http://www.pulltop.com/gp02/index.htmCould you give me your thoughts on these?
1) Cleavage. Unlike some, I like big breasts. My absolute first choice, by far. Yum, yum, yummy! Despite my being the first to list this this game so favorably, I'm sure you're aware of:
1) The success of an anime known as "Bible Black".
2) The intense speculation now that offerings are being placed for an anime known as "Discipline."
3) The repeatedly expressed desire for the licensing of the games for "Bible Black" and "Discipline."
Another reminder. As an example, the American anime community has often been condescending of some anime which have been huge hits, "Dragonball" for instance. Just because the hardcore fan-base thinks one thing, doesn't mean that the broader-based marketplace necessarily agrees.
Heh. And if you ever need an argument against the notion that bishojo gaming is all about loli, you have a licensed example to the contrary.
Far and away the title with the most income generating potential, provided you put the right advertisements on the right websites. this is the kind of title which has a significant chance to bring in new purchasers into the bishojo gaming market.
My purchase prospects: When can I pre-order? I will happily trample old ladies to get to the front of the line, and yes, I'll pay for FedEx next day delivery. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
2) Hello Spring. Looks nice. The gals look fresh, and natural.
My purchase prospects: Very, very good.
3) Tie. Yu no Hana and Summer Girl both look nice, and rank close behind Hello Spring, from the graphic standpoint.
My purchase prospects: Very good.
5) A Distant 5th, "Death Meta." It just doesn't attract me the way that the first 4 I've listed.
My purchase prospects: Iffy.
Last, least, and, if you will, the anti-Cleavage on this list, "Yume Miru Kurusi (Dream Drug)." For the most part, the female characters in the first 5 examples actually look old enough to have sex (please note that I did qualify that statement). This game looks like every female character but one has been taken from grade school.
My purchase prospects: Slim and none, and Slim just left town. Never, nada, zilch, fugedhaboutit. Ick factor is off the chart.
All of the above is based on an examination of the graphics, as I've no idea as to how good the stories might be.
