>>39283716
this scaling is trash, my eyes literally bleeding rn, you should kys if you read vn like this

>>39283734
kek

>>39283749
don't kek on me, retard
you should use integer scaling with old pixel art games, not like this

Is Atelier Kaguya dead?
They usually release 1 game every month

>>39283768
How do you control what scaling your computer uses? I've noticed a lot of my screenshots looking fuzzy, although they look fine when I'm actually playing the VN.

>>39284065
use https://github.com/Blinue/Magpie, not just default vinnie bullshit for everything lower than 1008p

>>39284686
what mode do you suggest for this? I dont really want to use the ai upscaling stuff that gets rid of finer details

>>39284711
Anime4k 3x is the best one I've tried

>>39284686
>>39284755
Do I really have to download an external program and run everything through it to make it look good?

>>39284711
depends on vn, really
acnet/anime4k usually

dunno why your screenshots looks fine on your pc, maybe your display takes care of this stuff
lanczos if you don't want actual ai scaling

also you probably to download this fork, actually https://github.com/Z-Dante/Magpie/releases
since this one comes with more scale methods

>>39284760
for vns yes, because almost no one bothers with implementation of good looking upscale
senshikan looks cool in 1440p, even font, not sure if it's native resolution or just good upscaling

>>39284760
it's not really that heavy of a matter
>run magpie
>make vn window the active window
>press alt+f11
>vn looks great

>>39284767
If the original resolution of a vn is high enough, even mediocre upscale algorithms will look alright.

>>39284773
guess you're right
back when i tried 720p -> 1080p default vn scale, most of them looked horrible on my old display for some reason

just tried now and 1080p -> 1440p default upscale looks good enough
kirikiri still kinda suffers tho https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/22709

>>39283716
What is wrong with you? I am just ask the title of this game.

>>39284880
It is the first result.

>>39284711
If you care about details avoid ACNet & Anime4K presets at all costs. (Anime4K_Upscale_GAN might be usable)
I usually go with FSRCNNX_Lineart + SSimDS. Pic related is how you add the custom preset.

>>39284686
Works well enough but I wish there was a way to upscale the window to a higher resolution but have it still windowed than it setting it to your native res at full screen. Having only one monitor sucks.

>>39286622
Are you a good boy like this anon? >>39177781
If so then you only need one monitor if you use this >>36951898 chroma key transparency setup.

>>39289142
I'm wondering how anon managed to do that, seems like it'd be much better than always alt tabbing the way I do now. I know C++ and Python but have very little experience writing browser stuff

I like how when Eimi asks for MC's typeat the start of the prologue he is literally describing the other 3 heroines

1) gentle oppai loli = Chizu

2) cute & fresh & responsible small-breasted girl with long silver-hair = Collet

3) a beautiful xmas cake overflowing with motherhood that has a 安産型 body = Taeko

although #3 begs the question, how can a virgin xmas cake be "overflowing with motherhood"? i suppose what they actually mean is a doting onee-san type, right?

>>39284065
>How do you control what scaling your computer uses?
find a better way to take screenshots. i recommend ShareX

>>39285046
Obaa x Holic ? Sounds legit

>>39286262
>全年齢向けのノベルゲームブランド「Novus（ノウス）」を新設
lol fuck off

think i'm too autistic for this scaling business, the artifacts drive me insane especially around the text
anime4k has less artifacts but just looks like melted shit
it also makes taking screenshots more annoying cuz share x will always screenshot the original window area instead of the enlarged game
yep back to windowed mode at native res it is

>>39291215
I don't use windows, so I just cope by integer scaling old stuff (720p and up is perfectly good on a 4k screen).

>>39284767
>senshikan looks cool in 1440p, even font
Malie actually has native resolution font rendering. It's hilariously sad that this is still isn't the norm somehow for VNs, but it's nice when it does happen.

>>39289142
Seems like a cool overlay, but those browser dictionaries suck. I use the EPWING version of 広辞苑 in EBWin

Is it true pic related has fake H? I.e. it's all in a separate menu after you finish a route

>>39291215
>the artifacts drive me insane especially around the text
Mostly I think the text looks fine, but something looks wrong with the UI or details on the CGs.
I also tried scaling the utawarerumono remake and the 3d parts looked even worse than before with every option.

>>39293434
Hmm, doesn't seem quite right. Or maybe Cthulu is considered romantic?

