    @excel_excel: Looking for a good sidescroll shooter? I'm sure you've heard of Metal Slug.. there's 8 games of it in total, I believe the first 2 were 2 player co-op, everything beyond MS1 and MS2 have 4 player co-op.

    A satirical shooter, many wacky cartoon-moments, over-the-top moments and the game is basically a parody of every war ever fought.

    Plus in part 3 there are zombies, and you can get infected and play as a zombie... which is epicly fun.

    @excel_excel: Yeah, I enjoyed the first game, but without the humor it would have been hard slugging through it. It had its heart in the right spot, but it just wasn't polished enough.

    @the7k: You'd think that, wouldn't you. I'd wager you that people who have not set foot in an arcade, have a high chance of not knowing Metal Slug, Dynamite cops or Puzzle Bobble.

    I'm telling you, the classic coin-ops of yore are becoming more and more a hardcore-cult thing, than a vacation-summertime thing.

    Incidently, Dynamite cops is not that well known, but I can never bring myself to not-name it.. It was so cool and still has one of the best implementations of QTE's. #difficulty

    It really pains me to see games that have a concept so much better than their eventual execution.

    I really wanted to like Eat Lead, D3 had me at "Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett." The marketing was clever, and the self-aware storyline and overall level of satire was really something to love. But the game wasn't any good. I want this franchise to work, but I don't love the concept enough to plow through the middling, buggy gameplay. #difficulty

    Well, they already have quite a few of those games on the 360. The psp and the 360 are the main suppliers for this sort of games. That's why the 360 fanbase in Japan is quite otakuish. Too bad for those otaku, they were one letter away from being Kool ^^

    What kind of gameplay, in all seriousness, do these kind of games offer? I mean... what do you do?

    @Hey_Blinkon:


    I believe in most of these games, there's some sort of conversation going on between you and those girls and from time to time you are prompted to choose an answer or make a certain action. («Do you want to ask her if she has a boyfriend», «Do you want to ask her if she wants to remove her panties». «Do you want to throw Ice cream on her face». «Do you want to stop playing this game and get a real girlfriend instead ?») The goal is either to get them to fall in some sort of platonic love with the main character (for console games) or to make love to them in a very graphic way (in the pc version of those games). From time to time, there are some mini games thrown in randomly that vary from a street fighter 2 clone to a space invader remake. Here it seems the minigames would involve making fancy drinks or I guess some timing related minigame during karaoke?


    I have never played one personally but that's what I believe they offer gameplaywise. It seems their plot is not as bad as I would have assumed since a few of my favourite anime (Kimi ga nozomu eien, shintetsutan tsukihime, fate stay night, Air and Kanon are all based on dating sims)

    @Boulayman: To the uninformed, I find it easiest to point out Harvest Moon. Take away the farming, and focus more attention on the storyline and character interaction and that's what you're looking at.


    I don't think this game's premise is meant to be as seedy as everyone here is making it.

    Good point, I just meant it as a sort of introduction to that kind of gameplay but then one has to differentiate btw dating sims, eroge, galgames and visual novels but as I don't know myself the differences between the subgenres I didn't want to get into that. Thanks both of you for the clarification.
