Topic: Good LGBT Games?

Lately, I have been wanting some good interesting games about LGBT themes. However, I hated Gone Home, and am boycotting EA (Their business practices overwrite their average-at-best games in my mind), so do you have any suggestions? Bear in mind, I don't want this to be a debate about LGBT, as the Tomadachi Life situation proved, Nintendo life isn't quite ready for a sensible discussion on that topic.

Nintendo Life isn't ready for a lot of things.

Also, why don't you do your own research?

Why did you hate Gone Home?

Because that's the best example of a game addressing LGBT themes.

A tonne of reasons. The writing is bad, the voice acting is bad, the story is cliché with no insight to the issues, it is ugly, I beat it in 10 minutes on my first run accidentally, so I got the ending spoiled. The idea of a location telling the story is great, so why add the crappy voiceover? The setting was a cool time, and the house felt like a house, but apart from that I hated it.
Apparently, because I am LGBT, I have to like this game.
@Chrono_Cross. I just wanted a community opinion; can't trust mainstream gaming media about this topic after Gone Home...

It's not our problem you expect the world from an indie developer.

I hear Always Sometimes Monsters does it well. And uhh... maybe Bahamut Lagoon, if you can find it

Apparently Read Only Memories is a thing related to this topic.

Also this: http://gambit.mit.edu/loadgame/aclosedworld.php

Though apparently that's mearly a prototype that I guess never went anywhere?

Eh there's not a lot tbh kinda sad when you think about it.

In his defense, he has the right to expect something.

Legit question: what makes a game "good for LGBT people"? What does that even mean?

Uncharted.

I've been told Persona 4 goes into some relevant themes.

I mean, I can name a few gay characters I suppose, but um...gaming's reputation into even hetero relationships or sexuality is not exactly...great...in the first place. So I'm not surprised it's difficult to find an answer to this.

I can confirm this.

no one mentioned final fight / street fighter yet?

Persona 4 talks more about teen confusion than real homosexuality.

...fair enough.

Yeah; again, because it is indie and LGBT, I am apparently not allowed to criticize it. I came in with low expectations for polish, and they were not met. I was hardly expecting the world...

I wasn't a big fan of Gone Home either. I loved the idea of it, and I loved the ideas it presented, but my experience from it was...less than satisfying, to say the least.

Dammit! Beaten to it! XD

We've still got the GLBTQI gaming discussion thread here if you'd like to ask for specific suggestions. Otherwise, as always we have our more general Recommendations threads stickied to the top of their appropriate sections of the forums. Please feel free to use the existing threads to ask for game suggestions. Thank you! :3
