@Peterjr1 I'm curious why you are so concerned about those minorities. Do you feel like they aren't represented fairly? There is a niche sector for nearly everything in gaming. Whenever developers pander to minorities, they don't get enough support from those minorities to justify effort and cost of development. But you won't win any allies by attacking the things that we straight male gamers like. That's where SJWs went wrong.
I'll definitely be going there, but I'm sure the products will be way overpriced. There's a popular chain store in Japan called Aeon that I work at on Wednesdays and they had a Zelda tote bag that I waited to be reduced in price for over a year before finally buying it. The original price was 4,000 yen!!!
@Peterjr1 that's not how statistics work. If we have a pie and I have a slice that is 40% of the pie and the other 60% is divided into 4 pieces with no piece being greater than 40%, that doesn't make my piece of pie a minority of the whole. I wish I could have used your math when I cut the cake a my parties. "Come on, guys! My piece is a minority!!!" (Walking away with nearly half the pie in my plate)
@TechaNinja it's a waste of breath talking to him. He actually believes that straight male gamers are a minority globally. When pressed for data, he disappears. Just drop a link and move on. I'll do it for you. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/fig
@Diogmites Sexiness was clearly on his mind, but Japanese developers no longer feel safe speaking candidly to Western game journalists. I was talking with a friend who works in game dev for a small studio and he said they may not even release their next game in other countries because of crazy SJWs.
@CharlieGirl Do you mean men don't like bubbly, big-eyed girls with large chests? I don't think "patriarchy" makes men like these girls...it's biology.
Thank you for the great review! You highlighted all of the features I look for in this sort of niche Japanese game. I just don't understand how the final score is supposed to correlate with the content of your review. It's almost like you don't care for these sorts of games to begin with... perhaps, you should let someone who enjoys these sorts of games do the review next time. Just some advice from nobody special in Yokohama. 宜しくお願いします。

@Kalmaro I feel your pain. I have a mountain of games in my TV stand that are still in their plastic wrapping.

Re: Gun Gun Pixies Eyes Up A Release On Switch Next Week
@mlj11 I laughed pretty hard at his comment. Then I showed my wife and she laughed. Then we felt concerned for the safety of his female friends. :/

@Strictlystyles that word doesn't mean what you think it means.

Re: Atelier Ryza Producer Surprised That Fans Find Lead Character So Sexy
@Peterjr1 what group is a majority globally and where did you get that data?

Re: Atelier Ryza Producer Surprised That Fans Find Lead Character So Sexy
@Peterjr1 straight males are a minority in the gaming industry? That's a typo, right? You can't possibly believe that.

@Gio0207 Well, it's educational software, not really a AAA game.
