/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Only six games got uploaded and nothing else in sight. Fun year ahead.

>>12983912
Were there any new arrests in Japan or what? I guess it's the year of 21 days of waiting for Chinese.

>>12983912
My backlog is more than ready for this year.

>>12983838
I'm currently downloading あかね色に染まる坂, i hope it is at least a decent moege.Also, Natsuiro is pretty boring, currently sitting through Miu's route while waiting my slow download to finish. I hope it gets better.

Harukiss is kind of nice I guess, but I'd probably like it even if it were absolute garbage since my favorite VA is in it.

It's kind of refreshing I guess that in the two routes I've done so far the heroines get so fed up of the protagonist being so dense they basically force themselves on him.

>>12983912
What are you waiting for? 1/7の魔法使い?

>>12984016
Not him, but I am. Chinese have it in their VIP section.

Finished amatsukaze.
A few parts dragged on too long but in the end it left me satisfied.

The small improvements in the battle system made me enjoy it a more than deus ex.
I liked how you are pretty much forced to configure your build and special card order for every battle from 3rd chapter if you want to win on ふつう.

The "hidden" 白夜 root was pretty fun too.

>>12983838

So I've got through & finished monobeno, its fandisc and all 3 -more smile- patch's and was wondering if there were any other loli VN's that had as many scenes as monobeno

>>12983838
wow way to be racist why cant we talk about huniepop here? it's a vn, accept diversity already you shitlord

>>12984494
>monobeno, its fandisc

You mean you read both the original game and Happy End? Doesn't Happy End already include the original?

>>12984056
I wish there was a sequel about Akebi doing badass shit.

>>12984494
Sad to say that most loli games are pretty short and cheaply made. Monobeno is the best one that exists as far as I know.

I sure hope Lose announces a new game soon.

>>12984494
What did you think of the game? Would you recommend it to a loli fan?

>this many NTR eroge this month
My dick is not ready

>>12984838
>Angel game
More than anything, I'm surprised Atelier Sakura made a game with only two words in the title.

>>12984575
I read both. Happy end includes the original but rewrites two of the endings to be less depressing.

>>12984777
I'd say its the best loli VN series I've ever played. The Atmosphere/Art is 10/10, the OST is good, the MC is voiced outside h-scenes & all the CG's used in both VN's are customizable. Theres also around 90 different h-scenes in Monobeno -happy end- if you install all 3 -more smile- patch's.

>>12984690
Thats a damn shame considering how good it is. Guess i'll satisfy myself on something else instead.

>>12984885
I'm just waiting for the next one with INO doing the art.

>>12984838
I just want a genderbender nukige that doesn't completely suck balls, figuratively. Just good art would be enough.

Which one would you choose?

I'm going for imouto first. Imoutos should always win first.

>>12985015
I never go for the imouto, it's even more forced than your average romance.

>>12985015
I also typically do imoutos first.

>>12984885
More than anything, I'm surprised that they're still able to make the same game over and over again.

>>12985015
>>12985092
Me too, although this guy's point >>12985019 isn't completely false either.

PC port fucking when

>>12985172
It bombed, in sales, really fucking hard, because of the worst platform decision ever.
So I hope soon.

>>12985180
Any Xbox One exclusive is the worst platform decision ever. Especially Japanese games like D4 or Crimson Dragon.

>>12985172
Speaking of which, if I want to read Chaos;Head, is the extra content in Noah version worth dealing with the PSP version? That's the only Noah version I'd be able to read.

>>12985172
never because fucking xbone

>>12985251
Yes, gives routes to the other characters and a they are pretty good and worth reading.

>>12984940
I've read that いれかわ　お姉ちゃん、ぼくの身体でオナニーしちゃうの!? is quite good, maybe you should try it.

>>12985172
I still don't understand why they thought making it exclusive to a shitty American console was a good idea.

>>12985766
Chaos head and steins gate were popular on xbox360, what more precedent would a company need?

>>12985015
Imouto route was complete ahit. Red and silver were best.

>>12985889
Really? Dammit, I hate it when that happens. Oh well, I'm still going to do imouto first.

Completed Kara no Shoujo 2, and it was pretty good.
Quite a bit better than the first game, especially the atmosphere. It relied more on the general creepiness of everything, the incest, and the amputated limb H-scene rather than gore.

Problems it had firstly were the damn slow pacing which was really annoying in Chapter 2, the slow skip function (yes I patched it), and the forced connections to the first game since the connections are only relevant at the very start and end of the game. It would have been fine as a standalone scenario.
Another thing I didn't like is how they are trying to force Yukari into becoming central to everything (maybe setting her up for a potentially gruedome death?). She is fine in her circle of friends, but not so much making her a heroine for Masaki instead of Fuyumi, especially given that Fuyumi IS technically the main heroine of the game.

