Holy insecurity Batman. If your partner thinks your character being in a relationship in a video game is cheating, then that sounds like their problem.
Narrative should be flipped. Those people playing the games should be reconsidering their relationship because of how insecure their partner is.
Seriously. I mean, maybe talk things out before going nuclear, but don't accept such controlling behavior as okay. A little therapy can go a long way.
Sure, there are some people who have unhealthy relationships with video games (and fiction in general), and that shouldn't automatically get a pass. I've seen some crazy shit in the Baldur's Gate 3 community. But for the vast majority it's just a game. I mean, I'm not going to fuck a bear, a half-devil, or a squid in real life. I promise.
Maybe don't look up The Dream Of The Fisherman's Wife by Hokusai (yes the guy who did the really famous Great Wave) in case it awakens something in you (okay that's octopi not squid, but...)
NGL, the half-devil is worth it for the memories, but definitely not long-term.
I guess Rockstar took a lesson from Starfield and is trying to make every aspect of the game as tedious as possible?
Couuuusssiin!
Wanna go bowling?
Hell yeah I do Roman!
I guess if you want to think of it that way? You had to take care of your horse in RDR2 as well but it never felt tedious like Starfield, it felt like immersion.
Yeah, there's good ways to do it.
Personally, I don´t like GTA after Vice City (San Andreas on) exactly because it gets bogged down in simulating the aspects of life I'd either rather do in in real life or avoid entirely. A high maintenance GF falls into the latter category.
I really hope it's presented as a graphic novel mini game.
My wife helped me to romance Abigail in Stardew Valley.
Sounds like Rockstar paid tiktokers to push hype lines.
Lonely men who are likely the demographic being offered less loneliness when in reality. It's just a dumb game with hookers that was once about cars.
