DROPPED

>>19137793
This version has a weird mix of original art with new coloring.

>>19137813
all of their late 90s/ early 00s remakes look like ass frankly... except for Words Worth (disregarding the 3D graphics ofc)

>>19138030
BE-YOND looks okay. PC98 version is still better though.

>>19138030
some of the CGs look off but i liked how de-ja looked, i haven't really played the pc98 version so i don't really have much of a basis for comparison though

Why is the action in Riddle Joker so bad? Did Amamiya Ritsu somehow forget how to write chuuni?

>>19135495
Except she doesn't have a route which automatically makes her the worst.
>>19135507
Please.

Anyone had this problem?

Mojika had another CG gallery update. Gotta say that the art isn't very erotic to me unfortunately

>>19137793

>>19138041
completely forgot about that one, the beyond remake is of course the best looking game of that era, and the pc-98 version was also the best looking game on its platform

>>19138461
the de ja remakes look pretty bizarre... and not quite in a good way. though they only came out some time later, in 2005

>>19137714
Nakamura Takeshi's art is now better.

>>19140812
wtf.

>>19140830
What do you mean?

>>19140812
I think it's just the coloring.

Why we have no ritual posters?

>>19139337
thats not really the point of the game, i think

>>19140870
The left girl's face is kinda not normal.
>>19141157
Because we're not /vn/.
Do you want half of the posts to be dead old memes?

Please tell me, kind anons, when does pic related appear? I'm in Chapter 2-3 and she's nowhere in sight.

>>19141334
2-5. You're only like an hour or two in why are you in such a rush to meet worst girl?

>>19141413
I've met everyone aside from her and I really want to see the reason why she's the worst girl.

>>19141195
Of course the point of ero scenes is to turn you on, else they wouldn't be there. The concept of them is hot, it's just that the art doesn't work for me.

>>19141234
>Because we're not /vn/.
We may as well be at this point.

>>19141483
Not really

>>19141413
She's the only girl that remains consistent throughout, just a nice, kinda funny girl, no drops like every other girl in the game.

>>19141483
Okay, here is your ritual posting.
先！

Im wanting to start reading untranslated as I start learning moon. Do I start with something easy? Or with something that I really want to read and will keep my interest? I was thinking about doing Iwaihime, Pianissimo, or Caucasus.

>>19141621
djt

>>19141621
The latter. All the games you listed are considered shit though, so you are probably going to lose interest reading them slowly.

>>19141621
Read something that will keep your interested. That's the only way.

>>19141413
That's some terrible taste you have there.

I bet it will be garbage yukiwank and have nothing of substance.

Moege awards are finally out with the winner being Nora Princess and Crying Cat, 2nd place is Kiniro Loveriche, followed by Hikari no Umi no Apeira and Making Lovers in 4th

http://moe-gameaward.com/prize/2017/index.html

Best eros title Pink (nukige with light theme)
Haruru Minamo ni and Onii-chan Kiss making it about the 5th year in a row an incest title made the list for Pink

Best eros title black (nukige with dark themes like rape, slavery, NTR) is the first year in many a Bishop title didn't win goes to Chrono Box and Boku wa Kou Shite Otacir no Hime ni Narimashita

a title I've never heard of, seems to be a yaoi trap game.

>>19143927
What a joke.

>>19143948
Do you have a problem with the choices? Seems pretty unsurprising to me.

>>19143927
those 4 titles are also 2ch/bbspink/twitter best 4 titles so not surprising at all

>>19143927
>white thighs
Nice.

>>19143585
If there's one thing I don't need more of, then it's Kawashima Rino.

do you guys ever PM the authors?

>>19143927
As a side note the following games didn't participate:

ニュートンと林檎の樹
蒼の彼方のフォーリズムEXTRA1
美少女万華鏡-罪と罰の少女-
ゴールデンアワー

SUITE LIFE

Disappointing year nonetheless.

>>19145751
>SUITE LIFE
Didn't know they made a Zack & Cody VN

>>19145674
I tweet them sometimes

What are some hidden gems, that because of their extremely small amount of votes on vndb, ended up with a low belysian rating causing people to overlook them in search?

