Is eroge a normalfag hobby now?

>>12685119
Yes, but they call them "VNs" (even if they're RPGs or simulations or whatever) and lament that the unnecessary legacy baggage of sex scenes that nobody wants is holding back the medium.

>>12685113
嫌なら 出て行け ,

>>12685149
Holy fuck, the amount of comments on reddit about people playing borderline nukige and skipping through the sex scenes... why do I even go there anymore.

test

>>12685119
>>12685149
Sometimes I think /jp/ doesn't know what a normalfag actually is.

Playing pic related. Couple of hours in and so far not as good as the first game...which is a real shame. The first one was a comedic masterpiece.

>>12685149
>>12685163
Wait...skipping sex scenes is a bad thing now? I always CTRL skip those unless it's a nukige.

>>12685254
>Wait...skipping sex scenes is a bad thing now?
It always has been.

>>12685119
>>12685181
It's funny.
I have a friend who I introduced to eroge years ago, he became as knowledgeable in it as I was and probably even more, so much that he was able to write an academic study on its history and present after his studies were done. But I can't help but feel he used it as a coping mechanism for his relationships more than anything when they went awry.
Now he works in Japan and has a girlfriend and all, still considers eroge a hobby but doesn't actually play any. He seems happy though, so I guess more power to him.

I hope this is okay here but kickstarter Clannad is a english translated version with the HD ps3 models

>>12685389
So who are the translators? Isn't that like the most important part of the project?

I'm about to finish reading Flyable Heart and I can't decide what to play next. I was thinking Akatsuki no Goei but I'm not sure if I'll want to read all the sequels by the time I'm done reading it.
My reading ability has increased dramatically so far although I've only been reading easy to read VNs.

Anyways, if anyone has some specific easy to read VNs or charts like this please post them. Or just convince me to read something, I really can't decide at this point.

Also, you don't need to restrict yourself to only untranslated ones.

>>12685554
>Veterans
>Attack on Titan

>>12685541, ignore the link >>12685597 posted. That link is about translation difficulty, not reading difficulty. (though of course the game in the highest tiers will be difficult to read for a biginner

>>12685618
It works anyway, what is difficult to read will be difficult to translate. Tell me one VN on the easy list that should not be there.

This is the third times you filthy EOP retard bring this shit on this thread. Please, fuck off to /vg/ or VNTS thread or /pol/ if you want to discuss your jew company milking braindead retards. We don't care, thank you.

>>12685541
Whoever put Harukuru there should kill himself, that shit definetely isn''t entry level. Clover Day's and Fureraba are great moege, if you liked FH you should try them.

>>12685541
At moe style category Flyable Heart is in the worst 3 for sure, so if you enjoyed it I'm pretty sure you can enjoy others too. Also I'd like to add Tsuyokiss at that list, I'm playing untranslated games for a 4-5 years and tsuyokiss is still one of my favorite moe type game.

>>12685254
The porn is the glue that holds the industry together. Moe is the meat.

>>12685314
I feel like reading eroge is incompatible with normalfag lifestyle. Success and relationships or reading eroge forever - you can't have both at once.

>>12685314
>I can't help but feel he used it as a coping mechanism for his relationships more than anything when they went awry.
Isn't it pretty normal? Even as a guy who loves good prose, engaging plot, fresh ideas in my porn powerpoints and all that stuff, at the end of the day I don't think you can like eroge that much if couldn't provide something you want to experience, you'd stop at books or something else

>>12685639
>>12685720
Thanks. I'll be honest I'm only moderately enjoying Flyable Heart. It's like a decent 7/10 for me so far, but I still have a few routes left. I want to stick with and finish it though, it's entertaining enough and it helps my comprehension.
I'm sure I'd enjoy other moe games, I actually read a bit of Tsuyokiss but I opted for Flyable Heart instead because I thought the characters were cuter. I was kind of hoping to play a more plot oriented VN though.
Well, to be honest at this point I really just want something consistently entertaining so I'll be more motivated to read it. When I used to read translations I could glide through the slower parts much easier because I didn't have to put nearly as much effort into actually reading.

>>12685792
I don't like glue in my meat.

>>12685541
First untranslated VN I read was Ren'ai 0. I enjoyed it quite a bit, it's a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend it if you haven't read it yet.

>>12685859
Once I got out of school and got a real job with responsibilities I played even more eroge. I was pretty casual in school. Honestly eroge is the perfect escape, far more than games and anime. I imagine if I ever go full normalfag I would still play huge and hyped releases.