Despite the forced connections, the final chapter was absolutely fantastic. The investigation, discovery, despair and then the ending credits really hyped me for more. Hoping the third game won't have a long wait.

And in b4 someone complains about plagiarism.

>>12986055
>making her a heroine for Masaki instead of Fuyumi
The intention was obviously the later. she likes Masaki but not in that way, same for the other way around and the prison scene was probably the most romantic scene in the game, really touching.
> the slow skip function
Yep, terrible, I spent a whole afternoon finishing the game after the first run despite how little new content there is.

>>12985103
Angel Game is like swinging or something so it's pretty different than their other stuff (though their sister brand also did a swinging game).

Atelier Sakura has gone through different stages anyways, where they will do half a dozen of the same kind of game:

Phase 1: Girlfriend NTR
Phase 2: Wife NTR
Phase 3: Wife netorase

Here's hoping swinging will be the next scenario they milk.

>>12986200
>Phase 3: Wife netorase
I like their new phase, the wife is a cunt who mindrapes the guys she fucks into becoming cuckolds.

>>12986069
Are you referring to Yukari or Fuyumi there?
Yukari's friends teased her about how she's into Masaki (with her even considering romance) and I think it was Touji who also teases Reiji about it. The multiple CGs she gets about it kinda force the point further.
And yeah that prison scene was great. I also really liked the final bar scene in the canon end where Fuyumi feeds those sweets to Masaki, I thought that was one of the most powerful scenes in the game.
Also, I can understand Fuyumi to an extent as she has maternal responsibilities and all, but given how the end of Chapter 2 screwed up Masaki, I would have thought that he'd at least try rekindle things - maybe in the future when he finds out about Michiru, who knows?.

>>12986229
I was referring to Yukari first and Fuyumi later.
>The multiple CGs she gets about it kinda force the point further.
Yeah but it's kinda left there, I doubt they are going to make the MC's imouto hook up with another guy, even for inogrey is kinda making peopel mad just because.
> would have thought that he'd at least try rekindle things
I liked that they didn't just go and jump to that they both have some extreme emotional baggage they have to work out first, especially Fuyumi, it's better if they try to keep a standard friendly relationship first, it's more realistic after all the shit they've gone through, as it's clear their feelings are still there, buried under piles of regret and depression.

>>12986254
>Inogrey making people mad
I haven't played it yet, but I thought the all ages for FLOWERS made quite a few people mad enough as it is. I hear it's pretty good though.

And I get your point about the relationship. I suppose it would have been a bit too unnatural to jump into it all straight away, but everything is still there and may develop further when they release the third game.


I think I'm going to go play something more upbeat now to get over the general misery of the past week.

>>12986200
>netorase

Call me a faggot but I have no idea what this is.

Finished Ley Line 3. Like the anon in the previous thread said the twists weren't as awesome and in my opinion it didn't have as much of an emotional impact as the second game's final chapters had. Still good they went almost straight to main plot instead of dawdling around with small cases too much.

I'm a bit disappointed that my personal speculations about Ninomae-kun being Fuhito and Momoka's master ended up being wrong. I was expecting the weasel to be revealed as a magie in disguise since it had two red eyes and Fuhito called it "her friend" in the second game, similarly how the small homunculus in one of the second game's cases called the girl who made her a friend. Hina being the mastermind was an unexpected twist, but as far as I remember it wasn't really foreshadowed in the previous games apart from the characters just mentioning "she always talked little and tried to leave a weak impression". Nowhere near of a holy shit moment as Mutsuki being revealed as Omaru's host at the end of the second game, which was foreshadowed brilliantly with the first game's Janus Key scene (in which Ushio tries to search for Mutsuki and ends up in Tokusa's room) and the second game's genderbender joke scene.

I personally liked how the main story drove the "homunculus don't have souls" point home, even to somewhat unnerving amounts with descriptions and past stories about Fuhito, Rito and others. I was expecting them to pussy out with some sort of "all homunculus have real feelings after all" excuse and I'm glad that it didn't happen.

>>12986340
Not a faggot, but an EOP. Learn how conjugate Japanese verbs.

>>12986405
Look, why do you have to act like an elitist asshole instead of answering a question? I'm glad not all eroge VN players on this board are like you. Damn.

>>12986685
Most of us don't feel the need to show off language ability as some sort of free pass that allows you to act like a pretentious ass.

>>12986685
>instead of answering a question?
Because this is not appropriate thread for questions about basic japanese. You should go to /a/DJT for these.

