Instead of blogging about recent incidents, which I don't want to be reminded of, I am going to write a detailed analysis on GIRL'S DATING SIMS. >=)
Anyway, my dataing sim 'career' started with this one game on Gameboy Advance, I forgot the name, but it really sucked me in, now I'm addicted to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season (which is the sequel to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love, which I didn't really play because none of the guys really attracted me, lol) on DS. Oh the joy of having an R4 and playing all these random games that I would never buy. Coincidentally, I am also play Otometeki Koi Kakumei * Love Revo!! which is about 'you' who, as a kid, was really good looking and won all these beauty contests but due to an unhealthy obsession with sweets, you now weight over 100kg and moves into an apartment complex where the 'princes' of the school lives (also your oniichan is really hot and rumours have it that after you finish the game you can date him for some incest action... although other rumours suggest that he is in fact not your blood sibling but merely someone who you've called oniichan because you've been with him since small or something, but then no one is really sure because, well, the game is in Japanese, lol). I am also eagerly awaiting another coming up title called 'Dual Love', apparently the art was by the same person as popular shojo series HanaKimi or something. Anyway, my recent addiction to Tokimeki 2 resulted me in playing from 10pm to 11am STRAIGHT without any sleep and this inner guilt in which my brain accused me of obsessing over a dating sim...
Anyway, this game is in fact, so good, it is the first ever game that made me actually FEEL GUILTY about cheating on the guy in which I like. I don't know what makes this game so realistic, perhaps the hot voice acting, or the way the guys blushes, but it really made my weak overweight otaku heart 'tokidoki'. I never really got into Tokimeki 1 because the guys weren't really that hot and, err, it was all Japanese, but after playing other Jap games (because I no longer have the patience to wait 2 years for an english release, if it ever will be released), my comprehension of Japanese is fortunately better to the degree that I can understand the basics of the game now. Rest assured that now that I have played this game with its perfect anime bishis, I will never be satisfied with actually having a real boyfriend person thing. I am satisfied with forever drowning in this series (if, and I hope there will be, future installments).
In analysis of girl's dating sims, I have realised that guys are split into categories, where guys of each categories usually appear in each game, these are:
1. The Bishi All-Rounder: Yes, the Bishi, he is the most popular guy in school, girls swoon over his presence, although charming, he's usually pretty cold and distance when you first meet him, however, as you guys warm up, he'll become the sweetest cutest guy you can have (especially when he blushes x3).
Appearance - Well... he's a bishi, usually will sport a blonde longish (still short, but long-short, if you get what I mean, like their har is short but will swish and float when there is wind around xD)
At School - He is usually elite both academically and sports-wise, although not right at the peak (that's where the other categories come from).
Occupation/Clubs - He can range from a model for a magazine to hospitality industries, such as a waiter (a CHARMING waiter, where females customers swoon at their presence).
Comments - At first I don't really aim for the bishis, they're not really my type (because I don't really like those charming-all-the-ladies type), but then they totally charmed the pants off me when I got to know them better...
2. The Nerd: My most hated category, and I almost can never see anything attractive about those, totally not my type of guy, but that's just me. Usually a pretty serious type of guy, CAN have short moments where they are sorta hot, but only little moments.
Appearance - GLASSES GLASSES GLASSES is all I have to say. He also sports short, good-boy haircuts with a part or a fring, hmm, sorta like Trunks-hair I guess, but Trunks isn't a nerd. xD
At School - Always right at the top of the academic chart, on a side note, you'll also need pretty high marks if there is any chance he would be interested in you, pretty shallow if you ask me. Also he doesn't appear in sporting events such as the Sports Festival or whatever.
Occupation/Clubs - He usually doesn't have a part-time job (probably because it'll interupt with his studies or something) and spends the afternoon going to jukus (tutoring classes or whatever). Club-wise, if in any club, he would probably be with the students representatives, cuz he's a nerd xD.
Comments - No comments, I hate nerds, they become tedious when you try to get the ending for every guy and you have to date him to get his ending, yuck. Well, actually I haven't tried it, maybe I'll give him a go... after I finish with the other guys xD.
The Sports Guy: The range for this category is pretty wide actually, I've seen from Honey-Senpai type of cute sporting geniuses to Mori-Senpai type of the gentle giant. xD
Appearance - As mentioned before, he ranges, but I guess the typical one would have black/navy hair, a bandaid on his cheek and is constantly seen with a sporting equipment, like a basketball.
At School - Obviously good at sports, but would almost always suck academically.
