/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>12101875

I'm actually about halfway through the last chapter of SubaHibi now. This has been one hell of a ride, I have no clue what to expect for the ending.

I'm playing Yume Miru Kusuri right now. It's only the second visual novel I've ever played--Katawa Shoujo being the first.

>>12101893
I stopped in the middle of the second chapter. Gotta come back to it one day.

>>12101893
The endings don't disappoint, that's for sure (you'll probably like at least one of them; i like the one with the philosophical ramblings).

>>12101917

Damn, you stopped before you even got to the real story. It's certainly worth reading, I've had a great time with it so far.

>>12101917
Yes, you should. Invention was probably my favorite chapter.

And to everyone's surprise:

『レミニセンス-Re Collect-』を５月３０日発売予定から６月２７日発売予定へ変更させていただく事になりました。ご迷惑をおかけ致しますが、ご了承のほどよろしくお願いいたします。詳しくはてぃ～ぐるＨＰをご覧ください。

>>12101960
>surprise
heh

Really?

>>12101960
The only title was looking forward for next month... guess I'll have to cope with the new akabe then.

>>12101960

Well, I expected it but it still pisses me off. Hopefully the new Clochette doesn't get the same treatment.

I will say though, playing IMZ right after a Rance game really makes me appreciate how Alicesoft cuts out the bullshit that pervades JRPGs. Not that Eushully's writing would really be good either way, haha.

Like honestly who wants to read the protagonist whine about how sad he is that he has to FIGHT and SHED BLOOD in order to protect people? And just go on and on about how he wants all the people in the world to be able to ~live happily~, does anyone actually find this compelling?

Rance is such a fucking good character because he doesn't give a shit about hypocritical nonsense like this. I guess I'm just getting too old to care about generic JRPG writing like this, I need characters who have some sort of personality/goal.

-Moogy
Sorry, but this was just too funny to leave alone.

I'm crying

>>12102201
>Rance is such a fucking good character
topkek/10

>>12102219
if this is the best response you can argue against that with, i guess moogy must be right

>>12102201
The lord has spoken.

>>12102222
I can't wait until Moogy starts praising rape nukige as pinnacles of VN writing because the MC has a personality (strong manly rapist) and a goal (rape all the girls).

>>12102244
honestly nukige are more original than most moege

they're still shit

>>12102208
由岐ねぇ best ねぇ

>>12101994

>>12102318
Is this a Subahibi quote thread now?

ナンデモナイヨ、タダ、マミヤクンガトビオリタダケダヨ

>>12102201
Not surprising, Mugi announced that Rance is absolutely better than IM many times even before actually playing any of IM games, and he didn't even reach ch3 in Zero yet.
Typical fanboyism.

>>12102201
>Like honestly who wants to read the protagonist whine about how sad he is that he has to FIGHT and SHED BLOOD in order to protect people?
I don't remember Celica doing that.
I don't remember any JRPG protagonist doing that. Most of them do not even fight against human beings, so it's unimaginable that thay could even talk about things.
Actually I don't remember any RPG protagonist doing that.
But I recall Kira Yamato being like that, maybe you subconsciously project him everywhere? That's some devotion to our Lord and Saviour.

>>12102201

>>12102201
This guy went full retard. If you didn't posted the spoilered part I would fell for this bait, shame on me.

Anyway, I'm playing RIX now and saying rance is such a good character hurts, even the other characters from the game go almost every ten lines saying "what the fuck is wrong with this guy", might as well pick one of those 催眠 nukiges Mc swap them and you would have the same shit.

クソゲー general

>>12101893
I can't masturbate to this. Why are their bodies so weird?

Damaged goods?
Fucking dropped.

Alright can someone tell me when the tension in Grisaia starts?
I'm no stranger to VNs but even then I can't sit through 20+ hours of uninterrupted slice of life with zero choices. I'm at day 22/6, I think.

>>12102557
Just find a different game to play. Seriously, there's no need to force yourself to play a game you don't like.

>>12102556
I guess it takes a true patrician to appreciate damaged goods. Best heroine.

>>12102557
If you haven't seen any choices yet you still have a ways to go.
And the routes suck, so if you're forcing yourself through the common route you're probably better off dropping the game. Most people like Grisaia for the common route it seems (I think it sucks too).

>>12102201
Is there some kind of rule that you have to shit on Eushully if you like Alicesoft and vice versa? I've never seen anyone like both.

>>12102576
I'm Eushully fan who generally likes AliceSoft games.
But its indeed true for Alicesoft fans, they universally hate all other gameplay brands.

>>12102557
>when the tension in Grisaia starts?
At the end of Meikyuu.

>>12102588
And then it stops at the start of Rakuen.

>>12102591
Yeah, almost finished Rakuen, and its weird that it feels more relaxed and comedy than Meikyuu despite the situation. I'm at final Yuuji vs Yuuji fight now, so I expect some cool shit at least here.

Does 13人の麗しきケダモノ really only have 17 ero scenes? I thought it was supposed to be a nukige? If it's not something I'd play to fap I'm going to put it on hold until I finish my current non-nukige.

Just finished World's End Economica I.

[spoilers]Why? Just why? ;_;[/spoilers]

>>12102650
Cool surprise box, your bros at /a/ are proud of you.

Finished with Aiyoku no Eustia and the first appendix I read just rubs things in, with Caim talking about how the only way he can ever spend time with Tia is in his dreams. All the other heroines get very happy endings, while Tia gets completely shafted. Then again, there was no other way it could end after all the build up to it. Still, doesn't really ease the feeling of emptiness made worse by the appendix.

I think I'll need to play some moege now.

>>12102605

Yes, it's their anniversary product so they did something different to their usual nukige.

>>12102576
I like both and played most of both (finished GnK 2 but haven't gotten to Verita and Memoria yet). Anyway, it's stupid to compare Celica and Rance since the settings are so different, and what Moogy complained about is idiotic since that aspects of Celica rarely came up again after he became God Slayer Celica.

>>12102576
Not all Alicesoft fans are Rancefags.

>>12102723
>>12102576
I don't understand people who call themselves fans of a company.
Both Alicesoft and Eushully make good and bad games, isn't alright to simply enjoy the good ones? Why the need to feel biased for or against a company?

