/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>11855364
If I see that fucking classroom one more time...

Ringo is a dumb name. Might as well name your other child child "desk" or something while you're at it.

>>11855376
>>11855372

It doesn't even look pretty.
Yes, this applies to both.

What VN is that?

>>11855478

Boku no Hiding Hands

Finished playing the Hello Lady! trial. That sure was fun in various meanings. Can't wait for full release now. Also the protagonist was a riot, has been while since I liked protag this much.

>>11855364
>no route, ever
The saddest part of the entire vn. And it only got worse as the plot went on.

>>11855497
He really outshone the heroines. I really wanted to know everyone's halo, including his, but it never came in the trial, hope it isn't some super awesome twist revealed in the last route, power stuff is half the fun.

>>11855506
Yeah he was really great although I did like Eru, Saku and Mitori quite a bit too. And with everyones halos there few hints to what they could be, protags could probably be red herrings though but I doubt they withhold it too much once the shit starts to happen.

>>11855506
>>11855527
I'd say Hello, Lady has the potential of becoming the best Hino work for me, and I say that as a big Hino fag.
That vocabulary and prose, it's nice to see a writer who actually know Japanese after the drought of the last few months, 2014 is looking like to be an awesome year.

>>11855527
>Mitori
Poor girl, I get that she's not going to be exactly in good terms with Shinri, but I hope she gets some kind of side route like the red head in &.
I'm honestly curious about Sorako, what she described her halo to be sounded too nice and simple for etoile-level.

>>11855563
I wouldn't say that Sorako halo is that simple, it's just unrefined, just see her reaction to protag and Taigi, its definately "dangerous" ability if it developes more which it definately will whats with the statement Tokino made.

Also hope that Mitori gets some good scenes atleast considering how her relationship to protag was setup so far.

Started playing Seisai no Resonance. Art looks decent, the setting sounds reasonably interesting. I'll see how it goes.

http://vndb.org/v10613

>>11855657
That has some kind of gameplay, right?

Will be interested in hearing how it is, haven't seen many VNs with 3D gameplay.

>>11855657
Yes, do let us know how well your machine translates it.

>>11855670
From what I've seen so far it has some 3D fighting game elements. Not sure how extensive they'll be. The first couple of fights weren't difficult.

>>11855539
>it's nice to see a writer who actually know Japanese after the drought of the last few months
Is this even serious?

On either case, I really prefer Hino on Ruitomo and Hanafubuki common routes with that, er, minimalistic verbose or whatever the hell was it. At least it's better than a voice that only knows to be pompous, no matter how solid it may be.
But, well, the trial was great indeed.

>>11855670
The gameplay is meh, and only 1 route is worth to read.

Where all the VNs at? It's the fucking 31st, this is the only thing i live for I can't live without them

>>11855903
It's not even 10AM in Japan, and they're not going to start showing up for a few days. You think you'd be used to this by now.

as a newbie, i've only played yandere(yeah), g-senjou no maou and am currently playing fate stay night

>>11855903
Nemu and haruka will save us

>>11855983
cool

>>11855983
Didn't they open the shops in akiba 12am for normal titles? It's not like there was any august/yuzusoft/clochette titles that would incentive any store to open 6am to the release anyway.

i can't read visual novels but i downloaded ones that looked cool for motivation to learn japanese

>>11856058
>Flyable Heart
I'm playing through this now, and for some reason that blonde 生徒会長 is more amusing than most of the heroines. I think I'll stop reading it after Sakurako and Mayuri's routes. They're the only ones who look interesting.

>>11856077
Hes second best girl after Maxx. Genius loli was pretty good, contrary to my expectations, so you should try that.

>>11856077
she looks really cute
that gives me motivation to keep learning
even days when i want to give up

>>11856089
But she acts like a dick almost all the time when around with the protag. Does she go full デレデレ like she did with Amane's mom in her route? If so, that'd be just great. She looked really cute and adorable at that time.

>>11856111
She does, it's exactly why I said contrary to my expectations. If you dislike her in the common routes definitely do her route.

I've been working on my backlog. Finished reading through the Muv-luv series(yes, years late to the party), good read. Though I didn't like a few of the characters and some unexplained stuff/plot holes, no other VN had made my heart thump that much for so long.
Now going through ef. I like all of the characters, and it makes everything so enjoyable.

>>11856058
I hope you actually bought lovepotion sixtynine. The guy who made it is pretty fun and needs your money to buy porn.

>>11856150
Did you go through cronicles? If yes, what did you think of it?

>>11856174
Dropped them halfway through chronicles 01, sorry for not clarifying. Might pick it up later though.

>>11856077
The best characters of the novel are Maxx and Prez by a huge margin, in the alternative version the batshit crazy family is good too, minus the blonde sister.

>>11856077
Ignore Mayuri route, go for Mayuri spinoff disk.

>>11856237
Is that one good? Because I didn't like her route at all, too much drama and little moe.

