Sakura is back in Da Capo 3
How old is she by then?

cyber-sex thought-leak foreshadowing?

>>8831149
Also, this game might be the most interesting thing I've played yet. Other VNs, even when I've enjoyed them, I've felt like taking breaks more frequently.

And why the fuck hasn't Kou guessed that the version of Sora in his sisters online area is an AI yet (unless I'm completely wrong). Slow protagonists annoy me.

>>8831144
That's all I need.

>>8829179
It was a christmas miracle. Because God likes to fuck around.

>>8831183
Because AI are not like that and have a programmed personality, Kuu is weird.

>>8831149
>cyber-sex thought-leak foreshadowing?
You know it!

>>8831183
there's only one thing you can call Kou being slow to realize and it's to the extend that its a joke and that thing you mentioned isn't it and there are reasons why he doesn't notice it and it's not like it takes long to be revealed, otherwise he is pretty good in realizing stuff so don't worry.

It was hilarious till he hammered her. That looked painful for Makoto's body.

Opening of the new eroge by Escude.

>>8831144
and you thought call of duty has too many rehash

The trial for この大空に、翼をひろげて is pretty good though I have to admit that I just can't say no to a heroine in a wheelchair so this is a must-read for me anyway.

Finished 悪の女幹部 フルムーンナイト
For a game about betraying, raping and then blackmailing your bosses it had pretty happy endings and the new epilogues that were added made them even happier.

Shame they didn't bother to redo the old CG to the new resolution.

I just finished Chaos;Head and got both the A ending and AA ending. I was a bit unsatisfied by them. Did anyone else feel like the characters were wasted? After Rimi started being shoved down your throat, it seems like the focus on the other girls stopped. I felt like they all needed more development. Not to mention Yua and Nanami did barely anything with their Di-Swords. Was this fixed in Chaos;Head Noa, considering how each of the characters have their own routes?

Also, I heard Ending B is the True End. Is this true.

I just watched the animu for this shit and kinda like it.
Is the game as good as the animu? better? worse?

Why is /jp/ so nice and quiet during the morning? I wish it was like this all the time..
Also have you guys ever read this?

=plpp_video
Looks really fun, wish i could read it or if somebody would translate it..

>>8831901
Fuck you bangkok go suck a horse cock.

>>8831819
I thought this was a FD. It's some kind of remake instead?

>>8831901
The protagonist's little brother is ultra moe.
Otherwise, from what I've read it's nice, but nothing amazing.
The heroines are fairly cute, and I found it decently funny and entertaining.

>>8832051
>his face when

>>8832155
i liked all the heroines in the animu

>>8832149
Yeah, it's a remake. Whole new beach chapter, couple of new endings, all the old endings have a brand new epilogue. additional ero scenes with each heroine.

Pretty decent remake, They just didn't bother to redo any of the old stuff.

>>8831901
I have no idea about the anime but I thought the game was pretty shitty with no good heroines.

I was disappointed since I was a fan of the company's 2 previous games.

>>8832179
you guys are so lucky to be able to read all those awesome vns with mature women... Is that the main heroine? shes really sexy.

>>8832323
luck hasn't got anything to do with it, it's effort

>>8832179
Not really looking forward to going through the main game again for the new scenes. Maybe I'll just get a savegame.

>>8832382
THIS.

>>8832323
You could be reading them too milf autist anon. Just have to study it.

>>8831701

Looking a bit yandere for some of them - but the mc looks to be an proactive type?

>>8831868
It was in the script to troll people, the true end is AA.
BUT the end of end B was my favourite part of C;H, great descriptions.

>>8832171
Then you might as well give it a try then.
Though, I haven't watched the anime, so yeah.

Can you recommend me anything along the lines of Kara no Shoujo? I really liked the notebook system and the sheer amount of choices you have.

>>8832733
Caucasus. Same company with better art and a pain in the ass system. It's also not translated.

Anyone placing bets on how many spin-offs will this one have?
I say at least 15.

