have any of you even played the game? I have and I like it, if you get some of the ending its very sweet and nice. I've gotten the game in japanese first and I was dying to find out what was truly being said. When I found out it came out in english I was thrilled. And it did say that the game would be dark, angst, and stuff. But i say it has great graphics including the characters. i'm just amazed they actually release a yaoi game in the us. they may have yaoi/shounen-ai on dvd and books. You should give the game a chance and not just listen to some people who just trash it and say it sucks when you have never played it. I hate hentai games yet I still give it a chance. So before you start trashing a game, give it a play and if you still say it sucks then go ahead.

Actually the market is for women. Rolling Eyes

BL games [the news release is a badly worded] can be dating-sims or interactive manga. In the case of Enzai it's like a click through interactive 'yaoi' manga. It's very sexual, but you must read the story and click your way through scenarios in order to get various endings, some good-some bad.

In essence there aren't many 'yaoi dating games' I've seen that resemble the 'hentai-dating games' I've encountered. Women don't really interact in the same way men do with what is considered 'interactive porn'. It's not all visually pornographic; it's story driven.

And can we all grow up a tad and stop belittling a genre because you think its Gay or Yaoi.

How does one accidently download an anime that's over 35 minutes long? And How can you not know it's Yaoi? Enzai? False Imprisonment? Surprised

Sorry, not sporking but it just seems a bit fetched. You might want to Google a title next time before you DL it.

It's a historical story set during the Napoleonic era about a young street rat whose set up for a murder he didn't commit. He's set up by a dubious prison warden and is placed into a 'yaoi' infested prison complete with all the stereotypes that prison tales contain from sadistic prison guard to ho-for-free prison friend. What you have to do is interact with the story and help the unjustly accused character stay out of trouble long enough to clear his name.

thats true, how can you accidentally download something that is quite big. but still it just bugged me to see that people could start dissing a game that sometimes dont even play it. i understand after you played it and disliked it, I've done the same thing but not dis a game that i haven't played

Laughing As spectators perhaps but not as participators. That 's what yuri games would be for in reverse. Also what is shounen-ai, and yaoi all about then? Brotherly friendship? Laughing

I'm not here to teach a class on Yaoi, I've done it so many times now... I suggest, if you really care what Yaoi is beyond your comical interest in this thread- to visit
http://www.aestheticism.com/visitors/reference/index.htm

It will answer your questions for you. We are participators in this spectator sport-it's all in the mind for women.
