Why aren't more vidya protags complete assholes?
>>729711718Triggers people who were bullied
>>729711718Same reason why rance discussions are about to become impossible.Hordes of barely sentient fags invading everything that still breathes.
Just give me Rance X.
>>729712790As soon as I get a release window I'm going to start a replay of the series.1-5 are pretty quick, I'm sure you can beat them all in a week or two. Then it slows the fuck down, especially if you do the IF content in 7.
>>729711718You still have to make the effort to find a way to make them compelling or entertaining to watch regardless of morality. And most people lean towards wanting to play the good guy by default.
>>729711718People usually wants to play as a good guy.Also writing an asshole you are interested in is very hard.
>>729711718More people identify more with victim sad-sack characters than the funny asshole character now.
>>729712896You say it like it's a hard thing, simply being a contraction will get the character a huge following
>>729711718I don't get why he has such a strong reputation. He is an ass, sure, but it is not THAT special, in comparison to many other characters.
>>729712896Is there any hope I'll ever get more Katana Zero?
>>729713665BELIEVE
>>729713582Rance God lore is really fuckedRance basically destroys their endless demiorge cycle of torment that the shit god whale inflicts onto all living creatures because he thinks its funny Rance has no level cap and thus infinity potential All his children also have no level cap except for demon Rance who does
>>729713582Because he's funny and the concept is well executed. Rance has a certain charm, a certain je ne sais quoi, that many other dickhead wildman characters lack. Whether it's his foes or the situations he finds himself in or the gags or the times when he gets comeuppance, Rance just sells it better
>>729713801devils don't have levels to begin with
>>729713893I dont mean that he is not well developed. I just don't understand the post-spaming of how much of an asshole he is. He doesn't seem that evil to me. At least not so much, to be so hated online.
>>729713582Because Rance is a really complex character in a setting that compliments his every trait.He's a brutish dork who's more akin to a child than a man, yet he's clearly sensitive, funny and has enough grit to change reality itself for the girls he cares about.
They exist, play Soul (Ki)Nomad right now.
bump attack!
>>729713582Rance levels up really fast (and in turn loses levels fast) which makes him get absurdly strong. Other anons mentioned it already but he has no level cap and he can actually bump the level cap of girls he fucks at some point. He also has level 2 sword so he's a natural sword master (he also has shield lv 1 but hasn't used a shield in the entire series).He's a glitch in the system that would normally have been killed by the gods but they think he has potential to inflict mass pain and suffering so they havent yet.
>>729713582on top of what other anons said, it also helps that rance has a ton of games for him to develop as a character and people who play the whole series get to personally see his peaks and valleys>starts as a completely selfish sex-crazed idiot in 1 and only accidentally solves the case>ends the series as a genuinely good dad, still sex-hungry but actually cares about his women and has multiple incredibly shocking OOC moments to protect those he truly loves
Onoha? More like: oh no, hot!
>>729714154>d. I just don't understand the post-spaming of how much of an asshole he isanon, if Rance chances upon a person hanging off a ledge. If it is a guy, he would kick them down himself. If it is a girl, he would pull her up and then rape her on spot. He often goes out of his way to do shit just to spit and humiliate people he is barely tangentially aware of, just because it is funny.
>>729719381An inspiration to us all.
>>729711718Between him and cain from dod who is asshole'er?
>>729711718>mfw Rance games are coming to Steam
>>729711718Hard to write a likeable asshole and even harder to sell a rapist even tho all the rapes some how become consensual.
>>729719381>If it is a girl, he would pull her up and then rape her on spotHIGHLY unlikely he'd even bother with helping her up
>>729719251more like Onaho(le) amirite fellas
>>729719718Caim isn't a asshole, just a sociopath
Rance is pajeet coded
>>729712790Togashi's STILL ON HIATUS
>>729712790I wonder if Togashi has played Rance. He'd probably love it.
>>729719956>buzzwordscall it tranime uncslop while you're at it
>>729720047not an argument, rancjeet lover
>>729711718>Gets a crossover game and cucks you of cast you likeWhy are Rance fans okay with this?
