"Girly" Video Games

[Celebrate Nite]

How many people have mentioned this game on this thread?

I tried the OG GameBoy a few times, but couldn't force myself to finish it. Nevermind the small screen resolution where you really can't see what's in front of you until it's too late, I remember hating the menu screen A LOT.

Recently playing Fire Emblem: Three Hopes so unable to play recently released otomes, Birushana and "even if Tempest". Still have not finished Code: Realize either but have cleared Van Helsing and Saint Germain routes. Taisho x Alice was fucking cringe the entire way through like it was written by a teenager in late 2010s. "Glomping", creepy hugs, inappropriate touching galore. Fucking hell end me. It should be legal to ritualistically kill western localization teams for such degenerate haram.

That aside, Fire Emblem Three Hopes has no real romancing although the supports are sweet as sugar this time around. There is no marriage, but there is a "merc whistle" that serves as a wedding ring kinda-sorta. All it does is trigger a pre-credits special dialogue from the person telling you how special you are to them and you get an item for unique actions. I went with Yuri for my first route and he essentially gives you a ring that replaces your class ability with the same AOE tornado Ashe can do. Meh. At least New Game+ allows you to import all your items, levels, and facility upgrades so blowing through routes after your first is EZ.

I have autistically decided to S rank every battle so it's taking me longer than usual to blow through the game. Finished Dimitri route and currently in the latter of Edelgard's route. This game would be mindless fun if I didn't have to worry about ridiculously high required kill counts but of course, that's just because I want to S rank everything...

Why are so many girly games also weeb games?

The west has yet to recognize that females also play video games whereas the Japanese have been capitalizing on female gamers for the past 30 years.

Once western game developers start making games for women, the cash will flow. Females are romantic creatures who enjoy romance novels, spanish novelas, and spending hundreds to thousands of hours in simulation games like The Sims 3 and Animal Crossing.

Adding onto this, western indie devs have noticed this but that's probably related to a bunch of them being the type of weebs playing those exact japanese games that have pandered to them and deciding to make their own. Sometimes this works like with Stardew valley but I've found western Otome and BL games to be rather lacking compared to their japanese counterparts.

Or if they do try to make an otome, midway through development it just becomes a "romantic visual novel" because the creators bend the knee to faggots. What was meant to be a heterosexual game with a natal female demographic becomes a rainbow alphabet cult eldritch abomination where every character has a handicap, gender special, hermaphrodite, gay, tranny, covered in tattoos top-to-bottom, rainbow hair, everything except a normal functional human being.

All of a sudden, Cafe Enchante seems like a wholesome, typical dating experience in comparison. I would sooner spend a sleepy Sunday afternoon drinking coffee with a wolf demon, a skinwalking archangel gamer, an FBI agent, a headless man in a suit of armor, and a̴̢̨͎͓͈͔̻̫̦͓̬̦͚͋͛̒̈̄̋̀̆̓̍̊̋̏͠ ̴̘̰̮̮̈́͊͛̑ḑ̵͚̞̱̀̃́̇̀͗́̋̐̆̆́̚͝ë̶̫͚̅̀̿́̎̍͌̄̄͑m̶̹̮͇͗̌̈́͂̇̽̍ơ̴̲͆̄̃̀̕͠n̷̮͙͍͎̱̙̤̠̟̥͒̇̉̑͐̐̇̽̇̍ͅ ̷̤̜̤̱̙͎̙͉̈́͐̒͊̚͝k̸͚̖͖͚̙̣͚̻̝̱̼͎͕̫̘̓̐͒͘̚ï̴̧̛̫̥͈͔͚̞͒̅̌̆͌̍͂̐̽̚͜͝͝ͅn̵͙̮̹̥͎̗̻̞̤͌͋͊̀̄͊̍̊̆̄̈́̕̕͘͠g̸̮͔̤̰̜̯͋͝ than whatever the fuck the west puts out in comparison.

Has anyone played the Let's Ride series? They're great computer games for horse girls.

