Looks like we're on the same boat.

ウブな処女（オトメ）のエッチなお願い looks really hot

As someone that has never played a Baldr game and only seen random pics, what is the appeal of it? The gameplay? I saw a webm a few threads back and it looked like a fairly complicated fighting game with tons of various weapons.

>>17820401
Plot and gameplay.

>>17820401
The package. It has both good gameplay and scenario with very elaborate world building (the ones by Hiei at least, this new one is questionable).

5 minutes OP? What the fuck?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkZjzdKp9V8

>>17820401
It's not complicated, it's fun and I say this as someone who normally doesn't like gameplay. The plot is good especially you're interested in cyberpunk-ish stuff but as it's been said I'd look at the ones written by Hiei.

>>17820398
ensemble sweet games are mediocre nukige - after looking at the cast I am only slightly interested in that title because Tsukino Kiiro (Ushio) is voicing the black hair. Although I'm not fond of games that have 100% kyonyuu so I think I'll put this on my backlog

>>17820398
art kinda looks mediocre desu

>>17820442
They're also incredibly same-ish. I gave them up long ago, not worth your time.Ojounana is probably the only decently entertaining one.

>>17820401
For me it's the gameplay, plot/world building and music.

Anyone gonna do Tsugihagi or the Wonder Fool game? I'm busy with other releases but am interested in how these turn out.

>>17820401
Baldr went shit after Sky. It had nice setting and decent characters, but they had to ruin it with switching writers (zero), and adding lulrandum retarded elements (fairies?! seriously?).

>>17820530

The latter one I'm trying, as it's a nice bad idea. (has two voice actors I quite liked in some roles)

The first one will depend on how good the presentation is. Gotta check some youtube some time.

While I'm at it, also trying:
-The imouto game by Alcot Honeycomb. I'm not into imoutos so this is a fucking bad idea, but some voice actors I quite like, the writer also having written Satsukoi and it having enforced routes making me believe it may go in a more plotge direction will make me probably go in.
-Noratoto 2, provided I don't hear too shitty things too fast.



This month only really has bad ideas. The chance of one of these random moe games being good is low and Noratoto 2 will probably make me angry. Baldr-wise I'm still at Dive, which will probably not change for years. And that one other plotge is also a heavy melonge which quite honestly looks a little disturbing. The writer had never the best art accompany his works, but this seems to be a new low.

I'm waiting for Yami to hikari no sanctuary now that it seems no routes are locked because the main writer only did the main heroine and that always means shit side routes.

>>17820530
Oh forgot but also interested in Ruri no Kasane.

It sure is a lot easier to unlock better weapons now that I get access to the final difficulty.

What is Alicesoft's best nukige game besides rance? Also any nukige similar to tsumamigui 3 or heartful maman, I really liked those 2.

Hey guys, doses anyone know where I can a working link for Remeber11 Japanese version?

I'm just curios... Japanese devs are in 20th century? Some games (Windmill, WillPlus, etc) doesn't have crop window game size... So, if the game is 1280x720, I can't resize the image less, I need to hide my panel on Windows to see the whole screen... Or only fullscreen... I don't understand, what's wrong with Japanese eroge companies? They don't know that some PC have 1366x768 resolution screen?

>>17820616
Out by 2DGF.

>>17820877
Given that I can't play recent Baldr games at 1920x1080 on my 1920x1080 screen, I'm not surprised at that.

Played through Chronobox. Holy shit, this game managed to push all the wrong buttons for me.

I should’ve dropped the game earlier, as it’s the exactly the type of (not really a big spoiler, it’s revealed just before OP movie) time loop game I personally hate; the one where it’s made purposefully obvious to the player but never to the protagonist. As a result the majority of the game ends up being random train wreck mini-plots that don’t really move the main story in any way forward, apart from some tidbits of info you get, leading to another thing I specifically dislike in VNs: cramming the main plot and all explanations towards the very end of the game with all the non-true “routes” acting as overly long foreshadowing. I liked the gradual piling up weirdness, but it alone doesn’t make the ride worthwhile if there’s no actually meaningful content to carry it through. The game already blew its "something is obviously wrong" load at the beginning, would've preferred if it started exploring that much earlier rather than focusing on girls' side plots that don't have such a direct relation to what's going on. I still fail see the point of the protagonist's deteriorating memory with each loop.

I even figured out the virtual reality twist very early on when things started getting really crass and weird, specifically when Kabane mind controlled and then fucking reality warped Otogi and the protagonist into raping Naonao, because it's the cheapest tried and true way of conveniently justifying all sorts of mysterious incoherent bullshit in one big swoop. Due to all those things combined I turned apathetic and had a hard time caring for any of the characters because you know it’s going to be tiny amount of SoL, instant random falling in love and sex that I knew was going to get explained somehow in the end but the justification itself was very cheap, shit hits the fan, trololol ending, nothing learned by any character then it’s recycled again and nothing actually matters until the plot says it does. The locked inside school part towards the end in particular was really silly.

Overall I’d rank the game about the same level as Clock Up’s Euphoria, actually there’s lots of similarities like general crassness, (spoilers for both games) plot crammed towards the end, virtual reality time loop, and main girl being a prick but as a twist actually good little angel. Both also got enough plot to not call them outright nukige and there are some decent twists, but I wouldn’t really recommend either for their story. One thing that Chronobox got right however was Hase, a notable case of idiot friend being actually funny and not just a retarded monkey. Also, while there was a load of flimsy excuse H-scenes there were also many that used character dialogue well and sometimes even talked about important shit (at least in regard to the current girl's side plot), or were tied to the general weird atmosphere so you aren't actually compelled to just hit skip since you might miss something actually semi-interesting.

>>17821115
You've done it now. The Chronobox Defense Force should be arriving soon.

>>17821115
>Overall I’d rank the game about the same level as Clock Up’s Euphoria
Ouch.

I actually liked Euphoria's plot and resolution, but it obviously was rushed and lacking meat in some areas. If they had cut the other three worthless routes (the loli, the sensei, the deadpan girl), and just focused all their efforts into the Nemu and Kanae route, it might've been good. Good faps, though. Very good faps.

