Has a vidya romance ever actually made you feel something?
No because I fall in love with vidya girls near instantly. I don't need romance for that.
i know that this is exactly how gachas extract money from idiots like me, but i dont care, i still fall for cute girls
yeah.
Yeah when I was young I remember playing katawa shoujo and I ended up in Emi's route but I made one bad option and got the incel suicide ending. All I did was follow her into the kitchen to console her or something and according to the unwritten rules of women that made me fail
>>736050851No because romance in vidya is usually just marking checkboxes until their personality instantly 180s to them being so lovestruck they can barely think about anything other than (you). There is never any buildup.
>>736050851shadow of the colossus had a little impact for me, then I grew up>>736051190>I don't care if these pixel girls' dialogues are written by menyeah you're a faggot
>>736051592literally name one female writer, you cant. a female never wrote anything, ever.
>>736050851Persona 5 Hawaii date with Kawakami
>>736051757Weren't Frankenstein and Beauty and the Beast written by women?
>>736050851Slay the Princess.I ache to experience something like that again.
>>736050851Wakasagihime in EraTW, yes
Yes, Paraphore
I beat Catherine, I think I'm ready for a girlfriend, I think I know what to do.
>>736050851No because I experience love IRL. I have fallen in love with a girl from a dream before.
>>736050851Yeah, a fetish vn.Came for the porn, stayed for the girl.
It's not your fault JackieEven though it's totally your fault
>>736050851I twisted myself into rhetorical knots about how doing the max aegis social link after the yukari one wasn't technically cheating. Once I caught myself doing that I realized how cheaters justify things to themselves, quite a sobering moment
>>736050851Yes, I miss Alyx
>>736050851Only one.
Merrin: Do you trust me?Cal Kestis: Yes.(Merrin kisses Cal)Cal Kestis: Was that for luck?Merrin: No. For me.
>>736052593
>>736054582you just know Merrin is gonna die in the next installment
>>736054491Pretty based.
>>736050851You're goddamn right it has.
Feels rare to see romances in games develop beyond a sex scene
I get affected by them too easily. I have the problem where any sort of semi-passable fiction can turn me into an emotional wreck, but nothing in reality makes me feel anything.
>>736057430All those lines are so corny. I'd never say those to my gf.
>>736057547Honestly it's probably best to not do most things you see in a video game with your girlfriend
I kinda dont like seeing romance in my vidya, it makes me sad because it reminds me of what i will never have.I am never gonna get a gf ;_;
>>736054582Fuck this they rushed it, they had something good going on in the first game then in the second they just fucking rushed itJedi survivor truly is trash
>>736057410wait what ending was this
>>736057659You may not get the physical experience without a VR setup, but it technically is yours.
>>736057716Ending 3. It's the easiest ending to get, and considered by many (myself included) to be the more realistic of the two good endings.
>>736057847is that the one where you come back from the service?for some reason all i remember is that scene where she's at the piano
The few flashbacks the player gets of Roland and his wife did make me temporarily polymorph into Ryan Gosling.
>>736050851Dusa in Hades.
>>736050851>i have home
>>736057946That's the one.
>>736050851yea and i hate my miserable life
>>736050851Yes, katawa shoujoI was depressed for at least a week
>>736050851>Don't ever forget me...Be honest, how many of you did?
>>736050851Kinda weird but Hoji having a hard on for his sister was unexpectedly somber in the sea of Wang jokes in shadow warrior.
>>736050851Rin's route in Katawa Shoujo
I hate dating sim/"pick a girl" romance in video games because I feel it undermines romance as a narrative pillar in a story and reduces everything to interchangeable checkboxes. The best vidya romances are singular, canonical, baked into and are central to the story. "Pick a girl" romances only works in visual novels where the plot can drastically change instead of feeling like "the same story but the girl at your side is a different flavour of -dere"Anyways, excluding visual novels, the last recent vidya romance that got me was Noah and Mio in Xenoblade 3.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ka0ylzBq_w
>>736057659Don't say that. Believe in yourself, anon, and you can make it.
>>736050851Yes
>>736050851Dispatch was a solid 6/10 on the chair clattering scale, which is quite strong.