So I just reached the part in Himawari where Aries admits to having killed MC's family. Is it now that shit starts getting real?

so im fairly new to VN's only one ive gone through is KS. any one got any good ones to recommend? im some what interested in the stiens gate and maybe the fate/stay night one (hoping it will be better than the anime if i ever do play it.)

Currently playing through Swan Song, I know it's casual as hell but I never got round to it for some reason, can someone tell me roughly how much i'm through the game? We've just saved the girl getting raped and someone is stealing kerosene.

Also, is it bad I find myself relating so much to the guy with glasses?

>>11856318
There's some recommendations charts on google that ought to aid you, novels are more of personal taste, so try to stick to your favorites genres, try short stuff like Saya no Uta, Eden* and ones that was already translated by publishers like 999 and VLR, then you could try Flyable Heart, Tsuyokiss and Hoshimemo, etc.

>>11856350
thanks for the suggestions any place i can get them if you dont mind me asking? or would a simple Google search give me a place to DL them?

>>11856363
Couldn't you just google them to find out, idiot

>>11856363
Read the OP
>>/vg/59120469

Playing this with the himanatsu interface feels kind of weird. It makes me feel like I should actually buy the game or just wait for a real nodvd patch.

Is the common route of Grisaia no Kajitsu pretty long? 3/5 of the heroines get on my nerves, so it's a bit frustrating waiting to get onto a route.

>>11856703
That doesn't sound too good since the third game in the series features only the girls for over half of it.

Yeah, it is farily long. If you were to play the sequels, you would probably want to play all the routes, or at least Amane and Makina's ones (hopefully those are the ones you like, in that case)

>>11856719
Guess I'll just have to bear with it for now. I'm finding the world and the hints about MC interesting though, does the story eventually take a turn for the more serious? Sakaki and Michiru are the girls I'm liking, but I'm hoping that the others grow on me.

>>11856776
>does the story eventually take a turn for the more serious
Amane and Makina routes are plenty serious. Sacchi, Michiru and Yumiko are more your everyday eroge drama.
The flashback sequel hook Grand Route in Meikyuu gets the actual plot going.
Rakuen keeps constantly shifting between grimdark serious and humorous charage.

has anyone here read asairo? can anyone explained what happened in chapter 3, especially the part about momiji?

>>11856879
Been quite a long while since I read it so I may not be entirely correct. Might want to give this a read
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%85%E8%91%89%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC
Essentially Sasamaru and Hiyo were lovers in their previous lives and conceived a girl child together, who then got hunted down and killed as a witch. Her child (and thus their granddaughter) Waka who lived through the ordeal still resented Sasamaru for not being there for her mother and so decides to torment him in his next life.

>>11856150
How difficult is muv-luv to read. I'm currently slowly progressing through aiyoku no eustia so would it be a big bump in difficulty to go from that to the muvluv series?

Also is the first chapter in eustia super long?

>>11857006
>Also is the first chapter in eustia super long?
Since I happen to have the line counts handy, I can tell you that the first chapter relatively short at around 6k lines. The subsequent chapters are all longer by a few thousand lines.

I've been reading Yosuga no Sora. I just finished Kazuha's route and only Meido-san's & Sora's routes are left. I was wondering is the Motoka's route serious route at all because she hasn't shown anything interesting so far.

>>11857006
The real challenge in reading Muv-Luv is not falling asleep.

>>11857006
I'd say the first game was easy to read and around or under Eustia level. There are some fancy military words and speech styles in Alternative but it won't be too hard after you get used to it.

>>11857018
wow guess when they said the first game you read is a bitch they weren't lying.

>>11857056
Yes, I remember it taking me several moege before I could read at a halfway decent pace. Eustia isn't particularly hard, but it's not what I would have chosen for my first untranslated VN.

>>11857126
got a nice moege to suggest in that case? Probably will read a few of those whenever I'm finally done with eustia instead of going into the muv luv series.

>>11857166
You could try Daitoshokan. It's one of the better moege released last year and it's by the same writers as Eustia. I also enjoyed Yuzusoft's last couple of titles and you could pretty much read them in your sleep. But moege are ridiculously subjective and you'd be better off just searching VNDB/EGS with tags that you like and seeing what piques your interest.

I seriously fucking hate these "I just started reading my first VN in Japanese having a hard time :3", "Is this difficult to read?", "recommend something easy to read pls" -posts. This shit makes up like half the posts in these threads and it's just noise. Like anybody gives a shit about your epic quest of learning Japanese.

>>11857219
nyoro~n

>>11857219
People should learn when they are licked and stick to translated.

>>11857219
I agree. The only thing worse than those posts are the posts complaining about them.

>>11857219
You are grossly exaggerating how frequent those posts are. Even if you weren't, your whining about it solves nothing.

>>11857219
Just make a sort of guide reccomending the easiest title to read so people would just read it and don't post in the thread.