At 85% point of Rakuen main story, there's finally cool Yuuji scene. Reading through 3 games was totally worth it.

>>12102662
I agree, but even then, that appendix really should've been a part of the main story. As it is, some people may have even missed it and as such not got the entire impact.

By the way, the other heroines' happy ends aren't exactly very happy when you consider that the floating city would collpase any moment once the angel's power runs out.

>>12102605
They're not very long, either, and it's either ichaicha or brutal rape as far as I've seen. I definitely wouldn't count it as a nukige.

>>12102766
But brutal rape is saikou nuki material.

>>12102576
I like both, i also like dual tail. Need more Magic love

I like Eushully, AliceSoft, Dual/Tri/Ninetail, SHChara.
Only gameplay company I don't really like is giga.

>>12102767
I agree, but sadly nukige rape usually ends in mindbreak and all that jazz. Hence why I think it's not nukige-ish. (In fact, they're so brutal it borders on guroge.)

>>12102576
While I do prefer eushully games overall, I also enjoy rance series and also played other Alicesoft games.

The problem I have with Rance is that he's a bad character and puts me off a lot of times despite having such a great setting, usually the other characters compensate for it.

>>12102850
Not to start some kind of argument but the Eushully games usually are full of shit characters too, mostly because the writing in them is usually so bad.
Eushully compensates with gameplay so that's okay in my book

>>12102871
They are still better than one-trick pony rance.

what non-nukige eroge does /jp/ think has the best sex scenes?

>>12102872
Not really.
Rance is a good vehicle to get the story going and the Rance series has such a huge cast of characters with a lot of them being recurrent across several games too, it has pretty much one of the most memorable cast in eroge.

In the IM series for example the only characters I could give a damn across the series are Haishera, Rita and Naberius.
The entire cast in Louie side is extremely bland and forgettable and most of the new cast in Memoria is shit.

>>12102877
Clochette titty-ge, Ricotta games and the Cation -series are more useful for fapping than most proper nukige to me..

>>12102882
> The entire cast in Louie side is extremely bland and forgettable
Either shit taste or you didn't play GnK1/2.

>>12102888
Minori's titty-ge work to.

>>12102877
Although this is leaning on the edge a little bit, Astronauts: Spica works are pretty good for that

>>12102888
what is titty-ge?

>>12102889
I agree with him, most of Louie's cast is shit, especially Karian.
Fuck that bitch, I don't understand why she's a major character in Verita.

>>12102889
I read the novel of GK1 and played GK2.
Sorry but the cast is forgettable as hell, I don't even remember most of them. Most of the characters never do anything cool once they get into Louie's harem anyways and the antagonists like Ekria that seem pretty interesting and menacing at the start end up self-destructing, in the end the only character I still liked was the undine and I can't even remember her name.
GK2 is a good Fire Emblem clone with a surprising about of content but the cast isn't its forte, well at least it had better writing that Kamidori/Soukoku no Arterial/Memoria I'll give it that

>>12102895
Just look up カミカゼ☆エクスプローラー！ or プリズム◇リコレクション！ on getchu or something, and look at the character designs

>>12102877
Personally, I always judge by character, not by title, whether it's a nukige or not.

Ow wow, there are choices in Rakuen.

Finished Demonion 2. Ehh, just like the first game it's probably one of the mightiest works in the industry when it comes to the porn but they took the game in a really weird and (to me) unappealing direction. The first game was kind of "classy", I mean, about as classy as a fuck fest with this kind of premise can be. Astaroth was a proper Maou, an ancient evil conquering all the lands and women, no bullshit, only fucking into submission and conquering because that's what a Maou does. Caim is just a degenerate Rance-like perv "playing" Maou and the heroine selection and H-scenes reflect that.

This girl was great though, the perfect bonus heroine /reward.
She's some kind of outer-dimensional higher god-like existance with a mouth and pussy that are windows to the universe and she uses her time/space/reality warping powers to provide otherworldly orgasms leading to enlightenment.
Her whole concept is some creative shit, I'm in awe.

Is there a way to see what appends you've installed in LxC2? I installed a bunch but I can't remember where I left off.

>>12103229
Check the install folder, they are numbered or named.

>>12103229
the appendx are after histories, just open the game and check the months you don't have events

>>12103232
Thanks a lot, it looks like they're numbered by month which is helpful.

>>12103250
Haven't finished a route yet unfortunately.

Does the existence of an anime adaptation ever affect your VN habits?

Higurashi made me want to play the game, but LB and WA2 kinda made me put the games on the backburner. I'm not really quite sure why.

>>12103369
Yes. If I know there's an anime adaptation coming out I try to play the VN as soon as possible because people suck at not spoiling things. If it's an older game that already got an anime adaptation, I just ignore the anime and play the VN if and when I feel like it.

Rakuen ending is totally disappointing.
Yuuji "just appeared" on island. No "happy reunition" or anything, just half-assed excuse that he was busy clearing up shit. Seriously, wtf?

And there's total 0 h-scenes in this scenario.

Doing afterstory and then will do omake and other scenarios, but overall Kaijitsu feels by several degrees better game than both Meikyuu and Rakuen.
Well, there were plenty of cool scenes in Rakuen, so after all I dont regret picking it, but I've expected much more.

>>12103378
Also, forgot to mention. Bad End was quite good, they should've made that one to be true end instead.

>>12103369
I don't watch anime like an entry level nerd, so no.

>>12103565
But his question has nothing to do with watching anime.

>>12103565
I read and watch everything imaginable.

It's not like you can totally separate otaku culture by medium anyway, VNs and anime reference each other all the time.

>>12103376
Isn't the true reason that you can spoil plebs who haven't played the game?

I tend to drop every anime after 2 - 3 episodes so I gave up on it. Eroge is time consuming enough though so I don't really need another turbonerd hobby.

Why is there no あきら route?

>>12103616
Flyable candyheart.

>>12102760
Tia gets used as a replacement for the angel in all the other routes, so the city wont collapse anytime soon.

I love kansai-ben, on any character, a lot.
There should be an eroge properly set in kansai.