>>729712790editing about 50% done as of one month ago
>>729720095no reason to argue
>>729711718Would rance work if he was female?
>>729713665Silkdong never ever(tm) actually came out, anything is possible.
>>729711718>Why aren't more vidya protags complete assholes?Pic unrelated I assume?
Im not playing eroge because the mc is funny
>>729720223
>>729719774>allHaha
>>729720472is mind break considered consent?
>>729720223Only if she was a shota hunter>>729719827I love Arms, she's so good
>>729720223ask ranceko
>>729720740>not rankoSmh
>>729711718Is Rance X any good? I enjoyed Sengoku Rance very much and I want to play similar games but I have no interest in playing the other Rance games.
>>729713893>a certain je ne sais quoiIs it even possible to say this out loud without being a huge homosexual?
Rance is a good guy. Tertiaries wouldn't know this.>>729721165Its not translated and I havent gotten around to it myself but I've heard its absolute peak. It only gets better the more games you've played too. Quest and helman are both good so just play those in the meantime.
>>729721165Rance X is literally for people that played the entire series or at least most games. Play Kichikuou Rance, it's better anyway.
>>729711774So, /v/?
>>729721165>is it goodIt's fantastic>is it similar to sengokuabsolutely not>I have no interest in other Rance gamesthen don't bother, X is the culmination of the entire 30 year old story and given how sengoku is mostly disconnected from the rest you'd just get overwhelmed and lost
>>729721279Non!
>>729721165>I enjoyed Sengoku RancePlay Dai Sengoku Rance. The mod is really good and basically a Sengoku Rance version of Rance X.
>>729713070This is too big a trvke for a rance thread
The only good Rance game is SengokuIt's amazing how the actual RPG games are mediocre as fuck
>>729711718People say this when Rance himself got neutered so fucking hard from his peak asshole self (Kichikuou Rance). Not even Rance fans apparently want an asshole.
>>7297215546 is much superior to Sengoku.
>>729721554Everyone says this, but I like the RPG games. Quest was great
>>729721554dogshit secondary opinion
>>729711718They are it's just they are niggers now.
>>729721554secondary
>>729712790>"you wanna lick my asshole?">"No!"Rance is gay
>Black souls 1/2 have bad scenes!>I fap my dick raw to both games>Rance games have mediocre gameplay!>I really enjoy the gameplayWhat's going on, fellas?
stop with the tribal bullshit and post your favorite song from the series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lOfRAvVCVo
OG Kratos is massive cunt
>>729721938Black Souls sex scenes are indeed garbage. Don't try to rationalize your shit opinion by using Rance.
>>729721634Rance 6 is pretty much Kichikuo Rance he mellows out after Sengoku or Quest.
>>729722000>Rance 6 is pretty much Kichikuo RanceNo he is not. Kichikuou is unreached in all aspects. Literally at the beginning of Rance 6 Rance does care about one of the male prisoners dying. Rance caring about a male is not peak Rance.
>>729722000the prospect of losing sill forever straightened him outnice digits
>>729722073why would he care whether is dumb useless slave lives or dies?
>>729721985he also fucked bitches in 2 or was it 1?
>>729711718Because it scares away reviewers.
>>729722120Because male tsundere
>>7297221351 and 3
>>729722120*sob* *sob*
>>729722072But in 6 he murders a tranny, he don't do that Wokechikuo, he even makes a fag his chief alchemist.
>protag is such a massive cunt the game ends with a song performed by the in-game characters celebrating that he is deadhttps://youtu.be/I2XZoEHCawg
>>729722271In 6 he goes trough great effort to save a tranny though. >he even makes a fag his chief alchemist.He doesn't, it's just the most talented person in the kingdom assigned to the task and he saves multiple women for Rance so it was the right decision.
Part of the fun in Rance is not only getting to pilot the asshole, but also that asshole getting punished in various humorous ways because of him being dumb/bad
>>729722120shut up Lia
>>729722173Glad he became a better man
>>729722545save what tranny
>>729713582Yeah always seemed like cope to me.