>>11857219
I just started reading my first VN in Japanese having a hard time :3
recommend something easy to read pls

>>11857277
Kansei
The Dandelion Girl
Analogue: A Hate Story
Katawa Shoujo

So played the BSZ2 mission trial. They atleast managed to fix few of the annoyances with the gameplay that I had, still not on the level of dives but going in right direction.

>>11856002
I hate how girlcelly never gives credit to original uploaders and everyone thinks he actually buys all those games

tone work's you so crazy.
I sincerely hope this game winds up being as long as they said it was going to be in the first live stream they did abut it.

>>11857922
>60
They did Hatsukoi 1/1, right? Were the H-scenes even halfway decent in that?

>>11857938
I thought so.
Though it varied somewhat by which of the three artists the character was drawn by.

>>11857241
Honestly, I think that with enough will, effort, and a considerable amount of grammar knowledge, you can actually pull yourself through a VN. For unknown kanji, either looking up or using a text hooker is more than enough. I even remember someone commenting here that started reading VNs and stopped studying japanese just 6 months after starting. It might be an exageration, but it's not really surprising that some people are able to learn the language just by bruteforcing their way through. Even then, I agree that asking for recommendations here is silly. Mainly because there's this thing called "archive".

How long is Daitoshokan? In otherwords, do you feel vndb approximation is accurate?

>>11858026
about 20-30 hours depending on your reading speed

>>11858026
It's around 60k lines, and I think around 2.6 MB if I remember correctly. A while back, I extracted the scripts to check, but I don't have them on this computer, so I'm not completely sure. It should be something around there though.

>>11857922
Game seems pretty ambitious, seems like they want to do the ultimate renai experience. Should be good, hope the protag will be better than the one from Hatsukoi 1/1.

So what do you do when you're finding yourself bored with a supposedly good VN but nowhere near the end? Do you force yourself to stick with until the end or set it aside and start a new one?

>>11858472
If I'm not enjoying something I'll generally stop playing for the night or whatever, and give it another shot after a couple of days. If I'm still not enjoying it I'll usually uninstall.
Generally I'll play something else in-between.

>>11858472
I don't like to leave things unfinished so I always finish no matter what.

Hookfsoft new game, Melt Moment, feels like a Fureraba, considering the writer of Fureraba also wrote some parts of it, according with the OP, and Hooksoft is the owner of smee it was obvious that they would use it those elements in their new novels. Another thing is that the childhood friend, Yuka, voice is annoying as hell and doesn't combine with the character.

>>11858472
The same thing with a boring book--I usually start skimming until a not-boring part.

Being slightly lost is a small sacrifice compared to regaining interest again. And usually it's not hard to get back on track.

If it gets to the point where I'm completely lost AND bored, that's when I drop.

>>11858684

That's actually a good strategy. A book/VN should be interesting no matter where you start reading. It isn't worth your time if the whole novel is just one big set up for some crazy plot twist.

Kissato might be sort of samey looking compared to other titles by the same artist, but at least everyone's hair looks so soft.

>>11858754
I think it's actually sort of amazing that they managed to make everyone look sameface even though they have 3 different artists.

>>11857922
Hopefully this means h scenes for side characters

>>11859203
mm she got big meat

>>11859157
When I went to the game's site to check the VAs I seriously had to make sure I didn't end up on the Kiss Bell or Hotch Kiss site by mistake, as the "main" heroine looks so similar to one from of those two.

>>11858472
I forced myself through WA2. It took forever and probably wasn't worth it even if there was some decent stuff near the very end.

Thought I'd study a bit moon playing Hanahira and... WTF is this translation?? There's so much fail here it makes my head spin... What the fuck am I doing wrong?

>>11859350
You're using a machine translator, that's what you're doing wrong.

>>11859350
Some kind of machine translator, I guess? Anyway, the sentence is really simple. If you can't comprehend Japanese on this level, you should probably stop playing and study more.

>>11859350
you should use ATLAS

>>11859359
Yes, I understand that much moon (the furigana and the voice helped). That's why I was surprised by the fucked up translation.
>>11859361
Thank you, kind anon. I'll go look for it. I thought this reader thingy I downloaded had it already or something. :-(

>>11859372
Don't use emoticons here dude, it is very rude.

>>11859372
Japanese is not Spanish; you're never going to get good results from machine translation. Just turn them off so you can actually learn.

I was going to grab the new syrup game but then I saw

カテゴリ：メリーゴーランド

>>11859517
The best ~

*sigh* another VN with retarded fixed resolution.

Why is this considered acceptable?

>>11859827
>*sigh*
You are not acceptable.

How good would you say Yuno translation is? I don't think my Japanese is good enough to handle a game of like it, but seeing it's the best/2nd best title in the industry, reading it in Japanese would be quite an experience.

>>11859861
>the best/2nd best title in the industry
I'm curious as to where you got that impression.