>>19147202
If I told you, they wouldn't be hidden anymore now would they?

>>19147202
Use EGS. Even some relatively big games barely have any votes on vndb due to being untranslated.

>>19147208
I dont know why that didnt come to mind, shoulve been obvious.

>>19143585
Subahibi never really struck me as a game that was really hurt a lot by not being fully voiced so I can't say I'm hyped for this very much. If there's one thing I'd kill for a fully voiced version of it would be Oretsuba, but that seems very unlikely to ever happen.

>>19147232
At least oretsuba has full voice acting for everyone but the MCs, subahibi has more unvoiced characters than not, like very male bar Takuji.

>>19147245
Im just eager to hear how Master with sound like. Could give less of a fuck for anyome else.

>>19147208
pretty much everything with reliable EGS numbers is on peoples radar already

>>19147391
Not people asking these questions and using vndb.

>>19145674
If you post on twitter about an eroge, chances are someone who worked on that (usually the writer or director) will comment or retweet.

Magic a Ride
Natsu no Owari no Nirvana
Nega0

Damn. Finished Karen's route and dunno if I can make myself choose someone else for next.
Just imagining that she'll be alone somewhere on the street or give up her dreams... T_T

>>19149188
Karen is the kind of girl you must do last, she has the best route and simply the best chemistry with the MC.

>>19149201
Should've asked before I did her. T_T

>>19149188
While the other girls are very good, it's difficult to top Karen with her mix of personality and tragic backstory.

>>19148681
>Natsu no Owari no Nirvana
I still hate the bgm in that.

>>19149188
i mean, there is still the fandisk so like you can just do her last in that.

So we can expect Baldr Bringer Extend Code to be uploaded never?

>>19149188
I did the same thing as you anon, and did Karen first. All the other routes can't compare to her but I did like Saki and Reina's routes for the scenes where Ako get BTFO. I loved seeing that smug imouto get wrecked.

>>19150404

>>19150432

>>19150446
and here

>>19150461
Body soap? Shampoo?

I'm not sure if you guys noticed this feature in Making Lovers, but if you close the text box and click on the character sprites in certain areas of their body they respond vocally to it.

>>19150489
legit? going to reinstall just to try this.

>>19150731
Yea. I didn't test it all too much but I believe the heroine's responses also changes depending on how far you are in their route.

>>19150787
just like my corruption nukiges huh

>>19147232
I want it so I can play Subahibi in glorious HD without having to resort to an English translation.

Holy shit it's true. Wish I knew this while going through the game.
Couldn't be bothered to find clickable hands for the first two affection states though.

>>19151058
noice

>>19150489
Smee have that feature in their previous games. Recent ones, anyway.

Anyone here tried the Making Rubbers fandisc? I heard the heroines get a new hairstyle available, similar to smee's earlier titles like fureraba.

The vndb entry on the fd makes it look rather eccentric, which all the after story scenarios having wacky hijinks (mass produced Hamjiro, Black Reina, etc)

I'm also curious if there were any chara polls and how the japs rated the girls.

>>19151381
Only two choices available for each heroine. They might add more in the Vol. 2 but I doubt it.

>>19151432
10/10 font

>>19151439
That's the default system font. Great isn't it.

>>19151432
Damn I had hoped it would've been a more drastic change than that. Looks too similar to the original one imo.

>>19151432
-ahoge
+a couple of flower pins or whatever they are and an extra 4 inches of hair length

meh

>>19150244
I guess. It seems noone bought it this time, heh.
Whatever, I don't care about baldr anymore. It's not like Giga will bring us something awesome again.
Let's all enjoy moege instead!

Btw, am I the only one kinda off-put by the constant "アンタ"? It really sounds weirds after all the other eroge where heroines call MC by the name. I understand it's because of the custom name thing so that every second heroine's VA wouldn't have blank spaces for the name. It feels realy unnatural. At least change it to something more romantic, dammit! Like Darling, or あなた.
Maybe it's just me as I don't usually play moege and the last time I saw this feature was in ImoPara and there it was natural for sisters to call MC onii-san and such.

>>19151058
There are special lines for mouth and eyes as well.

