Musings on the Let's Plays and Hentai Game Reviews

I’m going to make a few changes to the Let’s Plays and how I blog about monster girl games.  Initially the detailed playthroughs of monster girl hentai games seemed a good way to generate material for this blog.  While they’re fun and give me an incentive to actually play all the way through a game, they do take up time that might be better spent on writing my own original fiction.

Also, the entertainment of the playthrough is dependent on how interesting the game is.  To be honest, DramaraQuest V didn’t give me a lot to work with other than an excuse to post pictures of semi-naked anime monster girls (not that bad of a thing, admittedly!).  I suspect there was also a lack of interest out there judging by the tail off in hits and number of comments.

This doesn’t mean I won’t be doing any more Let’s Plays.  I’m just going to be a little choosy with the games I do.  The other thing I want to do is get the reviews out faster.  Currently I tack them onto the end of the playthroughs as a more permanent summary of my thoughts on the game.  What I’ll aim to do is to switch it around and put the review out first so they’ll be a better resource for readers wondering whether they should purchase the game or not.  If I find the game sufficiently interesting/sexy/batshit crazy, or you out there want to see more of it, I’ll start a Let’s Play and go through in more detail.

If I really like the game I’ll probably throw Jackson into it for the shits and giggles.  It’s about time I got his adventures restarted again.

And yes, I will give Mon-musu Quest: Paradox the full Let’s Play treatment when it comes out (Ilias help me!).  That one will almost certainly be interesting/sexy/batshit craxy enough to merit a more detailed look.

  1. I had almost forgotten about your silly HRPG stories with Jackson. I really liked Dab, the bubbles dragon...even if uh, well she was pretty gross too actually. But the binding bubbles were fun.

    Perhaps a good idea would be to check DLsite or somewhere else for popular/highly anticipated Hentai games.

    I look forwaaarrrd to more stories!

  2. MEH,
    Seriously enjoy your playthroughs and reviews, but will admit to enjoying your stories even more.
    And I do appreciate your help (I was the one you helped on MGU with the section of Dramaraquest on your part 11 review).
    But here's the point, I think you need to work on what strikes your fancy WHEN it strikes your fancy. This is YOUR blog, the rest of us are just vicariously enjoying the fruit of your labors.
    It either titillates us or it doesn't. And while I personally enjoy much of what you write (with a handful of exceptions), that's on us. If you enjoy what you write, that's on you. And which is more fulfilling to YOUR life.
    Just my thoughts,

    p.s. And by the by, more JacksonHRPG is appreciated (at least by me), but write what YOU want.

  3. I enjoyed your playthroughs
    but as you said, they can only be as good as the material you have to work with, and your stories are also really good (i especially enjoyed the unbirth ones, those are hard to find)

    btw, what program do you use for translation? is it any good?

    I ask because I'm honestly worried that MGQ Paradox, the only game I'm really looking forward to at the moment, might simply be too big for Dargoth, no matter how reliable he might be

    1. AGTH + Translation Aggregator. There are some guides on hongfire.com that explain how to set it up. I might look around for other options for MGQ:P as my current setup isn't as useful now that google blocks Translation Aggregator

  4. Please when you do the review of Monster Girl Quest Paradox, pick Ilias as the partner since you can choose between her or Alice and i am curious how it will turn out.

    1. I picked Ilias in the demo. She had a lot of funny lines. I'll probably play around with 2 starts and see which one I prefer.
