Shame her "route" is 5 minutes long

Any left-wing VN recommendation?

>>17605730
But Hotori is the sexiest girl.

Any right-wing VN recommendation?

>>17605743
>Shame her "route" is 5 minutes long
Really? Now my interest in Senmomo is a big fucking 0. Guess that anon wasn't kidding about it being right wing.

>>17605749
Personality is also part fo what makes a girl sexy and Hotori's was garbage.

>>17605791
Generic "honorable fighting girl", yeah, but not bad.

Trial was short and okay. Served mostly as an introduction to the characters and what's happening in the countryside. Will start the prequel tomorrow. There's some jokes in between serious conversations. Just that some of the scene switching from serious to funny is kind of jarring. I look forward to what family politics drama and shit that will be in the full game. I hope that year and a half was worth the wait.

>>17605749
Played it for Hotori and it turned out she's fucking dumb and has the shittiest route. Elza's the best character while the whole game is about Akari. I wouldn't say I wasted my time with Senmomo. It was apparent it was only made for one route while the other heroines are just there to fill the sex scene quota for the game release.

>>17605803
>Generic "honorable fighting girl"
That's also an amazingly popular aidoru in her spare time.

>>17605807
I was very disappointed by Hotori's route (all non-Akari routes actually), but I like her.

>>17605812
That's pretty stupid and I was wary of it before the game's release, but ultimately it amounted to pretty much nothing in the game, so whatever.

>>17605558
>>17605302
>>17605367
Is this girl really fucking two black men in an moege?

>>17605807
>It was apparent it was only made for one route while the other heroines are just there to fill the sex scene quota for the game release.
Yup, August really wrote themselves into a corner with Senmomo. Elza was my favorite too, so seeing her get shafted pissed me off so hard I never finished the game. Fuck Akari.

>>17605829
Those black dudes are gay as hell.

WTF Ushio

>>17605913
You should've seen it coming when the MC blurted out he likes ramen.

Just how much of an utsuge is Satsukoi?

I've never read a Favorite game, should I? How good are the 3 most well known ones i.e. Hoshimemo, Iroseka, Astralair? Moege or drama?

>>17605995
Be sure to play it safely and wear sunglasses

Cute.

>>17605995
They're 2.5mb of padding and 0.5mb of actual content.

>>17605995
I only read HoshiMemo. It had slow pacing and some real issues with the plot in the true route but I loved the art, music and atmosphere it had. I consider it more of a charage/nakige than a moege, there are lots of funny and cute moe moments but the focus is on character drama.

Is there any eroge with a more Western, I guess, style sexy heroines rather than cutesy ones?

>>17606148
Elf games.

>>17606076
I really hope the number of heroines doesn't mean it'll be like Bullet where most of the girls got just one scene and only two of them actually had routes.

>>17606148
Empress games maybe

>>17606225
Bullet was so disappointing in that aspect, worse part is that they had the chance to enhance the scenario/have proper routes in Revellion but all they did was upgrade the CG and called it quits.

Bringer SHOULD have more than one scene per heroine easily, I doubt GIGA would spoil that much content with the gallery preview if that was not the case.

>>17606076
That safety pin is just a really fancy pin she used because shes embarrassed about her jacket and not part of the uniform, right?

White Album 1 is fucking hilarious. The girls go out of their way to cuck poor Yuki in the worst way possible while she keeps believing they're her friends.

What are some VNs where the side characters actually end up getting together instead of just the MC having a girlfriend? Ive heard oretsuba does it, is that true?

Huh, Flowers released mid month instead of end of month. Comes out in 6 days for anyone that cares.

>>17606725
Dies irae

>>17606725
Kanishino. There's a side girl whose whole shtick is having a crush on another male teacher from the start and they get engaged off-screen in a handful of endings.
Senshinkan has the protagonist's two male friends with their own separate love interests, and IIRC Asairo has minor nudges towards such thing later on but neither games really go all the way through with it. Out of the two Senshinkan is absolutely more overt about it though.

>>17606980
Senshikan fandisk kinda closes the deal in that regard.

>>17606980
What the fuck? Dropped

>>17605894
Seems great, I guess I'll play it. Original game's (Shinkirou) art seems better imo though, I might play it first before jumping into remake.

Are you supposed to do Prelude before the Oretsuba main game? I see that it came out first but it has a lot less votes on EGS/vndb for some reason. What's the deal?

>>17607259
No, just jump into the main game. You can read prelude after if you want.

>>17607303
Does it spoil something from the main game?

>>17607848
Whenever I see a VN explaining foreign countries I always have the picture of your typical anime nerd in my mind who has the wildest delusions about Japan.

The heroine of それでも妻を愛してる2 is way too good to be flushed down the NTR toilet.

Is there any value in looking up kanji by radical rather than extracting the text automatically? I figured it would stick in my mind more if I manually had to look up kanji but at this point it feels way too cumbersome to be worth it.

Ask DJT.

Try Bimen games

Finished the prequel. That was really interesting. Gave me a better idea of what's happening during the trial. It shows circumstances in the Yoshioka family and the MC and Juri's past. How am I supposed to root for not-Nono in the main game after reading the prequel?

Yoshioka dad is a cuck.
Yoshioka mom is a slut based from well, what just happened and what Juri told her
Nanoha in the trial is what I assume the mom got pregnant with because of her age and when the prequel was set

Can't wait till the end of the month. Hope those countless delays and a year and a half was worth it.