Occupation/Clubs - Well, he's probably part of a sports club (duh), or he's working somewhere manly, like an oil-inserter-service-person... you know, at a petrol station, where they give you gas, in Japan.
Comments - Hmm... Usually, I'm pretty sucker for sporting types, but none of them really left an impression on me.
The Cute Kohai: For all of you who are in love with younger guys, this is for you. He usually won't come in until you are in second year (he IS a kohai afterall), so you'll have one year of nothing if your only aim is him.
Appearance - Cute. Sometimes, he can be a little cheeky, really, a little brother type.
Other female students tend to mother over him a lot...
At School - Like the Bishi, he is also usually elite both academically and sports-wise, although not right at the peak.
Occupation/Clubs - Hmm, no fixed club or job really, but probably not in a club where there's already a guy there xD. I've also seen him in the gardening club... -__-
Comments - Although, I like Teppei, which is besides the point, I find the cute kohai second worst (after the nerd), I'm just not really into little brother types... probably because I have one xD On a side note, there was this one cute kohai which at first I thought, hey! his voice sounds sorta Teppei-like! On closer inspection, he had a mole under the corner of his lips exactly where Teppei also has a mole!!! I don't know if this is a mere coincident... *squints eyes in suspicion*
The Bad-Ass: Oh~ My favourite!! <3 I really can't resist their bad-ass charm x3 Most likely THERE WILL BE A FIGHT SCENE between him and ugly goons, haha, oh, thinking about it turns me on
.
Appearance - HOT!!! Well, that's just my opinion. But most likely he'll have dyed hair (purple/red streaks/blonde/brown/whatever) cut in the most fashionable/hot way, spikes/long fringes brushed to the side/WHATEVER!! <3
At School - Obviously at the bottom of the academic rank... But I still love him.
Occupation/Clubs - Usually none, sometimes you can hardly even find him at school... Recently I've seen him as a musician, like in a guitar with a band working at a CD store... I guess they're trying to soften his image and give him some 'good qualities' (although I loved him even when he had no purpose in life or society)
Comments - w00t!! LOVE! But he doesn't usually appear at the beginning of the game, so you'll have to be patient until he appears.
The Gaijin: Yes, there are usually gaijins in dating sims. xD He is usually eccentric and a little (well, actually, VERY) flirtatious. Unfortunately, he also always speak in Kansai-ben (don't ask me why, I mean, it awould already be difficult for the gaijin to speak in Japanese, let alone Kansai-ben. But then they do tend to make 'people who are different' speak in Kansai-ben xDDD)
Appearance - Has shiny blonde hair, the more eccentric ones would have long flowing blond hair with several tiny braids in it... -_- Also has blue eyes...
At School - No idea, LOL.
Occupation/Clubs - He usually participate in clubs (although according to sources, university clubs don't let exchange students join clubs because they're not going to be there for the whole uni years). He can sometimes be found in the art club, where he'll ask you to model for him, cuz you're 'meccha kawaii' xDDD
Comment - MEH!!! Don't like gaijins, if I liked gaijins I would've played games like Miami Nights: Singles in the City, LOL.
The Hot Teacher: Yes, you heard right, the teacher is almost always dateable. He ranges a lot in my opinion, his personality can range from strict to clumsy/cute.
Appearance - Well, he's 'proper', I don't know, sometimes, he sports a Kyoya (from Ouran) look, sometimes, a Ned Flanders green jumper...
At School - Err, he's the teacher... In Tokimeki 2, he's also a genius who has 200IQ and did research in USA at the age of 13 xDDD
Occupation/Clubs - He is definitely one of the 'komon' (advisors) of a certain club, I've seen him in the band and the altheletic club (where he showed off his stunning high jumps of grace under the sunset LOL)
Comments - You can't ask him out on dates, excursions are sort of like you guy's form of dates xDDD Makes excursions out into one akward activity (luckily there aren't any more excursions now that I'm in uni, lol) If he likes you enough, he will ask you out one-on-one Umm, I really hated the teacher from Tokimeki 1, but I was totally in love with the teacher in Tokimeki 2, he's sooooooooo cute with his absent-minded-ness. x3
...I suddenly can't be bothered continuing because I'm going back to play the game now.
Anyway, my dataing sim 'career' started with this one game on Gameboy Advance, I forgot the name, but it really sucked me in, now I'm addicted to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season (which is the sequel to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love, which I didn't really play because none of the guys really attracted me, lol) on DS.
