As you awaken in a mysterious mansion, a butler greets you informing that you and 4 other guys have been randomly invited (against their will) to play a card game. You see, the owner of the mansion just loves games, it’s quite his passion. Everyone who plays gets a modest reward, (or you could say it’s hush money so you don’t alert the authorities.)

April Fools is just as big over here as it is in Japan. Every year they come up with new ridiculous announcements, some of them are inside jokes which I’d obviously wouldn’t understand. But some are just in your face and bizarre.

Toku Toku BB by GMO, is an internet service provider that covers pretty much a variety of things including VPS. They started their own social game called Muscle Collection. Well actually according to them it’s not really a Social Game, it’s a “SoshaGe” which is just an abbreviated form of the phrase.

For this game’s minimum specs they recommend some really really expensive computers.

In this game you spin Gachapons, (a Gacha is the toy vending machine you see near stores) and collect muscular men with various names and special moves. There’s two Gachas, the first one they claim is for kids… But the SUPER GACHA, is for adults, and my do they get very homoerotic.

We’re all geeks right, and what do geek’s collect? Figurines! Check out these baralicious figurines made by Itetsu Ogura.

This one is called Mikoshi. It’s a depiction of the 男の祭りor Man Festival.

The fuzziest cub on Tumblr!

Dampierre was freely available within the game for those who pre-ordered. I didn’t get the chance to and thought I wasn’t missing out on much. That’s until I matched up with him in Quick Match mode and saw all these ridiculous moves. His fighting style is quite quirky and dirty. What fighting style has you hold a guy’s legs and stomp rapidly on their crotch?

Eventually he became available for the rest of the public as a DLC, marking this the first time I’ve ever purchased any Soul Calibur DLC. I totally skipped out on the whole Yoda/Vader, sorry they just weren’t worth it.

Dampierre’s moves sometimes ends up with him doing self inflicted damage, or he’ll make both him and his opponent fall down together. I don’t know how good he is on a competitive standpoint, but he ended up being the most interesting fighting style in the game.

From a Bara standpoint, Dampierre isn’t much of a looker, he’s one of those guys you have to stare for a while before you might consider him attractive. However, using his fighting style on a custom character lets you perform a very homoerotic throw. Though, Voldo’s moveset still manages to create a gay atmosphere, but we’ll talk about that another day.

Tony Tony Tony… I don’t know how you do it.  This is the wildest Soul Calibur 5 submission I’ve ever seen.

Oh yes, there’s more Soul Calibur 5 submissions! His name is Bassineós using the soul of Cervantes.

This is my SC V character in detail. Tattooed, pierced and ready to slash those nasty opponents into pieces 🙂 Based on myself, but damn, wish I just looked like him.

I think he turned out pretty cute, very nice balance of tribal tattoos on the front. Something I haven’t really thought of doing before was adding nipple piercings. Nice suggestion!

Love the scorpion placement. 😉

Game: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Publisher: EA
Platform: PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Price: $59.99
Notes: Even though the game is single-player, there’s an online pass in new copies, which unlocks exclusive quests and locations.

Gameplay:
The game is a single player, open-world, high fantasy RPG.  After the gorgeous visuals, combat is the best part of the game. There’s a variety of weapons (longswords, chakrams, daggers, etc.), and combat is based on timed button press combos and QTEs, rather than point-and-click attacking.

Standard RPG fare such as crafting, blacksmithing, socketing gems, alchemy, theft, and lock-picking are part of the game.  There are the standard 3 basic job classes (called Destinies) of warrior, rogue, and mage, with hybrids of each.  You’re free to change class as you wish, for a small fee.

Graphics:
Graphics are great, aside from a few minor clipping and bloom issues. There’s eye candy everywhere, from the character abilities and animations to the environments.  The game doesn’t shoot for realistic graphics, and the sheer amount of color everywhere makes Skyrim look especially monochromatic.

Sound:
Sound effects are typical for a fantasy RPG, and the soundtrack is on par with that.  It doesn’t necessarily shine, but it’s exciting when it needs to be. Voice acting is good, however your character doesn’t speak any dialog which detracts from the story.

Playability:
The lead designer claims that fully completing the game and all side quests should take around 200+ hours. The main quest is around 40-80 hours depending on your play-style.

Other Stuff:
If you’re looking for an immersive story along the lines of Dragon Age or Mass Effect, you aren’t going to find it here.  It doesn’t seem like the results of your quests have much bearing on the world.  The hardest difficulty level seems to be anything but. Character customization is limited to only facial hair and features, tattoos, and jewelry.  There’s only one body type.

Why is it Bara?:
Plenty of swinging big hammers, muscly monsters, facial hair galore, and the occasional big belly…mhmm.

This game has been having some buzz in the Bara circles, so it was only natural to feature it here! Enjoy the rest of the gallery with Grimace’s created characters!

ultramooz submits his Kingdoms of Amalur characters.

These characters were created in the “Kingdoms of Amalur : Reckoning” demo on PS3, and it made me want to try the full game!

Sadly you can’t undress them more than that, but there is a PC version and the maybe some mods will help our naughty purposes

But as a special treat, Grimace has written up a mini review of the full version, check it out in the next post!

The deadline for this contest is over, so any submissions received onward would be placed into the next contest which would probably start in the fall of ’12. We’ll probably start the voting process in March since there’s a few submissions not yet posted because they are tied to articles.

Here’s another City of Heroes character called Esau, a muscle bear biker. Wouldn’t mind being rescued by him.  😉
