Bromances are defined by an intense, loving relationship between men that is not sexual(much to the frustration of shippers). From Gilgamesh and Enkidu to Riggs and Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon, bromances in storytelling are used to reveal the heart and emotion of otherwise impenetrably macho characters. Video games are hardly an exception to this trope, possessing some of the most intense friendships in any medium. So without further delay, let’s try to keep our minds out of the gutter long enough to discuss, in this writer’s humble opinion, the top ten bromances in gaming! Some spoilers ahead.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Marcus x Dom... True Romance
Except Kaz and Big Boss literally went on a date and had implied sex in Peace Walker. Kinda a bit sexual, much to the frustration of people can't handle gay ships.
Does Sully and Nate count? Or is that more of a father/son relationship?
Kaz and BB are a grey area for certain, but I couldn't not them a nod.
Also it's safe to assume everybody on the list at least kissed to break the tension once
