I do, yeah. I genuinely think it adds a huge amount to RPGs especially. It's a great way to help the player feel more immersed in the world, to be invested in the characters, and to add stakes to their goals. It also makes for a lot of replayability to see the different kinds of relationships and how they can play out in the end. I know there's a vocal group that hate when games have romance aspects, but then you look at some of the most popular/still discussed games to this day, and they often have some kind of romance. Not every game has to have it, nor is it appropriate for every story, but it really can add to the experience.

It's why I think the new trailer for Outer Worlds 2 is fucking hilarious honestly. They're introducing all the different companions and then make it a point to say you can't sleep with them. As if that was some big selling point to have less interaction with your companions you'll be traveling the galaxy with. Regardless of what opinions people have her about it, Baldur's Gate 3 benefited immensely from having in-depth romance systems and is still talked about because of them even more than the actual gameplay/story. I don't really get the idea of advertising the lack of romance in a game.

People jerk off BG3 like some sort of woke success but the game's biggest selling point was always the fact that it doubles as a dating simulator. I never see anyone discuss the gameplay in that game, and whenever people talk about the story it's always about how much they think the story is retarded

I grew up seeing VHS turn into disks and now janky TV buy guides anon.
I saw the last of having to go to a library, physically search for a random book on a subject, read it, and use it to write a report on that subject.
Gameboy played in the car under the streetlights and nearby gas stations.
Listened to my teachers favorite music on record player and got to play on his old deluxe pong console.

All of that goodness that I only experienced a fraction of... and I had a man twice my age come up to me at work a few years back and apologize for his generation essentially fucking over the world before "us kids" could come and try to make it any better or worse.

We cannot preserve the good times.
But we can help make sure that other people remember them in some form, and hopefully one day seek to recreate them in spirit.

we need something like this made with samus.

I'm autistic but every romance in games, books or movies seems cringe to me. Like unless its overtly sex I can't get in to it because it all seems forced.

Although oddly enough I did like the Hunger games romance because it was in a sense forced in an acting way that became legit.

I consider spartan IVs to be the only acceptable execution of that idea.
from a military standpoint its a perfect refinement.
They needed something better than the ODSTs, but the II's were too expensive, with too many ethical concerns, and were being forced to be expendable to a degree anyways, all while there wasnt enough of them and too high a mortality rate.
never mind the VERY limited finite supply that was quickly exhausted.
The IVs solved so many issues.
Procurement from the existing armed forces lowered training time, increased relations between military branches, provided an extra reward system to reassign overqualified individuals, was less expensive, and let them field far more troops across the always-understaffed territory.
That is an excellent example of refining the balance of quality vs quantity to the point where it fits their needs.

The IIIs are retarded from head to toe.
Magic drugs?
The retard who HATED the program, tried to sabotage it, and got reassigned to the front by cortana-hacking is suddenly in CHARGE of it?????

He does, but it's not shown in game to the player at any point, particularly his helmet. CE ends with him taking the helmet off, but our view being blocked as the camera pans away from the cockpit of the longsword, Halo 2 starts with him putting the MK VI helmet on having gotten an entirely new set. None of that in Halo 3.
>I he some sort of cyborg, or some shit?
Yes, but the only mechanical augmentation he has is a neural link that wires him into his armor and lets Cortana get inside his head. The rest of his augmentations are surgical and chemical alterations, he doesn't have robot arms, legs or organs or anything.

halo 4 ending shows his face very briefly.
he is a Caucasian gone albino from all his time in the suit.
all military personnel get some limited brain cyborg stuff, but thats mostly for interfacing with equipment and tracking their identity.
most of his enhancements are surgical and a mix of organic and somewhat mechanical.
his bones have a metal lattice and his nerves were replaced with shielded super conductors, and thats the only non-organic shit I can think of.

his suit has some crazy liquid metal tech that amplifies motion.
It would and DID tear apart a normal human as they tried to get used to it, but they made it work for the Spartans with their more durable bodies.

its entirely base on your body movements.
it amplifies the speed and force, the start and stop, to the point where it will break a normal guys bones from the impact.

the shit about the helmet you are thinking of is something from the game some theory crafters decided was plausible because of how heavy the helmet would have been.

I don't like "romance" in western games and I unironically don't understand who the target audience for it is. some people might say anime games like this are "cringe" or "for incels" but at least that's an actual demographic and you can clearly see the game is trying to appeal to them. who exactly is the target audience for "romance" in games like baldur's gate 3 or owlkek games where your "heroines" are all cunts with busted faces who cuck you and disrespect you? it's like the writers are more concerned with making characters that are ideologically kosher than they are with making them likeable. this isn't surprising considering the state of western developers, but what is surprising is that they apparently have an audience for it. who the fuck are you people?

