/vr/ - Retro Games

My issue with TokiMemo is way less of LOL JAPAN and more of my general dislike of life/dating sims - it's the same kind of reason I hate Animal Crossing, actually. The girls in TokiMemo aren't so much characters as much as a set of logical IF-THEN statements, with a bit of artwork and a voice actress associated with them. When these aspects are fleshed out, like in The Sims, or made a smaller part of a bigger game, like Persona 3, I think this is OK. Similarly, I can excuse visual novels, because their strength comes in their writing/narrative. But when it's the crux of the "gameplay", it comes off as really, really fake. It doesn't help that TokiMemo is quite tedious to play.
