/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Is anyone else having trouble saving with Totono? I don't know if it's because my computer's specs are terrible but I've to click a couple of times for something to save. Even worse when I have to load.

>>11144406
I have that problem with Nitro+ game in general.
Their engine is shit.

Finished ef. Looking for something similar.

>>11144406
Nope, no problems.

>>11144408
In what way? You're going to have to be more specific.

Just finished Natsukumo.
Pretty nice with some very good pacing all the way through.
Overall much better than Harukuru even if the ending didn't have the same emotional power.
Reika was awesome

Still steadily progressing through Hoshimemo

>>11144433
Chinami a best

>>11144436
The new voice acting helps a lot

>>11144416
Well, I don't know, really. I just liked that dramatic OSTs and story.

>>11144446
Try Kagerou Touryuuki then.

>>11144433
I should've waited a bit more when choosing a sceene to screenshot

:3

Still no torrent for Akebono no Hikari? The only one I found on nyaa is the Vita version.

>>11144446
Try eden*

>>11144452
But there is no translation. And won't be ever

塵骸魔京. Done with Ignis route. I really liked the "Fuck humanity if I still can have you by my side." ending. It was a really fun ride to see the autist become determined.

Now for the 風のうしろを歩むもの route. I'm hoping for delicious innocent girl and full autist misunderstandings.

>>11144493
what is your obsession with autistic people

>>11144508
Do you mean 4chan in general or me in particular? Because this is the very first time I typed out that word on an online forum. But do go ahead with your baseless assumptions.

playing wanko, I'm new to this whole reading vn's raw thing so I'm starting slow.

http://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/5112

>>11144400
Goddamit Nitro+. What are you doing? I want hardcore fights and chuu2, not some gay meta commentary on waifus.

>>11144541
I may as well ask here. Chuu2 used as a descriptive tag means? Exaggerated power curve? Lots of fights? Magic and stuff? Delusions?

>>11144541
Speaking of which, Totono is a shitty gimmick game that isn't even 10 hours long, with awful writing by Shimokura.
I think it's safe to assume that Nitro+ as a company no longer cares about making anything worthwhile.

>>11144541
You know, i almost thought Totono is a yuri yandere VN.

And I am greatly disappointed it isn't.

The twist of Totono is that once you do a heroine route you are locked on her and any intent to do the other heroine will end with some yandere shit.
That's all.
Awesome gimmick, right?

>>11144552
>gimmick game
So it ended up being a meta commentary on how awfully heartless eroge players are for not sticking to only one girl?

>>11144558
Pretty neat, actually. Interesting at least.

>>11144558
No.

>>11144558
What about the NTR shown in the preview screenshots?

>>11144559
That was just a copy pasta from someone who hasn't played the game.

>>11144561
It's not interesting, just stupid.
It would have been interesting if it would have been released in the 90's or something, now it's just something most writers probably thought as a joke but disregarded for being fucking retarded.
Doesn't help that Shimokura can't writer

>>11144564
Well what is the big twist about?

>>11144573
mugimugi

Good to see watering down one aspect of the game and deciding it's shit when they haven't played it.

>>11144552
>>11144573
Is the writing that bad? Can you give some examples?
I'm not trying to be difficult or anything, just want to see what constitutes as bad writing.

>>11144579
I read about 2 hours of it, the trial.
A trial is made to give you a pretty good idea of what the main product will be about, especially in the case of Totono that is supposed to be only about 10 hours long

>>11144581
>>11144568

>>11144581
There is a trial out, just do it.
It's very obvious, I guess there are people out there who can read that kind of dull writing and be alright though.

Oh well, time to start Gensou no Idea.
It seems to have a good reputation.

Oh Futagoza is out. Add KKK and brava and I'm done this month.

>>11144636
Any estimates about length? Shinites tier or less? I hope less.

Just finished Totono. The game itself was better than I expected it to be after playing through the trial. The trial covers about the half of the first act. The second and third acts are very different in tone. It is worth giving the game a second chance if the trial didn't interest you.

>>11144578
If you really want to ruin the Totono for yourself.
The game is a meta commentary about the actions of the player and how it affects the heroines. Specifically, the one who doesn't get chosen by the player.

>>11144670
That's exactly what was stated above

>>11144670
That's a pretty disappointing spoiler. Definitely not sitting through more of that shit for something like that. That one girl was an annoying bitch though, so if she suffers, it might be fun.

So /jp/ complains about a game being shit when they spoiled themselves on a game they haven't experienced and then proceed to call it shit.
Genius.

>>11144872
Again, most of the people who complain did the trial, what more do you want?

