babiker Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 So game theory finally released its episode on dating sims (2 years late), and I was expecting something along the lines of "How unrealistic dating sims are", but I'm pleasantly surprised by this theory that claims dating sims actually help in a relationship. While I know there's some lines to be drawn between dating sims and VNs, he uses quite a few weeby dating sims as examples like huniepop, even some that are considered VNs like uh... Hatoful Boyfriend. I also never knew Love Hina was a VN/dating sim, so that's pretty interesting So at this point I assume we VN elites are chick magnets now? Has my life been a lie?! Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Meh, I expected an actual GAME theory, not a bunch of theories on human relationships. All he did in the video was point out this very basic human concept and how it's applied in dating sims, which isn't really all that fascinating to me at least. Like, yeah, no shit a dating sim attempts to simulate how dating works irl, you don't need to go that deep into it. Using a dating sim to improve your dating life is just as useful as reading books and articles on the same matter, it's all just an attempt at making dating a systematic thing you can rinse and repeat until you hopefully succeed. In the end, if you're relying on anything like a dating sim to improve your actual dating life, you're probably already doing it wrong; take it from the guy who plays tons of Chinese porn games and, according to this video, should have multiple useful tips and tricks for dating, yet for some reason does not have a girlfriend. Maybe part 2 will be more exciting, but honestly I expected a bit more from Matt with such a big genre to tackle. Then again, from that ungodly clickbaity thumbnail, I shouldn't have expected much.

solidbatman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Not being a fucking creep, acting like your owed the girl, or acting desperate is how to get a girl. Not these shitty VNs where the end result usually feels more similar to a conquering. Okarin and Suzu Fanatic 2 Quote
VirginSmasher Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 We aren't chick magnets because we fap to chinese cartoons and still images of 2d women getting fucked. Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I never knew that VNs were ever meant to help get a girl - I always saw it as a form of entertainment and diversion. Though, I soppose some people can walk away with insight on the concept of empathy (or sometimes the lack of). After all, there is a right and wrong way to treat a person - but that's hardly rocket science - treat others how you would want to be treated. Has almost always worked for me. Okarin 1 Quote
Soulless Watcher Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I don't care if there is decades of scientific experimentation to generate data for this vid, I'ma going to play the creationist at a prehistorical museum and call it a load of shit without knowing anything about it. Quote
Valmore Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Sorry, but everyone knows comic books are where the girls are at. or did that only work for me? Quote

Won't lie, I did pick up some sexual techniques solely through reading some VNs back when I was lot younger. I'm sure at least one or two girls are thankful I read those (not that I would ever admit such a thing to them) Setting aside the really stupid and biologically incorrect stuff. (ie, the vagina is not a gateway to the stomach, no matter what some VN/doujin writers seem to imagine.) Quote
mitchhamilton Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 i think they do. im in the process of acquiring a harem right now. all i need is a tsundere, a childhood friend (usually the first two are one in the same), a girl i made a vague promise to years ago, a senpai, and a girl who doesnt freak out every time i accidentally see her in her panties. i have a few candidates for the last one but ill have to keep trying to see how it goes. ill update you guys on my progress.

Valmore Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'm betting on Senpai. Sure she seems modest and knowledgeable, but under that is a raging nympho just waiting to please your member with every various hole of her body. Quote
Arcadeotic Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 If there's a megane in that harem, it's sure to be her Quote
mitchhamilton Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What if its a megane, senpai whos a nympho?! can such a dream be possible?! Valmore 1 Quote
