Ryu 15 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've always said that the only difference between men and women are genitals and chest, we can have the same tastes, hobbies, preferences ect. I belive girl playing eroge are amazing because, first of all, they just doens't lock themselves up in Anime/Manga alone, Visual novels are just another form of japanese entertaintment besides Anime and manga, and girls playing it and learning about it is a good thing.

KennyMcCormick 10 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm another girl who plays eroge, so I can't really say much about guys opinions....but I can mention what I'm in it for. I'm into it for the story (of course, that's what everyone says about anything close to porn, so....^^;; ) and I just find some of the concepts interesting. Yes, I get looked at weird, but who cares -- if I get to experience stories such as Katawa Shoujo's inspiring tales, who cares! So long as it's not a more 'heartless' game such as Idols Galore or Virgin Roster where the 'hero' is definitely too cruel for my taste, I'll have my fun with it. ^_^ Oh, and before anyone says I should play otome games....no DS emulator really wants to cooperate with me on the Tokemeki Memorial games (I'd prefer the girls anyway -- is 2 translated? Those look really really cute ;w; ) and Yo-Jim-Bo just doesn't catch my interest -- all of the characters seem sort of....dull, anyway, so :/ IF there are any better ones, though I'd like to know ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arco 10 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh, and before anyone says I should play otome games....no DS emulator really wants to cooperate with me on the Tokemeki Memorial games (I'd prefer the girls anyway) Ah, those finnicky DS emulators... I had a lot of trouble playing DS games in the past, but here's the key to playing almost anything: get no$gba (the emulator), no$ZOOMER (add-on for the emulator), and copies of the NDS BIOS files, which include firmware.bin, BiosNds7.rom, BiosNds9.rom, and biosgba.rom. If you've got all of these things, you can launch the emulator using the NDS's 'operating system' and then select the game from the DS startup screen like you would if you were actually playing a real DS. For some reason, launching the games in that way will make them work right, as opposed to starting the game directly. I know that might have sounded complicated, but it's definitely worth it to figure it out. I can answer questions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saya no Uta, Sekien no Inganock, Katawa Shoujo, Tsukihime, etc. They're all extraordinary games that would be almost as extraordinary without any H IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AoFylian 10 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hmm... A girl playing eroges.... I think that is fine, like Ryu said boys and girls are not too different, I think it would be cool if I knew a female eroge in RL that I could discuss visual novels with, it would be interesting to get her point of view. I do know 1 or 2 girls in RL that watches anime, but none that read eroge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryugenzawa 11 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm not really surprised.. Ore no Imouto has a lot of real life elements in it.. So I know that there are girls who play eroges.. But what I really want to know is if there are girls playing eroge that has medium to hardcore H-scenes in it.. I'm just curious y'know.. Speaking of which, I like playing eroge regardless of it being an All-Ages or it has H-scenes.. But I'm never touchin games with NTR:mad:... Godammit... I wish I learned of what it meant first rather than reading a whole manga(H) to find out:mad: NTR is pure RAGE fuel.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cerxer1 11 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think it's great that girls play eroge. Nuf said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BASARA 10 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Maybe some of you know the anime Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai. The protagonist is a girl who loves anime and eroge, especially little sister themed eroge. One day her brother finds out everything, so she asks him to help her with several things. So, my question is: What do you think about girls who play eroge? I am a girl and I do play eroge, but not because of the Hentai scenes. I just like the stories, the music, the characters and the cute girls. I don't know any other female eroge-otkau, except Kirione from OreImo. Do you know any? Ohh ^^ well you're the first girl I've known that likes Eroge games, I'm guessing a lot of other girls do, but aren't very open about it ^^ I absolutely love the story's and music too XD their really calm and soothing most of the time ^^ (The ones I've played anyway XD) And etooo, nupe x3 I'm still browsing lol, but hopefully we can discover a lot more XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haika 12 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 omgawd, there are no girls on the interwebs what are you talking about.... >.> *cough* I'm sure that there are female eroge gamers out there. You're fooling yourself if you think that females as a whole don't ever watch porn. Just because someone is a female doesn't mean they don't get aroused by their own fetishes and visual stimuli. In the same way, it's not a huge stretch to find females that like these sort of games. I suppose it comes down to the ratio of women willing to admit it. Gaming in general is traditionally a male thing, add in the sort of games we enjoy as well and the ratio becomes even smaller. My personal masculine $0.02 dropped into the bucket.

