[Zerosuit connor]

Solution, get emails from right hand.

Would the virtual gf send you naughty pics. lol.

 

[smile72]

I don't understand all the negativity toward this.

how can you _not_ understand it?

taking a game too far man

Precisely. Some people in Japan have already married some of their "virtual girlfriends"

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If they want to marry a virtual girlfriend. That's fine with me.

 

[chyyran]

My god, are people really that desperate?

 

[Hyro-Sama]

This is fucking retarded.

 

[InuYasha]

I don't understand all the negativity toward this.

It's pretty pointless and sad to say the least,you could do the following and it would be less sad then paying for a "virtual" girlfriend....

1.Go to a random internet chat site and beg girls/fake girls to be your GF
2.Drooling over anime/manga girls
3.Waxing your carrot to pictures of random google pics,etc etc

I'm sure I could make up some more things less sad but I don't feel like it...

Manaka, Nene, and Rinko are manga girls as well, how do I know this well I own and have read Love Plus Nene Days, Rinko Days, and Girls Talk manga.

You're butthurt because some people are doing something about their loneliness in an unorthodox but positive way.

I forgot that my copy shipped and will be here later tommorrow.

Anyone who is actually considering doing this is pathetic. There's a fine line between liking otaku-related stuff, and being a full on, isolated, weeaboo outcast with a virtual girlfriend. If you're that lonely and desperate to the point where you'll spend hundreds of dollars importing software/hardware, paying for subscriptions, etc., all to have a virtual anime girlfriend, something is wrong with you. Even if you live in Japan and have this easily available to you, that's just incredibly sad, and there IS something wrong with it.

It's not normal to be attracted to a virtual character in a video game, at least this extreme. Just like it's not normal to be attracted/obsessed to inanimate objects like some people.

No such thing as normal in the 21st century, just crazy, crazier, and just flat out insane.

The target audience in a nutshell.



Edit:

You're butthurt because some people are doing something about their loneliness in an unorthodox but positive way.

Falling in love with a fictional character to the point where you would consider this service is no way, shape, or form positive.

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

Oh look, another way for that guy who married one of the Love Plus girls to feel like he married a real girl.

Falling in love with a fictional character to the point where you would consider this service is no way, shape, or form positive.

When you figure in the fact that Japan has a high suicide rate and loneliness is one of the main causes I think this is positive, suicide in no way shape or form is positive and nobody deserves that fate.

Is marrying a fictional character preventing loneliness, though? If anything, this only encourages and promotes it.

Plus, the whole issue of suicide in Japan is a bit more complicated than just "people are lonely".

I read this and all I see is arguments going back in forth about how this game is positive/negative. I see Konami going: "The game and services will sell like hotcakes!!!!".

Your views differ from mine. That's fine with me and I respect your views

and you think when it dawns on a person that they really are alone in the world, and that this fictional girlfriend/wife is really just fiction, wont drive some people do some some drastic things?
It helps nothing, and it even hinders things if people get so emotionally attached to these pixels that they one day even reject a real girl because of it, and I guarantee it'll happen.
It's a false positive. It can have some "positive" side effects, but in reality there's nothing but negatives for this idea.

This is correct.

I agree!!!! Maybe it will now come to North America!

There is no market for it here unfortunately.

Not necessarily, if someone like NISA localizes it, it would have a chance.
