It was talking about the music industry in the eighties or nineties, being dismissive of video games as a competitor because "you can't put on a video game to make out to" (paraphrased). So of course as a designer I take that as a challenge. Is there a video game you can make out to?

I feel like there's two varieties of this, one is like "put on the good fmv/etc and make out" and one is like "try to make out while playing the game" and they both have their own flavour
I think “Sayonara Wild Hearts” certainly has the soundtrack for it but I’m not sure if it’s playable during a makeout session
absolutely yeah, any chill experience with a nice world and nice music, that isn't trying to kill you every 4 seconds, where you can just set down the controller(s) for a bit and make out, enjoying the general vibe it's helping create... without oversharing, i have made out to games before. the revolution is already here, in all our hearts.
Tried getting a DDR pad installed on the back of my throat but the technology just isn't there yet
i think ddr with the feet works well, if you get a chart that's slow and not too hard you can kinda walk around the pad while doing whatever, doubles would probably be the best for it
any game can be a makeout game if the player gets a nice kiss as a reward every time they overcome a challenge.
The N64 South Park game.
Not because it's any good for making out to, but because it was what was in the N64 at the time and it made enough noise to potentially mask from snooping parents that we were making out and not playing the N64 South Park game like they had every reason to suspect we were doing.
Your mileage may vary, but I can only speak from personal experience.
The idea of games being in some way in competition with music is absolutely bizarre to me. They are entirely different things! It's like if publishers were worried about books being in competition with french fries!
Wasn't there a very makeout-promoting indie mobile game in the early-to-mid 2010's that featured two player gestures that led to some, um, intimate finger configurations?
any game that only needs one hand to play frees up the other one for holding your partner's hand. i managed to get through the entire first world of Bomberman Hero in this manner (similar hand configuration to how Sakurai controls multiple characters simultaneously in the Smash announcements) because i was simply too gay to let go of their hand yet. love finds a way
rollercoaster tycoon and transport tycoon are good options for games to play together and then Get Distracted while it continues to play itself
Anodyne 1 and 2, Even the Ocean, and Sephonie (all by Analgesic Productions) have beautiful atmospheric music and gameplay that's not so demanding that you couldn't just stop moving for a while and take it all in
any fighting game where you're playing against each other. you can at any point toggle between getting to know each other physically or mentally.
21 comments and no rez trance vibrator mention yet, for shame
Halo once you set up a custom game with vehicles and no bots and get mister chief into the gunner seat on the warthog ;)
