/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Is he really a cherry, or is she just being a bitch to him?

About the lack of sprites in Muramasa: I actually like the way they did it there, partially because I don't like headswaps taking space on my HDD. It also allows for some cute super-deformed portraits, like Ichijou's orz. And, well, they did need to fit all those Tsurugi sprites, which require more varied poses to illustrate the fights.

I do pity the people who got portraits, but didn't get the sprites. The spy woman from Ichijou route doesn't even have it in the fanbook.

Close to the end of the sun route in Tenshi no Hane.
Honestly it wasn't very interesting, sure Arya, Hikaru and Sora were cute but I didn't really get into it.
Hopefully the moon side will be more interesting

Just d/l'd IroSekai.

Still can't read Japanese, but Kyou won't disappoint, right?.

>>7689942
If all you're going to look at is the cgs, sprites and how her voice sounds no, I guess she can't disappoint you.

>>7689750
Just finished Imouto Ijime, sucked.
Sengoku Rance, pretty nice, but ANNOYING fights.
Reading: Sekien no Inganock

Does /jp/ have some sort of VN recommended list like how /v/ has one for video games and /mu/ has several for different music genres?
I'm pretty interested in them but have only really touched a couple, super entry level ones like Ace Attorney and Saya no Uta.

>>7689931
not enough crazy kanji puns

>>7689988
Thanks.

>>7689979
Here you go. If you're looking for something that spoon feeds you individual games /a/ has charts for that.

>>7689979
We don't like lists, they reek of underage weeabooism.
Check vndb.org, read descriptions and try something that sounds nice.

There are a few list made by /a/ and /v/ though. But you can easily get them from those boards. Just create a thread there and ask for entry level stuff recommendations.

>>7689982
Too much ごきげんよう

After all the hype I decided to take a look at Grisaia but after reading a few reviews in egs it looks like it's unfinished or something.

I really hate unfinished stories, like Akogei or Seven Bridge that start really well but end up with really abrupt endings.
Does it happen in Grisaia?

>>7690024
There is no problems like akogei, the routes in grisaia are long, well developed and end well.

The problem Japan had with it was that they wanted a route for one very awesome character in particular.
I can understand I guess, she is a character with a lot of potential and a lot of thing about her are still mysterious.
If she had a route grisaia would probably be in the 90's in egs.

The character in question, for her personality basically take Ririko from Sharin no Kuni and makes her 10x more awesome.

>>7690110
Wrong pic

>>7690110
Sure wrong pic but what IS it? If it's an eroge with Precure outfits I'm sold.

>>7690150
It was an april fool from Type-Moon

Time to troll this thread.

What's wrong with it? I find it very useful.

>>7690309
Opinions of people who write it.

I was complaining about IMZ earlier, but after finishing it and trying to restart my VN progress I'm back to downloadin IMV.
I did find out that I'm actually capable of reading Muramasa now (I've had it downloaded for about half a year) so maybe I'll do that after getting bored with/finishing IMV.
I'll just check though...would Murumasa/Baldr */Muv Luv be enjoyable even if I think that mecha is the stupidest idea to come out of japan? I assume that's not all they have going for them

>>7690327
yeah you should enjoy them as they have lot else in them besides the mechas as their focus aren't really in them, but the story and characters, and the mechas are just tools the characters use to get their work done.

>>7690327
Muramasa is more flying magical power armors than walking robots. Baldr Sky's fights happen in a matrix-like internet and the shumicram are just digital weapons you can switch into, it fits the action gameplay nicely. Alternative is real mecha tried and true, but no, the fights are not all it has going for it.
Why do people keep lumping them together when they're nothing alike?

>>7690351
because all three sound silly
Although if the Baldr games have action gameplay then its fine - I just don't want to read about anime robot battles.

>>7690299
The green guy sounds like a true /jp/ realdealer.
>hurr anime game stories aren't realistic and gritty enough, too much ero which is holding back eroge, etc.

>>7690364
Green guys hates everything.

>>7690361
Alternative is real mecha, which means they mostly just shoot and cut at stuff like regular soldiers would, no lasers or finishing moves, just real bullets and tactics. And it's actually justified by the setting.
Muramasa has fighting with superpowers, but the action isn't all there is to it, and the armors fit the setting nicely anyways.

>>7690364
Yeah, and then you realize that in the same site where he said he dropped many good games he also gave shuffle 80 and stop giving a fuck about him.

>>7690361
95% of the mecha stuff in Baldr is in the action gameplay which is fast-paced fun. so you are not reading about mecha batlles but playing them yourself in it. Muv-Luv is more traditional in its mechas and it's about reading and seeing the mecha battles with some nice production values. Muramasa is about flying kendo with armors that have jetpack molded in them, so it isn't your typical mecha action you read in it.

>>7690374
I wouldn't give a fuck about real deal fans in the first place.

>>7690374
He's not strictly a realu dealu fan. He dropped Muramasa really fast citing how it "bored" him, but likes Flyable Heart for example.

Finally finished DearDrops... All in all I really liked it. Riho's ending was satisfying and I don't feel right comparing it to KiraKira.

Next is Majikoi I guess....

This thread is so bad when the discussion is all about the opinions of others (Moogy, greentext guy), which seems to happen pretty ften lately.
And who the fuck still uses 'realdeal' in 2011?

>>7690409
You're certainly not helping.

>>7690368
So basically he's /jp/?