Heh, so they have cross-route characters as well.

the new atelier sakura VN is meh, I'm not even going to finish it. I rather like the artist but the VA and writing is a notch below their usual, and they were already only putting out cheap trash to begin with

By chance, anyone has Kataoka Tomo's C93 game?

http://stage-nana.sakura.ne.jp/w_polaris.htm

>>19152165
Also, if anyone has his 1999 White Album doujin, it would be pretty cool.

>>19151710
Just be glad they don't keep using stupid shit like 貴方様. Also, I've usually opted to just use default names regardless because some games like Smee's titles or HoshiOri have voiced default names for the protagonist (most games don't even mention this at the start), unless the game in question specifically uses something like Lovely x Cation's system and lets you pick from a list of voiced names at the start.

Really like the art and simple plots of Heart's games, despite how low-effort they are.
Maybe I'm just retarded.

Yeah, I use that as well. But lines with that are rare.
>>19152763
Wow, autism.

>>19152769
Yeah. The characters are scaled down to fit all 4 of them on the screen.

>>19152763
Jesus, why are self-insert fags so pathetic?

>>19152763

>>19152970
I mean, are you really asking that in a genre that's mostly about wish fulfillment? It's just a very subjective review

>>19153404
I never really was into self-inserting. Even in Cation games I see the protagonist as a separate entity.

Being so autistic about self-inserting just looks weird to me.

Take Mashiro if you like but give this girl a route dammit!

>>19153725
Just take Mashiro, I muted her and even then I couldn't do her route.

>>19153742
Woah, hidoi. She's not that bad. Just a typical boring eroge heroine.

Heh, Kazami is nice too.

>>19153804
>Just a typical boring eroge heroine.
In a comedy-heavy game, Saki is kinda boring too but she's better than her.

>>19152763
Yep. This one is going on my cringe compilation.

>>19153830
>Saki
Yeah, I wonder if I can endure her route as well. Neither Nee-san or ojou-sama are my types. At least Mashiro is somewhat strange, geeky.

>>19154062
Azami is good at least, not as good as Karen but she's solid.

>>19154071
Azami?
誰?

>>19154210
Reina, I don't know why I called her Azami.

Fuck, Mashiro's blindfold scene in hotel is really hot.

has anyone read お兄ちゃん、朝までずっとギュッてして ?

if so, how difficult is it, for someone still at a very basic reading level?

>>19155664
Easier than Albatross but harder than Hanahira.

はいはい、和馬です。
Why does it remind me of konosuba?

>>19156053
pa ja ma

>>19155664
I'd put that are a low-intermediate or high-basic level.

>>19153725
She's also in Reina's route, but she's a lot more annoying there imo.

What do you guys use to check if something has a patch?

>>19156288
The internet.

>>19156288
The website?

>>19139066

>>19157129
haruharu did in the trial

Am I just slow, or is Baldr Sky just really long?

>>19152725
Man those girls on the left look so cluttered, it's like an overload of shit all over their hair and outfits. Reminds me of the "30 pieces of flair" from Office Space.

>>19157327
Probably both. The pacing in Baldr Sky is also hot buttered shit on toast. Things seem to take even longer when you're forced back to the dorm for a mandatory nap and especially in Dive1, a recitation of how clueless you are, in between accidentally bumbling into the next event.

I had some fun with this at first, but the (based on vndb) new author ended up grabbing into the "common eroge tropes and events" chest a little too much. Now that in itself may've still lead to something alright, but he just used the same ones again, and again, and again. It actually gets pretty ridiculous. In the middle of my first route, I was out.
The girl's not too few pov scenes were a nice touch though. Some of the voice-acting is pretty good in this game as well, but that's not really helping if the text is annoying of course.

I suppose you have to fill the writing quota, but this way isn't exactly great. In the end it was like I expected. Took longer to find out than I thought though. It's a bit of a shame, because this definitely had potential. Maybe next time.

>>19157967
EGS has several reviews that mention the text itself being weirdly written.

Did you notice something sticking out?

Bros why did 太陽の子 have to die? It gives you such strong 名作の予感. Surely Loose would deliver.

