What's keeping the West from making DOAX style games?

[EternallyBored]

It took me time to find what you were talking about. It's called scarlet blade in the US. So it's not a game made in the US, but ported over. (It also looked like gack, but the likely isn't a.. um.)

Pretty sure it also closed down due to lack of popularity.

I think they also had massive server problems, or at least I remember reading a story about them doing server rollback awhile ago.

Still, maybe not the best example, it was, from what I've been told, a mixture of the worst aspects of Korean MMO's with mediocre combat and no real coherent story to speak of, and content updates so slow would make most Free to play MMO's feel like WoW's regular expansion packs.

I can't think of another example of a game that would fit the bill of being like DOAX with a midrange budget similar to games like Divinity.

"Vag Munroe's Great Pussy Extravaganza!"

But I might have dreamed that one.

1. Look at the level of hostility of it even existing in this thread alone.

2. Shaming at the idea of owning it, this only really applies to men, same reason sex toy's for women are far more openly acceptable.

This isn't really true of most people in this thread, but by posting that way you've neatly grouped everyone who disagrees with you in the same pile without having to actually present your own argument. Please don't think any of that went unnoticed.

Your making things up.

Did I say all posters? no, I did not.

Did I say that you did? No, I did not. Stop making things up and getting outraged at them.

"Everyone who disagrees with you"

and "Everyone in the thread" are definitely two different things, but you must know that, since you decided to ignore the "...who disagrees with you part."

tch tch tch.

Honestly, it's not just this kind of game. You don't exactly sell millions of copies of "Strip Majong" in the West either. If you just want to be titillated, there's a world of porn that includes just that, lots of it animated, or if it's your thing there are strip bars absolutely everywhere in most of the West, certainly North America and Canada. I can't imagine a bunch of Floridians who normally go to a strip bar on a Friday night, would be terribly interested in relatively low-res T&A.

Which is the final thing; real women are still vastly more detailed and superior to the digital variety in every way. If we were having this discussion in 20 years, maybe it would be different.

I've made this point enough times but people really need to stop making comments as if porn and any other form of titilation are interchangeable.

You need to stop acting like porn is all hardcore porn. Titillation exists in many forms, all of them involving either images of real women, or real women. None of them require anyone to play a shitty game.

This isn't a difficult issue to understand, unless you don't want to understand it.

Your using your alt

I left it out because it wasn't important.

responding to all posters/ all posters who disagree with me. Same difference.

There would be no reason to respond to posters who agreed with me, I thought that would be obvious.

Let's clear this up

I pointed out that some people where overly hostile as in there language showed they where particularly hostile to the topic, at this stage these things come as a fact, this was in no way a denial of any valid points made as you falsely accused me of.

Comments quickly found on the first page

"if you want PORN go watch porn"
"because ranting hormonal teenage boys can go get it elsewhere"

and this is all cleared up.