>>12986685
This thread is about untranslated eroge, not questions about the Japanese language. Go to the JDT if you want to talk about that stuff.

>>12986636
Fuck that song. MAKE IT STOP

I really enjoyed reading KKK and I was thinking of getting a physical copy of a limited edition.

Does anyone knows what comes with the 初回限定 of the PC version of 曙之光? I don't know if I get vita's for that artbook, or just the PC one. I tried looking around for the contents of the PC version but couldn't find anything

Anyone here has it or knows whether it comes with an artbook too or anything of the sort?

This thread has really gone full retard with its paranoia about EOPs. This is some Red Scare shit. Asking about a niche subgenre of eroge is not asking a Japanese language question.

>>12986952
>Asking about a niche subgenre of eroge
WTF are you talking about?
Its simple, regular verb in very common conjugation. You don't need any "genre" or even medium knowledge to understand what it means.

>>12986942

I'm interested in this too. The art in KKK is probably my favorite out of any eroge.

>>12986942
>I really enjoyed reading KKK
Is it fun to lie on the internet? You haven't even finished the first route of DI.

>>12987066
>Is it fun to lie on the internet?
Probably not as fun as stalking people on imageboards

>>12986942
Yeah, the PC version comes with an artbook.

>>12987455
Thanks for the info, my friend told me no one here would give me an answer but you came to the rescue! Nice dubs btw.

>>12984589
Isn't Ninetail going to release a game this year? We can all hope for something.

>>12985172

Why Xbawks anyway? They did the same shit with 360 too.

Did MS paid them or something?

>>12987600
That was probably the initial reason, yeah.

>>12987600
>Did MS paid them or something?

That's how it works. And MS was mildly successful in Japan doing the same with thei 360 so they probably thought it would work again. Obviously it didn't.

Oddly enough, I think MS would be more popular in Japan with a new Xbone exclusive CoD at this point. That shit gets really popular over there for some weird reason.

>>12987632
>That shit gets really popular over there for some weird reason.

Does 40/40 from Famitsu still means anything anymore?

>>12987638
In terms of sale boosts, it certainly does mean something.

>>12987638
No, even casuals dont take their scores seriously

>>12987632
Even NamanikuATK likes it.

>>12987788
What a shame.

>>12987788
Never realize his art was so bad when he draw anything that isn't Chaika or Muramasa.

Fortissimo, anyone?

>>12984891
So should I just skip the original and go straight to Happy End since it's included, or would I miss out on something?

>>12987032
I agree. Is there anything that even comes close to looking as good and unique as KKK?

>>12988615
You wouldnt miss out on anything anon but I played through monobeno first before doing -happy end- so its up to you what you want to do. i'd recommend installing all 3 -more smile- patch's though

I read G senjou no maou (really good one, aside form actually much r-rated scenes, it made me shed a tear or two) and also Euphoria was a good one (deeper than i thought although i didn't understand everything due to my low kanji level)

Why is Teito Hiten not uploaded yet? Why are Liar-soft titles less popular than a goddamn nukige?

>>12989459
To be fair, I think it's a problem with Mareni's stuff, even if I waited three months for shining night, but that was a fandisk.

I got to Sakurai's shower scene in the plane. I'm tempted to continue because of the hilarity. Is the rest of the scene sfw?

>>12989474
What Win tablet is that?

>>12989494
Winbook tw801. Works great for all of the VNs I've tried so far. Also bought a 128gb microsd, so this will last me a long time.

>>12989474
Amantes amentes is a 15+ game.

>>12989499
Nice. I just ordered an Asus VivoTab 8 because of that same thread, but it hasn't arrived yet. I also have a Nexus 7, coincidentally.

I realized one undabbled source of VNs for me are the VN tie-ins for LN/anime franchises.

Usually they were released for PSP or nowadays for Vita. Some guy was praising the Accel World VN in the last thread. What are some other good ones?

>>12989740
There's a few good old VNs that got OVAs but I don't really know about the VN-adapted ones. Maybe that Aria one?

Any games similar to parfait? I don't mean Maruto games but more of (mostly) adult cast, workplace and that kind of atmosphere.

Fuck that guy, Amakano and Himakoi were really good. I'm actually not surprised if he is the chuuni shitposter here. Seriously, calling kusoge like semiramis a kamige is the dumbest thing I've read this year.

>>12990342
For some people, semiramis was probably a kamige.
And by some people I meant do-M Ami fans.

>>12990321
If you're talking about the shitty scaling, you can fix that in the engine settings. If you just mean the art itself... well, I can't really argue there. The SD sprites are cute, though.

Anyway, yeah, it's pretty good, and actually has a plot believe it or not.