>>8833110

Fuck

>>8833122
>>8833131
There's going to be an 18+ remake.

There has to be.

Goddammit.

Grisaia no Kajitsu / Le Fruit De La Grisaia
have a walkthrough?

>>8833167
you really, really don't need one. one (obvious) choice to go onto character's route, one choice to get their good/bad end. and you should read the bad ends anyway

>>8833174
>>8833174
can i read ur mom

>try to play FS/N
>get to practicing with rin
>get so fucking bored that i turn it off

I don't want to know fucking everything about the "magic system" that you've thought up Nasu. Jesus christ.

>>8833210
How's that ADHD going?

Finished Futami's route in Itsusora, for a moment I thought it was going for a bittersweet end, which would have been a real fuck you to the poor Futami. I also feel I should read more about Ragnaorck, I feel I missed a lot of references since I cought about Fenrir and a couple more.
For next route, should I do San or Konome? Konome is kinda what should follow, but I've heard negative comments about San's route.

>>8833442
Do Konome next.
San's route isn't bad, just strange and kind of short, well it's quite a bit weaker than Futami and Konome's routes I guess

>>8833472
Got that. I loved Konome from what I saw of her in the common route. Midono ended up being an bitch though throwing ice cream, and that was in 5 minutes being true to her personality.

>>8833210
Come at me bro XD XD XD

>8831144
I wonder how Sakura will suffer next.
In Da Capo she lost her love, almost killed her friend and had to kill the tree that was a memento of her grandmother.
In Da Capo 2 she couldn't even raise her own son and ended up having her memories wiped.
And in Da Capo 3 looking at that image it looks like she roamed around in the world for countless years and couldn't even reunite with her son.

>>8833501
She also had to see her best friend fuck her son.
Though Aisia being the canon end of Da Capo 2 was a nice surprise

>>8833501
She kills herself for her loved one, he then forgets everything about her and she lives as a tree.

>>8833501
I hated Sakura anyway.

I don't know about you guys, but I found a reason to play D.C.III.

>>8833608
>Though Aisia being the canon end of Da Capo 2
What? Yume or Otome didn't win?

>>8833110
>Da Capo

lol, not gonna read. I can just take a sleeping pill instead. I don't know how people like those games.

>>8833703
You are 20 games late for that question.

>>8833708
what question

>>8833734
why people like those games.

>>8833681
The protagonist and his cousin Charles have the surname of Yoshino meaning they are descendant of Sakura since she is the only one with that name.
Sakura only has one son, the protagonist of DC2 so they are his descendants too.
And Charles looks exactly like Aisia, except with boobs. Also it was revealed in DC2 that Aisia's grandmother was named Charles too.

At least that's the theory.

>>8833608
>Aisia
>canon end

Motherfucking what.

Spoil me the details. Aisia's one of my favorite Da Capos.

>>8833743
Really, now? I suppose the whole prequel thing makes even more sense now.

>>8833743
Well, if you read the >>8831144 picture, she said that the 'dreamlike dream' of the beginning of the story.

That might as well mean that it's the prequel, the story of the grandmothers of Sakura, Junichi and Aisia, not the sequel of DC2.

>>8833501
Cool, now I'm never going to be able to read Da Capo.

Thanks.

>>8834169
I assume you aren't being sarcastic. Because you should be thankful.

>>8834238
Well, I read enough of the first one to understand it's bad, but I was planning to get through it at least for historical value.

I should've known better, VN sequels are incompatible with my own personal brand of autism anyway.

>>8832586

Thanks for the reply, anon.

Why do people hate Da Capo so much here? I thought the first one was decent but not spectacular. The character designs are lovely and the world is so sweet it is hard to hate.

>>8834627
It's not bad. Just extremely mediocre.

>>8834627
It's the incremental 'Circus' marketing that everyone hate.

>>8834641
what the hell? help me /jp/

>>8833110
All those tits are almost enough to get me to play an all ages game. Almost.

>>8834627
I liked one or two routes in each Da Capo, found the rest sub-par or average.

