/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I finally finished Baldr Sky (Dive 1 and 2) today. It definitely has its weak points, but I liked it overall. The story sort of feels like its greater than the sum of its parts. I surprisingly ended up liking Makoto way more than I originally thought I would.

I want to read Mojika's true route. Can someone upload save for it? I tried to download from sagaoz, all the CGs are open, but save slots are empty.

Playing Mebae and it reminds me why I dislike perverted hetare protagonists so much.

Is 天使のいない12月 actually good, or it's just depressing for the sake of being depressing like many utsuges?

Played Miagete Goran. Was pretty underwhelming.

It's kinda hilarious, how bad the flashbacks are in that game though. The writer is kinda known for padding, but it's heavy. First he does the "show, don't tell" concept, then an hour later he flashes back and does "tell" as well. Makes it feel like the writer thinks, you can't read between lines at all, but it's probably just the usual padding problem. Some scenes also start randomly in the middle and then show the beginning at a point, nobody cares anymore because you literally know everything that happened there already anyway. It feels like a jumbled mess.
It also doesn't help that everything that's not directly about the main three feels like it's just tacked on to have a "school element" and more heroines. The way it's handled was so bad.

Honestly, I think the game would've been so much better, if there just was complete focus about the main three and all of the other shit wasn't there. But alas, gotta have your 2+mb game. Not like this problem is new.

Which is worse, hetare pervert or passive nice guy donkan?

>>20272721
Those aren't mutually exclusive

>>20272721
One has, at the very least, something of a character trait and sex drive, the other doesn't even have that.

>>20272721

>>20272721
Perverts are usually worse. As in, actual real perverts, regardless of hetare or not. Just because a guy watches porn and is interested in the female body, it doesn't make him a pervert.
Hetare generally makes things less enjoyable to read. That is, again, real hetare. Many protags are called that, even though they aren't even really hetare. For one thing, real hetare are probably not even doing anything perverted at all outside of their fantasies. Let alone have sex. But if you have a perverted "hetare" in eroge, that's usually not true. Part of why it sucks I guess.

Honestly, I'd not even mind reading a VN with a real hetare that's also a major pervert in some ways. Doubt that really exists though.

>>20272624
so it's the cute anime girl version of pulp fiction?
picked up senpai

Why restrict the thread to only untranslated VNs? It's not like VNs suddenly become worse once they get a translation, they're still the same VNs they ever were. I think you should cut out the pointless elitism already

>>20272624
I liked it and fuck the haters

>>20273075
I don't think you even understand what a hater is, protip, not someone who simply disagrees with you.

>>20273073
The thread is about reading VNs in Japanese. It doesn't matter whether a game has a translation or not, only that you yourself read it in Japanese.

>>20273073
Go away EOP.

>>20273073
This is bait

>>20273073
Fuck off, subhuman.

>>20273086
Hater fuck you!

>>20273096
What if I use English text but listen to the voices in japanese?

>>20273129
If you know what the word "reading" means then you should be able to answer this yourself.

>>20273129
Then you're a subhuman and need to fuck off.

>>20273154
Reading doesn't only apply to text though. You can read lips or w/e

>>20273176
Stop the pedantry and fuck off.

>>20273179
Ok, on a different subject what do you guys think about Island?

Personally I think it was kamige.

Before this thread derails completely, let's turn back to discussing VNs.
What Majikoi "spin-offs" are worth reading? KimiAru was pretty fun, but lacked an overachieving story.
Any opinions on the other titles, such as Anekouji Naoko to Gin'iro no Shinigami or Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road?

>>20273231
I liked Tsujidou and fuck the haters

>>20273231
Tsuyokiss is better

>>20273231
I liked both tsujidou san games more than majikoi desu, Anekouji was shit.

Not sure why people always gotta rag on Grisaia trilogy I thought it was really good

>playing all-ages kusoge

>>20273231
I liked both tsujidou san games more than majikoi desu, Anekouji was shit.