>>11144872
It's just one guy being supremely autistic for god knows what reason. As if anyone gives a shit about the rants of someone who doesn't even know what the fuck he's talking about.

>The trial is shit, so the full game must be exactly the same thing!

>>11144881
Yes, playing a few hours of a trial that hardly covers something makes your opinion perfectly valid.

>>11144897
It's a 2 hours trial of a supposedly 10 hours game.
And it's enough to show that the writing is shit.

>>11144895
Are you seriously comparing this to Subahibi? Seriously?

>>11144895
Except subahibi had cute yuri and actually good writing.

>>11144905
I'm saying that your reasoning is faulty, because there were exceptions to your "The trial is enough to judge the full game" rule.

>>11144660
Was looking for a walkthrough to see what routes existed and stumbled upon (spoilers a few lines down) http://blog.livedoor.jp/meijin_4dan/archives/51827930.html..

Took him 27 hours. According to this and the walkthrough, routes don't exist and it's almost entirely linear, so 27 hours seems a bit long. And of course, take this with a grain of salt and all that.

Finished installing it right now. Giving it a spin, I guess.

>>11144895
Dropped this after an hour or so. Those twins are annoying as fuck. Hope that tsundere bitch gets what's coming to her. Everything about it was just so generic like the author just threw a bunch of tropes found in every visual novel fucking ever. Shit game. 0/10

PS: Yuri is for fags

>>11144913
Subahibi is a huge exception, and even then it had some stuff like the gondola scene that really hinted that something really interesting lurked in the corner in its trial.

>>11144917
>Hope that tsundere bitch gets what's coming to her.
heh

>>11144920
Except that scene isn't relevant and makes zero sense. Totono actually gives you a plothook.

People don't seem to understand that the game first has to establish a typical ordinary setting found in your average eroge.

>>11144929
The plothook is just LOOK WE ARE BEING META with shit writing.

The gondola scene of Subahibi was relevant thematically and the trial as a whole was actually well written.
That's the big difference.

>>11144941
>why is my meta renai game being meta?!!

The meta aspects are really shocking since it came from the writer of Sumaga!!!

>>11144941
Is there a reason why you are so butt devastated because of one specific game? I mean holy fuck, you didn't like the trial, big deal, anything else you want to let us know or do you just like to implode randomly?

>>11144916
It seems to explore the two sides to then have them converge, so I don't mind it, even if it means probably no heterochromia girl route, which makes me sad.

I recently beat VLR, so I need a new VN in my life. Is there anyone that can recommend me an interesting, immersive VN?

>>11144958
Why don't you read it and see for yourself?

Is the route order in Totono fixed? Seems like Miyuki comes first regardless of the choices you made.

>>11144568
>That was just a copy pasta from someone who hasn't played the game.
That was probably me. But what about
>>11144670 The game is a meta commentary about the actions of the player and how it affects the heroines. Specifically, the one who doesn't get chosen by the player. ?

I'm getting mixed messages here. Anyways, how much of >>11055613 did end up being true?

>>11144958
You seem to think I am the only one posting about it or something, I just started in this thread since you or someone else just go"they are talking shit about something they didn't even try" whenever someone criticizes it.
I actually did the trial so that kind of attitude pisses me off, that's all.
Good for you if you liked it.

>>11144973
Goodjob missing the point entirely.

Is there any VN like Majikoi, but just as good?

>>11144995
All of them.

>>11145008
You know what I mean.

>>11145010
No, you didn't even say what you liked about Majikoi so how the fuck is anybody supposed to know what you could be looking for. "Just as good as" when talking about a charage...genius. Go back to whatever board you came from.

>>11145019
Really? There weren't even that many different aspects in Majikoi. Obviously I like the Slice of life/high school/romance part.

>>11144995
The recently released Chushingura supposedly appeals to Majikoi fans, though I personally haven't played it

>>11144995
I'm sure it'd be easy to find something just as overwhelmingly mediocre as Majikoi.

>>11145039
Chusingura is better than majikoi. Of course, since the only people who still care about majikoi are the people who only read translated games, it's a kind of pointless recommendation.

>>11145048
Recommend me something way better then. I personally loved Majikoi.

>>11145050
Chusingura has no english translation yet?

>>11145065
Nobody wants to translate a 忠臣蔵 fanfiction with lots of weird terminology.

>>11145065
top kek. Go ask cudder and his translation tools.

VN's name is Koiken Otome. Did anyone play that one? It looks really sweet.

