Talk:Rance (series)
Shouldn’t the article mention all the rape and sexual assault? edit
I haven’t played this game (honestly, I never will) but I read a review:
http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/07/game-104-rance-quest-for-hikari-1989.html?m=1
I do not know if he qualifies as a reputable source, but I have found him to be very good. This article does not seem to line up with the facts he gives. I could read this entire article and not know that assaults and rapes take place throughout this game. “Erotic Game” does not seem to do it justice.
I’m afraid I do not have the stomache to track down other reviews for this, but would ask if anybody feels up for fleshing out this article?
If crpgaddict is reputable, would anybody object to the addition of: “This game has been compared to the movie ‘I Spit on Your Grave’ by crpgaddict due to the amount of rape and sexual assaults.”
Basically, I don’t want some teenaged nephew getting this game thinking it is on par with a summer rom com. Bertrc (talk) 20:30, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- It's pretty standard for the genre so hardly noteworthy, the article does mention it is an erotic game so probably not appropriate for your nephew regardless of the nature of the sexual activities depicted.
- Haven't played the game either, but wouldn't bother adding the warning since 1) it is standard for these type of games and warning against one is warning against the entire genre. 2) a random blog may be exaggerating the amount and graphic nature based on their disgust at the content, or even have some personal dislike for the developer.
- There's constant debate over whether to disregard since it's fiction or draw the line. If you see a game labelled erotic that features combat based gameplay almost guaranteed there will be sexual assault after female protagonists losing battles.
