Lets just say... EA has ruined a lot of good games... (they were good pre-online games)

Ominous? How so?

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 08:36 PM

Oh, in that way... hmm, well, you certainly raise an excellent point with that. There are a number of games that they basically ruined completely for generations to come... but to completely avoid EA games would be a shame, since you'd miss out on a ton of fun games? That's how I see it, in any case.

Because rather than imagining "rolling on the floor, laughing", I'm actually imagining "rolling on the floor, bloody and cut in pieces", for some reason. xD

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 08:40 PM

I'll stick to my sim city windows 95 version... *clings*
Besides... they lost their lead game designer...

Hmm... well if you pick the wrong route that is a mild possibility...

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 08:42 PM

Haha! You do that. <3 Nothing beats the oldbies - and i did like that Sim City. I have no idea why they did the whole connectivity thing with SimCity 4, like wtf. /eyeroll

Ahahaha...haha...ha... oh man, definetly ominous, then.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 08:45 PM

Yup... that was an utter failure so I'm told.

Well it's pretty much minus the glass... and more falling... less bloody...

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 08:58 PM

Yeah, I've only read about it, myself. The thought alone repels me.

Ahahaha, okay then. Thanks for the heads up. x'D

Regarding Otome Games, here are a couple of links (1, 2) to lists of free English Otome Games, in case you want to try something out~ <3

Also, did you guys here about the pigeon dating sim?

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 09:02 PM

Heard about it but... umm... I dunno... dating pigeons is......... umm... confusing...

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 09:20 PM

And just plain weird?! x'D
No matter how strange it is, it's pretty adorable, too. Especialy because they say things like "everybirdie" instead of "everybody. It's called Hatoful Boyfriend, and my favourite playthrough is the one by Cry - just five minutes of it cracks me up and makes me go "awww" at the same time.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 09:22 PM

*takes a peek* still not sure I'd be comfortable admitting to playing a game like that though XD

Just like I wont admit to playing that game I mentioned to anyone I know irl [lol]

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 09:27 PM

You can always pretend to play it in an ironic way? xD I started it, but... I think I lost the save? Or something? Or my computer was being horribly slow whilst playing it and I decided to put it off until I get some better hardware? I don't remember... except that it was so hilarious.

But aww, that's a shame! You shouldn't be ashamed of things like that; you like what you like, and that's amazing and wonderful and unique. If people are going to look at you in a different, negative manner because of it, they're not worth it to begin with.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 09:39 PM

That video you linked... the game seems less and less interesting but his voice acting is hilarious... especially the "dayum" he says at most of the birds XD
"Hey... those are very bright eyeballs" XD
So lessee... one girl in a whole game of birds...

Oh no not ashamed... just overly judgmental people are the ones who happen to be related to me...

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 10:34 PM

AH, so it's like that. One cannot pick family, I'm afraid. They're the people you sometimes hate to love.

But yeah, I had the same thing. The way he's reacting to it makes the entire game - if you play the actual game, it gets pretty boring. But I just really enjoy watching HIM play it. He's got a warm voice, too, so that helps a lot. :D

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 10:36 PM

I just like his reaction like "Even I would tap that" [rofl]
And like 20 minutes in he figures out he's a girl

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 10:40 PM

A girl, named Chrystoph Sandpape. /cracks up/

Seriously. It's a shame he's not done many other otome/dating sim games. I'd watch the hell out of those.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 10:49 PM

It's a shame I can't find anymore... his reactions were funny XD

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 11:16 PM

He really has the best reactions - he's being funny without being mean, too, which is the best.

There are a number of interesting vlogs out there, of people who play video games and such... have you heard about the Achievement hunters/Roosterteeth guys? A friend of mine talked to me about it a bit, it seems interesting but I've not yet taken the time to go check 'em out.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 11:17 PM

Achievement hunters? Sounds familiar...

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 11:23 PM

It's supposed to be this whole THING, I dunno. There's even fanart of the guys who run it and people fangirl over them and it's just this whole madness that's going around in my vicinity without me actually knowing what the hell it's about.
But still. Might be worth looking into. x'D

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 11:27 PM

Well if you find out do share I'm curious now

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 11:29 PM

/salutes/ Yes, Captain, my Captain.

So far it appears to be four dudes playing video games? They have this entire thing about Minecraft, that I know, and one of them is stupidly fond of his creepers so that's probably adorable and weird... The internet goes viral with the craziest things, sometimes.

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 11:34 PM

Yeah... anyways ^^" we appear to be completely off the dating sims topic XD

ReiyukaE 04-26-2013 11:43 PM

I tried to bring it back for a bit! ;-;' But yeah, pretty much. /shy cough

There's a ton of dating sims over on Newgrounds, or at least there used to be. But a lot of them are a bit on the pervy side so in those regards it's not really good. But they're quite fun if you want to waste some time!

The Wandering Poet 04-26-2013 11:48 PM

Bleh the newgrounds stuff can be awful...

There was something on there that was an animation that reminded me of a dating sim though... except the guy had no choice in the matter...

Aoi Kazuya 04-27-2013 05:16 AM

did someone say otome games~? :3

@ReiyukaE: oooh you watch Cry and Rooster Teeth and all those~? that's so cooool xD I only follow PewDiePie religiously but I like watching some of Cry's stuff too~

Oh gosh Hatoful Boyfriend. That one just...it screwed with my emotions. I have such a rant against that game I just can't even. Like the demo is all nice and stuff but when you play the full game and you get the true path. Oh god.

I'm not sure if you guys are only looking at Japanese ones, but there are some pretty good dating sims from Korean companies as well. Personally I don't like the ones on the phones very much though I have tried a couple for android.

Oooh i noticed someone mentioned Zeiva I met her at Comic-con last year in the artist panel, her artwork is beautiful~

Anyway, back to what i was saying. there's a company called Cheritz, i thinkt hey're still relatively new. Anyway they have one game released currently called 'Dandelion - Wishes Brought to You'. (it's about animal human uh...you know I can't really describe it, haha, but it's really cute, the story is good, and the artwork is really great) There's a demo you can try out on their site and they have the full version all translated into English~ It's been my personal favorite since I bought it, haha. They have a second game in the works right now called 'Nameless' and I am so excited for it since it is related to BJDs (ball jointed dolls) xD

Here's the sites~ Dandelion~ Nameless~

I'll probably come back with more ramblings about other games at a more uh...logical time. and not some ungodly hour of the morning for myself, haha [sweat]

onsenmark 04-27-2013 05:19 AM

Hatoful Boyfriend. And I thought Seasons of the Sakura(aka "Date Your Favorite Anime Girl)(no, really, it IS) was bad... ^_^;;;

That's bad as in weird, strange, odd, etc.
