She's not even close to the most ridiculous fanservice character.

They actually had to tone down the violence and try to make VLR appeal to a more Japanese audience because the first one flopped in Japan. VLR flopped even harder. With ZTD they get to do whatever the hell they want.

I always wondered if Japan was as perverted as its game and anime industries would have you believe or if they've just been profiting on exploiting western weebs.

I can't speak for all cases, but for this series, it really took off in the west and didn't do well in Japan. ZTD was actually cancelled for a while because VLR flopped in Japan, but Aksys (US publishing company) worked with them to bring it back.

Basically the reason people like this series is not because weebs, I can guarantee you that.

If you haven't played them, I highly recommend the first two. Don't bother with the iOS version of 999 though, play it on the DS.

On the whole? Not really. The gross shit (loli, etc) is pretty niche, for the "otaku" types. There's a whole lot of people (read: the vast majority) who see that and are repulsed. Just like over here. Although you still get some weirdos defending loli shit (it's just cartoons), which is its own bag of worms.

But, on the other hand, boobs sell, just like in the west. And people do what they can to eke out everything from the horny perverts while the rest of the population begrudgingly tolerates it.

AFAIK that hasn't been a thing for decades.

Although I admit when writing that post I forgot about taking Creepy Old Dudes into account.

Also, to be fair, there's probably a fair number of Americans that would buy used panties from a vending machine, given the opportunity.

I tried to play the first one but the text speed made it unplayable. The entire game is just puzzles and dialog and they fucked up half of that. No thanks.

I'd say give it another chance. When you go through text you have already seen (you'll be playing through multiple times), there's a fast forward button. It's absolutely worth it
 
I'm sick of losing. Maybe I should stop playing.

I tried taking a break for three weeks but I can't play for shit anymore and I still get the same shithead CLQ fans and people that can't speak the same language and don't even try to on my team.

Your attempt to convince me backfired.

Without going into spoilers, I promise you it will all be worth it. It's part of it and has a lot to do with the best part of the game. The subsequent playthroughs will go really fast, through the stuff you've already seen. I can't really tell you more without ruining the best part for you.

as long as you saved those points
 
After pitlord, will Icefrog create new heroes?
I hope so. I remember the times when I was playing the newest dota heroes like Slark during warcraft days on leaked maps. Those were fun times.

Wasn't there like 4 WIP heroes datamined out of an old Dota version a while ago? I remember one had a Global Slow.

I hope this year we actually get some new heroes. Its been far to long.
