I stopped reading translated VNs.
I started learning Japanese.

I stopped playing VNs.
I started making my own.

全員が普通のゲームの個別ルートと同じくらいのボリュームがあります！

>>7716675
so it's like 5-6 games volume? holy fucking shit

>>7716675
I see my beloved routeless character there.
I also see Nyanmel, so cute ;_;

>>7716684
That just meant they won't have short scenarios but actually long routes.
Doesn't mean that one route will be as long as several games.

Just finished The Maiden Rape Assault - Violent Semen Inferno. Thanks for always recommending it, /jp/. It's a masterpiece.

I've been grinding Baldr Sky for the past week since the gameplay is so impossibly good. Unfortunately, this has come at the expense of playing Dies Irae, Muramasa, and Oretsuba. So I'm probably going to take a break after completing one.

In the mean time, I'm wrapping up Nanoha read: Sensei's route. Chapter 12 now. Then I'm going to go through 3 new game pluses for her other endings.

im going to play shin ringetsu

should i play ringetsu first?

>>7717265
You really like grinding. I really couldn't be arsed to repeat the whole ting just to have her endings in the same save.

>>7717265
hey another person who liked the gameplay as much as me, cheers

>>7717277
No.
Shin is an updated version no point in playing the original.

>>7717306
ok thanks

i thought its something like shakkin shimai

Famicom Tantei Club Part II zenpen
Monmusu Quest!

I hope there is an ero scene with both of michiru's personalities active.[/spolier]

I hope there is an ero scene with both of michiru's personalities active.

>>7716675
I hope there is an ero scene with both of michiru's personalities active.

Can someone tell me if the other routes are as bad as Chidzuru's?
This was fucking horrible... The protagonist is a full blown retard and nothing really caught my attention about the plot. Also, what the hell man, who thought putting long ending songs which you can't even skip at the end of EACH bad ending was a good idea? It was simply frustrating.

>>7716640
Who the fuck is that girl?

I have a fetish for white hair girls, and god those eyes with that hair... holy shit

>>7717805
Mea from Hoshimemo.

>>7717805
that artist must have a fetish for yellow eyes, half the cast of irotoridori had yellow eyes

>>7717817
Don't you mean Mare?

>>7717265
I've been playing Baldr Sky too.
Chinatsu's route, and Fenrir is pretty fucking cool.
It's fun to try to come up with combos using only unmaxed weapons.

>>7716647
Even though I consider myself to be at a decent enough level, I still don't mind reading translations. If I wanted to read a VN and a translation came out, then I'd read the translation. I supposed I just like the localized spin some translators add to the text. Hell, I even prefer to read Haruki Murakami novels in English.

>>7717871
That's not very Moogy-like.

>>7717871
I actually find translations a good way to re read VNs.
Not to mention some translation also include ports from other consoles with content that may be unavalibale.

>>7717871
I don't think I can read translated VNs any more after reading them in Japanese. They're just so bad.

I wish I could forgot Baldr Sky and play it a fresh again, also my desire to replay it has rissen pretty badly lately, hopefully I can keep myself in check.

on otherhand finished ch4 of Muramasa, that's some gooood stuff. it's well on the way on my top5 VNs of all-time list if it keeps going like this. and dang I love Sorimachi that sleazy bastard and his personality

>>7717905
It gets better

>>7716667
>http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=705110
why are the girls are ninja turtle themed

>>7717905
That fucking scene indeed. I was pretty much drowsing off a little bit while reading the fight until Kageaki snapped all of a sudden. And yeah, Sorimachi is one of my favourite characters of all time. What do you think of the GHQ guy and his antics?

>and dang I love Sorimachi that sleazy bastard and his personality
More eroge need characters like this.

Amane is so beautiful

The dialogue between those two during their duel must be one of my all time favorite scenes. Of course, Sorimachi almost beating a shinuchi with a mass produced shitstain helped in making it memorable

>>7717984
they are fine and do entertain me, but nothing too special for me yet tough, need to see more of them

Fully finished KimiNozo SFD after noticing that there was a bonus segment unlocked after clearing all the routes in te main segment.
That bonus segment was... wacky to say the least.

I finally started reading muramasa again, I don't know how many times I've stopped for the little part I've read.
Chapter 3 is actually interesting and it can be even funny, thank god, because chapter 2 bored me inmensely for the most part.

