      Im not surprised. One has to agree that its theme (if not anything else) was great.

    How did Tokyo Necro not win the Graphics section? I haven’t seen battle sequences that well choreographed and animated in the world of VN since Mahoyo.

    To be honest, seeing games like Pure Connect winning the award for scenario makes me think of two possible options:
    1) Holy shit the games sucked in 2015 and/or
    2) The Japanese (or the audience at least) are absolutely clueless to how to determine what’s good from bad

      Good does not necessarily mean “deep”. Good can mean well-executed, and as an easy-to-enjoy, simple romance with easily lovable characters, Pure Connect performed extremely well.

        I guess you definitely have a point. After all, a “good nukige” would be a game that prioritizes the sexual content over anything else.

        The problem I have with Pure Connect is my previous experience with Smee games which had a pretty good “romance transition” which involved face to face interactions by the characters and not some cheap text messages.

        Furthermore, the point of Pure Connect was it was advertised as a “dating sim”, but lacked elements to make it a dating sim as mentioned previously. It’s exactly like having a game advertised as a nukige and have the H-scenes suck

          Forgot to add that the game won the award for **SCENARIO**, not because it was “easy to enjoy”, or its “simple romance”, or “lovable characters”.

      3) It’s time to quit playing eroge.

      Well from memory, 2015 was a pretty bad year. But I think both 1 & 2 play a part in that ranking orz

I'm no longer making any eroge posts nor actively updating the upcoming releases. Thanks for following the blog through all these years and hope that it has been helpful. Please continue to support the eroge industry and love your imoutos!