>>7690299
those guys are complete shit alone for the fact that they ignore all delicious nukiges in their listing so they aren't even good at listing releases each month

I'm surprised that /jp/ keeps mentioning realdeal games and their fans, barely anyone seems to have played them on EGS.

Man, that fucking sick animation.

>This combat system was not fun back in the 80s when it was pioneered by the Ultima and Might and Magic series, and it is most certainly not fun now.

>>7690654
Should've read what he said about Daiteikoku. He hates the fanbase more than he hates the games.

Irotoridori no sekai is fucking long.
Also I don't usually say things like this but Mio really dresses like a prostitute.

>>7690299
Looking forward to Love-Bride Eve and Rance Quest. I'll probably wait to hear what you guys say about the rest before trying them out.

bump

I've been playing Nanoha route in Baldr Sky, and fuck is she annoying.
Can't wait to get to Chinatsu.

Should I play the other Baldr games before Sky?

>>7692343
Up to you. They are completely different series.

>>7692243
I personally found Nanoha endearing. I think her type of character is more aimed at white knights who want something to protect.

>>7689750
What game is this in OP's picture?

>>7690327
Good mecha isn't about the mecha in the same way Harry Potter wasn't good because of magic. Don't let appearances get in the way you enjoying 3 of the best VNs ever made.

Started playing HinataBokko thanks to the recommendation from the previous thread.
It's not bad.
Not bad at all.
Art is fine, with nice backgrounds and really cute uniforms, the girls are cute, the lolis are flat, and the reverse trap is trap enough to the point I thought she was just a guy with a girly voice until I checked the routes.
Hits all the right spots. Well, the imouto could be blood related, but they've been living together long enough for it not to bother me.
Got a question, though - I applied the 1.01 patch, and the translation was quite readable for a while, but then the retarded "time -> tI'me" editing fuck-up started showing up. Wasn't the patch supposed to fix at least that?

>>7692243
Nanoha is the best.

Playing through KimiNozo SFD, and oh god what the fuck, why is there a choice on 8/27 when the entire draw of this fandisc was to avoid that incident.

>>7692508
In case you wanted to relive the fun?

>>7692500
Man I fapped so hard to her rape scene. Then I felt terrible about it afterwards.

>>7692526
Rape scene? I must see this.

>>7692526
You should feel terrible man. I made sure to never see that scene.

>>7692528
If I remember correctly, you get it if you take too much time fighting when Gilterto (was that his name?) tries to kidnap Nanoha in Noi's base.

>>7692523
I may be a bit M, but not quite that much.

Just finished Steins;Gate
Some someone recommend me other similar time travelling VNs?
Already played Ever17,YU-NO & Cross Channel

>>7692536
I played her route doing everything right. Even during the final battle, if the final firewall ever got breached I'd start over because I didn't feel like I was doing a good enough job.

Right after the ending, I was feeling a bit sadistic (I mean, she's the one powerless girl that NEEDS protection right?) so I downloaded a full save for it.

Still feels bad but man was that fap awesome.

>>7692243
actually Chinatsu probably has worst route in the game due to her being such a bitch and Kou being faggot in that route. the final chapter and bad end makes up lot in that route tough, imo. and Chinatsu gets much better character development in Makotos route

and damn that Nanoha rape scene was hot, I agree. and makes you feel like shit after it.

>>7692591
Final battle with Chinatsu when the OP song starts playing sent shivers down my spine. Definitely one of the best fights in the game.

How long does Muv Luv extra take to read and what is the minimum of it that I should read?

>>7692671
10-20 hours. Meiya's route is all you really need to do if you're planning on moving to Unlimited right after.

>>7692772
>>7692671

I'd recommend doing Sumika's too. It'll take about 20 mins extra time and it makes sense for Alternative.

>>7692671
You should read them all of it if you plan on giving a shit about the characters.

In a VN with voices, do you guys wait for the voices to finish their lines or do you skip as soon as you've completely read a given line?

>>7692772
Sumika too bro, Alternative.

>>7692671
Do Sumika and Meiya. And Tama because it's funny. Do Ayamine and Class Rep if you like the characters, but they are the worst routes.

>>7692980
Well, he did ask for the minimum.
From my reading experience (reading only Meiya and Sumika's routes in Extra), Unlimited and Alternative gave plenty of screen time to all the characters for you to care about them.

>>7692987
Depends if I can skip to the next line without skipping voices. Usually I listen through though.

>>7692987
It depends. If the character is droning on and on about something that doesn't matter, I'd click as soon as I finish reading. If it's an important scene, I wait.

>>7692987
I usually skip except for important lines, ero lines, and occasional random lines that I want to hear, mostly cute ones.

Is teacher route in extra worth it? And why is there no porn of the purple haired one

>>7693001
It's not a route just an ero scene and then a bad end. So if you want to fap to her it's worth it.

Just finished Kyou in Clannad. I want to be pissed at Ryou, but then I get that Kyou was pushing her to go out with the guy she liked, and then Kyou decides she wants him too, and I say fuck it, Kyou was a bitch a too. She deserves melodrama. Ryou had every right to be a bitch, surprisingly.
If these were dudes there'd be some punching going on for going out with a bro's girl.

