I really have no idea what the gently caress Sekai Project was thinking with pricing Clannad as high as they did. I get that it's a long game and that it was expensive to translate but that game is more than a decade old and looks like fried rear end.


Dude, did you just insult Sunohara's face?

I mean, yes, it's a horrible piece of artwork, but that character acts exactly how you would expect someone with that face to. It's a stellar piece of character design!


(it's probably the worst art in that game)

It's a series of yuri visual novels focusing on students at a girl's academy, featuring a buttload of porn.

So it's not.... completely terrible like most of the stuff in this thread, but yep.

Featuring perhaps the least subtle 'classy' porn name ever.


...I wasn't under the impression it was a 'buttload' of porn, though. Just a standard amount, really.

Also, even if they're funny and interesting they have to get some comeuppance for the horrible poo poo they do. Otherwise they're functionally the hero, and the writer is just admiring an rear end in a top hat.

I've always disagreed heavily with this opinion, and it's gotten me in more than a few arguments. Relating a story about a fictional person in no way equates to admiring or condoning their actions. Not even a little bit.

I looked up a few of those games, and while there is trash there, One Small Fire at a Time and This World Unknown actually look pretty good. Mind you, I actually like VNs so my opinions might be skewed. Ai-Dol also looks cute; it seems to have been Kickstarted, so maybe it's not NSFW. Go-Go Nippon and Tasty Shame are trash though.

I liked the other stuff by the author of Strawberry Vinegar, although SV itself looks awfully, well, saccharine.

On a different note, this developer has a great deal of faith that their crummy 3D porn game becoming the next Big Thing, pumping enough bad DLC to match Train Simulator at this rate. DLC characters for $1 and each of them having a separate "Transgender" version for the same cost which are the same characters except with giant erect penises.

I'd pay a lot more than a dollar for a giant erect penis, buddy

There’s a number of Japanese pornos where a dude gets turned into a hot girl and gangbanged by all his friends. Probably they are (like the time stop world pornos) more of a fad than a genre and are produced by the same company. I’ve seen other ones where the guys all get turned into girls and go lesbian on each other. There’s a lot of crazy stories in Japanese porn.

I'm sure this isn't a new observation, but a lot of these fetishes seem to be rearticulations of really hosed up gender beliefs and power issues.

I mean, sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean that a person with those fetishes believes wholeheartedly in alignment with those hosed up gender beliefs and power issues. What people think is sexy can have wildly different causes and correlations; one person might think the force-fem thing (I think the more common term is "slutification," but I might be wrong about that, because as I clearly want to make sure everyone knows it's not my wheelhouse) is hot because they've built their personal identity around fighting against traditional masculinity, another might be a weird misogynist who gets off on the transgressive nature of a glorious MAN becoming a WOMAN< if you can believe such a thing, and a third might used to have been a misogynist but is trying to change, but somehow their old beliefs got tangled up with their sex drives and they're really embarrassed about it, but it's hard to change what gets you off. Sex weirds are born for as many reasons as there are people.

I know someone who's into the BDSM scene, submissive, because she faced moderate physical abuse as a young'un, and if you're of an excessively literal mindset you might not comprehend how this could result in a fetish for being involved in similar scenarios, but if you're knowledgeable about these sorts of things you will not be surprised in the slightest. And gender roles are especially susceptible to getting tied up with sex stuff, because the great majority of people use what gender/sex people as a major part of their sexual identity.

Now explain the monstergirl fetish :colbert: Asking for a friend.

And myself :blush:

I mean, the variety of monstergirls that I assume exist allow you to cover pretty much any fetish with it, from standard aggressive-sexual-partner stuff to bizarre poo poo like a wasp-girl laying eggs in your body. And they're usually presented in such a way that if you're not into the current scenario, you can just move to the next one fairly easily. You can also easily cover stuff like dubious-consent with a shrugging justifaction that, hey, they're monsters. A large part of it is probably this:

Somfin posted:

The remaining 2% are about actual physical sensations.

