It kinda does feel that way since its translated and everybody exaggerates but it actually is pretty good and does its job as being a rollercoaster SF mecha story with crazy special visual and sound effects that make it feel extremely immmersive even though it was made in the 2000's.

Disc version might have no DRM, thus one less thing that can go wrong. If the game gets an update, the ones for disc version might be easier accessible, I guess.

These are some things I could see happening. Personally I go for disc version when I can, since content should be the same between both versions (unless it isn't, which could be the case for re-releases of old games).

It depends on what you know already, on your ability to absorb languages, on your effort and a lot of other things.
At best you could expect to start trying computer-assisted reading of simple eroge after a month or two of basics in grammar, writing systems and such.
Obtaining an ability too read almost as good as a native speaker will take like three or four years or even more.

Sometimes that's the only way.

Not sure if it works for circumventing DRM related stuff though.

Premium editions of Windows can change system language from control panel, but if you have another version there's Vistalizator (also works for 7) that enables you to change it. It's easy to do but the process itself takes some time and requires a restart so it's not something you can constantly change on the fly IIRC.

Despite its silly premise Pricchi has actually really enjoyable main plot and the chuuni protagonist is awesome. The gameplay is also pretty decent. Definitely a game I could recommend to everyone.
Twinkle Crusaders' main problem is that it's way too long, and despite this it's not as heavy on plot as Pricchi, though it's not horribly bad either. The girls are really cute and the gameplay is better. The fan disc Passion Star Stream improves Twinkle Crusaders' gameplay in every way so I'd suggest playing it as well if you liked the original. It also has all sorts of small extras and a voiced protagonist in the main story.

Hanahime Absolute is a downgrade to their previous games in all ways; plot is terribly boring with nothing meaningful ever happening and humor is lackluster (different main writers), there's no proper relationship development, protagonist is a boring blank slate and they somehow managed to fuck up the gameplay of PSS as well. Only good things I can say about it are the heroine designs and some battle BGM.

Are there any good titles for someone to read in a similar vein to Aiyoku no Eustia? Or was it truly unique? Installing Rance to play another fantasy game, but are there any other long-form fantasy titles? Willing to play PC98 but those tend to be brief and not very fleshed out. Senmono hype.

>> No.15852904

This is going to come across as retarded: I am reading the SenMomo trial and it is pretty good but my fear is that it will be too, how do you say, Japanese-like. It would make for a boring read if everything not "japanese" will be evil and shit. That being said I like the heroines and will play it anyways.

"I'm a tank. Don't ask anything else!"

Threatened by a delirious man, Yuunagi Shin'ichi had to carry forbidden intercourse with his family.
As a result, his older sister killed herself, and his younger sister aborted, secluding herself in a shell of her soul.
To maintain himself and her sister, Shin'ichi goes around selling "Eclipse Karma Water".
Claiming it to be a miraculous water that can save the soul, it is actually tap-water, nothing more than a "false salvation".
Tormented by guilt and an inferiority complex, Shin'ichi's mind is already at the limit.
His hanged sister revived inside the "red room", and his self-closed sister keeps receiving "revelations" from the television static.
A mysterious girl, Minakami Natsuki, continually whispers--"I'll take you to the end of the world".
And finally, Shin'ichi arrives to the ruined "Cocoon" standing in the end of the world.
Is this abandoned building, where people who threw away the world live together, really the "end of the world"?
Or is it only a shelter for miserable weaklings?
The answer to all the secrets sleeps deeply in the underground of the "Cocoon"...

It's not very long (4 or 5 hours from what I remember, no routes or choices either I think), and how much you enjoy it depends mostly on whether you like the sort of over the top, constant comedy it has. If you've played something like Lamunation or Lovepotion Sixtynine, that's more or less the kind of dumb humor the game goes for, except instead of lewd jokes and American culture references it's lewd jokes and nazi wankery. The titular bomb girlfriend is a tsundere who is frankly a cunt, but not enough to the point of being unbearable.

For BL, I've seen Japanese refer to Shingakkou and Taishou Mebiusline as such, with Sweet Pool being a runner-up, but your mileage may vary.
Shingakkou is reminiscent of the genre in the 70s, and enjoyment of it may or may not be effected by familiarity with vintage BL and shoujo manga.
Taishou Mebiusline is reminiscent of historical occult literature like Teito Monogatari, which although popular with Japanese, is unfamiliar and unappealing to a lot of Westerners.

There's the fetish for mature women, or for BL, or for lolis; in that case shouldn't we should remove adult women, men and little girls from all ages games?

He probably refers to me, I posted how Hotori-chan is clearly the best girl long before the trial was out.

But it wasn't just for kurokami longu. It certainly looks good on Hotori-chan, but I don't care for it much. It's more about Hotori-chan being somewhat of an 女騎士-type of heroine and her overall design (face).

There are countless kurokami longu girls I don't care for one bit.

Girl leaves the window open while changing, and MC happens to see her. Then she comes over to the place he's staying, smacks him, and tells him to leave. It's so fucking stupid when this happens I feel like dropping every game that has this. I thought the whole point of moege was to make the girls likable, not irrational angry bitches. It's not funny or endearing. Make the girl dislike MC for an actual reason, and then it wouldn't be a problem.

At least one of the girls is pretty cute and also voiced by Kaneda Mahiru.

It's also usually the sign of a bad writer. They want a reason for the girl to be harsh towards MC at the start instead of dere or neutral like the other girls. Coming up with a believable reason for the heroine to have a grudge towards MC takes skill and effort so they default to a stupid misunderstanding.

Obviously eroge aren't meant to be exactly like real life, but if they don't write the heroines to be believable then what's the point? It's not 12 episode anime where it's somewhat more tolerable, it's a game you invest at the very least 20 to 30 hours in. The fact that they use it in so many games and lazy and insulting to the people who buy them.

It does work correctly, but the files are stuck because there are no peers with missing pieces online. To make sure try downloading some new anime episode and see if it finishes. I used it for a few years and some less popular files never finished downloading, it's normal (some did but it required a lot of patience). Share is quite frustrating and the network has shrunk considerably because of arrests and the rise of DDL sites. Forget Freenet, it's for new releases. Got to keydb.telegrip.info to search for files on Share, you can at least find out if the file you want was available there at one time.

Winny was kind of weird for me, it started downloading files and then disconnected exactly after a megabyte so it downloaded a megabyte at a time. Never had much luck with it.

The last option is Utatane but it's a trading software and the good stuff is on private servers. All public ones except for KOOL ban gaijin IP (ENDLESS bans it randomly, I can connect sometimes). This network is kind of dead too (at least the public side), but some people hoard so much shit it's insane, of course they need to let you download it and trying to download something without messaging is an instant block.

I'd say walkthrough is pretty mandatory. The side endings aren't hard to stumble upon and are dependent on only one choice at certain obvious branching parts, but the true ending requires some very arbitrary flags that have nothing to do with the main plot (the jokey text message function) all from to the middle parts to the end of the game, with you having to backtrack and use the skip function a shitton if you later want to get the true ending.
