I had a nightmare that I was trying to watch something on Netflix and the only categories were things like "sexy anime girls" and "big-titted anime girls" and poo poo like that.


This is literally affecting me.

Bold move, I'm curious whether it'll win them more new players than they'll lose. I feel like most people not interested in the fanservice just play other fighting games anyway.

Can't you people just look at porn like normal human beans

Hentai's already the second most searched for term on Pornhub, and most of its competition is incest stuff. Normalcy left this place a long time ago, so what's a few pixel butts really.

Put visual novels and anime filth in their own section as well. There’s no reason those should be sharing the same space as actual games from developers who put at least a little effort into their work.

Yeah, there are more porn games made on RPG maker than you can shake a mysterious bulge at, Meltys is just one of the better-known ones mostly since it got an official translation and everything.

It's one of those where the stats screen looks like this:

Before you get too excited, that's just how Google decided to translate "bittersweet" (or more specifically "alternating feelings of joy and sorrow").

thats kind of depressing actually. I've always thought well, at least anime titty games aren't really hurting anyone but it turns out they are hurting the people who are developing them. Even cartoon porn is lovely and exploitative apparently.

They mean the Sakura games rather than literally everything, their dev Winged Cloud being rotten has been known for a while already and I haven't seen anyone say a good word about them for a long time.

Obviously anything at all that makes money will have lovely practices somewhere though, it'd be naive to think otherwise.

Non-video gamers have definitely tried their hand at writing video games here and there, but I'm not sure if the results have ever been good. Certainly not often.

I feel like that's selling video game writers a little short, I've always more gotten the vibe that it's such a different beast to tackle that even being a good book or movie writer doesn't automatically make you a good game writer.

It sounds to me like good writers will simply write good stories, rather than good book and movie writers producing distinctly better video game stories than good video game writers. I feel like the latter should get more credit than they currently do.

Anyway, I didn't mean to derail the terrible train or anything.

I'm pretty sure most games with the nudity tag don't even have nudity in them, unless you consider every beach a nudist beach. A disappointment all around.

"Wholesome" no doubt ranks fairly low on most people's porn searches. It's taboo fantasies that make people Maximum Horny and purely fictional works allow for going buck wild with 'em, so as a result games and smut and other such things are filled to the brim with pretty degenerate stuff even by porn standards.

You can probably expect a lot more stuff like that from here on out.

Weird, I was just thinking about that.

If I filter "nudity" or "sexual content" I'd filter out things like Metro Last Light or The Witcher 3.


But because I don't filter those tags I'm forced to see every single loving "Hentai Puzzle" and "Hentai Math" game there is.


I loving hate Valve.

Filtering out Sexual Content shouldn't filter out either of those games unless something's busted on that front, that tag was specifically created to differentiate games with sex/nudity and ones where it's a main focus. Of course not everyone tags those games properly so it's hardly a perfect solution but most "Hentai X" titles seem to have it at least.

"Sexual Content" is a real bad name for that tag though, they probably should've just gone with "Pornographic".

What exactly is the appeal of laughing at badly-made porn games in this thread now that they are both allowed by the platform and common enough to no longer be unusual in and of themselves? The site itself allows it and most of the stuff you post is bad and weird on purpose and trying to be funny so there isn't even like some meta level to look down at it from. Posting a screenshot of of a sexualized anime game on a site that openly sells sexualized anime games and going "holy poo poo lmao this game has sexualized animes in it LOL" is just one layer of plausibile deniability away from :nws:https://local.theonion.com/ironic-porn-purchase-leads-to-unironic-ejaculation-1819565403:nws:

I don't completely disagree with the sentiment but also like... what does it matter? This is hardly some super serious thread with strict guidelines on what you are and aren't allowed to make fun of. No reason to take it so seriously.

Besides if someone finds something new to add to their library as a result then hey, let no one say these forums never did anything for anyone.

My only actual concern with these low-effort hentai puzzlers is that most of them are surely using other people's art without their permission.

if the artists are putting their cartoon titty art on the web, anyone can link it or look at it. no legal difference between a web browser and a no-effort puzzle game. maybe it's impolite but that's all.

Anyone can link it or look at it for sure, but can they actually charge money for it? It's certainly no-effort, but it's not a free game.

I doubt "gently caress all foreigners" is written in the official company policy or anything, probably just depends on who's making decisions at the time.

Having looked it up, apparently MangaGamer partnered up with them a few years back already. They've also been officially localizing the Rance series.

It is kind of weird though; it's not like anyone buying those games stateside doesn't know what they're getting into, so cutting content seems a little old-school. Then again, it is Sony.

I can understand the reasoning but people who care that much will now just buy it on PC instead, so... I imagine the only concrete result is Sony losing some minor amount of sales and XSEED getting some undeserved flak over a decision that was out of their control.

Also on this topic, everyone's favorite video game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was actually an enormous hit in Japan as well, despite being a PC exclusive (at the time but also no one has an Xbox there anyway) and a third-person shooter at that. For a while there it even dethroned PS4 and mobile games on Japanese streaming sites. I can't recall anything like that ever happening before.

Overall PC gaming has clearly become more of a thing in Japan recently, though there's still the issue of many of the better games on Steam simply not having Japanese versions available. Including many games literally made in Japan.

The premise is definitely something, but it's not tagged with Sexual Content (or even Nudity) so I imagine it's pretty lightweight all things considered.

I mean, of course it does. Even logged in you have to opt-in to see Sexual Content tagged games, even by Valve standards it'd be a whole another level of incompetency if the filter was off by default and you'd specifically have to log in first to block that content.
