Ok, I'm looking for a dating sim that lets me play as a nice guy or a total jerk. Bonus points if there's other goals than ravishing the ladies.

Not much, maybe 2-3 PC games years ago. The stand out being one where I managed (and slept with) 3 maids though that may not narrow it down.

You might want to try a visual novel or two. It is hard to know what you might be interested in. "Family Project" is a great story with multiple paths but it is not full of sex scenes (though it does have them). It is a pretty long game/story though but there is fully translated version of the game available.

Now there are some shorter "Peach Princess" and G-Collection translated games/visual novels that I have played with tons of action and also a story line as well as a few RPGs' with a sex scenes. Of the classic shorter ones I loved "Virgin Roster" (the protaganist is a serial r**ist....but he is so bad he is good) "Jewel Knight Crusader" is just a fun sex romp and you should play it at least once....(there is just a lot of fucking going on in that one).

Dating sims is just not a term I hear much anymore, though I am sure I played a few. They even have a few "yaoi" games out....I actually tried one I kept hearing rave reviews about but I am not really into that type of stuff at all.....I justed wanted something different and unusual. There are some loli ones as well but finding one of those with a story line is a challenge like no other....those are mostly pretty straight forward porn stories. Musumaker is an exception but it is pretty sic stuff and only partially translated (yeah, I loved it). Any of the Rance series are fun but dating sims they are not.

You can find a torrent for most of them if you look hard enough or just buy them if you have the spare dough. http://vndb.org/ is a site dedicated to visual novels and the like, translated or not. There is more input there than you can shake a stick at.

Probably not the kind of game OP is looking for, but I've just started playing LovePlus(English patch) on the DS :inlove:

It's probably too late but for anyone else looking for good dating sims ,I suggest the rather heart-breaking tear-jerkingingly-heart-wrenching-pulling called Katawa Shoujo.

Now I will not say anything bad about a fan made (chan supported) Visual Novel. Katawa Shoujo has gotten nothing but rave reviews and I hear the sex scenes are pretty decent. I have not been able to bring myself to play it though, the whole handicapped girl thing just is a big turn off for me. I admit it took some serious imagination to come up with such an original plot and pull it off, but a girl with no arms, one with no legs, a blind girl, a wooden leg girl...etc., ....well, I just can't seem to get excited by it.

i dont play dating sim but saw this one on nyuu
http://sukebei.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=481633

look like something you may be interest in


That is one of the better torrent sites for Japanese software and such. Should be noted that Illusion games require a decent system as they are CPU and memory hungry things, (eating up resources to power their 3D games), and this particular game is not translated....yet.

My favorites are Crescendo and Snow Sakura ;)

Snow Sakura (I believe Sakura translates into "Cherry Blossom") is considered a classic. "Crescendo is also considered to be very good (made by the same people as "Kana: Little Sister" which is considered an epic visual novel). I haven't played either one but these are excellent suggestions.

If you happen to have a PSVita I recommend Conception 2 for dating sim-ish game.

These children are created via a process called "classmating", which involves Wake and the female student touching one another and then forming the Star Child via a special matryoshka doll

Come on game, you know what I want.