>>17609314
泥亀の月 was a nice surprise for me. Wasn't expecting a backstory that complex for what I thought was just going to be a simple love triangle drama. I also appreciated the writing style; it felt "old-school" in a good way, like something from the early 2000s.

>How am I supposed to root for not-Nono in the main game after reading the prequel?
I know what you mean, I like Juri a lot as a character. It's going to be tough choosing between her and the adorable Iroha.

i have finished about all i can stomach of marshmallow ouchies and am left with little more than the faint, lingering sensation of shame that accompanies eating an entire bucket of ice cream by one's self. hated almost every minute of it and i spent very little time without a hand on either the ctrl key or my dick. and when those scenes dragged on for as long as they did, sometimes both.

this has only confirmed my suspicions that a) these kinds of games are not what i enjoy, regardless of anything my penis might have to opine on the matter, and b) much like an alcoholic swears off booze forever after a bad hangover, only to be back on the wagon the next day, i'll probably be back again next time something shiny and vapid with nice art comes around.

>>17609811
Well, the game is extremely boring and the comedy is flat out bad, can't blame you.

>>17609314
I remember trying to read this a few months ago but the writing bugged me so immensely I dropped it within the first 10 minutes. Felt like a D tier amateur doujin writer. Though maybe part of that was coming just off a Romeo game.

>>17609828
I've seen multiple people on the Japanese side describe the writing as very 昭和-y, like an old yakuza movie or something. Maybe that just doesn't appeal to you?

>>17609947
I have never read anything from that period so I dunno. I'll give it another shot when Omokage is out and gets good reviews.

>>17609314
Oh I was expecting something like an average moege from the Omokage Railback to be honest, can you inform me a little about that, like how is it interesting and different etc?

Which version of Aiyoku no Eustia is best? According to vndb the download edition has simple animations, but the new edition is listed as having no animations.
Are there any additions in the new edition or should i just get the download version?

>>17610101
It's basically a love triangle drama, but there's a lot going on in the background with the corporation and townspeople. I don't know what direction it's ultimately going to take, but the setting has a lot of room for the writers to do interesting things with it. I personally also enjoyed the way it's presented (at least in the trial): third-person, relatively large cast, shifting perspectives. Makes it read more like a novel than a typical eroge.

To be honest it's a bit hard to get a handle on, because the trial itself is short and the prequel story, 泥亀の月, has a very different tone from the main game and focuses on different characters for the most part. I would suggest trying out 泥亀の月 (link: >>17602565), and seeing what you think. It's a pretty interesting little story, even just on its own.

>>17609811

I'm not completely against moege and like some, but Marshmallow was not too great. It's just: Most moege are even worse. Even a lot worse. I tried the Whirlpool release of the same month, and it made me hate all the girls within not even 10 minutes. Marshmallow may not be that great, but it was better than that.

Moege are ultimately just about how much you can resonate with one of its heroines. I think, the moment you are fine with reading more than one route, it's already a failure. How can "you are the only one!" and all the "pure love" stuff work, if you go just from girl to girl, like a horny dog who's just in for the tits anyway? It just feels fake and empty. And if you want tits... I still feel there are better options. Especially in the July release week.

>>17610179
>the moment you are fine with reading more than one route, it's already a failure
Considering the alternative is just reading another girl's route in a different game anyway, I don't think that's a very good standard for judging games.

>>17610179
What a retarded post

>>17610179
>the moment you are fine with reading more than one route, it's already a failure
Uh
It's exactly the opposite. If you have more than one girl whose route you're interested in, it's a success. I never bother with routes of girls that seem like shit in the common route.

>>17605758
There actually isn't much dabbling into politics besides the scenes where Elsa argues for democracy. It's more like a cartoonishly masturbatory conflict + historical tracing of the change towards constitutional monarchy (except for the fantasy). It almost felt like a parody. I'm completely fine with it though, but it was weird since I had read Yoakena before.

>>17610185
Ideally, the perfect game would have a girl so good you never play another VN again and spend all your time replaying her route, admiring all the posters and figures of her decorating your room, and writing to the company asking them to make more games with her in them. I've played a few that have come close, as in I've bought all the goods of her I can and replayed my favourite scenes with her multiple times, but none of them were good enough to stop me moving on to other VNs.

>>17610224
>but none of them were good enough to stop me moving on to other VNs
Guess they were all failures then!

>>17610101

What this guy said >>17610166 >>17609610
The love-triangle part is at the trial since that where the Iroha is introduced, love at first sight with the MC but reveals that the MC likes(?) Juri. And there's hint of family politics involved in the trial and that was pretty apparent with the prequel. I was also expecting a moege with some simple story going on with the corporations and all but it feels like it's going to be deeper than that due to that hint I mentioned.

And I'm liking the main two chicks already. I went in just because of Iroha who looks like Nono from Yotsunoha but damn her character feels great because she looks like that but has authority. And Juri because of the prequel, she wasn't shown that much on the trial.

I had this shit pre-ordered for a year and a half ago just because of that Nono bonus. Now my pre-order ticket has the ink faded a bit too much.