>>12103705
watch lovely complex, the closest you will get

>>12103712
I did. Same with inari kon kon a season ago, so good to listen.

>>12102201
Not to restart this argument, but really, IM0 is all about how he grows out of his pacifist mindset. Its like picking up a Bildungsroman and wondering why the protagonist in question isnt yet mature in the beginning of it.

>>12103721
Didn't watched this one, is it good aside kansai?

>>12103736
Pretty shoujo, but if you follow it with the manga is solid as the anime ends in a kinda iffy place without confessions and stuff.
Uka is a goddess though, both literally and otherwise, but she doesn't kansai ben.

>>12103745
Uh, thanks. Guess I'll watch/read it later since I already finished my vns of the month and next month there's nothing, at first sight, interesting.

>>12103753
Futekikakusha, aside from some art issues, should be interesting, the constant delays don't seem promising though.
I'd read sakikage generation but I fucking hate the clochette face. Majo koi nikki may be decent if the writer decides to give a shit about the side routes this time around unlike in hatsuyuki.

>>12103753
>>12103766
Yeah, I'm mainly looking forward to Futekikakusha and Majokoi, though not enough to read before reading some impressions. Sakigake, Happiness Emotion, and Golden Marriage for moege. Also a few nukige (Saiminjutsu Re, Chou Saiminjutsu Gakuen, and new Kiss game). Not a great month for me but it could be worse.

>>12104001
>Saiminjutsu Re
I kinda want to pick this up but it seems like the original had quite a lot of NTR? I like netori and half of the time I don't mind it much but netorare+hypnosis is offputting.

>>12103378
>>12103389
Yeah, the bad end was fairly interesting. I wouldn't have minded getting more focus on it.

They just shoved all the H scenes into the Afterstory, so don't expect too much from that part.

And the Prologue is a decent read, or at least I enjoyed it anyway.

Since seeing yesterday announcement of eiyuu senki western ps3 release I have a serious question.
What's the point of playing this if you can't give a d to alexander.

>>12104148

Some crazy mofo will extract the script and make a patch for the PC version.

>>12104163
no need for, I just wondered is that game has such a good story so that they can rip all the h-scenes(which I thought were a selling point here, it's not like you can fug russian emperor in any other game) and still sell it and even get some profit.

>>12104177
>historical figures turned into moe moe girls that you can pseudo romance and some gameplay!
Put it into steam and retards will flock to it.

>>12104177
Having ero in it would probably make it sell less in the west.

>>12104181
ugh, whatever, as long as it helps developers make new games

>>12104183
Of course, do you want your kids to be seeing naked boobs and get traumatized for a lifetime?

>>12104183
Would an eroge through some miracle somehow end up on Steam, I'm sure it would sell due to the sheer novelty of it all alone.

>>12104183

MangaGamer sells more 18+ titles than the corresponding all-age titles.

>>12104399
>some miracle
More like a curse.

>>12103662
For some reason, I never thought of this possibility. Seems obvious enough, though, since Caim left Tia with that monster Lucius.

What did you guys think of Monobeno?

I picked it up the other day on a whim and I'm really enjoying it. Extremely relaxing, great visuals, and the soundtrack fits perfectly too. I'm also really liking the youkai themes and its satiating my lolicon sweet tooth quite well.

>>12105431
I thought it was pretty boring and the writing wasn't particularly good. I ended up dropping it fairly early into one of the routes.

>>12105431
>>12105443
I dropped it within the first hour. Nothing in it seemed particularly interesting and the girl in the middle is practically borderline toddler which is going a bit too far for me.

>>12105451
Yeah, that too. It felt way too pedo for me.

>>12102877
What said >>12102888
I also want to add Marmalade and Trumple too.
The latter only has one title, but I still haven't read the VNs from its predecessor though.

>>12105451
>>12105453
This more to your liking?

>>12105431
What's that triangular thing that doesn't want to eat whales?

>>12105511
Umbrella.

>>12105516
Why does it talk?

>>12105519
Magic.

>>12105519
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa-obake

>>12105523
Japanese demon myths are so fucking weird.

>>12105526
Very. http://youkaidays.web.fc2.com/youkai009/manga000.htm

>>12105431
I thought it was pretty nice as a simple charage. Great production values, cute lolis, bad puns, Japanese mythology, and plenty of scenery porn and, well, regular porn. Just don't go in expecting an amazing plot.

>>12105495
Still preferable to pedoshit

>>12105549

But Sumi is already 20 years old, she's not even human to boot. The only real loli is Natsuha.

You shouldn't be so judgmental.

>>12105575
I haven't even read this, but that talking umbrella irritates me and I want to break it.

>>12105587
Well your opinion is shit.

>>12105587

He's great, fuck you.

>>12105602
I want to cut off that long tongue.

I have a question about Aiyoku no Eustia.

It seems like there is a patch available. Does the game have an online updater and can I use it to obtain the patch?

>>12106247
No, and no. Use holyseal.

I've been eyeing up Amatsukaze, but that game apparently has a prequel of sorts. Is it required reading? If not, any digest of it online? Cant be arsed to go through another 50 hours game first, they dont seem to have much thematically in common either.

>>12106879
>Amatsukaze
They are standalone games, so it doesn't really matter if you play Kikaijikake, you will miss some connections here and there, but that's it.

I prefer Amatsukaze, but both games are great, so I don't think you were wasting 50 hours of your time in a bad game.

>>12106879
Kikaijikake no Eve is pretty nice game itself, you should read it some point too although it really isn't for everyone and is quite different from Amatsukaze. But it isn't really necessary to read as they aren't that connected or anything, you'll miss some small connections and thematic related things near the end that makes things bit more cool if you understand the connections, but nothing major that would ruin the experience.

13人の麗しきケダモノ was excellent, far better than what I expected.

I really liked Rei, and Kanade had a great beginning with her jabs about Mamoru's 竿 but sort of disappointed me later on. Maki's route, on the other hand, didn't make me feel sorry for her in the slightest. I felt like an idiot for even going down that route, I wouldn't even try it but I thought maybe it would make me like her despite her being the 悪魔. It's a real kick in the dick for the player, but at least it's better than a she sent all my friends to their deaths, but we're rabu-rabu so it's okay ending.