According to Fall of Reach, the problem is that normal ass human nerves can't send signals precise enough to have the suit work normally, so any motion a regular human makes is dialed up way past 11 when it's sent through the neural lace to the suit musculature, and because the musculature is really fucking powerful, it makes motions well beyond normal human physiological tolerances.

It's because they "write what they know". All the women they know are turbowhores, and they have been conditioned to look down on purity and homeliness, niceness, attractiveness etc. Just look at the seething rage they display when a woman shows up who actually tries to be appealing in a traditional sense instead of just being a prostitute. Even if it's fake they immediately lash out with accusations of being a "pickme". And when these girls are fictional, they just accuse you of being an oppressive problematic incel for not portraying a REAL woman (aka. an insufferable ugly cunt). It's because their culture is moral decay, so they feel the need to impose it on everyone else.

Go read the actual list of augmentations, there is nothing genetic about any of them. It's all surgical/chemical. The only genetic thing about the spartans was Halsey's requirements for certain genetic markers already present in the candidates. I will not be taking any of what you said seriously because if the writers can't tell the difference between lactase and lactate, then I'm certain they don't know what genes are.

>The Pillar of Autumn is a Halcyon-class warship that has seen decades of service. An aging but sturdy vessel, and one of the smallest cruisers in the human fleet, the military High Command chose it specifically as an inconspicuous launch pad for a covert offensive against the Covenant. Genetically-engineered cyborg soldiers in state-of-the-art battle suits were supposed to board a Covenant vessel and locate the Covenant home world. A surprise Covenant attack on the human military base on the planet Reach annihilated all but one of the SPARTAN-II soldiers. Known only by his rank of Master Chief, this SPARTAN-II was stored in a cryosleep chamber on the Pillar of Autumn shortly before the ship made a blind jump across the galaxy in a desperate effort to lead the Covenant away from Earth. The Master Chief is easily the best soldier aboard the Pillar of Autumn, but many of the human military’s finest also call the ship home.
I also found this in the section about the Pillar of Autumn. It seems that there was a lot of back and forth between bungie and the book writers on what was happening, and considering what Reach turned into with its' retcons that destroys the books (For example: Halsey knowing about the S-III program in the game), yeah it seems there was a lot of miscommunication or at the very least the two parties doing their own thing. My take on all of this is that you use whatever material you like better. I like the Spartan-IIs being part machine part genetic enhancement, shows why making one was so hard.

It isn't the emotional responses themselves, it's how they're channeled. Egalitarianism practiced through emotional reasoning ends up with man-made horrors beyond your comprehension because emotional reasoning only cares about what "feels good", and what feels good to an egalitarian is the maximal degree of personal freedom. You know what also feels good? Doing loads and loads of heroin. It isn't good for you, but it feels good.

Egalitarian society only works when emotional and logical reasoning are well balanced with each other, but this isn't the case today. Emotional reasoning is highly favoured, so everything attached to logical reasoning, such as critical thinking suffers and is demphasised in education, leading each successive generation to be more emotional and less logical.

the idea you are talking about was done with the spartan IVs, as I said.
everything the spartan IIs were going through before they got shields proved that the armor simply could not be skimped on due to the need for survivability.
IVs approached it by looking for a major redesign to achieve similar if not better results, and found it. which makes sense given the slapdash nature of the spartan II mjolnrs, ESPECIALLY the shields.

Anon, normies may know that GTA and FIFA are games. But they don't know what BG3 is. That game is only played by gamers, and I mean a very specific type of gamer. Demographics are a thing, you know? It's more likely that a Nintendo fan will buy a children's game on Nintendo, a PS fan will buy a sports game, and an XBOX fan will buy a shooter. In the case of PC RTS, Sims, and CRPGs are still the biggest games on the platform. Eurotruck 2 outsold console racers like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo. It's not normies who bought BG3.

If you are talking about 40k, there is a lot of differences.
For one, the creation of a Space Marine really isn't that secret, the recruits are not kidnapped and cloned (In fact, certain planets openly accept SM recruiting) and the procedure is robust enough that there is a sizable number of them to run around vs the 75 Spartan IIs.

I'm going to be realistic with you, the most excitement I got out of Halo was before it was an FPS series owned by Halo. After Microsoft brought it and it turned into a dumbed down shooter that wasn't even as good as other console shooters, my hype for the series derailed and never recovered still remembering those earlier trailers on PC and MAC.

Romance has been always seen as "lame" and "embarrassing" in gaming circles, only just recently people have been more open to the idea on mainstream game circles. Hell, even on more "hardcore gamer" side people laugh at waifu/husbando stuff alone(In /v/ as well these days), and people who liked dating sims and VNs were never seen as "real gamers" and the whole romance aspect was thrown out of discussion because of it.

Romance in general has been "for girls" as long as I remember. And if you try to "pander to girls" with romance in games... Well, you know how /v/ reacts to any pandering when it's not towards /v/(idpol right-wing views, capitalism, racism, wojaks/pepe/soijak stuff). Honestly a reason why I never even try to join any kind of waifu or vn or dating sim kind of discussion on /v/. Well I did once but when I posted about KS I got a 3 day vacation.

