Wife got me devil may cry 4 as present, but i told her i wanted another.

My wife got me devil may cry 4 today as a late birthday present.... But i wanted burnout paradise. Im a fan of the devil may cry series but, 65$ is alot for a game that wont last me more than a couple of hours nor does it have multiplayer. is it really that good? or should i go with burnout paradise?

i told her if she had the reciept to return it, but she said she lost it, i feel bad for telling her i wanted a different game, was telling her a mistake? i just wanted her to get her moneys worth, games are expensive and she works hard

You probablly shouldn't have told her that, just keep the game and enjoy it. It really is the thought that counts in this situation (however cliche that may be): she bought you a $65.00 game because she knows you love them, and it was probably a bit of a slap in the face to hear you in a sense "complain" about it.

My advice would be to just keep it, play it, and let her know that you enjoy it, even if you don't. I know this isn't a relationship forum, but i'm just trying to help out. Plus, all that aside, DMC4 really is an amazing game, and you're sure to get alot of fun out of it, especially if you enjoy challenging yourself and trying it on harder modes.

telling her was definately a mistake lol if a woman or girl gets you something you didn't really want pretend like you wanted it because most of the time they worked really hard to get it and you sound like a jack@$$ for saying that you don't want it. I say you keep DMC4 and buy Burnout with your own money.G-Legend

dont get me wrong, i DO want it, but i was going to rent it. i even told her i do want it, but that im going to sit and beat it too quickly and trading it in is going to get me less for it.... she was going to get me burnout but they were sold out and she baught devil may cry on impulse just to get me something... i want her to get her moneys worth

Well I still say you keep DMC4 maybe even appologize to her. I'm sure you'll get $60 sooner or later then you can get burount when it's not sold out. Even if you feel it's not her moneys worth she still bought the game for you.

pretty much man, it is a damn gift. Just accept it. The last thing you want is to hurt or anger your wife, she just tried to do something nice.

.... Wow, you know so little about women I'm suprised you can last 5 minutes with one.Hububalub2

lol... yet so true.... sorry dude but have to agree with Hububalub2

alrighty heres what you do:

1.whatever you do DO NOT GO BUY BURNOUT. women are crazy, if you buy burnout and toss her gift aside she'll take that as you tossing her love aside. crazy broads these days

2.tell her you're still dissappointed that she got you that instead of burnout, HOWEVER you'll still play it because SHE got it for you

3. make sure she see's you playing the game here and there with a big grin on your face

4.after you got through the game go tell her you actually really enjoyed it and she made a good desicion getting you that instead

5.now wait about a week then you're safe to go buy burnout. maybe even for safe measure play through devil may cry a second time first.

Your wife buys you games? :(

You're lucky.

see i understand, but it was expensive. and im afraid if i beat it in less than a day and she find out, she might get upset because she spend 60$ on a game that i beat in one day. you know?

From one husband to another, just take the damn game and enjoy it. Then after your done playing, take her out to dinner and show her how much you appreciate her. Trust me, your wifes feelings are much MORE important then what gift she gives you.Dirty3rdTex

well she told me she understands, she says it was a impulse buy...and to the person above me, im going to take it and take her out to dinnertrey555555

Glad to hear. Wasnt trying to be rude, just trying to advise you on the RIGHT thing to do.

DMC4 is not a bad purchase, I feel no remorse on buying it.

Do you know how many wives give video games as a present?? not many, pal. So just enjoy the game, and tell her that you're sorry for saying what you said. Make sure she sees you playing and after that, tell her that you take all your words back and that it's an excellent present.

That or be doomed to get socks and ties from now on.

Now that's a good excuse... I use it whenever my wife gives me something I don't like.

I don't know how couples deal with giving gifts but my wife and I have an agreement/understanding. It goes like this:

• Always keep the receipt.
• Be honest. If it's not something either of us wants, just say so. There's nothing wrong with saying I don't want this. That's why #1 is keep the receipt.
• See #1 and #2

A couple christmas' ago, I completely bombed on my wife's gifts. I mean, I was nowhere in the ballpark. What did I do? The day after christmas, I went to the mall and bought her nice sum gift certificate and wrapped it in a nice box and everything so she could go pick something out herself.

No I know your situation is slightly different so I recommend what some others said... Go ahead and play through the game. Even make sure she sees you playing it. When you beat it, go to her say "you know what, I enjoyed that game and I glad you bought for me". That will go a long way with her even if she sees right through it. But make no mistake about it, she's letting you buy your own games from now on:idea: You'll probably hear her say "i was going to buy you [insert game here] but I wasn't sure you'd want it:roll:

Dude, DMC4 rocks hard,theres 5 diffitculties, and your gonna wanna play at least the 4 because you unlock pics, plus theres something called bloody palace which is like a bonus you unlock after the 2nd difficulty with i believe 100 hundred floors of demon a$$ kicking to be at had.But more importantly she bought DMc4 for you, so you should play the hell out of it!..Besides she lost the recipt :P So enjoy !

Man, I want a wife that buys games for me...

Just be happy your woman buys you games man!! Besides, DMC4 owns!! :)

You probablly shouldn't have told her that, just keep the game and enjoy it.

Y'know, there is such a thing as a nice way to tell her you wanted a different game. People here keep telling this guy it would make you sound like a jacka$$ for saying didn't want DMC4 and that it would make her feel bad. But I think it's just the opposite. She bought you the game so you would be happy. If it wasn't the game you wanted, and you tell her that(in a nice way), she'll know that your not happy with the game she bought you. You must understand, her whole purpose in buying the game for you was so that you would enjoy it. Which ultimately means if it's not the one you like, then she's not gonna mind you returning it for another game. Because then, you'd be happy, which was her goal from the start. You get what I'm saying?

Agreed.

Telling her was a bad idea. We should always embrace the presents that we are given, especially by loved ones. It means that they care;)

And yes, DMC4 is a great game.

Sure, but don't hold your breath waiting for her to buy you another game down the road.

You made the biggest mistake ever!

Shouldn't of said that to her, but glad that you made it up to her.

My wife bought me plenty of games in the past, I think the last one she bought me was Turok. I liked it, gave her a kiss and hug.

Later on like the guy said, Take her out to dinner. That's what I did, but never do that again man. It's not right!

I'm just going to say enjoy DMC 4, maybe it will surprise you. I think it has lots of re-play value, heck sometimes a replay a mission once or twice before going to the next one.

btw, I'm a girl, sometimes guys get me gifts that I don't want either, if I get flowers my cats just knock them over and eat them, I don't tell them that though. :P I just say "thanks how beautiful".
