/jp/ - Otaku Culture

ಠ_ಠ

Currently reading through Drapeko!
The game is kind of a one-trick pony with its humor but the way it progresses like a boardgame makes it strangely addicting.

>>11200500
Fucking whores, they could at least try.

is there any proper dating sim released recently?

>>11200512
Lovelycation 2 but it hardly has proper dating sim gameplay

>>11200512
LxC 2 though it's not a "proper" dating sim. Genre has been dead for more than a decade, move the fuck on.

>>11200521
>>11200522

>genre has been dead for more than a decade

wonder why? i think it's better than the VN format as it involves the player more

>>11200522

>genre has been dead for more than a decade

what about love plus?

>>11200526
so do the various ero rpgs/srpgs/gimmicky gameplay games
a game that makes you play 20-30 hours before ending right at the confession scene in today's market is pretty much outdated (unless you splurge your budget on appealing art etc like Amagami)

>>11200526
>wonder why?
Because people realized they are a pain in the ass to play.

That was a good finale for the series

>>11200544
Sakuya was so adorable.

>>11200544
do you need to finish the game to unlock the extra stories? As much as I liked it I'm not sure I want to read it all over again, I might get a save state

>>11200512
Lovely Cation 2 perhaps? At least it dubs itself one but what I played it was just "get skill X to level Y (or buy items A and B) by story event Z" rather than regular stat leveling, schedule making or any that sort of stuff. Miss a scene? Reload and replay with a walkthrough. No free mode or anything similar.

At least the heroines were really adorable so guess I shouldn't be complaining.

>>11200528
>love plus?
Way too much grinding. Even after getting to proper 'dating' part you actually see even less heroine interaction than before. After each date all your stats reset back to zero and you have to grind one or two in-game weeks to get them back up. The dates themselves are very short, extremely similar to each other and the touch screen gimmick gets boring very quickly.

In real time mode you're limited to one "planned date" a week, plus one shorter date each day. You don't have to personally grind for the stats, but on the other hand the game pretty much tells you to not god damn play it.

I don't really understand how it ever got popular in the first place.

>>11200553
why do they all fucking look the same

I've already read and had fun with F/SN, Kamidori, Little Busters, Rance, Recettear and Majikoi. So I rather enjoy more gameplay-oriented VNs.

Rec me something related /jp/

>>11200563
Favorite's art, I love it even if all their heroines look similar.

>>11200566

Baldr Sky.

>>11200566
>gameplay-oriented VNs
Baldr series: 2D mecha action
Princess Witches: Turn based battles
Twinkle Crusaders: (sort of) Turn based battles. Gameplay wise the fan disc is much better.
Gyakuten Saiban series: Point&click murder mystery
Caucasus: Point&click murder mystery
Dangan Ronpa series: Point&click murder mystery + reaction time based mini-games (f.ex. rhythm game, obstacle racing, shooting)
Utawarerumono: Turn based RPG
999: Point&click escape-the-room puzzles
Daiteikoku: kusogame

>>11200628
btw does 99 has skip mode in this game? there's only 1 save file and it's driving me crazy

>>11200638
I think there was a command for skipping already read text, though sadly you couldn't skip any of the completed puzzles.

Why Master isn't voiced in SubaHibi?

>>11200512
Forgot to mention Kanotsuku2. Came out quite a while ago but the latest add-on got released this January.

It doesn't have much in terms of ichaicha or any characterization since it's 'customize your own girlfriend' type of nukige similar to their earlier titles, but contains pleeeeenty of optional NTR, SM and other cool fetishes if you're into those. From other people's comments back then it seems many of the events play out quite differently depending on your girl's current state, f.ex. there's one NTR scene during the park date where she gets fingered and licked by another couple if she's a virgin, and if not apparently she gets fucked in the ass. Imagine all the replay value!
Played it during initial release and planning to give it another proper playthrough some day since they added lots of new stuff, including onee-san personality / voice.

For the downsides the soundtrack is pretty bad and graphics are also a bit ehhh but I assume that sort of comes with the gigantic amount of different scenes drawn with different clothing.
I really wish Kiss made a new dating sim similar to Kanotsuku 2, but using their CM3D engine instead. That game looked pretty darn gorgeous for 3D and was also surprisingly well optimized.

>>11200602
>>11200628

>>11200566 here. Thanks for the recs anons.

im playing kamidori hoping to finish it this time
btw, why are you guys sage-ing?

>>11200773
It would be nice if there were more of these type of games with ichaicha.
There are plenty of other better things to fap to than Kanotsuku.

>>11200771
Because they were saving up their voiced male count for Himanatsu.

>>11200773
The first game is better. That was actually a waifu simulator.
2 is just a glorified H-scene simulator.

I really like how in the first game you started from strangers to friends to finally lovers (or sexfriends if you messed up). And this happens within a span of 6 months in-game. Meanwhile in 2 you fuck the custom heroine on the first day(!) of meeting her.

Also the various customization options actually affect the heroine's personality in 1. For instance if you put morning in her dislikes option, she tends to get late during dates. If you put rain, she'll complain and/or not come if its raining. If you messed up the sim city part, ruffians can butt in and ruin your date. The second game lack this altogether.

Finally, you have a group of friends in the first game. You hang out together on weekends and stuff, and they also have mini events focused on them. Compare that to the second game where it's literally just you and the heroine.

These things adds together and make the game world actually feel alive. In this respect, Custom Reido 4 feels more of an actual sequel of Kanotsuku than Kanotsuku 2.

>>11200918
That sounds pretty rad.
I actually had Custom Reido 4 on my PC months ago before losing everything to hard drive wipe and didn't get to play it yet. Might redownload it and Kanotsuku1 while I'm at it.

