Interesting take on something that has recieved so much attention for its... ahem, 'innovation.'
I would say avoid throwing out simple and sterotypical comments, but I'm a little late to say that and I forgot that I'm smack in the middle of western-gamer-land.

i just read that and i really dont give a crap considering i havent heard of it till now so...... but if i had to care i would be pretty disturbed.. imagine walking into your living room your son is playing on a ds you ask "what are you playing" he replies "doki doki Majo Shinpan" you ask what it is you go over and see him using the stylus to prod a women in her... *ahem* Womanly areas
Japanese sexual culture has always been a bit "out there". The Japanese are much more open towards traditional western taboos than the we are. This is nothing new.
Yes, I still think it's dumb and a little sick, but this nothing new to those who are familiar with Japanese culture, stylus or not.

Now we just need a "Kodomo no Jikan" game, and we're officially, as a race, fucked. Oh, and Kodomo no Jikan (literally, "A Child's Time.") was created by a woman (which doesn't really justify it, so much as it's bloody hilarious). It's about a 9 year old girl who decides she is in love with her teacher, and goes to great lengths to sedce him. It gets somewhat graphic. And it's not a hentai, believe it or not.
And remember, 200 years ago, they had tentacle porn. "The dream of the fishermans wife." A wood painting in which a woman is shown having intercourse with the tentacles of an octopus. 200 years ago. That is all I have to say.

Agreed.Novan Leon said:
For a culture in which "tentacle rape" is widely accepted, this by no means anything big.
But I too think it's a tad on the perverted side.
I found the article hilarious especially the part about your workmates thinking you were going to play it one handed.
I don't think we will see these games released for a while, maybe around the time where we just download games but publishers probably won't want to market such a niche game in the meantime.
One thing I don't understand...
every other game I play uses western archetypes but that doesn't mean COD 5 is akin to Gears of War 2.

lol what?

Huh? What is with all the "prude" seemingly coming from other posters? The only thing that bothers me about this is the implication that the ladies in the game are in fact not fully physically mature ladies. Once you realize that in other cultures and genetic heritages, average height and other curves are not the same as other forms of media would have you accept as a beautiful mature woman. I've noticed this in little things, like my wife who is a native from the west coast of Vancouver Island gets carded all the time because she is mistaken for an age far younger than legal drinking limit and she is in her late 20s - heck, other ladies are jealous of her for it. The reason that bothers me is once you accept that is a girl rather than a lady, it turns the act from consensual and constructive to abusive and destructive. When you realize the fallacy, you realize there is nothing wrong going on here but a lack of depth to the gameplay.
We found a witch, may we burn her?
In fairness, the author's expertise regarding h-games seems more disturbing than the specific game reviewed.

what would make me laugh is if at the end of the game the cops pop up and bust your ass because one of the non witches you molested ratted you out. I find the authors degree of knowledge on the subject of ero-ge, a phrase I just learned from this article, to be a tad excessive. and in response to Canadian Wolverine, my understanding is that the games molestation doesn't involve women, it involves girls, you know, those people who are under the UN defined age of adulthoold, and female? Yeah, that bunch. Also, considering that in order for such a witch hunt to proceed in the real world, one would need chloroform, duct tape and a white van, when looking at it from a North American perspective it does bring back memories of CSI episodes, and we all know how THAT turned out.
Nope.
Thanks for trying, but as far as I'm concerned that game's damn creepy in the "To Catch a Predator" sense.

Whether this is prudish or not depends on the society in which you live. In some societies a certain level of discomfort may actually represent a healthy social awareness and appropriate nod towards caution.CanadianWolverine said:
Cultural differences in perspective, the girls in the game resemble underage girls as they appear in the majority of American society. Put that together with the sexual fascination that the "groping simulator" attempts to draw on (presumably from virile young males), and it makes some people feel a little... uncomfortable.
That reminds me, wasn't there a very different way to determine whether someone was a witch or not? Hmm...GyroCaptain said:
At least the Japanese are mature enough to realise that sex and eroticism are open to humour and not things that should be taboo. I guess we in the West have a long way to go. Personally I wouldn't mind doing a bit of witch touching. I mean it sounds like harmless fun and it can't be as bad as some of the games I've tried after reading an escapiust article.

Disturbing. People trying to convince us they play this game just because its fun are even more disturbing. If you want to FAP at this kind of thing, no problem, alright. But dont make an article about it please.
Feeling guilty much? Sharing this wont make it any better... nor trying to convince us everything is alright with playing such kind of game.
/facepalm
