Why A Video Game Blockbuster Will Finally Allow You To Be A Gay Man

In the video game adventures of Commander Shepard, being a gay man was neither a matter of biology nor choice.

It was a matter of programming. And the programming of Shepard's first video game, 2007's Mass Effect, made being gay impossible.

Quick, someone call Fox news!

Fox News are the best video game critics in the industry....JK

Long as I'm not punish/penalized for rejecting a guy's advances I don't care.

I thought there were a couple of games that already allowed for Gay relationships.

I know several MMO's allow for it and the Sims i think.

Being Gay is NO BIG deal, it happens!

People get all bent outta shape over homosexuals.

Now Child molesters that's something to get angry, grab pitch forks, and riot about.

Someone obviously hasn't played Dragon Age: Origins if having the option to have a homosexual relationship in a BioWare game is news.

mabreu4455d ago (Edited 4455d ago )

True and also Skyrim. But Mass Effect will likely get attention to Fox news. I wouldn't be surprised if they posted a picture of COD instead of Mass effect.

On topic: Great to see gamers being able to talk about homosexuality without adolescent lesbo-drooling or inane buttsex jokes

DA isn't really as big as ME. Like I never saw trailers for DA on tv but I see a trailer for ME at least every other hour. I mean, I didn't even know Bioware made DA till Origins came out.

So it's a bit bigger news than that.

I just don't really care for how it'd kinda mess with canon. After Ashley and all the girls in ME2, he's suddenly gonna be hit on by guys? I don't know but I guess we should just trust Bioware.

hurrr durr incestt!@ pedos! beastiality!

jk of course. but some people...

As long as they don't make it as bad as Dragon Age 2. That game was really, really gay. Literally. Felt uncomfortable and awkward the entire playthrough. A toggle option in the settings to hide such stuff would be nice. I don't want to think of Garrus as being gay, ever. Sorry if's insulting but its just how I feel.

I guess we now have another option for the type of sound track that could be played in the background. During this years Democratic election party meetings. At break time, some of the staff will now have the option to play Mass Effect 3 in "another galaxy". Meanwhile, it may help promote and support their social special interests group buddies. LOL

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox349d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.

Snowb420549d ago

If you get your readiness level high enough in Mass Effect 3, *spoilers* you can see Shepard taking in a breath of air under some rubble. It would depend on whichever ending is canon.

@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
