Hmmm somehow the silly previous issues seem so very silly.
Tales of Maj'Eyal the author put in an '
clean' patch/config button whereby when enabled will smooth out the barely-noticable-nipple-outlines on one particular title screen that goes by... And unless you were looking you wouldn't have even noticed.
WarlockOne: We need more markets where erotic content is recognized as legitimate, not fewer, so that creators of such games can improve their craft
But then we'd break out of the '
everything sold is PG-13' mentality. Remember Deadpool came out as Rated R and some parents were surprised they'd show such an amount of violence on the screen... Because they were so used to anything shown being rated PG-13 that the obvious R rating went over their heads.
The '
family friendly' presentation of the NES sorta making the stage and the standard of what a video game was. Though i'm sure more limits in space was far more an issue than the content. I've seen some NES and other adult roms, which were very low budget galaxa shooters where it had like 4 pictures in glorious 16-32 colors for the story. Static images in the very limited space didn't bode well for anything erotic.
Actually
i remember Strip Poker on the Atari800, and... it was a game...
Though i really do see a lot of shovelware with adult games. memory matches, put the puzzle together, not a lot of engaging games. Japan makes tons of VN's, going full onto the '
story' with few if any game elements. Then there's some that have a good halfway mark, like Sakura Dungeon.
WarlockOne: As long as "adult" games are stifled, as long as it's impossible to devote years of a team's life to creating one without giving up any hope of being fairly compensated for that work, not only are "adult" games going to continue to be mostly shallow, trite, and tasteless
Agreed. Though you know the games will be still treated the same with brown paperbags for you to put your games into leaving everything '
unknown' about what it is you bought. Afterall i don't foresee Walmart or the big stores anything of that nature. Then again they mostly carry boxes with codes anymore and can safely just be ignored.
Hmmm perhaps the best part of the censored games is the gameplay has to stand for itself, and if you were caught playing it (
so long as you weren't in an h-scene) you could pull up said version of the game and let your kids safely play it... and they'd never know (
until maybe much later) that it had another portion of the game blocked off.