>>729722854The same he kills. But doesn't change the fact he went out to save a literal tranny and all his bitches laugh about it.
Rance is a funny series but Rance himself is mostly just plot armor the character. I honestly wouldn't be able to name a series where the universe bends harder to give the protagonist literally everything on a silver plate and turn everything dumb or evil he does into something good for him.The series only works because it's pretty much pure comedy.
>>729722960he wasn't saving him, he was infiltrating a group of female bandits where each room had a prettier girl inside only for rance to ignore them thinking the leader must be the prettiest aroundthey're laughing because rance got blueballed
>>729711718We losers don't like that shit, we are not like Chads.
>>729723141Yeah no shit, but it doesn't change the fact that he went trough great efforts for a tranny. Killing the tranny was the least thing he could do to restore his honor but he doesn't receive bonus points for it.
>>729722960He thought that was a hot woman at first he killed xer and turned xim into piles of meat right after. In wokechikuo? He settles down. For what? So he can save a hoe that only bothers him.
>>729720223No, but I can't really speak for cucks, agps, trannies, fags and such..
>>729723230>yea no shit
>>729723309>wokechikuoHonestly fuck off. Even with shitposting, being such a hard discord faggot is unreal.
>>729723085>I honestly wouldn't be able to name a series where the universe bends harder to give the protagonist literally everything on a silver plate and turn everything dumb or evil he does into something good for him.I could think one or two
>>729723623Which one? Keep in mind Rance literally pacified the sadistic creator of his entire universe.
>>729723380wokechikuofag melty? rancid ain't got no rizz in wokechikuo he deadass tap druggie cake and get his girl stolen by red guy, my mans need a slave to get a girl to fuck him *skull emoji* *skull emoji* *fire emoji* no cap fr
>>729723871Alright, asmongold watcher that enjoyed the series trough youtube videos.
>>729724061You'll be real surprised when asmongold is revealed to have fucked dozens of underage fans making him the modern Rance
>>729723623Shirou or Rean
>>729724160>You'll be real surprisedNo one cares, eceleb faggot. Close the thread, the gacha dailies are waiting to get done.
>>729723085Except the universe routinely fucks him over because he's an overconfident retard>in 3 leazas falls because he sold his holy arms and can't fight back>in 4 the god of light takes away his levels and sends him to a flying island>in 6 he almost dooms humanity to fuck urza>everything with pastelI don't care about plot armor as long as it's just a tool to put him into more trouble
>>729724265What gatcha do you wanna talk about fellow asmon watcher?
>>729724310Everything you named turned out to be a benefit for him, which is literally what plot armor does. I genuinely don't get why you would even try to argue this at all like Rance has writing to take seriously. It's a pure comedy series that doesn't take itself seriously.
>>729723886Literally me.
>>729724504you said he gets handed everything on a platter, which he doesn't (mostly)the constant loop of getting fucked over and working his way back up is what makes it funny
If you start to argue with someone first ask them to explain their terms otherwise 99% they will waste your time.
>>729712790This bitch should've had a bad end scene just for leaving my party bloody every time.
About to play the 03 Remake. On another note, any good (un)translated eroge RPGs released this decade? I remember playing Eushully games and i liked them having turn-based battlesystems.
I can't believe someone's seething about Rance. It's a classic sure but its not really that popular to attract even the SJW posters on xitter.
>>729720223Yes, but that probably won't please sexually repressed incels who are afraid of strong female that is rancette
>>729725374Mostly doujin games. Commercial eroge game are pretty much dead.
>>729726165>Commercial eroge game are pretty much deadWhat the fuck happened?
>>729726494gachas
>>729726521Otaku just spent on other things? Grim.
alicesoft is currently a gacha game company...
Rance rapes loliHe fullfils my wishes and fetish
>>729726664
>>729726494Collapse of the japanese economy combined with restrictions on what types of content could be sold in japanese stores.>>729726521Gacha isn't the reason, it's just where otaku went after VNs died. You have the chicken and the egg backwards. Gacha got big because of the death of eroge.
