Digitally Downloaded writes: There was one of the semi-frequent Internet blow-ups late last week/ early this week, when a games journalist decided to write a review in which he states that fans of a certain game are perverts and perverse. Naturally that didn't go down so well with aforementioned fans of that game, or games like it, because contrary to popular belief within some circles, liking a game that has bikini girls or even (GASP!) nudity doesn't turn someone into a 'pervert' any more than Call of Duty, or any of the three billion games out there that depict gun death, turn people into mass murderers.
Despite the startling hypocrisy, it does remain a fact that games, particularly those that hail from Japan, are considered to be self-evidently perverse by many journalists, as long as they contain 1) women (or girls) and 2) clothing that doesn't rival the hijab or nun's habit for sheer conservatism. Rarely is context considered, so anything subversive, satirical, or empowering (because in Japanese stories, sexuality is often considered empowering) is still dismissed as exploitative and demeaning.
So, anyway, this week I'm listing ten games that got slammed unfairly for their depiction of sexuality, and I love them all. If you think that makes me a pervert, then take your gun games and GTAs and stay the hell away from me, you mass murdering lunatic.
Dungeon Travelers 2 is hella pervy, but it's also one of my favourite RPGs ever thanks to its intricate labyrinthine dungeons, excellent battle and levelling systems and thrilling white-knuckle boss battles. The sexy characters and enemies are a bonus. XD
Nothing wrong with pervy game as long as the girls are 18+ and dont look and act as a 3 year old.
They were never misunderstood it's just that the PC culture happened and deemed them to be the devils spawn but thankfully level headed gamers enjoy and play them for what they are just games.
If music and video games aren’t a match made in heaven, then at least they deserve to be happy. Without doubt the scores and songs to our favorite games help greatly to make them the incredible experiences they are. Let’s look at a few favorites from a huge span of years.
I've long considered myself a JRPG fan, but for many years it was actually much more accurate to say that I was a Final Fantasy fan, devouring anything and everything Square-Enix put out with the Final Fantasy name on it. In the last couple of years or so, though, I've been exploring many of the less well-known delights of the genre, and making some wonderful, memorable discoveries in the process.
I love the updated combat system!
Looks nice untill the battle started!!!There better be more scenery or something.
i rike it!
Yes!
Man, March can't come soon enough.
@Redempteur down there:
Actually, I found the voices in this one to sound pretty average/good. Aoto's voice is just fine, and the only thing that comes as odd is how they say Japanese names in English. But that's not really a big deal.
