How does this compare to Honey Select?

Hey guys, to those who has already "cleared" Honey Select, how does Koikatsu Party compare to HS?

I can see that it's more anime-ish, but what about the interactive options? More actions? More freedom? And perhaps better auto controls?

Does it also have elements of Home Mate built into it?

Edit: Damn son, I just saw the VR mode. I need to learn how to grow a third hand.

The number of sex animations is about the the same (compared to HS), if you count all the unocked ones and all the location dependant ones. Some rude sex options like triangular horse or tied girl and stuff are omitted, and it's rather understandable. It would be rather strange to see them in an academy setting.

There are more activities in KK actually. Walking around the academy, talking with girls (and getting different replies), participating in story events. All this is not present neither in HS nor in PH.

With roughly the same amount of mods it loads WAY longer than either HS or PH.

Typical KK installation with HF patch has about 590 sideloader mods alone. I really doubt some typical HS installation has more than 100 mods for accessories and stuff installed.

The reason for longer loading times is the number of characters on the map. It's more than 30 for KK (though low-poly ones) vs 3 max (but high-poly ones) for HS or PH. Like 85% of the loading time for KK is loading characters + mods to display each properly.

So the key question here is what visual style you want. If you want realistic one, get HS (don't forget to get 4k skin mod) or PH.

If you want something anime looking and want have some other interactions with girls than sex, get KK.

Then in fine, what is the difference between PH and HS? Both have the same visual style, are quick sex simulator without any "story"... I suppose both have the same kind of content in the character editor (clothes, face model, accessories, etc).

Graphical quality of both is almost the same, bit slightly better in PH (really slightly, you'll have to look really closely to notice the difference). Amount of stuff in character editor is sligtly better in PH too. Plus PH has more sex animations and system for mixing two similar animations into one at any proportions (that's the main difference from HS gameplay wise).

But most of these new sex animations in PH look mediocre and show drawbacks in character's modelling, animating and physics (while HS animations done to hide these moments well).

Ok then, thanks. For someone who likes vanilla h-scenes more than fetish-specific things, is one better suited than the other?

It depends on what sex fetishes you enjoy more in games. HS is about voluntary sex with happy girls, PH is about incest / [forced sex], which is usually reflected on girl's faces/tense music/darker color palette.

Boy do I disagree with this one statement.
PH is WAY better looking than HS, assumed both are modded to look the best possible way.
This level of visual fidelity is simply unachievable in HS.

Dunno, I always used 4k skin (old one) + HoneySelect Graphic Patch. With it HS looks same as PH or better.

I remember people joking on PH relese: "Illusion finally added some of the graphical improvements made by fans almost a year ago to their new game."

It will take some time for me to make proper screenshots (I have not played it for a long time already), but you can watch screenshots from the mod maker himself (they are hidden under spoilers) here:

I mean it doesn't look bad per se, but lighting is immediately noticeably flatter than in PH.
Even if two games use same models and textures, IBL plugin just works better in PH.

That's what the patch improves:

4. Improve FXAA, Sunshaft, DoF, SSAO and color correction curve quality;
5. Fully customizable color correction curve;
6. Enable GPU skinning;
7. Offer more shadow, SSAO, SSR and bloom tweak options;
8. Resizable window mode.
9. Tonemapping, dither, 3DLUT."

If what makes Steam afraid is the highschool setting, since HS and PH doesn't have that, it may be possible for Illusion to bring them on Steam.
However does Illusion really want that? HS is already available to people in the West from other places, same for PH I think (not sure), so Illusion may not see the need to go through the (apparently non-negligible) pain of releasing them on Steam.

I wish PH would be released in similar manner.
Steam version alone being character creator, while official site providing patch for "story" mode.
As for HS, it's already on Fakku so I dunno if Illusion will license it for another platform, which is a shame, since PH functions as monumental expansion to HS with all that backwards compatibilty.

I'm pretty sure PH isn't officially released in the west.
