You see, the difference is that I just read eromanga/nukige when I want to jack off to porn instead of playing a game that is expressely designed to be jacked off to.

I jack off to porn but I at least admt to it.

The really dumb breast "physics" are just the icing on this "cake".


I hope you realize that this literally makes no sense whatsoever.

Everything I said makes perfect sense. Instead of playing a game that is for all intents and purposes pornography, solely because I too ashamed to admit that I like porn, I'd rather just read real porn.

The fact that this game has DOA-tier breast physics isn't helping.

Awesome as hell. Glad to see this is coming stateside. As a gamer who has no problem playing any type of game, be it a gratuitous and nonsensical fighter like Senran Kagura one minute and then something all character driven and thoughtful like Bastion the next, I'm glad to be supporting any and all types of games.

Except sports games, seriously people, just go outside and throw a football yourself.

spoiler[I am totally joking about that last statement, play whatever kinds of games you want with an open mind and with objective criticism and don't go judging others for doing something that while you may not approve of, is completely harmless to society.]


Of course 'cause that'd be like saying go outside and get some _____ yourself. Cool

But its not the same thing? You don't play Senran Kagura if you want porn. That would be...spectacularly inconvenient

I just...its a weird comparison to make, and you end up coming off sounding completely insane.

Jeez, all this talk about a game most people here have yet to even play.

Does it sell itself on cute girls and sexuality? Yes.

Does that automatically mean the game has no value outside of cute girls and sexuality? No.


Code of Princess, also on the 3DS, has a main character in one of the the flimsiest attempts at sexual armor imagined and multiple female characters but the game is still good, even if a little shallow. Dead or Alive is another example of fun games that while they advertise the females heavily, the game itself is a worthwhile gameplay experience.

I probably won't be buying it, but that doesn't mean this game (while clearly a product of Japan's more perverted mindset) should be blasted or have those that enjoy it insulted for their tastes. Its not like we are talking about a erotic heavy visual novel.

If this game isn't porn, then why does it possess such salacious fanservice shots, lascivious breast physics, and is overall so soaked in puerile fantasies?

The goddamn maker of the game admitted that he made the game because he loved the capability of the 3DS to display 3D breasts.

Because again Chagen, eroticism is NOT mutually exclusive with other content! People do not jack off to every instance of titillation they encounter. I dunno man, maybe you can't but most people enjoy fanservice without having boner! Playing Senran Kagura just to jack off is about the least efficient, worst and maybe impossible way to do it!

Eroticism isn't porn.

Like, there are legit criticism you can make of this game, but wrapping it up in this bizarre porn stuff just muddles the point and makes you look crazy.

If eroticism isn't porn, what is it? Erotcism exists to make people want to wack off, that's why it's, you know, erotic.

EDIT: hah, who'da think it, the characters are all way better looking (and dare I say sexier) when genderswapped.

You can be erotic without being overtly explicit. If you're so strongly willing to call it porn, then it's the lightest and weakest softcore porn you can market.

You're right Fencedude. I'm sorry I called your silly erotic game a silly porn game. There is technically a difference between the two even if the end purpose is essentially the same and by all rights this is the prior and not the latter.

Oh I'm definitely insulting it. I think it's really dumb. I just don't have an ethical problem with it. Do you see the distinction?

Yes yes, you would say that. Just like how I think the Free boys look better when they are genderswapped.

Anyway, Senran Kagura is a pretty decent beat-em-up with some Teen rated boobs.

Its not even near the eroticism levels of Dragons Crown, much less actual pornography.

But words have meaning? I mean, if you call Senran Kagura porn, what are you going to call actual porn? Its just bizarre you and Chagen feel like you have to go to such extremes to criticize the game, when you can criticize it perfectly well for what it is, a booby lesbian ninja game with decent beat-em-up gameplay.

I am bisexual, not gay.

The characters of SR are actually quite sexy in my eyes but the ridiculous fanservice just makes me ashamed to be a man. The way the game degrades its characters and treats them less as people and more as living sex-dolls to have their clothes blown off at the slightest provocation disturbs me.

I legit feel like some kind of voyeuristic molester everytime I see videos of this game.