The bad ends (especially Rei's, because you see far more of it) were also shockingly cruel, even though the previous scenes had raised the bar quite high. They do a great job in making you feel like a merciless dick for going there.

>>12107003
Forgot to mention that I was surprised by Maki having no good ends at all, but I guess it fits into the cruel atmosphere of the game.

>>12106879
Thematically they are actually connected but it's not something you can understand unless you see the true end of both game

>>12107003

I started it a couple of moments ago and the opening scene is hilarious. Makes hope for more.

My adolescence all over again. Thank you, Japan.

>>12107376
Whenever I see that line, it makes me think that the girl can't possibly not know how famously bad it makes men feel. So she's saying it on purpose.

Also, after you're done with one route, you may want to have a look at these scenes again.

>>12107400
>you may want to have a look at these scenes again

Sounds ominous.

How long is the game anyway?

>>12107404
You bet it is.

It's not too long, there are only three routes with the splitting point pretty close to the end. I went through the second and third ones today.

Also, for later, remember to play around with the ossan's talk icon, it helps you get some optional h-scenes. Whenever something costs more than one action point, it contains CGs.

>>12107418

Alright, thanks.

>>12107376
source?

>>12107431
The new mink game.

>>12107437
ah i see its that nukige which everyone talks about,thank you.

>>12107442
You really can't call it a nukige.

>>12107442
It's not a nukige. I had the same impression when I went into it, but...nope.

It's more of a guroge/horrorge/mysteryge.

Just finished Tsukihime and Plus Disc, now I'm onto Kagetsu Tohya.

I played through The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno and Saya no Uta. MRAVSI was okay, but I was really blown away by Saya. I'd forgotten what the synopsis said so I went into it completely unprepared. I came this close to vomiting, it was great.

>>12107757
Yea, Saya no Uta gave me the shakes as well. Currently reading Higurashi, and plan to read Phenomeno sometime afterwards. I don't know what to expect, but that's a good thing, right?

>>12107787

FUCK THEM FOR NEVER FINISHING THAT.

FUCK THEM SO HARD.

(That is all, continue on).

>>12107400
Whats the line, I play with machine translators.

>>12107816
`'"'the pleasure of cumming inside'"'

>>12107819
You shouldn't lie to him like that.

It was "The pleasure of being came inside". It was a girl saying it after all, how can a girl cum inside something?

>>12107822
I see you're new to this Japan thing.

>>12107816
It appears you play with machine punctuators, as well.

>>12107791
Just buy the light novels, man.

Hey /jp/, I have a question.

I'd like to make a VN, but I suck at writing, therefore I'm looking for a writefag to make a Touhou harem thingy.
But I understood I need to make a small VN to prove I can do shit and that I'm not all talk.

So yeah, what should I do, given I can't write?
I though about making a documentary VN giving informations about supernatural monsters. Do you think it'll work?

>>12108492
Discussion of OELVNs is against /jp/ rules. There's OELVN thread at >>>/vg/, ask there.

>>12108502
My apologies.

Thank you for pointing me to the right thread.

>>12108505
I meant board.

About to try さくら、咲きました。 Anyone read it and care to weigh in? I quite like end of the world-type scenarios but most of them tend to ignore it in favor of the usual fluff. Up until the very end, anyway.

I want to read Phenomeno but I hope the game doesn't end on some sort of cliffhanger.

>get a new laptop with Windows 8 installed
>most of my VNs no longer work

Thanks, Microsoft...

>>12108826
Windows XP is the best for VNs

>>12108826
Dude, people have been saying Win 8 is shit. Have you not been paying attention?

>>12108826

Upgrade to Win 7.

>>12108826
Who are you epicmemearrowing?

>>12108826
I just had to reinstall most of them, and some needed a windows 8 patch. Every single one of them works now, and I currently have 70 VNs installed.

>>12108820
Is an introduction to the light novels, but works as a self-contained chapter, so don't worry.

>>12108867
Sweet. Thanks.

Other than erogamescape are there any similar sites you guys use?

>>12109101
VNDB

>>12109117
it has barely any activity on japanese only games though.

>>12109121
I mostly only go there to find things to read, I place little faith in their ratings and reviews.

>>12109121
Which is why EGS is the best aggregation site in that regard. It only needs a complete interface overhaul to be good, but the japanese seem to be stick 10 years ago in web development.

http://vndb.org/v3249

A /jp/ made VN. Those days are never coming back.

What the christ have I gotten myself into?

>>12109386
A pretty fun and extremely yuri game.

>>12109386

>>12109397
Isn't it a doujin game? It's got some neat effects like the character introductions and the little skits. Wasn't expecting this level of shiny things.

>>12109411
It makes up for that by being really short and having some pretty bad VA's/sound mixing.

>>12109415
Yeah the voices aren't great, but it's bright and colorful and funny and that's really all I want right now.

>>12109415
It's also pretty buggy. You can crash it every time by trying to load from a blank slot. I didn't expect much from a doujin game though, so the bugs didn't really bother me.

>>12109429
Huh, that actually works.

Tsubame was incredibly, incredibly cute, I just love deredere with a dash of lewd and Tsubame and Yuuto played each other great, really neat chemistry between the two that made for some really emotional and romantic scenes.
Great route too, really liked it, makes me want to play Izumi afterwards though.

>>12108838
>Dude, people have been saying Win 8 is shit.
And the only thing they have to say is
>muh start menu!
which is irrelevant to VNs. VNs work just fine in 8. New ones work out of the box, and out of the old ones that don't, a lot have gotten patches. Unless you read only the most obscure old doujin crap, you shouldn't have problems.

I can't finish muv-luv alternative.

It's a great vn, but my autism won't let me get past the middle arc. Where Takeru goes full PTSD and flees back to his original world. He then proceeds to break down infront of his oblivious classmates. Watching his spiral into depression and subsequent alienation by everyone he once cared for is too much for me. I can't continue; watching this makes me physically cringe and I had to quit out when he breaks down and cried in front of the teacher. Every time I think about continuing, I think about that and audibly nope. But I just can't stand it; maybe I'm too empathetic?

I've been like this for two weeks. I have a problem.

