It's because by this point everyone already knows the gameplay sucks so they're really pushing the only thing they have left, the anime titty.

I thought that those games were actually supposed to be pretty good if you can get passed the embarrassing tittays. I don't know for sure because despite liking the genre even when it's mediocre, it was just too embarrassing.

No, all anime is still blood. But like different levels of blood. There's a gradient. I'm sure XSEED and Tamsoft never had to worry about getting their edgelord and MRA dollars, though. The "Non-PC" marketing is just a layer of icing.

It's like Animal Farm, some anime are better than others.

Like how Cowboy Bebop and Lupin the 3rd are better than an anime game so bad they have to cater to Internet edgelords.

This, too. This game was perfect for the 3DS because you can't play it on the big TV in mom's living room.

Believe it or not, there's actually something to this: Senran Kagura is part of a long-standing tradition among anime fans and artists, where small groups will get together and collaborate on a single project using all of their individual learned talents and skills, and instead of making something good they make shameless trash instead

edit: vvv the one thing you can say about the people that make senran kagura is that they don't pretend it's anything else except in that tongue in cheek way, and I say points to them for that but also the game sucks so really how many points do they deserve

See when they say "Non-PC" it has this air of "heh gently caress you people that would take away my drat anime titties! I HATE YOU SO MUCH ANITA SARRKIZZIANN! THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERRGGHSHSHH" and that is not great

I kinda wish they were just like "no lie this game is full of bigass anime titties and you know that's why you're buying it man so we really packed it super full of anime titties; you'll barely believe it until you see it"

I believe it is a subtle but meaningful distinction in this crazy world of big anime boob games

You need to be a badass first.
The creator of Senran Kagura is very passionate about anime titties, and while I'll probably never play one of the games, I admire his honesty in not shying away from his love and appreciation of anime boobs

I don't even know what is supposed to be bad about Alpha Protocol besides this stealth but I assumed that was because I upgraded it literally not at all and put all my points into martial arts and endurance. Hell yes rushing into every situation in a rage and karate punching everyone into unconsciousness.

Bosses aren't great, some of the levels have issues - you can screw yourself in Rome if you don't have martial arts, for instance. The game's weakest part is Afghanistan, so it gets off to a poor start. The stealth is a huge part of the game but doesn't have the depth of the MGS games. Even though it came out around MGS4, there are a lot of things that even MGS1 did better, and it's hard to avoid the comparison.

The shooting is also just plain not very fun. The "hold your crosshair over enemies for more accuracy" thing was a cool idea but it should've been way faster.

I can see the stealth and boss complaints, though I guess my endurance/martial arts/shotgun build seems to have negated most of these problems. I beat the Taipei boss by blowing away his armor and hammering on the karate button, for example. And I figure any stealth game will suffer in comparison to Metal Gear. I guess I'm glad I haven't played that before this. I guess I'll do Metal Gear next.

Shotgun -> knock dudes on rear end with critical hits -> stomp trumps that mechanic easily anyway

Yeah the shooting isn't great and the first time I played I went Pistols and Stealth which is a stupidly easy way to play. Max stealth tree gives you near infinite invisibility that triggers if somebody sees you and Max pistols lets you pause the game and line up 8 headshots. It's a little ridiculous.

I defeated every boss in the game on my first playthrough by chaining 8 headshots in a row on them. As a result it was way less of a slog, but I also only heard like 5 seconds of Turn Up The Radio by Autograph and that was a major downside.

I misread this at first and thought you were upset you heard the song at all and I was really mad for like ten seconds.