>>729712386They'll get filtered, probably, did Black Souls getting on Steam change anything in terms of discourse?
>>729726930Yes because now my friends' steam libraries are tainted by Black Souls
>>729726875Otaku culture peaked around Haruhi and Lucky Star. It all went downhill after that.
>>729726875>Gacha got big because of the death of erogeThis is literally wrong since gacha is a thousands of times bigger market. And gachas came after non ero VN were already established and even more successful than eroge so the store reason is also bullshit since VNs are generally dead, not just eroge.
>>729726494>(your fetish here) is not included in games sold on the platform>people don't buy the gamesI wonder why..
>>729720451Wait, really?
>>729727087>this is literally wrong since gacha is a thousands of times bigger marketAnime in general is a thousand times bigger than it was 20 years ago when VNs were at their peak.>And gachas came after non ero VN were already establishedAfter the medium died you mean. Only a handful still got made in the 10s. No where near the 90s and 2000s.>even more successful than eroge Not hard to be more successful than something that barely exists now outside of the doujin space.>the store reason is also bullshit since VNs are generally dead, not just erogeIt's a law that affect a multitude of media, not purely eroge. Manga, anime, VNs, basically anything anime-otaku related suffered.
>>729726494If you didn't notice LITERALLY EVERY INDUSTRY DIED IN 2008
>>729723310buddy, you're in a rance thread
>>729727640I was born in 2006.
>>729727493VNs died around corona. Gacha became popular starting in 2015. It's literally VN companies have seen the success of games like Fate Grand Order and moved to gacha. How is that not gacha killing VNs?
>>729711718But anon, the greatest video game protagonist of all time is Luca Blight and he's a complete asshole.
>>729727493>law that affect a multitude of mediaI know about laws that prohibit incest in anime and manga but are there new laws or something? Is this why Anime these days is censored as fuck?
>>729713893He's popular because he gets all the female characters pregnant and molests his female progeny at the end of the series.
>>729723230did he know it'll be a tranny before hand?
anyone played eien no aselia? good/bad? amy cuckrape shit?
>>729711718so did the cucking really happened on x? I saw this somewhere but I thought miki is untouchable like ranmaru
>>729727834VNs died around 08-10
>>729729818Source?
>>729730556Being alive and seeing it first hand.
>>729731390>the source is I made it the fuck upAlright then.
>>729711718Let's go, faggots!>Best Boy>Best Girl>Best Gameplay>Best Story>Best version of My Glorious Days
>>729731517Yes.
>Rance>complete assholeI have only played Sengoku, but he overall seemed like a nice guy.Wouldn't allow my girl within a mile of him, but otherwise...
>>729729297It's a scene, Rance hypnotises Miki into thinking he's kentarou, but eventually he undoes after he's had enough sex, supposedly it's not canon as it isn't mentioned in part2, but who knows.
>>729732308He only likes young attractive women so you don't have anything to worry about.
>>729727493>Anime is a thousand times biggerIt's not. American-ordered Japanese animation has become big. Anime is not.
>>729732375Christmas Cake-age MILFs are still easily within his target range.
>>729711718No one likes niggers in real life and no one likes niggers in games.
>>729732614His official range is 14-29 I believe. He makes an exception when the girl looks younger than 30 too.
>>729732735
>>729732981He updated it in Rance Quest, it was a plot point for Copandon. Though since Rance X exists he is a hag fucker anyway.
>>729733123I see
>>729711718Because that's toxic masculinity or something, idk
>>729733123Yeah, in Rance Quest he said 15~29 specifically, causing Copandon to freak out because her 30th birthday was coming up
>>729732981https://youtu.be/u3MgDZFAK3E?si=qVsGnzT4PDD2cBsG
>>729713567>simply being a contraction?
>>729711774Honestly? The most easily triggered people probably weren't bullied at all. That's probably why they think bullying is so much worse than the reality of it.
>>729713665Someday. Though at this point I wish they had just pulled a Silksong and let me buy a full sequel instead of a DLC epilogue
>>729721935atm is literal shit taste.