>Finally, you have a group of friends in the first game. You hang out together on weekends and stuff, and they also have mini events focused on them. Compare that to the second game where it's literally just you and the heroine.
This was actually also one of my peeves. Seeing as the protagonist often hung around the love club members but the girlfriend didn't really interact with any of the other characters before really late I jokingly made up a story in my head about how she's actually the protagonist's hallucination of his dead childhood friend and the other characters are just playing along in order not to upset him.

Finished Haruka ni Aogi, Shino's route was fantastic and I really liked how it handled Tsukasa compared to the other routes.
The epilogue and the song in it were god-tier, almost cried during it.
The game all in all was really good, even if a couple of the routes were quite weak. My only complaint is that, considering the length, it needed a bigger OST, there were like 20 tracks and the game is quite huge, but that's it for negatives.

Now back to daitoshokan or KKK sidestories I guess.

>>11201284
dat nice tight ass

>>11201284
Nice that you liked it, it's pretty much one of my favorite of his genre.

Too bad Takehaya went from this to shit like Okiba ga nai

>>11201345
Speaking of which, did anyone play the trial for 星逢のプリズムギア?

>>11200544
Hahaha
Every time I see this CG I start laughing.
Habaki and Rindou are the best couple in the entire series. I love the chemistry between those two.

>>11201739
My brethren.

You really should pay closer attention to the threads though since it's been brought up several times already.

>>11201923
Be less of a faggot and just say what you're talking about. You can't expect people to be able to recognize every VN just by screenshot.

>>11202350
I expect people to recognize light VNs from how much they're hyped here, at the very least.

>>11202362
>>11202350

Both of you English-only faggots get the FUCK out.

>>11202365
>English-only faggot
Speak for yourself. I'm sorry I'm not the type for Masada chuu2 works.

>>11202374

Sorry kiddo, projection won't save you. Get out of this thread. No - this board.

>>11202374
dont mind him,that retard saying "get the fuck out" everyone for some god know reasons.it seems he thinks he is the master of the thread.

Are there any yakuza VNs?

I want to be a delinquent.

>>11202397
The protagonist in Daiakuji is part of a family of yakuza.

I'm starting Fate/hollow ataraxia. Whee.

How much will the untranslated 3% inhibit me?

>>11202466
Holy fucking ass, this beginning is scaring the shit out of me.

Talking about Masada, finished chapter 10 of Rea route. Holy fucking shit what is going on this is insanity.

Faust Finale was incredibly awesome. This was so chuuni the rest of the game fades away in comparison. Rea's still kind of pissing me off but hey.

Can't wait to finish this.

>>11202536
Rea is a good girl, I always liked Rusalka more but Rea really grows on you.

>>11202552
Rea became one of my favorite when I started listening to the drama cds, sound drama and others, she is awesome there
And of course her role in KKK really elevates her

>>11202536
Just a recommendation, do the "Rea" end first and the new AA ending last

>>11202567
I really like her joke drama CD personality, her denpaness is huge part of her appeal. But in dies irae alone, Russie Rus Rus was best girl and I'm glad she properly got some shit to pander to me.

>>11202580
Isn't it obligated? Like, the choice that comes and doesn't even alter dialogue doesn't appear till you've done the first ending.
It'd spoil a ton of things otherwise.

>>11202552
I'll admit I like her more already than I did in the beginning of this route, and the scene in that picture helped with that quite a lot. I'll see how I feel about her when this all ends. And I agree, Rusalka really grew on me in this route.

>>11202580
Alright, I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip.

>>11202602
And then I just read that so it should all be fine. With the length of this route it'll take me a day or 2 to finish reading this anyway.

Excuse me for the slightly off-topic question:

Reading Tototo, my first non-translated VN so I don't know much but I noticed this. Isn't it 出て行った?

>>11202875
Shimokura = master of 日本語

>>11202914

I'm going to start Chuning Lover. Can someone tell me what the three sp patches do?

>>11203078
one of them adds one side character route if i remember correctly,im not sure other 2.well its not that great game anyway just install the one which adds route then play.

Playing Kara no Shoujo and I didn't expect Orihime to be such a bitch

played through school days once a while ago
decided to give it another run and go for sekai, and now i feel like an asshole for neglecting kotonoha
anyone ever feel this way over a vn?

Been playing throug Cripple sim since i was bored
It's ok so far

>>11203990

>>11202914
It's Tototo not Totono

>>11202580
>>11202602
...there are two endings for Rea's route?
Just checked the walkthrough and seems I got the one with the long ass epilogue that came from 真実を求めいたのか choice. That branch definitely came up on my first playthrough.

>>11200485
Just finished arterial of origins, was alright. Feel like i missed a lot with my shitty Japanese though. Card game part's pretty fun.

Is Sumaga good? Or at least better than Ruitomo according to 2ch?

>>11204432
You didn't miss anything, the story is shit.

>>11204444
What kind of mental gymnastics does one have to perform to compare these two games in any way. I thought Sumaga was garbage and loved Ruitomo, fuck if I know if you'll think the same.

>>11204432
what is arterial of origins? is it an OELVN?

>>11200553
Mare is now a Snow loli.

>>11204494
Armpits H-Scene confirmed?

I finished Cookie4IS route on Majikoi A-2
But I'm still confused with several things.

What is the purpose of Kuki's Project IS?
Can someone give me summary of that route?

How is Brava? I liked Kaminoyu, maybe I should give this a try.

>>11204630
It has the same staff, so it should be a safe bet. been meaning to start it and what I read from the trial was nice.

>>11204465
You sure are special.