>>7693020
This is Fujibayashi Ryou:

-Uses her position as class representative to approach the main character.
-Cannot shuffle cards.
-Explains everything off as "maiden's inspiration."
-Even though she might not even be a virgin.
-When she tells your fortune with cards, everything turns out the exact opposite.
-Likes the same person her older sister likes.
-Consults her sister about this even though she knows her sister likes him.
-Uses her sister and manipulates her into playing cupid.
-Her cooking can be considered a harmful substance to mammals.
-Her fashion sense is bad.
-Makes the main character go to her favorite shio tonkotsu ramen place instead of

her sister's tonkatsu.
-When she realizes that she has lost, she quickly plays good and tries to help her

sister.
-She will suddenly drop her feelings for the first guy and start going out with

someone she has only met once in the past.
-Even though they hadn't discussed having children yet, she pretends to be pregnant

and tricks her boyfriend.
-She may have the popular knee socks attribute, but so does her sister.
-She doesn't move around enough anyway, so there aren't many chances for her knee

socks to be seen.
-Getting with her is actually technically a BAD END; this is a message from the

creators saying "don't go out with just anyone."

Nice Bitch.

>>7693041
>BAD END
But there's credits.

Also >this is a message from the creators saying "don't go out with just anyone."
Maeda can't into socializing.

>>7693020
It was the other way around. Ryou knew that her sister liked Tomoya but still told her that he liked him one day when they were bathing together. Kyou, being as perfect and benevolent as she is, shelves her own feelings to her baby sister.

Also, read >>7693041

>>7693058
I know that Ryou is a bitch. Kyou happens to be an idiot too. Surprisingly Ryou seized the chance. Kyou either speaks clearly or backs off completely.

Hell, I found the Ryou end much happier. Guy comes to like girl by actually getting to know her and going out with her with 100% less melodrama. The secret of the orbs isn't happiness, it's melodrama.

I'm about to get start on playing Caucasus. Would someone in /jp/ be willing to provide a quick impression of it (system, characters, writing)?
I remembered seeing Caucasus threads on /jp/ some times ago, but unfortunately I missed them.

>>7693078
>>7693058
>>7693046
>>7693041
>>7693020

Oh god not this shit again. Kyou's route was the worst. So much unnecessary melodrama. Kyoto was genius for not including her route in the anime.

>>7692591
I disagree, I quite enjoyed Chinatsu and her route.

>>7693212
It's too bad really. Kyou is the only good heroine in Clannad, and her route is such shit.

>>7693212

As much as I love Kyou I'm inclined to agree. Even that girl nobody ever mentions (the tea room? one) had a better route.

>>7693220
Yukine

I liked her. They completely messed up the arc in AS anime, but at least it had a manly fight.

>>7693239
I figured that's what her route was originally intended to be since it was cut short.

>>7693191
There's this. http://accany.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/クロウカシス-七憑キノ贄-review/

I'm one for Tomoyo and Misae myself.

Also loved Yukine.

>>7693257
are you me?

Fucking hated Kyou/Ryou.

They made what could've been a sweet route of an extremely shy girl trying her best into a short bad end and then the sister route is full of melodrama and suddenly the first sister is a huge bitch despite no prior foreshadowing or anything.

>>7693267
No. And it's not a coincidence that our tastes agree. Clearly, those are simply the best characters.

What's that upcoming strategy eroge featuring a bunch of historical figures as sexable girls? I'm trying to show it to a friend but I can't remember the name or website to save my life

>>7693277
Eiyuu Senki.

>>7693288
You make me sad.

Rance Quest looks like dungeon crawler + Dragon Quest. I was pleased when I played the demo to find that, seemingly, regardless of the new design the battle system plays like dungeons in Sengoku, but...

I can't really get into it. One part I really enjoyed about Sengoku was playing the role of a ruthless and able conqueror, the defiance of social and ethical norms. For a large part, that's what Rance himself is about too. Like, seeing a country full of hot shrine maidens and arbitrarily deciding to make all of them your bitch. Generations of alliance, powerful foes and demons, fuck them, you can make those your bitch too. That atmospheric element, not just vanquishing the dungeon but making japan itself into a play thing, comprised a large portion of my experience.

I'm really skeptical of letting the nation/world/universe wide tactics go for this title. Expectations? Minimal.

>>7693299
But wasn't Sengoku Rance the exception to the rule? Most Rance games aren't like that I don't think.

>>7693306
Yes absolutely. I say this in recognition of that as well. The change was for the better I thought, though tradition and so on is equally legitimate. The game is of course valid and justified for being the way it is, there's a competent amount of reason for it being the way it is.

On the other hand, now that I've had the Sengoku experience, I'm totally spoiled by it. If it isn't broke, don't fix it, in regards to the new design.

>>7689750
what vn is this pic from?

>>7693332
Some game by Light.

>>7693318
Sengoku Rance's engine is about 90% from Daiakuji/Daibanchou, only vastly simplified. The Dai series was assumably where they wanted to focus the SLG stuff with Rance/TT being the RPG stuff. Leaving aside Daiteikoku being a nearly half-decade long disaster at any rate.

What are you people doing on my /jp/? You don't even post or read other threads on /jp/, all you do is post in this crappy thread acting like VNs are the only thing in this god forsaken place. You're all fucking outsiders and not true /jp/ers, please leave.

>>7693425
>What are you people doing on my /jp/?
Making you mad with my sole existence

um, guys, i just read 999 and i don't get something. thought /jp/ could explain.

who the heck killed everyone in submarine ending? Alice? Snake? because everone else i can think of was dead. can anyone enlighten?

>>7693557
Same person that kicked the can.

>>7693557
It's been a long time but if I remember right, one of them is faking because the MC doesn't check everyone.

>>7693592
so... everyone started stabbing themselves in the back because Blick Winkel expected them to get stabbed in the back...?