>>11145072
It's pretty bad. Don't bother

>>11145072
It's a decent read, could probably have been better if they did more with the setting seems to be the general opinion.

>>11145080
Really? Damn. Why? I really liked the character in the pic.

>>11145073
Top kek? So there are even retards on this board, huh?

>>11145065
It's been like a month, dude.
You're looking at another couple of years, minimum.

>>11144995
Tsujidou

>>11145072
The contrast between the terribly drawn face and the rest of the picture is brutal.

>>11145097
You need to learn how to take it easy. The /jp/ way.

>>11145081
That and with others such as Kamikaze Explorer, but people shouldn't really expect this sort of game to do much with the settings. They are moege with interesting settings and not scenarioge or whatever with lots of moe, after all. The focus is on the girls and not some amazing plot.

Not that I'm complaning or anything. There's a place for every kind of game.

>>11145109
So is it normal around here that everyone is saging?

>>11142051
Oh~
So it's better if I look for a Sanarara R download instead, right?
I mean, Is still the first game's content with a extra added, right?

>>11145125
As far as I know, yes, but I haven't actually played the first game.

>>11145125
And better resolution I think, so yeah, R is the way to go.

>>11145072
its pretty bad,really.trust me its not worth of playing but if you still want to play feel free.

>>11145131
>>11145132
Thank you anons, downloading ASAP.

>>11145080
>>11145149
What exactly was your complaints about it?

>>11145050
They keep releasing Majikoi because of western fans, right

>>11145169
Doubtful

White pigs pirate everything

>>11145169
Majikoi is very popular in Japan and sells like hotcakes

>>11145218
hotcakes are suck

>>11145218
Doesn't a game cost like $100 there? I mean I heard they buy the game, rush it asap and return it asap so they can get their money back or something.

>>11145158
Not the guy you're talking to but the prologue and OP is misleading. The battles are underwhelming and they're scarce. The setting/premise is underused.
Basically the game is just another cookie cutter moege.

Well if you probably went into the game not expecting chuuni stuff you'll probably enjoy it.

>>11145175
>>11145218
(He was being sarcastic and pointing out how stupid anon sounded)

>>11145063

This is /jp/. We're just here to dislike things, especially those that are popular. You'll notice vocal nerdfaggots who criticize never offer a better alternative. It's how you detect the hipster in his natural habitat.

>>11145118

Yes. Having a thread on the first page means it's popular and loses it's coolness. This is jp basics.

>>11144995
if you liked majikoi im sure you will love Chushingura or Tsujidou too.

why is this thread so full of shitposting nowadays

>>11145267
People aren't reading VNs, that's why.

>>11145267
/a/ started learning Japanese collectively around a year ago. I'd assume that be the reason.

>>11145272
I can only imagine how that looks like. "OH TOP LEL THE QUALITY CONTROL OF THIS GROUP!! "BOKU" MEANS ME, NOT MY!!".

how is Gensou no Idea? anyone played?

>>11145315
I started it, Naru and her chuuni are a party.

>>11145320
the art seems great but i really hate the multi protag thing so its a no for me.

>>11145340
It's linear, you get a MC doing shit on his side and the other doing shit on his side after that.
It's an efficient way to explore a setting.

>>11145344
does both of them fuck some heroine ? its an important point for me.

>>11144970
Yes.

>>11145362
Yes, they should both have their own set of girls.

>>11145366
well if they have different set of girls i guess i can deal with it,thank you i will start it tomorrow.

>>11145279
I think it would be something like:

>2013
>Not having a waifu that uses 妾
MY SIDES

>>11145272
>>11145279
>>11145390

It's pretty difficult and downright unreasonable to prove any correlation between board affiliation and retardation. Any board sucks or is wonderful however you choose to look at it.

But hey, whatever makes you feel better about yourselves.

>>11145410

While i partly agree with you, i do think there are terrible abominations like r9k where retards abound.

>>11145410
Nobody really takes that seriously.

Some boards could get better though. Ever been to /g/? There's always a clusterfuck and you can't tell if they're just spouting memes or really believe the bullshit. /jp/ is rather unified and fun to post in because if some asshole posts "lol raymoo miko slut xD" it's an instant fuck off.

>>11145411
What's r9k's story? Never been there.

>>11145416
Virgin self-proclaimed nice guys that hate all women.

I heard they got taken over by feminists but I don't know.

>>11145421
I heard they have a similar opinion to /fit/ when it comes to women, but I was never in either so I can't really tell.

But if you say is true without accounting the feminist thing, /adv/ is it's mortal enemy.