Anybody here ever play ToHeart 2 (xrated, if that matters any) on a Windows 7 machine before? Grabbed a copy and applied the partial English patch, problem is the effects in the game such as transitions/menu screens takes literally 3 minutes to complete. Already put it in compatibility mode for xp service pack 3 along with running it as admin.

>>8835301
I attempted to, but couldn't get it to run properly. I can't remember all the issues I had with it but one was that it wouldn't pause on CGs, so it would show one but immediately transition away from it into the text.

>>8835301
I had that same problem. I can't remember exactly what you have to change but I tinkered with the game settings until it worked.

The only Da Capo route I've actually played was Alice's in the fan translation for D.C.P.C. 'Twas average, but I liked it.

Also one of the few instances I can think of where April Fools was actually used as a "plot twist" in a VN

>>8835301
Actually just found a post that might help with your problem

>You can also deal with the lagged transitions, and effects through your menu. If you chose the middle menu on the top and the second option down you can change the speed. The top two will get the game running at a normal rate.

>>8835327
Bollocks. That doesn't sound good.

>>8835342
Was it in-game or am I going to have to dick around with a config file somewhere?

>>8835347
IT WORKED. Thanks bro.

Why do you have to be so weeaboo, /jp/? You goddamn embarrassment.

>>8835774
Get on my level bitch, you will never be able to seduce guys like I'm able to.

I don't know whether the increase in typos compared to FH indicates less reliance on machine translation or what, but this is pretty understandable if not slightly boring.

>>8835777

Finally finished meikyuu just now, together with kajitsu this'll make about 2 months I read nothing but Grisaia.
Not that it wasn't great or anything, but finally being able to read something new is refreshing.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind reading on if rakuen was here already.. dammit.
The soundtracks will also probably stay in my playlist for a few more weeks.

Also, falling for minor side characters is suffering as always.

I really like the girl in the black dress,the girl with the bandanna and the girl with the shorts/pink shoes.

After reading the OL route in MO5 and watching her either die or leave the MC I can't be fucked to read another MO game

Opinions about ホームレス女子●学生?
Even if it's not exactly my genre, I'm kinda interested in it, probably cause it doesn't seem to be a nukige, even though it's full of rape.
A download link would be greatly appreciated too.

>>8835963

She's back in rakuen, no doubt; but until then, bro, join us in waiting until end of the year, unless it gets delayed.

>>8835997
please, the characters look really cool though. And this one should be better since its one of the first ones and by kid.

Already a patch for Mahoyo

After Seinarukana Xuse decided to transplant Saihate no Ima on PSP too.

And looks like it will have new scenes and new CGs.
If Romeo is the one who wrote the new scene it will be a sure buy for me.

>>8836800
There's no voice acting. I can't imagine it would be that big an ISO.

Fucking psycheddddddddd for this months releases.

>>8836800
Cause it's fake; trial version was around 600 mb.

Excuse me, I'm changing my old piss poor NEET pc, and I was wondering, Would it be a good idea to use windows 7 x64?
I ask because I've been hearing about compatibility problems with certain VNs on x64 systems.

>>8838115
I've had problems with Saihate no ima and a couple of other minor VNs.
That's about it.

>>8838161
Problems as in not being able to run them at all?

>>8838192
Yeah. But I think in those cases they are exclusive to w7 and not just to x64.

>>8838253
I'm on 7 x32 and I can start Saihate no Ima just fine

>>8828353
Wouldn't you be able to run them on a VM or something?

>>8838253
Wouldn't you be able to run them on a VM?

Oh god my heart. This VN is so bad it's good, the only Japanese I've ever learned is the kanas and some vocabulary from anime, and I can understand like 80% of this thing.

I guess Mahoyo isn't available yet

>>8840579
To be honest I'm only interested in it because Alice was cute in the trial

You probably would be able to run them in a VM, yes.

I thought the Shinobu route was a lot better than the others, but I found it enjoyable overall. The MC is a shota hitokiri.