>>17820691
First impressions? Both gameplay and plot.

>>17821258
Nothing stands out so far for me. The gameplay is very simple. For each girl you get one weapon, and you can equip up to 3 of them. There's no heat gauge so you can spam them however you want. If you happen to run out of ammunition, you can recharge them by using melee attacks (which have cooldown however). If any of your weapon has a higher rarity, it will have an extra weapon (Unique rarity) or two (Unknown rarity). For example, my knife has Unique rarity and it gives an additional lance attack every time I use the knife.

In the beginning the game may seem difficult since you have only the submachine gun (which sucks), but once you get the shotgun, it becomes a lot easier since the thing is devastating: You can literally charge in a horde of 50 eye runners (which are very dangerous, unlike how weak they were in Sky and Heart) and wipe them out in a flash with the shotgun, while you cannot do that with the SMG. That said, weapons with AOE damage are much more useful in this game than those without it.

The plot is so forgettable that it feels almost non-existent. You basically go around invading territories managed by girls called Disposers. Every time you defeat one, they join you and give you a new weapon. To unlock their routes you will need to use their weapons in battle and level them up enough. In exchange, you are free to choose to play any route in no order at all, but honestly I haven't found anything memorable.

>>17821470

Sounds like they finally went away from not being able to decide between being a plot VN or a gameplay game. I approve.

>>17821115
I don't get how the game pushed all the wrong buttons while you seem to have enjoyed it to some extents. And thats just fine, no one is saying Chronobox is a masterpiece, but it's one of really few games where rarely you get bored with. If you somehow want to read more game in the same style of Chronobox and Euphoria, I highly recommaned Kamisama game.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7cytCzFw4dM

>>17821629
>but it's one of really few games where rarely you get bored with
It's an extreme borefest thanks to 50 H scenes and loop reset.

>>17821629
But I got bored and considered dropping it on few occasions. Like I mentioned there's some good parts as well that I enjoyed and would say the game is slightly above average, but I don't feel like the good points outweigh the bad ones.

I'm saying that once you figure out the general SoL > "romance" > extreme shit > open the box and someone loses a body part + someone relevant to them disappears story flow and time loop setting and virtual reality twist even before the latter's actual reveal, both of which have long since become overused and cliche plot elements in this medium due to how easily they are used to justify everything weird without having to bother to craft a proper mystery with cause and effect, a lot of the side heroine stories, which take the majority of the whole game start to lose their meaning and you only end up looking forward to the next fucked up part and for the game to finally start providing some sort of answers rather than faffing about in its general weirdness. Rather than invoking surprise it becomes predictable, and you don't really get time to get attached to any of the characters. Because you know nothing matters and all the weird stuff can be explained with lol virtual reality everything loses its shock value / impact and feels like filler.

What I personally would've preferred was some sort of gradual progression of the main plot and more interactions with Kabane in the middle parts (I genuinely enjoyed her sillier antics), rather than bringing up some obviously important keywords every now and then without actually elaborating further and then going back to pointing out that everything is quite surreal. Yes dear game, I noticed that in the beginning thank you very much, but I would like for you to now get on with the main plot. That, or the game in general would've benefited from being much shorter since the loop loses its appeal rather quickly. There may have been elements of a good plot and interesting characters there but I felt the general execution was sorely lacking.

>>17821629
I beg to differ. kamisama game was one of the worst VNs I have ever read. The mystery is shallow and pointless, the pacing is terrible, and it ends on a cliffhanger to boot and nothing gets resolved. Don't read it expecting more than a nukige with some violence.

I'll just say that Chronobox managed to really work for me personally because I loved every single thing about the game. I loved the characters, the production values, the SOL and even all of the h-scenes. There wasn't a moment I was bored or wanted the game to end. If you weren't invested in any of it, obviously the game will just seem like an h-scene spam and then an EPIC REVEAL at the end.

I never had the feeling of "oh man, when are we going to get to the 'main plot'", at least.

>>17822193
>>17822274
Isn't that the same twist as 2000's 化石の歌?

>>17822330
Yes, and there's other games as well.

>>17822274
im gonna need your vndb votes to contextualize this statement

Can you skip all or most of the H-scenes in ChronoBox or do they actually have plot relevant dialogue/information in them (not unheard of I guess).

I don't mind H-scenes but they are really tiring and boring to read through if there's a bunch of them in short succession.

>>17822370
Both. Some are pointless, some have important plot stuff and other discussions to the point you could call them normal dialogue scenes if they weren't having sex at the same time.

>>17822370
No, Chronobox h-scenes aren't skippable. Some of them are skippable, I suppose, but I really wouldn't recommend skipping any of them because the h-scenes are really a part of the experience.

>>17822382
Oh alright. That sounds tolerable.

石上 静香　is a really nice (fairly) new seiyuu. I'm surprised at how much I'm liking Iris thanks to her. She also does a character in Baldr Bringer and the upcoming Otoboku 3.

Is Amatsutsumi worth it? I'm like halfway through Mana's first h-scene and nothing about the execution of the concept is making me like it so far.

>>17822704
You're halfway through the first 20 minutes of the game?

>>17820859
https://mega.nz/#!hAxFyRSB!CYLtEZ0IEadNzXjY1t3yG5_Gzyun37t2GjoR4kqsSM8

>>17822714
I have zero attention span.

>>17822704
I wouldn't say so. If the initial setting doesn't draw you in there's a good chance it won't do so later. The side heroine chapters aren't that outstanding and the protagonist's 言霊 ability isn't really used in an interesting way like you said nor is he a good character. I feel like they really missed an interesting opportunity to create a more non-standard morally grey protagonist, since the game pretty much completely drops the more questionable things after Kokoro's chapter. While Hotaru is a neat heroine the real one to be exact, good Hotaru is just boring despite getting all the limelight, her route isn't that special either and she doesn't receive nearly enough screen time to make the entire game worth it.

If you want a very similar heroine who you can enjoy throughout the game try out Bansenjin instead, though you have to play the prequel without her first.

>>17822727
Is this even worth reading? I hear it's incomplete (and also really long).