THIS STORY.
My sides...!

Patiently waiting for 3Days to get translated, and learning moonrunes in the meantime. That way when I'm done, and 3Days is done, I can read it and possibly help others translate different VN's.

How do I get Nanoha's gang rape bad end. The walkthrough says: Dead（引継ぎ可能）→12章菜ノ葉陵辱イベント進行に時間をかけすぎる（6段階目）. But I'm not getting the 6th wave of enemies at all.
To jog anyone who's played the game's memory:
The first wave is in the library. The second is when Gilbert and co. threaten to torture Noi and Nanoha. The 3rd is right before the decision point where you can see the CG with Noi taking the hit for Nanoha.

The 4rh is where I'm having trouble. I'll wait until the "Shrine Maiden" tells you that you're out of time, kill the enemies then, but then I end up at the fight with Gilbert and proceed to chapter 13. No idea what I'm doing wrong here.

>>7719984

What's this? Chronicles 02?

>>7720037
Just stay in the fight for a long time.

What's an easy to read untranslated moege?

>>7720079

Axanael.

How/When/Where to use the Metal Harvester in Baldr Sky? I can't seem to link it to anything.

>>7720079
Flyable Heart.

http://www.liar.co.jp/raiL/sanzinkou_chara.html

>>7720236
For some reason, the setting gives me strong Musashi Gundoh vibes. I hope the text won't be as ridiculously hard as in other RaiL titles. Oh who am i kidding, of course it will.

>>7720288

http://frontwing.jp/product/grisaia2/index.html

Uh, did the archive die?

bump

>>7720288
Going by the title, it'll be even worse.
Why use common forms when you just can use the obscure one!

>>7720037
you have to spend 4+ mins in that fight where your time decides what kind of scene you get to see. I think in that where Ma- I mean "shrine maiden" tells you are out of time it's just you need to be bit longer still.

>>7720135
you can link metal harvester pretty easily to moves that knock enemies down or are lying on the ground on the ground or in aerial combos that need slight downward movement to hit

>>7721072
About the shrine maiden, I've always wondered when the fuck did Makoto learn to pilot a shumicram in the past and why did she even start to do it. In that time Makoto was pretty shy and could barely speak, it doesn't fit her character evry well, unless Noi suggested it.

>>7721084
She was pretty vocal with her thoughts.

>>7721116
But enough to start fighting? She was in the whole newbies impact and all

>>7721123
Wait, you've cleared the game, correct? You should know why she's so good at fighting.

>>7716640
Awww...
She's so cute, makes you just want to punch her in the face.

>>7721201
Yeah, I know, what i don't know is why she started doing it, or can't remember

>>7721220
If I remember correctly Noi just says she was gifted and used battles as a way to relieve stress. IT doesn't really clash with her character, she comes off as shy only when she can't speak properly, but hearing her thoughts make her come off as a quite combactive

>>7721231
Then I ahd somewhat the right idea.
I should re read baldr soon.

The Neige Aile is probably up there in my favorite shumicrams along with Nidhogr and Hraesvelgr. Aegis Guard is cool too, but is a bit less flashy.
Dive X letting you use every shumicram was like a big fat christmas present for me.

>>7721299
Shadow Wolf -Sae- was my favorite, mostly because I'm sucker for twin-blade-bows, also it looks nice to my eyes, Grim-Baphomet is also to my tastes a lot. also the first fight against Neig-Aile was pretty awesome

I finished Muramasa chapter 3.
That was great stuff and I liked a lot the last battle/racebattle race against Misao and was really happy she could actually overcame that time, poor girl, and poor Kanae, getting killed out of the blue.
Also Chachamaru is pretty hot.

Any other VNs that have skill up gameplay?

>>7721638

Aside from cannibalism, what kind of depraved shit is in grisaia? Any rape? NTR?

>>7721752
Nothing like that, Grisaia is pure love story.

Subahibi with AGTH+TA+Rikaichan: terrible idea? I'm comfortable with basic Japanese grammar and know a handful of kanji.

>>7721768
Please, don't do this to yourself, anon.

>>7721768
It's going to ruin your experience. Eroge of that caliber aren't supposed to be read without at least JLPT1-level proficiency.