>>17610185

A completely different cast makes for a completely different experience. But if you have the same cast, the same protag and so on, going from girl to girl will always cheapen the "pure love" aspect. You aren't fine with the girls getting another boyfriend in a different route either. Probably at least. It's a similar thing.
If however you only play one girl's route and say "yes, this was this guy's/my story and I'm absolutely content with it", then the "you are the only one" pure love stuff has more value. The relationship has some staying power. If you think back to the game, this one relationship defines it. Reading another route would just feel silly with a (for you) perfect ending for this game/MC/story. At least for a while.


>>17610205

Interested in is fine. If the other girls are simply shit, then yeah, that's probably not that great. The point however is, that one girl needs to be good enough that you still don't want to read another girl's route afterwards, even though you'd normally be interested. In my case, at least for a couple of months. Not like you have to never ever get back to it. You can even reread the route at that point, if you want to, and rediscover what you liked so much.

Now, mind you, this is super rare. But I do think that if you aren't feeling even somewhat reluctant to just play another route in a moege, the girl and/or route was simply not too impressive. No matter what, if it really was so great, you should feel like you'd rather see more of that girl, rather than playing another route. Or the ending should've been so nice that it'd feel weird to continue after it. Something.

Subarashiki Hibi is a babby's first VN of the worst kind. It's a bad story, a clusterfuck of setting and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive rape faggotry and DEEP. The NEET anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for real deal kids who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The bullies all trying their hardest to look cool, the different kinds of drama, the peculiar, colorful costumes, the whole "tripping out" faggotry and everything about the Subarashiki Hibi world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the angst-ridden character backgrounds, emphasis on heroism, and the overall preachiness of the whole story makes it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes normals and underage retards obsessed with cartoons eat this shit right the fuck up.

Subarashiki Hibi is basically THE series to attract the most hated kinds of (self-proclaimed) otaku known to /jp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this franchise and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Subahibi threads ever encourage the real deal fags to show their faces here.

Last time people in this thread discussed it we seemed pretty divided on it. Like the other anon I also preferred the first three routes more, i.e. Miyabi > Tonoko > Shino.
Sumika and Misaki's routes are bit lackluster but Yuuna's is better. However Yuuna's route is locked behind enforced order and you have to complete the other two routes first, in which case be sure go in Sumika > Misaki > Yuuna order. The reason for this is that while you technically can do the first two in either order, Misaki's route heavily spoils and solves Sumika route's main drama.

Also there's a short additional epilogue and additional vocal track if you finish all the routes.

Does anyone actually like the moving text boxes in stuff like Purple Software games? Thankfully you can enable normal text boxes at least

>>17616429

I never minded it and like the idea of "textbox close to character speaking".

>>17616429
I don't mind moving text boxes. Feels kinda like a manga.

I said ignore moogy-posters.

I hope someday the person who brings him up gets an auto ban.

>>17616429
I like 'em. Takes up less screen space that could otherwise be spent on scenery/cute girls. Also this >>17616577

>>17615268
Thanks, just got to Abend. The male characters are actually pretty annoying and hindering my enjoyment...don't like Akashi and the foreigner at all. The convo between Rina and Yuumi at the start of Abend was pretty cute though.

>>17617448
Extremely general spoilers.

Akashi turns out to be based as fuck.
Thomas gets what he deserves in the end.

>>17617481
Good to know. The part where Thomas sabotages the art club sketch event really didn't sit well with me. Akashi kinda proved himself a bit useful there though. Not sure how Toritani and the others were still ok with allowing him to join after that.

>>17617448
The male characters (Naoya, Kei, Friedmann, Kenichirou in particular) are honestly the best part of the game by a large margin, though it takes a while for them to take off. Akashi gets pretty good too, you'll see what his deal is fairly soon (said second half of Abend).

>>17617608
it's nice to see the male shirts are equally as shrink-wrapped as the female ones.

>>17617608
Guess I'll try to stay optimistic for them to show their good sides.

>>17617724
Those skirts and zettai ryouiki are very tempting.

>>17617608
>The male characters (Naoya, Kei, Friedmann, Kenichirou in particular) are honestly the best part of the game by a large margin
I thought I was the only. The only heroines I liked were Ai-sensei and Yuumi. It's kinda weird to have my favorite characters to be all male in a fucking eroge of all things, sasuga Scaji.

Read anything good lately, gents?

>>17619230
Pic related's OST made me wet.

>>17619230
I'm going back and forth between Sumire and Yumemishi (https://vndb.org/v565).).

Sumire had pretty good receptions here a few years back. The protagonist being a working adult adds extra point. His narrative about being unable to enjoy anime/eroge due to the hectic work life really resonates with me.

Yumemishi's route structure is interesting, to say the least. Too bad the writing is bland with most of the jokes fell flat.

>>17619251
Would you still eat a mermaid even if it's been in the garbage?

>>17619251
That looks lovely. What's the catch?

>>17619230
This was one of the funniest things I've ever read

>>17619338
What's wrong with her left leg?

>>17619345
There's not really a catch, except that most of the art doesn't have quite the same visual flair - just take a look at these screenshots.
https://vndb.org/v20657
It's also very reminiscent of physical novels which may not be what most VN fans are looking for, no condescension or scorn intended.

>>17619381
That's fair. Forgive my suspicions, I'd never seen it mentioned before and it has exactly one vote on vndb (not that that's a good indicator of anything but still). I'm always partial to a good OST though, I'll save it a spot on the list.

>>17619376
Perspective is a helluva drug.

>>17619362

I heard that in japan you can't have relationships in schools.
Has this ever been in an eroge where they have to avoid people finding out?