>>12685541
I highly suggest that you play Daitoshokan.
FH was also one of my first games and it increased my vocabulary and anki deck by a ton.

>>12685951

Well I guess it depends on how much trouble you're having with Flyable Heart.

If it seems pretty easy to you then you might could handle Eustia, SubaHibi, or Baldr Sky, so long as you go in aware that those titles will definitely be more difficult (and significantly better) than your average moege.

I started Killer Queen, but couldn't take the shitty writing and clichés after about 5 hours.

Someone spoil the ending for me, please.
I mean, I have to know why this was translated.
The story or writing certainly isn't worth the effort, so I assume it has some twist ending that the translators felt was good enough to share with the western audience.

I installed 辻堂さんの純愛ロード a long time ago and put it off. Now, I'm trying to play it but it wouldn't open. Like, I see the game process on task manager for a few second before it disappears. Tried reinstalling it but it's still happening. Any tips?

>>12686271
>I mean, I have to know why this was translated.
It was translated because of secret game: killer queen, which is a less bad version of the game, and rebellions, which is pretty good.

>>12686276
Windows 8?

>>12686280
Windows 7. Sorry, Should've clarified that.

>>12686271
>>12686279
Get out

>>12686296
The reason I asked is because I was having the same issue on Windows 8 but had success running it in a Japanese Windows XP VM. I assumed it was a Windows 8 problem, but maybe not if you're getting it on 7 as well.

>>12686325
It used to work when I tried playing it like a year ago. Now when I actually want to play it this shit happens. No workarounds eh?

>>12686320
No, you.
Anyway, how is your sex life?

>>12686335
Like I said, my workaround was to run it in a VM. I Googled around a bit but didn't find anyone else talking about the issue, so I dunno.

>>12686339
Better than you piece of shit.

>>12686351
Ah sorry I meant other workarounds other than running it via VM.
Well, thanks for the info anon.

Looking forward Chusingura fandisk, it'll be nice seeing the gang again.

>>12686578
Same here, hopefully it will have a somewhat decent plot.

>>12686509
Ok, I've seen it twice and the context of this is just so removed from The Room that practically no one would've gotten the reference. And why the fuck are you still making meme movie references in 2014? I haven't seen one on /jp/ or even /vg/ in literal months. Ugh.

What does a stupid memey reference even contribute to a conversation? You say your dumb reference, someone either doesn't recognize it, and you look retarded, or they do, and think you're even more retarded.

>>12686411
>>12686543
>>12686509
There is no need to samefag this hard.

>>12686578
Same, but I can't help but feel like the story won't be anywhere near as interesting as the main series.

I was actually looking forward to see them tackle a brand new game, but I guess maybe next year? Hopefully they won't end up like Baseson.

>>12687638
What do you mean by "like baseson"? Appare tenka was seriously a huge fail, but their lastest game was better than shin koihime series as story, writing and art imo. Well being all ages was kinda disappointment though.

>>12686184
Iam not the anon you are replying to, but Iam like him just started reading a few raw eroges and I feel like I can struggle reading anything except works for the writers Hino/tanaka romeo. But I still want to give them a chance.

So for the one who played Hello Lady! how hard is actually reading this? Is it harder than Ruitomo? If the only hard part about it is the chuuni aspects I feel I can get through it.

>>12687705
Romeo's stuff isn't really that difficult to read, but you probably won't appreciate some of the things he does and I can imagine it being pretty annoying to get through some of his stuff if you aren't that comfortable with the language.

>>12687705

Well if you're at a similar level to the guy I was replying to then those writers are better left for later on. Really. You'll miss out on a ton of nuance and probably find yourself bashing your head against a wall while crawling through their huge vocabulary with EDICT and attempting to navigate the difficult grammar. And once you finally finish reading something that's way above your head, you will find that you still misunderstood a whole shitload of things.

Just take it easy and read the things I listed earlier if you haven't already, they're fantastic games and they're not very difficult. There are a lot of great titles out there that aren't going to make you want to put your head in a blender.

I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't read games from those writers no matter what, just know that you can easily ruin the experience by attempting to do them too early.

>>12685254
>Wait...skipping sex scenes is a bad thing now? I always CTRL skip those unless it's a nukige
Yes, if you aren't ready to fap to anything at any time you don't deserve to call yourself a man.

