Psgamer: So, it’s difficult to really establish a base on which to review this game. I was told by faithful industry friends that it would ‘highly engrossing’ and ‘enormously entertaining’. That the story woven through this delightfully colourful tale will enthrall me and tell a narrative so compelling I would find myself questioning if people like Neil Druckmann is simply wasting his time attempting AAA game blockbusters when he could simply just play this and feel like he has accomplished all that he set out to in life. I was told these things in good faith, that Senran Kagura Estival Versus would be an experience that could elevate the genre and games as we know them.
They lied.
The Senran Kagura series is selling very well, and Peach Beach Splash continues to deliver solid performance for Marvelous Entertainment, that released its financial results.
Great franchise.
Was introduced to it in 2011 and watched the anime when it was finished airing shortly after and became one of my favorite new IP in 8th generation. With Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson being my favorite out of Burst, SV and EV.
That's good to hear, but I do hope they put more resources in refining and smoothing the combat and animation quality. There are improvements to be maid, but I do like the series.
Who doesnt like fanservice? I havent bought it yet but i will eventually just to have it..
Rather like context to fanservice making it by juvenile means makes it a joke just look at the doa series can't take that series seriously.
people who don't like animes, japanese games or watch ecchi anime and hate fanservice in anime
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.
most japanese stuff have very underage looking chars even doe they ''18''. some where on that list like hyperdimension, at first glance u think is a kid friendly family game but then u play it and perv scenes show up with very childlike characters in suggestive scenes like wtf. dat supposed to be ok? cmon
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.
I (Robin Ek, TGG) had this creepy sense of deja vu when I heard the story about "Senran Kagura" and its risk of being affected by self-censorship in the future. You see, I've been covering quite a few stories of this kind over the years. So here's my take on this particular case.
That's what I thought when I heard about this. However, I'm looking into a said statement from Kenichiro Takaki.
Good, because I want to know the deal. As I have no plans to support the series any further if they inject censorship into Senran Kagura.
The devs + publisher would lose a ton of money and fans if they go through with this.
Not only that, it might also give other Japanese devs and publishers the idea that we're cool with censorship.
Like I said in the post, it would be like removing the blood, gore, Metal and slaying from "Brutal Doom". Simply put, if you did that, then it wouldn't even be "Brutal Doom" anymore.
It was said that they planned to do so in-order to sell more games in the West, and to get higher review scores (some reviewers gave the games a low score because they didn't like the lewd content).
So they don't get into trouble with the feminists and white knights among our Western media.
The liberal plague continues to swallow the industry inch by inch. The sjw sect led by Anita will not rest until females in games wear burkas, or look like men. When they win and there's nothing more to be done they will move on toward other things more important because they were never gamers in the first place. We will be left with an industry shaken apart by the fear of feminist judgment.
If senran is censored they will most definitely lose money. Perhaps that's what it will take to make Devs realize, trying to appease those who seek proper representation of females in games they don't even play... is not the answer.
Freedoms of expressions are being taken away and subjugated by those who in actuality couldn't care less about the medium they just want to feel empowered by their actions. One perspective should not ever dominate an opposing perspective without solid facts. But even than different views should go mingle with like minded views instead of trying to dominate the entire spectrum with one defining view you feel is the right one. This is how wars have started.
To take a fantasy and claim it's representation has a negative impact on reality therefore it must be obliterated is a totalitarian fascist view in and of itself. To speak of tolerance but wanting to banish certain elements you feel perverts an individuals sense of reality. Is a delusion. Your living a lie feeding off peoples fears and lack of rational thinking.
The censorship in this country is getting completely out of hand. Take a moment to step outside the box and take a good look at those pushing these agendas. Liberalism is a desease. It gave birth to the sjw, radical feminist, white knights, their bible is the book of PC filled with the greatest lies the world has ever been inclined to believe in since the actual bible.
I said it before I'll say it again if no one is willing to stand against this oppression now don't complain later when everything we enjoyed is replaced with G rated material.
Stop by YouTube channel hunter avallone he knows exactly what's going on and isn't afraid to speak truth to the masses. Liberals greatest fear is facts truth is the bane of liberals use it.
This might become a reality for all of us in the near future if something isn't done:

Wow....that is scary. I can see how the current state of affairs influenced the writer of that manga. Your right that kind of future seems very possible right now.
@GrimDragon "Wow....that is scary. I can see how the current state of affairs influenced the writer of that manga. Your right that kind of future seems very possible right now."
- Just look at cucked Sweden, France and Canada. That's what awaits the whole Western world if the men don't grow a pair and do something about it. Me, I might just move to USA, Japan or Poland. As I can't stand this bs anymore.
Never got into this series (not because of the fanservice but because of lacklustre gameplay) but if they do add censorship they would be killing he franchise entirely.
So literally everyone else is giving this game 8s and 9s out of 10 yet here we have a 5/10.
I'm guessing that I don't need to actually read the review to know what it's going to say.
Thats not good.. Why would PS Gamer score it so low? I need to research it some more..
Holy crap, just read the last paragraph of the "review" and feel sorry for people who think like this. Also whats up with the dumb Paragraph under the title. Did this person REALLY think Senran Kagura was a game with a "narrative so compelling I would find myself questioning if people like Neil Druckmann is simply wasting his time attempting AAA game blockbusters " ?? Talk about being sarcastic. This games purpose is not telling a damn complicated story. its about the combat and fanservice. thats it. not every game has to be the same.
"Senran Kagura Estival Versus is a game designed for the unashamed chronic masturbator you’ve attempted to bury in your past as a means to grow up into a functioning adult. The one who used to rush ‘learning about your body’ before you heard keys going into your front door in fear you may be caught red handed. It’s the game that should keep the sperm count of the world at a steady rate before the inevitable follow-up arrives to delight fans everywhere. Aside from the pretty art style and the solid – if ultimately boring – combat, there’s so little here to enjoy that it’s difficult to recommend"