>>12109836
It's not just pre-2000 stuff there are some "recent" games that simply don't work for win 8 as rare as they are. 恋騎士Purely☆Kiss for example doesn't work on win 8 and it's less than 3 years old

What do you guys think of this popped up on steam. Written by the spice and wolf author. sounds interesting and I am pretty shocked its being sold on steam in English.

>>12109921

>>12109857
It's not edgy at all, nerd. It's just pretentious as fuck.

>>12109857
Prepare for denpa, plenty of EXTREME bullying and few rape scenes in the first half of the game. After that the grimdark takes a big dip.

>>12109988
Fuck, Zakuro looks so cute there. It almost makes me want to pick it back up.

>>12109921
Makes me think that Ever 17 would've been a good addition to Steam if the translation was spruced up a bit.

>>12110001
>Fuck, Zakuro looks so cute there.

>>12109941

I never actually encountered a buggy VN til I read that.

>>12110022
Baldr Sky Zero is buggy as fuck.

>>12110027
Baldr Sky has game play at least to be buggy from the looks of it >>12109941 has no game play. A vn should be one of the easiest things to program as far as games goes.

>>12110022
Try ひこうき雲の向こう側. I'm playing it now and like, holy shit, did anybody actually play test this at all? This is after applying the version 2.1 patch, by the way.

>>12110041
Not him, but I've been reading BSZ and so far the buggy parts have been during dialogue.

It got slightly better after installing the latest patch but not completely.


Unrelated to that, I'm finding it quite fun, but not nearly as fun as Dive

I'm fairly new to the world of visual novels, so I was wondering if there was some kind of guide out there to answer beginner's questions.

When do you normally save, and how often? Do you use walkthroughs on your first attempt, or not? Are there any companies that are notoriously shitty? Stuff like that.

>>12110027
I didn't find bugs in BSZ, beyond crashing some times.

Majokoi nikki is simply amazing. The art is great, the sex is hot, and the writing is fast and yomiyasui. The story actually moves forward at a good pace.

I have high hopes.

>>12110942
>yomiyasui
Beginner moonreader here. How would it compare to what I consider easy to read VNs like, say, Baldr Sky (Originals, not Zero), Hoshimemo or Eustia?

>>12110947
Baldr Sky Zero is harder to read than Dive?

>>12110942
I went through the first trial in the first night it was released. I really loved it and couldn't think of anything else for a few days. The second trial however was kind of eh; especially the supposed "good looking" MC has a sprite that looks like ass.
I still have very high hope for it. I have been waiting for it for a while and hopefully it will come out in May.

>>12110979
Maybe he just read Dive so he can't give an opinion on Zero.

>>12110979
>>12111019
I did try Zero. Tired me out quickly, so I gave up. Don't know how to explain it, though.

>>12101875
Can somebody link me to the japanese locale file for windows xp? My laptop has no disc unit and I can't play VNs /sob

>>12111048
Download and mount a Windows XP ISO.

>>12111052
I did but It asks for specific files wich are probably packaged inside the binaries and stuff

>>12111056
Point to the i386 folder in the mounted ISO.

>>12111058

>>12111075
That's a Service Pack 3 update, not Windows XP itself.

>>12111079
oh shit thanks

>>12110979
I played Dives and I'm playing Zero 1 now. Not really much different in terms of difficulty. You see a small fluctuation in vocab with stuff like 愚図る and　時化る being kanji-fied, which I don't remember seeing in dives.

>>12111141
In term of vocab it's not really harder but Zero is just far more annoying to read, the text in the Dive series is mostly straightforward and clear but in Zero the text feel disconnected a lot of time and there is a real feeling that the writer is trying too hard.
So yeah it's "harder" to read simply because the writer is less skilled

>>12111141
>>12111148
I'm not talking about vocabulary. If I find a word I don't know, I look it up on denshi jisho. Simple as that. But sometimes I can't make head or tails of some sentences in Zero or take too long to, while this didn't happen in the originals.

>>12111177
I haven't played Zero yet but for some reason I can't imagine it being really harder than Dive. Although since it's a different writer, his writing might not be as straightforward as Hiei's.

>>12111177
Can't say I share that same problem. Seems fine to me.

>>12111189
Probably, your Japanese comprehension level is better than mine, so you don't have any difficulties, while I do.

>>12111177
Like I said that's not a problem with the vocab but simply the writer who doesn't know to string dialogues properly.

>>12107418
Is it difficult to read?
Because it look promising but I'm not sure if I can handle it

Is the guy who made his own backlog/working through list here? It's probably been fucking years since I've seen it posted here but if you're still around can you tell me how you made it? I'd like to make my own if possible.

It looked really easy to edit and quite clean.

>>12110137
Please respond.

>>12110137
>When do you normally save, and how often?
Whenever the fuck you want.

>Do you use walkthroughs on your first attempt, or not?
Do it if you want to. No one gives a fuck.

>Are there any companies that are notoriously shitty?
There are lots of shitty companies. The majority of them are, in fact. Why the fuck are you even asking this question?

>>12110979
It definitely seems harder to read to me.

The vocab is harder, although not "hard". But Dive was just so easy to read, that harder just means "I have to occasionally look up words".

But as the other guy said sometimes the dialogues just don't make sense. Like I can't tell exactly what some person is mad about, or when they make some vague reference to some other event I don't know what that event is. It definitely seems like a problem with the writing more than the japanese though.

>>12111649
Why are you so hostile?

>Why the fuck are you even asking this question?
So I know which companies I should probably avoid downloading games from.

>>12111701
It all depends on the writer.

>>12111671
And here's an example, like I just have no idea who he's talking about who "noticed" him, and everything is just vague as fuck with nobody confirming anything.

>>12111701

http://forums.fuwanovel.org/

Go make some friends and don't come back until you can think for yourself.

>>12111701
It's not like there's anything like a consensus on which companies are shitty or good, especially when the staff tends to change from game to game like >>12111723 alludes to. Even when it comes to individual games, taste varies so wildly that it's hard to predict whether you'll like a game based on other people's opinions. Eroge is weird like that.