>>729735746I was bullied, but without physical approach, depending on the setting it gets easily out of hand and turns into vile shit. I like Rance a lot, bullying just made me bitter and asocial for a long period of time.
>>729736397That sucks, and I'm sorry to hear that. But I don't think the average liberal was bullied much at all. It kind of shows in their non-socially accepted lifestyle and their own blissfully hypocritical attempts to bully people into going along with what they want. Like, if they truly suffered, I don't think they'd keep that so ready and waiting in their own toolkit.
>>729735742Contrarian
>>729735218Copa never recovered considering her terrible hair.
>>729736397I can relate. I do however fucking love characters like Rance.
>Still no release date
>>729711718There's a pretty decent amount of asshole protags and "antiheroes".
>>729741220You can list a couple dozen I'm sure, but on average? Definitely not the most popular approach. You're much much more likely to get a blank slate and/or well-meaning everyman.
>>729741629I'm sure Rance has some redeeming qualities?
Many 4chan anons emphasize with asshole characters as coping for their lives (it's retarded, I'm only naming it).I'm serious, think about people around these circles, they always consider these kinds of "asshole" characters cool. I've seen it with many anons and there is no way I'm the only one seeing this pattern.
Just got the Miki scene in X.I feel like a scumbag.
>>729732308He's pretty chill in Sengoku. In the previous games, he can be a complete piece of shit with some of the things he does.
Which games will (You) be buying?
>>729743465I find their assholishness amusing and I don't know how to fit emphasize into this sentence in a way that would be funny and fitting
Some of the shit you can do in pic rel is just downright cruel. I had to take a shower after breaking the mother (right after busting the biggest nut of my life).
>>729722135>>729722173In all three titles actually1 and 2 at the beginning and halfway through 3
>>729743409Rance is only ever a hero because it's coincidentally lined up with his own goals or it would make a girl indebted to him. Or the brand of evil of the villain is so dark, it would spell the end of the world... and Rance's good times. Like demons torturing/murdering all the humans which wouldn't really let him indulge in sex anymore. But I'm not sure I'd call him a good guy. He very much believes in the right to rape whom he pleases when he conquers nations, for example. But fortunately(?) the women he does that to are typically portrayed as enjoying it.
>>729720223A female protag that's a horny serial rapist wouldn't work well, since most guys don't like turbosluts.A female protag that's as much of an unrelenting asshole as Rance results in a top-tier girl however
>>729743602Nah, it's just coping for what I've seen. People frustrated with their lives that see the "I do what I want " character triumph, and they aspire to be him.
>>729743550Is there a way to avoid it? I don't want to cuck my bro Kentarou.>>729743409He's got some, the main thing is that compared to various villains, he's not nearly as bad. He'll be the guy who saves the kingdom, at the cost of having sex with the princess, consent is optional.
Rance is funny most of the time but every now and then he does something cruel like rape a girl in public just for the fun of it (not a villain either) and I hate him again. He goes beyond just being an asshole and crosses too many lines, which in turn makes me think less of the girls who like him too.
Unfortunate that the way to unlock this secret isn't shown in the guide for Rance 4, quite easy to get it anyways, I guess
>>729744335In Rance III he just kills the shopkeeper for no reason at the start, he's just that angry and selfish to the point of being a murderhobo sometimes.
>>729720223I'm amazed there's not an otome version of rance, let alone a gay version.
>>729711718I hate assholes even more than their pathetic victims.
>>729721993I can enjoy both, what now?
>>729743645Shame about where things are now.
>>729744241The Miki thing is an optional event. You have to beat a super boss just to get it.
>>729744078Vance is only a villain because feminism is so in grained in world culture. No one would give a fuck about rape if feminism didn't exist. I can guarantee every single king emperor historical ancient cult of personality raped. Historically if your worst quality was raping women especially during conquest, then you were still a pretty cool and good dude , provided you won your conquest
>>729746224Rance is just a Greek hero like Zeus.
>>729720223How will he nakadashi Shizuka
