    I showed up dressed as Rance to a local anime con.
    I got arrested within five minutes and they didn't let me out for hours. Yeah, they took my DNA and it turns out I wasn't the rapist so they let me go. At least I didn't miss the Konosuba panel I wanted to go to.
    Yeah, someone else cosplaying as Rance raped a couple girls at that con.

      Yeah, the English releases are updated for modern OSes.
      If you try to go back to say, Big Bang Age/Daibanchou you will start to run into frickery errors because they're so dated as programs without compatibility mode shit. None of the Rance games should be an issue though.

    1. By not being american or israeli alligned.
    2. By doing autistic shit nobody would have let them in the AAA industry.
    3. By having some of the most experieced game devs work on it that also had a wealth of story and lore already planned from previous titles and a similar project "kichikuo rance" being a last hail mary effort to save their dying company due to ironically making sub-par video games that turned out to be one of the best video games ever made.

    The people that work on Alicesoft are autistic loners that make whatever they want not based on demand and that's exactly why they actually create good video games.

      It's sad that Daiteikoku has such a bad rep that will prevent it from ever being translated
      It's not THAT bad it's just not as good as it could've been
      It also probably didn't help that it had like 3 failed fan TL attempts that all fizzled

        it always makes me sad Kichikuou Rance will never get the reliction it deserve. the game was good. so good in fact, it brought back the company from the brink off death. they just threw all ideas they had planned for the series on the wall without giving a frick. its fun to see how all the characters end up in the real timeline.

        but hey, atleast we got more rance out of it.

          Its funny to see all the references to it in the canon time line games too. Sometimes I feel like there are lots of scenes you cant appreciate the same way if you dont know Kichikuou

      Hopefully Falcom gets their shit together and makes the final games in both Ys and Trails good. Rance had some mediocre games throughout the series but they managed to end it with X being arguably the best one in the series.
      Especially Trails, since part of the appeal of that and Rance is the continuing narrative and returning characters across the games. Rance X was able to conclude most of that nicely. Trails not doing the same would make the whole story told across all the games feel like a waste of time if you know that all of that development just leads to a pile of shit

          Ero == porn, so frick off already.

          But the point is for GAMEPLAY to be for the sake of fapping and cumming, something like Karryn's Prison comes to mind.
          To turn your analogy around, you might as well just play Total War and break it up with a porn video now and then.

          Karryn's prison is moronic statecheck trash.
          If TW title will have level of writing and characters development of Sengoku Rance - why fricking not.
          Especialy since we already have H mods for crusaders kings and mount&blade.

            But, through gameplay, you're able to influence exactly what sort of pornographic shit happens onscreen, the interactivity mingles with the sexual content.

            You could put Sengoku Rance on Steam with all the H scenes removed, like Eiyuu Senki, and it would still be worth playing. The H scenes are just icing on top of a quality game. But as an H game, I don't feel it holds up.

              I can't get your point. If game actually GOOD and still worth to play w/o H part it shouldn't be called as H game?
              And if game worthless trash w/o H part it should be called as H game?
              What type of ill mentality you have? It's just good game and bad game, anon.

          Those porn videos wouldnt have context of the game in them which is important part of the fap

            Damn that context really helped
            I mean I get where you're coming from, I used to think the same way, but I enjoy Rance as a game on its own. If I just want to fap, there's no way in hell I'm going to fire up Sengoku Rance and play through the whole campaign - doesn't that make it something of a failure in the porn aspect?
            Porn games are one of those areas where I feel "it's a good game but not a good ___ game" can actually apply.

              Not all H-scenes are created equal, some are just filler for a particular niche/body type especially in SR
              I think there's a relevant difference between playing for an H-scene and looking at a CG gallery at least

              I dont fap to Rance games either but for those that do thats the key role. Also you can rewatch the scenes which would be kind of like opening up some doujins from some H site, some people might like that

          The sex is the carrot on a stick, if you don't want to fap you just revisit the H-scene later

      For me I enjoy the build up and sense of achievement when I get to the sex.
      It's like the feeling when you see a cool character early in an RPG and then you anticipate them eventually joining the party except it's a hot girl you get an H-scene with instead

      01 - Chronological start.
      VI - Reboot Start
      SR (VII) - Largely standalone game where most people started because the other games weren't translated at the time

      All 3 are fine as entry points.
      VII is a strategy/conquest game, VI is a dungeon crawling RPG, 01 is an old school-like point click type game