>>736050851This one didn't make me cry or anything but it did make me tear up a little bit, I won't lie.My man properly earned his happy ending, I was just glad to finally see him collect.
>>736058940Dispatch is just Twilight but for chuds.
>>736051190Anon did you name her like this?
>>736057430>>736057547Remember that this was written by the dude who made it he interesting NPC mod for Skyrim they hired him in context for this
Yes But it’s nothing like the real thing
>>736059354Kris Takahashi huh. People really liked his Zora Fair-Child character
>>736050851Only Snoot Game.
>>736050851Tidus and Yuna when I played it at launch at 11
>>736058867But, im terrible at forming bonds with other people, i genuinely talk more to my discord friends than IRL girls, even when i think i am befriending them, i always find out that they dont even know my name.Im already 20, and i feel like its too late for me
>>736059938
Ban Gacha threads
>dev decides they don't want the player being able to engage in any sort of romance>rubs it in your face by making you be a wingman for a carpet muncher
>>736059421God, modern women are so disgusting looking
>>736050851Raz and Lillie are adorable
>>736060470I hated this game so much. When that tunafish factory boss gave me some stupid ass proposition, I just started killing everyone in the game. I don't remember what the choices were, it was something like>Either you be evil, or you be good. And you can't get off the planet 'til you choose.There was one unkillable NPC left on the first area, it may have been this woman names after cheese. I can't remember.
>>736057379I love older Persona women
>>736050851White Album 2 made me feel multiple things.
>>736061686Bui? That you, buddy?
>>736053428I rented this game when it was new a billion years ago, and yet the stupid romance is one of the only things I remember about it. I honestly think it's as simple as they let the characters have a really slow moment together where they hang out on the couch watching TV and cuddling together. If I remember correctly, she falls asleep and will stay there with you as long as you want until you get up. Video games are never willing to give couples quiet or thoughtful moments like that. I'd take this over a cheesy Bioware sex scene any day.
>>736050851No
>>736057659same. Its probably for the best. Real love isn't anything like my waifu.
Squall x Rinoa got me but that’s pretty much the only one
>>736052721thorn?
>>736058982this ending was so goddamn satisfactory
>>736050851Only in FFX. Dunno how I'd feel about it now, I was probably just the right age for it when I played it.
>>736050851I'm feeling something
RAGE
>>736058982This, but mainly this other one, I genuinely cried when I finished Neo TWEWY
Not at all haha
this jobber and his dead dragon wife
Does bromance count?
>>736050851No. Vidya romances are cringe because they aren't real
>>736062897Always.
>>736051190same
>>736064921Gosling /v/ros...
>>736050851I STILL LOVE RIN after all this years! you know which one.
>>736053428Came to post The Darkness. Incredible ending.
>>736050851no you fucking loser. doesn't make me feel anything when I kill someone in a game either but it sure would irl. fucking zoomers can't separate reality and fiction which is why they get so fucking angry at made up characters
>>736062378>If I remember correctly, she falls asleep and will stay there with you as long as you want until you get upYeah, you could watch the entirety of the movie To Kill A Mockingbird which was playing on the TV during that part
>>736050851It sounds very stupid, but I thought Chiru was effectively done in Galgun 2. The girl next door you spoke to through your windows had loads of charm and gave it a bit of an intimate feeling and the little bits of lewdness contributed too without being porny. The story's events also added a sense of yearning. It's silly, it doesn't seem like a romance in a very goofy game should work but it really did, better than romance in most other games. The elements just came together to be greater than the sum of their parts.
>>736053428>"I can feel your heartbeat"
My first vidya waifu. In many ways I've been chasing this feeling in games, and nothing has really come close.
>>736065180MY HIPS ARE MOVING ON THEIR OWN
>>736053428https://youtu.be/MSzuW5uCSig?t=147COME ON JACKIEGET YOUR GAME FACE ON
>>736050851Only Katawa Shoujo
>>736053428>>736065180Wish we had gotten a 3rd game for the mandatory 1 god tier relationship section with Jackie and Jenny both games hadThe Mockingbird section in 1 is great obviously but I also like the one in 2 where Jackie starts seeing visions of her and eventually he stops caring if it's real or not and just talks about how she's the only person that's ever given a shit about him while they dancehttps://youtu.be/XldnDCQPueM
>>736050851Only this game. Dying senile old man just wants to reunite with his dead wife.
