@Jollykarp I don't know how long XSEED will keep publishing this in the west, but this will be a long-running series in Japan.

Think of it. It's a good game, and it has fanservice. Considering it's on 3DS, it's rather cheap to develop. Costs are low, so a niche may be enough to keep this game afloat.

Besides, they did say that Senran Kagura will be their fanservice series for the foreseeable future.

Marvelous its also developing Ultra Dimension Action Neptunia U, which I'm more interested on than SK Shinovi Versus

All I meant was buying this game solely for it's "pornographic" (in quotations because it's hardly pornographic) content is naïve because the amount of free porn on the internet. It'd be willing to bet money that it's more difficult to find info about this game than it is to find free hentai on the web.

Well yeah, I was using the word pornographic in a general sense to mean just anything where one the core aims is to cause deliberate arousal. Call it what you will.
But as for the other part, you didn't really take into account what I said. Most of the porn on the internet is different. People like variety. That's the same as saying to anyone who pays for a special kind of porn "you should check out all the free stuff." They probably already have. But they like the idea of this new type and they're willing to pay for it. I don't see what's naive about that. And I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all, I think they should just be more honest about the fact that that's what they're doing.

Might as well call any movie with Megan Fox in it pornographic. Or Marilyn Monroe, for that matter.

By the way, Atlus handles usually handles fanservice well in their games.

Ironic, since Conception II is an Atlus game... then there's also AquaPazza, Growlanser, and Code of Princess - each of those titles/series has some rather questionable character ages for the fanservice they offer.

Hahahah I know the irony is strong in what I said. Then there's Dragon's Crown.....

Was anyone in Dragon's Crown actually underage? Maybe the archer, but she's by far the tamest girl present (which is apealing in its own right ^_^).

Wait, you mean they aren't??? What worth do those movies have, then?!?

I wasn't initially saying that buying porn is naïve. I was saying buying a video game as porn is naïve. I realize that not all internet porn is free.

Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just a few rungs lower on the evolution ladder, IMO.

Well, They should start by lowering the price on the original US game version as a way to get more takers of this game, then they can use that to build and charge regular price. Its $30 US dollars now, make it $20 from now til the end of summer and then release from there? IDK, sounds reasonable to this guy. LOL

Why is a game a more naive medium for porn than a video? Seems pretty much equivalent to me.

What's a few rungs lower? Being honest about the intent of the game?

Well, videos are much cheaper, for starters. Also, having to play a game to get pornographic material is very counterintuitive, since the effort you have to make first is kinda bonerkill with action games. And yes, I'm well aware of hentai/porn games on PC, but that's the same. It's annoying.
Keep in mind that gaming is interactive entertainment. The only ways to achieve a positive porn-related effect is Oculus Rift, since interactive porn is too much of a hassle to be as enjoyable as simply watching it.

Uh, well. The intention of Senran Kagura originally was to be a parody of animé fanservice and how the entire business is losing its dignity by spreading it everyehere (I chose these words wisely). So, pornographic level material was never really the core point - that one goes to the terrific writing
At the same time, it seems to turn into what it tries to parody with the latest announced VITA title - Senran Kagura: Bon Appetite is the worst game I've seen in a long time, and it devalues every single intention the original game had.

Haha, if we were related, we probably would've argued this out already!

I dunno, I kinda see the draw of porn games. There's an immersion that you can't get from watching a video. I've played a few of the hentai games (calm down everyone, it's ok) and some of them really do the job quite well. Of course, most of them are trash. And then there's that weird issue Japan has with rape. Which is probably best discussed elsewhere.

I don't see why anyone shouldn't be offended by the sexuality of this game...just look at the marketing

People should never be offended by any of the sexualisation in games really. It all comes from a completely fallacious view of the difference between the sexes that came out of the feminist movement. The actual reasons that women are oversexualised a lot more than men has got nothing to do with some kind of oppressive patriarchy, it's just because men enjoy that sort of thing a lot more than women do.

Anime does fanservice "worse" (however you wanna describe it, lol) than what this game does.

Dude, I think you're missing my point(s) completely. It's naive to buy a video game with no actual pornographic content as/for pornographic content, when you can purchase actual pornographic content. If the game was an actual pornographic video game, I wouldn't be saying this. If you think otherwise, you're probably viewing this from (or have) the perspective of someone who is too young to buy said content. And no, what's a few rungs lower is paying for something that you can get for free. Even lower on the ladder is the concept of money itself, but let's not get into that here, haha.

I'm pretty sure MOST (not all) people are gonna buy this for the girls and not the gameplay/story but its whatever. If they wanna do that then its on them. That's their problem.

Its a shame what a age difference makes though for guys like me who can't stand to see underage anime girls doing "hot stuff". Make them just 20 years and older and I'm all over this game. But they aren't.....