>>11859861
Moogy rated it's translation difficulty as "normal" in his translation tier, and I'd say his categories are reasonable, though some positions could be contested, such as Muramasa not being in impossible (not saying I think this, but people seem to hype it's difficulty at that point everywhere). So I guess that even if the translastion is not really good, it probably relies in the gameplay element than things such as writing. I haven't played it yet though so I'm using what people told me about it's gameplay aspects that are quite unusual and very interesting.

Is there a more erotic voice?

Does anyone know any place on the interbutts where us dirty foreign pig-dogs can buy Walkure Romanze More & More? Since the official DDL retailer is JP only.

>>11859878
EGS. It's either Yuno or WA2. Of course I don't know how it is rated here.

>>11859861
>best/2nd best title in the industry
Yu-no is good and all, but I really wouldn't go that far.

Anyway, I've heard people praise the translation, so it's probably safe.

>Ganaha
>Hiroshi's girlfriend

I fucking lost it at that scene.

>>11859878
His opinion might be skewed because a lot of creators usually cite it as an industry turnpoint/favorite work/inspiration for their own works. That and this >>11859916

Finished Bradyon Veda, yeah it was pretty nice.
Though it's really not a chuuni game, it's more like investigation + hard SF than anything.
Writing style is very straight-forward and "procedural" which I think worked well and fitted the atmosphere of the game most of the time, though it had the effect of making the fights scenes not as "explosive" than they possibly could be.
Anyways I don't have much complain about it, I guess the last part of Kaede's route was kind of weak

>>11859888
＞Moogy
Credibility lost.

Finished Wasuremono to Otoshimono. It was alright, though the ending was kinda convenient. I definitely like Shoin much better though.

>>11859350
>Amane-chan POO

By all means, keep playing. And post screencaps.

>>11860483

I don't think I was aware of Akatsuki Works until two days ago. Was that because I wasn't paying attention or were there earlier offers less notable?

>>11860804
Ruitomo and Comyu are quite popular around here so I suppose you just weren't paying attention. Comyu is even getting translated. Those are from different writer I believe though.

>>11860804
That's just you having a ginourmous eroge knowlegde gap. Go read Ruitomo jesus christ.

>>11855364
Just finished this. It started quite boring but as the past went uncovered it got more interesting. The end definitely made it worth it.

Funny that Ringo was probably who loved him the most, enough to "sacrifice" her love for his happiness. Fandisc with her route fucking when?

Done with Bradyon Veda too, after that post credits scene, I wants a super awesome sequel as soon as possible. Some of the science stuff went over my head, like the last battle in Shion's route, a bit too much for me even if I got more or less what happened.

For a random comment, it's kind of funny that the epilogue is referred as komoe's route in the scripts

I'm trying to read cross channel.
Is this shit teasing me? There are a lot of kanji I don't know, but the words with obscure kanji that I know are written in hiragana, fuck.

Sumire delusions in Melty Moment are almost equal to Shirley's in Amairo, no wonder since they have the same VA, also she's the only one who makes those as far as I remember.

>>11861756
I liked those. Perhaps I'll give Melty Moment a try.

>>11861756
>they have the same VA
Speaking of which, is there any decent database for searching VNs by VA?

>>11861799
Beautyplanets still works for most games.

I don't get why some VAs have so many aliases. I can understand having one for all-ages work and one for 18+, but some of them have dozens of aliases according to Beautyplanets. Doesn't that only limit their own marketability?

>>11861781
Keep in mind that she isn't like Shirley and have delusions all the time, but just three or four times. The game also isn't anything memorable and I'm only doing this route and then uninstall.

>>11861826
The characters they voice all have the same appearance, personality and voice, at least something must differ between them, so they change the name of the VA.

>>11861826
I can think of a few more reasons.
- They just want to play around with their names (車の人)
- Use a different name for games with hardcore content and softer games. (汐見凛 = 遠野そよぎ)
- Swich to a new name after some years, probably because consumers don't like to think of the young fictional characters as voiced by old women. (五行なずな → 北見六花)

>>11861889
Guys get the best ones, as a matter of fact.

giga ui is so awesome

Finished エーテルの砂時計, it's by the author of Hello, World which is why I tried it.
It was pretty short, probably less than 1mb of text
Anyways it was weird, at times (mostly during the fights) it was written pretty brilliantly, the protagonist was pretty awesome and there was a decent setting and plot somewhere but everything about the slice of life and heroines was pretty terrible, which is bad since the game itself has pretty huge focus on them with most of the actual narration being from them even.
The plot itself had potential but went far too fast to deliver anything substantial, it always kill me when a game like spend half of its time on inane slice of life while glossing over an actually really elaborated setting.

For other things, the game has a LOT of animations, during ero scenes or during the fights, the production values are pretty high, too bad the art is terrible so all that effort end up mostly for naught.

