Except Huniepop IS very easy to make fun of, its a silly self aware porn game. The context is different to a multi kingdom war epic that plays itself straight.

Pretty sure dynasty warriors is self aware too. Historically, Oichi was about the same age as Nobunaga (her brother), and poisoned herself and her children when she learned of his death. She also never fought a battle.

in Samurai warriors, she's a loli who fights with a toy.

This is not the only example of the game begging you not to take it too seriously. [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dynastywarriors/images/1/11/A-oichi.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20091106171707]And yes, I am aware they changed her in later installments.

I don't think being self aware really changes anything though. Grotesque tactics was aware that it was a generic squad-based RPG, and even went as far as to point out all of the recycled enemies and areas. It was still a very meh game.

But hey man, I'm not here to tell you to stop enjoying honey poop. You do you fam.
