Fill out your games (it'll auto-cover "played" and "unplayed", but you have to blacklist and list as "beaten" manually the first time out). The chart will fill out in the top right corner. It's handy.

There's no website that perfectly tracks my games, but Steam Completionist does it with minimal fuss. I actually keep a txt file with current and ongoing game progress, like how far into a game I am, how many hours a game is on HowLongToBeat, etc. It's a system that works for me.

I'm more interested in the fact that sexual content is being approved from a business standpoint, the fact people buy porn or barely-porn-at-all is not something that bothers me. Witch Hunter 2 is a game I got on Steam which shows full frontal female nudity if I remember, and while I'm glad that nudity is not a deal breaker on Steam the flood of lovely erotic games and hentai visual novels would suck. Mostly it would suck due to the downpour of low-quality games that already seems to be around. If you want a game with some real bare breasts and cock, Hatoful Boyfriend is a good place to put your money. I'm only five minutes into the game and I've got more than enough pidgeon content return on my investment.

I wouldn't even call Sakura Spirit "barely porn", it's basically just a parade of scantily clad ladies and whatnot. The Witcher games have more sexual content. The worst part about Sakura Spirit is how little substance it has and how it's devoid of anything entertaining whatsoever.

Helith posted:As a woman who loves playing games the constant misogyny, objectification and sexualisation of women in games is just depressing. Sad and depressing that in this day and age people don't realise how exclusionary those attitudes are. I think you can have a proper dialog, it's just that it's usually framed in such a way as to be very antagonistic. It's a topic that's politicized. Fer and agin'. ESPECIALLY the entertainment news bloggers. You say debate but no one's trying to learn anything about the other side - or the other side may not understand what riles them up about it. It's two groups on either side of a wall yelling at the wall in between them. I mean, what is there to debate about it? We can see the reality of the situation - we can even identify the extremes and the exaggerations of that reality. What would you want to talk about sensibly? How you feel about it? How you feel it affects people growing into it, or working within it, or surrounded by it? Again, that's not a debate, it's a very personal and subjective criticism. What's more challenging, men and women think very differently, and experience some aspects of society at literally near-alien relative fashions. It's a great topic to share and be educated on at a personal level, but not to debate a hostile group (in context, both sides are antipathetic). Just think on how charged things like affirmative action was/is, or even genderless socioeconomic classism. People are VERY quick to take the outliers that beg their question in order to defuse arguments against them, because they're just not educated/trained well enough to identify what they're doing. And people trying to argue aren't equipped to teach those people, either. It's too emotionally charged. Lasering issues of feminism and gender equity/equality down into the super micro hobby-world of 'Games' also often feels like it's missing the forest for the trees - or even the singular tree. What's even worse is that Video Games as a medium are nowhere near a point of general sophistication to say '"games are sexist (because of)"' or '"game companies in particular are more sexist than other entertainment companies"' and expect some sort of resolution at the point of focus. If you want to talk about it, I think it's well worth talking about, but you can't frame it with winners and losers, not at this time. It really does need to be zero sum, with a lot of moderation. Directed and constant moderation - because the tumbler trigger-sjws and whatever they are called on the other side both exist to create noise, rather than any useful signal, and then a lot of other people love to just contribute to the noise as well, because it also doesn't require any particular training but gets immediate feedback and attention.

There's no porn in any game on Steam nor will there ever be. Sakura Spirit never had any porn to begin with. There were rumors that the publisher is planning something like that for Grisaia, but it seems like that's not true either

I wonder how they draw the line when it comes to "acceptable nudity" on Steam. You can have full frontal nudity of women in the Witcher and of men in GTA and they get away fine, but they'd have a much harder time showing bare crotches in a lesser-known title. I suppose it comes down to money, as usual. In any case, from what I've gathered even the usual VN enthusiasts who don't bat an eyelid at nudity and sex scenes consider Sakura Spirit trash. Don't give them money even at 50% off. E: I can tell this thread is going to a great direction now. Kanfy fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Sep 16, 2014 |

Yeah, the current shitstorm around this issue has spiralled very quickly out of control and no one involved in that is doing themselves any favours. Perhaps 'debate' was the wrong word and maybe you're right that the time has passed for that to be useful. Everyone knows the issues and has their opinions and has drawn their line in the sand over it. I think it's really a symptom of a much wider societal issue and one that is deeply entrenched in society. Games, like any art, are a reflection of society and the values, attitudes and mores within it. Everyone internalises their societies attitudes and yeah, it can feel like an attack if someone else questions those values. I suppose wider societal changes will need to become the norm before game companies start reflecting that too and they feel it's viable to appeal to a broader demographic. raspy trashfucker posted:Why does it bother you for women to be sexual? They're human beings and sex is part of that. Very true, sex is part of being a human, for both men and women. What bothers me is depictions of women where being sexual is their only character trait.

It's pretty telling that none of the people dissing Sakura Spirit have actually played it. Methinks you should pull your heads out of your culturally myopic asses and mayhaps learn to appreciate other cultures? If you would only spend ten minutes of your carefully scheduled "jerk off to Game Of Thrones fanfics" time on actually broadening your horizons, you would learn that traditional Japanese artforms actually offer a fresh and nuanced perspective on sexuality that your tragically repressed American brains may hopefully one day learn to understand...

Joke's on you, Sakura Spirit is made by filthy gaijin hands and thus merely a pale imitation of the real art created by true 日本人 artists. Your praise of it only shows your own ignorance, not that of others.

Everyone knows the issues and has their opinions and has drawn their line in the sand over it. Yeah, what really bugs me about the entire conversation is that there are sexist things happening in the real world of game development as exposed a couple years ago. Things that, as far as I'm aware, haven't really shifted all that much since then. So what we are generally having a "debate" over, then, is manchildren who don't respect women as equal to men in real life making games that don't respect women as equal to men. Not that we shouldn't be pointing out how dumb it is and push for more equal representation in games. You know, an accurate representation of reality where women do heroic poo poo all the time. e: Also everyone buy Postal 2 because you can throw diseased cow heads around and make people puke blood until they die

The expac additions felt pretty seamless, to the extent that I was surprised when I found some things weren't in the base game. The new things it introduces are spread out pretty well so you don't get overwhelmed.

Not to mention it changes and fixes enough stuff from the base game that recommending an initial run through of vanilla is only useful from a "see what's new" standpoint.