>>736050851
Shiro and Seiba, FSN.Hey, VN's count
>>736065363I really liked those games. One of my biggest disappointments was when I bought the comics they were based on and found out the video games were nothing like the comics and they were just some generic superhero shit
>>736050851Princess connect blue archive imas cunny made me feel something https://youtube.com/watch?v=ojaoOZDUpAE
>>736065732it's kind of hilarious just how trash the comics are in comparison and how much worse of a character Jackie is, yeah.
>>736050851Most vidya romances are dogshit (just like real ones lol) and end up being just shitty dating minigames that really don't offer much and give the illusion of depth (again just like real-life), but the ones where the connection isn't just said outright but shown like >>736053428, >>736058221 and >>736059995 always get to me. It's closer to real love than most relationships I see really and I desire that rather than what is essentially a somehow more base form of prostitution that's more expensive and less effective.Anyways, Nier and Kaine's romance is the best one I've seen in a game.>>736065790Fuck off faggot. That everything about that game was trash. Legitimately proof that /v/ will shill for horrendous games just because it has hot women in it.>>736058841Basically this. I have no problem with sex in video games, but most vidya romance is just devoid of soul and an actual connection because it's all a bunch of textboxes and choices between said textboxes, not an actual story of how a man and a woman fall in love with one another.
>>736050851my ai wife!
Yes OP, Hanako from Katawa Shoujo is mai waifu, also all the girls in Baldr Sky had really good routes, and Fate but that's more relating with Shirou than anything else.>>736051190Jesus the most basic of fucking wish fulfillment.Get some fucking taste newfag.
>>736065131SOVL>>736062378I agree with the 'slow moments' thing. If you haven't already, play Metro Exodus. Probably some of the best wife-interactions in any vidya ever to exist.
>>736058221GULLGIRL made me want to actually play Link's Awakening.
I'm so lonely and sad
>>736059421Why does every girl have that hairstyle all of the sudden?
>>736059421Modern women tho
>>736065845>Fuck off faggot> literally praise a faggot shtEstroget made you thinskinned, sis
>>736066440cuz its in style and cute
>>736065845>everything about that game was trash.>it has hot women in it.The logical corollary of these two statements is that you are gay.
>>736050851No, but the current state of the industry has me feeling like that gif in OP. There are great games coming out, but it seems like less and less people are interested. It's been going down this path for a while, then covid gave it a bump, and now we're worse than we were before.>AIIt was happening before that too. The 4chan hack certaintly didn't help either, but that just magnified the issue rather than cause it. Plus I see more and more people with grey in their beard talking about games than I do younger people (unless they are just all on TikTok where I don't go there anyway).
>>736066537Speak English, IvanPabloRajeeshMehmet.>>736066610Or you have shit taste like you brown friend here and think modern show pitches dressed up as Telltale-style games are good just because the women are hot. You're free to play games that aren't modern insincere capeshit garbage for kids and with hot chicks in them along with gameplay. Nier Automata and FFX/X-2 fit that bill perfectly. Hell, even a game like Octodad is better than that garbage game you pussyless dorks keep defending.Get some taste, queers.
>>736066440>cute>low maintenance >really popular rnThat's basically it, more or less.
>>736050851I think the closest I ever got was the Tali romance line after playing all three games back to back. Just wanted to help her build that house on Rannoch man.