Anyways it's not a landmine, the second half of the game was pretty passable if too much on fast forward (game is mostly straight road by the way, you get to choose one of the 3 heroine in the last chapter but it changes pretty much nothing), the setting is nice and there was some decent moments (mostly with the protag messing with people) and some cool and pretty well written fights but it's not something I'd recommend.

http://www.muvluv.com/about.html
Is this really saying Kimi Nozo and Kimi Kisetsu happened in the same world as Muv Luv Extra? I always thought Age just felt like putting characters from those two in MLA for no special reason.

>>11862481
Yes.
Akane Maniax wasn't made to be a bridge between KimiNozo and Muv-Luv for no reason, you know.
Though, prior to KimiIta '11 there was basically no real connection between it and KimiNozo/ML/A aside from Michiru appearing in MLA and Shinji being the cousin of one of the minor characters but I'm not even sure if that was mentioned outright in KimiNozo or not.

So what are some upcoming hot title VN's that are coming out in the coming months? I only know of the Muramasa remake.

>>11863785
I think I did it, but you're right I should have gone with sequel.

Are there any decent Japanese eroge discussion boards? Not shitposting all day, but actual discussions (sometimes, anyway).

Seems like Japanese board culture is usually 99 people shitposting and 1 guy theorycrafting and announing the result of his work at the end and everyone else is amazed by him.

>>11863829
Because that's how it should be. Not this autismal "discussion" over some porn games that you like.

>>11863829
what's there to theorycraft about eroge?

>>11863838
I don't mean all day every day or anything, but I just feel like it sometimes. It's just annoying when there's absolutely nowhere to turn but /jp/ or something.
>>11863841
It was just an example for general 2ch-net culture, I guess. VNs would just be 考察 of whatever interesting plot elements. All I see overthere is usually something like
>1
>XXXのYYYシーンは神だった
>2
>二ゲット
>3
>禿同、あれはXYZの傑作だと思う
>4
>俄乙ｗ

Like they don't actually say anything about it, they just shit on it or praise it without saying why most of the time.

>>11863851
If I like it, it's good; if I don't it's shit. What else do you need? Do you want to counter my opinion and change my mind hah?

>>11863851
For indepth your best bet is blog reviews, if I'm not mistaken egs started linking to them on their pages. Of course, it varies wildly depending on the blog, you can find a few that actually analyze the story/writing decently enough but also some that just sound like vndb spergs

>>11863859

>>11864220
I wonder how it is, seems to be fully linear, super harem end?

>>11864239
Damn, that guy must really love tits.

>>11864245
I read some tweets in EGS 2 days ago that said it was fully linear, but then I read some guy's post in 2ch that implied it had more than a single route.

According to a review in EGS, it's indeed linear but it loops.

プロローグ→みずかルート→語り→杏鈴ルート→語り→由紀ルート→エピローグ選択肢なしの一本道シナリオでした。 ループものです。

>>11864288
I don't think the plot matters in a moetittyge.

12月のイヴ is out but it seems like it needs a crack. Bakuane nowhere to be seen (自炊 your ass, 2D.G.F.)
The titty-gods have forsaken me.

>>11864300
Maybe it has a proper plot, it can happen.

>>11864300
From the little I've read (just in case I actually feel like playing it, which I doubt will happen since I didn't really care much for the heroines), it seems like it's not a moege, a tittyge (not entirely, anyway) or a moetittyge.

Soyogi (Irene - Eustia, Hinata - LxC2, Sakuya - ren'ai 0kiro, etc) sounds so "bored" in Kiss Ato, this is slightly annoying me.

>>11864301
You had to wait for a month for KF2, you can wait a few more days for it and a dozen more for working cracks...

>>11864316
She always does though.

>>11864322
Fair enough, the last game I played that she had a route, Hitoren, she also sounded kinda off, but not this bad.

Guess I'm spoiled since I saw Hikaru (Neon) work in Gahkthun.

>>11864182
Haven't got far yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be another 'miss'.

>>11864316
That game is boring as heck, you can't blame her.

>>11856150
Aand finished latter tale, which destroyed me. I loved how everyone was connected to each other. What a kamige.

Playing through Eustia and got the final chapter. For some reason I seem to have lost all interest in it now though. It was engaging and nice to read up until and including Licia route but after that it just feels like it's moving along at a snail's pace and taking way too long get to wherever it's headed. I'm having to stop myself badly from not ctrl'ing through several parts so I just put it aside for now.

I don't really know why I suddenly find it rather boring though, maybe the reveals all came a bit too fast for the length that was remaining.

Time to work through the rest of my backlog until I feel like finishing it.

>>11864445
It's really like that, it takes a lot of time for anything to happen and it's the lowest point of the VN.
The last hour or two are good again though.

>>11859930
>Tsujido fandisk
>No Maple Witch Kaede-chan route

Could someone recommend me a moege? Preferably something with good h-scenes that can actually keep you interested past the first h-scene. Comedy might be nice too but I'm not expecting much.

