True Love Story 3 - Sony PlayStation PS2 NTSC-J JAPAN Dating Sim Game Complete

True Love Story is a series of four dating sims (as distinct from the similar but unrelated title True Love). True Love Story and True Love Story 2 were released by ASCII for the PlayStation. True Love Story 3 and True Love Story: Summer Days, and yet... were released by Enterbrain for the PlayStation 2.

The True Love Story land are notable for their geko, or walk-home system. When the player asks a girl to walk home with him from school, the game enters a special conversation mode. In this mode, in addition to the usual long-term, strategic "love meter", the girl you are conversing with has a short-term, tactical "heartthrob meter" representing her level of immediate interest in the conversation with you. The player is given the choice of approximately 30 topics of conversation to choose from, and the heartthrob meter will increase or decrease based on the appropriateness of his selections. High heartthrob can then be leveraged to ask the girl out on a date, or simply to effect a permanent increase in her love meter.

Later True Love Story games added further complexity to this system, such as a "combo" system measuring the number of consecutive good choices of conversation topics. In large part because of this system, True Love Story is one of the most gameplay-rich dating sims.

An OVA based on the True Love Story; Summer Days, and yet... story was released in 2003. It was 3 episodes long.

True Love, as opposed to Fake Love, should be pure and for real. It's unknown how true or far along a virtual video romance delves into the emotion of love but every beholder takes the experience in a unique manner.

In True Love Story 3 the formula of True Love Story remains the same as the tried and true that spawned a couple of Playstation romances and a data collection disc. It's another year in high school and another chance for your onscreen romeo to find love amongst the crop of viable classmates. Work your schedule around a girl's classes and life in order to meet her in opportune occasions. Strike up a friendly chat or read her mind by checking out her facial expressions and replies. Reactions of the girls to your banter may be gauged by watching the ever present heart meter which swells if a girl becomes attracted to you or diminishes if you're a turn off. Success depends on reinforcement. Reinforce the notion that you're a good guy and beat the idea around that you'd be a good match for potential victims of your love. As always, TLS3 and it's ilk are considered niche material stateside, but the army of romance players grows and NCS follows the beat of the drum...