>>7693617
but assuming it's Ace, because thet's the only logical conclusion, why would he kill everyone? i mean, he only really needed Snake and Clover, and possibly Seven but he couldn't know that. unless he figured that everyone must know which is kinda ridiculous IMO.

What Doujin releases are worth caring about this year? Besides Kaeru possibly getting a release within 2011 (if you hadn't noticed, Circle Tempo did a major update to the whole site) and World End Economica?

On that note, what eroge are worth looking out for this year? Going down the list all I see is Rance Quest and KKK.and the, albeit unlikely, possible release of Mahou Tsukai no Yoru.

>>7693425
0/10

>>7694651
I'm mostly looking forward to Rance Quest, the new raiL-soft, Kaeru and the Twinkle Crusader x Princess Witches crossover.
KKK could be good but I won't place any hope in it since Light disappoint 90% of the time

>>7694651
not much eroges left this year that I'm looking foward to. most now probably looking foward to VB-Abyss- and few different nukiges, nothing else doesn't really interest me thats announced, altough there always might come something that I suddenly gain some interest in.

>>7694651
Monmusu Quest pt. 2

>>7694714

VN General HAHA!

>>7693191
Yeah I played it. I thought it's a letdown after KnS but it too has a pretty great climax in the true end and nice G-senjou like ending. I hated the time limitations everywhere though, whoever thought it's a good idea needs to be shot.
Benio and the tall meido were the best characters.

>>7694651
>what eroge are worth looking out for this year?

Mostly this. Maybe 末期、少女病, Mahoyo and Kimiita assuming any of them are coming out this year (yeah right). New etude seems to have one decent writer working on it so perhaps that one as well.

>>7695064
>Kimiita
Not if they don't nearly completely remake and expand the fuck out of the story, it isn't.
"Durr durr No Misaki I can't love you because I love my lesbian stalker rapist but I actually don't."

So anyone finished Irotoridori or Tenshi no Hane yet?

>>7695091
As I understand the "remake" is largery rewritten.

>>7693332
>>7693336
I don't suppose anyone knows the actual title?
I'm mainly asking because those Furigana caught my interest.

>>7695133
It's Vermilion. The furigana is just there to explain what "cherry" means, it's not a game for japanese beginners if that's what you're hoping for, the text gets pretty complicated.

>>7695150
Thank you, and yes - that was indeed what I was hoping for.
Guess I'll just go back to my Moege and harem shenanigans for now.

>>7695116
Well, that's good to hear.
Was going to download it at the very least being as big of an age fan as I am, but this gives me a bit of hope.

What were the best selling VNs?

>>7695240
On PC in the last 10 year? FSN and Air
Overall? The 90's were full of big selling titles, the Sakura Taisen, Doukyuusei or Pia Carrot and others all sold much more than anything released these days.

Anyone know where I could find a simplified version of the Baldr Sky Dive1 walkthrough? As opposed to reading eight paragraphs to find the correct decision point?

>>7695369
the springfield one is the easiest one, it has the recommended route order and just the choices you need to do for each ending
it was posted the last thread or the one before that
the baldr wiki is more complete but this also means it's hard as fuck to extrapolate the info you need quickly

>>7695389
Recommended route order for Baldr Sky...?

>>7695389
Found it. Thank you.

>>7695406
Well, for example that guy suggests to do Rain bad -> Nanoha bad -> Rain good, and it actually made sense because that way you go back to Rain's route and realize you killed Nanoha when smashing the Tranquilizer goo thing.. But yeah, for the other routes it's not that important since the order is basically compulsory.

>>7695406
Well, for example that guy suggests to do Rain bad -> Nanoha bad -> Rain good, and it actually made sense because that way you go back to Rain's route and realize first-hand you killed Nanoha when smashing the Assembler. But yeah, for the other routes it's not that important since the order is basically compulsory.

Frontwing will announce a new game in 4 days.
Hoping for a FD for Grisaia

>>7695593
Go go Kazuki, biggest cocktease in the whole game.

So yeah, I started playing this and have already done Kurugaya and Rin's route and I gotta ask one question- is every end to this game this fucking inconclusive?

For Kurugaya route there was some shit about how the whole world would not allow Riki and Kurugaya be together and everyone began losing their memories, repeating, snowing in July, etc. until finally the main character (and Kurugaya?) forgets each other (actually I think it's implied that Riki was the one messaging Kurugaya in the end just that she had no idea who she was but whatever). So yeah, just complete nonsense.

Meanwhile Rin's end is Riki collapsing right after class with the narration saying I've done well getting this far. In other words, more nonsense.

TL;DR WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

>>7695683
Rin's true route can only be accessed after finishing all the other routes, what you saw was a bad end.
And about Kurugaya's route, everything will be explained in the last route.

>>7695683
Oh yeah, another thing is that I'm really surprised how short the routes are. Is this game actually really short? I came in expecting CLANNAD 300 HOURS OF TEXT but am getting absurdly short routes and spending hours trying to get minigames perfect.

>>7695692
Routes are 4-5 hours long, save for refrain and Saya's in EX.
Most of the game is common route and true routes.

>>7695688
>Rin's true route can only be accessed after finishing all the other routes, what you saw was a bad end.
Oh, is this Rin2 or Refrain? I heard both of those aren't translated.

>And about Kurugaya's route, everything will be explained in the last route.
Oh, okay.

>>7695683
Do Komari's and Haruka's, those are normal routes without anything too weird.