>>20273231
Anekouji is a pile of wasted potential and Tsujidou-san is boring

Majikoi is kind of heads and shoulders above any other game by that studio
>>20273249
The first one is fine but the sequels aren't worth reading.

>>20273231
Play OreTsuba instead.

>>20273265
why does "desu" keep turning to "desu"?

>>20273249
The plot and characters are pretty ridiculous and out there, but the campiness is also part of what makes it entertaining. Also best girl Yuuji.

>>20273269
Jesus, did you come from Reddit yesterday? It's been a word-filter for years.

>>20273285
So what if I did? Christ, maybe >>20273073 is right you guys are so up your own asses with elitism it's not even funny

>>20273073
Why the people of this thread always fall for these baits? Or even try to make any discussion into flaming the EOPs
It has been a constant from all the time I've been here, it's a thread about untranslated vns not flaming the hell of the people that can read japanese, god.
>>20273231
The most of majikoi spin off are extra heroines so it depends on your taste of heroines, though in general are pretty good.

>>20273269
Because you should lurk for 2 years before posting.

Anyone has an alternate download to Yumemishi? The torrent on nyaa is stuck at 73% for a couple of days now

>>20273268
Sure, it does look interesting, but I want a funny comedy, not a fucked-up drama.

>>20273249
Yeah, it was fun. Characters and plot were ridiculous, but it also didn't try have some sort of "deep plot". Just over the top action and comedy.

On a different note, could someone be so nice to upload Tsuyokiss? I'm currently (and for the forseeable future) on a network where I can't torrent.

>>20273587
>Sure, it does look interesting, but I want a funny comedy, not a fucked-up drama.

Nigger OreTsuba is mostly comedy.

>>20273587
Oretsuba is 90% comedy though, even the drama is not particularly fucked up, you've probably seen worse shit and way worse handled in majikoi.

Nekopara worth playing?

>>20273643
good fap material.

>>20273596
>>20273598
Thanks, good to know. Guess I got fooled by vndb's tags.

Serious question, why do you guys go out of you way to talk about untranslated VNs on an English-language board rather than going to one of the numerous Japanese-language boards dedicated to the subject?

>>20273698
The elevens have even worse discussion and taste then we do

>>20273698
see
>>20273123

>>20273698
Why not let us do both? If you want to talk about translated ones, go to /vg/.
Also what >>20273704 said.

>>20273711
But /vg/ told me I had shit taste for liking Island which made me sad. I thought it was kamige

>>20273725
Island is a VERY good VN

>>20273725
/vg/ are faggots then.

>>20273725
Leave.

>>20273837
But the translation was made by Frontwing who is a Japanese company so technically it's still an untranslated visual novel

>>20273855
Jesus Hata, everyone can tell you're here only to be an annoying subhuman piece of shit. Leave.

>>20273981
???

>>20273983
Sorry, I thought you were Hata, another autist that acted just like you.

Anyway, fuck off. You might be able to dodge a ban that way.

>>20274329

What's that

>>20274349
Something everyone knows. Except you, I guess.

>>20274356
Well englighten me then dipshit

>>20274321
There are three groups of people, when it comes to Island.

-The big tit lovers. They don't give a shit about this one.
-The flatty lovers and lolicons. They were too angry about the game having no adult content.
-The plot fans. They forgot about the game over the time period of the huge delay of the console version.

Frontwing also advertised the game to the first two groups, the typical eroge fan, with tons of typical lewd preorder things and so on, while kinda dismissing the actual target group. It's what you basically call major marketing failure. Less almost naked dakimakura, more focus on the actual console port and perhaps a fucking voice for the MC, like all the major "all ages" plot-ge have? I know that Himawari only had a voice for the protagonist, because that just happened to be available from the previous porting company. Still. Come on. It felt like they had no idea, what they tried to sell there.

Tsuyokiss was really fun

>>20274370
Nah.