>>39293512
lol

>>39293460
No idea about Last Run but the first release yeah, no h-scenes at all during the story, very lame. Monobeno handled it in a better way: It has scenes in the story and also unlockable scenes that you could see from the menu but not at the end of the route, they unlocked as you progressed and were readily available anytime.

>>39293512
use a real dictionary

>>39293821
I do, I use 広辞苑 like I posted above. Just wanted an example of jmdict's stupidity.

no dictionary can help you if you can't read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_(prose_fiction)

>>39294361
Japs say fucking ロマン all the time (well at least the shit I read does) with that same meaning anyway. Should be pretty obvious desu.

>>39294361
But 伝奇 is different than non-love romantic fiction too. And even if it wasn't an ambiguous definition is useless.
>As a literary genre of high culture, "heroic romance" or "chivalric romance" is a type of prose and verse narrative that was popular in the noble courts of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe. They were fantastic stories about marvel-filled adventures, often of a chivalric knight-errant portrayed as having heroic qualities, who goes on a quest.

In contrast, the Japanese word's definition, from a good dictionary:
でんき１【伝奇】 (denki)
伝奇小説[物語]　a tale of the fantastic [bizarre].
伝奇的な　fantastic; bizarre.

Bizarre things like Cthulu (as above in the screenshot of EGS Saya no Uta page) would not fit in the category of historical romance or ロマン.
So no, it's still a fucking terrible definition.

>>39294411
>"a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents"
A-anon this isn't your high school english class

Looking forward to Futakoi

>>39294628
I'm not saying there's zero overlap between 伝奇 and romance, I'm just saying that it's an extremely poor definition
Many gothic romances could be called 伝奇. But many romances could not. And many 伝奇小説 would not be best described as romance.
No modern speaker of English would describe Saya no Uta's horror elements as "romance."
A good dictionary uses multiple words to explain the nuances of terms like the English definition I posted above, or even better the Japanese definition >>39293821 posted.

>>39294652
I koi futa.

>>39294652
i have a difficult time enjoying soulless asage, but hopefully considering the title there's some drama or something that makes it playable

Niggas, this game gets me rock hard. It's not that the art itself is anything above the average or whatnot, but the storyline is fantastic and hits all my sweet spots, *especially* the plot twist.

To summarize, our hero is 42-year old Asano Masaki, a hardworking salaryman with a loving wife and daughter. But as usual, the wife doesn't put out. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she's really not interested in sex beyond babymaking (based?). So our boy is really pent up, and what makes matters worse is that his daughter, Yuriko, has grown up to be super beautiful with a rack to rival the gods, and she clings to him every day because she's Daddy's Girl. She also seems to accidentally show off her body to her dad every so often, so it makes matters even worse for him.

In comes the Incest Dating Club, which pairs people with lookalikes of the family members they lust after. Masaki receives a message from them on his way to work, but doesn't really think much more of it (if you delete the message it's game over). When he gets so pent up, to the point where he simply has to blow a load into someone or go insane, he messages them and they send him a lookalike of his daughter called Reika. While Masaki uses Reika as an outlet for his desire for his daughter Yuriko, Reika uses him as an outlet for her desire for her own father. But as things progress, they get more and more into it and start to have feelings for each other...

The twist is really what elevates this story though, though some may have seen it coming already: This entire time, Reika was just Yuriko in disguise. There never existed an Incest Dating Club, she'd just bought another phone and texted her dad from that. Our boy has been rawdogging his own daughter in love hotels, the park, his own house - without knowin she was actually his flesh and blood daughter. But of course, Yuriko doesn't want to stop there, she wants to go even further.

There are several endings, but the one I'd consider canon, because it's basically what the story has been building up to and is longer with more CGs than the others, is the Orgy ending. Masaki basically gives into his desire for his daughter after she sucks him off under the sheets, right next to his wife, and they start fucking in the living room until his wife catches them in the act. Some time passes after that, and we're treated to Masaki and Yuriko fucking while discussing their plans for their Incest Dating Club-company, which has really taken off. What they do is make people think they're having sex with lookalikes of their family members, and when they're finally hooked on each other, they reveal that they aren't lookalikes but the actual objects of their lust. But by that point they're too far gone and they fall right into Masaki and Yuriko's hands, unable to stop their desire. The ending is them participating in a, well, orgy between fathers and daughters. No swapping or anything, but they can say hello to each other while their cocks are deeply embedded in their daughters' private parts. Shit's hilarious but also obscenely hot. And yes, Yuriko has already borne Masaki another daughter, so you know where that's leading.

