I..guess...it's...romance? Sort of? Lolita?
Pretty gross, though. LET US MOVE ALONG NOW.

you adopt the underage prostitute as your own daughter, kinda Leon thing going. (great movie btw.)
What Leon? Leon the Professional? Isn't that like an unofficial Golgo 13 adaptation by Luc Besson or something like that?

Aren't every Luc Besson's movies about a killer-for-hire protecting a poor little girl / prostitute anyway? lol
5th Element, Wazabi, Nikita, Leon, The Transporter, etc... the list is looong.
Besson is really talented as a movie maker, but as a writter, he just recycles the same ideas every movie he makes, tho it's a lil exagerated, but they're often the same thing, a badass dude, a cool hot girl, some wall-climbing ninja, big cars, etc....

Look up the movie "Taxi Driver" sometime, it's worth watching.
((You "kids" really need to brush up on your trivia.))

*knows about it, have seen it... probably... a loooooong time ago... but decided to not take the obvious route and use the movie when he wrote his comment, and instead decided to compleatly ignore it and go for more of a simile between a taxi drivers and a gigolos instead*
Yes, exactly that. Well Put.

Leon has very little to do with Golgo13 also i dont appreciate my posts here being altered.
I don't even know if I should answer you for what I perceived as misguided hostility towards me, but Luc Besson is known also for making "unofficial" adaptations of comics and geek stuff he has enjoyed. It may sound like quite a stretch, for example, that the Fifth Element is an "unofficial" adaptation of The Incal, as both seem superficially generic science fiction, but no, both are very similar and Besson was probably exposed to that comic book.
I wasn't, in any way, stating it, I was expressing my doubt, I was asking is if it was that. Someone could have just corrected me instead of assuming that "I'm a nineties' kid" because I related a NINETIES FILM THAT YOU BROUGHT UP with a manga that has been published since 1968.
I don't even know what the term "nineties' kids" implies, if it equates people that were born as far as 1985 but grew up through the nineties with someone that was born in 1998 or 1999... but I'm sure they must deserve all the hate in the world because that's what logical adult people do, hating people for something as trivial and impossible to control as when you are born or brought up. Here I apologize to everyone offended by my age, I seriously didn't mean to.
Oh. I don't care. At all. As a Moderator, I alter or remove any post deemed offensive. Your appreciation or lack thereof - or anyone's - is at best, mildly amusing to me.
If you don't want your posts altered, abide by The Rules. Really kind of simple, that.
Dec. Chill. Anyone offended by anything like that has the problem, not you. On the other hand,it's rarely constructive to explain out such an issue. I recommend a short, firendly, informative post, like your first paragraph.
I'd actually never considered Golgo 13 as the obvious influence it probably was. Kind of cool, really.
UND NOW, back to ze topic.
Yes and no. I've had a couple posts altered for reasons I had to go thru the back alleys to discern. The rest I admittedly should have known better, but I'm not one to analyze what I say ... much to my regret at times. One piece of parental advice I really should have paid attention to - Think before you speak.
Actually, in this case, very yes. Not much mystery why I edited the post - denigrating statements be not allowed.
It does deeply, deeply amuse me that a) our secret conversations take place in back alleys, ( so cyberpunk! so hzwt!) and b) you posted off-topic, after a topic reminder, and the content of the post was thinking before speaking.
Heh. Heh.
ON TOPIC NOW...
So I finished Dragon Age Inquisition. I romanced..no one. The opportunities were there, I flirted heavily with a couple adorable characters, but in the end, I decided it was too out of character for my more-and-more serious Inquisitor to do.
The romance comversations were, Iron Bull aside, fairly well done, non-intrusive and totally, totally optional.
I do feel that very optionality made them...less, in some ways. I wasn't pursued, there wasn't any social awkwardness, no one else really commented much on my flirting, ( happened one time, briefly, with no consequences when I ignored the commenter).
It felt..light.
I hope that any CPunk romances are much deeper, although that'll be tough to keep them also very optional.
Finished my first play thru (elf dual wield rogue) and did one session with Iron Bull but took Solas as my romance option.
I was more then a bit surprised when it turned out "Riding the Bull" meant BDSM. I'll give Bioware credit tho for even including it as a romance option.
That aside ...
IF a game is going to include romance it should be something you work toward for at least half the game. Learning who the person is (personality wise not just race/gender/class) BEFORE you have to make any decisions that will effect the romance (ones that effect your relationship in general are fine tho). Then once you commit you can still disagree with them occasionally (not all the time of course) without them saying Adios, does anyone here agree with their spouse/partner 100% of the time? Of course not.
I'd MUCH prefer no romance option to the typical shallow ones seen in most games.

I would have never expected it, Sard is such a tease!
As long as it isnt bland as hell.
I kinda like Dragon age Inquisitions system, where it takes your decisions into count, but make it EVERY decision, not just some.
Make the relationship meaningful, make you care for that character enough to want to spend your time romancing them, have sidequests come with the romance too.
Also dont be afraid to have lesbians, gays or even love triangles, just do it right.

Yeah, I'd like it to take half the game...a succesful romance should be as meaningful and potent as anything else in game, and as interesting. Much like upper-tier powers are supposed to be in most games. Every decision should count - that's how it works in real life. S
Some decisions, of course, should have the opposite effect. Heh.
Also, flirting is fun! Tee!
DId you not know, Dec? I'm a huge girl. Notting Hill is one of my favourite movies ever, I like Twilight, and I notoriously cry if they use sappy music or someone sacrifices themselves for others.
Just saw "Friends with Benefits" with Timberlake and Mila Kunis. Very good.
"And romance, always, always romance. Dancing, scented shoulders, breath sweetened with desire or wine..." Paraphrasing a brilliant book.