>作品全体の構成を決めているのは、企画担当のるーすぼーいさん。勿論、丸戸さん達とも話し合いを重ねている。

>>19157327
It took me about 1.5 month to finish it. I was immersed into gameplay tho.

>>19157610
The disjointed pacing doesn't annoy me too much, though I take it from your response things don't change much from after Rain's route (which I'm just almost done with) in Dive1?

>>19158082
I think it's going to take me even longer than that to finish, considering I can only spend 3-4 hours a day max playing and I still can't read that smoothly.

I suppose I'll just keep on grinding it out, I hope it ends up as good as purported.

>>19157991
You'd have three scenarios poorly mashed together by authors who just don't have anything in common.
Like, you'd go thriller>comedy with some drama>romance drama.

>>19158131
>3-4 hours a day max playing
Well, I played like 5-6 hours when I read it I think. If you want to read quicker, you can play on very easy I guess, but it's not fun IMO.
>don't change much from after Rain's route
Woah, of course they change. Kou becomes more competent and gets involved in the story more.
It's only a bit bad in the first 2 routes because you always know things Kou will realise half a route after. But after that it's all uphill.
Don't listen to haters.

>>19158139
Perfect.

>>19157982
Weird is very broad. If it's something like:
-It's evening, past dinner. They need to do homework. "Let's do this fast so we can go to the river or something." - "Yay, sounds great!" - "Could get some barbecue, while we are at it.."

Then yeah. Of course they never go to the river that day because that wouldn't make sense. They just ate, it's late and so on. Nor do they go the next day, or ever. There are quite a few parts where you just think "huh?". I didn't always think about it though, because it tends to not matter on the long run.

Can anyone please help me? What is the Japanese text saying?

>>19158322
Ask in DJT.

>>19158322
ひたすらにすすむしかありません

>>19158322
"the pleasure of being cummed inside"
This is a pretty literal translation so take it with a grain of salt.

>>19158437
Thanks. I have no idea what the next command should be so I'm stuck now :(

>>19158444
Why are you playing a game in Japanese without knowing the language? Also nice trips

>>19158470
Because it's supposedly translated, but since it's from 84 some parts were apparently left in Japanese (: It's fun. https://vndb.org/v9524

>>19158322
it says ヒタスラ　ススムシカ　アリマセン。

What is a good starter VN for someone who's never read one in Japanese before? So, vocab etc on the simpler side. Bonus for otome but not necessary.

>>19158806
はなひらっ！

>>19156447
>it has language selection so you can read in moon
Nice to know, thanks.

>>19158806
Discuss this in DJT, not here.

Was Cradles Tale shared yet?

>>19159167
It's 2018. Nobody cares about the piece of trash that was Rewrite anymore.

>>19159319
It's a masterpiece and better than all your favorite VNs.

>>19158131
If you think it changes in Dive2, then know that after the fourth route (first in Dive2), it makes you replay every single flashback from all previous routes, start to finish, in chronological order, along with some new things specifically about Sora sprinkled in. It's of comparable length to any given route.

Also, Nanoha's route is 50% copy/pasted to Rain's, and Aki's route is 50% copy/pasted from Chinatsu's... which is about 25% copy/pasted from Rain's. This is how Baldrhead almost always structures their shit. If you're expecting things to pick up quickly once you're out of Rain's route, or for Kou to suddenly become competent, you're gonna have a bad time.

>>19159319
Then throw Cradles Tale this way.

>>19159167

>>19159167
Whoever ripped the last bluray disc at U2 tracker decided not no include the game in the torrent (maybe it was against the rules).

when u wanna beat the meat and boot up a nukige but it takes too long to get to the first ero scene

>>19158476
>1984
The hell?

>>19159907
Yea and then you skip text, get to the h-scene, Jerk off to the cg, reload the save and the read the whole thing properly and pray you make it before you jerk off again.

>>19159933
Or the skip function is too slow and you wind up just fapping to the tachie because you've been edging for too long.

>>19159351
Nothing that has Ryuukishi working on it could ever be a masterpiece.

>>19159907
>reading nukige
That's your mistake. I just get a full save and use Scene replay.
Most of the time I just wank off to sadpanda galleries.

