I want MIRESI to have its own launcher outside Steam so they can sexualize lolis.

>>1904821Incel games basically?
>>1904916Shouldn't a lack of romantic interactions automatically disqualify a game from being "harem"? E.T.E and Haze Reverb should be deleted from the list, and a new requirement added to the list, to have explicit romantic interactions instead of just "you are my best friend" shit like other games (BA, uma musume, etc.).By this token, trickcal (my beloved) doesn't belong, because it has zero romance, its not that kind of game.
>Eversoul>Reports on some girls not being for (You) but needs confirmationYeah no, that's nonsense.
>>1904959I played both games and it's not that they're *entirely* devoid of romance but more about not being upfront about it because "saving the world" took priority.
>>1904873it will probably use that godforsaken stove launcher
>>1905062I hope they don't let Smilegate publish it LOL>>1904916Starseed Asnia Trigger's NA/KR/Global/Asian servers are on maintenance mode forever until they get "integrated with JP"https://community.withhive.com/starseed_gb/en/board/all/6546It might as well be dead atp since all big whales quit too across all servers sadly.
Tried star savior on steam so here's my review. Keep in mind that i'm just a JSL playing with JP VA and text so i skipped a large portion of the texts.the pros:>character models look good without being overdesigned and have a wide range of expression(each character has a unique set of expressions)>pantsu, nuff said>clean UI, haven't seen any text overflow or oversized texts>so far it's comfy, no plot urgency>fits the the category>1 free selector, thanks kim>JP translations seem good enough, some inconsistencies but probably nothing major>no lags, stutters, or any heat-ups with max settingsthe cons:>the greed. It's more or less comparable to NIKKE(which is a special case) while not aiming for coomer audience. All in all I don't recommend spending in its current state>content drought right off the bat. Seems like they wanted the training mode to be the main chunk of your playtime but the lack of voice acting is sleep-inducing and i haven't gotten the character that i want>no touching, no model appreciation mode. Hope these devs learn that no matter how good your models are, if they have an invisible "FOR DISPLAY ONLY" sign you won't entice anyone to buy your product>slow initial loading time. Didn't put it in my SSD but an 11 gigs game shouldn't be this slow>confusing UX but it's like every gachashit everthe mids:>dev reputation is at all time low so high chances we might see some changes before the global releasetl;dr6/10 potential game
>>1905056Sure, but then it isn't harem them. You can't just say "wait for 3 more years for the story to conclude to get a harem!", as that may never materialize.
>>1905099What's the extent of interactions with the characters? If they have 3D models I expect at least some snobble/gfl2/al dorm interactions. Is there any actual romance with the MC, or implied sex?
>>1905099>studio bside
>>1905125>SureGlad you agreed.
>>1905099dumpster fire of a game that's trying to get back dev funds, dead in JP and KR
I don't know the history behind Bside but if Horizon Walker can survive with molecular revenue so can Star Savior.
Kaleidorider status? It just went radio silent again after TGS like every other openworld gacha thats not endfield
>>1905099>>1905137RTA in SS is so dogshit compared to CS (hello yoom). Devs retard code and RTA just plays like this spam skill 3 > skill 2 > skill 1 and because CD is so long it's just everyone does 3>2>1 for their units and you wait 15 min for matchmaking KEKKERS.>Bsideindeed
>>1904916the drama with eversoul is not about them no longer being for you, but a rogue writer diminishing the mc's role a la czn, apparently still unaddressed. imo the game is a far cry now from what it was, so if anyone does give it a try note that what you see is not exactly what you're going to get later on.
>>1904916MementoMori AFKRPG definitely counts for the purposes of this list, even though everything about the gameplay sucks. The only real selling point is the kino music.Idoly Pride should also be added, especially after adding that affection system.
>>1905428>memento moriheard nothing but yurishipping from it
>>1905447Did you play the wrong game? As in a game with a similar name? Or did you just look at nothing but fanart? Go here and check all the voice lines here, they're anything but.https://mememori.fandom.com/wiki/Characters
>>1905448Ah so it's just EN community being ((them))selves, cool, noted.