>>17822762
I haven't read it yet, it was in a torrent pack.

>>17822193
I agree with you with the virtual reality twist part, but not a lot of eroge or other works go with losing body parts and adjusting reality to make up a story to match up with that
As for the characters , I think the game wasn't made to make you get attached to individual characters, but more like a group. The game had a bit larger cast than usual and since all of them was kind of uniqe, they worked well together. The game shines where a bunch of friends on weird island school welcoming a new trasfer student to half of them disappearing and the remains are all handicapped people
That was pretty disturbing to me. And no one of the characters thought that was strange. Even if you knew that the world isn't real you can't help but ask why all these fucked up stuff are happening. Not to mention the cast changes personality when they lose a body part
The game was quite the ride to be honest. Sure, the game would have been much more better with more work on it, but since this is the brand first work, and it's the first time the writer writes a more plot based game after years of writing nukige, I am willing to forgive. The guy mentioned he would really like to write a female MC next, i can't help but to look forward to his next work.

>>17822727
Thank you very much!

>>17822762
The setting is pretty unique ( two MC switching bodies, mystery, natural and social science infodump, human drama and philosophy)
Besides I really like Ever17 and wanted to read something with a winter theme.
The op is really good too by the way
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKcFQoqfIQU

>>17822762
>I hear it's incomplete (and also really long).
The game itself on average is really good. I personally liked it as one of the VNs that use choice systems relatively well, great mystery and tension throughout as you don't know if the choice you're taking is leading to a bad end or not without being too obtuse and requiring a walkthrough. My favorite of Nakazawa's games I've played up until the ending happens. To say the ending is really unsatisfying is already downplaying it. Like you said it makes the game feel like it's unfinished and it ends on a literal cliff hanger with an actual cliff. Some people however say it's "intended" and there are indeed some bad ends that do flesh out certain previously unexplained things or unlock further tips, however they don't make the real ending and lack of conclusion any less unsatisfying as plot wise there's nothing requiring putting an ending there (like in bad ends), it just kind of ends.

I mean there's other games that don't explain everything at the end that might also have "unfinished" bits and require the player themselves to think things through, yet manage to have somewhat satisfying endings so R11 doesn't really get an excuse. F.ex. Saihate no IMA comes to mind as a game that doesn't explain everything yet has the basic courtesy of having an actual ending.

>>17822762

It should be below 2mb.

That said, I tried it three times and always just left it hanging. Overly conveniently dragged out writing. Imagine letters in the style of "Hello, It's me. The weather is nice. My pets are well. My wife is sleeping. I'm going to go shopping soon. Also let me tell you about this news I just saw. Now then. There's something REALLY REALLY important I gotta tell youasdfnkyndfanfgyjknj" happening again and again. With the characters knowing that they have limited time and should write the important shit FIRST. But that's not possible. VN has to be long.

Some seem to still like it, but even though I had my fun with never7 and ever17, r11 wasn't supposed to be.

>>17822826
The implications of the actual ending and why everything that happened happened are incredibly fucked up, which is kinda neat.
It just needed maybe 1-2 more hours of plot stuff, but then again you have stuff like I/O which didn't need them but still had them.

>>17822856
Yeah, I actually complained about the same thing years ago in this general. R11 was really good and just needed an actual conclusion, whereas I/O was also pretty great and I was already satisfied with E route yet the following stuff made me bang my head at the keyboard and wish I had stopped at E route's ending.

>>17822274
I went into it with so little knowledge of the game outside of a few pictures and the trailer. I thought it was going to be a psychological horror with a whodunnit dynamic where we try to find the killer amongst us in a isolated setting but that was way off.

Despite that I enjoyed it, I can understand not really getting into the characters since with each chronobox some characters never appearing again or some having their personality become something entirely new. So if there was a character you might have enjoyed and wanted to see more of and potentially get more fleshed out you couldnt. I still think the scenario writer did a great job at nailing that sort of surreal/creepy feeling throughout the game though. I love the isolated feeling the player themselves get as the world around them feels off but everyone treats it as commonplace.

Im not really a fan of the mystery just getting chalked up to it being a virtual world. It feels like the writer didnt spend enough time in trying to tie all this together and just went with whatever he thought of on the spot. I will say at least the MC has a motivation for wanting to get himself into that virtual world.

Freaks was shit, time for chikan.

>>17823109
Yeah, if there's one thing that I wish Chronobox did, it would be to flesh out the ending more. I feel like the writer brought up a lot of interesting ideas at the end but really didn't do much with it as I would have liked.

I was never really bothered by the virtual reality twist because it was something I suspected at the beginning of the game and seemed fairly obvious, and I don't think this twist was the main focus at all. I was more impressed at how the explanation of Gifts and EdEn and the protagonists 'real' self ended up tying into the rest of the game. I thought it was damn brilliant. There were also the little things that really impressed me when I thought about it, like the fact that part of the screen is black whenever the game switches to the protags perspective in the last part since he can only see out of one eye or the fact that the scene at the beach pretty much foreshadows the ending of the game

I think the guy has potential to write something really great. I'm looking forward to his next game.

I love this game already.

>>17823662
There were several things in last parts that really bothered me, like Gifts bullying and blackmailing Kabane into being raped and then into committing suicide through proxy with the other objective of releasing Nayuta from his Gift. The way it was handled was more silly than dramatic, and I think it would've been more interesting if the protagonist had had more direct intent in killing her rather than being a dindu who was unknowingly roped into it, especially how they foreshadowed the massive guilt and self-loathing he's shoveled with and his Gift being classified as the worst of them all, yet in-game it's much less worse than anything else we're shown. Even the desecration of the body ends up not being his doing. The revelation of his pussy magnet ability and his actual Gift level being faked for the sake of research also goes nowhere and only justifies the earlier load of H-scenes. Kabane suddenly falling in love with Nayuta was also very quick, even without the pussy magnet plot device used for other heroines. Her real personality as well was pretty bland compared to what we're initially introduced to.