>>12685639
>This is the third times you filthy EOP retard bring this shit on this thread. Please, fuck off to /vg/ or VNTS thread or /pol/ if you want to discuss your jew company milking braindead retards. We don't care, thank you.
Yeah lets go back to talking about text hookers and which VNs are easy enough that a 5 year old could read them :D

>>12687785
But you see, I can't pace myself well. I will wait and wait for some h seen but during to course of the game I will fap to a softcore CG, official art, or to a game sprite (which are sometimes lewd in themselves). I am not an animal, I can't fap that much.

The worst are games where there is hours of dick teasing, beach scenes, pool scenes, cosplay etc.

>>12687789
>geez this weeb doesn't like it if i talk about jew project in vn thread that mainly discuss untranslated vn. i wonder why...

Seriously, have you considered killing yourself?

>>12687823
To be fair 'wut vn is ez' is almost as annoying as translation status in the wrong thread.

Take a guess.

I really wish they would make a prequel based on this story,but since Black Cyc dissolved that will probably never happen.

>>12687658
Probably how they milk their franchises I'd imagine is what he meant.

>>12685541
Why is SubaHibi being recommended for beginners? Not that SubaHibi uses especially difficult words too much, but I'd have thought you'd want to be sure your confusion was intended by the author rather than a result of your linguistic skills for something like that.

>>12688130
I'm not the one you're replying to, but Subahibi was one of the first few plot-heavy VNs I read and I didn't really have much trouble with it aside from the sections that are quotes from other literature, and those parts all have English translations anyway. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't recommend it as your first ever Japanese VN, but I'd say if you can read something like Eustia or Baldr Sky comfortably you should be fine.

>>12686184
Actually, I can read Flyable Heart extremely well at this point. Lines with Kanji that I already know very well I can read at the same rate I read English and comprehend just fine!

However I don't want to read SubaHibi or Baldr Sky just yet. I could probably read them pretty damn well at this point, but I've been told that they are god tier VNs and I want to save them for when I have a few more VNs under my belt. Eustia was also a very high contender, but considering it's a long VN and I've heard that it's pretty slow paced... Well, I'm not sure if it would keep my attention. If people say that it's both fun to read and good though I'll probably reconsider.

>>12688197
Eustia is pretty good. Harukuru is a lot better, though.

Does anyone know of any good VNs from the perspective of a female (of any sexual orientation) or a gay/bi male? It seems like the majority of the stuff I can find is targeted toward straight men, which is fine, I'm just looking for something different. Thanks!

>>12688237

Akai Ito and/or Aoi Shiro?

>>12688197
I thought Eustia was quite well paced, actually.

Was the Baldr Force anime any good?
Would it be enjoyable if I've only played Sky and Sky Zero or would I need to have played Force to get what's going on?

>>12687781
Thanks. I guess I'll grind more easy ones before going to the difficult.

Speaking of Flyable Hearts, can I read Kimi no Nagori wa Shizuka ni Yurete
Without it? I feel I'll like this one alot.

>>12688423
Force anime is utter crap, it makes the tsukihime anime actually look a masterpiece in comparison. Only watch the force anime if you have played the game and want to laugh/rage with what they did with it.

>>12688445
How unfortunate, I wanted to see what a decent Baldr sky adaptation would look like.

I cried like a bitch during Kotori's confession(s).

This installer interface is nice. It even plays back voices when you start and finish installing. I know I shouldn't be surprised by something so simple but it's nice when they go the extra mile and add features like this.

>>12688428
You actually can. But it's the depressing game of the series.

>>12688785
The G.I.B. had a functional mini-Space Invaders game.

Have you had any long term success with remembering words that you have encountered while reading VNs with a text-hooker and those dictionary pop-ups that appear as soon as you scroll over the word?

I just finishing reading 大帝国 and my grammar has improved significantly, but I can barely remember more than 10 or 20 new words that I read during that entire time and this is still fresh in my mind. It might as well have gone in one ear and out the other.

>>12689038
It's honestly the same as with words in english, but even more challenging as context is less intuitive. A word isn't added to your active vocabulary without repetition and complete understanding. You can't learn a new word by looking at it and its dictionary definition one time. That's what decks are for, to grind kanji and vocab.

>>12689038
>>12689048
Write a new word down every time you see one. Look over the list every now and then and you should get a more fluid understanding.