>>11204478
Not an OELVN, not sure if it even has a full translation patch out though I heard there's an interface patch. It's a game/VN hybrid with an interesting setting, and I enjoyed playing it, though my Japanese is horrible so take that with a grain of salt.

How fast can you guys read japanese compared to english (or other first language other than japanese)?

>>11204799
depends how complicated it is but if you're talking really basic ecchi eroge then just as fast as english.

>>11204799
Why do you even care.

>>11204799
Not as fast as I can read other secondary languages, but I like my pacing.
Moege/charage still relatively faster compared to more plot heavy stuff.

>>11204802
Just curious since I'm still learning.
I'm at the point where I can mostly skim moege, but proper text is a crawl compared to how fast I can skim most english,

did this thread turn into a competition on who reads faster while I wasn't looking?

>>11204815
No. It's just a discussion. Not everything is about waving your dick around.

For people who read the Amairo trial, any hints that the story goes all serious business like Dracu-Riot? Because that game was retarded and I'd like my moege to focus on cute girls.

>>11204816
The most serious thing I can think of from the trial was mainland otakus trying to take pictures of Masaki, and at the same time a school intruder and they were resolved pretty much on the spot. I don't really see it going serious apart from the odd short-lived drama per route or something.

>>11204821
That's good to hear. Can't be bothered to read the trial now when the game comes out next week anyway.

>>11204630
Only a couple of hours in so far, but it's been pretty nice overall.
Though, it's randomly crashed on me twice so far.

Doesn't look like Natsukumo sold much.
Totono too but who cares

>>11204933
Those sales seem a bit unexpected. I guess that's why they keep making a sequel to Bunny Black.

>>11204955
Still kind of low compared to the big month.
Except for Chusingura that actually sold better on its second month, guess the word of mouth worked

>>11204933
Is the points the amount of sales because that's kind of low

>>11204955
>Those sales seem a bit unexpected
Wat. That's pretty much the top pre-orders list from most retailers for June. Look at the pre-orders for July on Getchu for example and be amazed how you never have to experience the unexpected again.

>>11204975
I'm not sure what their point criteria is, but that's just for one retailer anyways, you'd have to take into account all the other shops too

I'm a bit slow but I just learned that Jackson will release a LN soon, title is "始まらない終末戦争と終わっている私らの青春活劇～おわらいぶ～"
Instant buy of course

>>11204990
Will it be for navel again?

>>11204955
Wasn't expecting BB3 that high on the list.
I thought everyone gave up on shchara.

is erogame sales ranking mainly determined by pre-orders?
doesn't that mean shitty games that look good on the cover will be ranked very high?

>>11205039
Yes and yes

>>11205039
What do covers have to do with anything. You can get all the info you need for the purchase decision from the retailer website or the official homepage with zero effort.

>>11205039
why do you think people say landmine

>>11205041
oh well... a dirty truth
>>11205053
sorry, by cover I meant anything that you would know (including trial) about the game before buying it.

should have been clear on that :(

>>11205084
>>11205088
Is it just me or is the shitposting getting worse lately?

>>11205088
Why are you waiting for that shitty game to get translated? Are you one of those english-only niwaka who think everything Nitro+ shits out these days is gold?

>>11205088
English only peasants wouldn't be able to get it. Also, it'll never get a translation because a good bit of the game is just voices ala Forest.

>>11205084
>1. YU-NO

>2. Muramasa
agree.

>10. Sayonara wo Oshiete
this game is simply just... disgusting. that's all. I would put it close to Dustmania Grotesque.

>5. Saihate no Ima
>6. Symphonic Rain
>7. Orestuba
I haven't played these 3. are they any good and can someone elaborate on why they are good? are they really worth playing?

p.s. not trying to flame just personal opinion

>>11205092
>>11205090
You don't like yandere?

>>11205090
It has. Though with the exception of some threads, most of the shitposting has gone by ignored.

>>11205093
All you would need is to get the translator to dub it. If the said translator is a male then he will have to do his best to produce a feminine voice while speaking all of Miyuki's lines in English.

>>11205090
Ehhh, it's what you have to expect from this place, it's like a chronic disease where sometimes you have to suffer from outbreaks.
Our newest "get out of /jp/ english-only peasant!" -guy is pretty weak though. The last one had a lame shtick too. Should have learned something from milf-autist, that guy could derail the thread for hundreds of posts.

>>11205097
>this game is simply just... disgusting.

How the hell is it disgusting?

>>11205101
can't they just sub spoken parts?

>>11205108
No, because those parts aren't meant to be subbed or even have a text box. I hate to sound rather dickish, but because of what those scenes represent it's impossible without ruining the gimmick.

>>11205097
I can't really speak for SnI or oretsuba, but I really liked Symphonic Rain aside from some issues I have with the system. I don't think it's something that everyone will really think is that amazing though.

>>11205105
Try harder next time.

>>11205117
>Try harder next time.

Try harder at what? The only disgusting aspect of it was Mahiru's h-scenes.

>>11205113
Ok then how the hell do I learn japanese?

Like how Forest didn’t get a translation?

After 2 year of break, is translator aggregator the best tool for reading for japanese novice?

Been playing 百機夜行. No way to select multiple units at once is a ridiculous oversight but other than than I'm enjoying this a lot.

>>11205161
>>>/vg/

>>11205179
I just checked the /vg/ thread, and it seems they asked the same question there too. Totono is also being discussed, hence why we're getting silly questions about it being translated.

>>11205163
I could never beat the final boss, no idea where I fucked up. A sequel with improved mechanics would be glorious but that's probably not going to happen.
Those delicious uniform clad women...

Translating the sleep-inducing writing of Totono must be a nightmare

>>11205134
>>11205113

>>11205203
Unless you take it as a challenge to make the writing better than the original.