>>12990376
So he machine TL's all that? And then acts all smart about those VNs?

That's golden.

Finished Hitori no qualia and feel slightly cheated.

The art, sound track and even the story are pretty good.

However, for a short VN it felt like the text is dragging on and going nowhere too many times. I was constantly tempted to ctrl a few parts.

Also, the "H scene" that I was looking forward ended up being nothing.
The voice actors didn't even want to make kiss sounds and instead just made noises with their mouths closed.

What can I give you in return? I don't plan on leaving this thread without this single question answered. Not to mention learning Japanese or waiting for a translation is my only way to find this out, other than asking you. It's not really spoonfeeding when it's the only option.

>>12991226

Out of curiosity, what are some titles you guys really liked that are relatively unknown? I've been going through the 埋もれている名作 tag on EGS and found a bunch of things that seemed quite interesting.

>>12991235
Asako was an orphan that was picked up by the organization and used as an outlet for the male soldiers' sexual urges. She was used as a sex toy for most of her entire life until she managed to suck the right cock and got promoted to her job as a soldier.

>>12991297

Spoonfeeding is awful.

>>12991307
Then how is it actually?

>>12991296
Not relatively unknown (at least in here), but I've enjoyed some of Fukuzawa Yutaka's works like Shoin and Otoshimono. I plan to get Second Novel sometimes within this year as well.

>>12991314
Her parents were shitty people and neglected/abused her. Occasionally her father would get drunk and rape her. In the end Asako ended up killing both her parents and that was when she was picked up by the group.

>>12991347
He's lying though.

>>12991351
Yeah, fuck you.

Though asuseka is beautiful too, I don't feel like the art style is quite as unique as KKK.

I don't see how you need to be a hipster to like things that just happen to not be so popular. There are decent hidden titles in any medium.

Is there something worth reading released in January?

>>12993207
I dont know if there is anything worth of reading, but definitely dont play 夏の色のノスタルジア. I just finished 2 routes and ; Its too shit & too much unnatural. For example:
Mc finds out that one of his childhood friend fall from a cliff because of him, He became sad like 5-10 sentence, then he suddenly doesnt care anymore with some "I cant live in the past" type thing and going full ichaicha & sex with her lover. What the fuck? You just learned that shit 3-5 min ago dude. At least stop fucking for 1-2 days. This thing happens again when he learnt how his parent died for nothing, they dont have sex that time though.

Its not only those, the writer really couldn't handle the switch between sad and happy events. They are crying first because they learnt some tragic things, then 3-5 minutes later they are having happily sex.

>>12993207
There's the 3rd Ley Line game.

>>12990999

>>12993700
If they add enough new stuff, maybe?

>>12993690
Its completely opposite. They made tragic events so low that you cant feel any sad or some kind like that feeling, they are just skipping with 10-15 lines even though they are pretty big events in the game. I guess I couldn't explain enough. I'm trying my best for explaining without spoilers so, lets say like this: Some sad event which pretty important for game & MC last only 2-3 minutes with a couple of "I cant believe it" , "it cant be" etc, then sex comes and last 25-30 minutes and they never come back to tragic topic. It feels just forced and bad, it would be really better without any of those.

蜜柑 is the only game so far that I've picked up when searching specifically with that tag. Shumon being one of the writers was what finally got me into playing it.

Really interesting premise (protagonist is writing three different self-insert stories with the same characters in different roles), but the actual execution left a lot to be desired and many times I felt compelled to CTRL through some parts, particularly the whole third story which was almost nothing but random sex scenes. The major plot reveal was painfully obvious and the skip function being fucked didn't go well with some of the better endings being locked behind tons of flags, plus there's only 15 save slots. OST was a mixed bag of some really good and some really bad tracks and the main theme in particular was a 10/10 in my books. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0UblzC4Tkf6

>>12994330
Yeah the third story was pretty much just there for the ero.
Shumon wrote the second story by the way.

I think Mikan had a lot of influence on Shumon as a writer, you can see a lot of what he uses and focus on later on, despite the fact that he wasn't Mikan's main writer

>>12994081
>>12994307
I like finding these hidden diamonds, and I used to post a lot about them here, but I don't really have the time to play random stuff these days.
Well I intend on reading Missing Blue after finishing Teito Hiten, looks like it could be pretty cool

>>12994313
Literally nothing. If I get extraordinarily bored maybe I'll read Bokusen to see how bad of a trainwreck it ends up being, but I've got enough of a backlog that that's unlikely to happen.

>>12994332
ヤミと帽子と本の旅人
There's like only four votes on the tag for it but the more positive reviews mention it's a great 雰囲気ゲー, including this one guy who gave it a 100 and wrote a proper review about it. I love these type of games and it also has the "interdimensional odyssey" tag on vndb which is something I haven't seen before. I expect it to be at least a solid ride.