>>12689038
Well I did it the hard way, meaning without a text hooker and only by using jisho/goo/google　etc..., and I retained things surprisingly fast.
One year and 4 months after starting learning japanese seriously and I'm pretty much at the point where I can read Mareni without much problem

Also, the torrents aren't dead...?

>>12689131
That's EOP for you.

>>12689038
Try the blitzkrieg tactic.

Think of it like this: There's an immense number of visual novels and they all use many words and the overwhelming majority of those words will end up overlapping and you will see them hundreds of times in many different visual novels. So a lot of the vocab that you pick up in an easier VN will be the same words that you will see again in everything else, including VNs that are significantly more difficult.

As it was with the blitzkrieg, you target the weak points of the army (easier VNs that are interesting to you because the ease increases reading speed which increases the rate of your exposure to new words and the interest factor helps to improve retention because it's easier to remember something that you were interested in) and then you make a deep thrust into these weak spots.

As the spearhead pierces through then the other weapon in your arsenal (anki decks) follows behind in the path that your reading blitz continues to clear and it starts to gobble up all of those words that you added to your deck while you were reading. They weren't retained the day that you read them, but they were added to the deck so now they can be gradually chipped away at through reviewing. Once the spearhead of reading has cut through to the other side and you no longer have any other easy things to read that are interesting and still pose at least a slight challenge then you encircle and pierce the already weakened center. The words from the easier VNs are eventually memorized, those memorized words carry over and make it significantly easier to read this harder material now that so many of the words that it uses have already been memorized months earlier, and finally you pierce straight through to the heart and then it snaps and crumbles in on itself as anki devours what's left.

>>12689131

Were you searching on the normal nyaa or something? Or maybe you didn't use Japanese chaacters?

Why is this entire form of media filled with sex? I like to read visual novels, but inevitably there's some sex that just permanently sullies the characters in my mind. I can never look at them the same after seeing it. Why is it necessary?

>>12689232

Ah. The English one. I see. Yes, from now on you should definitely always search by the Japanese names, even if you want to eventually patch it to English. That way you'll can get the one with the most seeds.

>Forgot to try Japanese characters, but usually Nyaa has both japanese along with romanization in the same name. Odd that they didn't do it with this one.

Not true, in my experience.

Realism is a fucking stupid reason.

>>12689530
>Teenagers declaring that they love each other and fucking immediately after their first kiss is realistic?
It's actually one of the most realistic, down-to-earth situations you can find in eroge. That's why it confuses me when it happens. Girls aren't supposed to be loose whores in moe/chara/renaige, so when a heroine immediately fucks MC I see it more as a fling than the true love they try to make it out to be. MC is just her gateway dick, a stepping stone to bigger and greater dicks.

Celenaria is a great starting point, Sharnoth is too, but better with Celenaria.

I've heard good things about "Ken ga Kimi"
>>12688130
I can sort of attest to that, I played Subahibi for my first VN and I felt like that ruined it for me.

>>12689682
I thought about making one since I spend a lot of time in Rizon and mostly speaking a handful of people about most VNs I'm going through in the subculture-related channel I attend, but in the end I thought it wasn't worth the trouble anyways, and I honestly could not get through a few days in the "established" ones.
VNGeneral suffices for any discussion, anyways.

>>12689682
Other than TLWiki, there are a lot of channels for various projects and groups.

>>12689732
Subahibi is worth playing multiple times anyway. How did you "ruin" it? If you didn't understand everything, then go back through again. You might be surprised at what you find hiding in plain sight.

Is there a solution for playing VNs on Macs?
I know about wine, but it's pretty shit for VNs.

I'm done with Microsoft and linux has shitty support for Japanese, so it looks like I'm left with no choice.

>>12691083
It's either Wine, virtual machines, or dual-booting. And yes, Wine is shit. I recommend VirtualBox if you really feel the need to use a hipster OS.

>>12691083

>>12691100
I hate Apple all the same, but I hate the direction MS is going with Windows even more.

>virtual machines, or dual-booting
I didn't want to do either since they both waste space by installing windows, but I guess I'll consider VMs since I don't have to reboot every time I want to play a VN.

>>12691108
Indeed, I don't care about freedom. I just hate the shit they're doing with Win8 and newer stuff.

KiriKiri 3 (the popular VN engine) was under development for GNU/Linux, OS X and Windows. Sadly, it seems the original developer abandoned the project. Which sucks balls, a great amount of companies would have switched to KiriKiri 3 and we would be able to run the interpreter in alternative platforms. Fucking Japan.

