It would be interesting to see what percentage of dating sim type games are actually H-games, though I suspect a good majority. Even in the Persona games for the PS2, which were clean enough for western audiences, sex was very strongly implied.<br /><br />I find a lot of Japanese adventure games frustrating because many of the solutions are not really logical. They seem more about talking to every single person over and over again until you are able to move forward. I'll be going into this a bit when discussing Princess Tomato.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-10830073808345046892010-07-31T13:26:31.374-07:002010-07-31T13:26:31.374-07:00Hmm, I think I overdid it with the last post...dat...Hmm, I think I overdid it with the last post...dating sims are not always about sexual encounters...damn all these perverse japanese sex games which found the way on my hard drive.qaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-42464310312793118722010-07-27T12:51:24.245-07:002010-07-27T12:51:24.245-07:00Oh yeah, the dating sims were far more prominently...Oh yeah, the dating sims were far more prominently on the Turbo-Grafx, you're right...though I am not sure if I want to see these extreme japanese debauchery. I am not a prude, but sometimes the japanese are sexually really weird, even for us germans (though some cliches about germans I heard in foreign countries are also not true either...).<br /><br />But back to the adventure games, I am used to oldschool LucasArts adventures, but I found the Partopia style adventures so far interesting. But for now there was none I wanted to try without a solution (not the chemical one, I meant gamefaqs), and I think it wouldn't do much sense playing these games then. So I hope you give me a reason to jump in the cold japanese waters of adventure gaming.<br /><br />And I am also psyched for the dating sims in Chronturbo =)qaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-904803671194585142010-07-26T23:08:17.817-07:002010-07-26T23:08:17.817-07:00The way I see it, when it comes to freaks and nutj...The way I see it, when it comes to freaks and nutjobs, the internet is a two edged sword - it gives them a social outlet and maybe even a sense of community otherwise not available, but it also rewards them when they act insane. On the flip side, it gives society at large a chance to peek inside the minds of folks who, 100 years ago, would have been kept chained up in the attic by their families.<br /><br />Yeah, JP adventure games are rough because: a. they are all structurally very similar and b. enjoyment tends to come from the quality of the writing, so there's not much there if you don't understand Japanese or if the game is badly translated. And most JP games in 1988 are badly translated into English.<br /><br />Most JP RPGs nowadays are very heavily character based - with each character specifically designed to appeal to a certain demographic or subculture. Even DQ VIII had a female character with dual ponytails. From what I understand IX is much more old school - you can create your own characters and explore the world at your own pace. But I haven't played it myself.<br /><br />As for dating sims, that's what where Chronturbo comes in.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-85830750464905907512010-07-26T12:55:53.321-07:002010-07-26T12:55:53.321-07:00I am still waiting for the Famicom Dating sims...I...I am still waiting for the Famicom Dating sims...I mean except that weird one from Nintendo. I am pretty interested in these in 8-Bit, I now some of the Internet in flash, but nothing mindbending.<br /><br />Also on another note, a day before my copy of Dragon Quest IX arrived I decided to watch the Dragon Quest/Warrior I - III Videos from Chrontendo again. <br />I didn't have enough time for now to build a good picture of DQ IX, but after an hour in I didn't see anything which reminded me of DQ so far. The menu works great, the graphic is nice and fluid, and the fights have the complexity I was looking for. It is fun, but the spark didn't jump over for now. I heard the japanese are going retro with this game, this is not really what I experienced so far (except of course the art by Akira Toryama). We will see... .qaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-76919681032125975622010-07-25T16:34:33.495-07:002010-07-25T16:34:33.495-07:00I'm only on Episode 20 (and have to wait for m...I'm only on Episode 20 (and have to wait for my wife to get back from an interview so I have to wait), but I can already say that the adventure game history will be a very welcome break. <br /><br />I know you do what you can with those, but there's only so much excitement I can get out of the video game choose your own adventure book.Chris Osbornehttp://jugglechainsaws.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-73482052176059091692010-07-25T03:20:15.598-07:002010-07-25T03:20:15.598-07:00God damn, I took a left turn at that heavy.com art...God damn, I took a left turn at that heavy.com article and researched a lot of depressive aspects of the internet.