>>11205211
That shouldn't be very hard.

http://ameblo.jp/ichijo-k/entry-11573983390.html
One of the Senshinkan VA talk about the character he is voicing.

>>11205203
It's about as inoffensive as writing can get, just delivers the plot and can be read super fast and the game is short anyway. Had more problems with Natsukuru where characters would never shut up about their sex organs in pretty much every situation. The hell is up with that.

>>11205243
You are sick

>>11205134
Sona-nyl does that too and it's on Ixrec project list, I wonder how they'll do it considering as far as I know the text lines used for subs in Forest was particular to the game itself.
Reading two different subs instead of the original setup makes for a kinda different experience

>>11205243
The writing isn't "inoffensive" since it's boring as fuck, there is no emotion, no wits, it's a completely soulless text.
And don't compare it to Natsukumo please, this one is actually fun to read.

>>11205243
at least natsukuru don't blame and slap you in the face

>>11205242
>先に体験版が出るそうで、楽しみにしていてくれ！
Can't fucking wait

>>11205242
>神野秋影
He typed it down wrong, but it's definitely this guy.

Quite obviously the chuunige obligatory batshit crazy battle junkie that you meet early in the game.

>>11205252
>And don't compare it to Natsukumo please, this one is actually fun to read
I like Natsukuru a lot, but man, 90% of the character interaction in that game is vulgar, mostly unfunny jokes. And this probably isn't even an exaggerated number for effect, it's just that bad.

>>11205268
Looking at Masada twitter it seems more like he will be a mix of Mercurius and Hajun.

>>11205273
NEET hikki that loves despair and talking?

Perfect.

>>11205268
watch as he turns out to be the obligatory Spinne character

>>11205098
You only look forward to this game because it has a yandere character?

>>11205269
I found the jokes pretty funny and mostly harmless for the most part, these character interactions really helped in easing the pacing and I ended up doing the entirety of Natsukumo is less than 2 days.

Totono though I had to force myself to read till the end.

>>11205097
>kajitsu>meikyuu>rakuen
100% agree. Kajitsu was the best of the three, Meikyuu was more of a fan disc with a stupid sequel hook and Rakuen went batshit retarded by trying to be Metal Gear Solid: Cute Girls Edition.

>are they any good and can someone elaborate on why they are good? are they really worth playing?
Haven't touched the other two, but Saihate no IMA has the most incomprehensible mind screws I've come across in VNs to this day. The pacing is a bit odd and the amount of infodump towards the end would make both Infinity series and Muv-Luv's writers blush, but the actual plot is top notch. The amount of foreshadowing and world building Romeo put into the game is insane. And that's coming from someone who also found Cross Channel lacking.

>>11205283
Yeah, see how that works, I couldn't take more than three hours of constant penis jokes in one sitting so it took me like, one week.
How the fuck did ALL of the characters end up being like that, one character is usually responsible for that shit, in Natsukuru the entire cast consists of butt monkeys.

>>11205283
>Totono though I had to force myself to read till the end.

I agree, unfortunately. After Miyuki's loop my interest in Totono was the lowest it had been all throughout, which says a fucking lot about the writer really if the most supposedly climactic scene fell completely flat. The individual endings weren't that great either, all that for ten fucking minutes of dialogue at the end.

>>11205305
I can certainly understand how the humor isn't for everyone so I don't blame you, the writer is definitely a pretty weird guy.

But I'll always prefer a writer who actually try compared to someone who doesn't (like Shimokura).

>>11205317
>But I'll always prefer a writer who actually try compared to someone who doesn't (like Shimokura).
It might be my nostalgia goggles talking, but I actually had fun reading Gekkou no Carnevale. What the fuck happened? (Haven't read Totono obviously.)

>>11205333
Well Carnevale wasn't exactly good for its writing, it was mostly characters and atmosphere. His later games are all about pseudo-meta stuff which is kinda hit or miss

>>11205097
>>11205117
Symphonic Rain is nice but all the "greatness" is concentrated into a few 10 minute segments, and the rest of the time it's just kind of pleasant and atmospheric.

>>11205575
some of the routes just tried too hard really

like the entire character of graves

that was a bit much

Is there any VN that's the opposite of chuuni in that any supernatural activity that exists is utterly ignored? For example, a character being briefly mentioned in passing to be fighting against vampires every night, but the subject is never brought up again and everyone leads their rabukome lives.

To think I was about to skip Tamamo's route is hitsujikai. Senri's ending was kinda underwhelming because they just crammed confession and sex scenes in the last part of her route, right after the climax, and the whole thing just felt like an afterthought, also didn't even have an epilogue.
Tamamo's route was a lot better executed, like Kana's in that regard. Now Shirasaki (and Maho) and finally Kodachi.

>>11205662
Sounds like you just want an excuse to see what you don'ìt like ridiculed. Isn't it enough to stay away from games like that?

>>11205695
...no, not at all. I don't see what train of thought you rode on to get there.

>>11205703
Sorry then, don't mind me and carry on.

>>11205685
Tamamo, Kana and Kodachi are the best routes. Didn't care for Senri, Shirasaki and the sub-heroines.

>>11205662
The example you brought up is not an opposite of chuuni. It's just a setting that the writer puts in and doesn't really mean anything at all.

And does chuuni really have an absolute opposite?

>>11205715
I'd say seinen is the opposite, or at least in the other side of the spectrum, but I've yet to see an instance of seinen in eroge that's intriguing enough.

>>11205724
>seinen
Are you just...throwing out random words?

