And it's a plus if it's a well written story in any game.

Cloudberry5706d ago

Eh...

Average list, in my opinion.

But then again...

I don't recall great romance stories that much in video games.

I enjoyed them, but...

I don't think any of them are memorable enough for me to cherished it... : /

And I disagree with this pair: Aya Brea and Kyle Madigan.

*VOMITS* I really hate Kyle in Parasite Eve 2. >: (

Aya could get better man than him.

Theoneneo815706d ago

Naomi and and Ocelot should be on there too.

TheLastGuardian5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

You call this a romance?

hot4play5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

Where's Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher (Uncharted)?

or Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong (Resident Evil 2, 4)?

@Theoneneo81

I think you mean "Naomi and OTACON" from MGS4? Although I'd like to think that Snake and Meryl (MGS1) would be a better fit... :)

Agreed - Drake and Elena was a really well writeen, sweet story - especially in the context of a shooter-adventure game. Should have been in a list like this.

"And it's a plus if it's a well written story in any game."

A rare occasion.
Few examples, however, comprise MGS(1-4), BioShock, Halo 1-3 as a whole.

socofsnails5706d ago

I'm not sure there's much real "Romance" in Bioshock. The first game had Diane McClintock, but both of those ended rather badly.

zeddy5706d ago

squall n rinoa no competition.

R0me5706d ago

Agreed. Their dialogues are priceless.

FFX cant even get close, the kissing scene is just over the top.

Tony P5706d ago

My number one is FFX.

I've never played any other game where I even remotely cared if the two characters got together. Past or present.

Top 10 this, top ten that... Bla bla bla. What's with the news? Where's the actual news!?

Urmomlol5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

It's Sunday. Since when was news released on Sunday?

OMFG! WHY DIDNT MY COPY OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ARRIVE TODAY?

Sheesh. Get a grip.

Maybe you've not been a member of N4G long, have you? Actual 'news' is almost non-existent on this site.

From time to time, something that actually resembles news will be posted (companies merge, company breaks up, new game announced, beta info, leaked footage, etc).

But odds are if you click any random article, it'll be filed under opinion piece; which, by definition, is not news. Even if it is not filed under opinion piece, it likely is an opinion piece.

wedgie5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

There are quite a few that I think that I like more. Off the top of my head I really like Nate and Elena from Uncharted-mostly because they seem natural and have funny banter.

*SPOILERS* (but is from FF7, so you should probably have played it by now)

And I also disagree with Cloud and Aeris. This is the subject of many a debate, but Cloud and Tifa are, in my opinion much better. Aeris annoyed me and I never brought her with me. So I did not really care when she died. Tifa kicked butt and was cool. And saved Cloud and various other things.

And it does not matter anymore because she died so he should just deal with it. He can not really do anything about it now.

Da One5706d ago

after the events of FFVII start to occur and Aries/Zack were a true couple for the FFVII universe, seeing how she comforted zack as he cried. Also she knew exactly when died.......CC ending was very well done

forevercloud30005706d ago

I agree with Nate and Elena,they are one of my favorite power couples.

Totally disagree about Aeris. I hate it when someone says someone is annoying with no possible basis for it. She didn't talk in FFVII so it can't be her voice. She does nothing but help Cloud get over the girl who never gave him the time of day(Tifa), Aeris was way too good for him and almost eerily seemed to be exactly what he needed/wanted. It wasn't until after he had found love in someone else and lost it did Tifa realize her true feelings for Cloud.

Don't get me wrong, Tifa kicks ass! Yet Aeris was just as cool. How awesome is it having a girlfriend who is one with the planet and can save your skinny ass anytime you are in REAL trouble? thats Aeris for you :)

TheColbertinator5706d ago

Cloud and Sephiroth <3

Those two were meant for each other XD

Edward-Kraken5706d ago

You mean Omnislash and Ruby Weapon. :)

forevercloud30005706d ago

Dude I hate you for saying that but nevertheless, it was funny LOL.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio25d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing25d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit25d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing25d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
