What should I know before I attempt this? This will be my first playthrough of the game ever and I know it will be very challenging, but I think it'll be a fun experience. I just want to be prepared before I do it.

You are going to get frustrated.

Me too.

SR3 is the only open world game that, upon reaching the end, I actively wanted more.

@Mesoian:

Same here. It's probably not a good idea to open your show with your protagonist molesting an eight year old girl.

That stuff always felt funny because it never got too serious. But man, in season 2 the incest stuff is laid on sooooo thick, entire episodes devoted on why he wants to cheat on his girlfriend with one or both of his little sisters...

It's a trope that happens in anime a LOT. And most of the time, it's just gross.

Because sometimes, it really can get creepy. (Probably NSFW.)

I really like Bakemonogatari, but I had to stop watching season two because of how deep it goes into the pedophilia and incest stuff.

So recently Jeff, Ryan and Patrick have been playing some Japanese fan service laden games like Dead Or Alive 5 and 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors, and they without fail remark that the material is creepy or unsettling. As someone who hangs out with a lot of people, both men and women, who are into Japanese video games and anime, I find it weird when people call it creepy. I feel like American culture sexualizes things in similar ways, but they don’t really get called “creepy” for it. Sure, women call the designers and creators misogynistic, but clearly there’s a market of people for it who don’t think it’s weird or creepy or it wouldn’t get made.

Are girls as guilty of being weird or creepy for liking suggestive entertainment as guys? (Source: AzHP Photography http://www.facebook.com/AzhpPhotography )

I mean, a lot of my female friends really like the character designs of these sexualized characters, and even cosplay as them and pose for pictures for complete strangers. Are they creepy and weird for liking sexualized characters? Or is it a kind of double standard where it’s acceptable for women to appreciate female characters, but not men?

Anyway, I’m hoping this sparks some discussion and we can all get a better understanding of why there’s a stigma of creepiness behind sexualized Japanese entertainment.

Because the average age of the girls shown in fanservice is 13.

Everyone should buy it. It's only 30 bucks in the states and the game is confirmed to be awesome. The only reason it got pushed back was due to Sega's mismanagement.
