Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps

Ilixtze@lemmy.ml ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

We need videogame romances where you are both so enanored every answer is stupid and cringe but to them it’s the most romantic thing ever. Also the sex is silly and awkward and kinda gross, but they both have fun laugh and enjoy it.

Gamers aren’t ready for that level of realism.

  Dialog wheel: “You are cuter!”
  
  “No! You are cute” -----> “You are the cutest!”
  
  "You are my cutie pie!"
  
  Party rolls a D20 to avoid dying of cringe

  There comes a point where it is too real, and when the loading screen comes up and you see yourself in the reflection of the screen, that’s going to create a really negative experience for a lot of people, not just gamers.
  
  Which is why everyone should just play on anti-glare screens! They aren’t reflective enough for that to happen!

I heard about a very silly, cartoony game that applies this as a basis: Buster Jam. The two leads are in a relationship, but it doesn’t affect their lazy heroic dynamic in any way. Funny to have a villain remark “…you and your GIRLFRIEND…” and not get corrected.
