Gay romances confirmed for Mass Effect 3

What is an 11 year old doing playing GTA anyways? I love how people want to remove stuff from games, so that people who want the stuff in can't even have it, and then use the reasoning that it's bad for children. Completely overlooking the fact that if you actually enforce the age restriction, it would also solve the 'problem'.

BioWare should really mess with gamer's heads on this one. Gamer's are sluts for big in-game item rewards - we'll go out of our way to grind for hours if it will give us an advantage in the next segment of the game. How about rewarding those who engage in a homosexual relationship with a really powerful gun? Something that the 'straight' players cannot get their hands on.

I await the shitstorm of a response

Would it have a serial number including the letters E-PN?

These sex scenes in games whether it be gay, straight or lesbian is totally overrated. Isn't that what porn is supposed to be for...?
Games should be about GAMING and pushing the development boundries to bring us new and facemetling graphics experiences. But thats just my opinion.

Short-sighted opinion.

Not everyone plays games for an action-fest. Many, such as myself, play for the depth of shaping a story around your choices with consequences and non-linearity. Romance plays a part in that.

I find it more enjoyable than reading (granted, I do love to read as well) purely because I can shape a story and events around my character as well as decide how my character interacts with the world.

Graphics? If all you care about is the graphical appeal of a game then you've missed out on some brilliant gems.

Also, romance in a game does not equate with porn. It isn't there to "get off to" unless, of course, that is that you also get off to every bit of intimacy you see on TV, in movies or in adverts?

+1 to rep
I love some romance in games.

if the romance is done well it actually adds to the over feel and believablilty of the story.

so if you got a problem with it, just don't pursue the romances...

[Rockstar]

agree 100% Tank.

Glad to see some forward thinking and openness in gaming. The key word here is choice in the game and if it offends you simply don't follow that plot line or don't buy the game. Thinking that homosexuality is wrong is so 1900.