Nope, time to turn this route around and enjoy same-boardhouse-loveydovey-time with Akari!

Dude, who has a 4:3 monitor these days?

>>19162194
1280x1024 is 5:4 and the best resolution.

>>19159874
i have a feeling that the game was handled by multiple writers

>>19162202
16:10 is the perfect ratio as its practically the golden ratio, fuck off with that

>>19162483
Meme aspect ratio.

I wish...

>>19162483
So my second monitor being 1440x900 is perfect then? Sweet.

>>19162202
Clearly not the best since it makes you play the game with huge black bars.

>>19162716
You'd have black bars on a 16:10 display too, since anything new is going to be 16:9 and anything old is going to be 4:3 or similarly square.

>>19162780
The key is to have several monitors, all with different screen aspect ratios, that you can pull out and use depending on the vn youre reading.

I do this in a way with old vns, I pull out an old 4:3 crt monitor to read them on.

How about just play them at the default resolution and not full screen?

What's the best guide for 100%'ing the Windows version (PC98 port) of YU-NO? The English one on TLWiki?

There are a couple JP ones on the wiki, but one states that it's for the Saturn version which starts out with more crystals, and the other doesn't state what platform it's for.

Are Sprite/Fairys games good? KoiChoco, Aokana, ImaImo?

>>19164394
Masterpieces, especially AoKana which is probably the greatest work of art every written

>>19164394
Not really, but readable if you are really into moege.

Are there VR moege? Like you actually walk around with girls, they lean in to kiss you and stuff, not just the pure sex of Illusion games (or at least that's how those games look to me, correct me if I'm wrong)

>>19163736
The walkthrough on tlwiki will get you 100%, not sure of any moon ones, but Im pretty sure the ones for the sega saturn would work just as well. Only difference between the versions is the h-scenes.

>>19164394
Aokana is good but I found it a bit too long.

>>19164399
Why do you hate AoKana so much?

>>19164976
Now that you mention it my post could be misinterpreted as irony, but I'm serious, I genuinely like it that much.

Speaking of AoKana, did anyone else get Misaki's novel that just came out? Like the original route, it's extremely good, it was actually amazing seeing everything from Misaki's perspective and understanding the subtle nuances of her feelings and emotions and how extremely well-written the development of her character throughout the route truly is. I strongly recommend it to all AoKana fans, I know it doesn't have the god-tier art/music/voice acting of the game but Watanabe's writing is just so stunning it's still definitely worthwhile.

>>19165015
Can't tell if double trolling

>>19165015
>I'm serious, I genuinely like it that much.
That's even weirder.

>>19164394
Aokana was okay overall but the protagonist was a insufferable faggot because of his "tragic" past.

>>19165067
Still more tolerable than the main heroine.

How does 月に寄りそう乙女の作法２ compare to the first game?Enjoyed the first and wondering if the sequel is worth picking up.

>>19164394
I liked KoiChoco, but probably for the wrong reason. Chisato getting NTR'd was the best feeling.

>>19165069
ダメダメです

>>19165381
You should read Otoriron first. All the games are great and they get better and better. Tsuriotsu 2 is a lot more balanced compared to the first game, all the routes are solid.

the new Venus Blood is called Lagoon and it will be back to the strategy gameplay. The site also shows corrupted form for one of the heroines. I have no idea why Brave was so lazy, considering it was the anniversary project.

>>19169383
>I have no idea why Brave was so lazy, considering it was the anniversary project.

They though they could get away with that, turns out they can't so now they're back to the good old?

>>19169442
The gameplay and assets copy-pasted from game to game for the most part, so they actually put effort into making a new simplified UI and gameplay. Where they were really lazy is in the routes, but maybe Ragnarok was too massive, since it had two different sets of events and h scenes depending on whether you're going for Chaos or Law. The game feels too nice on both. Actually I only have a problem with that - you can never really go full villain and it doesn't feel like a proper chaos route since the protagonist dooms the world not for himself, but because he loves the heroines and their children

>>19163736
I really, REALLY, would not recommend using a guide for yu-no. The game isn't really that hard, and part of yu-no's charm is getting lost within the structure of the game as you try to find the way out of the loop. I just feel like the reward of the epilogue wouldn't be as cathartic and epic if you used a guide beforehand.