Out of curiosity, have you read Yume Miru Kusuri? I wonder where on the spectrum of "porn vs. plot" that VN would fall, in your opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ajlez 10 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) DID NOT REALIZE HOW LONG THIS WAS WHILE WRITING..SORRY ^_^; I'm awful at being brief... Hi guys! I threw out that I'm also a female in the "how did you get into eroge" thread already ^^ I didn't expect I'd see a thread with this title since I didn't see any other girls posting there (I stopped reading though, I try not to get too involved in forums anymore). I'd like to say a few things about this. Someone asked about the whole male main character bit - and actually since I was a child, I have to say I've only been able to identify with male protagonists most (all?) of the time. I can read the writing of a male and identify with it, feel like it is the same as me, my own mind. It's always been that way. It takes a hell of a lot more looking for me to find a female I can identify with. I have now, but there are usually things that separate me from other women which bother me, whereas the things that separate me from thinking like a man are much less alienating to me... And of course, women characters written by men are often god awful, empty, and seemingly thoughtless. I do still identify the female that is closest to me that you get to screw (or hopefully screw? whatever), but in that case I'm looking at very few characteristics because she probably has few to begin with. I also stated this already, but my favorite erogame is Eve: Burst Error - which has a female protagonist as well as male, and I love them both. That was the first game I played where I could identify somewhat with how the female was "thinking" and such, even though in reality the character is much different from me (I am introverted, nervous, and mostly jobless, for example). The US version has the sex scenes removed (not why I played it, I go for the games with the sex you know, even though I play for story/environment/characters), and I actually really wanted to see them for once. I should note to anyone who hasn't played this though, that after hearing how great it was, I was pretty bored until quite later in the game - but I have no problem waiting for something to get better. I also played Desire for the fact it had a female lead to play, and that I prefer detectivey games, however Desire depressed the living $(*#$ out of me and I hated every turn it took. Besides that I played some god awful female lead game I don't recall the title of that was just a bunch of unsexy, depressing rape, and now I'm playing my first yuri game but hardly got into it yet, and I expect it to be boring. :/ Oh wait, I played that old wrestling game too back in the day..haha, at least the drawings were good.. I think. I like the sharp art from old games compared to today's smoothed-over drawings. I don't need realistic drawings, they're less...cozy to me. Since I started erogames at age 14~ (for sexcuriosity and readstorygameplay) I didn't tell anyone else about it for a few years - in fact back then I didn't even know the holy fact that every guy masturbates. However some years later I saw some friends (male, I only really have male friends..still, but I'm not a lesbian) of mine online joking about a certain game, and it just so happened... I'd played it. They were trying to hide it from me and act like I shouldn't know what they were talking about - oops So I slowly admitted to a couple of my friends what I'd played and we started sharing our experiences and download locations. Now it's no big deal to me, I'll tell people even if I think they'd find it laughable. I know some of the games I've played are ridiculously stupid, and I don't regret playing them I haven't been playing lately, so I don't know much about the latest games, in the last year I only played Kara no Shoujo (I liked it, but the whole "In Japan, crazy things can happen but they don't really affect us in any way" thing is tough to stomach so much of!!) and Soul Link (didn't expand in many ways that I wanted to, but I guess it wasn't bad). Now I am searching again, but I am picky, and any game you think a girl would like, unless you like it too I doubt I will. I prefer adult characters now, it gets a little old trying to identify with my high school self Searching for that alone is difficult! Oh, and I've never skipped past sex scenes even if they are crap. I can appreciate something sexy even if the writing is awful, but really I just want to see characters that matter. I also kind of want to check out some... anime... now, but I sure chose a bad time with upload websites being massacred Edited February 27, 2012 by Ajlez Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arco 10 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^ Epic wall of text you have there lol. Challenge accepted. Let's see... Wow, this is a great post! Exactly the kind of insight I was looking for (as I am a guy hehe). Firstly, welcome to the forums! Always a good thing to have more girls around here lol. It's interesting to hear that male MCs work better for you, though you're right that men often suck at writing female characters. Since I started erogames at age 14~ (for sexcuriosity and readstorygameplay) I didn't tell anyone else about it for a few years - in fact back then I didn't even know the holy fact that every guy masturbates. However some years later I saw some friends (male, I only really have male friends..still, but I'm not a lesbian) of mine online joking about a certain game, and it just so happened... I'd played it. They were trying to hide it from me and act like I shouldn't know what they were talking about - oops I laughed pretty hard when I tried to picture this situation in my mind- a bunch of guys talking about an eroge loudly, then a girl walks by and they hush up and start to be more secretive, and then the girl leans over and says nonchalantly, "Oh, game XXX? I've played that, it was pretty good, but the ending annoyed me.", and the guys are like O_O!! hahaha Oh, and I've never skipped past sex scenes even if they are crap. I can appreciate something sexy even if the writing is awful, but really I just want to see characters that matter. I also kind of want to check out some... anime... now, but I sure chose a bad time with upload websites being massacred This reassures me lol. I tend to do the same thing in that I just watch most H scenes and don't skip any. I'm pretty sure everyone here agrees that we want characters that matter as well lol; if we didn't, we wouldn't be reading these things in the first place. And yes, the filesharing situation has us all by neck at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ajlez 10 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Arco I was just thinking, why am I worrying about how much I write when this is a forum about games you *read* (mostly)! Well, no one has to read it anyway. I remembered another thought I had when I was younger - when I first loaded up True Love and looked at the girly, pink title screen. I could only think "How are these games for adult men? How do a bunch of old guys sit around and create girly looking things like this...?" it made me feel a little bit like I belonged there playing it... very confusing. I played another game this year I forgot to mention. Monster Girl Quest XD My roommate downloaded it and I thought it would be boring, however he called it quits after seeing the drawing style of the goddess and hearing it contained vore. Nevertheless I liked the cute house you start out in so I picked it up myself, and in the end I was upset when the game just ended out of nowhere! I'm becoming self conscious about how many paragraphs I start with I now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ajlez 10 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Not all Girls like Guys I think the point was hoping that *your girlfriend* likes guys If you are a guy that is... I like both, but I've never been with or loved a woman. And to SaruDa... I'm too honest to speak covertly! It's not a big deal for me now, I'm not 16 so I'm not a sex object anymore right?!

SaruDa 11 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Girls should only playing eroge otomes only... Seeing your girlfriend drooling over "Sono Hanabira" would surely turn you off. So girls are only supposed to like games specifically aimed at women? My experience with such fiction is that it tends to have less substance than fiction written without paying special attention to audience. For instance, J.D. Salinger's work should appeal to more women than 'Twilight', in an ideal world IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hartschaotica 10 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Don't mean to spark up any flames or sound pretentious but this whole topic irks me. Mostly because of the "Ore no Imouto" portion. I'm a girl and I used to have to hide in my room (back in 2006), next to my laptop, afraid that my brother would walk in and call me a lesbian. Why is it trendy to like eroge now? No girls then...