In general I also really disliked how all the Gifts were revealed to be literally Hitler tier when in the virtual world they were actually nice fellows, and it was handwaved with really flimsy "they were massive pricks all along but we toned down their evil aspects in log world" excuse. Actually in-game the real human personalities were often as bad, if not worse than their Gift counterparts in some cases during their stay in the log world. It came off as a really bad instant degradation of existing characters, while I think without the "evil all along" revelation the game would've been more interesting and could have explored the whole Gift / human relationship and how they're actually not so different, what with the whole society for some reason giving human rights to Gifts when in-game they're ridiculously evil and can be removed without any negative side effects to the host. Pretty much all important ones we encounter are completely off the hook while the nicer ones (though who knows if they're all actually supposed to be outright mad in real world as well) get dropped altogether from the main plot as well.

Can someone explain this?

>>17820832
None of the Rance games are nukige.

I kind of like her but it's a real pain to fight her on Geek Wolf difficulty. That bazooka is nearly impossible to evade.

>>17823311
Tried this for an hour but dropped it. I can't tolerate "girly and yasashii" protag incarnation #85123. Angel shit, back story are extremely dumb too and the only decent heroine is Touka. The best girl isn't even a heroine.

Also this new voice actress https://vndb.org/s14301 ... She speaks every line at the speed of a snail and draws out every single word. What the fuck? I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume this is just the character written badly to be like this but man is this an unappealing heroine if I've ever seen one.

>>17824818
>"girly and yasashii" protag incarnation #85123

You are acting as if this kind of protag would be normal. He sure isn't. He reminds me a bit of the protag of Supreme Candy for example. Being nice doesn't mean it's the same thing like with all those other "nice guys" in eroge. That may actually be what annoys you. He's definitely a protag that will turn some people away, while this kind of stuff is usually avoided. He's not as insane as the protag of Chaos;Head or anything, but he doesn't exactly have big confidence, had suicide thoughts and so on, setting the tone fairly quickly.

As for the angel thing, I'm actually surprised it makes sense. It's not exactly a 100% christian believes conform, but the general idea fits. It's just amped.
God is often considered "the father", with humans being the "children". And if you take this view, the angel situation actually fits. There's the whole "father = son, everyone is equal" thing existing, which would make such a setting even more plausible. The "nobody knows where god is, or can meet him" part also fits with how god is usually shown.
The only thing is that christian believe in "the one god", which clashes here I guess. This "god" in the story would not be someone you'd call "god" in Christianity. Then again I'm not that far in myself, so it could be that this part gets addressed at some point. But even if not, this isn't meant to be 100% aligned with religion anyway, proven by the Shinigami addition. So the whole thing being a plausible enough scenario based on what it's built up upon is enough for me. You know, what if god almighty left and entrusted humanity to take care of itself by appointing a substitute of sorts for himself, but without granting the unlimited power or life to actually remain human?


I'll definitely continue it for now. The idol thing made me sigh, but it could be that that's actually dealt with alright. I know that the author won't shy away from heavier themes, so this could be an interesting ride. I have some not so pretty ideas it could go towards.

>>17824941
>Supreme Candy
How is this game?

>>17824983
Mostly terrible.

>>17821470
I mostly agree, the gameplay seems pretty simple compared to previous games and pretty easy overall. Once you get to a sufficiently high enough level with weapons with the right bonuses, they all turn into wide AOE spam attacks (Even your knife).

I've unlocked all girls just got around to my first encounter with the "enemy," but I still don't feel like anything has really happened. Except fucking Carol, which apparently happens once you get max 高感度. You get character specific missions to progress through as you use your weapons, so leveling up a weapon is basically the same as progressing on a weapongirl route. The girls are ok, but their stories basically revolve around learning about their 元データ past and eventually absorbing them into yourself.

I'm hoping the weapongirl arcs are just so you can get attached to the girls, kinda like extra for muvluv. I'm going to be pretty disapointed if there's no unlimited/alterantive after this.

>>17824547
Yep, she's a fucking pain in the ass to beat.

>>17825033

>>17823311
Makes me want a male chikan game.

People are apparently really liking Nobuchina and Lucia routes in Noratoto2. The former is awesome to hear, the latter is surprising.

How do you rate Kastel-sama's VN preference?

>>17825447
lol

i don't know if it's because i haven't updated in a long time but ITHVNR is not able to capture the text from Noratoto2. good thing my japanese has improved and it's easy to read anyway.

>>17825033
By the way, the game has crashed twice since I wrote this post. Anybody else have this issue?

I bought the game, but it happened with the physical disc. Then I tried using the .iso I downloaded from nyaa to see if that helped any, since my physical drive was a bit iffy. But nope, happened again.

The first time was during a heated battle with noticeable slowdown. (My specs are plenty, though. i5 2500k, 8GB RAM, rx 480) The second time was after a battle and I was deleting unnecessary weapons. I ended up losing my shit, but apparently it recognizes that I beat the level.

これが最終章か・・・

>>17825754
Yeah, it crashed one on my PC today, and several times in the trial version. Apparently it has a memory issue and can't hold up when you die continuously.

Finished 2 routes of Sayonara Wo Oshiete, Mutsuki and Mahiru. Not sure if I really feel like going through all the routes given how the game is set up, originally I was under the impression that it was going to be a game where you piece together the mystery from several routes but as it turns out, I guess they just sort of explain the entire thing to you no matter what route you choose so.

Is there any real life reasons why this game seems to be being a bit on the uprise including getting a new figurine?

I like that the length seems right, it doesn't feel like it wears out its welcome. The ending song has grown on me.

and now spoiler territory

There isn't any happy endings to the game, is there? Mutsuki is apparently the only "real" person out of the heroines and in that route the elder sister and psychiatrist (who by the way, I'm pretty sure would be fired for the shit she pulls) suggest that maybe they can use her as an anchoring point to bring him back to reality, but the generic spooky post-credits scene seem to imply he's kinda stuck in his teacher delusion

Though I notice the ending sequence actually has a bunch of variations to it. I guess it's the answers you give when interacting with the girls, but I wonder exactly how it works.

