/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Started LovePlus+ and went for Rinko just because this CG remotely reminded me of SubaHibi's Tomosane. I also named myself Takuji and chose to use 僕 for "I".

Finished the "get a girl in 100 days" last evening and fiddled around a bit after that before going to sleep. I'm just wondering, do I miss any content if I play in skip mode, such as birthdays, holidays etc.? I really don't have time nor the resolution to date her in real time and wait hours or days for shit to happen. Also wondering what exactly did LovePlus+ add to the original?

My impressions on it so far are rather mixed. It's a nifty little game with likeable heroines, yet dominated tedious grindfest "gameplay". It's not bad, but I'm wondering why it's so damn popular in Japan. It looks and plays like a poor man's dating sim without any ero, though on a portable device. Is it supposed to be a babby's first dating sim or is there something I'm missing?

Also got my little brother hooked into 999 after failing with Chaos;Head, seeing that something with more gameplay would perhaps interest him more.
He's a lot better at speculation than I was. I mean, he figured out that 9th man was offed for his bracelet, Ace is "Snake's" killer and also exclaimed "maybe there is an ending where everyone dies by his hand" before even getting the sub ending. All that without spoiling or completing the game even once and from the looks of it he's heading for the Axe Ending right now.