>>736067060What didn't you like about Dispatch anon? From what it seems to me it just looks like a neat lil superhero moviegame with a romance focus.Also the songs they used are BANGIN
>>736050851yeah harvest moon on gamecube when i was a kid
>>736050851Yeah
>>736067258It's a Telltale gameThe character's dialogue is very very annoying and juvenile. They say stupid shit you see in capeshit moveis like "fuckedy fuck fuck fuck". Things actual adults don't say.Choices really don't matter. I actually dug into it and it does the Telltale thing where you can either do one thing or another, but the results are the same sort of like how in the Walking Dead you can save one character from a zombie attack or another, but both characters would die in the exact same scene a 30 minutes into gameplay in pretty much the exact way. It's the illusion of choice and how the game actively bullshits you into thinking that anything matters.The blonde and invisible chick are hot, but they are have bad personalities. They also don't have any real reason to have such bad personality traits like the blonde bitch being a cheater and the invisible chick just being a cunt. They're good for sex, but in order to have a full blown relationship or attachment to a character like Jenny from the Darkness, a chick has to have a good personality that really shines through for the player. It's the same reason niggas remember Malon from OoT, Kaine, Yuna, 2B or any chick that's conventionally attractive and has a good personality too boot.The minigames mostly don't matter. You can do nothing and still beat them. That's how I kinda figured out that this isn't even really a game since the minigames don't even demand you play them.I guess the music was alright. Everything else about this game was just objectively bad and to a great degree. It's not even like I don't like less action oriented games since Detroit Become Human was actually great and other David Cage games may not have been good, but they were entertaining at least. They actually stuck to the premise that the player's actions had consequences and were actually entertaining plus they always have some hot chic in them. I just think Dispatch is a bad game for people with no sense of taste.
>>736050851tali'zorah made me feel funny.
>>736050851I love Kass!
>>736067804Good review anon. I kinda smelled a bit of that just from osmosis posting. It sucks that you can never just have a good plate of vidya, there's always a side-dish of some BULLSHIT.I'd recommend Esoteric Ebb for you anon, very good point n' click detective adventure that doesn't bog you down as much with the faggotry.And you can score some dates for the MC. It really just needs a sexy girl mod.
>>736050851 Panams sex eyes is the best that has ever been done. Obviously you need a couple mods to get rid of the nig hair and bathroom stall drawings on her.

>>736050851>romanceI remember crying a lot with this one game. Old untranslated VN. You're a young girl with abusive parents and an abusive older brother. You run away together with your brother and
>>736068562we've all played The Coffin of Andy and Leyley
>>736062378Cyberpunk actually added this, like my screenshot here >>736068436It's a little bit of a weird guilt uncanny effect. My gf would probably legit be mad especially because its a latina. Which she thinks i have a fetish for. I don't, just the rolled dice gave me a couple latina gfs and a spaniard gf.
>>736068378Sweet. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>736050851for me yes
>>736051190Anon, thats a horse.
>>736057430Even ignoring the mega-roastie>5 responses>they are the same thingNice RPG you got there.
dumps you after you get your military mods removed
>>736057639She doesn't look that bad but this>>736057430 looks like a 50 year old womanI think its hard to do it in bethesda games because they don't have the proper skeletons, movement or camera to have any moment really feel like anything. I'm really interested in how gta 6 will do with the bonnie and clyde dynamic. There will be plenty of time for idle talk and that should include negging and talking about bullshit, which no game i can think of has really done that. Every conversation has to be purposeful and related to what you are doing or romancing.
>>736057547>All those lines are so cornythats who bethesda games are made for and by these days so it tracks, 30-50 year olds who are afraid to be sexual or edgy or offensive
>>736065845>just because it has hot women in itWhy exactly does this make you so mad? Blowing a gasket all over nothing.
>>736069863See >>736067804The game is shit. I could care less about the hot chicks in the game if it were actually halfway decent. Get some reading comprehension skills.
>>736068776You WILL encounter some faggotry but Ebb is good with always giving you a way to side-step it breddy well
>>736069539Peak gen Xer that gooned himself into a life of celibacy.
>>736069285fallout 4/76 and starfield really struggle with character lighting in different environments. too many places accentuate the robotic auto-face animations in a really negative way and make them look psychotic or just potato-like. once in a blue moon you get an actually good screenshot of a face
Not exactly a romance, but this did hit me like a truck.
>>736050851I read many otome games, and play LADS daily so yes, I do enjoy romance. Sylus is my roman empire, but the recent Caleb story made me cry. It's still all just fantasy at the end of the day.
>>736070461As shitty as Joyful was, the fight with Brad still fucks me up.
>>736052593>ring named with our initialsGood god this is mega cringe. No wonder p5 is for virgin losers because people don't do that shit IRL.