>>11145410
Relax, I'm just joking around.
I doubt anyone here can honestly say that /a/ is any more retarded than /jp/. It's just that there's this history between us and so it's fun to take friendly jabs at them every now and then.

>>11145421

You're wrong. That's the thing with r9k, they don't hate women. They desire them and are so pathetic that they're basing their entire happiness around them. They resent them for the most childish reasons. A festival of whining and cancer.

/pol/ are the true women haters, they know what's up.

>>11145440
I stand corrected then. But let's stop going off-topic now.

Finished 魔導書の司書 - had hoped for some fun writing like 巨乳ファンタジー (Kyonyuu Fantasy) even as nukige. Unfortunately it wasn't the case and not really much to say. Art is quite decent and 6-10 scenes for each of the five heroines. If Kyonyuu Fantasy 2's writing is a 10, then this would be a 6.

>>11144428
I just finished Rine's route, (so I'm halfway through?), and I'm really glad to hear that the pacing is good to the very end. Sumikko has made two awesome games now. I can't wait to see their next.

>>11145551
I honestly felt it halted a bit during Kashima's route, your next route. It's gravity related, string theory, relativity and the like infodumps throughout and can get a bit tiring.
It improves again after finishing so it's a necessary evil since they are relevant.

>>11145564
Sounds like it could be a pretty interesting infodump though. I don't know much about that stuff to be honest.

It's time to play.

>>11145610
I was more keen on Rine's infodumps on environment and subspecies.
Biology is super interesting.

Finished VenusBlood Abyss. Did the Chaos route like >>11131034 suggested. I don't think I've enjoyed gameplay as much in eroge since Sengoku Rance and Baldr Sky. Did also the 'Defend only' mode on very hard (thank god for the broken bonus units). Started another playthrough on Dragoon difficulty but the game decided to crash when I hadn't saved for a while.

Now I'm not sure if I want to start it again to do law route or move straight to playing Frontier. I've heard Frontier is even better so I'm really tempted to start it.

>>11145618
Education from Japanese porn games -- this shit making me smart.

>>11145626
Loliges are the future of education, a cute face and tiny body make everything easier.

what the hell is nitro thinking???

in the title for their new game that put overseas is punishment death!!!

what assholes!

>>11145631
This series has always bothered me am I supposed to play starting for the first one or does it not matter?

>>11145730
Can you please rephrase that? I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

>>11145739
Playing nitro games overseas is now punishable by death.

Guess I will download that Nitro+ game. Hasn't been a good VN for months. Hopefully this is the best VN ever.

>>11145736
I think you can jump in wherever you want, provided you keep in mind the different kinds of gameplay (i.e. don't play Abyss if you want territory conquest etc.)

>>11145730

What? Can we get some details or a link on this?

>>11145875
>>11145730
I just opened the game one more time to check but I didn't see anything of the sort anywhere. Not even a "For Japan only" mentioned anywhere.

Just finished the amairo trial. Looks like it'll just be full of short-lived cliched drama and fun, which is great in its own way. Maybe its been too long since I played a pure moege, but the soundtrack and characters really drew me in and I'm keen for the full version.
Guess I'll go finish harukuru now.

The trial of Otome Riron has just been released
http://www.project-navel.com/otomeriron/trial.html

>>11145642
I think I could learn almost anything, pretty easily, if I was being taught by a cute loli on my computer screen.

>>11145952
I'm not even done with the first game yet.

>>11145952
i'm actually waiting for the voice patch before I start the second game, too good to miss

Question: Fate/hollow ataraxia's blurb says it begins "with all his friends, from the 5th Holy Grail War." So which Fate/stay night ending is it based off of?

Wow, Miyuki is an insufferable bitch. I hope she gets better later on.

>>11146342
The lost one

>>11146345
Hopefully that wasn't a spoiler, but thanks!

Oh god, why is she acting so fucking weird all of the sudden? She didn't seem like the nutty type.

Guess it's time to hightail it out of VNG for a while while I catch up with my backlog and start Totono.

>>11146446

Where do I find the download for it?

school days HQ again for me after a year-long hiatus. does anyone know what the spin-offs are?

>>11146351
Honestly, so far Shinichi is so fucking beta it hurts, I don't blame her for being a cunt.

>>11144400
Going through Motoka's route in Yosuga no Sora, and the coda section of White Album 2.

I'm looking for something lighthearted to balance it out though. Anybody know a decent comedy VN? Last one I really enjoyed was Altered Fable

So I'm stuck at the end of Totono where you have to input a code that's probably somewhere on the package or tokuten.

Someone help me out here.

That sure is one erotic half of a face.
Thanks Atelier Kaguya.