I can't get on EGS for some reason. Have they blocked foreign IPs? How can I browse the site?

Started asairo a bit ago.
Haven't read anything with that kind of whiny protagonist for a while now so I had to notice again how much they actually annoy me.
I like the setting though and the soundtrack goes really well with it, so I'll do my best to persevere

>>8841772
Site is downed due to TM fans upvoting Mahoyo with 100.

>>8841740
UshiMirai is pretty good. god tier art, pretty funny and enjoyable and the few last routes were great, the first routes were bit meh though.

>>8841799
The true highlight is the yandere bad-end out of fucking nowhere.

I see they are ridding on the Grisaia wave

Well my download of Mahoyo just finished.
Time to get into it

if it's the 7 part torrent on nyaa, could you please report whether or not it's legit

I was thinking that she was really androgynous, but I was just chalking that up to crazy Japanese character designs.

>>8844366
I don't know the game but that is a whole lot titty to be missing. Are you an idiot perhaps, you can see those from space.

>>8844370
The titties mysteriously disappear in the sprites, don't blame me.

>>8844370
Jokes on you because her non-existant tits while wearing her usual clothes is a great mystery.

Been enjoying Ayami's route in 恋めくりクローバー

A great charage if you like any of the 3 heroines. Very light on the drama. Protagonist isn't terrible either.

Since the game is separated into a main route + friend/lover scenes throughout, there's a sense of disconnection since you can choose any friend/lover scene in any order. There are plenty of these scenes though.

Interaction with heroines outside the one you pick is pretty minimal.

The whole puzzle game thing is pretty worthless and simply an excuse for the characters to get together. I'm sure it will tie into the ending in some way though.

Are there any good games that have a bad, dense as fuck protagonist? I mean the level of denseness is incomprehensible to the point where you want to push him from a moving truck. No nukige please or if your nice you can learn me the tag that describes the protagonist.

>>8844460
Muv-Luv

>>8844465
I read that already. But thanks. I can read moon so you aren't limited in recommendations.

Isn't that what school days is about?

Also, the tag you're looking for sounds like hetare protagonist
http://vndb.org/g524

>>8844477
Thanks, that looks good. Does it include protagonist that are immune to woman's advances?

>>8844471
Maybe, only if the protagonist is a waste of oxygen.

>>8844486
That would be donkan

>>8844477
That's not really dense protag, more just loser protag.

>>8844489
>>8844487
Can't I like both? Also thanks for the suggestions, now to weed through the nukige and the games with a little more plot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NhbsWIX-W4

playing kara no shoujo right, came across brief NVL scenes in intervals throughout the story with soft 'humming?' (more like, la la la--) music in a smooth female voice. Feels like a deja vu.. or, like that this type of scenes are employed quite often in other VNs. I couldn't for the life of me think of any examples though, can anyone think of any or am I being retarded?

>>8844889
I can't remember how it was in Kara no Shoujo, but is this what you were thinking of?

http://youtu.be/Fgp2MgD1ayk

>>8844357
What.
That means Nicola has at least some form of route then I take it?

>>8844889
Saya no uta

>>8844889
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI6sPhk8tXY
This one maybe?

>>8845022
>>8845115
Thanks, yeah something like except I don't remember the feeling of the scene because CC and saya I played too long ago. I guess 黄昏のシンセミア is the only one I remember with similar feeling in certain parts, except those are more like actual back story; still not sure what the nvl scenes in kara no shoujo is about since I thought this was more realistic/historical setting, guess I'll wait and see.

Finished Verita. It's a great game with tons of amazing, moving and chilling moments. Ekuria's character development is awesome (though I wish she stayed tsundere longer). The gameplay is pretty fun too.

My only complaints is that the dual protagonist system kinda ruins the pacing for me especially at the start, it's like I was playing two different games at the same time. Also, I feel like the game is trying way too hard to make Celica and Louie look cool whenever they met. I'm also a bit disappointed by the lack of appearance/prominence of Genrin 2 characters. All we get is that slut Karian and she's annoying as hell. Actually I think the game would be way better without her.