>>736050851wife
>>736059421>But it’s nothing like the real thingIn a good way ofc. IRL romance sucks balls for men.
>>736050851Yes. A nice romance game always has me sitting on the side of my bed and stare into nothing for a couple of minutes.
>>736071405You're going to die loveless and alone because you lack any concept of romance. Don't bother getting mad and responding, I already closed the thread.
>>736050851Dreams...A life of a man named Lacan...

>>736050851I'm not usually invested in vidya romance, but Ar Tonelico 2's ending serenade did hit it out of the park for me. Learning another language so you can convincingly express your earnest love to the final boss of the previous game is hella sweet.

>>736071405That's one of the few cringe things in this thread that does happen
>>736058889
VTM: Redemption The whole plot revolves around the mc saving the love of his life and that ending is probably the most romantic shit I've seen in vidya
>>736050851Back in '99, I was 11 and played Baldur's Gate 2, and I jerked off to Viconia's romance dialog. Her talking about rimming a genie and telling me I wasn't worthy of such attention did things to me that I still haven't gotten over.
The weirdest realization I had when I was a teenager was realizing that generally, men are actually the romantic ones and it doesn't matter to women at all. They just instantly imprint on you with an explosive infatuation and mistake that infatuation for love. It feels like you didn't even do anything to earn it, because you fucking didn't. They just """love""" you. And one day for no reason at all they can decide they dont like you just as fastIt's so weird because you grow up truly being indoctrinated into thinking that women are the deeply emotional ones. Finding out that all of their emotions are indistinguishable from impulses, shallow and fleeting things, is just bizarre
>>736051757Flannery O' Connor. Absolute kino.
>>736050851FF7 Remake came close. Aerith is the perfect girl
The date with her gave me some hope for Harry's future
>>736081208>spoiler
>>736050851sure, there's very occasionally a good one that makes me feel something. Most games don't really execute well enough though
This stupid italian and his wife that he killed
>>736080820I've only ever had one gf but it was exactly like that, so I can corroborate that.
>>736066858>Plus I see more and more people with grey in their beard talking about games than I do younger people (unless they are just all on TikTok where I don't go there anyway).That's gatekeeping. Let the kids play on their phone (Roblox and Fortnie)and let us play the real video games (Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox). When game companies figure that out they will get better and we'll be back.
>>736064921
>>736067804>and the invisible chick just being a cuntThe sad thing is that's why so many anons like her. Tomboyfags have no standards.
>>736050851Jealousy
>>736050851nyoI only form headcanon attachments between character creator OCs and random NPCs like MH3 Aisha
>>736050851Gets harder seeing this stuff in games as I get older. Knowing I'll never get to experience such a thing.
In games where I create the characters, and one dies after years of love, like Rimworld, Sims, etcoddly enough, GTAIV came right to mind, where if you have the ending where Kate dies, when she was basically the one who was trying to be good and Nico's actions caused it

>>736050851Yes, genuinely. I can’t remember what romance off the top of my head (old ass dementia having boomer here) but there was definitely one involving a loli that had me in tears

>>736050851Yea when I was 16 and retarded
>>736080820I agree that women seem to be quick to change their minds about the man they supposedly love. I’ve heard so many stories of men’s girlfriends suddenly losing interest in them, while the men would’ve been perfectly happy to keep the relationship going. Dunno about the rest of the post though

>>736092097it feels nice, its why I got a girlfriend in highschool.but the only reason she was interested in me was to get back at her ex-boyfriend.if felt real to me but it was all a means to an end for her.once I fulfilled my purpose I was quickly and coldly dropped.I genuinely believe anyone who says that "better to have love and lost" quote is a stupid retard.literally all my guy friends have been cheated on every single time and they keep trying, fuck that.
BROS I LOVE HER SO MUCH
>>736050851not exactly a vidya romance but anime romance, yesnow I feel miserable every time I think about it...