>>7721781
>>7721783
Alright, that's why I asked. If that's the case, I'll wait until I'm better.

FHA 90%
Can't get myself to finish it at last.

I want to play Oretsuba, but my Japanese isn't on par with the conversations in the second chapter.

Vocabulary isn't too much of an issue for me, but it seems that heavily artistic lines with weird syntax is putting a break into my reading pace. Is there a game with a similar difficulty that I could play before hand to warm myself up?

Just finished Kanojo no Shinyuu, it was okay I guess. The ganguro scenes were nice.

Now playing Twinkle Crusaders, hngggggg

>>7721884
It's mostly because he hardly ever says things directly. So much of his lines is dedicated to exposition, and correlating his outright eccentric word choice with what's being discussed is pretty taxing on the mind.

>>7721884
You are superhero of japanese, maybe Moggy is your friend?

Was Subahibi that hard to read? It was one of first eroge I've read without any help and I hadn't any trouble with this.
Compared to that, Oretsuba gave me some trouble, similar to what >>7721899 said.

bump

>>7721913
the opening poem/whatever it is is hard as fuck

other than that its just a grammatically weird line occasionally

>>7721926
not overall, but it had some really hard parts. I think the speech where he sits on kimika was the hardest.

Then again, it was my second VN and I had only been studying japanese for about a year and a quarter so its probably not actually as hard as I remember

>>7721768
I recommend reading 2-3 eroge before it (actually reading, no machine translation or whatev). After that go ahead. Keeping the best for last is masochism. If you can play something very good right now, do it.

Anyone play any of the Memories Off games? Any good ones to get into?

I'm on chapter 9 of Muv luv Unlimited, how long will be untill I'm done with this and can start Alternative? I need to know this.

Anybody knew any good new VNs being released now other than Rewrite and Rance 8?

>>7724275
Rewrite is out. Tenshi no Hane and Irotoridori both received favorable scores.

This year, Rance Quest (8), and Kajiri Kamui Kagura are coming out and worth looking forward to.

From Comiket, World End Economica, Kamidori append disc, and kind of Ryukishi07's new sound novel. Sucre is coming out, but it's only good for drowning in hopelessness.

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru and Kaeru by Circletempo may come out this year, both don't have defined release dates yet.

Giga is releasing a new RPG, and there's the Applique fan disk (which doesn't come out this year iirc).

Other than that, I don't know, and am not particularly excited for anything. Also, I wrote this entirely off the top of the head, so I may have missed some details.

>I think the speech where he sits on kimika was the hardest
Really? I found it much easier than, say, the book dialogue at the end of the intro chapter.

>>7724595
I think the hardest part was one of the endings. Lots and lots of philosophy. Can't remember the name of it, the first one right after Jabberwocky II.

The opening of KKK

>>7724716
Meh, needs less headbanging and more Japanese instruments. I expected it to be more like the BGM in trailers, too bad that it didn't deliver.

Nitroplus is making a pure love game.

>>7724787
source?

>>7724792
In digitarou's twitter, can't post the link for some reason

>>7724716
Thanks for pointing this out. I hadn't seen it. Opening song itself is alright, but it's nice to see that the game's art is as phenomenal as ever.

I'm so excited for KKK now that I'm getting close to the end of Dies Irae. At the same time, I'm really cautious about hyping for it. It's really clear that KKK is going to have a lot of production values. However, from light's past, so did Dies Irae; Also sprach Zarasthustra(?)(not sure if I roman-ized that right.) Yet that was left largely incomplete. I seriously hope the same thing doesn't happen here.

>>7724787
爆笑

>>7724787
It's not like pure love games can't be horribly twisted.

>>7724854
Writer will probably be Shimokura so I doubt it will be twisted, probably will be another Axanael level shit

what is the best nitro+ game?

>>7724866
Saya no Uta imo

>>7724865
Oh shit.
Didn't he also write sumaga? Could be as good.

>>7724873
He also wrote Axanael which was pure shit, and Gekkou which was mediocre.

>>7724873
Sumaga was pretty much only saved by its concept, the writing was horrible.

>>7724880
I disagree, but whatever.

>>7724866
Muramasa by very far

>>7724880
>Sumaga was pretty much only saved by its concept, the writing was horrible.
Agreed, Shimokura isn't really one of Nitro+'s best writer. He has cool ideas but his writing is really lacking compared to Narahara or Urobuchi.