>>11146604
id give you mine but i dont want it to like expire out or whatever

>>11146666
Well okay. Not sure how it could "expire" though, it's not like you need to connect to the internet.

Anyway, this was the most meta piece of entertainment of all time, kind of have to respect that. Also, that moment when the last act starts was pretty damn "holy shit".

>>11146718
did the chinese uploader not include this code?

>>11146732
I got the girlcelly torrent and I don't see a code.

>>11144541
Hi Moogy,

>>11144892
>It's just one guy being supremely autistic for god knows what reason.

I'm sure it's just someone pasting Moogy's comments, since he definitely made the 'waaahhh gay waifus waaah where's my chuuni' comment.

>>11146604
Not sure if this is keyed to a specific copy or not, but you can try mine. 25403221

>>11146977
moogy is definitely a huge chuuni, but that doesnt mean hes the only one

>>11147296
This worked, you're awesome.
I still chose Miyuki in the end

So yeah, pretty interesting game.

How long are Baldr sky dive 1 and 2 together compared to Muramasa? VNDB just says >50 for all of them.

>>11147692
baldr sky is in total 4.61 MB and muramasa is 2.86 MB

>>11147692
I clocked around 100 hours, getting every ending before moving on to the next route and enough survival to unlock the extras
it honestly depends on your playstyle, how you deal with the endings and how much time you waste coming up with combos and shit

any yandere games recently other than the one in the OP?

also, any good eroge music to come out of this lately? Last one that I actually liked is this, and it's two years ago:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWx_PuYuHlE

>>11146351
Does the dialogues feel autistic on purpose? Because holy fuck

I've a quick question about Totono, if someone wouldn't mind answering.

I believed I was on Aoi's route, and I got to the part where Shinichi tries to look after her instead of going to Miyuki at the batting center. I picked ビリビリする and Aoi disappeared. I thought I was setting myself up for a bad end so I read on, but Miyuki gave Shinichi tickets to see her play. I know Totono can lock you into a route making you unable to play the other, so just checking, but I'm not on Miyuki's route right? I feel like this may be still part of the common route and Aoi may pop up at some point, but I'm not too sure.

>>11147768
Spoke too soon, disregard this.

>>11147909
that butt

>>11147768
Wait, Aoi did show up again but if you picked the choice more in line with her route, you get a bad end. Pick the other, the game progresses and Shinichi confesses to Miyuki. I'd like to think this is part of the common route, but it seems too Miyuki specific. Even stranger since all the choices I made up until this point were Aoi related.

>>11147926
There is a fixed "route" -order. You always end up with Miyuki first.

finished the new KKK. not too much new content but I still feel like this is worth my money.
really like the two stories in the bonus section.

>>11147933
Alright, cool.

I heard Totono locked you into one route rendering you unable to play the other, though? Guess that was just a silly rumor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHrNOxcT1lc#at=28

who is hyped for this one

>>11147949
where did you order it from? amazon?
I was thinking about getting it but most of the sites I use for cheap importing all have the vita version but not the pc one

>>11148013
yeah amazon

How do I learn kanji, /jp/?
When learning your first kanji on KD it also gives you vocab with kanji you don't know. How can I learn my vocab and kanji efficiently without being overwhelming?

>>11148067
This thread is for discussing VNs and eroge.

>>11148070
I'll make another thread then ;-)

>>11144549
The stupid term means that which a child would enjoy seeing. Not really sure why it's being used so much recently.

>>11148083
Blame Moogy and his minions.

>>11145132
But it's shorter in height and 16:9. That means I have to letterbox it to 4:3, because FUCK playing windowed or with scaling blur on an LCD.
>It includes new heroine and extra scenarios from the fandiscs.
Worth it?

>>11148093
>>11148083
It was used like this in Japan well before anyone in the west did.

>>11146607
Where is this from?

Chuuni is so terribly embarrassing to read through, I don't know how idiots like Moogy can masturbate furiously to that shit. Things like his 'gay waifus' and hating romance comments say a lot about him and the people who lap up chuuni, really.

>>11148104
Not really sure why it's being used so much 'in English' recently. Better?

>>11148113
Generalizing shit sure is cool, right. Personally I think someone who is "embarrassed" by a fiction to be far more retarded.

And why do you fuckers obsess so much over moogy, this isn't /vg/ or something, knowing japanese here isn't super special.

>>11148116
Chuu2koi is partially to blame.

>>11148113
Moogy is a dumbass, but there's no need to generalize.

Different strokes for different folks. If you enjoy all strokes, even better.