>>736092459...me
>>736051207I'm more of a Margitfag but I really love that part in Kris' route where there's a power outage and Yamato just starts kissing her right there in the darkness meanwhile his friends are all confused about the situation
>>736092097Lately, a recurring thing has been that as I fall asleep I have a sudden, incredibly clear realization that some people genuinely have somebody beside them that they can touch and hug then I jerk awake and can't fall back asleep
>>736094905Whomst?
>>736089309Dragon Age: OriginsThe Morrigan dating sim.
>>736050851When my sims woohoo I sumtimes get boners
>>736096897I won't say. It didn't last. I fell for a bait and paid for it. I had the wrong expectations about the story and that's itI stopped reading that shit story more than a year ago but I'm still seething about it. I just can't move on and now I compared anything that has some romance on it to that shit story and I can't enjoy romance anymore
>>736069150When does this happen? Its been awhile since I played so I might have forgotten?
>>736068871fucking horses has been a part of 4chan culture since 2011
>>736050851i love my tsundere moon goddess wife
Yes, either I'm very emotional or I simply don't know how emotional other men get because we don't talk about it.I'm not going to sit there and talk about it, nobody will know because I don't make my emotions other people's business but they do make me pretty emotional. Shit that'll sit on me for weeks until it fades away.I love story games for this reason. Games for gameplay are fun and all, while they'll bring me joy and excitement there's nothing like the feeling from a really impactful story that I'll be thinking about 2 weeks down the line while on a run.It's a shame that modern video game writers are so fucking shit though, it's always old games that actually hit me.
>>736050851I didn't enjoy Steins Gate because Mayuri ending was unsatisfying, and just finished the VN for the sake of finishing it, I didn't care about anything else. Also when she dies, I shed a tear. How you gonna let a girl like Mayuri alone after all the years she spent beside you.
>>736081353I remember that one, vaguely. Was pretty cool.
>>736098587Mayuri was the only main character that I liked. I don't really get the hype of S;G outside of her plus a few other scenes.
>>736092465There's not really a "canon" girl in Persona games but she is the most popular one who gets pushed. Personally her, Mitsuru, and Kawakami are my picks for their respective games.
>>736099829nta but for me the lover arcana is always the canon girl
>>736050851No because most them suck.
>>736099829>I'll cookmiss me with that shittoo unrealistic
These autists were really cute in Fire Emblem Awakening.
>>736097113She doesn't dumb you because you got your implants removed but because you were in a coma for two years. You only get that if you do the fed ending like a total tool.
>>736099980Ai offers to do the same.
>>736050851Nope, not even once. Romance is the worst aspect of any form of entertainment. Sex is fine tho.
>>736099920I do love them too
Wow! This thread really makes me want to kill myself!
.
>>736057430This woman is the reason why I went from on-the-fence to a solid NO on trying out Starfield. Who the fuck thought this nagging ugly cunt was a worthwhile addition to a sci fi power fantasy? Why do this? WHY?
>>736065192This. Starts off fun and develops very nicely, especially after her heelturn. And far better than Carth, who was a prototype of the eventual Bioware romance formula (and arguably its worst offender).
you do know you can go outside and try getting something for yourself, you knowyou don't need a plastic 9/10 korean woman to feel fulfilled or loved. it's ok to go for a 5
>>736104992>go outside and try getting something for yourselfAh, of course! The single women store! How could I forget about that? I feel like such an idiot for not remembering that place exists. Thanks, anon!
>>736105228people have never been more alone (in western countries), chances are most women you meet or see are single. playing whataboutism like that is fun and all but hardly an argumentgranted, naturally, most people who spend money on gacha and vns for romatic engagement are probably not top shelf material, but everything can be worked on

bros...I'm gonna miss you while the site is down...
>>736107682See you in the other side, anon. Love you.
>>736104992I can't stand being around real people. I don't want anyone or anything outside. I just want to enjoy my fictional game romances in peace.
>>736104992Look man, if I'm wasting my time in a laotian melon farming forum, is because I don't really relate to most people outside, especially since most women around me are fat angry latinas whom I have almost nothing in common with
>>736050851What's with all the relationship threads lately? Are you anons alright? I know things can get lonely but it'll be alright.
>>736050851No never happened.I also don't care for coomer content or hot women in games.Or women in general.Not gay either I just think sex gets in the way and makes everything worse and less pure.I am not talking about virginity purity kek,Im saying is it detracts from the purity of the gameplay and artistic vision.