I heard that in japan you can't wear leather gloves outside.
Has this ever been in an eroge where they have police electrocuting people with leather gloves?

>>17620409
This is true.
>>17620402
This is false.

Trust me, my uncle works for Japan.

>>17620409
>>17620413
1. Leather is an insulator
2. Why would police electrocute civilians?
3. You really couldn't think of a better insult?

>>17620488
What is she doing?

>>17610828
no. They're all unreadable garbage, trust me.

Which routes do I play in セミラミスの天秤?
Apparently some are really bad.

>>17621079
I finished it a couple of days ago, and while still kind of end in an anticlimatic wet fart, stick on Eru and Ami. A shame, really.

>>17621079
Ｍake sure to get the bad ends, they're essential.

This good?
https://vndb.org/v5746

>>17621423
Very.

>>17621423
Not very.

>>17621423
maybe

I've been going through this really slowly. Finally finished Natsumi's route and it's time for Yuki.

>>17621423
It’s not love, but so where near.

Does anyone have the Asairo OST and doesn't mind uploading it to mega or something? My torrent has been stuck on 91,4% for days...

>>17621423
Not really

>>17622321
You know a VN has good effort put into it when it has back sprites.

>>17622429
I have it, wait a bit.

>>17622424
Took way less than I expected, hope it's all.
https://mega.nz/#!0xFCEIKS!0CAZ3PP957kUf-a39FEEdVnDB0tePknUO6TXKos_Ug4

>>17622473
Thanks for the effort! Though I think it's about 20 tracks short, it should be 44 tracks at around 860MB.

Does anyone have a link on the side story of Sona-Nyl, 『補章　月のない夜に』?

>>17621079
speaking of this, anyone want to be a dear and seed the girlcelly torrent? i've been hung up on 60% for a day now and it hasn't budged since.

Enjoy.

>>17622434

Kinda the least they can do with all the reused stuff. Half the heroines looks 99% like girls from another game by the artist.

>>17622686
oh, neat. thanks muchly.

Will we ever be able to enjoy the philosophical master piece which is 俺嫁?

Has anyone read https://vndb.org/v1445? Opinions?

I know someone here read Danganronpa 3 before. What stuff should you "consume" before that anyway? 1-->2 is easy, but after that came a spinoff game and several anime..

>>17622986
Just 1 and 2. Neither the spinoff nor the anime are good or necessary.

>>17622701
They've been reusing heroines since ayame no machi/himakoi.

Finishing up Island, but can't get the last choice to unlock. I tried starting from the beginning, but that doesn't do it.
Any tips?

>>17623038
You need to fuck up one of those choices, basically choose Lynne instead of Rinne once or twice.

>>17623045
I'm not sure what you mean.
The very first choice, choosing 凛音 progresses to the normal route where you eventually find the shack by the beach. Choosing リンネ gives me a dead end and none of the answer choices seem to matter. I don't ever actually get to choose between 凛音 and リンネ and the choices are about who she meets on the beach and her genetics.
Is this not what you're talking about?

>>17623088
Then try going back with the flowchart instead of a save.

>>17623038
I just used Seiya Saiga walkthrough for the last chapter's questions and it worked fine.

>>17623102
>>17623123
This is really weird.
I've followed the directions and saw on seiya to 別の選択肢が出ない場合はセーブを使わずにやり直してみて下さい like both of you have said. Still not working.
Maybe I'll just have to use a full save.

>>17623156
You have to load a save from a bit earlier, not right before the choice. That did it for me.

>>17623189
I got it this time. Thanks for the help.

https://vndb.org/v3111
This one good?

>>17623275
Is this a new meme or something? Posting vndb links to popular games and asking if they're good?

>>17623296
So popular = good? Got it.

>>17623310
Yes, that's what it tends to mean. For a large amount of people, it is good. Asking in a public place will have most people saying it is good. You won't know what things are good for you personally or not if you post all day asking others about them instead of actually playing them yourself.
You can also just use the archive or read some EGs reviews if you're really that unsure whether something is for you and want plot details.

>>17623360
I'm too lazy to do that and even if it's popular it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone will like it, after all most people would rather read shitty moege.

>>17623421
When you ask the moege readers here if something is good, they'll tell you it's good, so your problem is fundamentally unresolved.

>sex moans keep playing during non-voiced dialogue

So this is the power of playing a more recent VN

thoughts on https://vndb.org/v9890?

>>17623452
I think BGV (background voices) date back to even 2011 if not further back. It's just some companies do them and others don't.

Is my 64-bit machine preventing me from installing Carnival?

I've even tried it on the VM and the installation still crashes on the second disc.

>>17623724
nvm I'm fucking dumb and computer illiterate.

>>17623708
Much further back than that. I remember playing a nukige from like 2002 that had them.

Installing older VNs is generally a very nice experience. I've come across a lot of good shit so far. My favorite is if it's the copy-protection that crashes, while the game itself works.

>>17623822
Yeah you can find great stuff but installing is often hit or miss. I still don't know how to get エルフィン・ローズ～囚われの三皇女～ to run. Weird combination of copy protection and lacking modern OS support, I guess.

I think I might be retarded, but I was trying to install Hiragumo-chan on my Surface Pro 3 and I got no voice or bgm, but can get sound effects.
Another one is Ouka Sabaki where I got no graphics besides the logo. The sound is there and I can blindly click on the buttons, just no graphics.