>>1905466I don't know which EN community you're in, but the unofficial English discord server barely has any yuri discussion, if at all.
>>1905157They don't have the coom factor which puts them in the same camp as eversoul and BA, meaning they have to bring something new to the table besides the carnal desires of men(of which they don't).>>1905404>RTAAin't touching that so not my problem.
>>1905474There was a time where i tried to look for who sang the EN version of laments and i stumbled on leddit just to let you know that i don't play the game.
>>1905428>affection systemThat's mean nothing. Most of gachage has their own version of affection system. You should tell in detail why idoly pride deserved and ML list.
>>1905531I wouldn't have bothered to mention it if it didn't at least fulfill the base requirements listed in the OP. I was under the impression that every game that fulfilled those requirements was eligible. Was that not the case?
>ML
>>1905215Dead. After the prologue there is zero romance (despite the girls gaining their powers with a kiss from the MC), the only pandering is on the non canon side stories with the girls.Reportedly the players complained a lot about this point, and the devs promised to make the MC more important instead of cameraman from chapter 1 onward.There haven't been betas since, so we don't know.
>>1905544The requirements are still under construction. I propose to add a new one>Shouldn't a lack of romantic interactions automatically disqualify a game from being "harem"?Otherwise shit like blue archive or uma musume would qualify, when there's zero harem elements in those games. If we want to be stricter, you could add "implied sex" between the units and the MC too.
Any recs for games where most of the cast is very assertive?
>>1905751The word "harem" means there's a relationship between (You) and the characters. It doesn't apply if they are just there.Adding the romance thing is just being redundant.
>>1905748So it's going to be good, got it.
I've been thinking. Do we want our ideal harem to be gacha? I guess the pros would be constant updates and new content. On the other hand the gameplay would be extremely simple. Why are we attached to gacha?Just a thought.
i mainly play eroge with gacha on the side.
>>1905905If you want sexy anime girls which we all obviously do then it pretty much has to be a gacha. That's 99% of what Chinese and Korean companies make.Back in the day smaller Japanese studios might have given us something similar like Senran Kagura, but those days are long gone. Japan has fallen.
>>1906199>thousands of erogames released yearly>nah i think i'll do fucking homework every day of my life just to get safe risque shit censored by the CCPno anon, you are the cucked
>>1905751I get where you're coming from, but while the requirements are under construction, so is the tier list (hence tentative), and at the very least Idoly Pride fulfills both the letter and the spirit of the requirements more than some games already listed there.>>1905905Not saying they don't exist, but you'll be hard pressed to find one game that fits that isn't gacha. Especially one that's played on mobile.
>>1906302Well even if it fits, this thread usually doesn't discuss jp games because they have their own thread.
>>1905905If any other genre has lots of harem fanservice with constant updates, I'd prefer it over gacha.
>>1906340Why the fuck do you need "constant updates"That just lends itself to the soulless girl of the week format and zero development
>>1906376I am not against having more content with the same few girls over adding new ones, but I can only take what I get.
>>1906211you are even more likely to get cucked by shitty eroge without proper homework. be honest; you probably enjoy getting cucked by them.
>>1906211Gotta admit though filtering through dozens of slopworks is no small feat. I've probably done everything i wanted to play and right now just waiting for never evers.>>1906414>be honest; you probably enjoy getting cucked by them.That's one hell of a projecting when you can easily read the tags. You can read, right?
>>1906439it's impossible to place full trust in the tags. there's always some bullshit they push in that passes on a technicality, or something fucked up not denotable as an existing tag. and a franchise doesn't stop at the finished product. some update dlc or sequel will fuck it up for you. at least moege has a culture of one omake-esque sequel and that's it. many big eroge franchises and nip vidya in general get cucked by sequels, tons of which you're too young to know of that ended up that way. the dynamic is no different from live service games.everyone else itt who's not a brown dust 2 maining cumbrain should stick to VNs for something new. vndb has extensive tags which somewhat alleviates the issue of education.
>>1906313You do realize Idoly Pride does have an English release, right?
>>1906494>published by neowizShould i play it?