For a nukige, 10/10 purely for the writing.

>>39295117
So the wife/mother never gets involved?

>>39294652
I wonder how the routes will work with the two-timing system. Hopefully we'll get routes with multiple heroines like with the twins in KoiKari.

>>39295117
>rack to rival the gods

do you know where to find the crack?

>>39291453

>>39291035

>>39295760

>>39295666
are none of the uploads on a-s working/cracked?

>>39291035
>find a better way to take screenshots. i recommend ShareX
I don't know if ShareX is better than my current system of using the windows prtscr button, attaching the screenshot to a 4chan post, writing down the post number, and looking the post up in the archive if I ever want to repost the image.

>>39296041
I can't imagine that's a very good way to store screenshots since archives die all the time.

>>39295666
just get the physical edition, it shouldn't need one

>>39295850
i checked both a-s and miko, both use the same uncracked source

>>39296041
printscreen is pretty crappy compared to ShareX i really suggest trying it since with one keypress it takes the pic, converts it to png and then saves it in a %year-%month folder but it has tons and tons of options. been using it for almost 4 years now with almost 32k screenshots, but i also use it to create webm's and such , such as the attached one. though admittedly my webm arent very good compared to some ppl's its good enough for personal use

>>39296454
>converts it to png and then saves it in a %year-%month folder
but it doesn't have to be png, it can save in jpg or bmp or a bunch of other options. it can also auto-upload to imgur and such i believe but ive never used those options. it also has options to take screenshots of just the active window and not the entire screen, create webm/gif, etc etc. really great program all around

>>39296519
>>39296454
Damn I never knew about the webm part. I just use obs and convert it with the /g/ program, which is really long and inconvenient.

>>39295742
Fucking onscripter does native resolution text. Funny how we regressed.

>>39296454
>>39296066
That post was a joke, I'm using sharex. The actual issue is that certain games look fine on my screen but are fuzzy in screenshots. But I think the actual problem might be that they're fuzzy on my screen too but my eyes are too shit to notice unless they're blown up in a screenshot.

>>39297249
might wanna refrain from more jokes in the future, anon

any particular version of yotsunoha i should play or does it not matter

Any games with a pad-breasted girl?

I love those but somehow when I search for more I just find a million references to Riddle Joker and nothing else

>>39296454
Main thing that got me to finally switch over to ShareX after just having a single clusterfuck folder with over 100k+ "Screenshot (XXXXX).png" was that it would automatically convert to jpg if the image gonna be over 4MB and use png otherwise, very convenient so I don't run into problems when I want to post something later.

Also now that I've been using it I feel retarded for doing things that way since having it automatically sort things into folders for me and name things in a more intelligent way makes life much easier... I have manually sorted through some 80k of my images to try to match the new naming scheme but I've been too lazy to get to the rest yet. Maybe I'll finish soon, it's kind of tedious but I usually just put on some history podcast for an hour or two and mindlessly sort through stuff while learning about history and it's not so bad.

>>39297923
Does having that many screenshots organized matter? You're never going to post them anywhere, there's simply too many.

>>39297936
I have sometimes gone back and felt like posting some old screenshot if the subject of the game came up... But yeah most of them I probably never will I guess

>>39297891
pic related though it's just one route, and one heroine from eiyuu senki has it as her shtick

>>39297923
i hope you aren't doing all that manually, you can use something like bulk rename utility to do it in no time

>>39298029
Thanks I'll check it out

>>39295214
She plays a role in the story, but she doesn't have a sprite or anything. She mainly exists to guilt trip our boy and to get cucked
>>39295666
I don't think the one I used needed a crack

>>39298029
>i hope you aren't doing all that manually, you can use something like bulk rename utility to do it in no time
Nah so far what I've done is
>use Autohotkey groups to populate a bunch of empty subfolders (mostly just because it's an easy way to get a quick list of window titles for most VNs I've played)
>Go into screenshot folder, find first screenshot of game, click it
>Shift-click last consecutive screenshot I see of game
>Drag into subfolder
>Repeat

Then when I'm finished I'll probably just write a quick Python script to rename them in a manner consistent with the other ShareX ones, mostly because my autism demands it.

>>39297923
>Main thing that got me to finally switch over to ShareX
What got me to switch was that I was sick and tired of screenshots taking up 2-3mb+ each, and seeing other people on 4chan posting similar pics that took my internet way too long to load; back then I had shit-tier internet and if a screenshot took more than 5s to load I just ignored it

The worst is when anons post their 2mb+ screenshots and refuse to switch to something like ShareX out of some weird sense of stubborn pride.