Last game I played was "Little Bitch in Hog garden" ...man that was such a loli jailbait bros.

>>19169897
Honestly this. If you're absolutely stuck, then the most you should do is look at the flowchart. Save the wallthrough for when youve already finished the vn but have a few parts you missed keeping you from 100%.

>>19170135
>>19169897
Doesn't the game have finite save slots or something, and if you waste them you have to play the game from the beginning? Doesn't seem very friendly to "play without walkthrough"

>>19169897
>>19170135
Honestly I mostly just wanted to read the story / see how it unfolds before the anime aired and wasn't really looking to do the amount of backtracking required to do it without a guide, esp if I fuck up the saves.

If it's essential to enjoying the story to the point that it's worth dealing with fucking up how I use my saves, having to do a bunch of backtracking and re-treading to figure out where I'm going, and taking significantly longer to finish the game, then I'll re-consider. However, without systems to make the backtracking a little less annoying I kind of just want to experience the story, as that sort of thing sounds more tedious and frustrating than fun to me with how long I've heard the game is and the lack of features to make quickly backtracking/re-treading easier.

>>19169224
only route i didnt do in that, guess i have a good reason to go do it today.

>>19170275
>>19170223
It's easy to get a hang of the jewels/saves. If you do fuck up however, backtracking is easy and doesn't take that long. Once you've already gone through an area, you already know what to click and where to go so its just a matter of holding ctrl.

Worst case scenario, you have a jewel placed after where you want to go back to, and another jewel placed earlier than you would have liked. It's not so much as whether you fuck up or not, but how efficient you can be. Keep in mind that there's an ingame flowchart so you can easily keep track of what choices lead you where within the game.

I wouldn't say playing with the walkthrough would ruin the experience, but it will be less fulfilling and enjoyable. The walkthrough will be annoying because you're constantly looking at it for every single click. If you want to compromise, use the flowchart that lists only essential information and lets you work with it. https://u.cubeupload.com/MwvQw3.jpg

The time-travel aspect of YU-NO is extremely unique as far as games and vns go. It's not half-assed and dumbed down like Steins;Gate and is quite enjoyable. It's not something you want to squander so easily.

Anyone has Chrono Belt ~Ayakashibito & Bullet Butlers Crossover Disc~ and is willing to throw it to Mega?

That fucking love hotel scene. Kohaku's climaxing voice was something else.

Yeah, i don't know how much it will take, but i'm currently uploading it.

Can someone explain Reina's route?
Didn't MC say that he doesn't want to renew his rent? Why is he still using the apartment half a month after he started living in dormitory?
The Reina's route was good. Too bad Reina was too annoying quite a bit and MC went kinda out of character putting up with her antics. I don't think I'd given her a chance if I was in his place.

Guess I'll go with Saki next and leave the imouto for last.

She was cute and well meaning, reason enough.

I heard SILENTWORLD is connected to Himawari and Island, but I can't find a new copy anywhere or an upload of a DRM-free ebook version. Anyone have it and willing to share or know what the best place to get a good quality DRM-free ebook version is?

>>19171695
It's on amazon, both new physicals and the ebook.

>>19171712
Weird, I could've sworn it didn't have reasonably priced new copies last time I looked. Wonder if they did a re-print recently. Kinokuniya couldn't get their hands on a new copy from anywhere when I tried to order from them either.

>>19171654
>well meaning
Didn't she just 振り回す him? She even admitted it in the end of the route and said she didn't care at the time if he would be put off or not. I mean, okay, she was down and stuff but she didn't care about him at all.
>cute
more like openbly manipulative and possesive. Well, MC seemed to like it so I won't say much except that he said a couple of times that he prefers a cool "salad serving" girl and can't be bothered to like shitty girls like her. I mean she behaved the same as other girls in the dormitory, if not worse. The only reason I see MC gave up to her is because she pushed him hard?
I mean, come on. Can you remain interested in a girl you just met when she immediately declares she is your girlfriend and starts rummaging through your phone, restricting your freedom? Like here >>19161646


The rest of the route was okay but this...just boggles my mind.