Don't know how I feel that the "answer" to the mystery is just "He's nuts." I mean, maybe it's just slight personal disappointment that I was hoping for some actual supernatural themes, I guess?

Given the theme word "Sayonara", I was expecting some kind of purgatory reveal but I guess that would be just be kinda cliche

There's apparently a bad ending on Youtube where the MC gets locked up for becoming an actual violent threat, I assume that's what happens when you choose a girl which you don't have enough points for?

>>17823311
The premise of this one sounds awful to me. How is it?

>>17825948
nevermind, there are your thoughts >>17824941

>>17825937
Pretty much, even in Mutsuki's end he pretty much 'kills her' inside himself, and her being his angel pretty much means he's completely giving up.
At least his delusion is different because he submits to a 'strong woman' just to feel depressed and stressed, now he's Serina's assistant because her plan of fucking him failed as she didn't notice he wanted to fuck his sister. It's sad, but as the game says, he lost to both reality and his own delusions.

>>17825742
Its unhookable for now. I'll wait a little more for a h-code.

>>17826234
It's better to learn Japanese. Especially when you want to play an easy game like Noratoto 2. It's not a far goal to reach.

>>17826250
Well probably I can read it and I'll start it in a couple days if there is still no h-code until then, but ITH makes it very easier to look kanjis I dont know yet so I'd prefer it to be honest.

>>17826260
Fair point, but I think that you should strive to learn kanji that appears in easy games by yourself, just by separate study and then reinforce it through reading.

>>17826260
you can try using OCR like capture2text

>>17825937
I'd guess the recent popularity comes from the DLsite release. It hasn't been easily accessible for people to play in a long time.

Does anyone have a decent download for Natsu no ame? The ones I've found are really crappy/dead, so it'd be nice.

>>17824983

Very crazy. You wouldn't guess where it goes from where it starts. There are definitely a lot of really weird routes, but I think it has a pretty damn likable main cast and a good amount of fun routes. Also, I guess it doesn't get boring. Just keep in mind that nobody really thought much about silly things liken "is doing this a good idea?". Otherwise stuff like on pic related would not exist. Can be good, or bad.

Uwaah. I don't want this kind of fucked up future.
Seriously, this shit bothered me from Heart.

>>17820589
>Implying Force is better than Zero or Heart
Grandpa, calm down.
Yes, Sky is the best game in the series, but it doesn't mean that other are not worth it.
They are fun in their own way.
Hell, Zero even executed this certain melodrama in the last route better than sky.

I got the power! Now for the route split.

So far this developed as I figured it would for the most part, though the drama came pretty sudden and was a bit shaky. Some good music tracks are there as well, which is nice.

Now that I'm done, I can safely safe...

Bansenjin > Hachimyoujin

>>17827357
why is that a spoiler

>>17827108
Force is much better than Zero, what are you even talking about?
Gamplay-wise, Force and Sky are miles ahead of all other games. Fortunately, Heart is nowhere near as bad as Zero and Bringer.

What?

I fucking hate giga's font.

Done with the idolroute in imoten.

I was quite confused what the actual point was supposed to be from this route. The idol parts just feel weird/wrong given the whole scenario, while the god and life part is too "easy" and obvious. In the end, it makes sense, but I'm not so sure this works well. There's just too much shitty writing out there to expect that there has to be something more to it. And then there's the problem of the obvious mystery buildup.
In the end I do approve of this route, as it does give a nice view on how things are. Just getting there can be a little puzzling and not that enjoyable at times. Picture is related to where this route headed and is as such a spoiler. Although one can really at least kinda see this one coming, though unless one expects something by for example reading this post, it's likely you wouldn't recognize it. Why would an idol visit a dying girl she doesn't know in the hospital..?

On thing I really have to wonder by now though. Why imouto? Like seriously, the imouto gets literally switched in this route. Sure, there's a convenient plot excuse for that, but still... this seems to weird.

I fucking hate giga.

Lol, I just rushed her in half a minute on Geek wolf.
Maybe because I'm buffed from all these other heroines missions.

Oh shit. Imoten is actually taking place in Satsukoi's world. Those who played it, may or may not remember this one here.

Don't think it matters too much, but it is a very nice touch. And pretty much settles, that this is at least a spiritual successor of sorts.

Do you ever read more than one game at a time, or do you just blow through one before starting another

>>17832859
I sometimes keep a Nukige on the side. Otherwise, only if I get bored and decide to read something else partway through a moege.

>>17832551
The only thing difficult about SakuUta is that you have to sit through the characters moronically quoting entry level philosophy at every turn, because Scaji can't help but turn everyone into his mouth piece.

>>17832859
i generally read 2-5 games at any one time mostly because i'm constantly downloading stuff and falling for temptation, otherwise i would probably limit myself to 2-3 games

>>17832859
Almost always one at a time but if I'm reading something particularly intense (Carnival comes to mind) I'll often pick something lighter up on the side to cool down. I'd never finish anything if I read more than that.

>>17831981
I can't remember but I beat her on 20th try or something. Basically I used the obstacles in front of the bridge where she appears to hide from her bazooka and after a while I got lucky enough that I didn't get killed. She should be easier if you have laser.

>>17832560
Carole's missions in general are a lot harder than Toiro's (especially the one with the scorpion with poison mist). The devs sure didn't get their shit right.

>>17833534

Kids are made by two people. Aside of a few other parts of the story, like the immortality and not really aging thing of mermaids.
And then there's god.

This isn't too unrealistic, although the moment Mitsuki appeared, the actual heroine was completely uninteresting. The route is a little awkward like that, as Mitsuki also drops a few bombs. She is the last mermaid. She apparently ate some really powerful mermaids and didn't have to eat humans for a while, but that's over.
Who the heck wouldn't want to see a bridge between these two games showing that part instead of whatever random dates you see with the heroine? The idol route was much more "story centric" then this route was as well... so it's awkward. Very awkward. Also kinda funny what this implies for Satsukoi.

Well, two routes left in Imouto;Gate. Best girls coming up.

Literally who are you and why do you think anyone cares to read your badly written plot summary that you call """review"""

WHY IS THIS A SUB CHARACTER?