Any nukige where a girl can get fucked to her death e.g. get raped by a huge monster and its dick crushed her innards/torn her vagina/cum burst out from her mouth through her ass and stomach? Or human male with small fairies or other minigirls do the same thing as the monster/girl pair. Or something like the girl get drugged then raped repeatedly until she expires, or gets fucked on the guillotine and immediately executed after she's fucked. I want something that involves actual coitus, not shit like literally getting drilled like Fraternite or gets eaten by a fish inside out from the vagina like Ryakudatsusha no Inen.

It's still fairly gory, but since it was a console release, it could not have anysex scenes. At least Shiki canonically has sex, unlike in the Realta Nua F/SN.

>>39304834
blessed anon. I'm almost done with my second play of it.

>>39304840
Arc's heavy and crazy breathing is more erotic than most h-scenes.

>>39304834
Is there anyone who prefers the original?

>>39304877
I'm sure there's some hipsters out there.

>>39304877
The far-side routes were better than the near-side routes, so while we are still waiting for The other side of red garden, yes.
Also, Nrvnqsr>Vlov

>>39304921
Nu-near side > OG far side.
I anticipate that Red Garden is going to be insanely controversial on 4chan anyway. The near side was the easy fix. Nasu went far above and beyond my expectations but fundamentally all he had to do was make the audio/visuals pretty, fix up the fights, and fix ciels route. We'll see what happens with the next part. That's a lot harder.

>>39304834
You only half finished half of it. Wait another 10 years for the other half.

>>39304955
I will grant you that the presentation and direction are all around better. And of course VA, which was absent from the original release. Still, Vlov was nowhere near as interesting as interesting as Nrvnqsr. Nu-Arc route ≈ old Arc route depending on how much you value these things. New Ciel route > old Ciel route. It is actually different, from Arc's route.
Still, I loved how Far Side routes were more focussed on Shiki's psychology instead of the chuuni fight scenes, so to me Far Side>Nu Near Side>OG Near Side.
I am interested to see how Nasu handles Far side routes when they are released in 2027. They will either be far superior or they will miss the point of the point completely.
I wish other VNs paid attention to what Nasu was doing with the direction in Mahouyo and Tsuki-R.
>>39304970
I honestly did not expect to for any of it to be actually released.

>>39304834
Ciel true route was complete shit and ruined the game for me

>>39305194
filtered

>>39305194
It's not really /that/ different from the normal end, except a lot longer for some reason. I do agree that the normal route ending is more satisfying.

>>39305244

because it's cool

>>39305413
>finish normal end
>7 scenes in total
>decide to do true end next

>>39305510
You should have listened to neko arc.

How is Kara no Shoujo 2. I've heard it's decent.
I kind of liked the first one, but the multiple endings kind of ruined the emotional impact any one of them would have.
I liked Sumaga, far-side Tsukihime and Umineko for what it's worth.
I think there's an English TL, but I'll read it in JP regardless.

>>39305902
Kara no Shoujo 2 is a lot more linear than the clusterfuck of the original. It's been a long time since I played it, but you basically get the ends that explain the mystery and then upon replay you get all the extra H shoved in awkwardly for the true end that ties everything up. It might sound similar to your complaint, but there are no longer any abrupt bad ends due to misclick to ruin the pacing. I personally liked it a lot more than the first, but it depends on how much you like the cast of kids from the village, since they get a lot of flashback time. Mystery is pretty obvious, but the music, OPs, and visuals are gorgeous.

You can make the "patch" yourself if you don't trust it, just copy the image files from the eng version to the jap version.

>>39302188
This is the asage where the only good heroine (Yuna) wasn't even depicted on the cover, I remember this clusterfuck. This was the worst asaproject game E V E R. The 'supposed' main heroine Mari is downright awful, whoever wrote her route deserves to be cucked and then strangled.

I really, really hope asaproject has learned their lesson and doesn't try any similar shenanigans in futakoi.

Seriously, who thought having an ex-gf heroine who are still mutually in love with each other was a good idea, paired with the sheer stupidity of the """main heroine""" Mari's route?!? This title deserved to be treated like Kakyuusei 2...