>>12994340
I love you.

>>12994348
I remember I tried that a while back and ended up dropping it fairly quickly because there wasn't any bgm. I'm not sure if it was just a fucked up installation or if it was intentional, but it felt too weird without any.

>>12994381
Was there no BGM at all? I'm pretty sure there was a song playing in the first scene.

Now that's some classy funposting, made my morning.

>>12993700
I guess the new events CGs will make up for it just like with eiyuu Senki PS3.

Im happy since i have finished both of those long ago.

btw i guess this means that LxC 3 can happen considering the anime adaptations as well.

>>12994330
I thought it had a ton of potential, but I lost interest along the way. Given how intricate the story is I've no doubt that was due to me not having read it for a few months before going back to it. I'm actually surprised that Shumon wrote the second story considering how much he's held in high regard. I couldn't take it at all seriously. But the first story did seem like the most interesting one, and despite the barrage of sex scenes in the third story its atmosphere was the most effective.

Would you recommend going back to it?

>>12995513
The first and third stories don't really go anywhere until their eventual climax moments and if you had trouble taking the second story seriously I doubt you'll have more luck with the first one since it also gets a bit loony when it starts throwing somewhat scifi cloning elements out of the blue. To me the meta story with the writer protagonist was the most interesting aspect of the game, but its main twist about Mayumi being a person from the protagonist's past is obvious as hell right from the first scenes of the game. Her endings give a great closure and tie all the weirder shit that goes through the three stories together, but I'd hesitate recommending someone to trudge through the more boring parts of the game solely for those, especially when it's extremely painful to replay with the broken skip (that doesn't stop at unread text) and limited amount of save slots.

>it had a ton of potential
That's actually how I'd best describe the whole game. The premise and setpieces all sound really cool in theory, but the stories themselves weren't that engaging of a reading experience for me.

Can someone translate this?

Why?

>>12996593
What gave it away?

>>12996600
It's a even worse timesink than 4chan is

>>12996593
I can too. It's the style of the text.
Minato Soft's is similar too though, probably the same engine.

>>12996662
>probably the same engine.
Not complaining here, i love how well this runs and how all the non-standard options available.

>>12984525

>>12984525
>it's a vn
No it's not. I liked it but it's not a VN.

By the way, why are we still using EOP terms like "VN" now that this is strictly for untranslated eroge? Sure there are some Japanese visual novels but not enough to justify putting it in the title. ADV should be in the title before VN is.

>>12996966
I think the untranslated VN is there for clarification purposes only, if it was eroge alone some people would misunderstand the purpose of the thread. That could be fixed by just using Untranslated Eroge instead though

>>12996978
The only problem with that is that "eroge" is too vague a term for the type of games we discuss here. We don't really talk about non-"VN" style eroge, nor do we disallow all-ages titles. We could change it to "Untranslated ADV/VN General Thread" or something, but whatever. It doesn't matter a whole lot.

>>12996978
some of the eroge is actually just ge

>>12997000
>>12997013
Fair point, I just put everything in this category under the blanket term eroge mentally even if doing so isn't technically correct.

>>12996978
I don't like the term "visual novel" as well but there is no need to remove it from OP.

I'm the one who named the current thread title.

"Eroge" is in the title because even though it is not the most accurate term for these games, it is the most commonly used term. For example, go visit Futaba. They don't have a ADV board or galge board but they do have an eroge board. Same thing if you visit 2ch, they have many eroge labeled boards but only one galge board and nothing labeled ADV at all.

For "Untranslated VN General," it's there because of three reasons:
1. VN is the most commonly used term in the English community,
2. "Untranslated VN" is plain English and is easy for even the new english-only readers to understand (so they don't accidentally post in the thread),
3. It keeps the phrase "VN General" which was the previous title so people who already had that filtered will continue to have the new thread title filtered.

>>12997000
>>12997013
>>12997026
>>12997071

I guess if you guys are content to be pleb. Using the term "VN" just kinda feels like eating EOP cum out of a girl's used snatch or something to me.

>>12997095
This post is a better argument for leaving the thread the way it is than anything anyone else has said so far.

http://strawpoll.me/3559416

>>12997071
>3. It keeps the phrase "VN General" which was the previous title so people who already had that filtered will continue to have the new thread title filtered.

The only reason why don't want " VN general" sentence to be removed. It's also easier if you want to look old thread in the archive. I understand "visual novel" is quite awkward and commonly used by Fuwanovel casuals but please keep in mind that not everything in ADV label contain H-scene/ero.