One thing I don't understand though is how Luna Clear and Satia are connected? She couldn't be Satia's reincarnation since Celica was talking to Luna Clear about searching for Satia's soul at the end of the Light route. Not to mention there are a lot of scenes that hints the Satia's soul is still inside her own body.
Also, who is Shuri supposed to be a reincarnation of? The only notable females in Celica's past is Kaya(now Marinya) and Satia(Luna Clear?).

Shame this game is hard to recommend because it's tightly connected to Zero and Genrin2. If you read it without reading those two first you'd get confused and a lot of scenes would lose its impact.

Any recommendations for mystery VNs?

Mahoyo is getting pretty good scores on EGS.

Wow, maybe should check the site before I post. There goes my excitement for playing it once I finished '&'

>>8846152
>Stream, stream...there's 11 votes on EGS, of which 4 seem to be troll votes (twice 0, once 15, once 20).

3 of these "troll" votes are by people who voted for more than 30 eroge.
And the scenario/text being mediocre seem to be the common opinion in the 2ch threads

>>8846152
I'd say the votes giving it 65 that actually have written up criticisms of it are indicative of the game's poor quality.

It's not exactly a long game.

>>8846204
being the buyfag that I am, honestly if I would have bought mahoyo I'd be pretty pissed if I had to pay full price of game that lasts only around 8-10 hours and has no voice acting or ero. at most I would pay doujin price out of it. there's nothing that excuses that high price for it

Quick /jp/, which one do I choose?

>>8846248
Fuck, lost my picture

>>8846210

>>8846645
can't stop the type-money money train when fans eat anything

This year is so bad so far.
Basically everything I've been waiting for has been disappointing to some degree, only Grisaia and MLA Chronicles 3 kind of delivered.

Currently on chapter 7 of Mahoyo.
Chapter 5 was good, rest was boring shit. To be honest I'm tempted to simply ctrl my way through till the next climax.
At least the production values are god-like

How similar is Saihate no IMA to Cross Channel? Somehow I didn't enjoy latter very much apart from the last few chapters and the ending, so I'm wondering if I like SnI better since the setting sounds interesting. From Tanaka's works I've only read CC and I/O and I think they both were pretty まあまあ.

I like how the horizontal orientation leaves space for the sprites but the Kanji getting smaller makes reading this slightly more uncomfortable.
Also, wtf are you doing Naomasa.

>>8846962
Is that the boat vn?
How is it so far?
I always wanted to read it..

>>8846962
I honestly always preferred the default vertical text setting, otherwise it's a bit of a pain to read, and more importantly some lines with special spacing would probably lose some punch.

Finished Mahoyo.
It wasn't too bad.
Well the slice of life/character interaction was really dull as expected, and there is a ton in Mahoyo but the production helps at making them easier to shallow.
There is also a lot of characters who basically didn't get any screentime, though I guess they are tie-in for the sequels.

Personally I really liked chapter 5, it's easily the best part of the game and really Mahoyo is worth reading just for that chapter.
After that the game went back to a slump but things started to get interesting again around chapter 10 when Touko appeared.
The scene where Soujurou beats the Wolf was kind of bullshit but I guess acceptable in a chuuni way, the production value when Aoko reached the 5th magic was godlike.

Well for a final word I'll say that Nasu does action/chuuni well as usual but the writing for everything else isn't really to my taste, by the end I still couldn't really "feel" the characters, there is no "story" or thematic like FSN or Tsukihime either.
I guess the big TM fans who already love Aoko before even reading it won't have that problem though.
A good 8/10 title, though admittedly without the godlike production value I'd rate it lower.

>>8846930
They are pretty different.
It's possible to enjoy one and dislike the other, try it

Okay I got to Sadogashima arc in MLA now. I was getting pumped up for some beta killing action after the first 8 dull eps, but no, am forced to read even more shit I don't even care about (infodumps after infodumps). Someone needs to tell MLA's writer to shape the fuck up, learn how to edit and write stories because this isn't how you do it.

