As I was saying,many fetishes rely on eroge for their fulfillment. For instance mamono musume is impossible in real life. But not in eroge world.

Also, hypnotism is impossble,or at least the fun variety is in real life. Sure you can watch a shitty fetish vid by westerners, but I don't recommend it.

Gikei has some pretty good girls but the fight scenes are a big step down from Inre's previous works.

I'm going to replay Baldr Sky Dive1+2. Last time I played it was the original versions.
I noticed on VNDB that there were some re-releases since. A "masterpiece chronicle" collection which was supposedly updated for win10 and a "Re-price" edition.

I'm perfectly fine with the original version that I even still have installed, but do these releases bring anything worthwhile to update? Even some weapon rebalancing would be nice, since ranged weapons sucked in D1+2 but were updated for Dive X.

It's quite important to read various grades of quality to actually calibrate your views and learn to moderate your expectations.
If you choose to read only "the best of the best" you'll never get to appreciate what actually makes those games great and you'll always be downstream of subjective evaluations by other people who have subjectively decided that those games are above average.

Why do they make it sounds like Kageaki is actual Hikaru's father at the end??? What their father exactly did? What was the whole meaning of Kageaki cutting that helmet?

But how is this even theoretically possible? He says himself that he is in his 20ths, Hikaru got Muramasa in like 16 iirc?

Ok fine even if putting aside the age bs, what was the whole point of hiding it from Hikaru in the end? All she wanted is to get some father's love, and Kageaki definitely loved her enough, were Subaru's words to love her as a brother so strong that he couldn't reconsider it even for a second? Why did he still imply that getting even 1% of father's love was impossible for her when he absolutely did love her beyond any sister?

>> No.42864543

>>42864391
Kageaki loved her certainly, but he didn't love her as a father would. That's a very important and key difference. And yes, quite literally the entirety of the game is him struggling with this. That's why, during the final attack, Kageaki realizes that his biggest enemy is actually himself and proceeds to stab himself.

The climax was quite literally him being unable to kill Hikaru because his love was above his feeling of guilt, and the last fight was pretty much solving the dilemma of killing his emotions without turning into a hero.

>> No.42864751

>>42864689
He feels guilt for not being able to be a father. The final attack is effectively Kageaki acknowledging for the first time in the entire game that he's the dad. That's why Hikaru says something along the lines of 確かに、愛があった or whatever it was before dying. That was what she was striving for the entire time.

>> No.42864851

>>42864751
Yea this was exactly the wtf moment of how is this even possible as it came out almost of nowhere. Surely looking retrospectively you can interpret some of his struggles as him being unable to become a father but going through it for the first time the whole build-up was way too subtle and ended up being just a wtf moment instead of emotionally impactful.
And I still don't really see what was the actual core reason for him being unable to think of himself as a father. Is it just because of brother's setting or just because he was forced to do it and felt guilty about that? Either way kinda weak reasons when it comes to literally life and death situation for Hikaru

Don't feel too bad. I didn't get it until literally the final confrontation scene either. As for Kageaki's general hesitance/complex with the issue, I mean it's not like it's directly explained but you can infer a few things. For one, he was literally drugged up and forced to have sex. It wasn't a happy funtime like in my fetishes. It gave him trauma pretty hard and is also why he has that 性癖. Of course, you can factor in his general respect for Subaru to abide by her words as well.

It literally makes writers to force themselves to write additional routes for characters they didn't plan originally and distribute the share amount of budget between those making overall quality way worse than if there were just a few but actually well-invested routes instead.

No I know that, but what I'm asking is how did she not die while going berserk everywhere? The true route plainly reveals that she doesn't have much time left live and was on the verge of death: Kageaki or not. That presumably applies to all routes.

Protag is a young adult male, with two(?) heroines, what I assume is a great looking 50-year-old and her adult blonde daughter. Blonde daughter has a baby of her own. Protag is visiting his [aunt?] for the summer, she is a restaurant owner. There's some naked aprons, ahegao, and Don't-Get-Caught play on her route. Never got to see the blonde daughter's route. I think the aunt might be married, there's a dude in a tropical t-shirt that pops up every so often. That's all I friggin' remember. I've tried all tags I can think of on VNDB.

Your setup is fine. I used quite similar one back in the days and it brought me from being barely capable of remembering kana to being able to read almost without dictionary at all.
I would also suggest to figure out a way to track words you know or have seen numerous times and make it automatically remove furigana for those words. That helped me a lot but I'm not sure if these tools support something like that natively nowadays. I had to hack in my one solution during those times.

I'm only like 2 routes into the first senshinkan but I like it the most out of all the games he wrote so far. Despite the game tackling some heavy themes and having his usual writing style it feels way more light hearted and the main cast is actually good. It reminds me of persona in a way, a bunch of teenagers facing this huge supernatural threat but being unwilling to abandon their normal school life at the same time. Hey we just almost got fucking killed, time to bitch about how that made us miss the school trip. Omg I passed out and got hospitalized and now my dad is really overprotective, he's so annoying. It's very entertaining.

>> No.42890529

>>42890288
Excellent question. For simplicity's sake, I'm just going to talk about the first Senshinkan game so ignore the second one existing. Both games have a pretty good group dynamics among the main cast or protagonists. This is something I would say Dies largely lacked. While certainly there were a few comradery scenes scattered in there with Shirou, Ren, Kei, etc., you couldn't say it was particularly present. Both KKK and Senshinkan pretty much start off with setting up the "party" so to speak so you always have that 仲間 feeling lurking around. The difference between these two is that KKK verly clearly has a pairing for everyone (4 guys, 4 girls, not exactly a mystery who is for who) while Senshikan is a more "traditional" eroge setting (multiple girls after one guy in a school no less). Masada is a cool guy though and MC friends get some action too. Between the two, Senshinkan is overall stronger on the SOL/character stuff and is actually really funny. KKK is still pretty good on this front though. Habaki's antics were amusing.