 

[Eddie Gluskin]

Was replaying the old Nancy Drew games for my boyfriend, he likes watching me play point and click adventure games. I remember really liking Legend of the Crystal Skull,The Edgar Allen Poe one at the academy and making shaved ice in that terrible Hawaiian one!
I have a big nostalgia boner for all these old ugly character models.

 

[Vril-Dame vom Aldebaran]

Replaying the original Tomb Raider for the nostalgia trip. It still holds up, and I maintain my position that it's the best game in the series. Never surpassed.

Lara is such a great character in the originals. She is sassy, strong, badass. The reboots (both of them) made her whiny and overly emotional and I never liked that direction. Original Lara has always been a bit of a role model for me and got me interested in archaeology and traveling.

The gameplay is top notch, too. It's very slow-paced and atmospheric. The primitive graphics only add to the atmosphere and mystery of the ancient ruins you explore. Combat isn't great, but it's not the game's focus. It's all about exploration and puzzle solving. Examine the environment and find your way around highly vertical spaces, jumping and climbing and shimmying along ledges. The puzzles aren't too hard, but they do require a little bit of thinking. It's always logical and the solution can be deduced from examining your surroundings.

I very much enjoy the atmosphere of loneliness the game gives you. There are very few human enemies in the game, you mostly encounter animals and later mummified Atlantean beasts. The later games all added areas where you encounter humans, TR1 is the only game in the series that's fully focused on venturing deep into long-lost places that no human has stepped in for centuries.

Point-and-click games with detective stories are the best ones of the genre.
I never played Nancy Drew but I remember others like Murder She Wrote, Women's Murder Club and one with Miss Marple, I think.
I was really good with the puzzles where you had to find hidden objects.

 

[Vril-Dame vom Aldebaran]

Gabriel Knight is still my favorite point & click.

Jane Jensen knows how to write hot detective protagonists.

I’ll have to check the ones you mentioned out as I was only aware of the ND games filling that niche. I only played one hidden object game in recent years and thats because I went through my bi-yearly Phantom of the Opera fixation.
It’s a good little point and click with minor mystery elements to it but it ends on two FAT cliffhangers. When it was in the app store they didnt even include the last level.

But did you play the full game or not? Do you have to pay extra for the last two levels in the app store?

There was never an option to buy the last level in the apple app store, it's been taken off of as far as im aware and they also don't list it as an option on their website anymore. PC version should come with the last level, still ends on a shit cliffhanger though so YMMV.

 

[tasty humane burger]

Did anyone play this PC game as a kid? I loved Mister Men, I remember this was semi educational and a bit creepy! There was a weird section where you had to play as Mr Tickle walking through the town tickling random characters…very odd.

So was this game the thing that was the awakening for all the tickle fetishists all over DeviantArt/the internet?

Anyone pop in with Long Live the Queen yet? You try to get an anime princess to get the skills she needs to rule her kingdom and also probably die repeatedly trying to figure out what skills matter for this specific playthrough. You might not be able to solve every single problem in 1 playthrough either.

Her Coronet and Toga outfits are so stinking cute btw.

I played this many years ago, very enjoyable game. But there's a bottleneck at some point where you NEED to have a high enough magic skill or you will fail the game, as far as I remember.

Yeah that game is like Princess Maker 2: Expert Mode. There are multiple points in the game where you'll just fucking lose.

I'm sad we never got the other Princess Maker games over here in the US, since some of them look pretty cool.

 

[Fialovy]

Yeah, I liked Princess Maker 2 a lot, I haven't played the other ones. I just learned that Princess Maker 3 and 5 are apparently available in English now. I didn't know that.

One of the few VNs I actually put effort into almost 100%ing. While cute, it had far , FAR too many unwinnable early game situations like the Snake and the Kid. In the version I played, it was almost impossible without cheat engine to get your trade stat high enough for the early game events. Haven't played it in a while, might fire it up and see if they actually patched any of that nonsense.
