#2

Is himeya splitting off their porn onto another site, or grabbing another domain name for more exposure, or what?

#3

They might be trying to get back into the English market. I’d be all in favor of that.

#4

They don’t seem to have Leaf’s new title, ??? available for pre-order yet :(… even though the release date for it was announced quite a while ago. Still, I’ll have to take advantage of the free shipping offer, even though my wallet will hate me for it.

#5

Actually, Himeyashop announced the splitting of their catalog into adult and non-adult products a few weeks ago.
My guess would be that they wanted to make surfing their main domain worksafe and for that they put all their adult-only products into a separated online-shop.

#6

That’s certainly a plausible explanation, but now i can’t combine my shipping for eroge and non-eroge content. :frowning:

#7

Yeah, I was going to whine about the inability to combine shipping before sheepishly remembering that the only games I’ve ever bought from them were non-H anyway. :slight_smile:

#8

rofl…well i had almost saved enough to buy PM series and was going to buy some h-stuff because $19 S&H was a bit too much…but now… :frowning:

And they don’t have Galaxy Angel pc games either :frowning:

#9

Actually, I bought "Moonlit Lovers " and “Eternal Lovers” from them - when they were new!
You can’t expect them to have those games in stock after so many years!

Perhaps, a “request” will help your cause, though…

#10

i know :stuck_out_tongue: Though they do have the ps2 versions…

maybe once i get a bit more money saved up.

Either way i still can’t combine PM series, Suzumiya Haruhi ps2 games (i would rather them for PC though :() & possibly GA games with my eroge purchases.

#11

What Unicorn said.

They want to have a worksafe domain for general otaku stuff, as well as utilize Paypal as a payment option (which has an anti-porn stance).

You have to admit that “erogeshop.com” has a nice ring to it. :wink:

#12

Indeed! :lol:

… and I am going to order from them as soon as BaseSon has the new Koihime Musou released! :wink:

:!: :!: It’s FUKUBUKURO time, and you have only a few hours for getting your share! :!: :!:

The idea is interesting, but I HATE to buy stuff that I don’t like (those “Lucky Bag” orders -and their contents- are preset)…

“Note: Regarding the Fukubukuro (lucky bag) set offer, you can purchase only 1 set. If you order more than 1 set, all your orders will be cancelled.”

…therefore I pass.

#14

Wow… thanks for the link dude. :slight_smile:

I got the Fukubukuro (Lucky Bag) Set Vol. 5 RPG Set for a friend, as it had Devil on G-String and the Koihime Musou rerelease - both first tier titles… the third was some no name crap I already forgot. :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT
Oy! They vanish as soon as someone buys it… One customer only? Or is it tracking my IP?

Also LOL on the Yami no Koe discount. Black Cyc really isn’t what it used to be. :stuck_out_tongue:

Just noticed the Fukubukuro (Lucky Bag) Set Vol.14 To Heart 2 Set is weak sauce. It should have the the original To Heart 2 as well. :expressionless:

#15

Apparently, you forgot that 8 Cheap Games order you done last year (and I’m still awaiting your opinion on this, do you remember :wink: ?).
Yes, Himeya has only ONE (1) copy available for each Fukubukuro set, exactly like in the past. The novelty is that you have to buy pre-defined “bags”, this time (and I do NOT like this idea, but I understand their viewpoint, if you strike again so fast :stuck_out_tongue: … ).

Baldo read MANY reviews and comments and thinks that the STORY (not the battle system) of the original release was VASTLY superior, so he ignored this particular “Lucky Bag”.
Is he sorely deluded?

#16

http://www.erogeshop.com/index.php/cPath/68

Most “lucky bags” are still unsold, maybe it’s for this reason that Himeya/Erogeshop added MORE games to the 9.99$ list (this, for example)…

#17

That’s because most of the lucky bags suck. I mean sure, a few have a good game in them, but then the other two are suckage. Basically you’re paying full price for one title you want and getting two extras for shipping foam. There’s also the problem, that it’s one per address. Some of us erogers are big rollers. :wink:

My biggest gripe however, is that many sets are just plain incomplete. One has Saiminjutsu and Ura Saiminjutsu 2, but not Saiminjutsu 2. Another calls itself To Heart 2, but lacks the original To Heart 2. I know they made these to just rid their unsellable stock, but there’s a reason why they’re unsellable. :lol:

I’m sad there was no Twincest Set… although I did notice some sets have twincest in them (the loli and violation).

#18

Oh wow… just got the package today. All three titles were first print versions.

G-String had the telephone card, calendar cards, 18 page color artbook, and the 514 page AB2 production artbook.

Koihime Musou included a sales poster and soundtrack.

That forgetable title was Maou to Odore 2… and included the character artbook and special fandisk.

I’m gonna reorder G-String again for my friend. I wanna keep these. I also now remember why I tolerate Himeya’s high prices. :stuck_out_tongue:

#19

Heh, to say the truth, it was a question about the Shin Koihime Musou game, I have NO interest in the additional goodies infesting so many erogames.
It’s good to see that you received such a horde of free stuff, THIS TIME, but…

See my point? The supposed extras are just a trick to get you to waste MORE money in useless stuff, and it becomes worse when the extras are an excised part of the game you theorically paid for (read my comment 9# in the linked review for an example) :evil: :

Maybe I’m a bit hard on the hobby, but Baldo is a gamer, NOT a game collector 8).

#20

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/game/ added a few new “bargain bin” erogames:

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/1145/0/1

Not exactly the best stuff on the market, but the shop is reliable and also gives discounts (the point system), it has Baldo’s Seal Of Approval :smiley: .
