No, Rance is on the same level as being a cookie-cutter character, he's just on the opposite end If there was anything interesting about Rance, After 7 or more games the novelty of having a jerk who's only interested in sex has worn out.

>>2802865
It's not compelling.
There are thousands games that take a blank slate character who is a normal guy mostly and you see different paths or whatever.
Rance is interesting cause he follows a very different process which causes unpredictable events. And the overall nature of the games relies on unpredictability and comedic events as much as normal plot and interaction.
If you find that 'distasteful', then just don't play Rance games.
Saying shit like 'It would be better if Rance wasn't rance' is silly and pointless.

The point is that most of them don't much focus where you have 'routes' and events for a different lead to have a point. The lead you suggest would not take advantage of different women and only focus on the two or three provided. Plus, this is the fucking seventh Rance game, where many of the mechanics and interactions depend on his set character.

If you have waifu fantasies, keep them in your head, fulfilling them through the game would not make it better.

Rape mostly happens after conquering countries, while almost all character clears are not.Rape scenes through and through are much less in comparison. But the fact that more than one exists wgilke the SEX is not teh focus on the game creates this impression.
>>2803171
Except the point is not in RELATIONSHIPS with girls, fucking retard. There are few cases where they are under focus, and is related to the main plot events. And CGs being hot or not is completely unrelated to what happens in-game pretty much and very subjective.

I disagree with this, there are far too many games with this formula, I for one enjoy Rance as it is, seeing something different instead of the usual obnoxious ignorant moralfag main character.

Like I said, Kentarou as an eroge protagonist would really suck. He wouldn't bang anyone except Miki (if he can even bang her). Banging other girls would be out-of-character for him since he's in love with Miki. Maybe they can make an eroge where Miki is the only heroine but alicesoft doesn't really make games like that.

Rance really is the best protagonist for this type of games. If you tried to put a decent guy on a conquest eroge you'd end up with something like Daibanchou, where there's a lot of rape but you're not the one doing the raping. Seeing other people raping your recruitable chars isn't fun.

This. Sengoku Rance is one of the few eroge I've been this interested in because I fap to Sengoku-era stuff. The gender swapping is very well done and the art is above par from some of the other historical genderswap SEXAN GAEMZ so far.

But the MAIN CHARACTER kind of ruins it.

>> No.2804116

Plus Kentarou makes a perfect foil for Rance. Just the fact that he's in there and interacting with Rance makes things better for most parties involved. Those who don't like Rance as a protagonist can still have a significant character to read the story for, and the material practically writes itself for more instances to show Rance's alpha male tendencies.

My problem with Rance isn't so much with Rance himself, but rather the shitty sex-game comedy vibe he represents. I like having ero scenes, the more the better -- I don't want to try and identify with an average-looking Marty Stue dumbass who constantly makes jeuvenile refrences to sex and "doing" girls. What makes it completely absurd and drags down the experience is that the girls actually take it -- "Hey wanna fuck?!" Lol. So what makes this any better than a typical fap-tool game?

A better writer could have kept the best parts of the humour, while creating a hero we WANT to identify with who doesn't mouth facepalming dialouge every scene he is in, and then see girls, completely without any semblence of reality of action or behavior, immediatele spread their legs.

Yes you are. The protagonist represents the penis of the player; when he gets a girl, we, the player, get the girl.
