My totally valid criticism (and first post!) got deleted despite going against no community rules. NL, go ahead and just make the first post yourselves if the money is that important to you. This is a business after all!
@Ralizah Agreed! This is a solid review that mentions the sexiness without getting judgy, and does a good job of critiquing the other elements. Well done
@YANDMAN It really is a gem. My major criticisms would be that text could be sharper and the font they use for the characters’ subtitles isn’t a great choice. It really is a tight little shooter tho
@BulbasaurusRex The level of fanservice is acceptable to the Japanese artists who made the game, the Japanese women who chose to act in it, and the people who choose to buy and enjoy it. And it most certainly has a purpose in the game — it distracts you from the action at key points, creating a unique additional challenge at certain points. The game isn’t being reviewed fairly on its merits, it’s being panned by white males based on their cultural preferences.
Perhaps the author will take the black community to task next about the violence in hip-hop culture, or authors of women’s erotica about dubious consent. (P.S. Nobody is going to stuff you in a locker if you leave the thesaurus on the shelf next time.)
You’re wrong — and when Japan has the level of censorship that makes it the perfect white male safe space, it will have as much character as a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Then it will be time to move on to the next country and “improve” it as well.
For you to arrive in Tokyo with your smug white male ideas about art and sexuality and demand that the natives change to suit your tastes reeks of imperialism — and it’s more than a little racist. That’s the headline here. I’ve no doubt that the developers will garner a few extra revenge sales off the back of your poorly considered hit piece, but please: take your ideas about how to improve Japan and fly back to your home country as soon as you get your next eikaiwa check.

This is the shilliest thread since River City Girls
Say hi to everyone in the Discord, fellas

@Loserkid41 The writing makes the average Reddit post look like Shakespeare. It’s like the Pickle Rick episode of R&M on repeat for 100+ hours.
Re: Port Specialist Virtuos Convinced Obsidian To Bring The Outer Worlds To Switch
Frankly there isn’t much outside PlatinumGames that interests me these days. Wish they’d port Code Vein to Switch, it’s a natural fit.

White male wants to “fix” Japanese culture, what else is new?

Re: Review: River City Girls - Streets Of Rage 4 Has Some Real Competition
This is some shabby warmed-over Calarts stuff. Ugly that you’d whitewash Japanese characters with white voice actors. Pass.

@Taarna 1000 virtue points can be exchanged for an arm touch from a girl and a free bottle of Fabreeze

@LuckyErika rawr
@Kalmaro It’s a small but real gameplay element that adds to the game beyond eroticism (which it also adds)

@LuckyErika nice dubs
Re: Jim Carrey Responds To Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Backlash, Delay And Redesign
Given the utter lack of taste reflected in Carrey’s own illustrations, we’re really lucky the fans won the day.