>>7695700
Rin2 is Rin's actual route instead of just stopping.
Refrain explains everything.

Finished my first route in 天使の羽を踏まないでっ
Arya was damn cute, she was the true main heroine of that route in my mind.
Too bad she has no true ero scene

>>7695692
Rin1 is a bad end so yea it's going to be short. LB on it's own is shorter than Clannad, while Little Busters EX is slightly longer.

>>7695389
Do you have a link?

>>7695718
http://www.geocities.jp/thespreingfield/game/bsd1.html

Finished Nanoha's bad end in Baldr Sky.
That was sort of unexpected.
Noi rape is hot.

>>7696506
There are two bad ends, see them both.
Also the rape scene changes according to how much time you take in that level, it can also include Nanoha being double penetrated.

What's the optimal way of doing Unlimited if I want to read Alt fast without missing much? Do i have to do a 100% clear?

>>7696966
Unlimited plays basically the same for all heroines except for a couple of scenes at the end. One run is probably enough if you just want to get on with it (unless you like some other character you might want to do Meiya's since it's the end one of the manga continues from, and makes some scenes in Alternative all the more powerful).

>>7696971
I see thanks.

material brave

Only the grand route left in Tenshi no Hane.
So far the game is good but not great, I wasn't bored but I wasn't impressed either.
What made Itsusora and Asairo was the characters (and not the kanji puns or whatever).
You had characters like Konome, Mememe, Hiyo, Harutsuge, Araragi.
All awesome characters who got a lot of believable development.

In Tenshi no Hane the characters pale in comparison, sure Sora, Hanene or Hikaru are cute but that's all.

Also the protagonist Ayame is far FAR too perfect, to the point where he almost feels gary stue-ish
Sure Sasamaru in Asairo was also nice to a fault but he was also quirky and unique, Ayame is really nice, trustworthy, has max stats in every areas, it's just too much.

Oh well I hope the grand route will deliver.

>>7697065
Ayame is delicious so it's alright.
THAT voice, I can fap to it

I really want to like this game but it's boring me to death

>>7697539
Many 90+ reviews from only one vote users on EGS, isn't it great Favorite's devs dark scheme to conquer eroge market!

>>7697539
same here ╮(￣ー￣)╭
Shinku route might well be amazing but going through 4 routes of boredom and flashbacks everywhere is not what I'd call good buildup
the great setting is also literally shifted in the background; the main character and the heroine go through four vastly different worlds, two of which get described in under two lines to get quickly back to FLASHBACKS

Yeah these 1 vote users really plague egs.
That's why you wait at least a month before looking at the ratings, usually it's more trustworthy by then.

I started playing Kamidori.
Got raped in the 2nd stage of the forest by the fucking shinigami that landed just on Will the first two times.
Also I still haven't even sold a potion, I hope Emilitta helps here.

I had similar feelings, but Shinku route was godly so I forgive them that hours of boredom.

>>7697551
And many 90+ reviews from users with many votes, can't you see anything besides what you want to?

>>7697568
don't worry too much not selling anything in early game, even with Emilitta as shopkeepre you are lucky to sell one item once in 20 days. it starts to get noticeably easier to sell stuff around ch4 and in the end game you pretty much can sell your whole shop in flash

>>7697586
So are the routes wroth going through or you miss much just going directly to hers?

>>7697586
Does every routes have to be played or can I just jump to Shinku's route after only doing Mio?

>>7697588
Good to know, because I need to get this super special and really expensive sake by chapter 6? for Kohakuren, and it's depressing seeing how I never sell anything.
Thoughu it's more depressing when I forget to confirm what items I put on sale.
Both wikias in eng/jp adn the threads in easymodo help a lot too.

>>7697568
> landed just on Will
the shinigami moves through teleport, she isn't "just landing" on him, she can attack and go back to where she was regardless of walls. Check her range and act accordingly.

>>7697599
Though it seems I'll manage to sell a shield in about three days, so great.

>>7697593
You have to play all four (mio, tsukasa, kana and kyou). Mio and Kana are the "crunch", the other two feel less important.

>>7697590
>>7697611
Actually 4 routes and Shinku route are quite disconnected, you'll miss only few little details about sub-characters if you won't play Kana route and rest you can skip without losing anything.

>>7697626
That's a good news.
I guess I'll ctrl through them.

>>7697599
you get enough of money from quests nicely along the way so when you can buy that sake for her you usually have enough of money. also Kohukuren is the best character in the game

>>7697626
Are all routes as long as Kana's? It felt something like eternal.

>>7697670
Kana is longest one. Took me 6 hours to finish her, while Mio 5h, Kyo 3h and Tsukasa 2h.

>>7697679
got it, thanks

Finished Tenshi no Hane.
Well in the end it's a solid 8/10 I guess.
A bit disappointing since I expected more but it wasn't bad.
The story and characters felt surprisingly shallow compared to the previous Shumon titles but I guess he decided to make Tenshi no Hane more accessible to the masses.

Oh well time to start Irotoridori no Sekai.

>>7697692
Ayame should have been a girl.
He is so perfect at it that the whole trap setting just feels useless.

I apologize for asking this but I need some easy VNs to practice Japanese on, nothing too complicated.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

still downloading tenshi no hane. meanwhile I picked up fortune arterial again and finished it.

I'm already stressed for the next semester so moe games is really what interest me now. Erika normal route is more interesting than her true route, how sad.

>>7697718
Axanael, Flyable Heart, Hoshizora no Memoria
And check archive next time.

