I and a few other people here seemed to enjoy it. I was quite surprised when I went to 2ch's Baldr thread and saw how their opinions contrasted.

Can't say I don't understand them. They dished out 10,000円 for a product that's unfinished on a few important fronts, but honestly it's nowhere near as bad as they say. In fact, besides the ones about the battle system and the use of Baldr Sky's assets, most of the complaints aimed at ZERO fully apply to other Baldr games.
>テキストがラノベっぽすぎて、寒い、萎える
>キャラ立ちが酷い
Etc.
The only one that's really exclusive to ZERO is the one about pacing. Everyday things often drag on while stuff in battle sequences go by so fast you have trouble understanding what just happened.

>> No.11516456

I had fun, the gameplay is markedly different to the Dive series (more haphazard, less CQC combo-ism).

On a sidenote I like Ed more than Kou, he is a lot more honest and wouldn't mind letting his mouth run a bit and more capable of actually talking to people he isn't familiar with. The fact almost everyone is new to Ed, compare to almost everyone is old/familiar with Kou, is quite a contrast that I liked. It's funny they call Ed a dumb gunner with no brain like Sakura when Kou is even dumber throughout Dive (and didn't get call for it).

Newfag at VNs, only played a few, and only really the popular ones, so I can't really form much of an opinion, and I'm not entirely sure of my tastes yet.

Where can I find good reviews of VNs? I'm not exactly looking for recommendations, because I want to go off of what sounds good to me, but I want to know where I can at least find them, because I'm at a loss. I've been to a couple VN general threads, but most discussed are recent VNs, and I'm really just looking for descriptions that catch my eye.

Sorry if this is a pretty new thing of me to ask, and it's completely fine if I don't get an answer, but I thought it'd be alright to try.

Which probably means you can't read Japanese? Well, you are pretty much out of luck. There are some English blogs who do reviews for eroge, but they focus on untranslated stuff. You could also read Ixrec's reviews (http://amaterasu.tindabox.net/)), but his taste is usually really bad.

>The slice of life and comedy in the common route has some fairly silly heroines, a quirky yet nuanced writing style, plus a calm yet mystical atmosphere from both the town and the nice fluffy story to occupy time until the genre shift. Somehow it manages to be a highly immersive and relaxing experience that makes you eager to learn more about the town's secrets after the plot kicks in.
>Then, sadly and bizarrely, the actual routes are just plain badly written. More often than not twenty pages will say what could easily fit into five sentences. Some fairly lengthy scenes have no discernible purpose, and several that should have one somehow fail to add the slightest detail to what we already knew. Partly as a result, the story varies between being needlessly nebulous (for most or all of each route you have no idea what the conflict is even about), poorly explained (in one dramatic finale a bunch of named characters died and I still don't understand why), inconsistent (the most powerful person in one route is reduced to a red shirt with a totally different power in another), and weird in a bad way (a couple of the twists would've been appropriate for a Doctor Who episode).

I've retained very little information from the class. I remember most Hiragana and Katakana symbols, and how to write them.

I also did a program back when I was in Highschool that sent me to Japan for a student ambassador thing, I got school credits for it, and spent two weeks going all over Nippon (Didn't go to Hokkaido, but mostly everywhere else) learning about the customs, people, government, and having a fun time.

Unfortunately, this was maybe 5 years ago about, and I only really got into Otaku culture and Japanese culture 2-3 years ago. I think back on my trip to Japan and think of all of the things I would do now if I was there. Then again, I don't know if it's better to have to desperately hide a power level, or to just not have a high power level to begin with.

Two words: "simple pleasures."

Artwork also matches the story perfectly, in that it shows exactly what it needs to show without beautifying a thing. The writing style is also a perfect fit. Rather than being artistic, it tells everything exactly like it is (exceptions for when a more emotional character is narrating, but of course that just adds more to the scene).

Although the first chapter was a slow start (for good reason), after that the plot moves pretty quickly, making it easy to focus on the positives mentioned above. The gameplay also does a nice job of not dragging out, except for a handful of deliberately hard boss fights which were quite satisfying to beat. Last but not least, it did feel like significant effort was put into fleshing out the fictional world, which (like in any other decent fantasy story) helped in a lot of ways.

The three routes work together beautifully, with the sole flaw that some parts of the final route repeat a little too much old content. And finally, there is a large cluster of potentially world-changing secrets entirely withheld from you until Josou Sanmyaku 2, but hopefully you saw that coming.

