Platform-Online: "It’s Valentine’s Day, and the popular choice is to dig into a box of chocolates and put their feet up and watch a soppy rom-com. Although video games aren’t really renowned for having much to do in the way of romance, many people are surprised to see that video games can tell some of the best love stories out there. So, for Valentine’s Day, here are my top ten love stories in video games."

I'd have to say my personal favorite is Zidane and Dagger from Final Fantasy IX :)

MWH3745d ago

in all gaming? if so, then lame.

Aleithian3745d ago

Yeah, that was a pretty crappy list.

sammyspam3745d ago

Reading this list I was fairly disappointed in the featured ones but I struggled to think about any better ones, either there isn't enough romance in video games or I'm not playing them.

Aleithian3745d ago

I can think of a few that deserve a mention. I'm not distinguishing between successful and unsuccessful love stories, but am focusing on the depth of the love and the skill with which it is portrayed.

- Solid Snake & Meryl (MGS)
- Otacon & Sniper Wolf (MGS)
- Cloud Strife & Aeris/Tifa (FFVII)
- Main character & Morrigan (Dragon Age)

Agent20093745d ago

Naked Snake & Eva (MGS3)
Meryl & Akiba (MGS4)
Big Boss & Paz (MGS:PW)

Tex1173745d ago

Johnny and River? No Johnny and River from TO THE MOON?!

Yeah, list is BS

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa3d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran831d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto30d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia31d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger31d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie31d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos31d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie31d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh31d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming36d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long36d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10136d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor36d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6936d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno36d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