>>19169196
Axanael and totono have more of the same kind of Vio humor

or do you mean thematically similar, like groundhog day type time loop stories?

>>19172094
Yeah, something thematically similar.

>MC is in the hamster costume
>producer calls him sergeant via radio
Kek, is this full metal panic Fumoffu?

Heh, Saki's route might not be that bad after all. Maybe I underestimated her.

Too much oppai, not enough DFC

>>19170541
If it hurts the narrative that much, I think I might just put this on hold and play it down the line when something like that sounds more fun, because right now I'd rather just experience the narrative/story and keep the backtracking and such to a minimum. Mostly just wanted to read it now because it'll be impossible to avoid spoilers when the anime airs.

>>19177282
Just read it however you want, most people end up loving it whether they use a walkthrough or not. The game got famous for its scenario first and foremost.

I have just ended Apeiria and I felt the necessity to post this bad meme I have created.

And on a serious note I didn't expect this vn to be that good when I first started it cuz the drawings were good, though the heroines excepting Miyu were lackluster.Thinker best girl
Now I need to play the FD.

>>19177506
What's so good about it?

>>19177506
would have sounded better if you wrote "learning quantum phsyics through x", etc.

Finished Saki. I seriously underestimated her, expecting some boring ojousama constant onee-san mode character. Got some nice comfy and fun route. Can't decide which one I like better so far - Karen or her.
Looking forward to lewding imouto.

Glad I picked up this moege. Almost want to translate it so that more people could read it.

currently playing through 紫影のソナーニル at chapter 3. now i'm not from NY but i think they got the geography wrong with the order of the locations if Elysia/Lily is traveling towards Manhattan [1]
Ch.1 is in Verrazano Bridge (connecting Staten Island [5] and Brooklyn [2])
Ch.2 suddenly jumps to The Bronx [4] (skipping Queens) as it's the only remaining tunnel going to Manhattan
Ch.3 then goes back to Queensbridge in Queens [3] instead of just going straight to Manhattan as intended

i believe the remaining chapters are all going to be in Manhattan based on the in-game Dictionary.

did the 1902 tragedy mess up the geography too? or Sakurai is just writing whatever?

The comedy and the mystery are its stronger points, in the case of the mystery I couldn't deduce more than some few things and the ending got me by surprise (I think I wouldn't exaggerate if I say it was one of the most unexpected ones I've seen), the story is quite good and there's really a "science" behind it so is cool.
Though it's not for everyone as I have read the some people can't stand the comedic parts in it but I found them quite funny (though there are some cringy moments).

i only got to where the MC first gets his armor, and that was where it got a little bit too much for me
is it actually worth picking back up?

Did anyone finish Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi? Fuck, I need to rant about the ending. There is two endings: Miyuki and Aoi ending. You can only choose one.

In Miyuki ending, everything is reset and Miyuki forgets about you, the player. The MC (who is not same as "the player") meets Miyuki at the top floor and Miyuki almost confesses her love for MC except MC chickens out. Then, MC and Miyuki get a photo of Aoi and two of them together on their cell phones, which pushes MC to confess to Miyuki.

At first, I was OK with this ending since MC is only intermediary between me, "the player", and Miyuki. Then, I saw the "Aoi Ending" online. There, I, "the player", am ejected from Totono world along with Aoi. Aoi, wanting happy ending for Miyuki and MC, sends a photo of MC, Miyuki and Aoi together. This implies that the photo that MC and Miyuki got was sent by the player and Aoi. If that is the case, then this means that the choice you are forced to make at end of the game doesn't matter at all. It just shows you different perspective of the same ending. Who ever you chose, MC ends up with Miyuki and the Player ends up with Aoi.

I know I am being autistic for caring about this too much, but this game pushes you to care about heroines that way by guilttripping you. Then, the game just says that your choice that you seriously considered didn't matter and you are forced with Aoi ending either way.

