All I want is a game with an older (male) love interest. Was utterly blue-balled by I, Cyborg which gave us Smárason and then made him unromanceable despite all the chemistry there and opportunities that could have been taken. Some people are attracted to older men/women but I feel like games always make the love interests young and beautiful and this depresses me so much because it honestly just makes me feel like people don’t see the handsomeness/beauty in older characters. I have played a LOT of COG and can’t think of one with a love interest you could actually romance who was older (like middle aged.)
Preston or Dan Schmid in Tin Star are not young and there are some others where the age of a person is not mentioned. Since I myself am older, I always imagine the people not classified as a special age, around my age^^
In midsummer night one of the romance is a middle aged/ older knight. I was actually surprised by how good it was when we consider that I usually hate old/young couple. In my version it was a woman but the character sex is changeable.
I just imagine the dudes are my age (but you are right, it’s annoying AF) CURIOUS CUISINE is a wip but has em I think…GRIM AND I and LOVE AT ELEVATION dont specify I think?
Agreed! I would love seeing more mature and wrinklier Romance options. Not just in looks but in personality and life wisdom as well c:
Most of the current romance options are all young and pretty, not everyone’s taste
That’s as much as a problem to me. If something isn’t obvious or commented about, it’s pretty often meaningless
I LIKE that my choices, likes and dislikes are commented about, just like it is in real life
Honestly, @gamesarefun, I feel your pain - and so does my fiancee. We’re always talking about the lack of older men and women to romance in these and other kinds of games. It’s one of the reasons I’m incorporating an older male romance option in Time of Genius. But, I always wonder why it is that these kinds of romance options are avoided. Is it because creators think the majority of their audience is too young to be interested in them? Because, there are plenty of older people playing games in the modern era, and there are plenty of young players that wouldn’t at all mind romancing someone older.
I wonder if it’s more of a case of creators trying not to set up anything uncomfortable or creepy; I know that when I was planning out my older romance option, a big concern of mine was ‘how old is too old?’ But, I’m not sure that’s entirely fair. People want what they want and there is certainly an active interest out there; it’s not like anyone’s being forced to romance a character outside their age range.
I played Blood Money and liked it very much. It would be a really nice thing to have a game with older characters. I do not mind occasionally to play highschool or College kids, the funny part is, often the kids act like grown ups. But perhaps its only me, that was really stupid and strange as a teen.
@Samuel_H_Young thats good to know, the game is nothing for me, but it is nice, that you thought about us elders^^
