Koikatsu/HS2, yes or no? And which one do you prefer?

[Paiopony]

I really like both but only if they have custom animations. What do you think about them?

 

[stangnomez]

HS. The anime style really does not do it for me.

same here

I would say it depends on the job, it's not a style that says it's horrible or I love it, it depends on each game. It's like digital animation in movies, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad.

 

[4all]

hell nah, anything but Koikatsu.

 

[User_80256]

Neither. I hate Japanese graphics, I hate HS with their deadpan faces capable of expressing 3-4 emotions but nothing more.
It's just that these graphics offend my notions of beauty and sense of beauty.

 

[SegmentCoalescing]

Honey Select 2 looks much better to me.
I'm not a fan of the Koikatsu style.

Yep, totally agree

HS/HS2 is fine, anime-style but kinda more... adult? Dunno, Koikatsu is too much children-show-optics for me, not sure how to explain it, but not a fan of it. I follow exactly one Koikatsu game, because its a cool premise and all, but it being Koikatsu really draws my rating of it down, would be much better if it was HS... :x

 

[Freyr]

HS is a reasonable way to create a game in a relatively easy manner. Compared to Daz it's easier and also lighter on your PC.
It's not great but if the story is good enough I am willing to overlook it.

Koikatsu is in a way similar but what bothers me is that it is very difficult to distinguish characters. Often, all end up looking the same. Which is really annoying.

 

[XPS3]

I prefer HS2 over Koikatsu because it just feels more "right" to me.

 

[Chainedpanda]

On average, Koikatsu. However, there are some games that make HS2 look phenomenal. Eternum being the best example.

 

[Cave_enjoyer]

I like variety, however koikatsu I find has less room for failure on rendering models. Well done hs2 is quite abit better overall.

 

[qyruixyhg]

HS2, Koikatsu is hit and miss for me, but HS2 always turns me on

 

[kdunnorofl]

HS2! Koikatsu, was okay at first now it's usually a skip. HS2 just looks so good

 

[Duckpoo69420]

for me it doesn't matter what matters to me is the quality of the animations

 

[BombaBomb]

HS2. Koikatsu is fine if some effort is put into it and isn't default animations.

 

[hashdalein]

I am more of a Koikatsu man myself

 

[langy77]

HS2 can get into the uncanny valley for me, so I tend to prefer Koikatsu. But I don't prefer most people's koikatsu offerings. So most of the time it's neither, with some exceptions.

 

[Smrdgy]

Bit late, but I really don't like the style of koikatsu, HS2 plays on my preferences, it looks real enough, but the characters still look unique. Unfortunately 98% of the games are either over/under lit and they simply look terrible, not to mention the wet dream of every eco-warrior with the amount of recycled animations.
