Which Video Game has the Best Romance?

Love, romance, sexual attraction, all the good stuff that we lonely and emotionally fragile humans yearn for and will do all kinds of crazy things in order to try and secure. Is it any great wonder that as video games increase in sophistication, the most complex element of human interaction is addressed more regularly: the affairs of the heart?

Here are the front runners of memorable romances from my gaming history.

Metal Gear Solid 4, and Final Fantasy 7 for me.

NukaCola4858d ago

FF VII's love triangle was torture. I could feel the pain there from all three.

LX-General-Kaos4858d ago

Yea ff7 is my all time favorite game. I have never played a game again that got to me like that one did.

Liara T'soni just seems like the type of alien I want to date. I just can't connect with the other female characters in Mass Effect with the exception of Ashley.

IM_KINECTED4858d ago

You beat me to it! I think this is the best video game romance bar none.

Gwendolyn and Oswald in Odin Sphere. A beautiful and dark Shakespearean romance.

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole21d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske21d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9230d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil29d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