I mean, there's a guy in this thread who occasionally posts about how terrible Overdrive is, but I have no particular problem with them other than not being fond of the art style. I quite liked KiraKira, even. On the other hand, I really can't stand minori, but they seem to have a lot of fans, both in Japan and the West.

>>12111767
He is just saying that while he assumed the possition of Wizard, it wasn't to help Rina but to be a backup if she was to fail.
Ed asks if it's to make her grow up and Dimitri answers that an Officer is always happy when his subordinates gets more skilled.
Basically.
I don't see what is hard to understand about it

The writing in Baldr Sky Zero is certainly weird but it's mostly because the writer has some strong "habits", once you understand how it works it won't feel that disconnected.
It's still not well written though, especially compared to the flow presented in the Dive series

>>12111801
Oh yeah and in the first paragraph, Dimitri was assuming that was what Ed meant, just to be clear.

>>12111801
>I don't see what is hard to understand about it
The part I actually mentioned, about him saying it was a miscalculation to get noticed.

And the hard part is the implications, not what they are literally saying. You gave a direct translation for the line about "an officer is always happy when his subordinates get more skilled", but why is he saying that? Is the implication that Rina was less skilled before, and has now surpassed Dmitri in some area? If not, what is it?

Saya no Uta. Managed to finish it. Never again.

>>12111812
It's been a very long time since I did Zero but wasn't that part at the end of the common route?
Then it's where Rina has to take charge of several battlefield at the same time while threatening the boss of the guys attacking them.
So yeah she grew up during that battle by having to juggle with more responsibilities, that's the implication.
I can understand your problem with it but that's just the way the writer write, it's not even close to the worse things he do, you have to learn to connect the dots with him.
I assume you are still pretty new to Japanese? Actually it's probably good practice to get better reading comprehension in a way.

>>12111826
Ok, I think I was confused because I associate "wizard" with the meaning of what Aki-nee and such do, and forgot that it was also used as the name of Rina's position, so I didn't realize they were talking about the battle in particular, and I thought it was some long term thing. In which case it makes sense that it's just that Edward realized it.

>I assume you are still pretty new to Japanese?
Not at all, which is why it's weird that I have so many problems with how this guy writes.

>>12109849

That was a real cringe-fest because it was actually realistic how weird and emotionally unstable he had become, and how everyone started worrying about him.

The only thing that made me cringe harder than him running away to his old world was the scene later on when he's about to introduce sumika to everyone and gets flashbacks of every single one them from different worlds. And of course betarape, but lets try to forget that happened

its almost like age doesn't just stop at the characters, but also tries to give the reader PTSD too

>>12111846
He just might be your weakness then. Are you bad with vague shit in your native language?

>>12111867
I don't think so, but I don't really read literature often in my native language so I might be.

>>12109988
>>12110001
>>12110019

That scene made me want to throw up. The second half of Looking Glass Insects was real fucked up.

>>12111005
Yeah, I will have to try the second trial, once I get free time. I saw his sprite on their HP and he looked okay to me.

>>12110947
I just meant that the text flows well, it's straight to the point and reads fast. The language is easy like the average the cutie game. But it's not like you can read it if you don't know Japanese.

>>12110137
I save before I turn off the game or before some important choices. I also use quick save to be able to cum both inside and outside.

If the game builds heavily upon choices, like those detective games for example, then I try to play without using a walkthrough.

>>12112286
>then I try to play without using a walkthrough.

except once you hit a bad end and none of the choices make any obvious sense or lead only to slightly different bad ends.

Kara no shoujo for instance was one of the most frustrating experiences I've personally had trying a VN without a walkthrough and it really took away from the enjoyment of the detective mechanics and one of the most original horror/thriller settings out there

It's a shame, because I think that kind of mechanics suits VNs really well. It has so much potential.

tl;dr: Since the writer, artist and director of Juukishi all left the company they can't make a patch for the original game so instead they are making another knight-themed game with Iizuki Tasuku doing the art and distributing it for free to people that bought Juukishi.

>>12113160
>artist
For shame, the art was good and probably the guy wasn't at fault since you draw what people pay for.
>Iizuki Tasuku
Good enough, I guess.

>>12113160
>Since the writer, artist and director of Juukishi
>artist

Fuck, despite the lack of CG in the game the artwork is still good, hope Yuuki Hagure(?) finds some more work. Iizuki Tasuku working on the new game is still good news regardless

>>12113165
>Iizuki Tasuku
Isn't this guy a freelancer too?
Why couldn't they just contract the original artist. I like Yuuki Hagure's art.

>>12113160
>Iizuki Tasuku
Coolio. He's also working for tone work's right now, and since it's a "replacement" for the patches I guess it will be a short story. They say it's on the same level as a full price game, but I seriously doubt they would just distribute one for free, even as an apology.

Will give it a shot anyway, even if just out of morbid curiosity for this entire mess.

アストラエアの白き永遠 trial download mirrors are coming up

Reading a Demonion 2, can't recommend it. It's like the most generic fantasy you can imagine with shallow story and bland character, reminds me of kamidori but that one at least had fun gameplay. There is a slight twist like demons being actually nice guys and other races are all rotten to the core though it can't help the whole thing to get any better. But I kind of feel bad dropping demonion, at the same time reading this is like I'm wasting my time. Anon, do you often drop vns or you keep giving them chances till the end of the vn?

>>12113248
I actively look for reasons to drop VNs; my backlog is already large enough as it is.

>>12113248
Is the gameplay not fun?

Just finished Moonshine
Can /jp/ give me some review about this one ? i'm too lazy to do one myself

>>12113258
There is your dungeon which expends as game flows, you can build structures to get more resources or get new type of monsters. It may sound like a normal strategy but gameplay just does not work like in any good game.game, demonion does not require nor skill neither tactics, you just click your army through dungeon invasions again and again. There is a time limit on dungeons but if you lose you just retry with all the rooms you have already cleared. It got a bit harder when I got a second dungeon to care about and still you just drop more minions to fight and win is yours.
To answer your question in a more short way: this game is not fun at all, just bothersome.

>>12113258
It's not. Piss easy and unlike in the first game, you're no longer free to put everything on fast-forward and let the game play itself in the background while you read a more interesting VN.