>>11205730
No. I read other stuff besides eroge. I meant the term as used in manga.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%92%E5%B9%B4%E6%BC%AB%E7%94%BB

>>11205715
By "in that" I meant "in that aspect". Chuuni heavily focuses on it, what I'm asking about acknowledges its existence but ignores it.

>>11205724
hahahahahhahahahahahahha

that was pretty good I bet someone will fall for it

>>11205737
>I meant the term as used in manga.
You meant for boys +18? Like all eroge? Because that's its definition.

>>11205746
No, I do not mean the demographic itself but the themes used. Stuff like 3-gatsu no Lion.

>>11205749
seinen and shounen are labels solely based on the intended audience for the material.

I think you might want to go back to /a/ bud

>>11205738
I don't get it... Is typical moege what you're looking for?>>11205738

>>11205738
HOTEL. is probably what you're looking for.

Why was the true ending to Kara no Shoujo so shitty and forced?

1.Protag-kun apparently loved Touko but he didn't even attempt to look for her and he basically gave up. He hardly even mentions her once she goes missing....

2. What was the motive of Touko's mom for killing her?

3. Why did Orihime start a prostitution ring? What happened to her bodyguard that was watching over her when she was kidnapped?

4. There's probably a reason given for this, but what was Nene doing at the academy?

>>11205819
Because the writer is bad.

1. He does look for her in KnS 2.
2. I don't remember that part.
3. Because she feels restricted in the school and her household.
4. Something to do with looking for Touko's bloodtype.

>>11205781
Sounds like it could be good, thanks.

>>11205842
Though on second thought it's probably not what you're looking for because there is no chuuni. There is just a much grander, very interesting setting and ignoring it is kind of the point of the story.

>>11205819
>1
Let the police do their job and you do yours; Touko specifically asked you to find something and it's the one time you even bother to give it a try.
>2.
I'm assuming you meant What is the motive behind killing Touko's mom
read the non-true touka end. He fucking tells you.
>3
Did you even read through her story, or did you just not understand half of it? She found life boring, and discovered her S-self from the kidnapping, and decided to make the boring school's life more interesting for herself and those around her
>4.
Please tell me you aren't asking why a school nurse is at a school. please.

>>11205859
I don't think a request takes priority over a human life you robot.

>>11205831
@1 Yeah, like a year later from what I know.
Fuck if I'll spend the time to read it when it's out, though.

@3
That doesn't really answer anything.

>>11205864
>I don't think
You didn't think?
Of course you didn't, else you wouldn't have asked the questions in the first place.
And it's not like you would've saved her anyhow, as you would know if you read the non-true route where you go search for her.

>>11205895
I only bothered with the true ending and the one where You save her

>>11205923
well now dont you just look like a huge idiot

>>11205924
Why would I bother with a bunch of shitty endings in a shitty game when I can just ask here?

>>11205923
and become a generic disney story, hell yeah we all want that.

>>11203078
The patch adds a lot of fun. Really I'm not joking, just try it

>>11205938
Why do anything?

>>11206195
Exactly.

Playing the demo of Cure Mate Club
and then, Sensei was a trap

>>11206296
Traps are gross. it's almost like a girl but instead they have a grotesque penis inbetween their legs.

>>11206381
Hamaji's penis in h2o was kind of cute.

>>11206381
Nothing is worse than a character that is drawn exactly like a girl, but they have a penis.
Sure takes the gal out of galge.

>>11206381
The penis is less grotesque than the vagina.

This is well-known fact

Does Australia have vampires now?

>>11206620
If you're a faggot.

Please someone answer me, will it get better? seriously until this point except this girl we only spoke 2-3 lines with other heroines, mc did NOTHING and was pretty useless expect watching some action scenes and the "sorry in fact i was a Tokugawa" thing was pretty lame, so in short i didnt enjoyed very much, absolutely worse than koihime at least until this point.Those guys who already read this, please tell me will it get better or will it stay like this? also will mc do any shit from now,i dont care if its action or some intelligence since he is more useless than those non face sub characters.

>>11207956
10/10 kerning

>>11207980
Most likely because of my sleepiness i cant see something obvious but sorry,i really couldnt understand. was it about the picture?

>>11208089
he means the character alignment of the text was screwed up

>>11207956
Why is her chin so pointy?

>>11208808
last resort weapon if she misplaces both her swords
japanese blacksmiths have legendary techniques of chin sharpening

>>11208808
>>11208848

Gakuen handsome was a true kamige.

>>11207956
It only gets worse.

>>11202580
>>11204377
So, just checking: Top choice first for an ending I will actually understand. Right?

>>11208972
Yes, the other is for when you've finished the first one. It's a more complete epilogue.

>>11208977
Perfect, off we go then. Thanks.

>>11205097
>latter part is shit.

Kill yourself.

>>11205819
Well, other anons already pointed all the things you missed, still I have something to add. KnS basically is a copy paste from mouryou no hako, some scenes author managed to copy without even thinking what does they mean in the MnH and why they won't work in KnS becoming a plot holes.
I'm more interested, are related works(cartagra and kns2) copied from other books of that kyogokudo series too?

>>11205333
Oh man you sure are special hating what's popular.
Now get back to your super obscure eroge, anon.

>>11205662
Shuffle

>>11208987
You sure told him

>>11208987
Your data are a bit old, Totono has a 83/78 in egs these days.
And using this shit to prove anything is retarded as fuck

>>11208987
are you a retard or a retard?

>>11208995
Yes, the opinion of the majority doesn't prove anything! Nice going asslord.

>>11209030
This guy is a riot. Keep up the good work!

>>11208987
Did you just call super oscure a game that has more votes than the one you're saying is popular? Nice

Apparently we all should buy Berry's and Bunny Black 3 off last month releases because the majority said so

>>11209075
You mean you still didn't play BB3?!