Can someone tell me what people find so fascinating about this eroge? Is it the last eps? I really doubt the 2-3 last episodes will save this boring trite. I'm pretty sure all who voted 10 just skimmed past the boring parts and only read it for the "action". By the way even the action scenes are lame and don't really show anything new.

I don't care about the characters and the story is shit. I'm on the verge of dropping this shit now unless something happens.

>>8847672
I agree with you, and MLA is way too overrated anyway. You should have known this before starting it.

>>8847672

Welcome to MLA.

>I really doubt the 2-3 last episodes will save this boring trite

And you're right about that. I think a lot of people were simply blinded by the bombastic production.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend ML/A to anyone new to eroge. Forcing people to read technical babble for countless hours would just drive them away.

>>8846930
In liked Saihate better than C+C, buut it really doesn't show its true colors after a while, so you may have the same problem you had with Cross.
The opening is charming though.

>>8847672
eroge like MLA are made for easily impressed people like moogy. have you seen his comment on MLA "omg a wall made of beta corpses so epik!!! 10/10 instantly this cancels out all negative things in MLA" even though 90% of the game is pure shit. I'd like to see anyone reason why this game should be called a masterpiece. it's shallow as fuck and boring and uninspiring. the only saving grace is the production value

>>8847785
It impressed a lot more people than some random faggot

>>8847795

Yeah. Other easily impressed people.

>>8847785
>I'd like to see anyone reason why this game should be called a masterpiece
Hahaha, good luck with that. It's simply a "masterpiece" to them, they don't need any reasons. Typical MLA fanboy logic.

>>8847854
>>8847785
It's always easier to point out flaws at something than to say something nice, it's true for pretty much everything.
In the end people like it, why the fuck do you care?

>>8847901
typical mla fanboy here, can't criticize his favourite eroge

>>8848532
The production values in general were.
And now, even more CGs. As if the route endings weren't just CG after CG to the point I don't even remember sprites.

I'm going to post a picture of Moogy every time you mention him.

>>8848911
How can someone be so fucking ugly and so fat at the same time?

Good riddance

these titles always get me. I mean they even explained the whole thing between brackets

>>8851584
They just use the titles as a super brief synopsis of the game. Extremely lacking in creativity but... works for me.

>>8851584
I like it when they do that, low budget (sometimes doujin) games often cater to very specific niches/fetishes. So they ought to be as specific as possible to make themselves easy to find for the few people who's into these fetishes.

This month seems so bad, is there something worth expecting?

>>8852366
Circus next masterpiece, obviously.

>>8852378
It actually looks more promising than pretty much everything else released this month

>>8852366
I'm looking forward to Hyouka no Mau Sora ni, but I have low standards, so eh.

>>8852386
I have some hopes for soukou no arterial and monobeno.

I need something real deal, both & and Mahoyo disappointed me.

>>8852366
Shiny Days. I'm expecting a bug ridden landmine.

>>8852580
That's to be expected.

>>8852366
well there's Soukoku no Arterial, Venus Blood Frontier and Monobeno which all look like that they will be good

>>8852366
Shiny Days and Soukou no Arterial for me.

So I'll be playing Demonion all by myself because everyone will be busy with SnA.

Nah I'll be playing that along with the vb and eushully games

>>8853051
I'll try it too

Played through a few ends for kara no shoujo already.
Honestly I think the notebook spoiled the game a couple of times. When Murase was first introduced, his Character list profile was fully detailed for the span of a few lines.. probably a bug, but it literally told me who he conspired with to kidnap Toko (takes place a week? after). Moreover the evidence list was also a spoilerfest, when you first buy tojiko the ring, you get a evidence list update for the ring. This coupled along with other cues turned into the most obvious foreshadowing ever: being told in the past that yukiko's severed hand being delivered with the wedding ring, tojiko's ring getting stuck conveniently after, evidence list update + a clear expectation new victims to emerge soon given the pace/course of the game thusfar.
Not to mention, Every other women being infertile, everyone having some obscure weird disease, incest being commited by everyone (except the protag, why yukari ; ;) Mira having a miracle virgin birth (after some incest no less), then when I choose to shoot Saito, I find out he has some rare condition that reversed the positions of his organs and the bullet missed his heart... WTF. Hopefully when I get to true route it doesn't disappoint as much.

