The boyfriend lock feature will be handy to keep siblings and such from playing but the parental introduction system is kinda crossing the line a bit. Konami is doing a good job on the game though but I want to know this "new system" they are working on and I don't approve of the parental introduction system. There's also a yuri mode in the works.

 

I don't think it'll be the game critics that will complain, they'll praise the new features but it may attract unwanted attention from a certain Tokyo governor.

I'm thinking of the unfortunate implications from having the parent introduction option, prepare for families disowning sons.

 

You are breaking free from reality, you are dating and eventually marrying the perfect girlfriend, there is no such thing in real life. Oh yeah have you ever looked more into the game Second Life, if so this would make a whole lot more sense to you if you done the research on the game.

 

I dunno, I reckon the perfect woman's out there somewhere. If it wasn't for the fact that she's fucked off to New Zealand, about as far away from here as she can get, I'd have said my friend Sian would've been in with a fairly solid attempt at the title.

Besides, what makes these virtual girls 'perfect', exactly? Everybody has unique tastes. The chances of a game character hitting every single point on your checklist is virtually negligible. Ergo it makes more sense to not waste time on a game like this with a hopelessly limited selection and go out into the wider world to increase your chances of finding that one perfect person. I admit the chances of any of us finding our one perfect companion are pretty slim, but those chances are exponentially increased by meeting real people, right?

That and to me a key part of any relationship, perfect or otherwise, is the more physical side. You go right ahead and fuck your 3DS if you like, I'll stick to human girls if you don't mind.

 

isabelyes, i got somewhat spaced out by your message there, comparing the masturbation with the game... however you are quite right. This game is just to simulate, without having to go through troubles. However, i guess that the familly would disagree a bit.. just because it doesnt feel right for them. I wonder if it will come to eu/us markets this time?

 

Haha~ ^-^
Well, you shouldn't take it /that/ literally.
It's about relationships more than anything else.
I just thought I'd compare it to masturbating because, even if 'Tempers haven't ever had sex or a girfriend, even if they've never played a game like this or read a romance novel - they sure as hell will have masturbated at least once in their lives.
...I guess.

Anyway, I /think/ - though I'm not sure - that LovePlus gives the same kind of 'pleasure', by lack of a less insinuating word, as a romance novel. It's about making you feel love without its difficulties; in that sense, it is as perfect as it gets - far better than reality, at least.
I'm not antisocial enough to suggest that games are superior to girls, but if you're bad with girls (like me ;_; ) or if you've experienced some kind of trauma or something, Dating Sims are quite a viable solution.

 

I am 15 years old. I've never had sex, nor do I know what a (?) 'Coventry' is.
However, if fucking horny drunk 19 year-old girls is your idea of love...
Yes, of course a girlfriend is better. But Dating Sims are for people who either don't have the time, or couldn't bear the shame of just fucking random girls around. As I've already stated, I haven't played a Dating Sim before, but I'm sure as hell that hearing a virtual girl - or, hell, even a little sister - say something like "I love you, Onii-chan" would make me feel loved more than a random drunk girl possibly could.

You say that sex is available at any time. If we're talking about girlfriends - and we are - then I would find it somewhat disrespectful to a girl to just go like, "hey, let's have sex right now.", and even if I wouldn't, the average girl I know would.

Dating Sims aren't so much a physical pleasure as they are a mental one.
Also, even though this isn't true for Love Plus, they offer a wide - and wild - range of situations, that arouse both body and mind.
To take a rather extreme example - you can't exactly tentacle-[censored] girls in real life, can you now?

 

;A;
I kinda expected it. >: BUT I STILL CAN HOPE!
... Okay, there's no hope. ;A;

And lol at the thread getting slightly derailed.

 

...teehee. :3

Don't worry, I'm done discussing. I've been waiting far too long - I want to continue watching Lucky Star.