You can tell 2 is rushed but has memorable highlights. 3 is also rushed and gets a rushed story to end it off but has some good set pieces. ODST has an interesting framing device. Reach is pretty standard stuff. Halo Wars is pretty easy by RTS standards, but a fun time. Do not go beyond this point.

I absolutely do.
When it's executed well.

By well I don't mean "It HAS to be pedestrian and normal." I mean the chemistry has to be exactly right and the story has to be fantastical. I've written better romance shitposts and gotten bigger and better reactions from a wider audience than some of the dog shit romances you see in vidya.

One of the most annoying examples that people tout as a "great vidya romance" is Aeris and Cloud." FUCK OFF. Did you actually play the fucking game? There's practically no chemistry at all. Same with Cloud and Tifa. Kitase and Nojima are stunted by their horrific "hurr durr so honoraburu express feering is baddu" Japanese upbringing. Most other romances you see in vidya are tumblr-tier fanfic slop. It's like they never loved a woman before. But then a lot of stories in vidya these days are written by women and as much as I like women they can't tell a fucking story to save their lives and their sensibilities on romance are so warped that everything looks like a replay of when they were 7 years old and they were mashing their barbie doll against their big brothers action man and yelling "UNGH! YEAH! YOURE SO HOT! YUM YUM!"

So actually? No. I don't like romance in vidya because it's written so fucking badly that I can't think of a single example of "good"

FF7? Shit
FF8? Shit
FF9? Shit
FF10? Shit
Every LN? Shit

Not one. Not a single one can make my heart soften or my dick harden. It's all cuckoldry, oblivious hero, forced dog shit. It makes me wonder what the hell other peoples relationships or their desires in a partner even look like.

he threw a massive bitch fit over the MC augments not being genetic, because that was tossed after Bungie asked Nylund to write the first book, then people in bungie got mad about that and wanted to change it back despite all the cool lore behind the non-genetic enhancements.
this bitch threw a massive fit, declared all books trash, said only stuff in the game counted, whipped out stuff NOT in the game, started whipping out LATER books, and finally random youtube lore videos, all because he is THAT much of a loser.

basically this is an old split within the fandom because people liked what bungie originally came up with for its deeper lore.

It actually wasn't, all the augmentations in the book are described to be surgical and chemical, not genetic tampering.

Yes, reddit trannies actually believe Spartan-IIs were never genetically enhanced when every lore forum even says otherwise. Everyone knows those retards don't know shit about Halo lore game or otherwise and put their mental illness as the canon of the series. This is why they argue over Human/Forerunner lore thinking Bungie changed the canon of their own game from some non-canon Terminals.

It's even funnier when you realise the writers at Bungie and Nylund himself don't even really have a good grasp on what these terms even mean. In Fall of Reach, one of the augmentations is said to increase Lactase recovery, which is an enzyme used to digest Lactose, found in milk. The proper term is Lactate, or Lactic Acid, a byproduct of muscle function.

The surgical and chemical augmentations may truly have been considered "genetic engineering", that's how a lot of sci-fi was then, inaccurate.

They're not even canon in 343's lore, they stated this themselves and purposely retconned them in Halo 4 and their Forerunner books. In other words, Bungie's lore from 2001-2010 is Humans = Forerunner, 343's lore is they're separate with a common ancestor.

I'm not a 343 apologist, I'm just remarking on the disconnect between the Terminal team and the game development team. We've know for years the two had different ideas about who the Forerunners were, and management flubbed it by not correcting the Terminal team because Frankie was on his own page regarding the Forerunners.

i dont get whats going on. is it a mutually beneficial relationship based on both partners using a facade to take advantage of the other?

dunno why they have to be married if one is a fugitive and the other extracts sustenance through coitus. marriage wont stop the cops from recognizing and apprehending him and likewise marriage isnt a requirement to engage is sex (I'd say its far more likely to happen OUT of wedlock as a matter of fact)

maybe I dont understand enough from the comic but it seems like a superficial situation.

a scenario that would make more sense for me would be if both needed an impromptu engagement to happen in order to secure some sort of promotion or enact some inheritance plan or magic ritual.

People often extrapolate to the worst possible endstate of circumstances, but ecologies (society is an ecosystem) never actually reaches that level because the ecolsystem cannot sustain the conditions long enough for it to get that bad. Like carrying capacity, society has an upper tolerance level for chicanery before self correcting that is far lower than the levels of chicanery you're extrapolating to.

We're already seeing rubberbanding to protect core interests, younger generations are rejecting the foibles of older generations, puritanism regarding porn and substances is on the rise and will only grow. Once the Baby Boomers cease to be politically relevant in the next ten or twenty years, matters will shift the other way.
