* In the {{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}} tag force series, if you can't get a tag partner before the tournament, you get a game over and must start again.

* In ''KiraKira'', in addition to points with each girl, the band as a whole has RelationshipValues. If you don't have any band points by midway through the game, you get a NonstandardGameOver.

** Actually, you'll be at a disadvantage if anyone's friendship or rivalry isn't maxed by the final mission, as [[spoiler: depending on who you side with, they'll bail on you]]. But in [[spoiler: Isabela]]'s case, having friendship or rivaly at a high level by the endgame of Act 2 is essential to getting the Supplier achievement, which is already a [[GuideDangIt Guide Dang It]] clusterfuck to begin with. Not to mention the friendship/rivalry has to be high for [[spoiler: her]] to be usable in Act 3 at all.

* Averted in ''DragonAgeII''. Companions gain different bonuses if they have high friendship or rivalry values. It's entirely possible to romance rivals as well. Maxing out a companion's rivalry will also earn his/her UndyingLoyalty. Presumably this is because they either respect you despite your differences (Fenris, Sebastian), want to keep an eye on you (Aveline), enjoy messing with you (Varric), or want to prove you wrong about them (Anders, Merrill, Isabela).

* In ''DragonAge'', if you annoy your party members enough or make choices that they don't approve of then they will either leave your party or attack you. The only character who will never leave are Alistair, but that's only because the mission to destroy the Archdemon is more important to him than anything else. [[spoiler: However, if you choose to spare Loghain (which offends Alistair) Alistair will leave forever.]]

* How can it go on this long without a mention of ''{{Wizardry}}: Tale of the Forsaken Land''? A large part of the story revolves around interparty trust, which is what determines your access to the combos that are far better than individual actions and absolutely required to get very far. They also influence the success rate of resurrections... which given how often people will die if you don't keep your trust up... Oh and if the res fails twice, that character is Forever Dead. Even if it works though, dying and coming back negatively affects stats, in particular HP (so that they're more likely to die again) and trust (so you have a much harder time breaking the cycle). Screwing up your trust can effectively force you to restart the ''entire game''.

* In TacticsOgre: Let Us Cling Together, the ''OgreBattle'' spin off, your troops have a loyalty meter that will change based on your decisions in battle and during story scenes. Though you can't lose by having troops with low loyalty, your troops will begin to leave you if they don't agree with you or aren't treated well. In a game where ''AnyoneCanDie'' and the enemies you fight level up with the highest leveled member in your team to ensure you never get an easy fight, having the strong surviving warriors in your party leave you can be crippling. Combining this with the fact that you don't always know which actions will effect which characters, and the fact that your actions will always prompt a range of different reactions within your team, and that things as simple as not letting your units move during battle, or attacking an enemy unit of the same nationality of one of your characters can result in a drop in loyalty, AND the fact that loyalty is a relatively well hidden stat that can never be measured exactly makes this game ''NintendoHard''.

*** Not only rewards you but actively encourages you! Including three 15 year olds!

** '''[[spoiler: Brutally inverted]]''' in ''Full Metal Daemon Muramasa'': [[spoiler: Up to the middle of the game you have to take a path where no one among the heroines has higher points than the others, else you will ''kill her''.]]

* If a Relationship Boosted check in ''MonstersAndOtherChildishThings'' fails, or if a monster drawing upon the power of a relationship is PWZNED in a fight, then the resulting relationship is "Shocked" and suffers a penalty as a result. Failure to repair the relationship in time can permanently damage it.

* In ''Vanguard Bandits'', on the main story path, you get the [[MultipleEndings Bad Ending]] if the average Morale of your units is under a certain number.

* ''SoldierOfFortune II'': Jeopardize the soldiers' mission in Colombia, and they will execute you on the spot for treason.

* The mediocre [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames GBA version]] of ''Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'' has you gaining the trust of wild horses and leading them through various areas. To keep their trust, you had to give them food and water. If trust got low enough, they'd refuse to let you ride, and would eventually run away from you. You can imagine how fun this was in the desert level. OrSoIHeard.