>>11209075
Bunny Black 3 was pretty fun though.

>>11209051
More like it was aimed at the guy who wrote the green text, no idea how I ended up quoting you. S-sorry!

>>11209087
>>11209092
Is the BB series that good? The first one looked like some shitty generic dungeon crawler so I ignored it.

>>11209109
Do you also ignore "shitty generic jrpg" and other slg like GoD, Madou Koukaku, Kamidori, etc?

finished 999. it was a worse experience than I expected.
I was looking forward to something like SAW, but it turns out to be "let's play puzzle games!", wel and you have to play the same puzzles again again again and over again if you want to see all 6 endings that aren't worth my time to be honest. the system is just crap.
the ending is absolutely shit. It only answers a few questions and leaves other unexplained. Not only is that, it adds more mystery at the very very end.
someone on crack again?

>>11209119
These are all pretty bad

>>11209125
Suck my cock

>>11209109
>shitty generic dungeon crawler
It's anything but generic.

>>11209132
Yeah, that sure as fuck is not a word that is applicable for ShChara in general.

>>11209120
Agreed, 999 is a bit overrated. However, some questions are answered in the dev Q&A (no idea why they couldn't do it in the game), and VLR fixes a lot of problems with the system (while adding some new ones - I'm looking at you, slowly moving map marker).

>>11209144
Whatever. You haven't even played it.

>>11209158
Uh... did you think that post was meant to be ironic or something? It's a simple agreement with the quoted post.

>>11209119
No, I just don't really like dungeon crawlers. Though I greatly enjoyed Gears of Dragoon for some reason.

>>11209132
>>11209144
I see, might give it a try sometime in the future when looking at its reputation then. I'm just a bit cautious of ShChara after their previous game.

Started reading Second Novel and the way the text is displayed is driving me insane. Sometimes the next line gets displayed as it should be by changing all the text in the box, sometimes another sentence just gets added to the text in the textbox. Fucking annoying.

>>11209186
>I'm just a bit cautious of ShChara after their previous game.

Softhouse Chara games are always kind of a coin flip. There is such a ridiculous variance in quality between their stuff.

>>11209224
Are you playing on an emulator or something? I don't remember having any problems playing on a PSP

I'm playing on a PSP and it's not a technical problem but a stupid stylistic choice. When I push the button to proceed with the text I expect the textbox to show me the entire line at once, with this game it's just on a random sentence by sentence basis it seems like.

>>11209258
that is actually not a very rare feature... if you don't like it, well there's not too much you can do about it(I dont think there is ever an option for this), deal with it or drop it.

So when are the oculus rift VNs coming out?

>>11209348
never. japs are shit at programming.

best they can do is keep using their hacked together 90s engines to do shit

>>11209348
>>11209357
What's with the random blabbering. How would static 2D art benefit from this shit.

The homepage for Venus Blood -Gaia- opened, seems like it's pretty much Abyss 2.0. Being hyped as fuck here

>>11209602
So... same game system as well?

>>11209635
Yeah mostly seems to be same with some improvements here and there. Main additions to system seems to be the leader & link system and region battles. Also the division is up to 12 instead of 10, and theres atleast 12 heroines.

Why is Zen such a fag? I bet he doesn't even like eroge.

>>11210051
well even though he is saying its bad its bad to everything, in the end he is still playing them, i guess he is kind of tsundere.

>>11210061
He's almost on the kuudere territory.

>>11210051
It really does seem like he doesn't like eroge. But if he truly doesn't like them, it leaves you wondering what he's doing there. Might just be a hard tsun like >>11210061 said.

>>11210051
who is zen?

>>11210091
> it leaves you wondering what he's doing there
getting all the attention he wants from morons like you and >>11210051

Finished Fata Morgana no Yakata,thought I'd add my two cents even if I don't do this very often and hadler's rec was pretty spot on already
The scope of the scenario was pretty amazing, I really liked the story composition, how it unfolded and picked things back up into the conclusion. It also did some nifty things with meta details like the backlog and choices in some places.
Sometimes the pace did feel pretty off, like too many flashbacks back to back slowing down things or events happening a bit too fast for plot convenience, but it kept my drive to read along alive pretty much throughout. The writing itself was kinda weird in some places, like when it tries to be funny with a modern kind of humor in a story otherwise pretty atmospheric, heavy and dramatic (it's not like it didn't work, but felt pretty unnatural), but I appreciated how it didn't try to be verbose for the sake of it and kept the style to the point for the most part. Soundtrack was pretty cool and very atmospheric. Art seems very hit or miss and might be straight ugly for some people but I warmed up to it pretty soon.
Even if the downsides end up weighting more for you I'd say all in all it's a fucking steal for its price, if you like stories about love, kindness, hatred, tragedy, and the ugliness and beauty of human nature you might want to try this

>>11210198
Well, if someone ever uploads this I sure as hell am going to read it.

>>11210272
Perfect, thanks.

SOON

On the first ending of Rea route and this bar scene is pure gold. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

>>11210909
Isn't that her second ending?

>>11210939
Are you serious? If that's the case I'm doing them in the reversed order. I could have sworn I took the choice I was told to take here though.

>>11210909
>>11210909
I'm >>11204377 who also fired up DI today to play through the other ending. Seems >>11208977 was mistaken.
The other ending doesn't really add anything worthwhile apart from few CGs. It's actually the exact same conclusion, but without a proper final battle, that past Germany epilogue in your screenshot and the route just ends with the graveyard scene. The other choice essentially leads up to a Normal Ending that's not really necessary.

>>11210960
And to add, you didn't fuck yourself over in anyway and don't need to worry about replaying from that choice again unless you're going for 100% completion. The one you're doing now is the best ending that explains everything the same.