>>7724866
Muramasa hands down.

Fuck, I just hope Narahara will write something new soon.

>>7724890
>Urobuchi
>Good
Pick one.

4chan's filter sucks. Here's the image though.

>スマガ/アザナエルチーム最新作
This game is going to suck so badly.

>>7724907
So it's really going to be him.
Nitroplus, you are going down the gutter

>>7724906
Read some of his stuff in Japanese before talking shit, newfriend. Although his works aren't the most original, they're still one of the most consistent eroge with good pacing and execution, this is coming from someone who doesn't really fancy him.

>>7724914
I've been here since 2001,pal.

>>7724906
He is a good writer, his sentences are pretty powerful.
Too bad he seems to lack ambition with his stories

Well, Digitarou did write in the Axanael liner notes that it was a work representative of the "New Nitroplus generation" so I'm not that surprised.

>>7724907
>>7724909
Well, think of it this way: Shimokura is the mass producer of Nitro+. They need money every now and then, so they whore out his skills while leaving the games that have potential to true writers.

no offense

Well you never know, a mediocre writer could pull off a good enough script, I'm going to wait before crying at Nitro+'s demise. Pure love story doesn't mean it's going to be all sparkles and bubbles either.
For now I just hope Tsuji Santa is going back to his early style and drops the awful grey alien proportions of Axanael

Speaking of eroge writers, does anyone know if they do any other jobs? I can't imagine them earn their living by just writing.

Playing Saihate no Ima now. I... don't really even know how to describe the writing in this game. One thing is for sure, though - this is the kind of game that demands intelligence from the reader. Your brain will get a real workout just by reading the text in Saihate no Ima.

Also, playing Cross+Channel and Saihate no Ima has made me realize just how much Romeo toned it down in Rewrite... If only he hadn't made that decision. Cross+Channel and Saihate no Ima have pretty much the most unique text of any eroge I've read, so in retrospect it's a little disappointing how standard Rewrite was for the most part.

>>7724955

>>7724875
>Axanael which was pure shit
Nah, it was also mediocre. Had its own good and bad points.

>>7724954
Huh, well that's unexpected. Guilty Crown seems to be one of the better shows of this Fall, so I'm surprised that they want to make a VN based on it. And I'm also surprised that LOST_X is not an original title.

They promised to show three titles on that event, right? What is the third one? I hope it's actually something original, like Dogura Q or Nubatama no Nue.

>>7725111
>What is the third one?
Not what you're hoping for, collaboration between Nitro+ and Bandai for Madoka, they talked about a PSP game

I agree, Axanael really was mediocre. There could have been so much more done with the Russian roulette theme. Also needed less Deus Ex Machina and TANUKI BALLS ROFL SO RANDUM!11 XD.

>>7725294
>TANUKI BALLS ROFL SO RANDUM!11 XD.
Didn't that only happen at the very end? I got to about 21-22 hours mark, and didn't see anything like that.

>>7725294
The whole game was pretty fucking stupid to be honest. Only the beginning was good.

>>7725411
Not DEEP enough for you?

>>7725414
Nah, I just happen to be someone who doesn't have fanboy goggles on.

wait, for real? Am I going to read some philosophical real deal? I thought there was going to be only some Wittgenstein's quotes here and there. Is there going to be more? Like, Fichte, Hegel, Husserl or some other one... I'm greatly intrigued since I study this and when games are labeled "philosophical", rarely they go beyond entry-level concepts.

>>7725445
Torture us more.

>>7725449
You say that like there are people who didn't read that yet. Oh wait, I'm one of them. Still on chapter 2.

>>7725411
I'd like to say that being stupid was the game's point, but I honestly am not sure what its point was. I guess it didn't know whether it wanted to be a comedy, or drama or a serious ギャンブル.

At least I got my Noko and Sakura.

>>7724945

Do ANY of the actual Japanese eroge fans give a shit about 'unique text' or any of that shit?

Or is this just Moogy being obsessed with 'obscure kanji'?

>>7726220
I imagine they don't because since Japanese is their native language it's nothing special to them.

>>7726220
There exist people that get off to the complexity of English text here, so I'm sure there are the same type of people in Japan.