I'm happy I didn't drop Chronobox in the middle now that I've gotten to read part of the ending. Only 1 H-scene unfilled in the scene gallery out of 41 (kind of a shitty way to gauge how far you are through the VN but whatever. The H scenes with 樺音 were painful

>>17835211
>last
Wait, so that means that nee-san and yuu are dead? That's weird if so since they both seemed to be doing just fine in Satsukoi aside from Ruri's route

I-It's not like I'm all that sad if so, but mostly just confused. Sorry to ask too many questions about the Satsukoi part, but it was one of the first untranslated VNs I read and I have nostalgic feelings for it. I guess I could just read imoten myself, but maybe I'll wait till you finish it and and then decide from what you say you thought about it (if you do). The premise looked kind of dumb but it's by the same author so could be good.

>>17835576
>Satsukoi

Well, read what I wrote one more time. And think of what that implies. That's all I can say. Who were the powerful mermaids she ate? If none are left, there's only really one conclusion what happened to Yuu, mom and so on.
It's not spelled out, but unless there's something else, this is the conclusion that I'd come to. Which is rather interesting, if you ask me. Too interesting to just randomly drop.

Cute designs but will ultimately be awful because Giga writers and also cowtits.

Aah aah, this moeblob's route is so boring compared to Ruri. This must be the sum of two beta dating, I end up skimming through it. I agree with the anon in the previous thread that Risa should've been the one with a standard route. Should do the H's then move over to Natsumi and Yuki. Marika isn't worth it, is she?

Anyway it's debatable how the way they handled the integration of the heroine routes in the common route, making the common route short. An advantage I could think of would be it encourages fucking all the girls in order in lesser amount of time, which I have trouble in the common way of long common routes. But man this feels more like a nukige than a nakige with all that proportionally correct, properly angled, sweet-colored multiple H scenes.

>>17835308
Is there a working download for this anywhere?

Even though I don't kinda like the MC, Eris makes up for it, lol.

>>17833183
Hmm, are you talkin about the initial battle or the boss battle? I only realised that there are at least 2 battles per heroine. I was talking about the initial one. The boss battle may be harder.
I couldn't pwn boss Toiru until I switched to bazooka.

>>17837223
Yeah it was such a bore how they went with the 'safe' choice in regards to Suzu vs Risa - although I get it, they probably didn't want another headstrong heroine like Yuki.

Marika's route isn't bad like Suzu, but aside from the painting bits it is mostly ero. Natsumi route is only worth it for the plot and a couple of H scenes, she's basically Suzu 2.0 though so YMMV.

I thought it was ironic how the main heroine Yuki gets only 75% of the H the other heroines get (9 scenes vs 12). I still think the Ruri route was the best because they were both acting like stupid horny teens instead of asexual blobs yearning for each other.

Anyone playing Ruri no Kasane? How was it?

It's actually rather simple. You just need to spam shotgun at point-blank and it will die pretty quickly.

What do you all use to see web sites blocked outside Japan?

I used to use Tor version 3.6.5 and it worked fine until a few weeks ago when it stopped working, I didn't care a first since it's not the first time it stops working and then works again a few days later but this time it didn't so I installed the lastest version but it doesn't work, when I check the ip location it says it's a Japanese IP but then when I go to a blocked website it doesn't work.

Anyone else has the same problem or a solution? It was a very convenient way to check those site without having to look up or set up a proxy and shit.

Don't respond to obvious shitposters.

>>17842765

Setsuna pretty much carries White Album 2, imo. Probably the most interesting character in the game. She is also probably one of my favorite heroines in eroge because she, in a lot of ways, reminds me of the bad parts about myself to a frightening degree.

>>17842118
by what standarts? by standarts of shitty moege?

>>17842809
Not probably, she flat out is the best character in the game. Wish Haruki and Kazusa were up to par as far as depth is concerned.

Done with Imoten. Interesting story, but lackluster presentation. It's fairly enjoyable, but not without flaws and weird things.

I already wrote a few thing about it, so I can keep it relatively short. It's similar to Satsukoi in style, but there are a few differences. For example the atmosphere here is generally much lighter, which leads to drama feeling usually very sudden and failed to touch me emotionally for the most part. But the comedy style is fairly similar (and I mostly enjoyed it), the main heroines are as well (Touka is probably even slightly above Yuu) and certain story ideas and resolutions feel very familiar which I'd generally consider good in this case. So if you disagreed heavily with the solutions and messages of Satsukoi, you can just stay away from this game.


That said, I felt a lot of the presentation of the drama lacked. Let's just say it like that: If there are dumb story developments, saying so in the story doesn't make it less dumb. Same for deus ex machina. I feel just that there was a bit of a fundamental flaw in the idea of some sub stories. While the idea of such isn't bad, it should've looked at the whole thing a LOT less emotional than it did. Basically, when I though "well, this is some shitty move from god. Sucks for them", the protagonist was already running like a madman with some "epic" music playing. Has something to do with the suddenness of many events as well, but not only. Most of the "lessons" you ultimately got were so freakin' "well duh" as well, that it failed to have impact in that regard as well.
This is quite unfortunate, given that the main story and its idea was fairly well done.

Now, as interesting as the main story could be considered... it's a little messy.
For one thing, the first three routes have the very unfortunate case of "they don't matter". Or rather, they only matter in the very slightest way possible. There needed to be SOMETHING before. The three heroines there all do not matter for later developments. It's a little harsh, especially as there is a girl that could've gotten a route and who is important.
And then there's the ending. I fail to see how this is an ending. The main problem wasn't solved. Perhaps that's the point. But what was the point of this story then? Perhaps spending a little less time on the stuff that's not important at all, and dealing a little more with the actually important cast would've helped here. After what the game implied over Satsukoi, I can see this being a quite deliberate choice to do it like this, just unfortunately presented.

Finally, I ABSOLUTELY hated how this game ALWAYS flashbacked whole fucking scenes when it was referring to older scenes. You get a scene. Five minutes later this scene is referred to, so you get it again with a funny flashback filter. Five minutes later the referring scene is flashbacked to, including the flashback it contains. NICE. I also totally NEEDED to see the endings of the other 3 routes like 4 fucking times in the final route. It's probably not gonna happen, but... I hope they patch this shit out. I don't remember having such an issue in Satsukoi.
Oh also, why imouto? Like seriously, why imouto? It's just randomly there.