>>12113286
>>12113289
So I guess it's not fun like Suzukuri Dragon or Venus Blood GAIA?
Damn, and I was looking forward to playing that game.

Guess I'll just wait for the next Venus Blood game and for shchara to remake Suzukuri Dragon (haha).

>>12113318
If you didn't play the previous Venus Blood games you could also play those.

Nope nope nope...

At least Clochette's still on track.

>>12113455
You say that as if it was surprising, can't wait for july 25th.

Demonion 2 needed a proper turn-limit like the first game. That would actually give the invasion dungeons a purpose because micro-managing your units to clear them in one turn can be challenging, unfortunately there is no incentive to do so. I don't know if there actually is a turn limit (Slumbering King waking up= GameOver?) but it has to be somewhere past 180 so whatever.

>>12113523
180? I'm sure everybody dropped this game way before this.

>>12113588
Heh, considering that good, plentiful porn is the best motivator a gameplay eroge can have I'm fairly certain that the completion rate among players for these games is higher than anything from Eushully for example.

Why.

Okay, maybe someone can explain this to me.
What the fuck is with the time roll-back in Yume's route after the timeskip to You's graduation? Did I miss something important or what?

Started Demonion 2 as well.
Really surprising how they managed to turn great game into shit. Horrible tachies and chardesign, horrible writing, dull characters, retarded story. At least gameplay improved a bit.

It's the usual M&M stuff.
My problem is that there are way too many flat-chested girls and nobody goes to M&M for the lolis. Voluptuous girls are delicious as always though.

>>12113811
If you need the Hatsukoi 1/1 ones I can upload the last one which contains all three if you want.

>>12113881
>too many flat-chested girls
Ahahahaha.
You say the darndest things sometimes, anon.

>>12113908
It's true though, there are like, 5 of them. I can deal with a token-loli like that Kunoichi from the first game but one third of the heroines? How about no.

>>12113924
Looks like a classic oppai seijin addiction. I recommend some taste supplements.

>>12113881
there's even a gross boy that dresses up as a girl

>>12113929
I don't care about your specific tastes, this is a matter of sensible expectations not being met.

>>12113939
Neither do I care about yours, not every character needs gigantic sacks of fat. In fact, there are too many of them around.

>>12113935
How preposterous. His parents should be informed.

>>12113949
I love lolis, and I'd be incredibly disappointed playing a game I which I expect would have lolis in it and getting massive oppai.

I imagine that is the same time of way he feels about expecting oppai and getting flat chest.

>>12113949
>not every character needs gigantic sacks of fat
But they do. At least in the sequel to Demonion with M&M as the artist. What exactly do you not get about this expectations thing?

By the way, is there any kind of guide for it yet? Heroines capturing was really troublesome in first game.
>>12113881
First game had much more reasonable char designs.

>>12113954
The difference is that oppai are everywhere, whereas lolis are relatively few. Complaining about "too many lolis" is like complaining that there's too much diamond in a mine, and it needs more limestone.

>>12113964
Again, I can't say I care about your expectations.

>>12113966
They removed requirements. You just need to kill them in a room with traps

>>12113966
Why do you need a guide? You just need to place status effects on them.

>>12113967
This is silly. Go to an Italian restaurant and get served lebanese food. It's okay though! That's a pretty rare cuisine.

No fuck you, I want a pizza.

>>12113991
You're not as good at this analogy thing as you think you are, so leave it to others. I suggest returning to whatever angry anti-loli forum you came from, and taking your "expectations" with you.

>>12113823
Oh I see, thanks. While I definitely enjoyed Yume's route that time roll-back made me go WTF

>>12113985
Status effects are unreliable. Pits are best for capturing heroines, exception being Itsuki, who needs the magic seal trap.

And that's how lolis became main demonion problem.

Rejoice, because furry-heroines are woefully underrepresented. Please tell me again how this analogy makes no sense after your own amazing diamond-mine example and how expectations are a silly thing to have.

>>12114023
Whee, let's bring furries into something irrelevant, that always disrupts the conversation. Sounds like a smart move.

>>12114043

He's right though.

>>12114029
Eh, looks like I got baited or something. You could have put more effort in this reply and dragged it out a bit longer though.

>>12114047
O~f course you are.

>>12114048
Still no answer. I wasn't expecting one, of course.

>>12114056
>O~f course you are.

Right? Now fuck off back to /vg/ or wherever you came from.

>>12114043
I'm not him though. You're just attacking him for not wanting a large cast of flat chested girls in his oppaige, which is understandable.

>>12114064
If you stop responding to him he will go away. These things feed on attention

>>12114004
We could always argue about the lolis in AstralAir instead.

Went through an hour of the trial. I'm liking the snowy relaxing atmosphere and the music, pretty much what I expected from it.

Speaking of loli, there's Burunyanman EX coming out this month on the 30th.
I would've preferred them working on a new title, but at least it isn't mostly older girls like Otome Switch.

>>12114064
>>12114067
Still no answer.

>>12114066
It appears you didn't read the discussion, or didn't want to because see above.

>>12114072

I hope you wear sunglasses while playing that game.

>>12114077
>Still no answer.
Going through your posts, you didn't even formulate a single question?
Is not making sense something like... your thing?

>>12114090
>Is not making sense something like... your thing?
Exactly. That should be your cue to stop replying.

>>12114090
There was no question, there was an analogy and some failed attempts at countering it...
>>12114096
...and the classic "I can't answer, so he's a troll" evasion technique.

>>12114072
The artist finally went too far with his designs in this game. I can't play this because these hypnotoad heroines are legitimately frightening.

>>12114072
Looks lovely, can't wait for the full game. Others may not like it, but I'm really fond of that glow-in-the-dark art style.

>>12114072
Those character designs are really nice, but if my monitor brightness was higher it would really fuck with my eyes.

>>12114116
The game should probably be shipped with f.lux on the disc and a health warning or something.

>>12114124
>>12114081
No shit. I have f.lux set at 2700K by default and that's borderline too bright for my sensitive little eyes already.

>>12114124
>The characters in this product may be too moe for your eyes, please be warned

>>12114111
>>12114116
They really do stand out, in multiple ways. The scenes with Yuki take it to a whole new level.