>>7726220
Some do, most only care about the sum of things

>>7726220
Yeah, some do. Moogy isn't someone special in that regard.

>>7726231
>I imagine they don't because since Japanese is their native language it's nothing special to them.
That's stupid, you can read English but you can distinguish a skilled writer with its own style from a boring shitty one even if English is nothing special to you.
There's plenty of people who care about writers and writing style in eroge, and they can udnerstand the nuances of the language better than foreign student no matter how proficient, I'd guess, but quality isn't the same thing as using obscure kanji (see: France Shoujo).

Though I think people who aren't retarded don't equate the amount of obscure kanji with good writing.

>>7726247
What's bad in France Shoujo? It's in my to read plans.

>>7726249
Obviously.
It should be noted that he's never mentioned a rail soft title, so his japanese musn't be that good either.

>>7726272
Really long and tedious. I honestly think it could have been a decent game if it had less "feeding" scenes and other essentially repeated/useless scenes. The writing itself is famous(?) for being full of kanji bullshitting but other than that there wasn't anything special about it that I could see. The kanji bullshitting mostly comes with furigana so it's not as hard to read as the kanji count might lead you to believe.

>>7726272
It's one of those cases where the author tried too hard to use obscure/complex kanji and the script turned out needlessly heavy. It doesn't even have the great feeling railsoft scripts have, it's just a chore.

The writing in France Shoujo isn't particularly bad, just that the game itself is far too long and dull. I wouldn't recommend it honestly

I don't know who that is in the OP, but god damn is she adorable.

Seems like the KimiIta remake has been given a release date again for 10/28.
inb4 delay. Again.

There is good atmosphere or "real book" feeling or satisfying endings in France Shoujo?

>>7726338
>Is there
fix

I just finished Tenshi no Hane.
It was mediocre as hell, no way it could be counted as one of the best of the year.
Basically half of the script is about how absolutely perfect and amazing Ayame is and how everybody like him, the cast is really shallow and you can see basically everything coming of since the story is predictable as hell and really corny at that.

The last route had some good action and the magic system was pretty well thought-out but that's everything positive I can say about this.

>>7726354
the only people I've seen saying it's one of the best this year also thin Eustia is the best game this year and we know how that game turned out

>>7726358
>we know how that game turned out
fine?

>>7726358
Well I liked Eustia, I don't think it was amazing and it definitely had its low point but it was entertaining all the way through and at least the banter was pretty good.

The banter in Tenshi no Hane consist of people praising each other ad nauseam and talking about amazingly perfect the protag is.

>>7726363
if you closed your eyes while reading about half of it, maybe. Then again, people have strange ways of judging things by ignoring the bad parts about it. Dunno.

Eustia was almost 10/10 or solid 9/10 game for me before these "routes" pops up.

>>7726377
Well the "routes" are really short.
I've been liking Eustia better in retrospect, you can see how well made and consistent it is as a whole after finishing and thinking about it, the thematic is strong and well developed through the game too.

It's definitely in the best of the year so far, though it's not like this year had anything really amazing yet.

>>7726389
The thing is in not that they are short, protag is changing personality, moe shit love happy blushing pair wedding shit.

>>7726401
Well to be fair I ctrled most of the time during these routes.
They are just there as omake material, you don't have to read them, I won't like Eustia less because of these.

>>7726411
>I ctrled most of the time during these routes.
Ugh

>>7726374
The only part of Eustia I thought 'shit, this is so bad' is the first half of the last route.
The rest were at least average.

>Well to be fair I ctrled most of the time during these routes.

Then you can have no opinion on them. Or on the game as a whole, for that matter.

Good day.

>>7726374
When you play eroge you have to learn to close your eyes.
Eroge that are consistently good are really, really rare.

>>7726433
That's retarded.
I read Licia's route since I actually liked her but don't tell I can't have an opinion of the game because I ctrled when Fione started talking about how she couldn't fuck till her marriage and the subsequent boring shit.

There is a main story in Eustia, I read it completely and this is what should be judged.
The "routes" that weren't even written by the main writer are just glorified scenario with absolutely no weight on the story.

>>7726328
I don't understand why it's taking so long. Wasn't it supposed to be out before the first MuvLuv Chronicles? It must be really shitty if they keep delaying it.

