After all, the purpose of love simulations is, as I understand, sexual conquest. I want that, but I want it in a little more... "natural setting"?
Hello and welcome to the PP BBS ^_^.
"Just sexual conquest"? ^^;. That is not it, althrough it's a large part of these games. That doesn't necressiary mean that the main point of a bishoujo game is just about having a lot of sex. A bishoujo game can have as good a story as anything else (a good movie, book, game, etc..). In a bishoujo game you're playing you move along with the story, interact with the characters, solves riddles and tries to find the best paths in the game. The goal of the story varies, depending on what kind of game you're playing, but usually your ultimate goal is to find the True Love of your life, so to say. This doesn't necressiary mean that only ONE of the girls are that one; there is often multiple endings in bishoujo games, meaning that the game can end in several ways, and you amy end up with different people every time. You have to watch your choices, through, since your choices sometimes can lead you to your doom... or other bad things.
Some people have labeled bishoujo gmaes as "no better thna porn", but I strongly disagree about this, for several reasons. for exmaple, bishoujog maes have far, far better stories than any porn I've ever seen. The stories int he bishoujog mae sI've palyed so far have made me sad, made me laugh, made me feel happy, and so on, and no porn I've ever seen have managed to do that to me. also, the sex scenes will often start out of purely logical reasons, not just because that two people are horny, like in porn. and the sex scenes won''t go like "first oral, then vaginal, then anal-sex, then "shoot in the face!". Well, okay, not in MOST bishoujo games, anyway ^_^ (but, it depends on exactly what genre that game belongs to - as Olf of Kagami could tell you there are various genres of games, and there is a genre of games that is made just for the sex, or more because of it than anything else). But, in most bishoujo gmaes you'll encounter, the "sexual conquests" won't be a major goal of the game. Rather it'll be to, as I said, find your True Love or fulfil your mission/quest in the game (like, in Critical Point, you have to find the source of all the troubles on the Free Alliance Moon Base).
Like the others, if that's what you like (sci-fi and such), I do suggest Critical Point, the very first sci-fi bishoujo game in english! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