>>20274345
>>20274356
I've been trying to figure about what this is for awhile and if it's a site I know or not. I really suck at acronyms.

>>20273231
I liked Tsuyokiss, Tsujidou AND Anekouji.
However I wish Anekouji has actual character routes but I did enjoy the super long common route.

Pretty bored with life so I decided to read something trashy and picked up princess lover. Is it your standard moege?

How do you guys usually decide what to read next? How do you make up your mind?

It takes me forever.

>>20274623
Pick something that looks good and suits your mood. No need to overthink it.

>>20274623
if something I've been eyeing is getting translated then I quickly read it (or start reading) before the plebs get to it

>>20274623
I have everything I'll read for the next year planned in advance.

>>20274623
Usually other peoples excitement about something also gets me excited and I end up reading that. Hype, I guess. It's why reading a new release is more fun even if it's probably worse than most things in my backlog.

>>20271751
What game

>>20274623
By not having autism.

>>20274623
I just pick something that's the complete opposite of what I just read so I don't get burnt out.
Sometimes against my better judgment I do the opposite, though. Like when I read Chaos;Child just after being done with C;H LCC

>>20274623
Usually I play what I feel like. If I don't want to choose one, because huge backlog or I just have a general idea but nothing specific, I just choose 6 and throw (virtual) dice. It can be actually rather fun doing that.

I asked this too close to the end of last thread, so...
Does White Album 1's remake change the text a lot? I like the old writer but the remake looks and probably sounds so much better.

>>20274623

>>20272974
The reason I called him a perverted hetare is because, firstly: a good 90% of all he thinks about is sex/female anatomy or if the current event could lead to ecchi situations. And more importantly, he is extremely romantically indecisive and just gets pushed around by both girls until the route split, and only ever really takes the lead near the last third of the individual routes. He's not even smart enough to help the girls with their homework, the only thing he can do is something basic like give them a handkerchief or tissue. I suppose he is good at MonHun, does that make him not a hetare?

>>20275255

It is amusing how much it comes up in eroge, that's for sure.

>>20272411

Wasn't that the game that was advertised as a collab between Takahiro and some well liked writer but it was 95% Takahiro and 5% the other writer?

>>20275914
It was supposed to be Takahiro and Ou Jackson, but 100% Takahiro and 0% Ou Jackson. And it's apparently bad even by Takahiro's standards.

Turns out I was warned for telling the shitposter to fuck off. Seems like this is how 4channel.org is gonna be. We had good run, guys, enjoy the thread getting raided by mentally ill EOPs.

I wish there were mazacon games that weren't just nukige and had more development of their relationships. I'm reading https://vndb.org/v20170 and the mending of the awkwardness between the two and the bonding between the MC and his stepmom in her route makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

>>20277651

>>20277698
There's blood related incest in the game as well, but that's a spoiler since they don't recognize each other.

Could anybody seed this? It's been stuck on 99.7% for a few days now.

Any articles or insights about how much and why the eroge industry is declining? For three years some of you kept telling his, but I just ignored, now I'm actually interested.

>>20282658
Stop using texthookers.

>>20282643
did you try the girlcelly version too? or repairing it?

>>20282676
>>20282686
it's been in decline since before the gacha shitstorm though, that only made things worse. the 3 main problems nowadays are the market being niche from the start and having shrunk for years as the original target market ages or moves on, the PC market shrinking due to tablets and cellphones, and the rise in demand for instant gratification which is where gacha comes in and where more younger people are turning to. basically compare spending a few bucks to gamble on getting the newest FGO fotw versus a lot more upfront money for 40-60 hours on a game that may or may not live up to expectations

>>20283933
The problems I have with that scene are the lack of internal consistency and the other heroines. He's getting booted for changing too much shit, even though he changes way more shit in Shu and Wu and nothing happens. And it sucks for Nagi, Ruurin, Ruru and the other good girls but the main heroine is Karin and fuck Karin, shes awful and the idea of her route being the only bad end one makes me smile.

