16bit Sensation #01 — Why Elf Went Bankrupt
October 4th, 2023
It's definitely not the mismanagement and only making garbage for twenty straight years.
Impressions:
And now after listening to this nasally yelling for twenty minutes, I profoundly miss the deep voiced dude. Good lord is that irritating, especially when screaming out 'jokes' like "REAL LIFE IS A CRAP GAME!" or "THIS IS THE GAME WHERE SHE GOES UGUU!" Not that I expected a lot here, and possibly the least surprising thing is that opening a copy of Doukyuusei sends you back to the 90s. I always knew not to trust elf. Okay, it's probably the witch with the disappearing porn game shop. Got to keep up with the times, I guess. I'm not even sure what this is trying to be or do. Probably a comedy, I guess? But again, forgot the jokes, and if it's just going to yell some platitudes about how attractive Key's designs were… KEY… is there really enough nostalgia for that alone to work on?
Even when it's trying to yell emotional dramatic stuff though, about how attractive and pretty girls are while putting up a shot of Kanon's box with Ayu's giant-ass eyes that consume a full 40% of her face, I don't think it's hitting its marks. Even back in the day, we mocked how freakish and alien they looked. It was such low hanging fruit, even Strong Bad got in on it. Mostly, I don't get why it blew its load of revealing that she would be traveling in time back to the supposed golden age of VN porn right from the start. Why are they trying to make that both the hook and the cliffhanger? To cover for forgetting to write jokes? Or a story? Or maybe to just give the rest of the cast the week off while they make one person with a head cold scream for twenty minutes.
