Yes because if the mechanics are good, that’s awesome, but how the game looks really does matter to get anyone to even PLAY it. I feel like getting some of my friends to play arcana was like pulling teeth cause some of them are like “i dont like 2D games” etc. People find it hard to get past initial impressions. I can’t say that i’m not like that either. What drew me to arcana WAS it’s cuteness level. In general, i like cute things. Arcana = cute. Therefore, i was drawn to it rather quickly.
However, for the opposite reason, i won’t play HnK. I dont like not-cute things. Therefore, i don’t like HnK and even tho Arcana and HnK have more things similar with eachother than any other game, i won’t play it. The fighting system might be good, yea, but the graphics aren’t the graphics of a game i’d want to play. A lot of people have that with Arcana, so i see where they’re coming from.
However, to act ignorant and say that everyone who likes it plays only cause they want to have sex with underage girls is like saying that anyone who likes predominantly male characters in a game wants to suck sweaty cock. Both are just as absurd.
i feel that no one should give a fuck about what other people think about their hobbies, shit they like to do, and especialy not the games they play. but i do understand what my friends are worried about.
oh and i agree with what you said. if i play DOA beach volleyball in front of my wife and she calls me a pervert, i know damn well why she called me that.
no need to cuss her out as i AM playing a fighting game that has a cast of allmost all females with triple diple D cup tits bouncing all over the damn place.
and try telling any other gamer that the only reason you play it is becouse the volleyball is sooo good and deep…
i think it is kinda cool to have young girls filling the roles of typical fg characters. like the grappler with the blob thing looks awesome. alot of the girls look older, like that broad with the sword. i personally could care less about character design for the most part. hell there could be gays in a games and i wouldnt care. as long as there are a few that had some style, like vega or benimaru.
Oh my God, that opening is gayer than Tingle. You could be watching Hare Hare Yukai consecutively for ten hours straight in a goddamn Haruhi costume and STILL be less of a failure otaku than a guy who likes this shit. :wow:
Your friends should be hailed as heroes in their country, call the Prime Minister or something and make it happen.
If you replaced every character on that game with Photos of half naked guys and the finishers were them whipping out a penis and bonking them on their opponents foreheads till it pierced the opponents skulls.
would you play it still?
same game mechanics just replaced graphics?
If anyone remembered the SHMUP CHO ANIKI…
then they would remember its about 2 naked dudes in a world of gay blasting shit with their cock missiles.
I bet people gave a shit about the graphics then, even if it had ultra badass gameplay mechanics.
So its a bunch of girls…so what? It’s not hentai. If you are offended by depictions of young girls fighting each other, that’s understandable. If you feel emasculated by playing a game of little girls fighting each other, you’re lame. That’s the problem 99% of the time. Too many macho fg fans think they are sacrificing a bit of their manhood by giving MB or AH a go. Not everyone is playing these games with their dick in their hand.
well there was this time i was playing cvs2 in the arcade against this skinny guy and he was dusting my ass (im not very good at cvs2) when i got down to my last character (sakura) i beat all three of his characters one by one by doing jumping deep forward kick then throw (you know the one where sakura chokes the shit outta ya) and i shit you not he started kicking the cab and crying!
crying in the arcade! i was like dude what the fuck man chill out and he gave me the worst fucking stare that i have ever seen in my life and screamed “SHI-NE” which means DIE.
right around that time ma boy kengo notices a bit of tattoo showing on the guys back from under his shirt so hes like “lets get the fuck outta here man this guys yakuza!”
thats when i said “no fuckin way dude, yaks dont cry like bitches.” after that he stoped crying and said to me in perfect english, “ill be right back” all evil n shit.
at that moment i noticed ma boys kengo n yuki had these horrible exspressions on their faces like they shit on themselves so i knew that situation wasnt good at all and that the guy really was a yak.
since i didnt want to find out what he was gonna be bringin back with him, we busted through the staff rooms to the back exits and got the fuck outta doge.
just when we reached the parking area it was full of black tinted bmws (a few shitty lookin street racer rides as well) and a group of nasty lookin fucks where going into the arcade. lucky for us they didnt know where the fuck we where.
kengo was trying to act all tough n shit untill i reminded him how he and yuki looked when they realized we where dealing with yaks.
it was an adveture fo sho. the thing i learned from that experiance is that real yaks dont look anything like they do in the movies and that sakuras throw can get a brutha damn near killed. TRUE FUCKIN STORY.
sorry if my post is all messed up. i just got a toshiba smartphone and i am using it to type this. i have no idea what i am doing with this thing.
Some people would question if it is, given the amount of panty flashing and sexualization the game has…
Also, it has nothing to do with masculinity. Instead, it has everything to do with being seen as a pedo…in a country where it is seen as a predominant problem.
