Gaming Suggest any good dating game.

[MegamanSPX]

I've read the review of Sprung and it sucks. Maybe I'll look into some Visual Novels.

 

[Curley5959]

Sprung was OK, bit boring though.. There a plenty of J ones though..

Dating sims aren't my genre at all (I mean I guess outside of Sakura Taisen) but you don't play dating games to experience dating anymore than you play tactics RPGs to get the real experience of war. Its just a game.

 

[InuYasha]

Also, why would you want one? Just experience it for yourself in real life. Nothing compares to that.
(in b4 "we can't cuz we're nerds" or something of that sort)

And you care what other people play because?

 

[da_head]

Dementium The Ward........this should 'prepare' you for a first date experience

rofl.

anywayz, like said in a previous post, there's nothing wrong with playing a dating game...
playing a dating game is nothing like dating (since when will u ever be able to date a japanese blonde girl with size f and above??)
rooofl

If you're referring to things like Tsukihime and FSN etc... well get VNDS and play them i recommend you start with Tuskihime and then try True Remembrance leave the FSN for the last since maybe if Mirror moon get their lazy asses up we'll have Heavens Feel (the 3rd route)

 

[Icey]

I never tried them, but I thought these were some...
"Feel The Magic" and "The Rub Rabbits"
Those weren't dating sims? 0.o

This is the internet. Your opinion is always better than the opinion of everybody else, and because of that, you need to let them know it.
Duh

 

[InuYasha]

Well whatever gets your jollys off so be it......you could probaly add Rune Factory to the list considering part of the game is trying to marry one of the girls......

 

[MegamanSPX]

I might add that but I want to skip the part about farming.

I'd recommend playing either Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season or Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 DUO.

Tokimemo is pretty addicting, fully voiced and has a very detailed english walkthrough, so even without knowing any Japanse it's really easy to understand and a good start for the genre. But if girl games are out of the question, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 would be the best choice, it's fairly easy, the battles against the witches are quite fun and of course, there's alot of touching. :3 The FAQ on Gamefaqs is quite helpful too if you're stuck. I don't know much about the other games, haven't played To Love Ru and just threw a quick glance at the others, but none of them looked worth playing to me.. so yeah.

I may have missed a few games in my list, but I think those are more than enough for a start. :3

Now I want Hoshizora no Comic Garden, mou. ;_;

 

[monogatari]

@Miruki:

Wow... Gonna try some for the girl ones. And I'm also interested in Hoshizora.. the release date is pretty soon, right?

 

[da_head]

wait which ones are in english and which ones are in japanese?

 

[LagunaCid]

Never heard of a non PC dating sim.

There are plenty of Japanese ones for the PS2.

like persona 3?

The release date is tomorrow! :3 I can't wait to try out those manga drawing minigames, it's such a good idea, why did no one think about it before? D:

wait which ones are in english and which ones are in japanese?
Those I listed are ALL in Japanese, BUT, Ohimesama Debut is going to be released by Natsume as Princess Debut end of this month! It's not the best game ever, but it's a good start, hopefully other games will follow.. :3

No, like Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, Angelique, La Corda D'Oro, Dear My SUN!!, Love Drops, Hiiro no Kakera, Mermaid Prism, drastic killer.... all otome games (for girls), as for the games for boys.. Kimikiss is a popular (and very fun) one, there's Memories Off, Da Capo, Aria, Izumo, Tokimeki Memorial, Princess Maker.. etc.

Persona 3 got Dating-Sim Elements, but nothing compared to those other games. I think in P4 the dating takes a much bigger role, I've only played an hour of the game so I'm not too sure. Also, Ar Tonelico has them too, those elements, but in my opinion it's not as greatly done as in Persona 4, Ar Tonelico II is going to get released this winter by NISA and Persona 4 in december by Atlus USA. Summon Night Twin Age for the DS got multiple character specific endings and cutscenes too and like in many Dating-Sims there are points where you can choose an answer (which doesn't affect the endings tho). Mhhn.. in the Growlanser games you can get the different girls to like your hero too and therefore multiple romantic endings too. Also, there's a translation patch for ehh.. Bloody Bride (PSOne), here's the translator's site. I can't think of anything else right now.. XD

Lately there have been much more girl game releases than for boys, I remember times when that was very different.. heh, seems like the genre got pretty popular. :3

 

[shairabaldama]

im really addicted to the game To Love Ru too bad it has no translation

 

[miruki]

Ahaha, I just wanted to make a note here to those who are still looking for a dating game in English, the soon to be released Avalon Code lets you date the hero/ine and spirit characters, if you choose to play as a guy you can date the girl characters and if you play a girl you can date the guy characters.

Here's the official site with detailed character information.

Hmm...I've been interested in this game, but I wasn't aware it was going to offer anything like that. So, a bit Azure Dreams, then, eh?

 

[Amici]

Try Imadoki no Vampire (Bloody Bride) for PS1. It's Japanese, but there's a full translation lying somewhere around the internet.

 

[AtomicBlue]

I don't think there are any for the DS. But I know there are these kinda games on newgrounds.com, maybe you should check it out.
