"Girly" Video Games

[миша]

Honestly, girls games are just games that are targeted to the femenine public because it has certain mechanics, like personalization, attractive colors, cute things and tend to be more femenine, I know that not every girl likes those because "yeah im not like other grills, i play boy games and wow im so quirky and unique #notlikeothergirls", but those things like it or not attract women and they like it, for example: Barbie games, light and easy-going games about dressing up like you want to be and having a lot of pretty clothing to chose, the Sims would be called a girls game but why? Because the details it has in it's personalization, making your sim, creating a house, creating a history, etc, then you have Otome games, apart from having a history where you control your fate, you have a cast of (mostly) pretty male characters with different personalities that give you attention and affection, this doesn't mean you have to be an isolated moe girl to play this games, characters that make you feel relatable and loved, it just feels great, can't explain it.
The same with action games with female leads, like Tomb Raider, Bayonetta, Mirrors Edge, Metroid, etc, some women like those games, and some none because protagonist is a pretty woman and that is bad patriarchy; point is, being a woman with importance, independence and the ability to make choices, where in the end you save, or fuck up, the day.

No one says a guy can't plays this games, buy they tend to be more enjoyed by women, and that is not sexism or a bad thing at all, imo.

What's wrong with those?

I'm pretty sure Hadaka Shitsuji has piss rape in it.

Hadashit wasn't my thing cause it's just about a guy going on a sadistic power trip after getting to housesit a mansion and he ends up torturing his butlers. (Torture being stuff like forcing a guy to eat dog food and shoving vegetables up his ass, and that's just in the one route I bothered playing) I guess there's people into that sort of stuff but I didn't like it.

Meanwhile No thank you wasn't my thing cause both the plot and the porn were unsatisfying. I didn't like any of the endings cause what little plot there was didn't have much of a resolution and in the porn parts the guys bottoming never were into it aside from one guy at the very end of his route so for the most part the bottom guys just laid there like dead fish just wanting it to end. The one positive I can think of is that Haru is a cool MC. It's an interesting change to for once have a bisexual MC who actively pursues men instead of one day just getting it up the ass and going "Uh welp I guess I'm not straight anymore???"

I pirated the first one years ago before it got officially released but I did buy the latter and I have mixed feelings about that. I don't think I got my money's worth but at the same time BL games are a niche within a niche and refusing to support BL game localisations would mean I'm kinda sabotaging a hobby I enjoy. I am studying japanese so that one day I don't have to wait for localisations but it's a long process and my self-discipline is pretty abysmal.

As a sidenote the makers of NTY are currently working on a new game with a historical setting and I'm into that kind of thing, so if that ever gets released in English I may still give that a shot one day after confirming the writing has improved.

Cool, I like videogames too (just making fun of the one who brag about it like is something special), I was addressing the girly games in general.

Every single Hamtaro game for GBC/GBA. I played and replayed those games for years. Youtuber Pikasprey has a few let's plays if you're interested lol

I love Pikasprey's insane videos. I don't think I'm familiar with him ever playing Hamtaro though, haha.

When I was a kid, if I had days where I was just really REALLY bored, I'd look at my sister's collection and play whatever the hell she had. One of them was The Little Mermaid for the NES, which even though it was super easy it was also surprisingly fun.

The others were two Barbie games. The first one was just Barbie on the NES, which was ok, but I remember her feeling "stiff" to control. I think I got up to the underwater mermaid level and then called it quits. The second one was "Super Model" for the Sega Genesis, which was the perfect time killer until something better came along to catch my interest. I think I "completed" the game as well.

Latest "girly" game I played was "June's Journey - Hidden Object", which is a phone game. Seemed interesting at first, but it suffers from the same thing most phone games suffer from... not a lot of energy given to play the puzzles (except when you first start the game, which shoves double the energy at you which is enough yo get through most of Chapter 1 if you are going for a completion run).

I loved Barbie Pet Rescue and some kind of scuba Barbie game lol

girlie games are the shit when done well-ish, and for the time, several of these were dope.

Being able to be a girl in Pokémon Crystal rocked my world. Girls love video games <3
Except Zoey Quinn, she's a lying whore lol

Edit: Is this troll shielding? Ignore me.

I'm having some trouble running Flash games now in both Firefox and Chrome, does anyone know a good workaround?

Both have dropped support. Internet Explorer will run them, but you might be better to use a browser that's being updated like SeaMonkey or Pale Moon.

I just remembered a girly game from the 90s called, McKenzie & Co. It was a live action dating sim where all the teachers were played by one actor (sometimes in drag). You could choose the clothes, make-up and decisions the two selectable characters make.

I remember playing the demo and some of the mini-games were kinda fun. The goal was the mainly get a date for the prom with one of the selectable guys.

If you play the guy, the Asian chick has a blood sugar problem on one of the days and needs some candy. You talk to the hippie girl to get it and she'll take the form of a cow. You have to do this several times.