I remember someone asking about when tone works was going to announce a new title a few threads back.
I might be reading too much into this but it seems pretty likely they'll do it at their concert this weekend based on this blogpost.
http://toneworks.product.co.jp/cgi/dp/archives/390.html

Everything in アマツツミ sounds super loud. Not in a pure volume sort of way but like a clippy sort of way, if that makes any sense. Like everything was recorded loudly enough that it blew out the microphones or something. Is the problem on my end? Is there any fix to this? Just turning the volume down doesn't quite fix it.

Want to find a good first VN for my older sister to read but also don't want her to think I'm weird. Any ideas?

I have like no idea what girls like. Was thinking maybe Steins Gate since she liked the anime and it doesn't have porn aimed towards guys. Maybe I should've asked the BL+Otome Games general even though I'm pretty sure she isn't into that stuff, but from what I saw of the thread they seem to talk about VNs so they might know something.

I'd just feel kind of embarrassed linking her something with porn, even something as silly as flyable heart but maybe I shouldn't worry too much. You'd think that after all this moege and dating 2d cuties, you'd begin to understand girls, but I guess not.

>>17625236
Narcissu series I guess, no h so it's safe and imo its something women would enjoy reading it is available in English too assuming she cant read Jap. Eden might be good as well.

>>17625236
I feel like if you're worried about her thinking of VNs/you as weird, you shouldn't really try to get her into them. 95% of VNs are moege and nukige and the other 5% is still mostly composed of games with heroine-based route systems. So if she thinks porn/anime sex/etc is weird, she's doomed to not get into VNs, and even if she does, she'll be blueballed having so few VNs that suit her tastes.
Incidentally, your problem is rooted in something that I would almost call sexism. You say:
>I have like no idea what girls like.
>You'd think that after all this moege and dating 2d cuties, you'd begin to understand girls, but I guess not.
She's not just "a girl". There are 3.5 billion girls on Earth and none of them are the same person. She's your goddamn older sister. Think about what YOU know about HER as a person, like how you did when thinking about how she liked Steins Gate the anime. Obviously if you think of her as a generic idealistic "girl" you'll struggle to figure out what she'd like, because not every girl on earth is interested in the same things.

That said there are plenty of good all-ages games. Umineko/Higurashi (no memes pls), Planetarian, etc, and more if you mention normie stuff like Dangan Ronpa / Ace Attorney / 999. Just throw one of those at her and she how she reacts.

Also, if she can't read Japanese, GTFO.

Your mom, your mom, and your mom.

>>17625255
Narcissu looks interesting, thanks. Never actually looked into this one even though it's pretty popular.

>>17625347
Wouldn't be asking in this thread if it wasn't about Japanese.

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the whole "girl" thing so much, because I don't think of her as just a random person, but I guess I was trying to be somewhat humorous with how I described it which ended up sounding weird, and also because I don't think she'd have any particular preferences for a VN besides something that has a good story and/or humor, and isn't like a dating sim. An H scene here or there isn't a big deal; I already told her that most VNs are porn and she teased me for it.

Speaking of Planetarium, something by key sounds good. Thanks for the recommendations, will figure something out.

>>17625449
>Wouldn't be asking in this thread if it wasn't about Japanese.
You'd be surprised.
Also, sorry for being so hostile. I shouldn't have jumped to such a conclusion as you not thinking about your sister. I got riled up unnecessarily.

>>17625236
Symphonic Rain and Himawari are good all-ages games. Also iirc Eustia only has one ero scene if you stick to the main route (but it has random naked cgs earlier in the game).

>power is back on
that was the longest and darkest 45 hours ever lads

back to amayui

>>17625672
Just wait for the Warlock to appear

>>17622536
Anyone?

>>17625116
Sounds normal to me.

Well of course they should mention it this early lol. Anyway, I'm glad they made the shinsengumi more likeable and kinder here compare to shinsengumi in chushingura and also thank god it is not about time travel and the protag actually came from this era. Quite enjoy this trial, definitely one of my most anticipated VN this year. I wonder how far they will stay true to history, I hope it's not endup tragically for the Shinsengumi

Can any of you weebs translate this sentence?

負荷がある程度かかっていると正常に映ります。

does it mean
1.under load it is affected to an extent
or
2.if load is taken to a certain extent it appears normal

>>17625966
If the load is taken to a certain extent, it appears normally.

This is what google says. If you want to know more, try the daily japanese thread.

Realized why some of the leyline sprites look weird. Flipping barely makes it worse.

I'm really enjoying SakuUta's depiction of the interrelation between art and eros. Some people like to claim the usage as pornography is a negative influence on visual novels as an art form, but SakuUta is a clear and deliberate counterexample to this belief. There's a clear parallel drawn between the renowned historical artists and their love of nude paintings that Kusanagi references and the erotic art commonly employed in visual novels, as this scene highlights. If anything it shows the restrictions on artistic expression non-erotic mediums have.

>>17626272
same, i like watching my mc shove his 12 incher in my heroines as well, vns dont feel right without it.

>>17625236
I think Remember11 is the best fit. You have both male and female protagonist and the story is engaging.

>>17626272
Damn she's cute there... I need to get back on SakuUta. Got distracted by some nukiges recently.

>>17626390

Engaging enough that I tried it three times and always ended up not continuing it one way or another, because it's deliberately stopping plot progression in forced ways. You know. Write useless shit first so the important stuff gets cut of because the "switch" has to happen JUST THEN. Because really, when else, right?