>>736050851Only once>Artificial Academy 2 comes out>Get some of my friends over, we each make ourselves>Put us in a class with all of the default girls>Play for an hour or two every few days, find out about Jinzo, minds blown>IRL girlfriend fucking cheats on me>Insanely distraught>Break up with her on the spot>Playing the game alone>Girlfriend in game (loli with long brown hair) cheats on me>Double distraught>Break up with her on the spot>Depressed, continue playing because I have nothing else to do>Another girl in game (long red hair) starts coming onto me>Want to turn down her attempts for anything because I'm depressed, but say yes anyway>My heart isn't in it, but she's really nice>She's persistent, asks to be my gf, say yes>End up feeling a little better by the end of the dayFuck my ex, fuck that loli, that red haired girl was very sweet
>>736052593>>736108562Sometimes I consider replaying P5 and think "I should pick someone who's not Kawakami just to see their story" but on the other hand I really can't pick someone who's not her so I end up just not replaying it
Face it, vidya romance storylines are cringe. Romance blooms when it's done subtly.
>>736050851No because im not the most pathetic person on Earth
>>736108981I already experience subtle romance in real life, no thank you.
>>736067258>Also the songs they used are BANGINIMMA SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A POUND CAKECAKECAKECAKE
>>736108981true. Light flirting from an NPC that allows you to fill in the blanks with your imagination is better.It also feels more intimate, like they have to restrain themselves in front of the other NPCs but you both know what's really going on
>>736108964It's impossible for me to friendzone her.
this thread has only one correct answer
lil gups don't remember KS Emi best girl
>>736066253Based. I love my wife Anna
>>736096863Your partner may roll over and hit you with an elbow. She may have some infection that smells terrible. Or she just smells bad all the time. You cannot rip a stinky one at will.Nah, I am fine sleeping alone.
>>736108981IRL my romance is so subtle, neither me nor her even felt it
>>736099829>get a big dog
>>736114076>he wouldn't help his partnerIf someone smells bad all the time, they are probably sick in some way and really should see a doctor.
>>736052593>look up persona 5 kawakami dates on youtube to see what the anons are on about>first video is 1 hour 20 minutes
>>736050851Back in 2011 this stupid fox saved me from ruining my life. Loved her ever since.
>>736050851Not specifically no.Im not ashamed to admit i thought karlach in bg3 was hot (only good character) but unless romance in games means nothing to me.
>>736114585That's probably the entire social link not just the dates.
>>736098587i didn't care about most of the characters in S;G. For me the vn is overrated, feels too much like I just fell for hype.
>>736099829Looking back I realize I tend to go for the girls in Persona games who show the most overt affection
>>736118130It makes sense since some of the girls feel like your helping a friend then boom rank 9 confession.
>>736104992skoden stoodis?
>>736050851I mostly don't care about romance IRL. But this ending actually made me feel lonely.

>>736114727cute! where is the best tamamo content fora newbie?
>>736067730this had me cryin
>>736050851Quite a few.If there were ever a time I said to myself "I will never have this" though it would be Eba in Club Suicide. Not exactly for being romantic, but because Eba was horribly relatable with even more horrible bad ends, and he's only pulled out of it because the MC ends up in his life. So I'm just sitting there reading this going "this is just me without my own saviorfag".Although thinking about it now, I guess I had something like that. Just not so much in the way I would've wanted.
>>736050851I still think about them a lot.

>>736127468I read wizard of earthsea in school growing up, was shockingly good
>>736124570I hate myself too, anon
>>736080582Yep. This one. Most of the romances in here are just wish fulfillment with the main protag being a self-insert with no personality. Estelle/Joshua is so good from both sides, especially with the whole light/shadow theme going on.
>>736051757Astrid Lindgren
I really liked that gator.
