Japan Does It Again

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

http://gamershell.com/download_11750.shtml

 

A Japanese game developer called Game Programming Study Club has created what is probably the weirdest Japanese game to date. We have seen it all before, animated porn, animated violence, but in Line-Kill Spirits players must fight a one on one battle and take upskirt pictures while battling to score extra points. I think our source, Inverted Castle sums it up beautifully: "The Japanese are done. They can now return to planet Japania, leaving all the people of Earth horribly confused and scarred for life.". A movie with 1:45 minutes of in-game footage is up for grabs at our download archive for anyone interested in this game (pervs).

 

Never cease to suprise do they. I found it hillarious (more than someone would actually make the game the content to be honest) but I'm sure some of you will be very disturbed by it.

Ermm...great. I really don't know what to write.

A Japanese game developer called Game Programming Study Club...

Students?

...take upskirt pictures while battling to score extra points.

It's an interactive version of the Leonardo DiCaprio car adverts. It's surprising it's taken this long, to be honest. At least she wasn't wearing a high-school uniform.

[Musopticon?]

Doesn't DoA already sort of fill this...not very needed role?

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

When I was reading about it I had the vision of a Japanese guy sitting at his desk tapping a pencil. Then suddenly leaping up shouting the japanese for eurika before running off exitedly to the bosses office.

I really hope that there will not be another world war with Japan involved. Imagine what their soldiers would do to you (and your family) if they were your enemy.

Um...

 

 

Ah yeah...

 

 

Japanesse games freak me out, man.

At least...

 

It's innovative...

 

Right..?

[Llyranor]

I fail to see what's disturbing about this game :ph34r:

[Yst]

Japanese and Westerners both like to mix their porn and their casual entertainment. Westerners (though chiefly Americans) only differentiate themselves by their preference for the unconvincing pretense that they aren't, even when they really, really are, and obviously at that.

 

Westerners fetishise all manner of strange erotic behaviour and quirky sexuality. They just simultaneously demand plausible deniability in the matter, and try to keep the more obvious stuff behind closed doors.

 

Fetish niches, some profoundly odd, exist everywhere, in every country and every language. The Japanese are willing to admit that and, furthermore, to market products around them. Americans in particular I find like to pretend this isn't the case in the land of the free (though the British have rightly pointed as well to their own preference for sexual obliviousness), and if they do have a weird quirk, keep it quiet.

 

Japanese sexuality is what American sexuality would be if it was honest with itself. What any country's sexuality would be if it were honest with itself. Some people don't want this kind of honesty and openness. And I suppose one is well within one's rights to pursue a sexually closed society, if its members are in concensus. But Japan isn't one. And the difference between it and the English speaking world is decreasing every day. There are certainly enough games that sell themselves on boobs in the western market at present. And there's a generation who's grown up quite willing to admit openly that it enjoys looking at boobies and that this is a selling point. I think the silly pretense will die in time.

Hott!

[kirottu]

The graphics were so obviously computer made probably on purpose that nothing sexual can be found. It

I really think that employing the term "boobies" detracts noticeably from any thesis.

[Weiser_Cain]

I'v played weirder.

[Musopticon?]

And I've watched weirder, but that's not the point. The point was in Yst's post.

 

"Japanese sexuality is what American sexuality would be if it was honest with itself. "

 

Not that I find that exactly a good thing.

[Lord Tingeling]

Jesus christ, guys. This is extremely tame considering some of the stuff that comes out of oh so glorious Nippon as it is. One casual stroll through The Internet proves that this is certainly not even a blip on the crazy-things-from-Japan-o-meter.

 

That hack over at inverted castle needs to go play Water Closet or something.

"Water Closet"

 

That game was The Horror.

 

I mean, there's "dating" and then there's violently raping people in public restrooms.

Edited December 5, 2005 by Musopticon?

[Lord Tingeling]

Not like it's part of some sort of extreme-fringe genre either when it comes to Japan.

 

EDIT: I thought the "charm" (HURRR) of Water Closet was the sort of jovial toilet humor that ensues when you have a mad "WC Professor" going around drinking people's urine and such. Trust me, when it comes to sick and evil rape games that make you die inside, there's much, much worse stuff than Water Closet.

 

FAKE EDIT: The fact that I know this makes me cry inside.

I just have to ask, how do you know?!!

 

Because like, sure I read Something Awful, laugh with everybody else at the Hentai Game reviews, but never have I gone out and accquired one.

[Ellester]

The only thing that freaks me out about

[Kaftan Barlast]

Well, in Japan its ok to be a perv and these are the consequences of that policy. You may argue that we in the west also have a lot of dodgy stuff in that area but the Japanese do it on such a massively larger scale.

 

 

And I cant help but imagine how awkward it would be like to work with making these games.

 

Yeeeah, Jimbo. I think you need to get the animation

when you pull your *** out of her *** and *** in her ***

a bit tighter. And could you ask Sven if hes worked out

how to program the 'hot karl' attack feature yet? Oh, and

I think well need to rework the collision detection on the

butt slamming again.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bad company, that's all.

 

And no. I don't get off at this stuff.

[Child of Flame]

Sure you don't.

[Musopticon?]

Us Finns are open about our sexuality and in tune with our inner self.