On that note, I personally felt that KKK had much stronger heroines overall. I don't mean like in terms of writing, but simply on a pure attractivenes level. Sakuya, Rindou, etc. all get me going pretty easily. Even Ryuusui isn't a bad loli. On the other hand, Senshinkan's heroine power is just a lot weaker to me. I liked Mizuki, but that's honestly about it. And I guess that kind of translated into the H for me because the first Senshinkan honestly had some of the most dull H scenes I've ever seen. I don't expect big scenario games like this to make me go nuts, but it wasn't even really servicable.

The structure between the two is pretty different as well. KKK is a linear plot where the branches are different character point of views. Senshikan is a good, old multi-route mystery. So in that regard, KKK's plot is a lot simplier. The story certainly gets big and grand, but well it's not really that complicated. It's not like Dies where it had multiple characters doing keikakus at the same time and where one guy's keikaku was according to another guy's keikaku, etc. Senshinkan is a bit more like that. Not nearly as much autism as Dies, but it's more along those lines. One big negative point of KKK is that the final fight sucks. Now that I've told you this, you'll mentally brace yourself a bit so it won't be as bad, but still it's disappointing. Everyone knows how insane the final showdown in Dies was. In Senshinkan, the final fight is also pretty goddamn metal. Not really the case in KKK.

For me, I think I slightly preferred KKK overall. It could just be because I prefer the shinza setting a bit. I felt KKK weighed more heavily on the character drama and conflict than Senshinkan did. Of course, I'm not at all saying that's absent in Senshikan. Quite the opposite. But when it comes to characters autistically screaming each other's names, I felt that was more present in KKK and I eat that shit up. Also, I just really like the setting and overall aesthetic a bit more. It's just cool.

tl;dr: just play senshinkan sometime after k3 anyway since they're both great and thanks for reading my blogpost

you are the immature one here
simple things can mean a lot to people who can relate and glean deep impressions from it
a fast food meal can mean nothing to you if you eat it every other week (or day), but to a homeless person who has to scrap for absolute shite to fill their stomach every day, a full-course of hamburger can fill them to the brim with happiness.
once you grow up a little bit (mentally, not just physically) you will start to feel (not appreciate- takes a little longer than that) the difference in people's conceptions of things. It's normal for young men to be underdeveloped in these areas even past their puberties. Sometimes it just doesn't progress.

no, it means individual people matter and not only what you have to say about things yourself. People who think like this have never had real interpersonal conflicts in their lives and thus never have to take others' perceptions into consideration.

This is a slightly childish worldview. Junk trash is junk trash at the end of the day, the world is devoid of happiness, your Freudian existence grows sadder the more you obsess over poorly written mommy nukige. Good for you to have found your happy place: you must realize how pathetic it is.

Gotta love how some anons innocently discussing porn in the eroge thread triggers some weird meta argument.

>> No.42897862

that's also the problem with elitists who are so self-absorbed and insulant that they are never capable of understanding why popular things are popular despite the thing they're looking at is by all means and purposes, straight garbage. The human element just never enters into their mental sphere

Subjective evaluations are clouded in stupidity. I don't think joy matters more than truth. Which is why the best nukige is all about truths and very depressing...or just cynical between the lines.

it's actual a talking point of sociology (in developed countries, only) where they debate whether those at the bottom of the social ladder (junkies, prostitutes, furries, etc) deserve to have their opinions considered in the overall evaluation of societal wellness. I think its essential for a fair and goal-ridden society cause without a variety of measurements of satisfaction people will forever chase meaningless things which only benefit a few
>>42897883
its all fictions to satisfy some corners in readers' desires anyway. The realization that life is as good or as bad as the way you perceive events is both harrowing and liberating at the same time.
Remember that we seek things only as long as we desire them which is the only golden truth (yeah umifag talkin)

some read things to feel bad just to feel better about the state of things. Most nukiges contain themes of prostitution, coercion, social unfairness, etc anyway. The more intelligent readers can see the subtext behind seemingly innocuous plots

take the momcest stuff for example. It highlights how fucked some modern parent-child relations are in japan to the point of fantasies where sons fuck and impregnante their (actual or pseudo) moms generate profits... So even when you think something is trivial or only superficial people can still find ways to make it depressing and poignant and enjoy it

When does this start getting interesting?
I got to the second night so far and I'm hooked on the story and want to see how it ends but the sex scenes are super long and daunting.
And they include important plot points so you can't just skip over it either.

incestual porn exists across all cultures. porn can reflect societal ills but you’re grasping too hard
it’s like people who have an entire spiel about how dead end aegis is a scathing critique on capitalism and feminism, or how dasaku is a sublime commentary on loving monsters and the nature of beauty
by trying to find depth they end up looking more shallow

Did the heroine of the last nukige you read cucked you or something?. every other community has fallen when discussing stuff like that, this is perhaps the only one remaining where you can seriously discuss stuff related to porn in a serious manner.

Eh, being one-note isn't that bad as far as voice acting smut goes anyway. Speaking of a voice actress with range, though, Tsubame Yuzuki is absolutely incredible with her voice range and it surprises me that she isn't hired more often to voice in eroge. She usually gets hired a shit ton for ASMR works instead.