>>11148119
I'm not obsessing over him, but it's ridiculous to form a concrete opinion about something without giving it a chance. And yeah, generalizing was sort of stupid. No offense meant to fans of chuuni in general, all offense meant to moogy.

>>11148130
Stop caring about him, he doesn't even post here

>>11148119
I think it's because that people worship him in some english-only groups that some people on /jp/ obsess over how much they dislike him. And a lot of other people just view him as a joke.

>>11148109
Prestar

>>11148133
Moogy does probably post here as Anon, or there just happens to be another guy who also has the same all-time favorite eroge heroine. And as far as I'm aware there really aren't that many English message boards focused around discussing untranslated stuff, so it wouldn't be surprising if he also frequented this thread.

But geeez, I sure do love talking about visual novels.

>>11148215
As far as hyping Itsusora and Konome I'm pretty sure that was me and I'm definitely not moogy.
He doesn't seem to be the type who would post without a trip anyways.

>>11148242
I'm pretty sure he posts in /vg/ without a trip all the time.

i dont dislike moogy but his fanboys are annoying as hell, like they'll die if they dont give credit to moogy for everything

Play this now, spoilerific OP video as usual so it's a bit of downer. Didn't go far in the trial so it's still new for me on how it's going to play out.

>>11148242
>I'm definitely not moogy.
Sure thing, moogy.

Oh god, playing VNs with a controller from bed is so awesome. Why didn't I do this earlier? Joytokey is awesome.

the writing style of TOTONO is really making sleepy... zzz will things get better?

How similar is the writing in demonbane to the writing in drakoi? I haven't really read any haganeya before, but I decided to read just now drakoi and I'm really enjoying the writing in it and now I'm curious about the other stuff he wrote.

>>11148441
Sillier I guess. Still pretty will written but drakoi is more condensed whereas demobane can get really repetitive at times, still really fun to read.

Hey /jp/. Anon that can't even into japanese here.

What's a good first vn for someone with shit-tier japanese reading skills? Someone recommended eden* to me, but my japanese sucks too much to read that at a pace faster than ten minutes a sentence.

>>11148458
>ten minutes a sentence
You need to study more first then, nerd.

>>11148461
Studying vocabulary and grammar without seeing them in context isn't much fun, anon.

>>11148468
If you need practice, you really should start with easy things like manga or games that aren't made for 18+ audiences.

>>11148468
Neither is taking 10 minutes on a sentence. I'd recommend browsing Japanese websites instead to start. Don't be afraid to use dictionaries.

>>11148470
Any suggestions for easy things to read? Or should I take this to a different thread?

>>11148475
You should probably take it to another thread, but I'll say that as far as games are concerned, try the 3d zelda games.

>>11148458
Reading sentences will take forever if you decide to take the "jump straight into a game and grind chicken scratches from there)" method.

You could try Hooksoft or SMEE (incidentally, Fureraba came out a few days ago) games or Kimi e Okuru, Sora no Hana (maybe Midori no Umi too, since it's from the same company, but I haven't played that). It doesn't get any easier than that. eden* is still on the easy side during the slice-of-life sections, though it doesn't really get that much harder in other places.

>>11148470
With PC games you can use ITH and TA to look up word definitions very quickly though, which I think would be a lot more convenient and easier as long as you don't rely too much on it since doing so will cripple you in the long run.

>>11148475
Try /a/'s thing I guess. >>>/a/88879151
>>11148479
Not necessarily. As long as you actually study it instead of just looking EVERYTHING up, there's no real issue. In fact I'd say it helps.

>>11148458
I can read it for you if you get under my desk and suck my cock.

Take it to the archive, since that question gets asked every thread.

Just wait until you start Miyuki's route, it'll be like you took a sedative.

The writing in Gensou no Idea is so weird.
I don't even know if I would call it bad, just weird.
At least the story seems interesting? I wonder how weird the fights are going to be.

>>11149024
Yeah, that was my impression too, it goes here and there, but I find it fun to read for that reason.
At least it isn't boring and the pacing isn't bad.

Finished Natsukumo. Pretty awesome game, much better than Harukuru but for the next game Watanabe seriously needs to go easy with the troll science, it was even more messy than in Harukuru.
And Reika was an amazing villain, every time she got screentime shit got real. Made up for the meh heroines.

What's a good VN with a decent harem route?

>>11144400

Hey OP what is that VN? I am super new to VN - I have the guides and all that already looking and started playing 1. But This one looks interesting?

And before anyone says reverse image search: I did, and know this already. However for that picture it linked back to this thread, and a random site that using translation software doesn't give me any clue as to what this title is called.
Thank you in advance, I'm watching this thread with interest!

