Love Plus

[tsukikage]

An interesting love simulation game. So, this game knows what time of day and year it is and adjusts things accordingly, and the girls begin to call you by your name with increasing intimacy. I want to say it's really innovative, and it is. But while I can't dismiss love simulation games altogether, it seems like this one takes it too far. Like, I feel like guys who are socially awkward would find it easy to feel like this is "real enough". Then again, maybe I'm over-reacting, and this is still far from real enough to satisfy any emotional desires or needs.

You'd be surprised what the typical ronery, socially maladjusted otaku will settle for. Can't say it's something I'd ever go for, but there're a few guys I know, where this is right up their alley.

Oh, hell, I admit that I might go for this sort of thing if the characters were guys; God knows I'm ronery enough. But do you think getting into this sort of game would make things worse, even putting aside the fact that they're all "perfect girls"?

Oh, most definitely. Not only does it raise one's standards to ridiculous, unrealistic levels (my last girlfriend was guilty of this), but in doing so, it drives the otaku further in social withdrawal, because they expect their real life to meet the standards of their fantasies.

I think way too hard about this stuff DX
