Fallout 4
- Released
- November 10, 2015

Bully
- Released

WHERE TO PLAY

- T For Teen due to Crude Humor, Language, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, Violence
- Genre(s)
- Sandbox
Rockstar's games don't do a great job of portraying romances, although Grand Theft Auto 6 may be poised to change that. However, interacting with basic romance mechanics is still fun in their titles and does a great job of letting players become romantic with numerous potential partners.
This applies to Bully, where players can try and woo notable women from each social clique, even if it basically boils down to giving gifts and receiving kisses. It's amusing in its own right, but Jimmy must do a lot more to win over the school after Gary betrays him.

Sleeping Dogs is a game that, ironically enough, many people are sleeping on. The fun take on Arkham combat, coupled with the title's open-world shenanigans and enticing gameplay loops, ensures that players will have a blast mastering everything this title brings to the table.
Wei can also date one of five potential partners, with all of them unlocking something or the other in the open world that benefits players. While it's a shame that these girlfriends essentially disappear after Wei's done wooing them, they're still fun distractions to keep players busy in this enticing open world.

- ESRB
- T For Teen due to Crude Humor, Sexual Themes, Violence

The open world in The Sims 3 was lauded by the masses, and it's a shame that the sequel didn't choose to build upon this concept. As one would expect, romance is a huge part of The Sims 3, and players can be unfaithful to their partner if they wish.
Sims need to keep these amorous activities under wraps from other partners. If they get caught, it can ruin their relationship for good, and can even cause marriages to break down if things get too bad.

Thankfully, the game keeps track of where CJ is and ensures that partners in a different city don't make things too hard for him if he's not around. It's just one of many things players can accomplish in one of Rockstar's video games.
