And finished Rakuen's main story few minutes ago.

This is some kind of joke, right? What the fucking, fuckity, fuck did I just read?
I don't even dislike genre shifts but this was so stupidly executed and full of ass pulls. The constant switch between comedic banter and hyper grimdark semi sci-fi grated me to no end.

Certainly a very "memorable" title with great production values but instead of exceeding or going below my expectations, the game went sort of "sideways" leaving only memories of a very awkward clusterfuck.

I just don't know anymore.

No Yuuji, you are the demons. And then Yuuji was Onslow

Bad jokes aside, I have to say I was positively surprised. I expected the whole thing to fall apart at some point but aside from a few raised eyebrows here and there I felt it was rather well done. It was also nice how none of the scenes dragged out for too long, which has ruined some VNs for me in the past.

Worthy finish for the series in my opinion. But there was just something missing. I wasn't bored while reading but there wasn't just any of that feel that makes your hands swear and feel excited about what's going to happen next. Although I thought the previous games were great, they weren't really my biggest favorites either. That opinion didn't change much with the finale.

In a good (and bad) way Rakuen followed the same line as the previous titles even though it went for a crazier plot line this time, the people who liked or disliked the previous titles won't change their opinion there.

Well personally I love the cast so damn much as I was just really happy to see them again so I'm pretty much biased, I could watch these characters go on adventure forever without getting bored, definitely one of my favorite eroge cast.

Finished Rakuen just 20 minutes ago - for the main story I liked how the main writer kept it focused and not dragged even though he had quite a few opportunities to do so for some more full-powered actions. I can't help but when he wrote those with lightly interactions in mind in how to do the emotion train ride - ie, what sold grisaia (kajitsu/meikyuu) as the core. Thus he probably held off stringing a little longer for plot purpose. Yes, I do linger perhaps a little more story into Oslo's camp but by no means unsatisfied. Very emjoyable, no regret following this series with anticipation. Honestly I didn't think of the first title (kajitsu) much just from the usual description until a few fellower /jp/er started a little discussion. Thank you fellows!

Rakuen's execution wasn't exactly stellar. The antagonists were made up of forgettable cliches with almost zero characterization or screen time, most twists are simple ass pulls instead of receiving proper foreshadowing and the constant shift between hyper serious and comedy even during Yuuji's slaughter fun on Tartaros just makes it more of a clusterfuck.

I agree with >>10951568
If you can stomach all the shit that's happening and not dwell on it too long you'll still get out a good, memorable experience out of the game. I think the main problem was that that at least the two previous games "tried" to be believable while Rakuen takes it to a whole new level.

Reading the Prologue chapter last was a good way to finish the trilogy. Gave a nice nostalgic feeling of things coming full circle for the reader.

Can't deny that this was an entertaining read and the characters were as good as always but I thought the plot itself was total garbage to be honest. Kazuki ruined any kind of tension and excitement the story could have had by providing the perfect plan for every situation for absolutely everyone during the entire duration of the game, absolutely everything that happens in Rakuen is all according to Keikaku, all the time. I don't think there was even a single instance of something going wrong without Kazuki having at least 6 fail-safe mechanisms ready. Thank god she stayed the fuck away from the finale because she would have ruined that too.

Just switch off the <insert VA> voice every few VN to relieve your listening fatigue, really not much to be done. Or go through some of the older VN with little to no voiceover.

Going through 終奏のオーグメント - aka the coda of the main Augment story. As it's a fandisk rather than a coda like say WA2, ero/cgs were quickly threw together. The teacher route should just be skipped entirely using ctrl button - very weak excuse to score her.

Western magazine writes nonsense article about eroge, wow I'm shocked. Make a thread about it I'm sure you'll find many people who actually give a shit.

Now, Reminiscence comes out tomorrow, guess it's a good time to stay the fuck away from discussion boards. Pretty sure people can't wait to spoil absolutely everything about Kaito's appearance and the plot in general.

Actually I don't take he played it at all, it takes less than 10 hours to get to the hscene in that game. That game was short.

wat, everything that is worth spoilering is spoilered on release date. Doubly so with a high-profile release like Reminiscence. If you don't want to get spoilered you stay away from places that talk about eroge, it has always been like that.

>>10967943
In most cases what you get is a wall of black bars when discussing. The people who don't bother with spoilers are just trying to ruin it for others, like that one guy with Rakuen a bit back.

Probably can't be helped though since it was a pretty high profile release as others said.

I'm amazed by the people who manage to achieve that for some games. The only exception to the rule seems to be the gameplay ones but even then, there always appears to be some extremely fast people.

Do they have abnormal reading speeds or do they read it all day and night without taking breaks or something?

I don't know whether to be impressed or disappointed with those people.

On one hand, they somehow manage finish all sorts of long games on the damn release day. On the other hand, I can't help but believe that these people just mash buttons and ignore all the dialogue and side content just to say "look guys, I finished it already".

While I don't doubt that, people who hover over the enter key and speed read also just plain go through it faster than a relaxed pace.
I wondered the same thing at one point and the guy answered by saying he only moves his eyes twice per average line of dialog, and the VA almost never speaks more than a few sounds.