>>1905905>I've been thinking.don't
>>1906745
>VNsBut I don't wanna read, I want gameplay to stimulate my adhd zoomer brain with dopamine :vAlso I have fanfics and doujins for that and upscaling to VNs isn't worth it, ntm I already pass the VN phase of my life
>>1906581NTA, but It's not going to die so easily especially when it's a passion project of the guys over there. So if you're okay with the gameplay and the questionable translations, go for it.
>>1906777>I want gameplay to stimulate my adhd zoomer brain with dopaminSame. I finished Ghostrunner a couple of weeks ago and it had one of the best gameplay I've ever experienced. A perfect game for me would be something like that while you collect anime waifus on the side.
>>1904916>crunchyshit's cash grab>A tierNigger really??
>>1906879Kuntyroll's game could be S tier but I still wouldn't touch it even tho I loved Priconne (despite it being mixed toilet)
VNs are boring because youre listening to protagonist's monologue for a good 80% of the time instead of fun dialogue between other characters with almost nothing inbetween
>>1905905>>1906745https://notalwaysright.com/the-roadblock-between-the-cells/360461/>“Stop doing that! You are bad at it!”
>>1906313>>1906581While it's true that including JP games would be cheating because of the massive number of R18 games on DMM that would more than fulfill even the tightened requirements, Idoly Pride EN exists, and is run by people who do so purely because they love Mana, so it's unlikely to die soon. Moreso because idle games take forever to die even after new content stops being added.>>1906376Constant updates can also mean more content for the existing girls. This one I prefer more.>>1906780I know idle games don't have a good reputation for their gameplay, but Idoly Pride's gameplay is much better than most idle games.
>>1906780I care more about pantsu actually.
>>1906777my other suggestion was gonna be doujins too. it has the tagging problem (exh's netorare tag is worthless as reverse ntr is often tagged as such and ntr isn't tagged unless we see the mc squirm or whatever) but is much easier to spot once you've trained the neural net of your brain to spot signs of cuck just by quickly scanning the thumbnails. it also has the sequel problem, and for that I do a massive analysis on all doujin authors and keep a short list of the ones that do not make it into my blacklist, under a one drop rule. without it it's a russian roulette when the author releases a sequel out of nowhere.>>1906990if you're listening to the mc you're doing it wrong. but yes VNs and LN/WNs suffer from the same pacing issue where authors take the need to pad word count as a free pass to braindump straight into the narrator voice. it's why manga is still my primary medium of consumption
Is there any gacha with only robots and no humans?
>>1907160Any gacha that doesn't list the official age of its characters.
>>1907194I don't think MementoMori AFKRPG fits the bill.
>>1904916are any of these smaller, comfier games that I can play super casually?I wanted to pick up Starseed as a side game but then I saw >>1905088 which killed my interest
>>1907278unironically trickcal, super casual bonsaige
>>1907282kyoushuu...wasn't expecting to actually tear up from several story moments, only to get gutpunched when the game immediately changes tone to be funny again
>>1907282I was expecting this to be the answer but I'm not a chibifucker...
>>1907289there are some that are kind of lewd, but mostly on the skinsthe game is good because it triples down on the chibis being really immature, they are assholes, greedy, and inconsiderate, so you really end up seeing them as literal kids instead of chibi adults. so when shit hits the fan it hits you like a sack of bricks to the back of your head and it hurts to see them sad or suffering. the story is really funny because the devs insist on the game being b tier and staying there, instead of trying to compete with A or AA gachas (one of the plot points was that the chibis couldn't invade a country because it had a parking gate arm that they could push, when (we) arrived we pulled it upwards and the problem was solved)
>>1906313time to sneak in 1 Legeclo shill postMale MC: yesFMC: NO, locked male MCAll waifus only and for (You): yesEnglish? yesFree sex scenes? yesSFW version on JP appstore/Googleplay store, EN version on standard r-18 gacha H-sitesthe first sex scene you unlock like 10 minutes in:https://files.catbox.moe/y7zbxk.PNGThink it fades to black if you play off Appstore/playstore. It's very Priconne like, anyways end of shilling cause there's lots of DMM games that fit the haremge criteria like another anon said.