God, fuck that game. But really, just shows that if you wanna recommend someone something, take something you yourself liked... I kinda fail to see the point of doing anything else in the first place.

So yeah, >>17625236

The only thing I can add here is that there's a good amount of Liar-Soft works which have softporn. So if you don't want explicit stuff, something like the steampunk series could be working out. Then again, that stuff is generally very "not VN typical", that it won't make too much sense as a "medium representation" either...

How many chapters or whatever does each arc in Amatsutsumi have? Talking about this number in the title bar that keeps changing.

>>17625449
If she can read Japanese, go ask the Otome thread, they know about those.

>>17625449
>I already told her that most VNs are porn and she teased me for it.

That sounds hot.


Anyways, if she liked Steins;Gate, the obvious answer would be more of the SciADV series.
So, S;G 0 or Chaos;Child.

>>17607935
Well sucks to be you I love NTR.

anybody watch the noraneko anime? It came out based on the vn.

>>17625236

Shit, I think I have that DVD on my hard drive:

Gonna check if that's the thing and upload it. I believe someone originally bought and posted it here back in the day. You're pretty lucky because these things don't usually get uploaded.

>>17627172
Yup, that's the post: >>/jp/thread/S7534243#p7534421

Fuck I'm old

>>17626098
I've never really liked sprites that look you dead on like that, it just never looks quite right.

>>17627717
This is my biggest problem with Monobueno. Shit was just creepy with them looking at you literally non-stop, even when they were having conversations with other characters.

>>17627734
>>17627717
I know how you feel, but that's most VNs, isn't it?

>>17627794
Yuu-shuuu Fluuuru Jean-Muruuure is the prettiest.

>>17627794
Looks nice.

>>17627839
It's okay. The prologue is written by Ou Jackson and is by far the best part of the VN, the writing audibly thumps down several levels once the main game starts and it never recovers, so you basically have to pretend the prologue and the main game are completely separate entities. If you can do that, there's cozy SOL and nice humor in the main game, but it's pretty much as "generic moege" as you can get (minus the "MC is pretending to be a girl to get into an all-girls school") so it's pretty damn easy to get bored.

>>17627855
MC pretending to be a girl or going to an all-girls school is so overdone. Isn't Otome Domain literally the same setup?

>>17627916
I think it's kind of pointless to call it overdone when "male MC going to normal high school" is SO FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY OVERDONE it eclipses anything else that could be "overdone".

It's like if 100 FPS games came out one month, but 2 puzzle games also came out, and critics said "do we really need TWO puzzle games? they're feeling a bit overdone at this point"

>>17627855
>"generic moege"

That's not true. The game's story isn't moege. It's just that there's not a lot and there's a LOT of slice of life. Which is fucking boring in this case.

>>17627937
I should have said charage, yeah, but whatever.

>>17627855
Being bored by Tsuriotsu just means your IQ isn't high enough. It's the thinking mans moege.

>>17627794
That one doesn't look so bad.
Like it's fine used sparingly, but it's pretty weird when it goes on through entire scenes or worse still the girl's default sprite is this piercing stare.

>>17627963
I'm looking through my VN screenshots and at least half of them have "piercing stares" as their default sprite. I'm really confused. Sprites looking directly forward is very common.

>>17627172
Wow, I would be grateful for upload too!

>>17628121
I'll upload the whole disc tomorrow

It isn't actually missing anything because that appears to be the 厳選サウンドトラック. The complete version is the 音楽集:
https://mega.nz/#!25ITXRgJ!9vw3KtSgk9VfWuMH0b6mU79WzwDgbxdO6ccUa0BdtNs
I included the scans in case you want the lyrics or the extremely important pictures of the CDs. I am low on space on my mega account so grab it while you can.

The Noratoto anime is pure gold. Is the VN anything like it?

>>17629340
The anime is basically strictly better than the VN other than the art, there's really no reason to read it unless you really want more content like it and are willing to put up with the shit-tier non-comedy scenes.

I'm pretty interested about playing Chronobox. Everything I've heard about it makes it seem like the game would be something I'd enjoy. I've heard there's a lot of h scenes, but I don't really mind that as long as it's at least somewhat interesting to read. Would you recommend using a guide for the game or just going in completely blind?

>>17629639
Go in blind but save at every choice bit and make sure you see them all, the true end is a bit annoying to get. There'll be times when you have like 5 locations to visit but you'll get hit with plot after only 3 or so, just reload and read the other two and you'll be fine.

Have fun with it, it's a ride and a half. Shame about the porn writing but they do some pretty good scenes as well.

Are there are any エロげ実況者 group podcasts you like? They seem to be hard to find but it's entertaining to listen to people shoot the shit about pornographic powerpoints while doing other stuff.

What's the current FOTM VN people are talking about? I've been out of the loop for a while.

Eh, better than pretentious chuunishit that'll attract the memer fan translators in a few years.

>>17630130
If it was evene remotely decent, maybe, but it's pretty much as bland and boring as its name.

Why do people here hate Hoshi Ori and Ginharu? Granted, it's not for everyone, every route single are bloody long, and the tiny amount of supporting characters in it kind of jarring, and I find some of the heroine's voice feels lacking in something, but I think it does it's job right with the romance, and I like how the relationship advances into adulthood instead of just stopping at high school.