K, I have been wanting a more plot focused game after a few moege in a row.

Going to play the 2009 remake, hope it is just as good. Some anon said on here that turkeyhandle took a lot from it.

>>12692515
It kind of felt like it should have been more ambitious. The setting was pretty nice, and there were a couple somewhat interesting twists, but it didn't really go all that far with any of them. It's not bad, but if you go in with high expectations, you'll probably be disappointed. Kirika alone is still reason enough to play it in my opinion though.

Does anybody sometimes get the feeling while playing eroge that the characters are monologuing in front of each other instead of actually having a conversation? Like they're completely disconnected and not listening to each other and just keep on rambling randumbXD shit. Sachi from Sharin is a good example of this. It makes the scenes so futile.

It bothers me so much I usually can't even continue playing the game.

>>12692353
It has a dumb plot about aliens, really. Don't waste your time.

I didn't have any text problems with the game so I assume it's same as usual. Set Japanese locale, timezone and format in the control panel. Many people only change the locale but forget to change the other two. In cases where none of those work change your system language with Vistalizator if your system doesn't support other languages by default.

Started reading Comyu a couple days ago. First route was enjoyable, if a bit heavy on edginess. Did Mayuki's route next, which was a pretty major tonal shift. Much less serious. Cute as fuck though. Next up is probably the transfer student.

Man, Asairo is so good.

Anybody else enjoyed this? The SoL scenes got to be a little bit much for my tastes, but they were always enjoyable and made later events incredibly effective. It's gearing up to be one of my favorite titles ever.

I really wish Cube made something similiar like Natsu no Ame again, that shit was a masterpiece. I tried Your Diary+H and dropped in the middle of Kaho route, i swear the romance is really forced and stupid. What a waste of Kantoku art.

The premise of that new game doesn't sound really promising, but i still hope it won't be as dissapointing as Your Diary.

In terms of eroge, Shumon, Mareni, Sakurai, and Haganeya. I generally don't enjoy really chuuni stuff and hated what I read of Dies Irae and Senshinkan. Romeo, on the other hand, isn't a bad writer, and I really liked Sayaka's routes in Saihate, but the majority of the time, he just writes in a way that pisses me off like in his part of Shinju no Yakata.

That's the not being gay enough part.

I have troubles with AGTH, when I use it with some VNs it doesn't get the whole sentence.

For example, this sentence is displayed in the VN:

Because this is the best and one of the very few places on the internet to extensively discuss non-translated VNs. It's very very niche and already hard enough to find people to talk about it, and most people that actually learn japanese aren't super talkative. So this is pretty much our only haven. There are tons of places to talk about translated ones. It's just rude. It should make total sense if you think about it.

>>12698917
>>12698946
If I feel like exclusively reading high literature I go read paperback books.
I read VNs because I want to play through a story with cute, lewd girls, or play a game with cute, lewd girls. A good plot is just a cherry on top.

I'd rather discuss current titles then 5+ year old stuff.

>>12699063
Just because books are better, it doesn't mean there aren't VNs with good stories released every single year.

Personally, I've read over 200 VNs so moege are incredibly boring to me now. It's all the same thing after a while. It's like only ever watching harem anime and neglecting all the other genres.

>>12699063
I'm the opposite of you. I want either a good plot or presentation of interesting ideas and cute girls are an added bonus. I can't even play moege anymore because it all feels so forced and I get bored.

>どうして、そんなに黒い髪が好きなの？

Just started up this and the quality looked absolutely terrible in fullscreen. I then went to the engine settings and saw pic related in default.

Why would they do this? I really hope Japs don't use toasters to run their eroge in 2014.

>>12699076
>it doesn't mean there aren't VNs with good stories released every single year
I never said otherwise.
To expect VNs to be great every single month though is asinine. I rejoice when the occasional gem shows up but I don't complain about "garbage" because I don't really expect any better.
If VNs are mostly boring though, perhaps contemplate using your time on something else?

>>12699082
Must be painful to have a narrow vision on a medium that takes such long hours to complete.

>>12699092
Perhaps it's just so that it's compatible with all toasters from the start and the ones with better graphic cards can just select the ones that have their Shader version compatibility.

>>12697797
Yakimochi Stream, maybe? As far as I've read, Sana's obsession with the protagonist seems like it's mostly played for comedy but she's pretty obsessively devoted.

The character designs aren't for everyone though, so if giant tits disgust you this might not be what you're looking for, yandere sister or not.