I don't usually read moege and all I've read so far have been Daitoshokan, Dracu-Riot, Konosora and Hatsuyuki Sakura. Dracu-Riot is probably the closest to what I'm looking for but its story was kind of rubbish and bit long. Not really looking anything with a serious story but I don't really mind one if it's good.

>>11864636
Try other yuzusoft titles them, like Noble Works on Tenshin Ranma, though I suggest you play these ones over it...

遥かに仰ぎ、麗しの

>>11864636
Try the other Yuzusoft titles from Tenshin Ranman on I'd say.

I'm actually attempting to enjoy FSN for what must be the 4th time or more. I don't know if the hype put me off at first, but every few years I come back to it and find I still can't care about what this fucker is eating for breakfast. This time I'm enjoying it a lot more than ever before for some reason.

On a related note, who does the voice for this girl and what other anime/VN characters has she voiced?

Can someone recommend something with a nice delicious tomboy in? Preferably short-haired and tanned, bonus points for boku. It's my fetish.

>>11864683
Watch heartcatch precure, she voices the best girl in it.

>>11855492
Rob Liefeld has done a VN? My dream has come true.

>>11864311
Seems to have a somewhat interesting scenario and plot from some reviews that are up, coupled with hot ero like natsuzora.
Will probably end up reading it then, looks like it's around 20 hours, which is decent enough.

By the way, 2dgf just uploaded the new Minori game

http://sukebei.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=379962

>>11864721

Yeah but there is no crack atm.

>8.6 GiB

What the hell.

>>11864761
Japs are really bad at compressing their games.

>>11864761
There's an install crack in it, does it need anything else?

>>11864761
Such a large volume of tits take up lots of space.

>>11864721
Eh, I just want the music.
Too bad they probably changed the encryption again.

>>11864767
There's less impetus to do so since they don't still have 33k internet like most of America.

>>11863885

He had some great reaction sprites.
And his hair is so nice.

>>11864445
Seems like a lot of us are playing through Eustia recently. I just finished Licia's chapter myself. Licia herself is too adorable. Easily my favorite of the heroines. Though admittedly, Eris' crazy yandere mode was fun as well.

>>11857257
Yep, it's not so hard to make some public doc with easy-to-read stuff(like 1-10 difficulty rating) and just place that link in every op post. OR you can keep complaining, complains are actually not a rare sight here too.

>>11865012
I recognize that face.

>>11865064
Easy to read list:
- almost every nukige and moege.
Hard to read:
- everything else.

Here's the list. I look forward to not seeing requests for easy to read stuff ever again.

>>11865080
I agree here with you, but still it's not obvoius for many others. Guess, people need to be spoon fed.

>>11865064
You know what's also not hard? Searching the archive. I'd rather not spoonfeed faggots who aren't willing to make any effort to find what they want.

>>11865087
it just means there will be more "what there is easy to read" that way, I see no point to continue shitposting like "I'm tired of fagets". There they are and they aren't going anywhere till they get what they want, I guess it's either make it obvious for them in op post or ignore. No need to whine about them.

>>11865073

Anyone has a crack for Axanael? Got so hyped over it and then realised I couldn't even play it.

>>11865080
>I look forward to not seeing requests for easy to read stuff ever again.

How naïve.

>>11865093
Well, why don't you create the doc and people make their suggestions regarding the difficulty of the VN? That would take quite a considerable amount of discussion though.

>>11865080
That's a bit too generic.
You could at least try to write down decent to good moege titles, then some good entry level yet plot driven novels like sumaga or himawari.
Making a chart like the one used for translated titles would take 10 minutes at most and putting it on top would prevent useless posts.

>>11864761
Godamn 2014 and still complain about size file???
download your shit play and then delete faggot.

>>11865188
A coarser "rating" system of 1-5 instead of 1-10 would make it much easier to reach an agreement on difficulties. Or 1-5 and "beginner".

Yes, let's turn this into a /vg/ thread those never have people asking the same stupid questions every thread

>>11865209
Goddamn, it's 2014 and you still can't speak English.

>>11865107
Too bad he draws bodies like a God.

Just play any game you want and postpone it if its too hard for you. I'm pretty sure everyone here have far better internet than me, downloading things wont be a problem.

>>11865228
I bet my internet is more shit than your internet.

>>11865093

I made the same suggestion a few months ago but everyone shat on it. It's like people who are complaining about getting wet in the rain and yell at you if you recommend using an umbrella because according to them it shouldn't rain in the first place.

I can understand the frustration, but bitching isn't going to solve anything.

>>11865216

>>11865228
What's the point of doing it?
Besides you know people prefer to ask for reccomendation, to avoid shit and stuff.
Making a chart would be a piece of cake, especially for those who read more then 20 novels per year.
>>11865204 sumaga and himawari for plot driven story, but I haven't read moege so I can't really suggest anything relevant.
The only one I started is lovely x caution 2 and it should be in the chart.
Then there is flyable heart which is supposed to be easy but I didn't read it.

>>11865334
This chart is off to a great start.