>>17630163
>hate
wtf? They don't get hate. Some mockery for being stupid long and impressively boring/uninspired, but never any hate. Tone Works games are too boring to hate.

wow, this uh, isn't exactly going to be heart-wrenching when MC steals her away, is it

>>17630342
the writer really didn't want the readers to feel bad so he made sure the guy is the biggest piece of shit imaginable

>>17630347
To be fair, why would you steal someone's GF without guilt unless you're playing a game that stars said piece of shit?

>>17630347
i'm honestly pretty impressed with the logistics involved in making the whole thing work without pissing off the moebuta types. everyone says the "boyfriend" is a real good person and there's no obvious skeeviness about him, but then MC just hates him for no reason and his character design makes him look like the sketchiest motherfucker. like he has to be a good person so the reader isn't worried he's doing bad stuff to the girl, but also he has to be a bad person or at least unlikeable so the reader doesn't feel bad about stealing a bro's girl.

>>17630353
it's easy to sweep that guilt under the rug if it's obvious she's much happier with you.

>>17630354
It's a darker game, not a moege, so I don't believe it's really a game moebuta would get mad about.

>>17630354
He's really not a good person. He is only intersted in the girl sexually, and said he world " pass " her to his teammates when he finish with her.

He's really not a good person. He is only intersted in the girl sexually, and said he would " pass " her to his teammates when he finish with her.

>>17630353
Because that someone's GF is MC's childhood friend?

>>17630388
I can't tell anymore whether people are still outraged about this or whether it's just the memory of there being an outrage.

>>17630392
It's both.

>>17630163
>Rika
WHY DID SHE HAVE TO START ACTING LIKE MOEBLOB? I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO DROP IT
REEEE

>>17630704
STDs don't exist in erogeland. I've seen girls get raped by literally thousands of guys and they were all fine afterwards.

>>17630716
its ok the cunt is so useless that after 3 months he hasn't kissed her, let alone popped her cherry.

>>17630723
I bet they've held hands, though. Better safe than sorry.

>>17630721

You don't see them for long afterwards though. Maybe... they weren't so fine.

>>17630732
yeah, but it took him 3 months to get to that stage, and she only let him do it like once. But your right, if she flicked her bean after that she probably got chlamydia.

>>17630723
Now i really start to believe he is a good guy
>don't make a move for 3 months so guys from his team won't ever get to the girl

>>17630733
That's not always the case, there was a nukige I read with a bandit group who always raped everyone in all the villages they attacked, and after a 9 year time-skip all the old faces are still as healthy as ever.

>>17630747

It's probably just "10 years ago, the girl would've lost her virginity long ago already, but we can't do this today, cause angry Otaku".
We already had "10 years ago the girl would've been raped by the asshole, but we can't do this today, so we just let the asshole force the protagonist to 'rape' the girl" before after all.

>>17630747
oh no, it's not like he doesn't try. Just too used to having his underclass female fans willingly going into love hotels and dropping their underwear for him.

>>17630765
Totally breaks my immersion that MC can get that girl.
Noone can beat the Chad.

>>17630110
But I'm white, and aren't all the characters white skinned anyways? They don't look like japs at all.

>>17630775
He is the former ACE of the soccer team and was expected to be the best of his generation. MC was probably the most popular cunt in the school before his leg got fucked.

>>17630785
>literall cripple beating Chad
It gets even worse

>>17628705
Got it, thanks! Have a milk tea.

>>17630342
You shut your whore mouth. Ruri is a good girl and didn't deserve any of that shit. All she wants is to be a loving housewife who will help you make your own soccer team. Plus she has some damn good H scenes. And that's what really matters.

>>17630796
his leg is fine now. He is just being a pussy and wont play soccer cause stuff.

Does anyone have a mega link or something for https://vndb.org/v10338? I've heard it's kinda like totono but good

>>17630827
*blocks your path*
Gimme yer lunch money, kid. Hurry up!

>>17630829
you heard wrong

>>17630809
>good girl
Not sure sluts can really qualify as "good girls".

>>17630837
*Uses spook*

>>17630853
How is Ruri a slut? She's still pure by the time MC impales her.

>>17630853
this
How can you be beta enough to enable sluts like her anon?

Was the new Mushi no Me Matsuri uploaded somewhere?

>>17630885
A 2d girl holds hand with male other than MC= slut. Typical moebutas. Dw anon i belive Ruri is a good girl .

>>17630896
Yep, here you go:

she makes dinner for her pet .

>>17630925
That looks great! Is japanese used in it hard to digest as well?

>>17630182
Do you think every single VNs need elaborate plot twist or drama to make it good?

>>17622986
Kinda late but
Danganronpa 1
Danganronpa 2
Despair girls
Then comes the anime
you have to watch
1 ep despair then 1 ep future
2 ep despair then 2 ep future
and so on...
Then comes v3 which would ruin the other stuff if you haven't already watched or played them

>>17631261

I'm still at 2, so it's not a problem. I'm a little.. behind.

I suppose watching future 1->despair 1 and so on wouldn't be so much of an issue either, right? As long as one doesn't watch the whole of one or the other first. It'd be the airing order.
Come to think of it, rather weird how they aired both of these pretty much at the same time and not just made one 2 cour show where they swap back and forth every episode.

>>17631322
You shouldn't watch them, completely shits on anything good or interesting from the games, especially 2.

>>17631322
You should only play 1, 2 and 3. Everything else is bad and unnecessary.