>>19180302

According to studio beast's official twitter, Suicide Fence chapters two and three will be sold at c94 and on the webpage, there's only two more spaces for the web edition so does this mean it's actually finished? Either way they're making good progress so it can't be too far away.

whats the big deal

Playing Venus Blood -Frontier- and I invaded the winter country as my first choice with the hope of getting this girl. I started losing immediately. My strongest troops can barely keep up and can only scrape a victory half the time, the front has collapsed and half my territory is gone. At this point it's pretty much "Hitler in his bunker" times. I panic Googled and it seems like the winter country isn't recommended as a first country, so I'm probably going to have to reload and go for somewhere else. A bit annoying.

Anyway, that's the story of how I lost a war by trying to invade Russia to fuck my sister. Don't make strategic decisions with your dicks Anons.

Well, here goes my first moege that I really liked.
Ako's route ending was kinda disappointing tho.
Saki and Karen were top-notch from the beginning till the end.
Karen was a manipulative bitch so I didn't like her much. Her route was decent tho.
Mashiro was a bit boring. Maybe just not my type.
So I would rate it:
Karen=Saki>Ako>>>Mashiro>Reina.

Thanks to whoever recommended me this. Guess I'll try other moeges some other time.

Well that's like the prologue, after they get to defeat the mother dragon the vn gets more serious and the mystery parts start to kick in and the vn changes its focus to them, though there's comedy across the whole vn.

I suggest to give it a try until you get to the "serious" part (or do the best girl Miyu route) and if even then you can't stand the comedic parts drop it, as I can understand it isn't for everyone.

Is there a recommended route order for Parfait? I like to save the best for last when I can. And on that note there seems to be a lot of normal ends. Are they worth the time or just filler?

Whatever you do, play Rikako last. The rest don't really matter.

Did you give up on Nega0 then?

Newfruit here, what's this Zen guy's deal? Is he just playing up a sense of self awareness or does he genuinely force himself to consume media from a medium he hates?

He and the blue guy are actually two distinct personalities of the same individual.

>>19191836
I can believe that

>>19191825
He likes some eroge. There was a list of his likes somewhere.

>>19190750
Look. Normal endings are normal. True endings are drama. Choose what you want. Parfait is all about drama apparently.

Why don't we use the term dramage, btw?
>>19187028
>for your average moege
Yeah, I get it. I judge the VN by its MC anyway so I don't think I'll be able to read VNs with complete self-insert.

>>19191825
it comes from a place of self-loathing

>>19190750
Start with Asuka & Kasuri since they're the weakest routes and finish with Ema -> Rikako.

>>19190750
do Rikako route last. and that also means you might want to do Ema route as second to the last because they have overlapping route choices for their true ends except for the last choices.
all normal ends are almost redundant to their true end counterparts except for Rikako normal end which needs to be seen to turn her bad end into the true end.

>>19190750
Did you play Ripple and Chocolate beforehands?

>>19192292
I'd argue that starting with the weakest routes is not the best way to start any game.
start with the cover girls Yui or Rea first to have a better start. (Yui has the better story but Rea is the better girl)
either way, ending with Rikako is sure to have the VN finish strong.

>>19192308
Different guy but would you say it's worth playing Ripple as well? I was only planning on playing Chocolat and Parfait.

>>19192325
They're still written by Maruto and are really fun characters to read about. It's not like you are starting in a route from a shitty subwriter.

>>19192292
>Asuka
>weakest route
Lel.
I would argue that the lack of unnecessary drama makes it better than the other I read, but I guess people don't read Maruto for lovey-dovey.

Top 5 moege?

>>19192292
Rea is by some margin the weakest route in the game, the drama was just terrible.

I'm pretty sure he rarely reads VNs these days and only gives his critiques based on the summary Micchi writes.

Does anyone here have 近親交際倶楽部

>>19192997
The drama sucks, but Rea herself is so good she makes up for it.

Is reading the prequel to Kokoro Rista necessary?

>>19195465
No. Aside from references and I think one shared character (different VA), it's completely standalone.

>one of the heroines is a struggling artist
god i hate self-insert shit like this, it's so cringy

>>19196477
I find it disgusting too. Especially because the author is implicitly implying that his eroge is "art" while it's nothing close to being something more literary like 素晴らしき日々.
