Honestly, I'd say something about not going for 100% completion, but a half-assed game deserves a half-assed effort and you're going through far more than you deserve already.

Also is it me or Riho's bra is really, really not stable? It looks like she's going to show a nipple very soon.

It's really quite incredible how it opens up like a porn game, the story unfolds like a porn game, and even has lovely little minigames to make sure it's still a game... with porn.

This sentence is part of the intro on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_series_video_games:

quote:

Since the games are almost universally created on a low budget with a short development time, developers are able to experiment to some extent with titles such as Demolition Girl, which has attracted attention largely due to its central premise of a giant bikini-clad woman attacking a city, rather than any gameplay or graphical merits.

There's something very off-putting about an "attract mode", and I use that term in the loosest sense possible, that features a perambulatory RealDoll with two live trout attached to its chest by means of... I'd like to say a bikini, but it looks more like some kitschy 70's kitchen utensils.

Riho looks even more like a zombie in this game than in the rest, they genuinely improved after this...but not by much.

Nonetheless, that bed animation is just creepy.

Of all the things, the pause menu is just downright bizarre to me. That takes a minute to fix unless you've somehow managed to sphaghetti your code so hard that's coming apart at the seams and that's just hard to imagine with this sort of game. Did the coders just hammer this together in an afternoon and ship it?

Polsy
Mar 23, 2007

At a guess they couldn't get unpause working without desyncing the music and gameplay, which is just about non-trivial enough that I can imagine they gave up it on if they were on a very limited budget.

I checked one of the (very few) Japanese videos of this game and the 'D3 PUPLISHER' in the credits is something they managed to put in in the translation, which is very weird because the credits are in English in the first place so they didn't even have to mess with them other than adding their own (c) 2005 at the end.

I don't even know where to begin here, other than wondering why they didn't bring back Nano and Rena from Paparazzi, you'd think they'd want to reuse as much as possible. I mean, they clearly put no effort whatsoever into the models, every animation looks janky as hell. The finishers aren't even flashy, so it is both bad and lame!

The translation's quality is...undeniably the level this game deserves, too. Those are some very awkward lines. And I'm going to take a guess here and say that underwear was very much not that originally.

Also, considering the game's lack of voice acting outside of in-battle groans (and I can imagine LET'S DANCING WAKASA ZENKAI gets really tiresome playing, considering how I couldn't tolerate it anymore watching it), let's try to give Kaori a voice, shall we?

The trouble is I don't have any of these games so I'm totally reliant on people uploading their (frequently ironic) videos so the more optional the content the less chance there is of finding it.

That said, someone did helpfully flip through most of the profiles so, Lisa's Japanese line is like: My Japanese, totally fluent!
Except also imagine she's saying it with a bad accent that I'm not going to try to reproduce in English. So, no actual weird words, just bad pronunciation/grammar.

This person conveniently has a page dedicated to Riho and the SIMPLE2000 series, (Riho games helpfully marked with the pink 双)

It doesn't tell you anything you can't find on gamefaqs as far as cheats go, though, except that the Love Upper FAQ writer doesn't recognise that the input combo is Riho's Love Upper command.