>>11865334
Flyable heart is super easy, so is himanatsu from last year too.

Just started this.
Who thought these text boxes were a good idea? What's the point of drawing facial expressions when you then proceed to place text over them?

>>11865334
>Making a chart would be a piece of cake
Go ahead an make it then.

>>11865385
No one did, you just forget about them i a couple of hours just like in every NVL.

>>11865385

NVL isn't really that uncommon. But yeah, I don't really like it either.

>>11865386

>>11865386
As I said it's something only novel readers can do in few minutes.
I can only suggest, say, 6 titles at most.
Lovely x cation 2, flyable heart, hanahira for moege.
Axanael, sumaga, himawari for plot driven novels.
Never read untranslated nukige, so I can't talk about them. I guess bishoujo mangekyou should be fine.
>>11865358
If you don't like this idea then don't complain when you find dozens of "which novel is easy to read" posts.
I'm only starting it to avoid them.

>>11865417
One guy complained, then people complained about him complaining. Biman is probably on the harder end of he spectrum for nukige.

>>11865430
Harder for a nukige, average compared to moege right?
He's not the first anon who complained even though it's the only one in this thread, and it's true such posts could be avoided with a simple chart.

If we were to make a chart just for "babby's first" VNs, not for higher levels of Japanese, >>11865417 seems like a solid start. Maybe a total of 5-8 titles each for moege and plot-driven?

You people are goddamn retarded.
The reason why this whole reading diffiulty chart thing is looked down upon here is that it makes no sense. People who ask for "easy to read" stuff make no sense. You're either proficient in the language to a high degree or you aren't. The novel either contains a lot of highly specific/artsy vocab/writing or (in most cases) it doesn't. These are the only somewhat meaningful distinctions that can be made. If your Japanese is shit Flyable Heart is going to give you trouble just like everything else.

>>11865459
>Maybe a total of 5-8 titles each for moege and plot-driven?
It's not a matter of number, just suggest as many titles as you can think about and then someone will pack them in an image or a text file.
Quantify their difficulty is more tedious and can be skipped.

>>11865473
I dunno, I think most people could read Flyable Heart significantly faster than Muramasa.

>>11865473
But if you've just learnt Japanese you can't try reading asairo or albratross, while flyable heart could be understable.
It's obvious you have to know something about Japanese in order to read an easy moege otherwise you won't get anything, but there are titles more accessible for novices due to their relative simple prose or writing style.
I don't think your first untranslated novel was a liar soft game.

>>11865473
Somehow I'm a bit doubtful that Flyable Heart will give someone with bad Japanese just as hard a time as KKK.

Just read manga if you want something easy. By the time you can read manga quickly and without needing to look up words you won't have any problems with any VN.

>>11865473
If you think Muramasa and Flyable are on the same level, as far as their kanji's use and structure are concerned, then you are the retarded.
>>11865459
I'd say to choose about 8-10 moege, 8-10 plot-driven and a bunch of fine nukige.
I would propose Ren'ai 0 Kilometer as well.

Finally my boob (with some plot) time is here.

>>11865492
>>11865495
>>11865516
>>11865519
>The novel either contains a lot of highly specific/artsy vocab/writing or (in most cases) it doesn't.
Fucking Einsteins, guess where Muramasa, Albatross and KKK belong. In the category that makes up 0.001% of eroge. FH is not easier or harder to read than a bazillion other eroge to any meaningful degree. "Man, I blazed through FH like some native speaker but Daitoshokan was goddamn unreadable" said no one ever.

>>11865558
Wait, when did people say Flyable heart and Daitoshokan were different difficulty?

>>11865558
It's easier to upload a chart than people trying to recommend stuff to others or telling them to get out. One would need one reply, the others, quite a few, and some butthurt people. These guys won't stop coming, so why not simply make a recommendation chart filled with a few moege to make them go out to read them?

>>11865567
please

>>11865549
Please report on the boob:plot ratio. I require a delicate balance or it gives me a rash.

>>11865574
What's your ideal?

>>11865567
Because they already have the fucking resources they need. Just go to vndb, sort by popularity or rating, and pick something that looks easy to read. If it ends up being too hard, pick a different one. Why do you even need a chart?

>>11865577
2.5:1 but I am using imperial boob measurements.

>>11865583
What's the conversion factor from Imperial to Metric for tits again?

>>11865580
I don't need one, I just think it's easier to drive them off like that. People are retarded and too lazy to go to VNDB and other websites to find easy to read eroge, so they come here crying about how they need easy to read titles. So throwing out a chart in the OP would be much easier instead of this repetition of "I hate how people come here and ask for recommendations".

>>11865549
Strange that the Musica(engine) mark isn't there.

>>11865586
1.35 boobs to a boob

>>11865583
Pretty boobtastic, the oppai part of this line is used as font model in the options.

>>11865558
You're still wrong.

