Persona 5

Romance is extremely cringe in games in general. I always skip it if possible

>>718201783 (OP)
>be straight
What options?

>>718201908
i always skip if its a quest-based game because if it isnt a linear narrative then it always comes with the drawback that you'll reach the end of the romance questline and they turn into some static npc

>>718201908
Based. It always come off cringy as fuck and I can't imagine what goes on in the lives of people who genuinely want extensive romance shit in games.

>>718201856
>>718201861
those games give you choices and have attractive women so you're both wrong

>>718201997
Im always surprised that people get any form of gratification from playing these romance scenes that some random nerds have written for you

>>718201908
same, it was a fun waifu simulator when i was younger, now it's just "can we just get back to the corporate espionage already?"

>>718201908
>>718201997
It works when it's written well and adds more to the story like in Mass Effect and isn't just something to be parasocial for a fictional character, also it just adds some spice to the game imo makes my pp hard on the side while im enjoying the game

>Kurwa my son ... you get brown bitchy biker woman with big ass but with terrible voice acting you don't get no more other attractive woman in a game with hypersexualized future

>couldn't fuck Bluemoon or that one Monx bouncer
Poles are gay.

>>718201783 (OP)
The problem is the lack of choice. For a straight male V is panam or no one

>>718201861
this.

>>718204216
hopefully cdpr learns that most of their audience wants straight or bi girls not the other

Honestly, I don't think most games have good romance or romance choices. Maybe I'm just picky, but the choices given are almost never ever characters I actually like.

>>718201908
romance brought the gays and women into gaming

>>718201783 (OP)
Baldur's Gate 3

>>718201861
nah, games with romanceable teachers are great

>>718201783 (OP)
any other game with romance options

>>718201783 (OP)
It's absolutely outrageous that you can't romance Rita.

>>718201861
Persona series is really solid in romance choices. It's literally one of the highest rated things about why everyone plays them. I would actually say Fire Emblem Awakening just because there is very few.

>>718201975
If you're a man:
-Main romance is Panam
-Short fling with Meredith
-Asian Female Prostitute
-White Female Prostitute

If you're a woman:
-Main romance is River
-Asian Male Prostitute
-Black Male Prostitute

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

>>718204393
nah you get
>cute emo girl
>cute frog girl
>cute demon girl
>kinda hot purple bitch
>hot devil woman for a fling

nah id say they're solid only thing they should've done instead of making astarion a faggot they should've made him a vampire goth girl instead

>>718204979
Well if you're Bi or Gay, Male V can also have Kerry and the prostitutes I just mentioned, and Female V can have Latina girl whose name I forgot just that quick, and the female prostitutes I just mentioned

>>718205309
Nobody but 0.1% of people want gay shit
maybe a quarter for the lesbo but the majority want straight shit

>save saul
>panam gets all flirty and uses you as a foot rest
>then cock blocks you
what in gods name is this writing

>>718205309
I almost forgot, it's possible to romance Judy as Male V too, but you're gonna need to hack that in.

>>718205142
>kinda hot
In Menzoberranzan...

>>718205785
the most unrealistic part of this game is that an attractive latina girl that works for a group of whores would be a exclusively a dyke when that's not how that works irl

This.

>>718201908
I'm doing a no romance playthrough of Veilguard right now and it feels much better
Maybe it sounds gay, but choosing and doing the romances in these games is mentally exhausting. It's nice to just not deal with it at all

Daily reminder that Bae'Zel is better than your favorite romance.

>Name a game with worse romance choices

>>718207259
game doesn't have options so it doesn't count
ds2 and ds3 had your fire keeper waifus and they're both perfect

>>718201783 (OP)
>4 choices
>both males are bisexual
>1 girl is lesbian
>1 girl is straight
Why the devs just didn't make everyone bi is weird
You interact with the 2 females way more than the 2 males but you're hard locked in your choice depending on your MC's sex is wild

>>718201783 (OP)
Expedition 33, you can't romance the only attractive girl

>>718201856
Calling skyrims marriage system "romance" is a stretch.

>>718201783 (OP)
>cant fuck songbird
>cant fuck the president
Shit expansion. Shit game.

>>718201908
>>718202474
No matter how well written it is, you will eventually run out of new dialogue or new scenes and the same interaction loop will repeat indefinitely

>>718209350
removing options due to pandering is the worst thing you can do to a game. especially for a fucking "rpg"

>>718204827
>Main romance is River
I'm a dude and River gave me the ick, so he surely dries pussies from miles away

>>718209502
True mass effect needed more sex scenes not less

>>718209502
you aren't supposed to play the game forever
romances aren't' supposed to be endlessly ai generated like a wife simulator,

>>718201861
Pretty much. They’re all cookie cutter weebshit tropes. Surprised they didn’t have a tsundere too

>>718209580
Ironically river is more what gay dudes would be into and kerry is what women would prefer.

>>718209489
How do we get CDPR to implement it

>>718201861
at least Persona 5 had tae, sae(unromancable) and...
fuck guess you're right

>>718209502
That's a fucking retarded argument. Romance in books or movies also doesn't feature infinite dialogue or scenes, should romance be gutted from those stories? Good romance within the confines of a main story can be good, as all it usually does is add extra dimensions to the characters and story.

>>718210161
In books and movies is different since they are finite and without zero interactability, in games Panam will call you to say she waits for you in your apartment, you go and do all the new prompts, after an hour of playing Panam will say again she is waiting for you, but all the scenes are the fucking same, it breaks immersion

If Cyberpunk was made in the dudebro era we'd have kino romances

>>718209772
>endlessly ai generated like a wife simulator

The irl wife simulator doesn't have endlessly generated romance either...

>>718210462
CP2077 is not an example of good romance, and even if it was, content like that is not within the confines of the main story, so it doesn't apply to my argument.

>>718210462
again romance sucks because you only get one straight option as canon v

>>718201908
Based. Fuck Jeneffer

NWN2. You can't romance Neeshka. You can't romance Qara. You can't romance Shandra. Game tease you with devil cocksleeve, brat than needs cock correction and titty farmer. AND YOU GET FUCKING NOTHING.

How pathetic you should be to list here a game with ability to romance twins.
