Dating sims are the most pathetic genre of video game. How much of a loser do you have to be to play one of these?

Even if I agreed with your message, would you say the same thing if it was basically the same idea but for women or girls?

PS: Anyone who is interested in Hakuoki should play it.

>Mistranslation or schizo girl?
Schizo girl, definitely. She is the kind of girl that would give you a dark piece of glass she found on the beach after beating you up (while wearing cat ears), with bombs, probably.

The bombs are way too hard. They should have nerfed them. They just throw four of them at you at once and there's nothing you can do.
>>
>>743410818
I had trouble with those bombs too, but after my third attempt, I just locked in and beat her up- uh I mean won her battle
The game already had too many nerfs anyways
If the sequels drop someday, the devs better keep it at this difficulty and no easier than this
I enjoyed the rest of the fights

I'm surprised by how much people struggle with the battles in this game. I thought the new boss was too easy. I beat it in two attempts, and the only reason I didn't first try it was because I got greedy with healing items. I saw people were saying it was on par with the antler boss, and that's just crazy to me. I think they should have spread out the difficult of the attacks. The bombs are way too hard, but the rest of her attacks are too easy.

You foids will utter these lies and slither back to your Love in Deep Spaces. Keep that formed tongue behind your teeth.
>>
>>743411661
I know right
I guess the game is just pretty popular and many casual gamers play it, but that's okay.
Maybe the devs could fix the bombs attack by making an outline of the bombs' explosion range before it blows up, and maybe less bombs
I like the current difficulty though

Can anyone recommend some good dating sims? I remember playing Sim Girl and Ganguro Girl on Newgrounds way back in the day.

Dating sims are simulators in a way that rambo movies are a war simulation.
They aren't but they're still fun.

If you are willing to play a game with no erotic content in it, I highly recommend Tokimeki Memorial (game in OP). It's basically the Super Mario Bros. of dating sims. It popularized the genre, and it and its sequel are arguably still the best games within it.

Unlike modern "dating sims" which are linear visual novels with (maybe) a handful of choices that let you choose between one of a handful of girls, Tokimeki Memorial is a sprawling open ended strategy game. You take the role of a high school boy with the straightforward goal: get a girlfriend by the end of highschool.

The gameplay loop is simple.
The game is played be selecting how you spend each week of highschool. You have an array of stats. What you choose to do effects how your stats grow, and in turn, how your stats grow effects what girls you meet and how interested they are in you. You can spend turns going on dates with the girls. Dates let you directly influence their opinion of you, but time you spend dating is time you are not spending raising stats. If a girl is interested in you, they expect attention from you. Fail to give them enough attention, and they'll spread rumors about you. These rumors manifest in the form of "bombs." If a bomb is left unattended for too long, it will go off. A bomb going off makes everyone hate you and is essentially game over for a playthrough. The core of the game is trying to manage your time across raising your stats, actively pursing the girl you are targeting, and keeping everyone else happy so they don't bomb you. It's an extremely compelling loop that despite its simplicity has a surprising amount of emergent complexity.

The game has an enormous amount of content. You could do ten full playthroughs and still see only a fraction of what the game has to offer. There's hundreds of scenes across 13 dateable girls. The game is filled with secrets, ranging from incredibly minor details to large, mind bogglingly high effort pieces of content.

They're the future of gaming though.