>>11210960
That ending is the original one for Acta est fabula, I like it better than the new ending personally just for the death scene of Mercurius, one of the best scene in the game

>>11210960
>>11210977
Alright, thanks, that put me at ease. I'll probably read them both anyway since I like getting 100%

Acta Est Fabula
That ending also fits better with the theme of the route since Rea's route was all about Mercurius' "stage" breaking little by little shown by characters like Rusalka/Wilhelm/Valeria/Wolfang all getting over their curse and culminating with Ren who was supposed to be the main character of the play but who decide to get off the stage.
The new ending is nice fanservice but I just can't see it as canon.

>>11211026
Should have linked to >>11210984

>>11210960
>>11210977
You need to get both ending to unlock the final epilogue

>>11210984
>>11211026
Strange that they didn't decide to just somehow mix AeF and AA endings together since they're essentially the same, save for how the final battle actually plays out. Marie even hints about fixing the world in a way that Rea and Ren get to meet again during this scene, an event that only gets shown in the extended AA ending.

Confusing for players like me and >>11210948 who were going through AA release first, especially since the other choice seems like the obvious "wrong one".

>>11211055
>final epilogue
Does it have anything plot related or is it just an extended happy ending? Never read any of the AA extras but hopping back and forth between it and KKK (which I'm also reading for the first time right now) breaks the flow, plus my head.

>>11211026

Does it really matter? The result is the same anyway and you have to admit Ren going out with a bang was cool too.

But yeah, I still like the previous ending more because it expands on why Mercurius did what he did.
It's kinda ironic that an all-powerful god can't escape the 'hell' he created.

>>11211092
Last bosses ntring your waifus

>>11211092
The last epilogues shows the marriage of Ren and Rea, with some good fanservice for the fans of Rusalka., so yeah read it, it's short and nice.

>>11211123
Is it really NTR? MC is technically Mercurius + Lotus = Mercurius 2.0

Both of them have probably overcome puny mortal concepts such as 'sex' anyways.
Now that I think about it, Dies Irae is probably the greatest pure love story of our times.

It was god tier fanservice and damn, I hope he knocked her up, reverse rape is always super effective.

Is there no new game plus in Daiteikoku? I just finished a play through, and was hoping to start a new one, but stronger off this time, but it doesn't give me anything.

>>11212894
There are fishes you can collect and use as new battleships I think.

>>11212914
haha what a shitty game

>>11211330
>I hope
Wait, why do you need to hope for it? I'm quite sure it was confirmed that Rusalka and Lotus are Ren's grandparents in the new world.

Am I the only one who think that Danganronpa is hugely overrated? The characters are too forced and it might be a good thing if it was a comedy, but I can't remember even a moment where I might think "yep, that was fun", so they fall flat in story to the point where I hate them. Even writing is kinda childish, looks like a 999 for little kids. And I'm not praising 999, it's overrated too but at least that one tried to be good. All my friends compare Danganronpa with PW and say how much better D is, but I still can't understand how can that middle schooler's fanfic be even close to shu takumi's writing. So, what do you think about Danganronpa? Would like to hear opinions of anon.

>>11213507
too obvious

>>11213507
you haven't play the game. try harder.

Can anyone clue me in to what the differences are between sengoku hime 3 and 4? As far as I can understand they have slightly different scenarios but 4 has more refined gameplay? So does that warrant playing 3 before 4?

is there a link to summer days? thats the one of the three i cant find

>>11213560
if its not on sukebei just use share

>>11213583
but police!

>>11213592
japanese police can't arrest you if you aren't in japan

>>11213609
Japanese people won't connect to you either, it's why I don't use share,

>>11213615
get a vpn then god damn

vdz used to have an ftp (or might still) that had popular untranslated vns along with the translated ones. could check to see if thats still up too

>>11213560
why play summer days when you can play shiny days?????????????????????

Still waiting on MGQ3.

Sigh.

>>11213644
this isnt /vg/ you got lost

go home

>>11213560
Just download Shiny Days, it's an enhanced remake of Summer Days.

Can the writing be judged by translation? If not, then how can you like works of particular authors, since all that's left of them is a story and not how it's told?

>>11213812
translations may change the writing style, but they do not change the way the story is told, the flow, the tone, etc...

>>11213830
Doesn't that assume the translation is good or faithful to the original? Poorly worded/sloppy sentences can very much change the flow or tone.

>>11213812
I wonder if the anti-translations people read translated works from german authors.

I've noticed that people who learn Japanese as a second language only seem to care about sperging to kanji and how "impossible" it is to translate. More than likely the writing isn't even above that of a newspaper, but it's hard to someone new to the language. Well there's also chuu2 garbage.

>>11213812
hi there Shirley!

>>11213848
They should also just fucking learn chinese if that's how the judge quality.

>>11213830
Tone and flow can definitely be changed by a translation.

>>11213848
What about those who learn it as a third language?

>>11213848
People tend to give professional translations more slack because those generally, those people are recognized experts in both languages and will be able to retain (most of) the nuances and subtleties when changing the language.

Most translations from the Japanese to English are done by bored people in their twenties who either learned in their spare time or took a few courses.

>>11213861
>professional

Like Kouryuu or that guy that did WEE.

Don't you people have the translation status thread for this shit. No need to contaminate even more threads with this garbage.

And done. Kodachi's route was great and the true end side for the heroines (only did Kana) was great too, almost liked it more because it actually went and did stuff regarding Kakei's past and Nanai ebing his dad, but both sides were really well done.
I want a Kana, her short stories are hilarious and her chemistry with Kakei is amazing in general. Hope she gets more screentime in the fandisk.