>>7726450
The twist was that a huge earthquake happened during the story.
Considering what happened in Japan recently they had to rewrite it.

>>7726435
Well yeah, but in my case I found myself rolling eyes on three chapters out of five+prologue, with Eris's taking the prize for most retarded depiction of mental instability ever. To be honest two very good chapters can't make up for the whole game.

>>7726433
We should apply this thinking to all forms of media. Didn't play 100% of all sidequests in a game? You're not allowed to have an opinion on it. Watched a TV broadcast of a movie edited down for length? You just as well have not watched it at all. Haven't watched all 500 episodes of Naruto? Tough shit, your opinion means nothing.

>>7726450
It was probably artwork/scripting related issues that's been the cause of the delay.
And that's terrible logic, though I suppose it is to be expected from you.

Eustia was a good effort from August.
And it was at least more consistent than Rewrite though Terra was better than anything in Eustia.

>>7726453
I doubt that. Considering the game was originally slated to be out June of last year way before the earthquake.

>>7726477
Really? Assuming it isn't delayed again, it was originally supposed to be out 16 months before its current release date. Exactly what kind of 'artwork/scripting' issues could age be having that causes them to keep delaying the game? I expect a bit more out of this company.

Stop arguing, this is the winner of this year

>>7726487
Don't forget that at one point Kouki had to sell a house to get capital for developing KimiIta.
Aside from that, age has 2 "stealth" projects going on right now (TE VN, Elfen Blaze), had the main artist for the game do two others, presumably working on the TE VN as well as they seem to be pushing him as the TE artist now, got the original writer who I believe had left age to write and change the very meager script into something longer, as well as introduce a ton of new characters, and presumably made changes to modernize and streamline the game, and the other two age writers have been working on other stuff like Schwarzesmarken and Chronicles 02, and probably working on Chronicles 03.

>>7726547
Actually, fuck it disregard most of that post aside from the capital bit.
If I remember right, age had given the game a tentative date of Early this summer for it, with Chronicles 02 being before that, but then the Earthquake happened and everything got pushed back for whatever reason.

bump

Around what chapter does MLA pick up? I mean it's good, but it is pretty tedious at this point, I'm on chapter 2.

>>7728111

Things start changing around Chapter 5.

I would warn you that the pacing is horrendous and there are many, many very long breaks in the action even after that point.

It's worth reading if just for the ending though.

>>7728115
Also, how long is the game? And am I correct in saying that there is only one ending?

>>7728140

30-50 hours, reading speed depending.

Yes, only one ending.

What are the best VN's visual wise?

>>7728162
Yosuga no Sora has the best sprites bar none. As far as CGs, I'm not sure.

>>7728164
...What the fuck are you on?

>>7728162
ef and Eden

Best visuals is kind of hard to point at, since that depends mostly on your taste in artists.
Most people would probably laugh at me for saying Symphonic Rain, but I love Siro. The backgrounds and environment also helped.

Ushinaware had pretty neat visuals at least.

>>7728162
H2o and ef.

>>7728162
Hoshimemo dev here to present my biased opinion.

>>7728162
I personally think everything besides Muv Luv's character design is absolutely gorgeous, but.

Also, I think Grisaia and Dies Irae have some of the most gorgeous graphics (CGs in Dies Irae's case, sprites are not so good), and also think Sumaga is kind of high up there. Ef and Eden (minori) aside.

>>7728287
>I personally think everything besides Muv Luv's character design is absolutely gorgeous, but.

So I'm still the only one that likes silly hair?

>>7728287
Blurry back grounds sure are cool,eh?

Continuing my quest to finish Clannad.

Despite being very similar (barring some minor and other not-so-minor details) to the adapted arc in the animation, Fuuko's route was great and really enjoyable. Despite how much they fucked up the light orbs storyline and climax in the anime/AS, I'm respecting KyoAni for adapting most routes fairly well.

>>7728297

>>7728162
Steins Gate and Hoshizora no Memoria were my favourite in terms of visuals.

>>7728162
If there's one thing August can do, its character art.

>>7728344
Recycled and crappy character art.

>>7728344
Are you serious?

>>7728344
recycled, but not crappy. The cgs are average but the sprites are way better than most stuff I've played. Anyway, feel free to say what fairly standard art you think is good.