>>7697718
try mashiiro symphony. it's really simple but nonetheless very cute.

THIS BITCH
THIS FUCKING BITCH

Never hated a fictional character so much before

>>7697765
Who is this?

I was trying to play Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but I keep getting errors when I try to play. So, I've given up. Any other good VNs that are translated?

>>7697765
Oh yeah, the fucking bitch.
If the bad end wasn't so utterly horrible I'd call it true end.

>>7697895
Makina's mother from Grisaia.
MOTHER OF THE YEAR all years

Started with Vermillion today. As someone who likes Vampire-themed stories I can't help but be in love with the setting already. The writing is also pretty good so far, even though the narrative jumps around a lot at the beginning.
And there really need to be more VNs that are set in American or European cities, this is seriously refreshing for some reason.

Bump

I know Nekoneko isn't exactly famous for being good, but is there any must play titles from them?

>>7698239
Is it like Twilight? That would be the best VN ever..

What's the game in the OP's picture? Nobody's answered it.

>>7699430
Vermilion -Bind of Blood-

Okay, I'm now several hours into Muv-Luv Extra. I'm hoping it gets better, as it's pretty terrible so far. Alternative had better be worth it.

>>7699516
You probably won't be enjoying the rest very much if that's how you feel now.

I'm facing a dilemma between Tenshi Ranman and Noble Works. I know Noble Works is one of the best game in 2010 and is a famous charage and all, but Tenshi Ranman seems really good also.
Any suggestions?

>>7699516
I hated Extra all the way through, but then after finishing Alternative I wanted to go back and do the other routes.

>>7699578
Look at design of characters, eventually read their introduction on home page and decide based on that, both are at the same level in terms of plot, music, graphic. If anything, Noble Works have slightly better writing but that's all.

Though imo both were terrible boring.

>>7699516
If you don't know what's coming, then you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

Last VN I finished was Muv-Luv Alternative and I'm disappointed with it compared to Unlimited. I feel like the dialogue really deteriorated towards the end with the 'personal reason for fighting' shit, but throughout most of the rest of the vn I was pretty fascinated.

Playing Sharin no Kuni now. Just finished Sachi's route and I liked it a lot, though I got pretty sick of her shit during the last part.

>>7699609
That's what I was hoping to hear. As long as Alternative is as good as everyone says, I'm willing to slog through Extra. I mean, if I got through Shuffle, I'm pretty sure I can get through most anything.

>>7698848
They were famous for being good before bankrupting.

Anyway Sanarara and Scarlett are their best titles. Then there's Mizuiro, must play for every moege fan.

I just dropped/deleted the most frustrating VN ever. I've forgotten the title, but it no matter what choice I make I get a bad end (usually involving me either getting raped and killed, or my childhood friend getting tied up and repeatedly impregnated). I've reloaded and tried just about every choice possible, but I get a bad ending every time. Horrible game.

The only good scene is when some school bully chicks raped me and tied a string around my cock to keep me from coming,

>>7699754
Yeah, gonna need a title here.

>>7699754
Why don't you get some friends, try to get laid, do something besides going on 4chan to try and act like a pretentious shitdick. If you had anybody in your life who actually wanted to listen to what you had to say you wouldn't be doing this, and if you weren't a complete piece of shit you would realize that nobody is going to read your point of view you faggot. Just stop or kill yourself, either or is fine with me

>>7699771
I WANT to say that it had Kuro/Black in the title. I don;t know for sure, thoguh, because I ragequit and deleted every trace of it from my comp.

I felt the need to post here because I finally worked up the will to get back into Visual Novels after a bad experience with Drug that makes you dream so I picked up Ever17 because of how highly everyone talks about it.

Just finished my first playthough, got a bad end and its the first VN I actually want to explore by myself instead of running to a walkthrough. So much shit that wasn't cleared up. I haven't felt this excited about anything since Madoka last season.

It's such a great feeling. I hope all of you are enjoying your expert-level titles as much as I'm enjoying this entry one.

>>7699815
Shit gets real in the very last route. What route/girl were you trying to get?

>>7699815
>madoka
>watches mainstream /a/ garbage

>>7699830
Don't give a shit at the moment. I'll just blind fire and see if that gets me anywhere. Hopefully I'll actually get someone instead of running out of patience and googling a guide.

>>7699853
It was enjoyable.
I regret nothing.

>>7699815
>I haven't felt this excited about anything since Madoka last season.
Please don't bring this troll shit here. Keep it to /a/ or whatever.

>>7699862
The irony.

>>7698848
Scarlett and Giniro are great.

>>7699815
there are like less than 10 quality translated vns. it won't be long until you're a /jp/ otaku neet Real Deal lover yourself.

Are there any good VNs where the protagonist has memory loss? I like the setting where the protag doesn't remember any one, but people that know him (family, friends, etc) don't know he has memory loss.

That feel when none of the Atelier Kaguya main teams probably don't work on developing any new games now as none of them has any games announced presently, and the only games AK has in development are unsatisfying lowprice shortgames.

>>7699953
ever17, Kid has lost memories

>>7700020
I'm thinking more charage though.

>>7699954
>*probably none of the Atelier Kaguya main teams work on developing
>>7699953
Carnival, Promia, Phantom, Mindead Blood, Evolimit, etc etc.
See http://vndb.org/g152?fil=olang-ja .

>>7699954
It's been a week since their last release, give them a break. And not announced doesn't mean not in development.