Where the h*ck do I DL a copy of ものべの and/or まいてつ? At first I was just fapping to the characters, but now I just want to play for the story.

you could always learn how to use a debugger so you can make your own hook codes

>>17843183
its pretty technical, any advice? i found a bunch of guides that honestly just confused me

>>17843205
- registers are numbers that are read/written at any time
- values have to be moved between memory and registers to be used
- text is stored in memory but has to be spilled to registers at some point (either as individual characters, or as a pointer to the start of the string) to be used
- subroutine calls spill registers onto the stack, then remove them when they exit the function
- you want to find a point in execution that executes once per time the onscreen text changes, or once per character in each line of text, where a pointer to the string or a pointer to a character is stored in a register
- the hard part is writing the hook code. you're on your own here. hook codes are basically glorified breakpoints, so the only hard part is figuring out how to tell ITHVNR how to find the text when it's at that point in execution.

Is having no manual save a new trend or what? First Baldr went full autosave with Heart EXE and Bringer, now Otoboku 3 has only a quick save slot. I don't play many titles but this doesn't seem good if it continues.

Fuuck, do I really have to read Baldr Bullet to understand Anne(and Iota too?) on a deeper level?

>>17842384
using this and it works great. Very quick and easy to set up too.

What are some eroge with badass heroines being badasses? Ones that don't turn into boring moeblobs in their routes.

>>17844471
I haven't unlocked them but I don't think there's much related stuff here. Also Bullet has the worst plot in all Baldr games I've played (no idea about Head and Fist since I haven't played them), so I don't think you should play it unless you're desperate to play all titles.

Are there any VNs with a 'Battle Royale' kind of plot where you're thrown into a (not necessarily pre-arranged/planned) life-or-death, every-man-for-himself scenario and have to try to survive?

This event doesn't have to take up the entire running time of the VN, but it should constitute a fairly significant part of the story at least.

Bonus points if you can play the hero as a villain.

>>17844607
Yeah, so far every heroine came from the bad end version of their epoch so I wouldn't be surprised if their backstory only touch a bit on the original game story.
I guess I will be fine with just backstory that they tell me themselves.

By the way, how are you liking the game as of now?
Some people bash it but it seems alright to me. I haven't expected Sky or Heart level so I wasn't disappointed.
Well, maybe that's just because I got it for free.

>>17844637
Raging loop kinda.
Any killer queen.

>>17844637
Have you heard of this obscure novel called Fate/stay night

>>17844653
But Killer Queen is not
>every-man-for-himself scenario
There are different objectives for each player, which calls for cooperation.

>>17844661
Already read it.

For some reason that never came to mind though when I was thinking about this. Also, I ended up making that post assuming there would be no tag for this kind of story on VNDB, but after looking up the suggestions from >>17844653 it turns out there is (and it's literally "Battle Royale"), so I feel like a bit of an idiot now.

>>17844637
Fortissimo.

>>17844639
>By the way, how are you liking the game as of now?
Well I think it's fine. There's nothing that stands out so far for me but I'm not disappointed in the slightest. It's pretty much what I predicted ever since I saw the PV.

This guy disappears after beating the thief boss. Thank god for manual saving, now I can backtrack easily. (I was checking a guide for something else, and found out she had sex scenes, but she was gone when I checked, so that's why I had to reload an earlier save).

It's annoying for me to miss stuff like this. While I don't want to use a guide for the whole game, since it's way less fun for me that way, I don't want to miss stuff either. Probably it's best to play a game once guideless, and then using a guide to complete the CGs or something, but playing a game a second time (with almost nothing changing) is a bit boring, I think.

>>17844992
Yeah you'll miss half or more of the H-scenes if you don't use a guide.

>>17844592
all the heroines and the fem protagonist in tokyo necro are pretty badass

>>17844653
killer queen is meh, though. no idea about secret game or whatever the 3rd game is called

Fine, I'll be more specific:
How much will I like it if I prefer a good story to good gameplay? How does it stack up against, say, Heart?

>>17845612
That's not specific. Just go try it out and see for yourself if you're that curious. It's short.

Does anyone know how to get Kishin Hishou Demonbane (the second, untranslated one) running on Windows 10? I managed to install it from an ISO fine, but the launcher is the only thing that will open. Launching the game EXE, either from its folder or through the launcher, does nothing. I've already set the EXE to run in compatibility mode and installed all the DirectX packages I can think of (the one on the disc is 9.0c, which Windows 10 won't install on its own), but it makes no difference.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

>>17845733
Update to 1.10, then to 1.20 and then try this as the crack.

>>17842092
how is the baka-tsuki WA2 translation? any good?

>>17846153
That sounds like a question for a different thread. Probably the one about translations.

>>17845778
Thanks. I can't believe I didn't think to check for patches.

>>17845733
how does demonbane compare to muramasa?

>>17846621
????????????

>>17846621
it's a lot less boring

>>17846621
protag has a bigger dick

>>17846635
This. Especially when reading them in English.

>>17846637

How did it even fit into the book?

>>17846621
Haven't played Muramasa, but Demonbane is really fun once you get past the opening monster of the week shtick it has going. The second one does away with that, but it also adds arena fighter sections where you actually have to play out the mech battles.

How the fuck are you supposed to play Doukyuusei? I've just been running around visiting random buildings and shit without a focus, but I have no clue how the game actually works

>>17846774
That's pretty much it.
Most of the girls have "schedules" on where they'll show up with high frequency based on the time and day.
Each time you encounter and talk to a girl you'll raise your "affection" with her which lets you flag events etc.

Does anyone have japanese version of the Swan Song?

>>17846937
https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/15408

On a similar note though, it's surprisingly hard to find Kira Kira in Japanese. Unless I'm blind. Very possible.

>>17846973
Thanks bud

>>17820335
Why aren't black women more frequently represented in nukige/eroge?

