do you like the romance stories in games?

i have seen such a story in ff8 , will buy a ps2 this october and i hope there are more ramantic factors in rpgs of ps2, fun, i like the romance factor a lot.

Well first of all FF8 is not a PS2 game. Second Oct as in October? Whaaat? And on to the topic yes I like love stories in games as they are another way to help the characters develop unless we are talking about FF games in which the romance is as sofisticated and thoughout as it is in many shoujo animes and manga meaning not at all.

i am more like squall in real life, the romance in that game made me play it, the best romance game story i have seen so far is in either star ocean 2 or wild arms 2 about the heroine was a town character. i learned a few things from these games, on love, the dialogues which have romance on it. i meant romantic dialogues, English is not my mother tongue.

I really don't mind romance in video games, if done well.

As for FFVIII, it really annoyed me how everyone was always trying to get Squall & Rinoa together. I say let them do it on their own.

Romance is good only when it's done right.

Do it wrong like Force Unleashed, it makes me want to break the game disc in half.

Shadow Hearts series is prime example of how to do romance right. Final Fantasy Tactics is another game that did it right (Delita and Ovelia)

Even mediocre romance story is fine with me. It adds decent layer to game like Prince of Persia, but poor romance story is quick way to ruin the entire game.

The love story element of FF10 is why it is one of my favorite games, and I really want to so more romance paths in games like thye have in Mass Effect/Jade Emprie/Dragon Age. It adds a new element to the gameplay and helps immerse you into the characters.

No, never. I hate romance in games, I think books and movies have spoiled me maybe, but if there is one thing a videogame dev can't do right it's romance. Never have I liked a romantic sub plot in a game, they always feels so rigid and unrealisitc in every way, not to mention all I have seen are just cliche after cliche. I could play videogames very happily if there was never a romantic sub plot in any game again. That's just me though.Im_single

I think you just never experianced good romance in games yet.

Play the games I recommended above (Final Fantasy Tactics and first two Shadow Hearts games) and your opinion might change.

Depends on how they are done... as with all other stories, if they are told right, and not really cheesy I like them alot... the kind of heartwarking, a bit naive love story always gets to me ^^

Most lovestories sadly boil down to "Yo! me think you hawt!" reply "oh yeah? I jsut thought the same thing about you too" *snuggie*

which is really really horrible... as if I dont hate those variants enough in movies allready -.-

but then sometime a game comes along with a really heartwarming story about the struggle of insecurity, and not knowing, and hope... How they struggle to find eachother, and figure out what to say or how to say it.

those I really really like :3 Im a sucker for a good love story... but dont tell my friends -.-

Whens its done well like in FFX yes.chadwick1343
