I agree with you, I’m genuinely burnt out by the sheer amount of fan service in not just the romance genre but most shows. Whenever I discuss this with other people they often dismiss this feeling by saying “well it’s Japan”. Even though there are many Japanese women who dislike anime for its fan service as well. The topic is a lot more nuanced than what ppl give it credit for.

Gtfo is unga bunga cave man simulator. Crawl around with a spear for 3 hours and then die and get screamed at for not being stealthy enough. And get litreally noting for 3 hours wasted. I may exxaregatre mission time a little bit, but it does feel way too long when you have to crouch crawl everywhere with a speed of a snail. If in a game you feel like the best thing you should do is just stand still and do nothing, because if you fail your frens get angry at you for wasting hours of thier time, it's a bad game

Nah mate, you should look up the guides by D4rkeva or Professor Scalar on the game. They do NOT encourage stealth as much as I did in the video, because they're not scrubs like me. The game is more fun if you get a little loosey goosey, and they can show you how.

I feel like you made a few mistakes : A) The gender separation of anime/manga production is a very important factor. Almost every anime/manga can be put in one of these two streams as they are printed in magazines with a particular gender focus. This does not mean that anime/manga lack crossover appeal, and usually the better titles transcend their demographic label. For simplicity we can refer to these as shonen(boys) and shoujo(girls) B) masculine oriented romance /romantic comedy is not recent. There are examples of such titles going back to the 1980s (say, kimagure orange road). Shoujo and shonen romance have essentially evolved separately and in dialogue with each other. Older styles include visual novel adaptations (which are thankfully no longer in fashion), magical girlfriend or harem. C) Kaguya love is war is very definitely a shonen show. Besides obvious signs (visual style, boob jokes) more subtly the male lead tends to have more agency and is the character that's generally easier to identify with and is more traditionally "heroic". That said, the author is very skilled at writing both sides, so it makes sense that the series appeals to both genders. D) you can tell whether a romance is shonen or Shoujo based on a few factors. The most significant is the characterization of the male and female leads. In Shoujo the female lead tends to be submissive and the male lead dominant, and often a complete ass (the ur example is boys over flowers). Personally I've found the regressive gender roles in most Shoujo romance to be offputting. Shonen romance, ironic when we usually think about the gender wars, actually tend to have quite balanced gender roles. The traditional gender roles of shonen usually show up as damsel in distress. E) regarding fan service, I think if you think Japanese culture is ever going to change on this I think you'll be waiting a very very long time. Personally, I find it interesting that westerners object to showing teenagers having boobs or sexual desires, but have no problems with showing teens involved in extremely graphic violence.

It's probably more correct for me to say that suffering is the point, just as it is for the adversity games in the previous section. In fact, I know it is, with those DLC stories being what they are; it's not a game that is trying to illicit fun as a primary goal. Also, on the note of my gameplay sucking ass: yes!

with one of the games mentioned in the Adversity Games section, Project Zomboid, I had one of those moments recently of "how did I survive that", I was just looting a house as usual, clear the first floor, go up to the second and open the bathroom thinking it was only 3 zombies at most only to be greeted by at least 20, in my panic I run into the bathroom, get torn up but manage to escape, uninfected. those moments are what makes it fun, those moments of either well laid plans work out or you survive by dumb luck. as for my opinion on Souls games, it's their weighty weapons and movement that turns me off from them, that and I prefer my hard enemies style games to be with firearms instead of melee weapons, I just love the feeling of landing that last second headshot over an enemy that could do the same to you, STALKER is a great example of what I like for difficulty

I totally agree with you, that Kojima tried to do anti-war propaganda with metal gear, but never succeeded for the exact same reason, why MW2 is to me the peak of anti-war in gaming. I don't really understand how you cannot focus more on the no russian mission or the ending of that game. The great upside game have, in contrast to filmmaking, that you actually perform those actions yourself. If you walk through No Russian and feel absolutely nothing, you're a psychopath. The game want's you to realise yourself that what you are doing is deeply wrong, without telling you. It's a learning process while playing, only through emotions. Just by your own actions. That's also why you've the option to not fire a single bullet on civilians, even tho you probably feel pressured to shoot the second you get the order to. It want's you to feel bad. Movies can never achieve that in the same way, that's the one great upside of video games and that's also why you can, in my humble opinion create anti-war propaganda in games.

the first time i booted this war of mine i was determined to play throught it, at the time, all i knew about the game was its mechanical aspects and expected the war to be simply a plot device so the mechanics of the game would actually make sense and have some stakes to them, i could not be more wrong, as the extremelly mechanics driven player i am i raided the elderly couple without much thought to it, until i got to talk with them, locked in their room, scared for their lives, begging me not for scraps or food, but simply to be left unharmed, i left, went home to find out i was raided, and in that was the first moment a game made me think "so this is what art is about". I am not a very socially adjusted person and for a myriad of reasons i struggle to connect both to myself and to others, but in that moment, in those 3ish hours i managed to play the game, i got it, this war of mine made more human, not through empathy but through the understanding that no matter what the powerfull say, when giants brawl, all the ants fall. My country is one of the many victims of Democracy™ and my parents are product of an american dictatorship, and yet, i had no actual idea of how brutal living in a warzone is, we have our struggles and its also brutal at times, most of the times, but we dont need to worry about gun fights or raids, throught that game i could connect to people who live thousand of miles away and in disheartening realities, it was a pivotal moment in my life, and politics, i started to value community a lot more to say the least. i dont care what people say, games are art, and just like every other art form it doesnt need to be much, not fun, not happy, not extremelly fast paced with 84 different visual effects at the same time, and games are better off being art, i would be a lot more scared if i lived in a world without TWoM, a game i got no progress at all because i could not keep myself from caring for faces i never saw yet felt so familiar. I love 11bit studios and their approach to morality driven gameplay, pretty much once a year i try to play frostpunk just to get my ass beaten in absolute no time, often, the benefits of efficiency get out weighted by the thoughts that even through apocalypse i can make my best to ensure a kid that doesnt even exist can play and learn and smile. Life is tough, but people are tougher, i need to be tougher, not only for me, but for all those i can potencially help, and i like to think everyone shares the same feeling to a certain degree any how, great video, thanks for posting it, i gotta go, its past my bedtime

That's how you end up with "pixel art game that's a metaphor for depression #28473". It's like struggling writers writing books about struggling writers.