>>12997144
>http://strawpoll.me/3559416
Voted for スレ, but its "エロゲー", not "エロゲ".

Why Dies Irae is the best vn ever?

>>12997227
I went with エロゲ because it seems to be favored on Futaba, e.g. http://may.2chan.net/b/res/311624172.htm

>>12997144
In japanese it's just so pretentious and far up its ass.

>>12997249
But real eroge discussion happens on 2ch/erog/ and its very mixed there:
http://nasu.bbspink.com/test/read.cgi/erog/1415938727/l50

http://nasu.bbspink.com/test/read.cgi/erog/1391836741/l50

>>12997250
You haven't seen anything yet. Eventually we will all be posting in Japanese. And thus we will finally achieve true isolationism.

>>12997254
Yeah, which is why I figured it didn't matter much.

The whole poll is just for shits and giggles anyway.

>>12997260
If we do that the mods will whine at us again

>>12997266
Yes, because it's banned outside of /int/, if the mods even cared about this board.

If anything I think it should be switched to "Untranslated Eroge/VN General" since right now it implies translated eroge is okay as long as it's not a VN.

>>12997249
Don't they have a separate board for eroge? えろげ＠ふたば?

>>12997294
i think the whole thread should be in japanese if we actually want to keep EOPs out

>>12997343
That board had less posts per day than this thread last time I've checked.

you guys have spent four fuckin hours deciding what to call the thread

just title it "japanese games no EOP shitters allowed" and call it a day holy siht

>>12997410
Gameplay eroge should be banned from the topic as well.

Christ, the shitposter is completely desperate.

So you guys are having the same issue as /hgg2d/ does with this whole, "this is allowed and this isn't because I said so" stuff?

>>12997518
Nah, we're having a shitposter problem with people unable to deal with the UNTRANSLATED EROGE thread.

>>12997518
This whole ordeal is unnecessary since there are people here who sometimes go through their backlogs and read translated titles in japanese. If everyone knew how to ignore "EOPs" this wouldn't be an issue.

>>12997572
Too bad EOP seek other EOP, even if you don't reply to them, they will reply to themselves.

You just need some kinda rules, untranslated is fine.

>>12997581
Makes me wonder if there's a legitimate problem after more than 3 years with the same OP, or you elitists got louder and whinier.

>>12997605
Both, I'd say.

Also, is there anything wrong with being elitist about VNs? Look at all those nice and accepting places like /r/visualnovels and Fuwanovel and how terrible they are.

>>12997605
The actual content of the threads is the same. If anything, it's gotten better.

>louder and whinier.
Mostly.

>>12997627
because then you end up with shitlings such as yourself arguing over what to call the thread for what is now six hours over utterly and completely pointles shit

>>12997605
Just check the recent threads, yes, there are legit problems.

What worked for 3 years ago don't work now.

>>12997632
There is no need to argue, the name is clearer now, there are only shitposters left.
And yes, best deal with this shit now as opposed to half of the threads being devoted to translated VNs like in the last couple of threads.

>>12997635
if you think the threads are worse than they were three years ago you're a fucking nutter

we have this discussion every year and in the end it always goes back to VN general because nobody genuinely gives a fuck

So only one vote for old thread name. Pretty much proves it that "i'm oldfag blahblah eop stupid meme blahblah translated discussions are fine and it always was this way" shitposter is only one autist who just hates this thread.

>>12997644
Well, I give a fuck now, and the thread name is changed, so that's something.

>>12997632
But I didn't participate in that argument. Sadly it's too easy for one person to start it and someone will always join in.

>>12997645
Just need to stop replying to that guy and keep on discussing.

>>12997645
I made only a single post in this stupid discussion so far. You see, I mostly try to not shit the thread with meta, and I understand why a good amount is going for the new title, since a bunch of people start to go batshit when an EOP posts.

>>12991296
doujin games like 蟲ノ目 and J.Q.V.
There are quite a few good ones.

>>12991296
The 埋もれている名作 tag on EGS didn't seem to be all that 埋もれている to me.

The first game there was Sharin no Kuni, wasn't it? That's an unknown title?

>>12997723
There's even Subahibi with like 5 votes and genrin IIRC. Although stuff like Aster I don't see many people talking about.

>>12997645
After the thread title changed, i don't see "hey guys i just finished katawa shoujo/fatestaynight recommend me similiar vn pls XD" post anymore. That's an improvement.

>>12997814
pls don't talk about it anymore, pls I beg out of you.

None of this would have happened if that one guy never responded. I guess I should have made a reminder not to respond to shitters shortly after that was posted.

Love how leyline games allows to hide the chatbox color and buttons. You have to set the font to msgothic for it to look ok though.