>>12698927
Yeah, intelligent places are usually uptight as fuck since the world is filled with dumb people.

>>12699092
Yeah, I complained about that a couple of threads ago. There's zero excuse for not using a bilinear filter by default at the bare minimum. Oh well, at least you CAN set it to something decent, unlike a lot of games.

Well, Winter is rolling around so I think I should start White Album 2 (again). Feels like I've been saying this for the past 2 years though.

>>12699291
I started WA2 in December a couple years back, didn't finish it until spring, both because it's long and because it's boring.

>>12699303
Yeah I'm definitely going to try to start Teninai this December.

hmmm... I must say if MuvLuv Alternative was about "war against the invaders", Total Eclipse feels more like "cold war and who cares about the invaders". It seems the BETA are just used as tools for fueling the conflict between humans...

>>12699076
Good for you. It only took me like 4 moege to realize I always got bored by around the end of the common route.

Cute girls are nice but they aren't enough to entertain me for 40+ hours. I prefer just watching anime for small bits of moe.

The main advantage to VNs imo is mainly the fact that they are forced to actually tell complete stories, unlike LNs and manga which are usually designed to not have an end, or to postpone it indefinitely. So when VNs actually do have good stories, I think they are the best medium. If anime series were all complete stories that took as many episodes as they needed to tell the story fully then I would drop VNs in a heartbeat though.

>all feels so forced and I get bored
I love moege but that doesn't mean i don't have a standard. I also think it stupid for heroines to open her legs for protag when they meet only for less than 3 weeks or falling in love with each other because of one small accident. At that point I already dropped the game.

>>12699443
> I prefer just watching anime for small bits of moe.
Weird. I watched anime as well but quite the opposite i liked action/plot based anime and cute girls doing cute things to me tend to bore me to death.For example i only watched Psycho Pass 2 and Parasyte and there is no moeshit in both of them

>>12699544
How many months of ichaicha crap do you want before they get to the actual fucking, six months? You're going to need some sort of timeskip somewhere if that shit isn't going to drag on pretty much forever.

>>12699544
> I also think it stupid for heroines to open her legs for protag when they meet only for less than 3 weeks
Thats why you are still virgin.
Its not 19th century anymore, nowadays sex is not a big deal and sex on first date is very common thing.

>>12699554
>>12699579
I don't mind they are fucking after confession, but 2-3 weeks since their first meeting and they already fucking ? No, thank you. I play nukige if i want to see that kind of heroines. I can make an exception though, if the interaction between protag and heroine is great.

Lasty, please don't compare 3DPD to my escapism medium.

>>12699615
>I play nukige if i want to see that kind of heroines
But nukige heroines don't even last a week. 3-4 weeks since they meet is pretty decent.

>>12699443
>The main advantage to VNs imo is mainly the fact that they are forced to actually tell complete stories, unlike LNs and manga which are usually designed to not have an end, or to postpone it indefinitely.
This is one of the main reasons I like eroge, although it's more specifically because of the way they tell complete romance stories. Anime and manga are abysmal when it comes to romance, in that there is rarely any real romantic development even in supposed "romance" series.

Although that aside there are many presentation and cultural aspects that I like about eroge. It's a very unique medium.

>>12698917
Nobody cares about your circlejerk and edgy chuuni shit Moogy. Fuck, off to your IRC club

I dont really mind having sex after confession, but the "Sex > 3-5 lines, one more sex> sex> a little ichaicha sex> sex" thing is killing me. At least make some space between those h-scenes, like some ichaicha or date, or something like those. I cant fap 10 times in fucking 2 hours and without fapping h-scenes nothing but annoying.

ソレヨリノ前奏詩, Minori, 2/27 (Looking awfully nukige)
シルヴァリオ ヴェンデッタ, Light, Q1
姉小路直子と銀色の死神, Takahiro x Jackson, maybe, we'll see.

2015(?):
花の野に咲くうたかたの, Applique
千の刃濤、桃花染の皇姫, August
New Sumikko-soft
相州戦神館學園 万仙陣, Masada, Light

No release date, but waiting:
サクラノ詩, Sca-ji (Hahahaha, god damn it >>12700282)
少女たちは荒野を目指す, Romeo
猫撫ディストーション 恋愛事象のデッドエンド, Whitesoft

Probably missing a few notable titles, but these are the ones I have my eyes on. While I don't think we're going to get another 2009 any time soon, I think next year should be pretty good.