>>39298993
It's a RPG, and I'm not in mood for tedious gameplay right now.
>>39300167
Problem with guro is, the tag is not specific. I want girls get snuffed out by fucking, or at least killed moment after the girl orgasm to sear the terror/pleasure to her soul as it leaves her body. Most of the time it's more like girl maimed first then get fucked, get sawed in half and stiched together, get crushed by a death trap, get fried in hot oil, etc. Still, thanks for the recc.

The e-mote looked pretty bad from the samples they showed.

So what do we know about SakuToki? I wasn't reading Scaji's Twitter nor have read the trial.

I'm hearing there's no heroine routes?

What's the comfiest laptop for eroge? A 2 in 1 with a touchscreen that I can just keep poking with my dick?

kino

>>39320224
a thinkpad x220 with a 1080p screen upgrade

>>39320224
All laptops are shit unfortunately.

>>39320224
I've been using my 2 in 1 laptop for eroge.
IMO, it's fucking terrible if you want to fap.
You either use it on a desk like a pc, or you have this heavy big thing to try and position comfortably to the point where it won't be in the way of your dick, won't be too close to your face nor too far away.
Also eroges have 0 native support for touch controls so if you misclick and want to go back it's a pain and a half.
3/10 would not recommend.

>>39321183
Also, just to give some constructive advice as well and not just negative:
If you want to play on the couch or whatever, the best option would be a good android tablet; big screen one, because you can't change font size most of the times, if you also have a pc on the side you can stream locally all the eroges you can't natively play with kirikiroid or other means.

Otherwise, the only realistic option if you want a windows machine, IMO, would be a surface device.
Being able to completely detach the keyboard making it mostly a tablet experince is the killer feature for eroge enjoyment.

With these you'd still have the problem of positioning, but at least they are going to be miles lighter than a 2 in 1 laptop (even the lightest ones are heftier than is comfortable IMO).

Newfag here: how to play eroge on Linux? Any of you anons do it? Is it comfy? Is it doable for a retard?

>>39321669
install wine-stagging, the japanese language in the system and run things from the terminal with "TZ=Asia/Tokyo LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8 LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 WINEPREFIX=~/eroge_prefix wine ****" where ~/eroge_prefix the path you want for the wine prefix, and **** the name of the executable
if there are problems with videos, they generally get fixed installing winetricks and then installing quartz wmp11 lavfilters and other video related things, you might need to experiment to get the ones needed for a certain game to run
you can also install DXVK, but the improved performance is almost inexistent with VNs, and sometimes it adds problems with videos that work with the wine implementation of directx, so it's best to leave it unless you need the performance boost or some novel fails to start or gives you a black screen and you want to try DXVK to see if it works

Disturbing facts about the so-called l*arnjapanese.moe and his "guide".

0) It was MattvJapan's shilling on twitter that made him known to the public. and yet, he backstabbed Matt by leaking private conversations with him.
1) He doesn't know Japanese, nor we have seen videos of him speaking in it.
2) He's Turkish.
3) His half-assed "guide" is full of malware, and he scams people for donations.
4) He uses cringecord, a proprietary spyware app. He puts people who trust him in danger by forcing them to use it too.
5) He hosts his site on Github (owned by Micro$oft).
・Visual novels. Experienced learners say they're trash because of unnatural speech and useless vocabulary. Most VNs are proprietary ー https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/
He isn't an honest person. He is a hypocrite who promotes the exact opposite of what he does. Stick to tatsumoto's targeted sentence cards if you want to get good.

What happened to Romeo's new key VN

Im not working on it anymore.

Wow, henpri is literally sakuuta, but actually good.

>>39325952
At least Sakuuta had good art

>>39325952
Sakuuta is about Ubermensch artists creating mind-boggling shit
Henpri is just a couple of degenerates making shovelware kusoge

I hope this trend of VNs about creators jerking off about muh art will end. It's like these hacks can only write about themselves.

Got around to reading some of the yns fandisc. Finished Kozues route and was a bit surprised by it being from her perspective and staying that way for 90% of the story. It was rather funny seeing her being high-strung over trivial things related to Haruka and it definitely gave you insight into just how much she was head-over-heels for him. Does make what happens to her in Soras route hurt that much harder though.
Onto Yahiros route.

I use a Surface Go for eroge and it is perfect, except sometimes older eroge can have difficulty with the touchscreen for some reason. The only warning I would give is to not use the kickstand to hold the tablet in one hand. That thing breaks super easy.

>>39325111

That interview really gave me good motivation to read Sakura no Uta.

>>39327450
Nothing can give me enough motivation to go through that garbage again. Expect for a couple of memorable scenes in the flashback here and there most of it is annoyingly bad. At least toki's trial looks promising.