Wish other games would follow this and include it in the settings.

>>12998630
I hate it when games allow you to set the alpha of the text box's background to 0% but keep the frame completely visible, fuck that shit.

>>12998370
It's not uploaded.

The new bishoujo mangekyou got delayed another month, holy fuck

On the bright side the voice samples of the two new girls are pretty good

>>12997723
Some things don't stay buried.

>>12999005
Yeah just saw that. Assuming it's as short as the others I'm pretty amazed it got delayed twice. It's been a long time since the last Biman game, too.

>>12999033
I hope it's bigger in terms of ero cg volume at least, if not length.

>>12984885
I'm just happy they finally got with the times and started to make games in 720p.

I recently discovered NTR eroge and I think eroge really is the best format for this fetish.

>>12999391
>I think eroge really is the best format for this fetish
I like it since you can usually choose the guy who is going to NTR, but I prefer when they give you avoid/kill the guy options, feels more cathartic.

Do Japanese VNs work on Windows 10 well? Anyone tried it on the beta?

>>12999391
>I'm just happy they finally got with the times and started to make games in 720p.
>got with the times

720p is crappy and way too small unless you have a resolution from 2008.

>>13000121
>unless you have a resolution from 2008.

Sounds like Japan

>>13000139
I don't know why people push this myth. My Japanese friends on FFXIV all have stuff like 970 SLI and 1440p.

>>13000121
I had 1920x1080 at 80Hz in 2008.

>>13000174
I know. 1080p is a 2008.

>>13000189
2008 res*

>>13000189
It also displayed 2560x1600 at 60Hz fine, but the focus and grille just couldn't resolve every pixel.
Regardless, there's always going to be a higher end to expect than the standard. I'm happy they're going with 720 minimums nowadays at least.

>>13000201
Your 1080p wasn't good in 2008, so 720p isn't "with the times". I was responding to an anon that said he was happy that they "got with the times".

>>13000215
Using console games as a base to judge from, 720p at 30 FPS is still acceptable to most it seems. It cannot be helped.

>>13000222
That's because TVs are viewed from far away.

>>13000234
Laptops use smaller screens at similar distance and are valid to consider as well.
As much as I would love support for 1080p-4k and 120-144FPS for everything, it really is silly to expect it.

>>13000243
Laptops with sub 1080p resolutions haven't been common for 3 or 4 years now.

You guys make terrible businessmen.

Take a look at Steam's hardware stats page. We can assume the survey participants have better or equal hardware compared to eroge users since they're using it for gaming which is obviously more taxing than porn slideshows.

Most common resolution is 1920x1080 at 33.48%.
2nd most common is 1366x768 at 26.80%.
3rd most common is 1600x900 at 7.50%.
All resolutions higher than 1080p have less than 5% combined.

This means that spending the money to make your eroge 1080p would be poor investment because less than 50% of your users would be able to enjoy it anyway. Much better idea to keep it at 720p and invest the money into something else that all the users can experience. Maybe more CGs or better system or something.

>>13000341
>Steam's hardware stats
That's where you fucked up.

I wish they'd keep making 800x600 games. In higher resolutions, it's always easier to see problems with the art and the text rendering, and 800x600 is pretty much the perfect resolution for nvl games imo.

>>13000342
Yeah, because I trust your imaginary stats so much more.

>>13000341
>spending the money

I still haven't seen any evidence that it costs more money to make a game higher resolution. The thing they're more worried about is people wanting to play at the native resolution but not being able to.

>>13000354
I like 1024 x 728. Widescreen is always superior to 800x600, I think, because this way the sprites don't bunch over each other when there are more characters. Plus, more text before having to go down a line.

>>13000342
The Japanese don't give a shit about hardware or computers, their average specifications must be even lower.

>>13000448
No they're not, and yes they do. Japan has huge PC gaming scenes.

>>13000546
Are you kidding? PC gaming in Japan is nowhere as big as in the west, they're mostly used to consoles. The 自作PC thing is considered a very niche hobby.

>>13000445
I think it looks nicer when the text is split over maybe 4 lines than having it all in 2 with a wider text box. Also, it's only with bad artists who don't know how to draw for their games' resolutions that fitting more characters in is a problem, and making it wide screen doesn't exactly help with that.

>>13000617
real master race is widescreen with vertical text

>>13000642
That's pretty much the only way to make nvl games look decent in widescreen.

>>13000600
Not kidding at all. Japan has huge LoL, SC2, and FFXIV scenes just off the top of my head. A lot more than that too.

>>13000653

They also made all those Oblivion porn mods.

