In fact, in one instance, when you meet a girl for the first time she’s lying on the ground, with her legs spread. I’m not even joking about that that’s the very specific aesthetic fetish that Beach Bounce has. This game exists exclusively to provide you with images of girls spreading their legs. Beach Bounce Remastered is an example of this. My thresholds here are really low – I think Nekopara is a delight and I’ve put ungodly hours into Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, for example – but if a game doesn’t give me a reason to care for the characters and therefore want the fan service, I tend to tap out. If you haven’t got a reason to be a fan in the first place, fan servicing up the character’s not going to do much. However, fan service in isolation does nothing. That’s why Good Smile Company can make figures of those characters, and sell them for $500 a pop. Done well it’s entertaining, aesthetically pleasing (yes, it’s nice to look at pretty people), and tends to make a game, and its characters, more memorable.
