r/gaymers

I’m not someone who considers himself a sci-fi fan. This genre never really caught my interest. I would have never imagined myself playing a series like Mass Effect.

Until I saw a random gif of Kaidan and MaleShep’s romance sex scene from Mass Effect 3 and it caught my attention and I read a bit about the game and the possibility of a gay romance and I made the decision to purchase the game. And now it’s one of my favourite franchises of all time despite a gay romance pathway not available in the first 2 games.

Same goes for games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Final Fantasy XVI. I love fantasy but I came to know about the games because of the discussion surrounding a potential gay romance in DAI and the presence of a prominent gay side character in FFXVI.

I’m not saying every game needs to have gay or bisexual characters or a queer romance option but I really don’t think it hurts company sales to have them included. Quite the opposite, I believe companies have more to gain because the close-minded will complain regardless of what you do, the remaining audience will not really care and the queer community will see themselves represented in video games. Same goes for other mediums such as comics, movies or series. Again not every game or medium needs to have queer characters but overall I believe people underestimate how many gay or bisexual people exist in any given society and the percentage they represent.

I’m not sure we’ll ever see a massively popular game centered around an exclusively gay or bi male protagonist, but representation matters greatly and benefits everyone, even corporations who couldn’t give a shit about queer people and play the representation card as a PR stunt.

I'm 33m looking for other people who also enjoy single player games for discussion or to even share around ideas of what games to play. I get co-op is an awesome experience as well, but I'm more into single player experiences. Looking to talk and discuss different games in detail or to even chat about theories the games may leave players wondering on. If that would be interesting to you please let me know!

I've seen lots of discourse surrounding this game, with lots people saying that it's awful or it's a "industry plant" (don't know how can a game be one tbh)

I haven't played but i'm curious if it's actually a bad game or is it another case of people shiting on something because they are not the target demographic for it

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade (Remake +
DLC) ~22$

Or

DMC Bundle (1, 2, 3SE, 4SE) + DMC 5SE
~28$

I'm generally a single-player, narrative-driven type of person. The bulk of the games I've played are Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Hitman WOA, Bioshock, Witcher 3, Spider-Man, Arkham Games, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Mafia, Resident Evil 2 Remake and some platformers here and there.

I know nothing about the games. I watched some gameplay for both but couldn't really pinpoint the pros and cons of each game.

Looking for either a strong narrative and strong characters or strong gameplay with a serviceable story line. Or ideally both.

Would appreciate some input or feedback on either game.

Yuu can suggest more games in the comments if you know any

Hiya 👋

I'm a trans guy from Scotland.. I'm an introverted gamer person lol and do enjoy just talking about gaming in general.

I'm looking for friends to play games with.. mainly pc gamer. On pc (mostly on Steam) I play games like

Warhammer Marine 2/Darktide, REPO, PEAK, Minecraft, Warframe, Elder scrolls online and many more.

I do have a playstation 5 with playstation plus but I don't have as many games on there but don't mind playing together on there.

I must warn you about the fact that I'm mostly only available on Sunday and maybe the odd mid week day like Wednesday or such but not always.

If interested can comment here or DM

Heyhey you! I‘m an enby guy named Bobby, 22yrs old and looking for a genuine guy-friend that I can share sexual intimacy with (so a fwb). I live in the canton of Zürich (Switzerland) and would like to meet someone with shared interests that is within proximity to also spend quality time in person together.

So lemme sell you on this neat ride, no pun intended haha. I‘m a pc and switch gamer, currently enjoying games from overwatch to corekeeper/stardew/terraria to party and rpg / open world kind of games. I am as chaotic as adhd jesters get; wether i‘m setting the world ablaze in a pyromanic frenzy or end up fighting an endboss with nothing more than a lvl 1 twig and a leaf-shield to my name. I‘m pretty, let‘s call it „lively and entertaining“ to be around…

Outside of gaming i‘m very creative. I enjoy singing, making my own music, storytelling and painting. I love the outdoors. I serve the funniest falls when i‘m surfing waves or twisting on my roller-skates. I recently started going to the gym more frequently and want to be more intentional with health and fitness so a gym buddy would be a blessing. Will I occasionally distract us from our workouts? absolutely. Will it be worth it every second of it? „Don‘t be ridiculous, Andrea.“ To quote one of the greats here ahha.

I also recently realized that I‘m very interested in the furry community. I‘m what the bible calls a virgin mary on the matter, but I would genuinely like to meet someone that had his „paws on the ground“ as a true veteran to show me „a whole new world 🎶“

Anyways a lot of yapping. Get used to it if you‘re interested ahah. Just hit me up via dm so we can see if it‘s a match ;D

"That's all" 👵

I kinda thought there were lots of nerds in the lgbt/gay community, but after 2 weeks of online dating apps I met not a single one. Are we that seldom?
