Eh, I'm fairly boredom-resistant, so I barely noticed, and played it 'cause it looked cute.

I played it too with some mild hope of amusement but for this jaded asexual it had me hammering the next page button trying to skip past the boring sex crap trying to get to our boy/gal trying to fit in to her new role, no such luck as it's just a disc of perversion as it was clearly listed basically haha.

Thank you for the warning. I probably wouldn't have been in danger for a while, yet, but it's good to have reassurance that I won't waste my time in the future.Amakaze said:Having played this game and the sequels, I'd certainly have to agree with you. The first one is particularly awful, however, be careful with the next two. When people tell you that they are 'better' they're generally referring to the graphics, writing, and other more mechanical factors. All three X-Change games follow the formula of 'Man turns into woman, gets raped repeatedly by everyone she meets'. The second and third do improve things by generally making it clear when you have a choice about WHO to be raped by, by the bottom line is the same.
...I guess that's something I can consider. Far in the future, though. I've still got a bag of others to go through.The most recent game, however, Yin-Yang (A New X-Change) is worth a look. It follows a new cast of characters, and while there is still a fair amount of unavoidable rape, I'd say it only constitutes 1/3 of the game, and most of these are concentrated into a few distinct paths (whereas in all others it's 90% of the scenes). The remaining scenarios actually more orientated toward semi realistic characters.
And now thanks to the advice above, it will be a series I wash my hands of completely (minus maybe, maybe the new series).Tenmar said:Funny part is NeutralDrow is this. One down, two to go. The Xchange game actually was a series. Enjoy your work for these game if I remember correctly were created in the late 90's.
That's...that's not an incentive for me. At all. I went through most of this game with a look of horrified disgust frozen on my face, and the only thing the orgy-bus did to change that was causing me to mouth "what the fuck...?" over and over until it was finished.Zeithri said:Not haven't played the first one, but I can recommend the second and especially the third one.
The Orgy-bus makes an re-apperance in the third one and it's explained more what it actually is - which is a bus where men and women have sex while driving around in a bus.
Judging from the advice above...I think if touch the Xchange series ever again, it will probably be Yin-Yang Alternative. Or if I compromise my principles and torrent Xchange 2, because I absolutely refuse to pay for it.But yeah, try them out and review them!
I'm going to have to check some spoilers, but I think the sequels may have rectified that (the second is supposed to have over 20 endings). I just don't feel like clawing my way through the rape to find them.SuperMse said:So there's no happy ending if you stay a woman? You're always demeaned in some way?
...I am not amused.
Eh. Far as I'm concerned, if someone necros one of my reviews, I'm apt to jump for joy at the free front-page exposure.King of the Sandbox said:Whoa... necro thread of epic proportions!
I'm trying to imagine what genre the music would be in.Also, "Clawing My Way Through The Rape" Is totally my new band name.

I could only suggest maybe more pictures to break up the wall o-texts, but other than that, good jorb.
That's the attitude I set out specifically to counteract. The idea that eroge are all tentacle-filled rapefests frankly doesn't even give enough credit to the normal, shallow sort. Quite a few of these titles don't interest me because there's nothing interesting about them. There certainly are genuinely disgusting things like this game, or Virgin Roster, or Tsuki: Possession, or Water Closet...but there's also boring and cliched titles like Come See Me Tonight, or Do You Like Horny Bunnies?, or Let's Meow Meow, which still don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the others.Therumancer said:The only thing I am wondering at this point though is that why you keep reviewing Japanese Hentai if it bothers you that much. While there are definatly exceptions, the entire point of most of it was to be shocking and do things that people were unlikely to be able to get IRL.
I'm not finding thirty I hate for every one I think is good. You're giving me too much credit. I'm specifically avoiding what I suspect I wouldn't like...and even then, I still have 25 titles in my playing list, plus however many more I may find in the future.You do a good job with reviews, so I'm kind of wondering why you keep going with this specific genere instead of things where you are likely to find thirty differant titles your going to hate for every one you think is good, just by looking at the apparent intentions of "Japanese Porn" in general.
See? Right off the bat, any chance of my being interested is drained.Kondom's "Bondage Fairies"
Even if they weren't, I would be. I have standards.I don't think anyone is going to be all that judgemental given that your already playing enough porn games to write a review series about them.