>>11149232
Sorry, that VN is for expert eroge players only. I recommend looking into a more entry level one like Baldr Sky.

Miyuki is a good loser.

Aoi's route so far is good, I can't wait for the ネトラレ

>>11149232

>Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi

I guess it's that.

>>11149250
>Miyuki is a good loser.
uh huh

>>11149300
I jumped the gun there.

Miyuki is a very bad loser. She didn't have to go that far

>>11148013
use a proxy and get it cheaper than you would on amazon

i reccomend goodyjapan

What's the name of that one VN where they guy finds a massive subterranean society of pig-men who raise and slughter humans like cattle? It was really messed up.

>>11149262

Thanks a bunch, so the translation was only slightly off, though I wasn't sure. Thanks.

>>11151136
it really is too advanced for someone who cant even translate the title of a game

>>11151192
>miyuki is the biggest bitch ever holy fuck
At first she is, and then she becomes nice. She is a really good girl that support Shinichi in anything he does.

Soo hmmm Misuzu have H-scenes??

>>11151415

I dunno what game that is, but it's from Key so the H-Scenes are either non-existient or terrible.

yeah I know, but I like to destroy the purity of characters

>>11151415
Yes.

>>11151424
How can you not even know Air? I swear to god, these kids who don't know shit about the medium but like to pretend they do by parroting what they've read on the internet.

>>11151424
There is joy in jerking it to bad ero.

>>11151415
Yes. Literally among the worst.

The protagonist of Totono is quite an annoying faggot. Thank god for Aoi and Miyuki being there to stir things up.

>>11152205
strangely enough, yutarou is the only character that I like so far

I just just can't get into Totono, Aoi is the worst denpa character I've ever seen and Miyuki is really irritating

>>11152409
The game doesn't really annoy me as much. People dissed the writing style but I find it easy to read since it doesn't drag out the narration scene too much, also all the scenes are relevant to the plot so it feels more engaging.

I don't think I ever wasted a thought on whether I like or don't like the characters in Totono. The characters and their personalities are basically completely irrelevant for the kind of weird game this is.

村正で打ち立てた壁を軽々と越えてしまった怪作
Oh egs

>>11152487
The game consists of infinite interactions with the heroines, how are the personalities irrelevant?
Just having an idea doesn't make a story

>>11152701
is that for totono?

>>11152754
Because only the first 2-3 hours play out like a normal eroge and you can finish the game in one long reading session, so to me it feels kind of pointless to contemplate how Miyuki is a bitch or how Aoi is retarded when all of that is turned meaningless within the time-span of a couple of hours anyway.

>>11152862
What's the point of having characters if they don't actually matter?

>>11152876
It's META

>>11152876
That's a weird question. Characters almost always matter as a vehicle to drive a story forward (can't really tell a compelling story about the adventures of a non-sentient brick) but depending on the plot they don't need to be especially relevant for anything.

>>11144400
Is she saying "Isn't there an even cg with the wind?"?

>>11152914
You're cute.

That birthday scene in Totono is just brutal. I don't even know why Yuutarou even agrees to be a part of that clusterfuck.

>>11152919
He's a good friend, makes sense for him to be there. Not sure how they convinced Haru to show up though.

>>11152919
I reached the first birthday scene and it's gotten so terribly dull without Aoi and her nonsense. Even though Shinichi and Miyuki is what their world is pushing for, there's something missing and even Shinichi can tell. I basically skipped through all of Miyuki's h-scene too so I hope there wasn't anything relevant there. The only thing of note I got from the entire scene was Miyuki saying "もし生まれ変わっても, 忘れない", which is pretty telling considering the whole meta aspect. I'm guessing the 'brutal' birthday scene you're talking about ties into her saying that?

>>11152938
Nah it's in Aoi's route.
Interestingly enough, if you replay the game and get to that part again, Miyuki acknowledges that they have sex before in the loop. The game is so meta it hurts.

MIYUKI IS SUCH A FUCKING BITCH!!! OMG I ALMOST PUNCH THE SCREEN.

Aoi isn't much better, she is one of the laziest designed denpa character I've seen.

How can I not love Miyuki after that end? Scared the shit outta me, especially when the game just shuts down suddenly.

on a serious note, offered it on AB, but is it worth a shot? Quite busy with Zutto Sukishite, not quite into yandere, that's why I ask before I'd even try.

still waiting for grisaia

>>11153224
She just left when I told her to.