>>1907843damn, who's the little slut on bottom right? works on emulators?
panchira
>>1907843>nutakuaren't these guys like the 18+ version of Crunchyroll with how dogshit of a publisher they are?
>>1904916>Daiblos CoreSaw this one's up for jp preregistration now. How is it in other regions? I need a mecha musume fix and this looks nice
>>1907896That's Anubis and I think only JP appstore/playstore version works on emulators. I just play on PC on Johren>>1908195I ripped this off Reddit but all the H-game publishers are bad imo:Publisher tierlist:Literal f2p: nutaku (get 0,5$ per month at the cost of worst pack prices)Small spender: Johren (1,5$ monthly instead of 5$)Rest of spenders: Johren/ErolabsI just play for the sex scenes once a while
>>1904916>Last OriginWoke trash
>>1908195They're somehow worse than crunchyshit. Every single 18+ gacha game they touch gets EOSed due to their poorly done censorship and now they resort to making games with shitty "AI enhanced artwork" because they somehow can't do something as simple as not censoring a japanese 18+ gacha game to the ground and just releasing it as it is.
I have zero respect for anyone giving even $1 to nutaku or crunchyroll.
Considering Steam has become a liability I'm guessing some of these gacha publishers are having second thoughts. I wouldn't want MIRESI to be devoid of loli just because it made Mary butthurt.
>>1908388??
>>1909154Male robots
>>1909221The one on the right or the one in the left?
>>1909234>ignoring the two robots with recent skins
>>1909256post them, I haven't checked out the game in like 2 years
>>1909269>I haven't checked out the game in like 2 yearsWiki exist.https://lastorigin.wiki.gg/
>>1909279woah mama
>>1909287>male faceBan trannyshit
>>1909306(You)
>>1909279You mean this one? Doesn't look that different from the ones released in 2019, the game has had robots since day one?The skin looks like historical chinese armor
>>1909306>thinks melonface look masculineyeah, we have a fag in denial here
Miresi...
>>1909325hmmm...
>>1909334
>>1909317Looks straight out of Persona desu
for me it's the loli, I wonder if the devs will be based enough to commit to all body types
Miresi looks too good, I wonder how the devs are going to fuck it up
>>1909351Just look at how they're handling CZN. They have no idea what they're doing.
>>1909334>>1909337>>1909339>>1909342>>1909343>>1909345>>1909346This is all I need. Just let me take a good look at the girls of my harem (lolis included) and I'll be happy.
>>1909355Retard.
>>1909355I doubt it's the same team
>>1909366Doesn't matter, it's the same company. Amazon released multiple games with different teams and they all failed. Do you think that's a coincidence?
>d-doesn't matter!you got me good man, i'm sooo concerned right now, terrified even.
>no argumentI accept your concession.
Isn't smilegate only the publisher?
>>1909392Yes
>>1909317Still male
>>1909392Yes. They probably never expect to gain so much attention but now they have a card to play if the publisher is trying to fuck them up.
>>1909334That main(middle) girl has resting bitch face which reminds me of an egg. It's hilarious.
>>1909388That's a man
>>1909424its a 100% robot, the lore of the game doesn't allow males...
which gachas are chadbait, as in only appeal to high test high sex value men? ill start with some reccs>miresi>kaleidorider>gardenscapes
>>1909547>gachas>chadbait
>>1909522Male robot. And your biroids are fucking them.
>sperging about woketrash>calling a robot "male"pottery
>>1909861>defending forced diversity of robotsGo back
When miresi going closed Beta test? Early 2026?
I might've enjoyed the game.Maybe a teensy bit much...my verdict hasn't changed though.
>>1910134is the star saved?
>>1910138kek, no, not even closeit might do decently if they unrelease it, work on it for a year, and come back with an actual game instead of a mess of random mechanics
>>1910138I think that depends on what they're preparing for the next major update, most of the concerns are piss easy to fix, here's hoping.
>>1909380The devs are in a different company retard. Are you the type who also thinks Yostar makes Blue Archive or something.
>>1910184I'll remain optimistic for now.
