Is Shinobu Yagawa still at Cave?

[MR_Soren]

In which case I don't expect manly men to be interested in cartoon guns and animated aeroplanes ignoring laws of physics, either. Or in videogames whatsoever.

So, manly shmup is an oxymoron?

[TLB]

ok then...ibara might be manly if you play with your eyes closed :wink:

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite parts: the screaming metal Shinji Hosoe soundtrack.



And if Ibara isn't manly, what is? Cho Aniki? Sry kno its jist gay


And jonny, how many lolis are there? ONE? OH YEAH I FKN FORGOTTED SRY.
Now we know how bad jonny is at 1. Raizing 2. Making accurate assumptions
:)

Have you guys ever even heard Bond's voice? Good god it's so manly it nearly impregnated me and I'm not even female.

what are you on about.....there are 5 rose sisters, correct.....and you see them between every stage.....this game is dominated by pinks and girly imagery....

now how does this say anything about me being bad at raizing and making assumptions....im not assuming anything...ive owned and played the game.....im basing my point on facts

that being said, video games as a whole are not really a manly thing.....

i only commented becuase you called an obviously girly game 'manly'

although i do agree the soundtrack is quite good

you are a strange young man

[CStarFlare]

ibara is a game about beating up a milf and her hot daughters

how is that not manly

[Plasmo]

You obviously haven't play Ibara then, maybe you're talking about Pink Sweets or something. Ibara is as manly as videogames can get. (no matter if that's actually a whole lot or not very much at all)

[mortified_penguin]

How is it not manly? A fabulously colored army lead by women rises up and you TROUNCE THAT SHIT WITH A GIANT ASS HADOU BLAST OF MANLINESS.

Eat steak, punch a baby, burn flowery shit. GRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[Danbo]

It would be a lot manlier if all the Rose Garden girls were men but in the same outfits, I reckon.

[jonny5]

you guys are retarded

you are arguing that a game full of pinks and flowers is manly.....

[BulletMagnet]

you guys are retarded

you're all arguing at length about the perceived "manliness" of a video game

Fixed.

[jonny5]

i give up

[mortified_penguin]

So much repressed shame for our hobby. it's ok guys, you're among friends here.

[BIL]

This whole discussion is making Samson and Adon weep.

[undamned]

Sorry. what did this guy do again?

He's the guy behind all the paper craft loli games you find on the backs of their arcade flyers.

The first Rose slut is faaar underage, yes, but the rest of them are matured far past the loli stage ^_~

I cried laughing while reading all the posts since my last.

Very...interesting points were made.

To a Cave-fan, apparently nothing is more manly than pretending to be a purple-haired, disproportionate, insect-princess-loli, flying around on a giant beetle.
Or a blonde-twintailed loli with batwings, wielding a pair of garden shears.
Or a couple of gender-shifting fairies.

What's that river in Egypt called, again? ^_-

[chempop]

This is a very educational thread... my 2cents

I was explaining to a friend that cave needed a cash cow game (death smiles), I saw his puzzled expression from looking at the box... don't think he's too fond of loli or goth, and especially the combination thereof. Games like this can be promoted heavily with live actors in cos-play selling merchandise such as "love-pillows" with Deathsmiles characters printed on pillowcases.... talking about this didn't make me feel manly at all (typing is slightly less shameful). Good thing him and I go way back and have nothing to hide (except out loligoth-love-pillows, naturally) and he was actually quite fond of the game.

Hopefully Ibara won't inspire such shame but then again if its filled with flowers and lingerie I might be able to get a girl friend to give it a try.... when she fails miserably I'm wretch about how she isn't manly enough for rose gardens, thats sure to get me laid.

i never ever said cave games in general were manly.....i simply commented when someone suggested one of the most effeminate cave titles was 'manly'.....

im the first to admit that a lot of the themes cave has used in recent years comes off pretty gay at a glance

im not at all concerned by this mind you.....just thought it odd someone to say they felt flowers and an abundance of pink was 'manly'

back on topic now....

so is there any confirmed answers about yagawa's involvement at cave presently?

[TLB]

Dunno, are there? ^_~

I know you've probably already seen it, which is kinda scary when you think about it.... but people who have any idea what this video is for shouldn't be allowed to even use the word "manly" in a sentence in my humble opinion.

On-topic: So the feeling I get is that Ibara and Pink Sweets bombed, hence why the Ibara PCB is going for $200+ when most other recent games are far more loot. I'd hope that Yagawa is still in biz, ideally he's propose something to G-Rev because they are far more open to trying something new and different (unlike Cave, obviously). Just look at G-rev's line up and you'll understand how open minded they are... they can be manly also (Under Defeat, sans the picture gallery).

there is a word for such a situation but I don't think it is "manly"

its not a matter of willingness to try new things.....its just business.....all the games that yagawa has done since joining cave have flopped comparatively.....

so it woulds make sense that they might not be to inclined to give him another chance

[Danbo]

you guys are retarded

you are arguing that a game full of pinks and flowers is manly.....

Are you confusing it for pink sweets perhaps? The stages and enemies of ibara are fairly subdued steampunk style with a gothic twist to them... i think the only pink in the entire game is the rose garden insignia.

On the topic of Ibara, is there any sort of English translation for the ending/general dialogue anywhere?

wait....ibara and pink sweets arent the same game? you sure?

Ibara "bombed" because people were expecting Cave and got Raizing.
Pink Sweets "bombed" because it's a vicious play on his typical signature rank systems, and it was pretty fucking hard for people to get used to. (Some players didn't like the idea of infinite lives either, though AZI has since proved that you can clear the game without it and still score high.)
Muchi Muchi Pork, I believe, was quite a success, and was well-received by Cave players on both sides of the planet.

[jpj]

ibara is fucking hardcore

[kernow]

and awesome

[jonny5]

i said comparatively......and i thought muchi muchi pork got mixed reviews.....

either way....1 out of 3 isnt really a sound business plan