>>11153234
Already said yesterday, Herkz is a lazy cunt, don't expect it until the end of the month, this is a statement DxS made. Everything is done, all waiting for Herkz.

oh it worked now, NVM

>>11153224
Jesus, whose house is that?

Reading Demonbane and it's pretty so-so so far.

>>11153318
I think it's pretty fun.

So, Dies Irae. Acta est Fabula or Amantes Amentes

>>11151478
>How can you not even know Air?

Maybe because I don't like nor care for Key games?

>by parroting what they've read on the internet.

Or maybe because I've read One. Stop being angry just because someone doesn't like your beloved company.

>>11153385
Amantes Amentes, it's the most complete one.

>>11153318
It stays mediocre throughout. I only completed the book's route and half of the rich girl's route before getting bored, it was a mistake to do the best route first....

Was able to reach herkz, just a few minutes ago.
He verified already what DxS said, probably end of the month for Grisaia no Kajitsu.
Take it easy.

>>11153401

Alright, that settles it, I wasn't really sure of the exact differences so I was doubting. Amantes Amentes it is. Thanks

I've been re-reading Umineko since I stopped keeping up when Episode 6 was translated. I finished Episode 4 again today and god fucking damn I love this VN. 10/10. Too bad about the anime.

You could have prevented this.

I want EOPs to leave.

So I can only stay here if I am an amateur? But why

so really, what exactly is totono trying to say?
finished aoi's route, and alI I felt was that shimokura just fucking trolled me.

>>11153589
Go back eating Key-shit, fagenabler.
>N-no, tits, p-please, my virgindick cannot handle this

Oh well, I've finished Gekkou, Sumaga and Axanael, guess I can do Totono too.

It's been a while, but I don't remember this in the PC version of Narcissu.
Did they add scenes for the PSP? Or just the third game in general?

>>11153665
Don't bully Shimokura

>>11153677
Not my fault if he can't write

>>11153680
Japan disagrees. Gaijin scum like you simply can't understand.

>>11153621
So you picked Aoi at the end? wtf what kind of monster would do that.

>>11153685
You mean stema-fags disagree.
Most of the 90+ reviews only rated one game
This guy for example >>11152701

2ch in general doesn't seem to care about it

>>11153686
>picking the intolerable bitch over the passable denpa girl

>>11153691
Don't quote.

>>11153689
>I don't like the game so the votes must be fake!!

Yeah, whatever faggot. Next thing you'll tell me Nitro+ invaded VNDB and twitter too. Stay deluded.

>>11153702
Since when did VNDB scores matter for anything?

>>11153702
Votes from people who only rated it are obviously fake, yeah. It's not like it started with Totono.
And who the fuck care about vndb or twitter?

>>11153708
There are plenty of votes with more than one rating, sperg.

>>11153714
Yeah and most of them gave it a 70-80, mostly praising the idea/concept

>>11153717
but how was the porn

the porn is very important in a porn game

Finally finished Muramasa.

I don't know what to say, so much shit happened. What the fuck. I guess it's a fitting ending, though.

Oh yeah, rating aggregate site wars. Have fun you faggots.

This route was so perfect, utterly loved it, incredibly good pacing to boot, it was never boring. Should have finished it yesterday when I did chapter 9, thought I had 3 chapters left instead of 2, but it was so sweet and well done and Tonoko a fantastic heroine with great chemistry with Tsukasa in a romantic way, something only Nire had managed so far successfully.
Only Shino to finish, I don't expect it to be as good, but I hope it delivers.

>>11153789
That was a blast from the past. Loved that game.

Can't progress in Totono. Ending up with Miyuki all the time. It was said in this thread that you end up with her first, however I still end up getting her ending on 2nd play after making Aoi related choices.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

>>11153448
Ruri's route is easily the shittiest one since it's a rehash of Al's for most of it and even if I enjoyed hers once it picked up that doesn't mean I want to read it again immediately after finishing. It's an understandable choice to make them start out the same, but that doesn't mean it was a good one.

Try Leica's route if you ever get bored enough to pick it up again, Anon!

>>11153398
>Maybe because I don't like nor care for Key games?

It's one of the most influential eroge. You should at least be able to recognize it if you had a working knowledge of the medium's roots.

>Or maybe because I've read One. Stop being angry just because someone doesn't like your beloved company.

Playing one game created by staff from the company before they were even the company does not give you enough knowledge about the brand to make sweeping generalizations.

Let me make sure I have this right:

To unlock the Realta Nua epilogue for the Fate route in Fate/stay night, I have to get all five endings, plus all forty bad endings, and then play through Fate again.

Is this correct?