>>13000683
I don't know what that is, but yup. I wish howaito piggo gaijin would stop pushing myths about Japan. Akihabara even has an esports bar.

>>13000695
>Akihabara
Wow, so mainstream and huge, not otaku at all.

>>13000653
That doesn't mean it's mainstream. His point was that most Japanese don't own high-end PCs, and he's right.

>>13001009
Most japs don't buy and play eroge too, so what do they have or not have is irrelevant.

>>13001009
Most westerners don't either. Doesn't change my point. He's wrong.

>>13000653
The ones who play LoL or SC2 aren't the same people who play eroge.

>>13001053
what's relevant is what the target audience of an eroge has

if you followed, say, the alicesoft blog you would see examples of how this stuff plays out

>>13001161
But 基４ is obsessed with LoL and even draws crossovers with it and Kancolle.

>>13001260
Wow a single case, you sure showed me.

>that one VN you used to like that got infested by EOPs playing after English version was released

What's its name /jp/?

For those who've played Sakigake, help me make a decision. I don't know if I want to go for Yuria or imouto. I'm probably going to go through all the girls except maybe Natsume, but of the two which is a better read?

>>13001678
Go for Ririko's if it's between those two, Yuria's suffers from infodumping. Ouka has the best route regardless

>except maybe Natsume
Quite a few people skipped her and i don't blame them, she is really boring compared to the rest of the cast.

>>13001700
All right thanks. I originally picked it up because of Ouka's design so now I'm more interested, but like a good brother I'll go for Lilith first.

>>12995854
>somewhat scifi cloning

I got the feeling that they were being experimented on, but I never would have expected that. Jesus, what a waste. My issues with the second story stemmed from the fact that it was all a bit too much with the horror elements being incredibly cheesy, to the point that they completely broke the immersion. In comparison, during the first story (or at least during its earlier stages!) the horror wasn't as explicit in that although you knew something more sinister was at play, you couldn't quite put your finger on what that was. Same thing applies for the third story.

I agree about the meta aspect being the real draw here. I assumed that the characters were people that the protagonist knew in real life, but I had my doubts when the lady with the glasses and the blonde girl actually did show up in his real life. It seemed too obvious, but of course that could have been the meta aspect at play again. I think I stopped around there, actually.

>but the stories themselves weren't that engaging of a reading experience for me

That's understandable. Even if one only liked one of the stories but disliked the other two, it would still make Mikan a real chore to read through. It's good to hear that they all eventually tie together though, I might just pick it up again now. Unfortunately I'll probably have to start from the beginning again given how intricate the scenario is.

>>13001664
Steins;gate

How does a VN get infested?
Do you mean youtube comments or something?
Who reads the comments section anyways.

Has anyone being able to play these games:

_"Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou"
>I downloaded a version which doesn't work

_"Comment te Dire Adieu"
>successful download, but it was in japanese... game files made me suspect I could play it in English but no success on that

>>13002527
>_"Comment te Dire Adieu"

This is actually called Sayonara no Oshiete first and foremost. And don't be surprised that a Japanese VN is in Japanese. It's very easy to check up if an English patch exists, you should learn to do that.

>>13002530
>no Oshiete
wo Oshiete*

>>13001664
Don't you mean "that one VN you used to like that got its flaws pointed out by EOPs playing after English version was released" ?

>>13002527
Just curious, why would you play Japanese porn games in English?

>>13002530
I did, couldn't find anyting...

>>13002772
Actually, I wanted to play Tame no 101 in Japanese, but no one said anything about it

I remember when people discussed what they were reading instead of talking about what nips play on their PC.

>>13002805
There you go, these are some reviews of it. Those people said something about it.
https://goldensneer.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/jisatsu-no-tame-no-101-no-houhou/
https://7nightstranslations.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/jisatsu-no-tame-no-101-no-houhou/

Anyway, there's this site called VNDB (vndb.org), where you can search up VNs and see all the releases they got, both official and fanpatches. That way you can look p in what languages are certain VNs available and you won't have to ask basic questions here. People don't like that.

Also, playing Jisatsu no Tame no 101 Houhou in Japanese when you don't know Japanese seems like a hard thing to do, but you'll have to solve that yourself.

>>13002902
>Japanese when you don't know Japanese
don't worry about that.

anyways, thanks; sadly I been on these sites already and the only copy I found didn't work (at least to me).

I will continue lurking and searching for Tame no 101

I couldn't stand Chiaki, even after the performance. It was like she was shitting on everything that happened in IC.

I'd probably say Kazusa true > Kazusa normal > Setsuna CC > Setsuna Coda > Koharu > Chiaki > Mari. Mari's route felt 100% pointless and Haruki was way too pathetic in it.