I hope Tailon is going to come back... he had a few months of silence back in 2017...

>>39327935
Tailon isn't a single person. It's a big group that pooled money and bought stuff.

They might have needed some money knowing the new title wouldn't be done for a while still, or they might have been worried that going so long without releasing anything would damage them in some way.
But seeing how fucking cheap it was I don't think they expected it to be successful.

>>39334495
Well it's true for her, if she didn't care about eroge as much as she doesn't she never would have made it as a vtuber, her early days were pretty bad

>>39334559
Nah, man. If something doesn't feel the same to me, all the people talking about it are either lying or parroting e-celebs.

>>39334559
Playing any VN trivially changes your life in some way, directly or indirectly. When someone specifically says this particular VN changed her life it mostly means it directly had a profound impact on their worldview/actions/philosophy etc.

>>39334822
Indeed. Tsui no Sora taught me that you probably shouldn't fuck Nyarlathotep.

If your life is changed by a VN it says more about your life than the VN. Like that edgy anon here who realized that having friends can be fun after playing oretsuba lol

Parquet was explicitly a test run where they wanted to try out a bunch of stuff - all-ages, a more plot-focused game, a JP/EN simulrelease on several platforms and mobile - but didn't want to actually take a risk doing it on a real full-length VN they spent time and money making. Apparently it did decently? Although not as well as their regular VNs.

Why do you care about how people think of their VN experience?

>>39340677
>vcancer
>>39313209
sure

Played a bit of white album 1. Not that far into it yet but it just feels so painfully generic, not just in comparison to WA2 but even compared to a regular moege-. The entirety of the prologue is just a chain of disconnected heroine introduction scenes that barely give any hook to continue the game. The premise and relation with yuki just gets bluntly described in the first couple scenes without any effort to make the player connect with how the MC feels. And don't get me started on those <5 line "conversations"" during the character events. Does it get better during the routes? Personally I can't see any reason to continue aside from the banger insert songs, cucking the trap osanajimi and the novelty of comparing the game to WA 2.

Wait, I don't get it, why are most heroines the same from ai kiss 1 to 2 to 3.
Are they all sequels of each other?
Are they all remakes of each other...?
wtf is this.

>>39344595
Haven't played it, but aren't returning heroines a good thing? It's what I liked about the Boin series. Setting and some characters may change, but the MC and the two main girls are a constant. I can respect that.

>>39344808
I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, I'm just wondering because if it's a sequel sort of thing, then you'd better play the others first.
If it's a remake sort of thing, then you should *not* do that.

>>39344836
Ah, I see your point. Yes, I agree. One of the reasons I never got into Rance was because I feel that I must play the PC98 games first, and RPGs of that time were horrible, so I never got into it.

The good side of self contained games, I suppose.

>>39340154
Is this the first official vtuber porn game? I don't watch vtubers but that sounds cool.

Is she really though? I see his source is a LN review. Could be different in the VN.

>>39345930
Checked for myself and it's kill.

>>39345385
Looked at the CGs. Hate that shitty dead eye look. I prefer the character to be made yandere through her actions and dialogue, not by being lazy with a filter.

>>39340853
I finished the prologue of WA2 and am like 5-10 hours into the main story and I keep struggling to actually play the game. Like I get 3 minutes into playing and then the MC starts whining his ass off and then Izumi comes along and whines and I can't stand that leech shit so I close the game. I probably have like 10 saves where I only lasted a few lines because it's just pointless infodumping, bitching, and making retarded decisions. Someone tell me it gets better man...

>>39345385
For me yandere is weird in that, I think the best way to handle it is if the twist comes out of nowhere, but then that means it is a spoiler and it becomes hard to use as a selling point.
If a girl acts crazy from the beginning, or you know she will at one point snap and go yandere then the impact of such a character gets lessened.

>>39346574
The most popular yandere, Yuno, was an obvious one even without LNfags spoiling it. It was the escalations that made it amazing.

Is it worth it to try and play the steam version of Muv-Luv TDA (think it's windows 10 only or some shit; not sure if that can be worked around) or should I just say fuck it and play the original release?

>>39347602
>play the original release?
https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/3000390

>>39347639
Yeah that's the one I have. Allegedly the steam version added some more stuff later though. I know one character became fully voiced (cool but not a huge deal). I'm not sure if anything else is substantially different to warrant suffering through whatever is going on.

>>39347700