>>7700063
Well, all their teams released something relatively recently already. Going by their past, Honky Tonk Pumpkin might release something by late fall or early winter, but no idea about Berkshire Yorkshire since their release schedule went really irregular after 2009 (choco chip leaving presumably?), which leaves us with Heartbeat who indeed just released a game a week ago, so I reckon they likely don't develop anything new already.
Here's hoping that they might get a new Happoubi Jin game with their P-ch division out this year.

Baldr Sky Dive2.

Anything carry over from one? Or should I move right on ahead instead of getting 100% plug-in completion?

>>7699754
I'm intrigued, please try to remember

>>7700139
Did you install it before finishing Dive1? Because if you haven't you're in for a minor pain; plug-ins carry over, points and read text don't, so you'll have to reread the common stuff again.

>>7700170
No I didn't. Fortunately, I read this while reading Chizuru's ending. Thanks for the tip.

>>7699953
Remember11, sort of.

one of the heroines in Mebae is not virgin, shitstorms incoming w

Such an out of character figure

>>7700596

>>7700893
Yes it is

I want this

Few hours into playing Tsukutori, it's quite interesting and enjoyable so far, though I wish it wouldn't be so ugly to look at.
What did others who've read it think of it?

>>7700945
I liked it quite a lot myself, probably my favorite ruf eroge.
The second route with the sisters was my favorite

Enjoy it, it's a great game

The new Bishop nukige is out on Share

>>7700866
Indeed. Fuck this fanservice shit, I want my Ichijou figure in an ass-kicking pose, like a SEIGI NO MIKATURR that she is!

>>7700897
>>7700903
Still hoping that these will be sold at their store after the event.

Has anyone played Shikigami?

>>7701027
fuck yeah, downloading at the speed of cumming

http://www.nitrochiral.com/game/dmmd/
New Nitro Chiral site finally got an update, release date slated for February 24th. Seems like we won't get any great Nitroplus releases this year, but will get lots of them in Winter.

>>7701134
I like the cloth design, though Lamento's artist could give them some chins, they ave more than enough to spare.
The plot looks interesting too.

Currently playing Dai Teikoku. Amazing game, extremely addictive.

Waiting for Sonicomi, which was delayed one month. Trial ver is fun but way too short. Cant wait for the full product with all the clothes, accessories and locations available.

>>7701177
>Amazing game, extremely addictive.

Bump

Only newfags hate kamige like Clannad

So how was this month's releases?
And did anyone try Shikigami yet?

>>7701631
Shikigami's okay. It's a little too easy for an SLG and there's not much variety to it. Story doesn't make a ton of sense either.

I think that Clannad is a god tier.
Oh, wait. I forgot that faggots on the internet actually care about opinions.
Here, I'll turn that statement into a fact so you have to disprove it.
Clannad IS god tier.

>>7701697
Clannad is shit. Zun!bar agreed.

>>7701631
From what I've played, Ikikoi isn't a bad bakage but it's nothing really worth reading, and for tsundere lovers only.
Tenshi no Hane is good but not great, I expected much better myself but it's a tier below what I would consider the best of the year.

And for IroSekai I'm currently reading, it has a great setting, and mood, the characters aren't bad too but so far it's been a whole lot of nothing. Currently in Kanna's route and I really hope Shinku's route is as god tier as they say.

>>7701715
>so far it's been a whole lot of nothing
all four routes are like that and it doesn't get that much better (I thought Mio route was kinda decent even if I didn't like the heroine that much, and Kyou is interesting but her route is pretty bad)
I went through them because I never skip shit but you might not have qualms about downloading saves so just throwing that out there

>clannaids
>kamige
haha oh wow

>>7701801
>clannaids
Just say dragon balls end and we can send you back to /a/.

>>7701809
huh clannaids is shit admit it

it is a rip off of dragon balls and YUNO

>>7701818
Er. How. Besides similarities in the protagonist?

>>7702104
You don't need to humor him.

>>7692480
And finished HinataBokko.
Common route was enjoyable.
Heroine "routes" were a fucking joke. Ridiculously short, with ridiculously little buildup. And the ero was quite fucking bad and horribly cliched, even for eroge standards(with the exception of Shizuma's, which was passable).
By the way, don't bother reading this with the MG translation if you don't understand at least some spoken Japanese - the translation in latter parts is hilariously bad to the point where it makes no fucking sense whatsoever. And that is AFTER applying the patch.
Though translating bloomers as "Bulma" made me laugh a bit, I admit.
I still 100%ed it, since I wanted some slice of life and liked about half the girls, also because the game is so short - though VNDB lists it as 10-30 hours, the only way you'd go past 10 would be if you re-read the common route every time.
But yeah, it's shit.

playing: monmusu quest
expecting:lets meow meow
just finished: shuffle

On Chinatsu's route now.
Other than some minor changes to the introduction, are there any changes to the first four chapters of the route?
I don't really want to check every line of text to see if I've read it before.

>>7702568
Oh, Baldr Sky by the way.

>>7702568
Can't you just skip already read text?

>>7702696
Well, it's a different route, so it's not registered as read. It's all the same so far though.

Mother of god. I finally finished the first two routes, Kanae's and Ichijou's, in Muramasa. This... thing, it's just amazing, and I hear that Muramasa's route along with Chachamaru's end are even better.

For the routes that I've read, even though I like Kanae better, Ichijou's route was slightly better than the former: that fucking battle between Kageaki and Hikari near the end, and THAT NAKED KAGEAKI with the fortified fist. I couldn't help myself but to yell "MACROSS ATTACK!". Grown up Ichijou also looks smoking hot.