>>7728362
Sca-ji art

Ughh, what did I do wrong? Is this the patches fault? Can I fix it?

>>7728395
see the post two above yours

>>7728414
My own post used against me...

Idon'tseeanythingwrongwithit

How to decrypt latest psp isos to make them playble on JPSCP? For example Second Novel. I mentioned before some of you guys here played it.

>>7728598
Last time I checked you still needed someone with an actual PSP to decrypt it for you. Dunno if they changed anything since then.
I would just pick up an old fat PSP for ~50$ on ebay if I were you. You can easily put custom firmware on it and put your games on a memory stick.

>>7728287
I still didn't get around to read through Dies Irae, but I agree on the Grisaia part - it looked absolutely beautiful.

>>7728312
That scares me more than any BETA ever did.

>>7728303
Autists are so weird. Why do things like backgrounds bother you guys so much? It's always the most minute things that upset you.

>>7728654
I dunno because its a ADV?

>>7728654
Not that guy but detailed backgrounds add the the atmosphere, and after the 10th time you see the same sprites you begin to take notice of the backgrounds too, especially if they're well made. I wouldn't really call them "most minute".
Still, complaining a game graphics suck because of blurry backgrounds is stupid, yeah.

Not a eustia fd? ;_;

Playing through Tsukihime for the first time at the moment, will jump straight to Kagetsu Tohya when I'm done but I'm curious: Should you really follow a flowchart when playing it? Heard some things about events which will fuck you over unless you delete a certain file if you make a mistake or something along those lines. Am I being mislead or is there something to it?

Attempting to finish Utawarerumono since I never finished it the last time I tried to play it.
It's not going well, I'm basically where I was last time and feel like shelving it again.
I think I'll just go read something else.

>>7728900
The Eustia fandisk was included in the game, it was basically the character routes and the extra ero scenes.

>>7728950
The extra ero of Tia was just horrible, why did they do that?
I wanted to fap, not to be horribly depressed.

>>7728994
Would you like to tell us why it made you that depressed?

>>7728994
I feel your pain, that extra scenario was a freaking low blow.

>>7728903
Please listen to the rest of us and use a flowchart for KT. The way the game works, basically everyday is kind of a repeat of the same day, and the game saves after every day. So if you do screw up and don't realise it until later, you basically have to delete the GLOBAL SAVE and START FROM SCRATCH. Considering that KT is RIDICULOUSLY long. . .please use a flow chart.

>>7729002
That would be a huge spoiler so no.

>>7728903
Read the walkthrough on kiserai, clear KT in 40 days or about 10 hours
flowcharts are stupid

>>7729019
Spoil it. I'm genuinely curious.

>>7729019
im curious too. want to know this too.

>>7729035
>>7729053
just play the game instead of ruining the plot for yourselves

>>7729055
I will, but I'm wonering what made him depressed. If it's rape/ntr shit like that, then no way i'm gonna play it.

>>7729061
There is no rape/ntr, the heroines are all pure.

>>7729023
>>7729018
Well having to delete the save sounds like a bother so I'll take your advice. I'll check out kiserai and the flowchart and just follow whichever makes the most sense I suppose. Thanks for the assistance.

The CGs in Tsubasa no Oka no Hime were absolutely gorgeous. Too bad the VN itself was shit.

I'm kind of in the mood for a maid fetish game without a lot of ero. Just cute moe moe maids doing cute moe moe maid things.

any of these you guys particularly recommend?

>>7729072
I wouldn't call it shit, some characters were good. Disappointing, maybe.

Why do Yaoi fans rate everything yaoi related so high?

>>7729338
>so high
Such as?

>>7729339
Everything.

>>7729338
why do rape fans rate rape games so high?
why do masochists rate female domination games so high?
why do monstergirl fans rate monmusu quest so high?
why do bestiality fans rate bestiality games so high?

>>7729335
>some characters were good

True. If it weren't for Vivian, Petunia or Hakkaku (let's throw Dowth in there too) I'd have dropped it after the first route. Those characters alone made it bearable.

>>7729640
I on the other hand dropped it in the middle of the first route because those characters were so awesome and I couldn't stop wishing for them being the main focus.
Or maybe I just hated the main characters

Its not exactly a VN but I figured I'd be the best place to ask, Anyone know where I can find a download for BigBangBeat? Theres a demo & a full version floating around but all the links I've found so far are dead.