Score: 7.5

Polarization: (-19.2/+2.3)

One of the convenient consequences of "fundamental unoriginality" is heavy depolarization, so this subscore should come as no surprise.

I'd put Eustia and Daitoshokan both on the same level myself. Sameface jokes aside, they are two completely different games and not really comparable at all, but they both were very well done in their respective sub-genres.

I certainly wouldn't call it "another nothing special moege". If the average moege had that level of effort and production values put into it I'd be the happiest man alive.

Tsukihime Review

A masterpiece of post-modernism, intertextuality and metaphysics.

This game spams more tropes than I could ever link you to. So I won't keep trying. However, most of them are decently well executed, so this game actually rides a fine line between cliche storm and troperiffic, and how much you enjoy it will largely depend on how jaded you are and how much you like this particular genre. In fact, the game almost seems to be a direct rip-off of FSN at times, so how much you liked that is the only indicator you need.

Tsukihime uses (and sometimes lampshades) everything that's good about typical shonen action, and either averts or subverts (or even explicitly mocks) several of the common pitfalls. The former means that all the battles are cool, and some are downright epic. The latter means that, among other things: there is a lot of disagreement and infighting among the protagonists, there is often no identifiable villain to defeat or objective to complete, it is often unclear what if anything would be morally right, and the protagonists are powerless to stop most (but not all) of the tragic events.

Fundamentally, everything is character-driven, and the characters are excellent. They all have different opinions and motivations which can and do clash, none of them are useless, and none of them are idiots (in a bad way). Also, they're all capable of being funny, especially when grouped together, which is important given all the slice of life scenes.

There are no dull moments in Tsukihime; literally every scene is entertaining. But the game is not flawless. Most of the truly awesome events are in the final route, so a couple routes never get very far above "entertaining". There is also a mild degree of predictability throughout. And some of the choices are stupidly misleading. But that's it.

>> No.11523642

>>11523638
Score: 1000/10

Polarization: (-3.4/+7.4)

The predictability might be a non-issue for some of you. On the other hand, there are a handful of tropes which are played perfectly straight that some people might find annoying, and there are a few others which some may find underwhelming (though that last one ends up completely justified). Finally, some of the dialogue and narration can sound pretentious.

Routes/Endings Played: All five routes and all bad endings.

Also, saying no character is useless is misleading. Sure, Hisui helps with Kohaku stuff and Ciel is an important supporting character for Arcueid and Akiha, but their routes are bad and Hisui in particular has little reason for existing besides filling out the fetish quota.

My darling wife Chihiro was stricken with a sickness that had no treatment, except one: the creampie ejaculations up her beloved vagina by someone other than me, Shiro, her husband.
Watching her make love with strangers, it was a cure worse than the disease.

We were so happy when we married, and then one day she suddenly collapsed.

If you are after otome or yuri games too, I can give you a long list. Among standard VNs there's less to choose from, but here's a few of my favorites:

- Shikkoku no Sharnoth (Mary is my all-time favorite female protagonist)
- Shiei no Sona-Nyl (also way up there)
- Ourai no Gahkthun (sensing a theme?)
- MOON.
- Katahane (multiple protagonists, but several - including arguably the most important one - are female)
- Remember11 (no ero, since it's an Infinity series game. There are two protagonists, and you play the first half of the game as the woman.)
- Aoishiro and its console prequel Akaiito (no ero, but very good games with incredible production values)

>> No.11525890

>>11525786
The problem with the Female Protagonist tag is that a lot of VNs that carry it only have a very brief part of the story taking place from the viewpoint or a female character. Heck, the #1 rating entry on that list is Fate/stay night, which only has the brief prologue from Rin's POV. There is a Female Protagonist for a Short Time tag now, but it's not possible for ordinary users to remove preexisting tags.

Ixrec gives a score to the eroge, than he adds a range which is supposed to cover for the individual taste of the reader (a +/- score), which he calls polarization.

Normally it should also have a + side, but apparently, he doesn't think anyone would find it better than a 7.

It be nice if that were translated.
Even if it's a short nukige, the art was beautiful. I'd like to understand the storyline.

Yep, basically. You only need to look at the crop of hilarious errors in the Comyu patch to see that he hasn't learned a damn thing since Rewrite.