So far, the writing's great, and the VN really is funny during the comedy parts. The visuals are just great, and the music, can't forget about that.


So there's my disorganized ramble about Muramasa. Onward with the remaining ends, and I think I'm gonna read Grisaia before reading Janen-han to cool off from Muramasa for a bit.

>>7700141
>>7699771
Yeah, I just remembered the title of the schoolgirl reverse-rape VN. It's Discipline. I kept remembering Kuro/Black because it's the sequel to Bible Black.

>>7702696
Wait, on most VNs there is a feature that allows you to skip already read text? I always thought you had to do it manually.

>>7702831
Most have decent VNs, if you click the skip button, it will skip only already read text. If you hold control, it usually just skips everything. Obviously varies between VNs but yea.

>>7702831
Depends on the engine, but nowadays there really is no excuse to not have an option like that.

>>7702831
What the fuck ancient VNs do you play? I think it's harder to find a game that DOESN'T have a skip read text feature these days.

How long does Kara no Shoujo take to play?

>>7702985
Depends whether you use the walkthrough or not. I'd say somewhere between 10 - 15 hours.

>>7702767
Enjoy one of the finest eroge ever made, you won't experience anything like that in a long while so cherish it

I'm going through Clannad at the moment. All of the routes sort of suck. I'm wondering if Nagisa's will really be worth it. Some of the comedy is good but most of the drama so far has just been completely retarded. And I liked Kanon so I think it's a Clannad specific thing.

I played Majikoi. Majikoi was awful. But I can read it while extremely fucked up and not feel I am doing it a disservice.

I want Yuno. Badly. I considered reading it with Atlas but everyone said to be respectful. Plus Spin will eventually finish it. I believe this month might even be possible.

I'm thinking of checking out that monster girl rape game. But it sounds plotless and I want something with a fucking awesome plot.

I want Re-write really badly as well. I would pay good money to see that translated. And I have good money because I have been balls deep in work.

>>7703223
I like Kanon too but don't like Clannad very much. Though maybe you'll enjoy the rest more than I did.

>>7703232
Who's "we"? You're the only one who's been posting that.

>>7703223
>I'm going through Clannad at the moment. All of the routes sort of suck. I'm wondering if Nagisa's will really be worth it. Some of the comedy is good but most of the drama so far has just been completely retarded.
well we did tell you that clannaids sucks. people say clannad is a kamige have never read a kamige

majikoi ftw

>>7703243

I want to bludgeon you. I also want to bludeon Yandergay for translating this piece of shit.

It's terrible. The premise... is god awful. It's like re-living my thirteen year old fantasies and seeing how stupid and ridiculous they are.

When a girl talking to her keychain is a central plot point, you know that you are going to be watching some really retarded shit.

It went full retard. It is the Simple Jack of VNs

>>7703235
2 other guys have been posting it in this thread actually and look even sakura says it sucks

>>7702104
daughter saves his ass, wife dies etc etc.. if clannaids had porn it probably would have had incest too

>>7703254
>sakura says it sucks
That's nothing out of the ordinary.

>>7703254
I don't think it sucks. I think it is good, but I just personally don't like it. It's not for me.

>>7703256
You little fuck-face, aren't you the same guy who also reads Naruto and posts in Index threads? I don't think you have much say on calling things "full retard" or not, at least not before you unfuck your own tastes first.

>>7703315
>implying naruto is bad
>implying it's not better than 95% of VNs

>>7703333
Holy shit get the fuck out

>>7703333
You oughta try better than that, son. Both for trolling or comedy purposes.

>>7703315
You are mad because I pointed out the obvious deficiencies in Index.

1) There is no plot progression. It's just introducing new girls every book and ending with a near return to status quo. Isn't it so convenient that Touma doesn't remember anything that would force narrative progression?

2) Naruto, at least the first series minus filler, is probably better than 95% of VNs. That's because 95% of VNs are mindless sex romps and don't even really deserve to be called VNs.

However, the community of /jp/ generally doesn't discuss these, or if they do like things like Water Closet, etc, they acknowledge that they lack artistic or dramatic merit. Majikoi is probably around Index level in quality. Naruto, as a whole (still minus filler), is probably a bit less. But all of them do not compare to things like Swan Song, Cross Channel, Higurashi, Umineko, ML:A, Saya no Uta, or even YMK, in terms of merit.

>>7703417
>>>/a/

>>7703417
Can you read japanese?

>>7703417
Get the fuck out, Jesus Christ. Which one of you guys invited this retard over?

>>7703417
I probably mistook you for someone else, as I thought you were defending Index, which I also acknowledge as a complete piece of shit. But really,
>Naruto, at least the first series minus filler, is probably better than 95% of VNs

You need to go back to /a/ and stay there, please.

>>7703417
>Naruto, at least the first series minus filler, is probably better than 95% of VNs. That's because 95% of VNs are mindless sex romps and don't even really deserve to be called VNs.

Have you played Bible Black? Soul Link? Water Closet? Three Sisters Story?

Most of what is produced is basically porn or horrible hashed together trash cliches.

The few awesome VNs that do make it to the top are amazing. The others are DEFINITELY worse than Naruto.

>>7703464
You need to stop thinking that what few VNs are translated make a good representation of VNs in general.

why do these threads always turn to shit lately

>>7703483
Because people who only read translated VNs are coming into it.

>>7703464
Come from someone who think Umineko is the best VN ever.

Looks like we need a new thread
