them but I sort of half remember people talking about playing them with friends when it had a story)
The Lego games (I think if they picked one that they knew the story of then the expressions of the characters would be enough to fullfill the story componant)
What can any of you think of? Xbox360 games would be most useful - followed by PS2 and PS3 games. Then PC games (if they are of a lower intensity of graphical power) and finally DS and Wii/gamecube games.
*I should also point out that they have tried playing MMO's and my sister found the design of quests and the grinding even with the story to break the gameplay for her. She also hates when the second character is basically useless/weaker than the 1st player either mechanically or canonically.*
---Edit---- She also said that she has tried the Fable games and might try them again so she knows about them.