Just how similar is JQV to Cross Channel and Saihate no Ima? I've been hearing comparisons everywhere and as a huge Romeo cornswaggler I was wondering if I should read it.

>>11214231
Why would you read a ripoff when you can just read the real thing?

>>11214231
Yeah JQV definitely has been influenced by Romeo's works, with CC and Ima being the principal sources.
But it does stand very well on its own, definitely worth a read if you like good things.
It's probably the best doujin game of all times really

>>11210051
Sadly most of the people that put in the time to review these things are the worst kinds of people that eat up every half assed attempt at a game the Japs spit out in order to make a quick buck.
So while I can't say much about his taste in eroge, I'm actually glad he's still around to trash talk all the shitty games. If not for his rants I would have to waste time playing trials or just dismiss 90% of the eroge that come out just based on the cover alone.

>>11214541
>I'm actually glad he's still around to trash talk all the shitty games
That would actually make him useful but unfortunately he doesn't even read eroge. He's just a random internet jokester with a not so clever shtick. And that's the guy who saves you from wasting time on trials. Seems like you have been fucking up for a somewhat extensive period of time ~.

>>11214541
> dismiss 90% of the eroge that come out just based on the cover alone.
That's essentially what you're doing if you listen to his advice. He doesn't know any more about the game than you do.

>>11214541
Zen is someone who think Oretsuba is badly written shit and inferior to Shuffle.

>>11214934
Zen opinion time is always fun
>last good thing n+ released was jingai makyo
>liar soft and rail soft still have never published something with good writing
>Grisaia's Makina is shit and doesn't belong in the novel (hasn't read her route)

>>11214541
Zen aside as others have already pointed out that he more or less judges by the cover as well, isn't it possible to like... just wait for it to be released and see what the popular opinion is to decide whether or not it may be worth your time?

Most good games, aside from maybe doujin ones, will likely get talked about or at least mentioned anyway.

I don't even fucking know who this guy is and I'm prefectly fine with that.

>>11214942
i dont know this Zen guy, but, wow.

>last good thing n+ released was jingai makyo
the only shit game N+ that has is probably Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu. jingai makyo is a good, but fucking incomplete. this statement is just totally off the road.

>liar soft and rail soft still have never published something with good writing
Dafuq is this guy saying? Can't he tell that liar and rail have half shits and half masterpieces?
or is it to hard for him to read?

>Grisaia's Makina is shit and doesn't belong in the novel (hasn't read her route)
.........................................................

>>11214974
What do you expect from someone who probably doesn't even read eroge?

I don't usually read his comments so I don't know specifically but the last ones I remember him mentioning that he read was like... Tiny Dungeon and Kiminago.

>>11214974
>Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu
Took me a while to realize what you meant, probably because I've never played it. Too bad if it's that shitty, I like its songs.

Such hatred, such contempt! This guy has managed to out-asshole Moogy-dono.

>>11214963
Seriously, are we supposed to know who this guy is? Sounds like another third rate "reviewer" to me.

>>11215090
It's mainly the people who follow that blog with a monthly list of eroge releases that come with that guys commenting. I don't get why people don't just use other sources though.

>>11215115
I follow it out of habit mostly, but it is nice having them all on the same page, and Micchi's impressions are occasionally useful. I just ignore Zen altogether.

>>11215115
I find it hilarious and informative, since micchi plays many trials.

>>11215115
well most of people follows it for michi's reviews, i dont really like playing trials and michi has a pretty good taste so why not.

Isn't it about time for a new thread?

>>11215167
So make it. Thread is only in page 3.

>>11215167
Shit you're right. Only 2 days left before this thread falls of the board, better act quickly.

>>11214963
>>11215090

it's just a couple shitposters who enjoy seeing this thread getting lots of butthurt replies. works every time, we've had this same discussion regularly for more than two years now as you both know very well.

>>11215176
hohohohoho

Which VN's prose did you prefer /jp/, JQV's or SubaHibi's?

>>11215243
Subahibi, really like sca-ji. This reminds me he still isn't working on a new game, fuck.

>>11215243
In term of pure prose JQV but they are 2 completely different styles.

>>11215251
He is working on Sakura no Uta, he basically had to redo everything himself

>>11214974
>the only shit game N+ that has is probably Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu.
Don't forget everything by Shimokura XD

>>11215288
nah

>>11215262
Hopefully he gives Kei a route.

>>11215288
Shimokura's writing is easy and it's a nice start for a newborn jap reader, but he writes everything so fucking boring. Got tired of totono, almost finished azanaeru and dropped it too. Like his sole purpose to put a reader to sleep.

>>11215326
I like how you didn't get that that post was making fun of you.

>>11215484
It was an obvious irony, I just pointed out that his works being an example of how not to write are still a good start for language learners.

Can you get caught cheating in Amagami? Back when I was playing it I only focused on Ayatsuji's events so I never tried the other girls out, but the huge number of events hopefully points to that possibility.

>>11215663
Yes you can, there are something called "tear events" when that happens. I'm not sure about their exact effect on your progress though

I need some help here, there is this VN I've been trying to find with no luck, I have almost no leads, I can only remember its image.
It had a white background, there were a lot of characters but not that many, the designs were kinda new, I think it had a red haired girl on it and there were definitely at least one guy among the characters.
Anyone might know what VN is this?

>>11215223
>>11215223
>>11215223

new thread notice since apparently OP forgot

Just finished Danganronpa, the characters were fleshed out well, but the end left me kind of wanting, I mean open the door and that's it? At least Junko took me by surprise, didn't see that conclusion coming I was wondering if it would be worth it to import the second one to play or if it's worse than the first one?