There's some sexy backgrounds, too. It almost reaches ASa Project levels of character sprite/background disparity.

>>12114076
WAIT WHAT, new burunyanman? Original game was and even now is my favourite danmaku. Thanks for posting this, man.

>>12114174
It's more like a re-release. They're adding in cowtits from the PSP game, some new gameplay mode called ecstasy mode, along with some new characters and scenes. I'm still looking forward to it though, hope they add more scenes for Sukunyanman.

It was worth playing Rance 2 just for this scene.

I've yet to find another VN which captivates me like レミニセンス so I'm really looking forward to the FD. Shame it got delayed but that was to be expected I guess.

Would you recommend me any other plot driven VNs which don't rely on mysterious power battles and other chuuni elements?

>>12114252
Its full-len sequel, not FD.

>>12114278
I wonder if the routes won't shit themselves the last hour this time around.

>>12114290
Half-assed ends seem to be Kinugasa's trademark.

>>12114312
They suddenly and magically appeared in akagoei, they weren't there in conboku and they both were comedies with some drama.

>>12114000
Don't forget to check out the fan disk.

anybody hoping for a clover days fan disk??
i wanna see a izumi and tsubame threesome dammit!!

It's a crime that this adorable women isn't a heroine

>>12115256
If she had a route, you wouldn't want her. It's always the same thing here. If there's a cute girl with no route, everyone suddenly wants her.

>>12115259
I understand the logic behind your statement but i personally can't apply it to this situation.

Well I guess it's time to play Baldr Sky Zero 2.
I've been busy playing games and reading LNs these past weeks but time to go back to some eroge

Hopefully Marel's route will deliver

>>12115263
Well, I could be wrong since I haven't gone through that VN, but this is something I see a lot here. A lot of people claiming how "best girl doesn't have a route".

>>12115273
While i agree with everything you have about these types of complaints and comment in regards to heroines in VNs.

She isn't best girl or anything, nor does having a route for her make any sense whatsoever (Protagonist's mother). She is just sickeningly cute to the point where i think i just can't help but wonder how ridiculous a hypothetical route for her would be. Hence i think it was a wasted opportunity even if it was just a joke ending or something along those lines

>>12115256
>>12115280
Doting mother characters are always cute as fuck.

Got the Abi Ending in IMM and I'm not sure how to feel about it. In Zero it was sad, like most things in Zero, how Celica's first betrayal as kamigoroshi was from his first friend as kamigoroshi. But he was also a jerk and he was a huge jerk for a long ass period of time. In fact he ranks right up there next to the new gods as jerks to Celica. So just it seems so unbelievable that Celica can forgive him that easily AND that he can admit his mistakes so easily after CENTURIES of being mad with lust and corruption. Among who knows how many undocumented things he did he also absorbed the soul of a crazy as fuck human who wanted to kill gods and become a god. Atleast it's non canon and all but still.

It's going to be a bumpy ride.

>>12115280
Blood related mom routes in moege is pretty much non existent unfortunately

>>12116714
And for good reason, you sick fuck.

>>12116714
I remember this one in Asanagi no Aquanauts.

By the way, on a somewhat related note, should pregnancy stuff by Swaneye like Hara Kano and Hara Chuchu or imouto-ge like Kurano-kun Chi or Tamahaji be considered nukige or not? They follow the progression of a usual moe-ge with a common route, choosing a heroine, and practically all the sex in individual routes, but the ero themes are pretty skewed.

>>12116802
You wouldn't say that if it's your dad.

What is the most heart attack inducing, cuteness overload, death by moegasm incest route in a VN?

>>12116802
But eroge moms are the best

>>12116806
I honestly couldn't call Tamahaji anything but a nukige.
The whole game you basically go no more than 20-30 minutes of reading without another H scene beginning, just enough time to reload your dick.
Where as KuraFuta was much more balanced I felt in terms of H-scene to non-H-scene content but it's also been months since I've had it installed.

>>12116870

I've been reading Monobeno lately and the imouto route is pretty good. Though I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for.

I've fapped to this scene like 15 times now.

>>12116886
She looks like a fucking toddler.

>>12116888
And you act like one.

>>12116888
Yes, and?

>>12116888

Nah, she's actually a drawing.

Man, you pedophiles sure do get defensive quickly.

>>12116893
A drawing of a toddler can't look like a toddler?

What's the most PC demanding VN you've ever come across? I mean, the Crysis of VN's which require specs no normal eroge requires.

>>12116888
>>12116891
>>12116892
>>12116893
>>12116911
>>12116916

Holy shit guys, no need to derail the thread.

That's the last time I post a screen from Monobeno.

>>12116921
Please don't, I love you

>>12116926
>that resolution
>CG doesn't look stretched
Is that the native resolution of the CGs?

>>12116931
No, got it off Safebooru

http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=831073

>>12116806
Hmmm, honestly I think Haramin, Harakano, and Harachuchu are moege with high sexual content.

The story wasn't pointless excuses for sex .... wait, yeah they were. Still there was character interaction and story ... I dunno. Probably moege VNs.

>>12116806
>follow the progression of a usual moe-ge with a common route, choosing a heroine, and practically all the sex in individual routes, but the ero themes are pretty skewed.
Aren't most non rape nukige like that?

>>12116886
She's really cute. I know what I'm reading next. I just need to download Monobeno -happy end-, right? I've heard it includes the complete original game within it.

>>12116714
http://vndb.org/v1229

No it's not a horrible rape game or abuse game or anything. Just the opening makes it look like it is.

That's my comment in the comment section. It really is one of the sweetest incest games I've ever played. One of the all time best mother routes too.

>>12116967

Yeah, definitely get -happy end-. It fixes a lot of issues I had with the original story and adds a boatload of ero.

Finished Dies Irae (Acta Fabula).
People actually thought that shit was good?

>>12117020
What did you not like about it? If you're not into Chuuni then obviously it wouldn't click with you.

>>12117033
If you're not into chuuni I can't even imagine why you'd pick it up, unless you managed to somehow download it both completely uninformed and blindfolded.

>>12117043
>uninformed and blindfolded.

There are people who don't even do the most basic research on games before they download/buy it?