I mean, I'd have sex with intelligent liquid. God knows if I'd end up enjoying it, but it's such an unusual scenario that sure, I'll give it a spin and see how it goes, since in this hypothetical I have an opportunity to have a literally impossible pysical experience. I find the focus on scenarios that could never actually occur in the real world fascinating; like, there surely must be people who have a skogsra fetish and can ONLY get off to skogsra porn, which is pretty limiting in a way that a foot fetish or a taste for BDSM isn't. You're just never going to find a skogsra, end of story, and I imagine that would end up with some interesting psychology.

A game called Punch Line got posted in the deals thread, which led me to check out the metacritic which has a single very thorough user review: https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/punch-line


(It was a 4/10)

oh my god

So, a good while back, I kept seeing ads for some dumb-rear end looking show called PUNCH LINE. Description was something like "If he sees panties, the world ends!?" Naturally, I rolled my eyes and ignored it for like a year... but then I was reading about an anime/weeb poo poo author I especially like, Kotaro Uchikoshi, and apparently he wrote this show? It was instantly back on my radar. Long story short, I watched it and liked it a good bit, and the panties thing was pretty much misdirection. Not my favorite thing by the author, but it's fine, y'know?

It looks like this guy was deceived in the other direction, playing the Punch Line game and thinking that it was actually about anime panties, instead of weird time travel and body dysmorphia and poo poo.

I have no idea about how the game plays, but if it is just a straight adaptation of the anime? Then yeah. The skeeviness is pretty much a misdirect.

It's a VN that covers more than the anime, like the events of the anime are about 30% of the content of the VN, with the rest being taken up by alternate paths and suchlike.


FirstAidKite posted:

Ok so like how does the misdirect work, like what is it actually about and how do they get around the initial concept

I guess it's more of an advertising misdirect? Like, it's presented as a pervy thing. I have the box for the game, and it's got all the female characters in revealing poses but with DANGER tape covering their crotches, etc. But the actual characters and events aren't pervy, and after a couple episodes even if the main character looks at panties, they just don't show them onscreen or anything.

If you're wondering WHY the planet gets destroyed if the main character sees a pair of women's panties... well, that's one of the central mysteries of the show. It's essentially a genre that the author loves, which could be described as: weird supernatural (or seemingly-supernatural events) are happening, but things are very definitely Not What They Seem in a fundamental way.

Like, I'm not going to recommend it as something that unreservedly works, and it's not for everyone, but I liked it.

OutOfPrint posted:

I think there is room for erotic horror in video games. The sticking point is that it needs to be essentially flawless to work at all. Adding eroticism makes any flaws in the horror, like an over reliance on jump scares and schlock violence and gore, look like a bad 70's horror movie. Likewise, adding juvenile eroticism, like floppy demon dongs and every titty looking like something a Beverly Hills doctor made to finance a mid-life crisis mobile, starts funny and gets tedious really fast, and nothing kills horror as effectively as being boring.

The easy way to well done erotic horror is body horror plus sex, but I think going for a sense of slow-burning creeping dread would be ideal. Gradually steeping the player into deeper and darker horror and eroticism would work a hell of a lot better than, "Watch out, those titties have a knife!"

So, tl;dr, video games made by manchildren can never pull it off, because they think the idea of "pulling off" would be great for their horror game.

Well, "things that are sexy" and "things that are scary" are like the two most common things for people to totally disagree on. Personally, I think this is why it's hard to have good sexy videgames, for the same reason it's hard to have a widely accepted sexy book or whatever: something that is exactly one person's cup of tea is going to leave a significant portion of the population in the dust. And not just people with specific fetishes, just the tone can make a big difference as to whether person A or B finds it sexy or not. Is it frantic and wild? Slow and subtle? And the same things regarding tone and concept hold just as true for horror; how many times have you been totally creeped out by something, but someone close to you is like "wow how lame is this garbage?"

Look how many animes have the same few character "personalities" - the "Tsundere", the robotic smart one, the dumb cute one, etc. and rely on the hair color/breast size to tell their characters apart.

There’s nothing wrong with needing something easily accessible for a quick fap in a hot minute, there are many eroges in the market including our very own selection for that, but Karryn’s Prison’s aim isn’t that.
