Top Five – Ambiguously Gay Duos in Gaming

SFL Chronicle: These are the couples that have been fueling the slash fiction of hundreds of thousands of squealing fangirls for decades now. In most cases it’s just a fantasy pairing, like when girls “slash” Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy together. In some cases though, you’d be hard pressed not to believe some of these characters are conically having buttsecks…

This article is about the top five ambiguously gay duos in gaming: hope you enjoy it!

Yeah Marcus and Dom manage to bring up the phrase 'bromance' more than any other game duo come to think of it

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34677d ago

I've seen a lot of you drool over Sev and Rico, let's not forget to mention that also. I think the series is called Killzone, if any bystander was wondering.

limewax4677d ago (Edited 4677d ago )

Not really sure why you even felt the need to include KZ, I could certainly pick out PS3 games too if it bothers you, just Dom and Marcus come to mind the most.

If I was to be entirely honest I personally hardly had any connection with the KZ cast to pick up any traits like that, I suppose in that way you could say I got more into Gears actually

Edit: actually until KZ3 I couldn't even remember their names

chidori6664677d ago

Fang and Vanille= yuri, vanille is seme and fang is uke... lol

CrescentFang4677d ago (Edited 4677d ago )

Ugh this just reminded me of X Plays (I think that's their name) of MegaMan Maverick Hunter X... Though I've never thought of X and Zero that way lol

SPOILERS for MM Zero 3
The ending for Zero 3 is indescribable... at least do a brofist before leaving...

Pozzle4677d ago

Lol. It's funny Otacon and Snake were mentioned. I remember the first time I played MGS4, my mom (who isn't much of a gamer) was watching it and really getting into the story. Then after a while she started looking at the game with an odd expression and finally said, "wait...is Otacon in love with Snake? He seems to like him a lot more than that doctor lady."

Myst4677d ago

Technically can't you say female warden and Leliana, F. Hawke x Isabela, F.Hawke x Merrill, M.Hawke x Fenris, etc, etc...I've seen a lot of the F.Hawke x Isabela artwork on Deviantart and some stories.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro83d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7283d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_83d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga83d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2383d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200083d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin83d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole83d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix83d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198983d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972160d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus160d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda159d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B158d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981159d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot158d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda158d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot158d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy158d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay158d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12160d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay158d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB159d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