>>736052721If your waifu isn't constantly stabbing you in all sorts of places she's doing something wrong
>>736068502I see a few problems with this one
>>736050851When Dom found his wife in Gears, I felt
>>736050851Baldurs Gate 2 fucked me up as a kid. Every romance is filled with traumatic shit that a ten year old can't fully cognize. Like Viconia being a fuckpuppet for an evil merchant, that she murdered to escape, only to get tied to a stake and nearly burned to death. Jaheira lost the love of her life and tried to find comfort in your arms, only to push you away as she tries to cope with the loss. Aerie being enslaved by vile scumbags who let her toil in a cage until she nearly died from wingrot and was essentially castrated. Keldorn being a paragon of justice who definitively made the world a better place and risked his life to help the bhaalspawn succeed but who abandoned his wife and kids because he didn't know how to be a husband and father. Anomen being a huge fag. It just goes on and on, that game really did a number on me as a kid.
I need to play more VNs that hit me with despair when I reflect on my own life.
as a teen, it made me want a girlfriend like the girls in the gamesas an adult, its a grim reminder of how no woman is in real life is of any quality
>>736113004Two correct answers, you mean
>>736134285I thought Wani was okayish compared to snoot game. The latters got a lot more personality and charm to it, and the cast is very memorable.
>>736050851The ending to Chaos;Child made me feel empty for a few days
>>736050851I named Rydia in Final Fantasy 2 after my grade school crush and got the ick when she came back older from the Land of Eidolons.
women in games are made by men. so theyre ideal. theyre loving, faithful, fun, flirtacious, pretty, etc.real life women just want you to give money and provide a baby for them.if a girl like yuna in ffx was real, youd have to give lioe 80% of your earned gil and experience to her, then she never puts out until she wants a baby and the game turns into cooking mama half way through
>>736057430>Kris Takahashi apparently loves old, bisexual slags who love to browbeat you over your head about fucking everything, and who believe they are right about absolutely fucking everything, because they're narcissistic mental abusers with God complexes. Huh. Interesting.
>>736060470You just described New Vegas
>>736050851yes, cringe
>>736114287one is simply awareIn witcher 3 I remember choosing to romance Triss, but when Geralt told Yen that the magic's gone I felt a little bad. The redhead wanted to leave for north and only Geralt's simping made her stay. I'd change my choices if I'll ever replay the game, as it is still an eurojank.>>736124882my negro. I played fem V and just chose to help her and be friends, not knowing that a romance option will come up at the lake house. I rejected her but felt absolute shit instantly (reminded too much about real life experiences), but getting the space casino ending made it a fitting choice. Also, considering that V is fucked unless getting the nomads ending, which were too brown coded for me to reach first try.Can't remember any other game, Todd (Emil) can't write romance for shit. Real life romance sucks, it's nothing but pain 0-24. Women can't handle the love a man wants to give, you definitely won't get it back in return, only your mother or grandma loves you unconditionally. Either accept or suffer.
>>736067208Mein neger
>>736050851yesbought Stories From Sol: The Gun Dog and played through it in one 8 hour sittingcried for 20 minutes through the ending, it was great
>>736136913
>>736136972and if you don't count VNs, SIGNALIS also qualifies
>>736080820>men are actually the romantic onesThis is only the case during the first few weeks of a relationship, where men put in all the effort into trying to be as charming and interesting to a girl.After that, they all get used to it and just keep the girl around for sex
>>736137072
baby's first visual novel but i cried everyday for about a month because she was the first character i ever felt romantic attraction towards and it made me depressed that i would never experience it in real life.
>>736080820Men write thousands upon thousands of stories of saving/fighting alongside women ending with a happy-ever-after romance.Women never write about saving men. Any time a woman is the lead and in a position of power she's a lesbian, especially if it's a woman writing it. Women almost never write a straightforward loving romance, it's always drama and cucking and other shit.Men can get by simply by 'loving' a woman. Women will always need something 'more'.

>>736062858came here to say this, space scene was kino.shame about her and seifer though
>>736080582i tried this, holy hell ive never seen worse dialogue than the beginning of this game.i assumed the rest of the game would be as bad
>>736050851Yeah, morrigan, tali, liara, my beloveds.In a vidya is more chill because you dont have to deal with all the bs of a rl romance.In rl I pretend a lot and dont expose much my feelings because these hoes are full of tricks and put us down when they feel like it.
