I'm sick of people criticizing games like this by essentially saying "Just watch porn!" By that logic, should sports games not be made because people can "just play sports"?

Many people prefer porn without nudity.altnameJag said:
Also, it seems they pulled back on the boob jiggle a lot. Good for them.
You mention cheesecake in a moment, which is a grouping that includes non-nude softcore porn. Surely, you must be aware of such material.gyrobot said:
Really? Is this a demonstrable market trend? How specific is it. Like, is there a marked decline in the localisation of Eastern games in general, or just cheesecake volleyball games? Because I find the latter to be totlaly believable, but not so much the former.
That's definitely true. It no longer looks like the breasts is trying to escape their host by splitting up and bolting.ThatOtherGirl said:
Yep. If anything, we're actually seeing more games localised than ever. Sekai Project is releasing 2-4 VNs a month (putting All Ages-versions on Steam, and selling 18+ versions elsewhere), Koei is still bringing over various niche RPGs in a fairly timely manner, Square Enix regrew some brain cells, NISA and Aksys are still doing their thing, some companies are trying their hand at localising otome games, and Gajinworks just released a PSP game. Yes, really. You know now play Summon Night 5, the fifth installment of a a longrunning JRPGs series that had never seen a main series title localised before, can now be bought in English. On PSP and Vita, two systems that are kinda sorta pretty dead outside of Japan. (It's getting some pretty good reviews [http://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/summon-night-5], by the way.)Something Amyss said:
That was the best part! The hilarity that they spent so much money on a physics engine that acted like nothing known to humankind.altnameJag said:
And see, this is what it looks like to me, but I was curious. Maybe I'm just not noticing all the games not being ported while my friends are able to get their VNs and whatnot without any hassle for what seems to be the first time. Maybe my perception is wrong. Which is why I asked gyrobot.NPC009 said:
Almost all of these complaints look like they focus around one or two games not coming out, and now there's never going to be any teen panty shots or women in bikinis ever again. But I could have missed something, since fetish games aren't really my bag.
It has put an abrupt end to cheesecake games. Sadly it is also the only thing Japanese consoles can have.Something Amyss said:
To them being deprieved of this type of game with devs and reviewers openly calling us out on itdoesnt make up for the fact games like DOAX and monster monpiece would never be localized again and games that do would be subject to censorship, but that is another issueNPC009 said:
Since when? According to who?gyrobot said:
Games like, or those specific games? Because I seem to have no problem finding cheesecake on my PS4, my PS3, and on Steam. I have friends actually into the shit, too, and none of them seem to be noticing this drought. Admittedly, I like my smut in text or audio format more than anything, so these games aren't for me. But the idea that they're not being localised anymore, or this so-called "calling out," seems like it's more a persecution complex than anything.
In fact, when I asked you to demonstrate this trend, you came up with two games not being localised (and "never would again" based on...). Oh, and you're wrong on one of them. Monster Monpiece is getting a PC port this year with uncensored artwork, there's an Android/iOS game planned, and the sequel/successor is also slated for a 2016 release. Two examples and you're already 50% wrong.
You're not being deprived because one game isn't coming out here. And that certainly doesn't mark a trend.
Yeah, at this point, it look like a dating game since I'm not familiar with the new characters other than Helen in that trailer (I played up til DoA3).
I'm wondering whether or not I should hold off on getting Estival. If Shinovi got a PC port, Estival can't be too far behind, right?LostGryphon said:
If it does get ported, I'll have basically lost 2/3rds of my reasons for getting a PS4. ToZ is on Steam as we speak, and as much as I wanna try Bloodborne, I'm not interested enough in it to buy a $400 console. (Plus, knowing FromSoftware, they'll probably port IT too. It'd be a shitty port, sure, but it'd be something).
2016 better be stacked (no pun intended).
I really don't get the people who say "just watch porn instead". In this context. It's like it being a game intended to titilate makes people forget what games are.
You wouldn't say "just go watch an action movie" to negate the validity and point of existence of gta. You wouldn't say "just go watch a kung fu flick" when people desire to play fighting games. It makes no sense to respond thus. Games are not movies, the interaction is the whole point here.
It makes me wonder if people really think the point to these games is to pleasure yourself while simply looking at the char models bounce around. It isn't. It's closer to a stripclub experience than a brothel one everyone seems to envision these games intending on delivering. Titilation over outright crass arousal is the aim.

It's not like I had any interest in buying it before, but that voice. She sounds like she's 8. Why oh why oh WHY do people find that attractive? It's like 12 layers of creepy and just oh please no.

Bad reviews means Devs doesn't want to get shat on by a hostile reviewing environment which have been the norm lately.
And to the person who claims SJWs have no power, Idea Factory pretty much giving up on future titles being localized due to censorship reasons is proof that SJWs do have enough power to influence the industry.

IF is saying that they won't censor any more, not that due to censtring demands they give up. It's more in the hypothetical sense right now. I'm pretty sure they can keep releasing their games uncensored and be fine. The only thing they censored was mo.ster monpiece and even that is getting an uncencored pc version showcasing the initial censoring was pointless.
Their stance is more one of resistance to pressure to self censor, it's a good thing.

Relax. I don't mean to get on at you. It's just the way I put my points across. I did law, but worse, grew up on the Internet. It's in my bones. You presented your points perfectly well, and provided exactly what you said you would.TheLaughingMagician said:

I kind of wonder about this actually, because I kind of buy the argument that the player can inject themselves into a game character to give them agency, but I think you need to actually be them. With fan-servicely games like this, your often explicitly not the charter. (In this case we have manager mode.)
That's weird. So many defenders of the game seem to think that it's just an innocent volleyball game.RJ 17 said:
I have to be honest, the graphics don't really seem like much of an improvement over the previous installment. I would have thought the skin and hair would be a bit more realistic by now. The sound quality is atrocious too. I have to wonder how their voice overs turned out so bad, because I assume they were recorded in a booth.