>ワタシはニホンジンのペニスサイズで本当に満足することなんて出来ないの

>>17847122
because nips don't like them either

>>17847122
Nips have their own version of nig girls so they don't need any gaijins

Doukyuusei is surprisingly a pretty fun game. Don't know what it is about it that gets me, but it's got a nice charm I suppose. I lose track of time when I play it so at least it's doing something right.

Does anyone have a full Baldr Bringer save? I just wanna skip to the porn.

To anybody with an xbox aparrently there's a hack or glitch that lets you download any game now. So you can get clannad, stein's gate and so on. Might wanna hurry before they patch it.

>>17847975
enjoy your ban

>>17847975
>>>/v/395563990
Apparently it's the Japanese versions of the game though.

Why doesn't DMM have a rape tag? Do they actually pretend there's no rape games on their site? It makes it fucking impossible to find games I want to play on sale.

>>17847695
Look on sageoz or similar site?
I almost have all the heroines.
I think I can clear them this evening.

No mana to fap though. Damn you Giga. And I'm just on 5th heroine.
What the fuck do I do with my dick?

>>17848893
I've checked Sagaoz, and for some reason they don't have a save for it, nor do they have a save for Baldr Heart. I don't know any similar sites.

>>17849044
Okay, I think I'll be done in an hour or a couple and upload it.
10*2=20 h-scenes, though. Are you ready? They are shorter than average in eroge though.

Anyone here have らぶKiss！アンカー～あなたのキスでつかまえて～ by any chance? No one's seeding it and all the DDL links are dead. Thanks

>>17849044
Though I don't know how to get Eris's H-scene as of now. Well, it's not like she attracts anyway. She is too motherly of a character.

So when will Rewrite: Cradles Tale be uploaded?

>>17849274
Why is Kagami so cute

>>17849282
Mega link?

What's the bottom left one?

Woah, Martha looks strange without her shit-eating grin.

>>17849106
Hmm, looks like I'll have to wait a while for you to unlock that one. Looking forward to it.

>>17849744
It's taking longer than I expected. There is more text to read that I don't want to just skip.
I should be done tomorrow. I'll upload then. If there is an Eris H-scene, I'll update later.

So when will Dies irae be uploaded?

>>17849579

Can you just do Eris and the true route in Baldr Bringer?

>>17849850
There are no routes afaik. Girls other than Eris are subheroines it seems and you do their "routes" on the way to your main goal.

>>17849871
>and you do their "routes" on the way to your main goal
So it's linear with all the heroines being forced? Or can you just skip over them?

>>17849879
Nah, you can skip them I guess. I just don't want to.

Opinions on Evolimit?

Opinions on Tsuma no Niku Ana ni Homestay Suru Macho Ryuugakusei ~Shucchouchuu no Sono Ura de, Tsuma wa Kurobikari Bou kara Afureru Hodo no Hakudaku o Sosogare, Yorokobi ni Michita Acme-gao o Sarashiteita~?

>>17850098

>>17850098
Good if you skip through the husband's PoV and just play Akie's PoV

Guess I'll continue where I stopped and continue my redhead screenshot collection.

Feels chuuni, man.

So was 手垢塗れの堕天使 cracked?
I was looking forward to this since I played the demo. The prequel was cracked in one day though.

>>17838447
>Making Lovers
I'm not joking when I'm saying this will probably end up being my favorite game of the year unless they really manage to fuck it up. Mostly been a backlog year for me in regard to both plotge and moege.

What are the popular plotge gems of this year anyways? Already played through Chronobox and I'm still waiting out on people posting more full reviews of Baldr Bringer before diving in.

>fixing song tags for Noratoto 2
>check VA for Shachi
>Kamishiro Misaki
>check her profil-

>it's motherfucking Asakawa Yuu

Shachi totally didn't remind me of Rider at all, wtf.

>>17851295
I heard her route is really boring. Well she seems more boring than all the other characters already, so it would make sense.

In a mood to play a favorite game.

Would it make sense to only play __ route in いろとりどりのセカイ?

Lots of people on egs saying it's the only good route.

Would it make sense to only play 真紅 route in いろとりどりのセカイ?

>>17851353
She was best girl, despite her route, at least she was the most popular.

Baldr Bringer writer.

>>17852408

How the fuck is that even possible. But it's not like there's a way to make me believe that anyway, given that all those polls can be easily easily rigged anyway.
Unlike almost all of the rest of the cast, Sachi is very one-dimensional with her character. Her voice acting as such is also just... there. All the heavy mood swings and crazy stuff that really help the other girls shine are missing. Lucia is the other one who suffers from this, being very one dimensional but she wasn't really a heroine and as such it's okay. Then again, maybe that's why? It's beyond my understanding, but I guess if you don't like the general style of the VN, you'd like Sachi? Maybe?

>>17852418
So they made him a scapegoat or what?
He also did write Zero though, which was good.

How do I H this girl? This one guide I found on the Alicesoft wikia says she's supposed to be attacked in the shop after there's a newspaper article about the remaining thieves, but I read that one, and nothing happened in the shop. The article text was white, so I'm not sure what I could've fucked up. Is it just a random event after reading the newspaper?

>>17852549
switched to a Japanese guide which has more instructions in it; hopefully I'll succeed this time

OBJECTIFYING WOMEN

>>17849744
Hey, I got all girls except Eris. Do you need this save? I don't know when I will finish the game or find her h-scene though.

>>17853908
You can give it to me now if you want.

Does anyone know where I can find あしたの雪之丞 and it's sequel? All the torrents I've found are dead, and i can't find these games anywhere.

>>17854909
https://mega.nz/#!VPpnSJ7L!0U8O8MfQuRMbu4dzY5OrpHESn3VUVP1CA5vDx3zRArA
Here.
H-scenes are the last 2 events in each girl's tab.
I think I'll get done with true route in 2 days max.

>>17855294
Thanks a lot!

>>17850095
This shit is too lewd.

Looks like Baldr Bringer has been dropping framerate like crazy since the newest patch. Is anyone else getting this or just me?

Anyone have the latest version of this?
