"Bromance" in video games

[Sable Gear]

Ever played a game with a touching moment/theme of bromance? (for those of you who aren't sure what that means, it's basically the man-to-man version of a soulmate or close friend, guys just don't say 'soulmate') Or a similar moment/theme between two women? I've got a couple:

-Near the end of Assassin's Creed, Altair and Malik make up (if you didn't see that coming go bash your head against something and come back) and there's a breif moment of accepting apologetic bromance before...yeah I'll avoid the spoilers this time.

-In Zelda Twilight Princess, Link has these bizzare bonds with people that sort of border on the creepy; Shad the scholar, Russel the Ordon swordsman, and that blond kid...was his name Colin or something? I can't remember...

What have you guys seen?

uh.. it's completely blank.

Hrrmm, this just screams Gears.

My thoughts exactly.

This has little to do with this topic...It was actually a reference from a spill.com review and I spotted it on the web a bit earlier.
It seems fitting to post in a subject about "bromance"

Mass effect didn't allow that kind of stuff to happen. Maybe romance between two females but if its two guys Hold The Phone.

In Mabinogi I made the Shepard boy have the hots for me.

Some scenes between Lloyd and Genis or Lloyd and Zelos in Tales of Symphonia, and one particular scene between Shiki and Arihiko in Kagetsu Tohya. Those are the ones that come to mind...

Army Of Two. So much bromance!

 

[Shapsters]

Master Chief and Arbiter. BFF

=D Yeah, that game was pretty much all about it.

 

[[Gavo]]

Army of Two.

 

[Sarukin]

Army of Two, Gears of War and i guess Halo 3 (if the Arbiter isn't trying to stab the Chief)

Hopefully, Army of Two: the 40th day will cut down on the Bromance if the developers at EA are to be believed

What about the new 50 cent game? Surely?

I guess I never play games with so called bromance.
Or it doesn't really springs to my mind.
I recall this game were a male character almost expresses his love towards the player but I'll be damned if I come up with the title...

I didn't know anyone used the term 'bromance' seriously.

Snake/Otacon (MGS)
Auron/Jecht/Braska (FFX)
Luke/Guy (Tales of the Abyss)
Sora/Riku (Kingdom Hearts)
The main character and every other dude in Persona 3/4

Yeah the Japanese seem to be all over this one. There is a fine line between 'bromance' and slash fiction.

I actually don't, but some do. I just like the way it sounds...Bromance...It's one of those perfect portmanteaus, like...well I can't think of one now, but it's just one of those words that fits like nothing else.

Yup, saw all them and more. FFVXIII is supposed to be all bromance, but I'm still apprehensive. I'm pretty sure there's already some rape slash :/

I was just going to say the same thing lol

"Wrex."
"Shepard."
So touching!

Actually, it only has it in the sense the OP intended (deep camaraderie), and not anything particularly gay.