New Shumon I haven't heard anything about though. Do you have a source on that?

>>12700999
>Do you have a source on that?
Just few fucking posts above in this very thread.

Anyone read できない私が、くり返す。? Is it worth time? And what its focus on time travel? It's really difficult theme and I just can't help but be sceptic when it comes to Akabeisoft.

Whoa, I'm not the only one.

Why isn't anyone translating Kimi ga Nozomu Eien? Is it that hard to work with RUGP? I heard Muv Luv is on the same engine and it's translated. Why?
Is there anyone who's interested in translating it?

Read Reika's route in Secret Game:Killer Queen.
Was hyped for it, but left somewhat a bit dissappointed, though it's not bad. Maybe it is not that interesting to read the same setting several times with different routes.

>>12701219
Because everyone knows Japanese and does not need "translations".

>>12701219
This is probably the worst place to ask this question.

>>12701219
Would you be interested in funding it if some crowd funding based translated started?
I've been thinking of starting something like this and I guess Kiminozo could be a good project, âge probably needs money too

>>12701250
It CAN be interesting, KQ just doesn't really do a good job at it. Keep going till the end though, it's kinda worth it.

>>12699689
>. I cant fap 10 times in fucking 2 hours

Son, you need to train more.

>>12701312
Nah, i was just interested in trying to translate it myself. And wondered, why it's not translated. Either RUGP is too gruesome, or nobody really needs it cause it's inferior to M-L. I searched for something to insert text into VN, found Araltrans, but i don't understand how to work with this app. Also don't speak Korean.
>>12701319
Will try, but not sure if worth it. Karin is just another Reika, no?
I guess i'll read 4th episode, i seems to be different from other girl's routes.

I finally beat one route in a 14-year-old VN. Makes me think about the piles of VNs that I've started and never finished.

>>12701312
age doesn't deserve any money with all the utterly shit titles they've put out nonstop since 2011 or so.

>>12701219
The game is huge for one, it hasn't aged too gracefully, and there's about 5 billion H Scenes in the game and last I heard 99% of translators were scared to death of them due to their puritan upbringings.

>>12701319
Also,
1st: Why can't Reika destroy Joker? Was it in the rules and i just missed it? Also, i was sick at the end of the route because of unnessecary drama. Why did they both forget about 48 hours in handcuffs? As far as i noticed, there were about 10 hours before game ends when Souichi was wounded. 73-10-7=56.It's 8 hours. Deduct a couple of hours since the preparation and the battle itself. It's still longer than 48. So he could safely remove his collar. Or they could not be idiots and bait with pda's left in place and ambush Karin that way.

Redoing Demonbane on PS2 years after I did it on PC and I'm appreciating even more now, it's really the definite version.
Hagenaya is a great writer too

Is this thread really exclusively discuss untranslayed stuff or just some weebs being elitist?

>>12699819
Someone of the ones that I am looking forward to, but >>12700999 didn't mention.

My favourite VN this year. It's definitely worth your time. But don't read it for the time travel because it's only a plot device for the whole " the future can't be changed no matters how many time you returns to the past and repeats it ". Read it for the well-written comedy and drama, also the mc is really great, it is rare to write fun mc like this and give him good character development later on the story. The game sure has its flows that stopping it from being a masterpiece or a kamige like the other 3 heroine not being as good as the main one or not taking more advantage of the time travel aspect but it's surely a must read for me. I actually remembered why I loved reading vn at the first place by reading this.

The writer is talented one being this his first work, Iam really looking forward for the next VN he writes.

And I was really liking the plot up until this point too. Hopefully the H-scenes aren't too shitty.

>>12701680
Both.

>>12701785
I like the H-scenes since they are short and don't make the readers want to cut themselves like other titles. Sumeragi's art certainly helps too.

>>12701785
Just relax and have fun. The game is short and entertaining. If you liked everything before then, you should like the rest.

>>12701680
For every 1 eroge that's translated, there's 100+ out there that isn't.

Take a wild guess at what most people would like to discuss.

>>12701785
I was thinking about playing that, but the art in some of these screenshots just looks terrible.

>>12701871
>>12701915
Alright, I take back what I said. The scene was actually pretty hot and not all that out of place. Kind of disappointed there wasn't a scene with Iyo though, they gave you the choice but they both ended up playing it off as a joke.

>>12702065
The art is great and has a lot of charm. Unless you're talking about Kikyo's face, it took me a while to get used to it.