>>17631322
I played and finished 1 and 2 and just watched despair girls on youtube. You don't have to play it. It's pretty mediocre.

>I suppose watching future 1->despair 1 and so on wouldn't be so much of an issue either, right?

It spoils shit that way.
Despair is the past and future is the future.
You'll find out about future events that way.

>>17630890
You were born too late, sluts are hot now. You might as well kill yourself and pray you're reborn in the 16th century.

>>17631322
>>17631354
Also
>weird how they aired both of these pretty much at the same time and not just made one 2 cour show where they swap back and forth every episode.


They made it that way on purpose you kinda have to have a viewing order or things get spoilt

But it despair aired after future, based on anidb. If they wanted a good viewing order, a 2 cour series with a defined and clear viewing order would be easier.


Well, I don't know. I only know that I probably won't be going to Dangan3 directly after 2, because that already went badly with 1->2, where I quickly lost interest. So maybe I'll just add at least the other game with different gameplay to it.. or something. No idea. Also, it's not like Danganronpa 1 had actual good gameplay, so in that regard it kinda belongs to the series.. I guess?

>>17630342
She's got a cute design and I love her hair.
But that says a lot about her.
I mean she was willing to be with a guy she didn't like, instead of going after you.
Chances are she sucked his dick or even kissed him.

If you aren't a moebuta it feels like a cop out where they wanted to make the girl seem pure by not having her have feelings for her bf and they made the bf a shit too. So you don't feel bad. They could've done a more reaslistic situation. Though, they could've just wanted to avoid cuckyuusei fallout.

>>17631377
Okay my bad I forgot about Hope, that's the third one, that's like future2.
So yeah, just watch it in airing order.

>>17631385
there is a reason she didn't and couldn't go with MC in 2nd grade, its related to the real reason why mc wont go back to soccer and fakes having a shit leg. It's a spoiler though.

>>17631462
>why mc wont go back to soccer and fakes having a shit leg
Is this himakoi?

>>17631476
From what i can tell by comparing vndb and character tags with full spoilers on, no its not.

>>17631356
I mean, they sure are hot for a hatefuck, but making one your girlfriend and getting emotionaly invested? Why would you do that?

What's the best way to play Higurashi on my laptop? There's Matsuri which seems to have the first couple installments but I'm confused about how complete each version is.
Someone recommended the Sui release but that's only for Vita and PS3.

>>17631653
>What's the best way to play Higurashi on my laptop?
Downloading Hateao instead.

>>17630163
I love the concepts of the games but it's way too slow and uninteresting for me.

>>17631656
Hateao does't have a crazy shit, it's just a lot of boring sol, infodumps about religious and EVIL GUY who rapes everyone he wants and people ok with this because he has money.

>>17631653
Matsuri is a decent way to play Higurashi. Most of the added stuff is only partly done by R07, if at all, so you wouldn't even need Matsuri.
The original is already complete enough.
If you really like the characters though, you can go for Matsuri and in extension Sui. Some of the stories are really bad in my opinion, so don't expect a lot.

>>17630809
you seem to have misunderstood me, I like Ruri and think she's cute as fuck, will probably do her route first even if it's not one of the plot relevant ones. i'd just thought it would be a lot more complicated and messy to steal her heart away as opposed to the 'wow, fuck that tool' it ended up being.

>>17631653
>>17631854
You can look up his involvement in the added stories here by the way:

>感じるところ
what the hell was Fia even imagining there after hearing that I still have no idea. Especially if it happened during a battle.

Also are you playing that with the interface patch anon? Shame on you!

>>17631910
Thanks for the link. This is more complicated than I thought.
How reasonable is it to just get the mangagamer releases for now, then figure out the later arcs if I like it? It doesn't seem to have 解答偏, but there are no seeds for anything else.

Is share worth getting for eroge? I just wasted several hours getting Perfect Dark to work just to find out they don't have jackshit when it comes to eroge.

Even though I've enjoyed quite a few eroge in the last while, I haven't really had anything that truly gripped me where I kept looking forward to what happens next. I really want to play a game like Sharin no Kuni again...

>smug, arrogant, confident hottie
>can't have and even if you could they'd ruin her with character "development"
Gettin' mighty sick of this shit.

>>17632526
She has the best design too. What were they thinking

>>17632526
You can.

>>17632526
Well, at least Risa has an h-scene.

>>17632534
Something along the lines of "she called herself hot, wow that's gross who would ever want to date that", I bet.

>>17632535
OH BOY
let me guess, it's a one-off bad end where you fuck her once and then game over or something equally terrible.

don't lead me on here mate, I really dislike Suzu and picking the aggressive girl over the demure shy one is my bizarrely specific fetish.

>>17632526
best thing about her is she doesn't have cowtits like the other girls and still looks great

>>17632526
>Year of the Mole

>>17632559
i know, right? it's like they tried to make her less appealing than the main girls but it only makes her stand out even more.

for anyone that played uta 3 does this appear anywhere in-game?

New moege by Saga Planets being full blonde? Great!
It has a princess with a long as fuck and weird name, some knight girl with sword and whatnot because blonde = "foreign" and stuff? Awful!

I'll probably still play it once it's out. I'll get drawn in by the blonde, and will probably hate at least half the cast. Also fuck the protag not being blonde. Like seriously, "all blonde main heroines" and then that... you are spoiling the blonde blood!