But yeah the remakes fine IMO, the flaws in the VN result from the old shit they kept rather then the new shit they added.

>>20284425
Le shit, that's their new game? A fandisc?

Why do "10-30 hour" VNs always actually take like 50 hours or more? Are people just counting one route only playthroughs?

Should I play Shugaten or Hatsuyuki Sakura?

>>20288637
that's fine different people have different tastes, you'll still love the routes because of how good all the heroines are

>>20288642
Yeah still plan on doing the routes, stuck it through the common and the heroines I liked enough, so might as well.

>>20288626
The Charabration MC went too trap. He starts genuinely considering himself a girl, and the heroines pick up on it and the game starts going otome, and he even gets pegged. He went full girl. Never go full girl.

Other trap mcs dont fall for that though.

>>20288810
I read them because I enjoy reading about the heroines questioning their sexuality and the specific dramas with it. Its like an advanced version of protags pretending they are rich or whatever. In saying that, most crossdressing lead games have most the cast already know, or find out very early in the route its quite disappointing.

And also because its the closest ill get to a futa on female vn.

>>20288333
Sure about that?

>>20288810
Transwomen are women so it IS real yuri.

>>20288810

>>20288831
>And also because its the closest ill get to a futa on female vn.
Those exist though.

>>20289001
Real life can't live up to the expectations eroge has given me.

>>20289042
I was using them as an example of the type of genre I want. Futa is normally relegated to pure nukige or used as disturbing scenes in plotge.

>Da Capo is still alive

It's kinda amazing how Secret Game's first episode managed to be even worse than Killer Queen's. The writer swapped some things around, removed almost all important information from the later parts and.. like what? What exactly was the fucking point of this episode? Padding? Oh right. Probably padding. Killer Queen already had major issues with feeling pointless, because it was so rushed. Now it's still rushed, but you didn't get anything near the end. In fact, the ending doesn't even really make sense I feel. It's like.. things just stop, in a way they should not.

Well, maybe the next episodes get better. Episode 1 is just very hard to enjoy anyway, with how awful the leads are. Nothing changed there. Combined with how much the game acts as if the deaths were actually emotional (hint: when someone dies every 30 minutes of playing the game and you barely get to know the characters, if at all as several die without you ever seeing them alive, it's not emotional), it's just not working well.


But hey, at least this time the whole thing has voice acting, where you don't have to mute everything. That's.. something?

How do Chink VNs compare to Jap ones? Chinese doesn't sound nearly as sexy, so I'm not sure it would be as fun.

>>20298882

>>20298925
I think it sounds pretty interesting. I actually like listening to it.

>>20298983
Not all.

what are some essential 4channel eroge

>>20298498
The game really loves showing how superior she is to the protagonist. Him supposedly being a professional makes it even worse.

>>20298882
China's VNs tend to fit in the tropey catergory. They aren't bad persay but they are pretty much the blandest thing you can come across.
I kinda appreciate the blandness though, because it makes it easier to pick up sentence structure if all these plots play out in the same high school setting with the same characters.
I enjoy them, because even if the stories are bad, it's a funner way to learn than just grinding vocab books.
>>20298925
Guess I have poor taste. I always liked Chinese and Dutch because they mold the mouth into weird shapes when you speak them, but everyone hates those.
I also don't think you're giving it a fair chance. Speaking Chinese might sound kind of funny, but the character system is unique and interesting to learn. Some characters are comprised of characters and you can intuitively guess what they mean.
>>20298891
Japanese VNs are obviously better than any other country. There is no disputing that. And I won't try and say Chinese VNs cab compete, because they can't. But recently, there has been a surge of Chinese Visual Novels being translated to English and being released on platforms. Steam has obtained a ton of Chinese VNs that aren't even in English, but because they are released on a uniquitous platform like Steam, it opens them up to the broader market.