>>11865699
Nice ステマ

>>11864861
Based on the little bit I've read, it's not particularly interesting. The only heroine I'm even a bit interested in is Arisa so hopefully her route isn't too bogged down by drama.

That said I would have instantly gone for a Kyouko route if there was one, so I read the bad end.

Fuck

>>11865781

How do you usually decide which new eroge releases to read?

>>11865789
Dart board

>>11865789
If I like the company/scenario writer(s)/main artist(s)/seiyuu, I might give it a try. Otherwise, I tend to ignore new releases unless I hear something about them that makes them sound interesting.

>>11865789
If there's a heroine that looks / sounds interesting that's enough for me

Is that only me or the characters actually remind me of the characters from some anime? I remember something like this was out in the previous year but I've dropped it in the second half and kind of forgotten how was it called.

Looks like everything can work out if you just change the color of the hair.

Done with アクセラ in レミニセンス. Probably the route with the most punch so far, especially the thing with 杉村 came out of nowhere for me. But there's something I didn't got - who stabbed 秀隆? Am I simply too sleepy or was it really not explained?

>>11865558
There are moege which are rather simple to read if you're already used to ready Japanese, otherwise the slang used could throw you off.
There are many levels of difficulty, saying that novels are either impossible to read or easy is simplisticas well as wrong.

Is dracu-riot fine as my first Japanese novel or should I start with something easier?

>>11867238
Probably is. But why don't you just try it yourself? You can tell if something is too hard or too easy for you from the very beginning of almost every VN because writers put the most effort in the very beginning most of the time.

>>11867252
Because I would have to download more than 3 gb just to try it out and my internet connection sucks.
Moreover I don't know if the beginning is simple and slice of life-ish and then it becomes the real deal after a while, and I would prefer to end a novel I started if possible.

>>11867271
You can rest assured that no yuzusoft vn will ever be "real deal".

>>11867300
Real deal that is genre shift or suddenly full of abstruse kanji used to look more serious.

>>11867271
"Read deal" hardly matters if it is your first eroge because you will misunderstand most of it anyway.

Does anyone know how compatible ITH and TA are with other programs? I'm trying to use it with /vg/'s Blade&Soul at the moment, and I'm also wondering about PCSX2.

>>11867939
I'm sorry, I guess should've said that it was the one where I fuck your mom.

Is that Madou Koukaku game any good? Is there forced sex?

>>11868083
decent if you patch it, has a few faults
yes every heroine has a consensual and rape scene, you can choose what to go for

>>11868091
Mainly what I was meaning, is if I am pursuing one specific heroine, is the protag going to be having sex with other random girls? Or is this a linear game? I mainly just want a game with a medieval-ish setting which this seems to have.

>>11868094
ah yes i'd like to ask this too.is it linear game or is there some routes? if there is,how many is there?

>>11868094
The protag is general/king think about few seconds what that leads in SLGs. So yes you are going to fuck almost every heroine at some point, there are 3 "routes" and depending which heroines flags you setup you can get their invidual endings after the route is over.

>>11867959
I see you are. Take your epik surprise boxes to /a/, pls.

>>11868305

Could I get a recommendation, or a tag, for a VN with a heroine that is really dedicated to the protagonist, like Rena from Onikakushi? As you can see from the example, all I want is a scene. These are ones I played that fit the category: http://vndb.org/u63414/list

>>11870173
>Asairo
You've already read the best there is in that regard.

>>11870173
Try Itsusora.

>>11870254
Not him, but does Itsusora also have a character like Hiyo?
Also, I've heard that reading that requires extensive knowledge of norse mythology. How true is that?

>>11870260
The character is not that evident till you get to her route. About norse mythology, it's more enjoyable the more you know by the end, but it explains enough.

>>11870254
Thanks, checking it out.

>>11870260
If you want another Hiyo try Meguri, Hitohira.
It literally has proto Hiyo, same looks, same VA, similar personality

>>11870352
Wouldn't Hanene in tenshihane count too then? She went to great lengths for Ayame.

Has anyone checked how many unique kanji KKK has? Does it win Albatross?
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=VN/Eroge_Script_sizes

>>11870369
Tenshihane was too much of a disappointment for me to personally recommend it to anyone who has read some of Shumon's better games.

>>11870512
A couple of the routes (Hikaru and Hanene) were quite good, it was the my fourth shumon game and it was quite ejoyable.
Would have been a lot better with better closure in the true route, that said.

>>11870502
>Aiyoku no Eustia has 2454 unique kanji
Are these values accurate?

>>11870547
They should.

>>11870547
For Eustia, that kind of makes sense because of its setting and how it handles some of the more political things about it.

new thread?

New thread
>>11870872
>>11870872

>>11870502
When you use completely broken kanji pronunciations that only work in a religious context which hasn't changed for centuries and maybe even millenia, yes. It probably beats Albatross easily.

>>11870547
Why wouldn't they be? It just means it uses the base language plus an extra couple hundred "rarer" kanji spread across 40 something hours.
