OP, even if you're trolling.. don't...

>hurp durp babby first vn hurp
Says the faggot who hasn't even played F/SN and is just parroting what other people say in order to fit in.

More like Demonbane got better all of a sudden.

eroges are shit, just go fap to some hentai instead.

real men play visual novels. try 999, it's the best.

>>7391227
Did I hurt your feeligns bro? F/SN is shit and /jp/ agrees.

>>7391237
don't forget ever17 while you're at it. truly the best VN ever created

Op have you played either of those games?

>>7391245
i don't like ever17, it's just a cheap 999 knockoff.

FSN actually is pretty bad, I never liked it.
Worst Nasu's work easily.

1. Generic harem
2. Very stupid generic MC
3. Plot is pretty retarded even for "porn with plot"
4. Saber is soooo boring
5. A lot of fillers like kitchen crap
6. Rider without a route
etc

>>7391235
I'd believe Kageaki being a sorcerer. A vampire, rather. He never ages, is ghostly pale, has oddly sharp fangs and can do crap no human has any business doing (though not to the extent of Taoluo, of whom capacity to pull off ridiculous stunts starts approaching infinity as he nears death.)

That aside, I still want to see a Demonbane parody where real books are used instead of Lovecraftian tomes, leaving our hero Daijuji "my penis is an eldritch horror on its own" Kurou to team up with little girl SICP and send his foes to the Land of Java using Deus Machina "The Sussman".

>>7391260
Pretty obvious.

>He never ages
what?

Even to this day I still don't know what the hype about Muramasa is about. Checking the description on vndb and judging from everyone foaming at their mouth in the VN translation thread it looks like your typical mecha shit to me.

Oh Muramasa ;_;..

>>7391278
It subverts a lot of tropes, is written pretty well for the genre's standard and has possibly one the most "lol i trol u" heroine systems conceived.
But yeah, I guess it has classical action and fighting with superpowers, though it's not the only thing it has going for it.

I like FSN but it's not comparable with Muramasa.
Really, they are in completely different leagues.

>Mooramasa

grimdark done wrong

>>7391308
But it has lots of hot men, you should love it.

>>7391276
He looks early thirties at the very most and had a career, a wife and grown up daughter. Doesn't look like he's aging normally to me.

>>7391296
The best part is Chapter 1 where you're struck with a fairly generic high school student except Kageaki pops up out of nowhere with a "Whoops, am I late? Anyhow, heroics in my game? I'm having none of that!" attitude and beheads the poor lad

>>7391310
rly? looking it up at g-ehentai

>>7391313
>He looks early thirties at the very most and had a career, a wife
In Japan people begin careers as soon as 23, I don't see how that's surprising. And, uh, wife? I don't think he ever married, am I horribly forgetting something?

lies....

>>7391359
You have no taste, go back to your shotas.

>what the hype about Muramasa is about

Well not really. Muramasa is as much about mecha than MLA I'd say. Muramasa itself is pretty unique as an eroge, I don't think there is another one like it.

I love Muramasa, Anon.

I wonder how it will be received in the west when the translation gets out.

>>7391389
Was the CG really that detailed in the game or is that some extra polished image?

>>7391399

that's a normal game cg

>>7391399
It's from the game

>>7391399
It looks extra detailed because it's resized. Here's what it would look like in the game's native resolution.

The art in Muramasa, so good.

>>7391406
I actually cried like a bitch during that scene.

So is FSN better?

>>7391446
This scene still gets to me.
The second that Itou Kanako music starts in, I fucking lose it every time.

>>7391485
No

>>7391485
You're really asking for it aren't you? The answer is no. I find it hard to believe that anyone would actually consider F/SN to be better game of the two, unless you happen to be Takajun.

They shouldn't even be compared to begin with since both are totally different games and Muramasa is leagues ahead anyway. That is not to say that Muramasa is without faults, though. F/sn is full of shitty anime cliches and it doesn't even explore any themes, unlike Muramasa. I'm saying this as someone who loved F/sn.

well, it does, just in an extremely shallow way that doesn't break with the stereotypes but just slightly bends them

>>7391209
You always know you're in for a treat when this starts playing:

>>7391541
>>7391552
what themes does the game handle?

>>7391552
While I won't say that Muramasa was some sort of literary masterpiece of an Epic, I find it kind of weird how you use the word shallow in this context. Name one contemporary book or any modern piece of fiction that does not "break the stereotypes by just slightly bending them"?

>>7391567
Revenge, justice, the nature conflict.

And kendo. Lots and lots of kendo.

blue guy and red guy are my favorite Narahara characters, their characterization just brims with life
>>7391585
Correct me if I misunderstood, but I was talking about FSN, not Muramasa. HE said he doesn't explore any themes, but the justice/seigi no mikata theme was explored in game imo, even though it didn't totally break with the established formulas like some other games with full blown anti-heroes do.

>>7391596
You're right, I'm wrong. My bad my bad.

>>7391564
OH you. I really like how they went out their way and saw the the effort making these elaborate pictures along with the infodumps.

Is Kageaki lawful evil?

>>7391622
trying to fit Muramasa's worldview into D&D objective moral alignments is kinda missing the point entirely

>>7391564

I hate threads like this. What's even the bloody point of even comparing them besides stirring up shit? Oh wait!

>>7391654
Funniest thing is there is no comparison in this case since it's kinda one-sided.

>>7391654
except for a couple of posts everyone's been happily ignoring OP and talking about Muramasa though

I've played about 150 eroge and nothing have yet to top Muramasa. Call me a fanboy if you want, but I don't think any eroge will surpass this any soon, if ever at all.

>Overall: 8/10

>>7391777
You know that 8/10 tells a lot about the game if even a moefag like Takajun likes it you know?

>>7391780
But Muramasa has a lot of moe!

>>7391791
It also has a lot of rape and depressing stuff, something which he isn't too fond of.

How the fuck did Narahara manage to cram in so many good characters without relying on same old archetypes for the most part? Bumping this thread past the spam.

Bumping to safety.

>>7392131
Muramasa, a story of dilemmas

>>7391270
>though not to the extent of Taoluo, of whom capacity to pull off ridiculous stunts starts approaching infinity as he nears death.
Not even just then, he was borderline flying during the car chase scene with the lolirobo with scythes.

Kikokugai - The Cyberslayer
Shadowrun, the VN.

It's funny that this game did moe better than any moege.

You know, I really wonder if Narahara is going to be able to write anything after Muramasa. It just feels like he put everything he could into it, making it his Magnum Opus. I want to read more of his VNs, but I don't want him to walk in circles.

/jp/, /jp/, autismically~

>>7395335
> It just feels like he put everything he could into it
Being the title for the 10th anniversary of Nitro+, I'd bet he also got a lot more time and budget than the average game.
I don't know, I like his style a lot but Hanachirasu wasn't exactly a mindblowing masterpiece. If if he were to write more games I sort of doubt they'd turn out that good.

Just starting Muramasa. Motherfucker, I was caught completely off guard when the scene where Minato kills Yuuhi rammed be like a train. I was hoping that the same fate wouldn't befall on the Emishi girls (they are so sweet ;_;), but of course N+ destroys that little wish. Is there a way to save them?