>>8853383
Kara no Shoujo is basically something you read for the mood.
The writing, mystery and overall characterization is overall pretty bad.
Though it could be even more retarded, see Caucassus.
If you thought

Is there any incest eroge with good drama? Most games I tried had a way too convenient plot.

I'm searching for heavy moral implications and hot incest.

>>8853427
Caucasus was such a waste of good art.

>>8853383
after hearing about the notebook bug so much before the voice patch was complete, I went the path of never once opening the damned thing.
Even after the alleged patch that fixed it was released.

>Hopefully when I get to true route it doesn't disappoint as much.
I have some bad news for you...

>>8853427
Is Cartaga worth a read then? However it seemed like kara no shoujo have pretty strong tie ins by sharing the same universe and spoiled me quite a bit about what happened in the past already with major characters(in cartaga).
>>8853459
Wow agreed, first thing I thought was 'a pretty Arcueid' from the cover art.
>>8853474
Oh, I wasn't aware of the bug or even a patch that fixes it, I tend not don't dig up archives to do basic research on games because I tend to spoil myself not being able to refrain myself from hovering my mouse cursor over spoiler text. =(

Minori released a trial for their latest game or something.

Why did I not start this earlier. Best thing I've read in years.

>>8853927
Looks like an interesting read, what is it?

>>8853854
Really? Holy shit.

>>8853940
>>8853940

Some shitty-try-hard denpa game that is clearly a SubaHibi ripoff.

Watch me go crazy with my nightmares guys, am I deep yet? xD

Finished Little Busters, do you think I would enjoy either the EX/Me/Converted Edition or it gives just a little plus to the story?

>>8853961
Saya's route is always worth it as the best character route.

>>8853854
>>8853951
Nice, now only if I can get into their website or get a download link

>>8853970
Just wait for the eventual mirrors.
I wonder if it'll need an anti-gaijin hack.

>>8853927
さよならを教えて～comment te dire adieu～

>>8853955
Oh you. Subahibi and Tsui no Sora concentrate more on philosophy and have some positive moments, Sayonara wo Oshiete is full on psychological terror and is all around negative. I'm liking Sayonara wo Oshiete much more.

Normally I would ignore Da Capo III but because I didn't like the first one or the second one (never bothered with the other games) but those heroines in it are looking good.

I wish, I am getting 7kb/s

I have other things to read I don't mind.

>>8854025
Weird. I was getting 600 kbps last night.
Here is another mirror
http://toxin.kilac.co/f/misc/SPPL.rar

The intro is really laggy for some reason it runs at 10fps probably because of JAPANESE programing

>>8854890
Thanks, getting 1.2 mb/s

Let's see if Minori has another gem up their sleeves.

I realize eroge are getting longer and longer, but people really think a game with a 1.24 MB script is too short to be sold as a full price game?

>>8854980
-It's unvoiced so you read it pretty fast.
-A good amount of that script is spent in the Archive.
-It's full of really boring slice of life scenes that beg to be skipped
-It's the new Type-Moon after 7 years, people expect another big story.

>>8854980
Script sizes are really not a great indication of length because the amount of garbage text varies widely between engines

>>8854980
According to super tlwiki, it has the same script size and lines as sharnoth, so it's probably just dense, but still short since Sharnoth is twice the reading time.

>>8854990
The script sizes being referred to only measure the text one would actually read while playing the game.

>>8854995
-That would only be the case for people who listen to the entire voiced lines, which I don't think most people do.
-Only valid point in your post.
-The same could be said of just about any VN.
-That's understandable but that doesn't mean TM should have to sell their games for less than other brands just because people have special expectations of them.