(Major Leyline 2 spoilers in image.)

Question for anyone who has played Leyline 2. I really dislike the routes and glossed over the ones here for story relevant content. Is Ushio's route canon or necessary in this game?

>>12699689
When I don't want to fap I just CTRL through sex scenes and fap to them later in the 回想 mode.

>>12702616
Ushio's route is the canon route, always.

>>12702616
I don't know how they're going to handle the third one, but you can complete both games without even getting into any heroine routes at all. Ushio's route takes place in the epilogue provided you triggered enough of her flags and at least the route in the second game also presumes that they fucked in the first game, though neither of her epilogue routes contained any major plot stuff as far as I'm aware.

>>12699092 here.

A couple of hours in and this is surprisingly pretty good so far. Nice characters, comedy and interesting/unique setting...let's hope it follows through on the rest of the common route and heroine routes.

Black hair is my new fetish.

>>12703352
But none of their hair are black.

>>12703352
I'm also playing this and its really nice, specially how are they take steps until having sex, like holding hands at first, then kissing on the cheek another day, then lips etc.

>>12703410
It's anime black.

>>12703493
>specially how are they take steps until having sex, like holding hands at first, then kissing on the cheek another day, then lips etc.
Picked up. That kind of progression is really nice in eroge.

>>12692858
Kind of like Kusarihime

>>12703499
>>12703410
There's a somewhat lazy patch in their website for the pedantic among you anyways.
http://ファイヤワークス.jp/special.html

>>12702887
>>12703135
Thanks guys. I'll just scan over it like the previous two.

>>12703682
Her route is pretty decent compared to every other route in the two games, also short so worth reading.

What's /jp/ consensus for the best charage this year?

>>12703670
Is it available for download somewhere? It doesn't seem girlcelly's release includes it.

>>12703905
As in not just moege? My vote would go for nanairo reincarnation, it had some plot, but it was most definitely about its characters.
Eiri's route in hikoukigumo was damn good too, shame about the rest of the game.

>>12703908
http://ファイヤワークス.jp/blog/?p=407

>>12703927
Ah, I see. Thanks.

Just dropped Hello Lady. Truly the most overrated title this year. I don't understand why people like this pile of shit

>>12703670
They obviously threw it together in a hurry after people complained. It looks kind of bad and it doesn't even seem to change the CGs which is pretty jarring. I ended up uninstalling it.

>>12703913
I would agree with both of those choices. I actually liked the other routes in Hikoukigumo, too.

AstralAir was decent as well, though too long for its own good.

>>12704138
Astralair was full on scenarioge disregarding a couple of routes.

>>12704142
Eh, maybe. It's kind of a blurry line when it comes to games like that. I'd say it's more about the characters than the plot.

>>12704178
>I'd say it's more about the characters than the plot.
Yuuki's route was plot plot plot till the end, the game as a whole definitely prioritized the scenario and plot over characters when it mattered.

>>12704142
>>12704138
I thought Astralair was pretty bad, clearly the writer biting more than he could chew

>>12704138
Explain to me you could bear 50 hours long of that boring game.

What do people think of the japanese VN ranking?

http://erogamescape.dyndns.org/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/toukei_median.php?average=t&erogame=null&coterie=null

They gave the PG version of Heavens Feel the #1 spot.

>>12704205
It was good, a tad too long, but good, interesting plot and setting too.
Not the guy you replied to.

>>12704187
Even Yuuki's route spent a lot of time doing not much. The plot is always there in the background, but it doesn't make up the bulk of the game which is more SoL-ish stuff.

>>12704205
I have more patience than you, I guess. But yeah, that's why I said it's too long for its own good. It had nice art, a good soundtrack, and some pretty interesting stuff was buried in there. It just needed to be cut way down. Like WTF even was Kotori's route and why was it in the game? Ichika's too, though that one was cute enough that I didn't mind its presence.

>>12704206
Looks at the number of votes, being that high with only 7 votes mean nothing

>>12704222
ok fine here is with minimum 100 votes

I guess the 11s really like muv luv alternative

>>12703951
What exactly you didn't like about it?

>>12703951
It was kind of fun but I agree it was definitely overrated. Overused theme done extremely predictably.

>>12688377

It took me a long time to download it, so even though I rarely seed I've kept this seeded ever since. Don't mind what the page says, it should work.

I enjoyed it so I hope others can too.