>>7729651
Their individual routes (almost) made up for the disappointment that was Chris' and how painfully dull Tees and Edric's were. Petunia was awesome, Hakkaku was adorable (even if his ending made me rage) and so was Dowth.

Site is not working.

I don't know, I can't say I really like Tsukutori so far (finished Ayako's route and don't know how far into Yayoi's right now). I guess I really would prefer my detective games to have some sort of interactivity so I'd be more immersed.
Anyhow Ayako's route was quite meh, I thought. Hibiki not being blind was pretty obvious to me, and I despise bullying which this route had quite a few. Then random NTR gangrape in with no reason was absolutely ridiculous. I also didn't like how he was always going over about "I'll protect Ayako." "I'm doing it for Ayako's sake", oh give me a break, I'm bored of cliche stuff like this. The part I enjoyed was the protag going delusional with random people going after their life.
Then this route with Yayoi (and Ruru?)... Oh fuck me, I'm sick and tired of GUESSING WHICH TWIN IS AT WHICH SCENE. Sigh.
Should I continue if stuff so far really disappointed me, or it gets a lot better later?

Also I don't mean offense toward anyone, but this artwork in general is one of the worst I have ever seen, even subpar to the doujin games I can think of.

>>7730573
You know, there is a reason why this game is divided in question and answer arc, you basically got everything wrong so far seeing your spoiler text.
Stop looking at red herring like it's the truth, look deeper.

>>7731208
Actually if you are going to drop it and want some spoilers
In the first arc the brother isn't the culprit, basically everything he and Ayako did was to run away from the village, the last scene with them "dieing" was actually fake, there is a secret exit in the house. Of course nobody in the village really believe in their god and Ayako really hate what happen to her and hate her village.
For the second arc there is no twin sister, that girl died when she was a kid, what happen is that the oldest sister is trying to trap and kill her "father" who is basically the true bad guy of the game, the little sister was raped by him as a kid and basically got some Stockholm syndrome going on with him so she defends him.

>>7731208
>>7731255
And to finish, the answer arcs are mostly played from the povs of the heroine and are really good, Tsukutori actually has a strong plot that become much more massive that you'd think in the last route.

Of course if you buy the obvious red herring and go ZOMG RAPE NTR BULLYING IT'S SHIT you could just drop it now.

Playing Owarinaki Natsu, Towa Naru Shirabe.
DAT rUGP.

>>7731300
Oh this one, Mio was pretty moe

>>7731305
Do you happen to remember how many routes/endings there were?
Trying to avoid using a walkthrough, and I know if I pull one up to check, I'll use it.

>>7731620
5 routes with one heroine end each and a separated bad end. So 6 in total.

>>7731642
Thanks.

>>7731305
My heart.
I'm only like 20 minutes in too, Jesus Christ.

I noticed that Monmusume Quest is pretty popular around here. Thus, I offer this.

Does /jp/ know the joys of boning a dragon?

>>7731828
It's only popular because it's translated, really.

>>7731837
And it's translated because it's good

>>7731849
Tell that to da crapo.

So what was 2ch reaction on Nitro+ going to make renai eroge?

>>7731849
>it's translated because it's good
Okay, I chuckled.

>>7731863
What does pure love story entail exactly?

>>7731849
Oh, hadn't you heard? If it's translated it's not worth playing

>>7731871
New and new pure love stories.

>>7731863
It's by Shimokura so nobody cares

What determines how much exp a weapon gets in Baldr Sky? Is it just usage, or damage, or?

>>7732063
Might not be entirely correct, but from what I've seen, using it and hitting nothing gives 10 XP. You get additional exp depending on damage done using that weapon, and even more if you killed an enemy using it.

>>7732137
Not that guy but...
You get exp for just using it?
Goddamnit time to level up all the useless shit.

>>7732146
10 exp is pretty bad though, it'll take you years to level the useless stuff.

Some weapons do require less exp than others for master though, for example the Magnetic Field gun (which was very very awesome) which slowed things down leveled up ridiculously fast compared to some of the shitty projectile attacks, but you cannot kill anything with it.

>>7731828
Where is this from?

>>7732277
Dra+Koi. Highly recommend it. Best 4 hour game ever since or after Saya no Uta.