>>8855120
> which I don't think most people do.
You sure about that?

>>8855120
>The script sizes being referred to only measure the text one would actually read while playing the game
Having looked at about 7 different eroge script formats, including a few for those listed on TLWiki, this isn't true at all.

>>8855120
>-The same could be said of just about any VN.
You don't seem to know how deadly boring the slice of life scenes of Mahoyo are

And why are you so defensive?

>>8855120
The main problem with Mahoyo is that it's 8-10 hours and just the first part of a trilogy for full price.

>>8855303
The main problem with Mahoyo is that it has no story beside a bitch fight between 2 sisters who can't stop pms-ing
By the end it feels like nothing really happened.

>>8855323
Also stupid asspulls and terrible SoL. But let's better focus on the technicalities.

>>8854980
It's a 10 hour game, where the majority of that 10 hours is very anti-climatic and boring. There is also no voice acting. And they want 100 dollars for it. You're surprised if people find this to be a bit of a rip off?

>>8855351

On the topic of Mahoyo, how do I get it to work?

I've installed the game, but the DRM's not letting me play

>>8855651
Don't most torrents come with the crack already?
There should be a link for it if yo search in the archive too.

>>8855664

It didn't come with a crack :(

I don't really know how to search the archive either. I've tried google to no avail.

Can you help a poor anon out? ;_;

Being in the intermediate stage of untranslated VN reading is suffering. I understand most things outside of philosophy babble and info dumps but the best VNs have all of those things.

Just venting frustrations, no need to reply.

>>8857734
I know what you mean, but it often feels like you can skip parts like these anyway.
I didn't get a whole lot of the political (or weapon related) talk of grisaia and it was still a great experience. I just hope that won't come back to haunt me when the third part is released.

What's with the main menu items on these VNs being in English a lot of the time? It surely can't be to make the job of those trying to translate it easier...

>>8858138
Japanese writers are Murricaholics.

>>8836020
Does nobody know anything about it here?

>>8857988
>I know what you mean, but it often feels like you can skip parts like these anyway.
I don't know about that "often"... You can't really skip the political/deep parts on ML, Muramasa, Ikusa Megami... actually almost any game I can remember that has some kind of political intrigue would lose quite a bit of its charm if you skipped that part.

>>8858198
IMO SubaHibi's philosophical parts weren't that hard to understand, especially if you use JParser for hard kanji. Expect perhaps this one...

>>8857734
>but the best VNs have all of those things.
Feels good having unsophisticated tastes and being able to enjoy eroge that don't have any of those things.

>>8858221
Agreed. I found the difficulty/untranslatability of Subahibi's writing overblown.

Quite some events announced lately. Anyone attending? Gianism and Visual Art's look interesting enough. Dream Party is in danger with Tech Gian making their event at the same time on the same day...

http://va20th.jp/

>>8858221
I (>>8858198) don't really know about that for others, since I study philosophy I already knew what they were talking about. Instead the economics part... that one was hard. I actually checked on wikipedia to see who the guy was.

>>8858229
> difficulty/untranslatability of Subahibi's writing overblown
I'm guessing people who seriously think it's a hard to translate game (as opposed to the usual trolls) don't think so because its vocabulary or concepts are difficult to grasp or anything. I could understand the game just fine but I'd have trouble transposing it in english leaving the feel of the script as intact as possible, much like games whose writing is one of the strong points that get severely gimped when translated by students.

>>8858221
I think my brain deleted that part for some reason.

Kuro is a total miracle of the universe. Dat sickly albino moe.

>>8858221
What was this part about again?

Fuck I don't like where this is going

>>8858477
Source? The closest match leads to a korean? site I can't access.

>>8858481
Even if you can't access the site the name of the game is right there in non-korean character dude

>>8858481
It's StarTrain
I like it quite a lot so far, the writing is very pleasant, feel casual and flow really well.
But I know it's going to break my heart soon
